Abstract

A flexible, flame-retarded, polyurethane foam comprising brominated and/or phosphorous flame retardants and an acid scavenger.

Claims (6)

1. A flexible polyurethane foam comprising a fire retardant consisting of a brominated composition, or a phosphorous composition, or both and 7-Oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylic acid, also known by the name 3′,4′-enoxycvclohexylmethyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate, as an acid scavenger.

2. The flexible polyurethane foam composition according to claim 1 wherein the fire retardant is one or more components selected from the group consisting of tetrabromobenzoate esters, tetrabromophthalate esters, hexabromocyclododecane, tribromoneopentyl alcohol, dibromoneopentyl glycol, tricresyl phosphate, trixylyl phosphate, butylated triphenyl phosphate, isopropylated triphenyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, tris(2-ethylhexyl), phosphate, dimethylpropyl phosphonate, isodecyl diphenyl phosphate, cresyl diphenyl phosphate, tri-n-butyl phosphate, tri-isobutyl phosphate, tributoxyethyl phosphate, resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate), bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate), 2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-4-methanol, 1-oxide, and diethyl ethyl phosphonate.

3. The flexible polyurethane foam composition according to claim 1 wherein the flame retardant is a mixture of 2-ethylhexyltetrabromobenzoate and isopropylated triphenylphosphate.

4. A method of preparing a flame retarded flexible polyurethane foam composition comprising adding a flame retardant consisting of a brominated composition, or a phosphorous composition, or both and 7-Oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylic acid, also known by the name 3′,4′-enoxycyclohexylmethyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate, as an acid scavenger.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the flame retardant is selected from the group consisting of tetrabromobenzoate esters, tetrabromophthalate esters, hexabromocyclododecane, tribromoneopentyl alcohol, dibromoneopentyl glycol, tricresyl phosphate, trixylyl phosphate, butylated triphenyl phosphate, isopropylated triphenyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, tris(2-ethylhexyl), phosphate, dimethyipropyl phosphonate, isodecyl diphenyl phosphate, cresyl diphenyl phosphate, tri-n-butyl phosphate, tri-isobutyl phosphate, tributoxyethyl phosphate, resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate), bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate), 2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-4-methanol, 1-oxide, and diethyl ethyl phosphonate.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein the flame retardant is a mixture of 2-ethylhexyltetrabromobenzoate and isopropylated triphenyl phosphate.
