Abstract
Disclosed are flame retardant compositions comprised of (a) brominated anionic styrenic polymer, and (b) at least one polybrominated alpha-omega diphenylalkane having a total of at least 6 bromine atoms directly bonded to the phenyl rings and in the range of 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene group disposed between the phenyl groups, and specified flame retarded polymer compositions with which have been blended (a) and (b) individually or in combination.
Claims5
A flame retardant additive composition which consists essentially of (a) brominated anionic styrenic polymer, and (b) decabromodiphenylpropane.
A flame retardant composition comprising a substrate polymer comprised of one or more polymerized monomers that had a polymerizable olefinic double bond in the molecule and with which polymer has been blended a flame retardant quantity of a flame retardant amount of (a) brominated anionic styrenic polymer, and (b) at least one polybrominated alpha-omega diphenylalkane having a total of 10 bromine atoms directly bonded to the phenyl rings and in the range of 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene group disposed between the phenyl groups, said alkylene group being a linear alkylene group, wherein the total bromine content of said flame retardant composition, exclusive of the weight of any other additive component(s) but inclusive of optional other bromine-containing flame retardant(s), is in the range of about 2 to about 25 wt %.
