Mixtures of dialkylphosphinic acids and alkylphosphinic acids, a process for preparation thereof and use thereof
View Patent ↗The invention relates to mixtures of at least one dialkylphosphinic acid of the formula (I) in which R 1 , R 2 are the same or different and are each independently C 1 -C 18 -alkyl, C 2 -C 18 -alkenyl, C 6 -C 18 -aryl, C 7 -C 18 -alkylaryl, with at least one alkylphosphonic acid of the formula (II) in which R 3 is C 1 -C 18 -alkyl, C 2 -C 18 -alkenyl, C 6 -C 18 -aryl or C 7 -C 18 -alkylaryl; to a process for preparation thereof and to the use thereof.
1. A mixture of at least one dialkylphosphinic acid of the formula (I)
with at least one alkylphosphonic acid of the formula (II)
wherein
R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and are ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, or mixtures thereof, and
at least one synergist, wherein the at least one synergist is melamine cyanurate, melamine polyphosphate, aluminum hydroxide, boehmite, magnesium hydroxide, or zinc borate, and wherein the mixture includes 95 to 99.9% by weight of dialkylphosphinic acid of the formula (I) and 5 to 0.1% by weight of alkylphosphonic acid of the formula (II).
2. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , comprising 98 to 99.9% by weight of dialkylphosphinic acid of the formula (I) and 2 to 0.1% by weight of alkylphosphonic acid of the formula (II).
3. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one dialkylphosphinic acid is diethylphosphinic acid and the at least one alkylphosphonic acid is ethylphosphonic acid and the mixture comprises 98 to 99.9% by weight of diethylphosphinic acid and 0.1 to 2% by weight of ethylphosphonic acid.
4. A binder, a crosslinker or accelerator in the curing of epoxy resins, polyurethanes and unsaturated polyester resins, a polymer stabilizer, a crop protection composition, a sequestrant, a mineral oil additive, an anticorrosive, a washing composition, a cleaning composition or an electric composition comprising a mixture of at least one dialkylphosphinic acid of the formula (I)
with at least one alkylphosphonic acid of the formula (II)
wherein
R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and are ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, or mixtures thereof, and
at least one synergist, wherein the at least one synergist is melamine cyanurate, melamine polyphosphate, aluminum hydroxide, boehmite, magnesium hydroxide or zinc borate, and wherein the mixture includes 95 to 99.9% by weight of dialkylphosphinic acid of the formula (I) and 5 to 0.1% by weight of alkylphosphonic acid of the formula (II).
