The application of organophosphorus flame‐retardants in epoxy resin

Abstract

The influence of two novel aryl phosphate mixtures on fire retardancy and the thermal stability of epoxy resin were studied. Combustion behavior, decomposition pathway, and thermal and thermo‐oxidative degradation of the epoxy resin were examined by using the limiting oxygen index, vertical burning test (UL‐94), cone calorimeter test, thermogravimetric analysis, and thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. The morphology of the residues from the degradation of flame‐retarded epoxy resins was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy. Data from the cone calorimeter test demonstrated that the total heat evolved, heat release rate, and peak heat release rate decreased significantly when the epoxy resin contained these retardants. Moreover, a 20 wt% of both phosphate mixtures in the epoxy resin allowed for a satisfactory oxygen index (30–33%) and for UL‐94 V2 to be achieved. The condensed‐phase and gas‐phase actions of these aryl phosphate flame‐retardants are proposed as the mode of flame‐retardancy in epoxy resins. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Development of Fully Biobased High-Performance Bis-Benzoxazine under Environmentally Friendly Conditions

“…The flame retardancy of these polybenzoxazines was shown to be superior to the polybenzoxazine of the commercially available BA-a , which possesses a LOI value of 30.3 . and also superior than polyepoxy of the commercially available DGEBA epoxy resin, with LOI values around 20.5 to 24.6. − …”

Fire performance of piperazine phytate modified rigid polyurethane foam composites

“…As observed from Figure 8(A), compared with pure RPUF, RPUF/PA‐Pi composites exhibited higher SPR value. Combined with Table 5, it can be seen that RPUF/PA‐Pi composites exhibited lower carbon residue compared with that of pure RPUF, which may come from the oxidation process of the carbon residue in the existence of air 46,47 . While in the later combustion period, SPR value of RPUF/PA‐Pi were decreased significantly, which had the same trend compared with HRR.…”

Preparation and characterization of UiO‐66‐NH2 adsorbed triethyl phosphate: Flame retardancy and smoke suppression for epoxy resins

“…The presence of ZrO bonds can be detected at 769 cm −1 , which indicates the successful synthesis of UiO‐66‐NH 2 28 . Compared with pure UiO‐66‐NH 2 , the infrared spectrum of U‐T shows a new medium strength peak located at 1035 cm −1 , which is the POC antisymmetric stretching vibration peak of phosphate ester, proving that the synthesized U‐T has adsorbed TEP 29 …”
