Abstract
This invention relates to a novel stabilized borax based fire retardant system. More particularly, this invention pertains to a borax containing fire retardant system which is stabilized and resists leaching and oxidation when combined as a coating or an impregnation with a suitable substrate such as wood, plastic or the like. A stabilized borate suspension useful for providing fire retardancy to a substrate comprising: (a) a liquid polyacrylate suspension; (b) a liquid polytetrafluoroethylene suspension; (c) a borate powder; (d) a liquid vinyl acetate co-polymer suspension; and (e) sufficient water to incorporate components (a), (b), (c) and (d) to form an emulsion.

A stabilized borate suspension useful for providing fire retardancy to a substrate comprising:
- (a) a liquid polyacrylate suspension;
- (b) a liquid polytetrafluoroethylene suspension;
- (c) a borate powder;
- (d) a liquid vinyl acetate co-polymer suspension;
- and
- (e) sufficient water to incorporate components (a), (b), (c) and (d) to form an emulsion.
A method of preparing a borate containing fire retardant suspension comprising:
- (a) mixing a liquid polyacrylate suspension with a liquid polytetrafluoroethylene suspension in a first container;
- (b) mixing a borate powder and water in a second container;
- (c) mixing the mixed contents of the first container with the mixed contents of the second container and adding liquid vinyl acetate co-polymer suspension to the resulting mixture;
- and (d) continuing mixing of the combined mixtures until a smooth emulsion suspension is obtained.
