Abstract

A flame retardant composition comprises (a) an organic halide flame retardant in the form of a powder having an average particle size less than or equal 15 microns and (b) an inorganic oxide in an amount up to 5% of the total weight of the organic halide and the inorganic oxide.

Claims (31)

1 . A flame retardant composition comprising (a) an organic halide flame retardant in the form of a powder having an average particle size less than or equal 15 microns and (b) an inorganic oxide in an amount up to 5% of the total weight of the organic halide and the inorganic oxide.

2 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant powder has an average particle size of less than or equal 10 microns.

3 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant powder has an average particle size of less than or equal 5 microns.

4 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant powder has an average particle size of about 1 to about 2 microns.

5 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant comprises an organic bromide.

6 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant comprises decabromodiphenylethane.

7 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic oxide is present in an amount up to 1 wt % of the total weight of the organic halide and the inorganic oxide.

8 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic oxide is present in an amount from about 0.5 to about 1% of the total weight of the organic halide and the inorganic oxide.

9 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic oxide has a BET surface area of at least 250 m 2 /g.

10 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic oxide has a BET surface area of at least 300 m 2 /g.

11 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic oxide is selected from at least one of silica, alumina, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide and aluminosilicate clays.

12 . The flame retardant composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic oxide comprises silica.

13 . The flame retardant composition of claim 12 , wherein the silica comprises fumed silica.

14 . A flame retardant polymer composition comprising a flammable macromolecular material and a blend comprising (a) an organic halide flame retardant in the form of a powder having an average particle size less than or equal 15 microns and (b) inorganic oxide in an amount up to 5% of the total weight of the organic halide and the inorganic oxide.

15 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant powder has an average particle size of less than or equal 10 microns.

16 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant powder has an average particle size of less than or equal 5 microns.

17 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant powder has an average particle size of about 1 to about 2 microns.

18 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant comprises an organic bromide.

19 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the organic halide flame retardant comprises decabromodiphenylethane.

20 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the inorganic oxide is present in an amount up to 1 wt % of the total weight of the organic halide and the inorganic oxide.

21 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the inorganic oxide is present in an amount from about 0.5 to about 1% of the total weight of the organic halide and the inorganic oxide.

22 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the inorganic oxide has a BET surface area of at least 250 m 2 /g.

23 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the inorganic oxide has a BET surface area of at least 300 m 2 /g.

24 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the inorganic oxide is selected from at least one of silica, alumina, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide and aluminosilicate clays.

25 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the inorganic oxide comprises silica.

26 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 25 , wherein the silica comprises fumed silica.

27 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the flammable macromolecular material is high impact polystyrene and the blend is present in an amount between about 8 and about 16% of the total weight of the flame retardant polymer composition.

28 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the flammable macromolecular material is a propylene homopolymer or copolymer and the blend is present in an amount between about 20 and about 36% of the total weight of the flame retardant polymer composition.

29 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the flammable macromolecular material is polyethylene and the blend is present in an amount between about 16 and about 28% of the total weight of the flame retardant polymer composition.

30 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the flammable macromolecular material is a polyester and the blend is present in an amount between about 8 and about 16% of the total weight of the flame retardant polymer composition.

31 . The flame retardant polymer composition of claim 14 , wherein the flammable macromolecular material is a thermosetting polymer and the blend is present in an amount between about 10 and about 35% of the total weight of the flame retardant polymer composition.
