Flame-retardant thermoset compositions

Abstract

The invention relates to flame-retardant thermoset compositions which comprise, as flame retardant, at least one phosphinic salt of the formula (I) and/or a diphosphinic salt of the formula (II) and/or polymers of these 1 where R1,R2 are identical or different and are C1-C6-alkyl, linear or branched, and/or aryl; R3 is C1-C10-alkylene, linear or branched, C6-C10-arylene, -alkylarylene or -arylalkylene; M is Mg, Ca, Al, Sb, Sn, Ge, Ti, Zn, Fe, Zr, Ce, Bi, Sr, Mn, Li, Na, K and/or a protonated nitrogen base; m is from 1 to 4; n is from 1 to 4; and x is from 1 to 4, and also comprise at least one synergistic component from the group consisting of organic or inorganic phosphorus compounds. The invention further relates to a process for preparing these flame-retardant thermoset compositions and to their use.
