Abstract
Plastic compositions containing a three component system consisting of (1) polyethylene, (2) certain bis-phenoxy compounds having the formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN Z is bromine, m and m' are each integers having a value of 5, and alkylene is a straight chain carbon group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and (3) an enhancing agent, hereinafter defined.
Claims21
A plastic composition comprising a three component system consisting of (1) polyethylene polymer, (2) a bis-phenoxy compound, which functions as a flame retardant for said composition, having the formula ##STR6## wherein (a) Z is bromine;
- (b) m and m' are independent and are integers having a value of 5 and (c) alkylene is selected from the group consisting of --(CH.sub.2)--, --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --, and --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --, and (3) a flame retardant enhancing agent.
A plastic composition comprising a three component system consisting of (1) low density polyethylene polymer, (2) a bis-phenoxy compound, which functions as a flame retardant for said composition, having the formula ##STR7## wherein (a) Z is bromine;
- (b) m and m' are independent and are integers having a value of 5 and (c) alkylene is --(CH.sub.2)-- and (3) a flame retardant enhancing agent.
A plastic composition comprising a three component system consisting of (1) low density polyethylene polymer, (2) a bis-phenoxy compound, which functions as a flame retardant for said composition, having the formula ##STR8## wherein (a) Z is bromine;
- (b) m and m' are independent and are integers having a value of 5 and (c) alkylene is --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 -- and (3) a flame retardant enhancing agent.
A plastic composition comprising a three component system consisting of (1) low density polyethylene polymer, (2) a bis-phenoxy compound, which functions as a flame retardant for said composition, having the formula ##STR9## wherein (a) Z is bromine;
- (b) m and m' are independent and are integers having a value of 5 and (c) alkylene is --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 -- and (3) a flame retardant enhancing agent.
A flame retarded, shaped plastic composition comprising a three component system which consists of (a) a low density polyethylene polymer, (b) a bis-phenoxy compound which is 1,2-bis (2,3,4,5,6-pentabromophenoxy)ethane and (c) an enhancing agent selected from the group consisting of oxides of antimony, arsenic and bismuth;
- with the proviso that said plastic composition is further characterized by having a flammability rating of SE-0 (V-0) as determined by the UL-94 procedure described in this specification.
A substantially white, flame retarded, injection molded plastic composition comprising a three component system which consists of (a) low density polyethylene polymer, (b) a bis-phenoxy compound which is 1,2-bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentabromophenoxy) ethane and (c) an enhancing agent selected from the group consisting of oxides of antimony, arsenic and bismuth;
- with the proviso that said plastic composition is further characterized by having a flammability rate of SE-0 (V-0) as determined by the UL-94 procedure described in the specification.
