Retarding action phosphonates

Mono- and diphosphonium halides have been found to be flame retardants for plastic materials. Their effectiveness can be related to the formation of various active phosphorus compounds, as well as to many of the postulated mechanisms for flame retardant action. The compounds are postulated to be effective because they decompose on ignition to thermally stable phosphine oxides or phosphonic acids which, in turn, are decomposed to continuous films of phosphate glass. In addition, the phosphonium halides form alkyl halides which cool the flame and/or form halogen acids which are fame retardants. [Pg.333]

HEDP), diethylenenitramine pentamethylene phosphonic acid (DTMP), and their corresponding sodium salts were added to cement and cement compounds in small amounts of 0.03-0.09% in order to study their retarding action. Conduction calorimetry and DSC techniques were applied.[ °]... [Pg.241]

The mechanism of the action of the phosphonate as a flame retardant is generally believed to be decomposition into acid fragments which contribute to char formation. These acidic species catalyze decomposition of the polyester, and give rise to species which on reaction with the phosphorus moiety cause char formation. TGA curves of the copolymers confirm that the incorporation of phosphorus into the polymer increases the char residue (Figure 4). These curves, however, show little evidence that the presence of phosphorus has any effect upon the temperature or rate of decomposition of the polyester. The curves are all fairly similar up to about 450°C. After that point, the amount of residue is proportional to the amount of phosphorus in the terpolymer. [Pg.431]

The stabilizer may consist of carboxylic acids and phosphorus-containing organic acid salts such as hexametaphosphates, polyphosphates and phosphonates. The mechanism of action of the stabilizer admixture is thought to be related to the inhibition of CSH and CH nucleation. It is claimed that the nucleation process is controlled more comprehensively than that obtained with conventional retarders [10], Cement hydration is arrested by the admixture acting on all phases of cement hydration including the C3A fraction. The claim is... [Pg.365]

Chlorinated paraffins, which contain up to 60-70% chlorine, are low in cost and are used as secondary plasticizer in PVC wire and cable insulations. Perchlorobicyclopentadiene has little plasticizing action and is used in polyethylene. Some of the more expensive bromine-containing fire retardants which have been used in the ratio of 5 p.p.h. in polystyrene foam, may be reduced to 0.5 p.p.h. by adding synergists such as peroxides or nitroso compounds. The reaction-type retardants, such as chlorendic acid and anhydride, hydroxy-terminated phosphonated esters, and specific brominated aliphatic esters, are admixed to rigid and flexible polyurethane foams, reinforced polyesters, phenolics, and epoxy resins. [Pg.14]

Tetrakishydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride (THPC) is well established as a flame retardant agent with textiles (3). Collins (2) has suggested that THPC and urea break down to produce phosphoric acid via a phosphine oxide, phosphinic acid, and phosphonic acid. For cellulose, Collins concludes flameproofing is essentially caused by the dehydrating action of the phosphoric acid formed. [Pg.339]

Phosphonic acid-based chemicals are known to form complexes with many inorganic species, and the action of many retarders is based on complex formation. Several phosphonic acids such as amino trimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP), 1-hydroxyethylidene-l, 1-diphosphonic acid... [Pg.240]
