Polyolefin Foams. Antimony oxide/chlorowax combinations or other aliphatic chlorine sources are generally used to fire retard polyolefin foams. Because of the higher processing temperatures required (up to 280 C or 536°F), when using azo blowing agents, the antimony ox-ide/chlorine system is inadequate, and in these cases phosphorus-containing fire-retardant systems are preferred (38). 

Some examples of the fire-retardant additives used in polyolefins (12) are hexabromocyclododecane, octabromodipheny 1, hexabromobipheny1, chlorowax, chlorinated triphenyl, chlorendic acid, tris(tribromophenyl)phosphite, and tris(dibromopropyl)phos-phate. 

The acute toxicity of CPs is low, with oral LD50 values in mice and rats exceeding 4 g/kg/bodyweight (bw) (reviewed in [5, 6]). Inhalation or dermal exposure also shows low acute toxicity. For example, an LC50 could not be established in the one reported study of inhalation exposure of rats to a concentration of 3,300 mg/m of Chlorowax 500°C (Ci2 59% Cl, CP-SH) for 1 h [9]. Dermal exposure to this SSCP resulted in an LD50 exceeding 13 g/kg bw [9].

The mechanisms underlying CP carcinogenicity are unclear. Though only hmited studies have been carried out, mutagenic effects appear to be absent for SSCPs, MCCPs or LCCPs in bacterial assays in vitro with or without metabolic activation [4, 10]. In mammalian cells, the SSCP C12 60% Cl has been found to be mutagenic in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells at concentrations of 48 and 60 pg/mL in the absence of metabolic activation [23].
