FLAME RETARDANT COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Organic polymeric substrates, for example polyolefins such as polypropylene, can be made flame retardant by the incorporation of a synergistic mixture of (i.) a sterically hindered amine of the nitroxyl, hydroxylamine, alkoxyamine or hydroxyalkoxyamine class, and (ii.) a fluorinated polyolefin. Advantageously, a further flame retardant may be added, without the need of adding an antimony synergist. The compositions of the invention combine good flame retardant properties with light stability and good mechanical properties.
