Abstract

The invention provides a photopolymerizable composition comprising: flame-retardant particles which contains a hydrated metal and have an average diameter of about 1 to 500 nm; and a photopolymerization reactive material. The hydrated metal preferably includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydrated magnesium, hydrated calcium, hydrated aluminum, hydrated zinc, hydrated barium, hydrated copper and hydrated nickel. A cover layer which comprises an organic compound or a polysilicone is preferably formed on surfaces of the flame-retardant particles. The invention provides a flame-retardant resin-formed article which is formed of the photopolymerized photopolymerizable composition. A flame retardancy of the article measured in accordance with the UL-94 test preferably scores HB or higher.

Claims (18)

1. A photopolymerizable composition comprising:

flame-retardant particles which have an average diameter of about 1 to 500 nm and contain a hydrated metal; and

a photopolymerization reactive material.

2. A photopolymerizable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrated metal includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydrated magnesium, hydrated calcium, hydrated aluminum, hydrated zinc, hydrated barium, hydrated copper and hydrated nickel.

3. A photopolymerizable composition according to claim 1 , wherein a cover layer which contains an organic compound or a polysilicone is formed on surfaces of the flame-retardant particles.

4. A photopolymerizable composition according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the flame-retardant particles which are contained in the photopolymerizable composition is in a range of about 1 to 100 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the photopolymerization reactive material.

5. A photopolymerizable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the photopolymerization reactive material contains at least one selected from the group consisting of an urethane acrylate and an urethane methacrylate.

6. A photopolymerizable composition according to claim 1 , which further contains a photopolymerization initiator.

7. A flame-retardant resin-formed article which is formed of a photopolymerizable composition comprising:

flame-retardant particles which have an average diameter of about 1 to 500 nm and contain a hydrated metal; and

a photopolymerization reactive material.

8. A flame-retardant resin-formed article according to claim 7 , wherein the hydrated metal includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydrated magnesium, hydrated calcium, hydrated aluminum, hydrated zinc, hydrated barium, hydrated copper and hydrated nickel.

9. A flame-retardant resin-formed article according to claim 7 , wherein a cover layer which contains an organic compound or a polysilicone is formed on surfaces of the flame-retardant particles.

10. A flame-retardant resin-formed article according to claim 7 , wherein an amount of the flame-retardant particles which are contained in the photopolymerizable composition is in a range of about 1 to 100 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the photopolymerization reactive material.

11. A flame-retardant resin-formed article according to claim 7 , wherein the photopolymerization reactive material contains at least one selected from the group consisting of an urethane acrylate and an urethane methacrylate.

12. A flame-retardant resin-formed article according to claim 7 , which further contains a photopolymerization initiator.

13. A flame-retardant resin-formed article according to claim 7 , wherein a flame retardancy of the article measured in accordance with the UL-94 test scores HB or higher.

14. A flame-retardant resin-formed article according to claim 7 , wherein a gel fraction of the photopolymerized photopolymerizable composition is 70% or more.
