FLAME RETARDANT BLENDS FOR FLEXIBLE POLYURETHANE FOAMS

摘要

A flame retardant blend comprises the following components: (a) at least one diester diol of a ring-brominated aromatic compound; (b) at least one alkylated triphenylphosphate; and (c) at least one hindered phenolic anti-oxidant in which the phenolic ring is substituted by at least one alkanoic alkyl ester group in which the alkanoic acid moiety has from about 2 to about 4 carbon atoms and the alkyl group has about 6 to about 16 carbon atoms. The proportions by weight of components (a) and (b) in the blend are in the range of about 30:70 to about 70:30 and the proportion by weight of component (c) to the sum of components (a) and (b) is in the range of about 0.1 : 100 to 1 : 100.
