LOW SCORCHING FLAME RETARDANTS FOR POLYURETHANE FOAMS

摘要

A flame retardant composition for use in flame retarding a polyurethane foam composition so that the foam has reduced scorch as a result of its manufacture, said flame retardant composition comprising a mixture of (a) a flame retardant of the type that normally causes scorch when used in such fo am and (b) a benzofuranone derivative, as a anti-scorch stabilizer.
