Description

Flame retardant compound and flame retardant resin composition using the same, flame retardant product

[0001] Cross-citation with related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 10-2024-0011859, filed January 25, 2024, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0003] The present invention relates to a flame retardant compound, a flame retardant resin composition using the same, and a flame retardant product. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flame retardant compound capable of improving the flame retardant properties and mechanical properties of a polymer resin, and a flame retardant resin composition using the same, and a flame retardant product.

[0004] Resins used in electrical / electronic products and office equipment must meet flame retardant standards to ensure the safety of electrical / electronic products against fire.

[0005] There are methods for imparting the above flame retardancy, such as a method of polymerizing by including a flame retardant monomer and a method of mixing a flame retardant or flame retardant aid into the manufactured resin, and the flame retardants include halogen-based flame retardants and non-halogen-based flame retardants such as phosphorus-based, nitrogen-based, and hydroxide-based, and the flame retardant aids include antimony-based compounds, silicone-based compounds, and zinc-based compounds.

[0006] The above halogenated flame retardants are the most common because they have higher flame retardancy efficiency than the non-halogenated flame retardants and can maintain the mechanical properties of the resin, and among them, brominated flame retardants are particularly effective. However, when brominated flame retardants are added to the resin during processing, the high temperatures and pressures generated during processing reduce thermal stability, causing decomposition, resulting in the generation of corrosive and toxic gases, which can have a negative impact on the work environment and human health.

[0007] One way to circumvent the above problems is to use non-halogenated flame retardants, and among these, the method using non-halogenated flame retardant compounds is widely used. However, non-halogenated flame retardant compounds have lower flame retardancy efficiency than halogenated flame retardants, so they require excessive amounts of non-halogenated flame retardant compounds. In addition, due to the principle of phosphorus-based flame retardant systems, thermoplastic resin compositions that do not generate char have difficulty fully demonstrating flame retardancy.

[0008] Accordingly, there is a need for the development of a non-halogenated flame retardant suitable for increasing the flame retardancy of polymer resins.

[0009] The present invention provides a flame retardant compound capable of improving the flame retardant properties and mechanical properties of a polymer resin.

[0010] In addition, the present invention provides a flame retardant resin composition including the flame retardant compound.

[0160]

[0161] <Experimental Example: Measurement of Physical Properties of Flame-Retardant Resin Composition>

[0162] The physical properties of the flame-retardant resin compositions obtained in the above examples and comparative examples were measured by the following methods, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0163]

[0164] 1. Flame retardant properties

[0165] The flame retardant components obtained in the above practical and comparative examples were mixed with polymer pellets and optional additives, and mixed in a twin-screw extruder at a temperature of 230°C to 260°C, or 260°C to 280°C. The homogenized polymer strands were drawn, cooled in a water bath, and then pelletized.

[0166] After sufficient drying, the molding composition was processed in an injection molding machine at a melting temperature of 240°C to 270°C or a melting temperature of 260°C to 290°C to obtain a specimen. Using a specimen with a thickness of 1.6 mm, a width of 12.7 mm, and a length of 127 mm, the flame retardancy was evaluated according to the UL-94 test standard.

[0167] Specifically, after contacting the specimen with a 20 mm high flame for 10 seconds, the specimen's combustion time (t1) was measured and the combustion pattern was recorded. Then, after combustion was completed after the first contact, the specimen was contacted again for 10 seconds, and the specimen's combustion time (t2) and the time until sparks formed (glowing time, t3) were measured and the combustion pattern was recorded. The same procedure was applied to five specimens and then evaluated based on the criteria in Table 2 below.

[0168] Flame retardancy grade V0 V1 V2 Individual burning time (t1 or t2 of individual specimen) 10 seconds or less 30 seconds or less 30 seconds or less Total burning time of 5 specimens (sum of t1 and t2 of 5 specimens) 50 seconds or less 250 seconds or less 250 seconds or less Time for combustion and ignition after secondary contact (sum of t2 and t3 of individual specimens) 30 seconds or less 60 seconds or less 60 seconds or less Whether or not it sheds flammable particles None None None

[0169]

[0170] 2. Other properties besides flame retardancy

[0171] (1) Tensile strength: Measured according to the ASTM D638 method. Specifically, using UTM-5566 (Universal Testing Machine, Instron), five dumbbell-shaped specimens were manufactured according to the ASTM D638 regulations, and the tensile strength of each of the five specimens was measured at a speed of 50 mm / min, and the results were expressed as the average value.

[0172] (2) Izod impact strength at room temperature: Measured at 23 ℃ according to ASTM D256 (1 / 8 inch, Notched Izod).

[0173]

[0174] Experimental example Results Example Additive Flame retardant properties Tensile strength (kgf / cm) 2 ) Impact strength (kgf·cm / cm) UL grade Example 11-1V-01314.0 Example 21-2V-01403.0 Example 31-3V-01453.2 Example 414V-01352.8 Example 51-5V-01413.1 Example 61-6V-01383.5 Comparative example 1A-1V-01302.3

[0175] As shown in Table 3 above, the flame retardant resin compositions obtained in Examples 1 to 6 have x composed of a substituent of Chemical Formula 1 compared to Comparative Example 1. - By including a phosphorus flame retardant compound that is a metal coordination compound containing a ligand, it was confirmed that the flame retardant properties were excellent with a UL rating of VO or V1, and at the same time, both tensile strength and impact strength were high.

[0176] On the other hand, Comparative Example 1 is composed of x as a substituent of Chemical Formula 1. - Even though the UL rating of VO was shown for a general phosphorus flame retardant compound that did not contain a ligand, the tensile strength and impact strength were lower than those of the examples.
