Abstract
A fire retardant composition comprising a cured film, wherein said film is formed from a film-forming composition comprising a curable resin and a fire retardant, the fire retardant being included in an amount from about 5 to about 95 weight percent based on the weight of the cured film, and wherein when the film is adhered to a flexible substrate, the film substantially does not alter the hand of the flexible substrate.
Claims44
A fire retardant composition adapted for adhesion to a flexible substrate comprising a cured film, wherein said film is cured prior to adhering to said flexible substrate and wherein said film is formed from a film-forming composition comprising a curable resin and at least one fire retardant, the fire retardant being included in an amount from about 5 to about 95 weight percent based on the weight of the cured film, and wherein when said film is adhered to said flexible substrate, the film substantially does not alter the hand of the flexible substrate.
A process for preparing a fire retardant film, comprising applying a polymeric film forming composition onto a release backing, curing said film forming composition, and separating the resulting film from the release backing,
- wherein said film-forming composition comprises a curable resin and at least one fire retardant in an amount from about 5 to about 95% by weight based on the total weight of the film, and wherein when said film is adhered to a flexible substrate, the film substantially does not alter the hand of the flexible substrate.
A process for preparing a fire retardant film, comprising applying a polymeric film forming composition onto a continuous belt, curing the film-forming composition to form a film, and separating the cured film from the continuous belt,
- wherein said film-forming composition comprises a curable resin and at least one fire retardant in an amount from about 5 to about 95% by weight based on the total weight of solids in the cured film, and wherein when said film is adhered to a flexible substrate, the film substantially does not alter the hand of the flexible substrate.
A process for preparing a laminate, comprising applying a polymeric film forming composition onto a release backing, and curing said film forming composition, wherein said film-forming composition comprises a curable resin and at least one fire retardant in an amount from about 5 to about 95 weight percent based on the total weight of solids in the cured film, and wherein when said film is adhered to a flexible substrate, the film substantially does not alter the hand of the flexible substrate.
An article comprising:
- a flexible substrate;
- and
- a film adhered to said substrate, said film being formed from a film-forming composition comprising a curable resin and at least one fire retardant, wherein said film is cured prior to adhering to said flexible substrate, and wherein when said film is adhered to said flexible substrate, the stiffness of the substrate does not change by more than 50% when subjected to ASTM D747 “Stiffness of Plastics”, than the stiffness of the underlying substrate prior to adherence of said film.
An article comprising:
- a flexible substrate;
- and
- a film adhered to said substrate, said film being formed from a film-forming composition comprising a curable resin and at least one fire retardant, wherein said film is cured prior to adhering to said flexible substrate, and wherein when said film is adhered to said flexible substrate, the stiffness of the substrate does not change by more than 50% when subjected to General Motors Test GM9664P, than the stiffness of the underlying substrate prior to adherence of said film.
A process for imparting flame retardance to a flammable article having a decorative side and a non-decorative side comprising the steps of:
- adhering a cured flame retardant film to the non-decorative side of said article,
- wherein when said film is adhered to a flexible substrate, the film substantially does not alter the hand of the flexible substrate.
