The invention discloses an
intumescent flame retardant and a synthesis method thereof. The
structural formula of the
flame retardant is as shown in the figure, and the chemical name of the
flame retardant is N,N'-bis(5,5-dimethyl-2-phospha-2-sulfo-1,3-dioxane-2-yl) dithiosemicarbazide. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: adding
neopentyl glycol into a reaction vessel filled with a first
solvent, dropwise adding
phosphorus thiochloride at 50-100 DEG C, reacting for 2-10 h, carrying out reduced pressure
distillation, washing with water, and
drying to obtain a white
solid, namely 2-sulfo-2-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane; and adding the white
solid to a second
solvent, adding dithiosemicarbazide and acid binding agent, reacting at 40-120 DEG C for 2-10 h, filtering, pouring the filtrate into
ice water, dropwise adding a defined amount of inorganic acid until the pH value of the filtrate is 7 and white
solid powder is separated out, washing, filtering, and
drying to obtain the finished product.
