Phosphorus element-containing crosslinking agents and flame retardant phosphorus element-containing epoxy resin compositions prepared therewith

摘要

Novel phosphorus element-containing crosslinking agents for epoxy resin compositions based on an isomeric mixture of tris(2-hydroxyphenyl)-phosphine oxide compounds. Epoxy resins cured or crosslinked with the crosslinking agents of this invention yield non-halogenated, ignition resistant epoxy resin formulations. The ignition resistant epoxy resin formulations are advantageously used for making laminates for printed wiring boards and composite materials.
