Disclosed herein are compositions, formulations, applications, and methods of making a fire resistant material. The fire resistant material is a transparent acrylic material that incorporates a primary polymer, nanostructured fillers, and crosslinkers. The nanostructured filler is polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) or a POSS derivative that has a cage like structure. The fire resistant material may also include various components such as brominated additives and phosphorous based synergists. The fire resistant material may be used for various applications including wall claddings and glazings.

The present invention relates to the combination of certain flame retardant additives in a copolyester to improve the flame retardant properties of the copolyester composition while retaining clarity and impact properties, methods of making the copolyester composition and articles made from the copolyester composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of brominated flame retardant compounds in copolyester compositions to improve the flame retardant properties while surprisingly retaining clarity, glass transition temperature, and impact properties.

The present invention provides a flame retardant composition having a high flame retarding effect and exceptional bleed-out suppression when added to a resin, and a flame-retardant thermoplastic resin composition that uses the same. This flame retardant composition includes a phosphoramidate compound (component (A)) having a specific structure, and a hindered amine compound (component (B)). This flame retardant composition furthermore includes, as needed, a compound (component (C)) having a 1,3,5-triazine structure or a 1,3,5-triazine fused ring structure. This flame-retardant thermoplastic resin composition includes the above component (A), the above component (B), and a thermoplastic resin (component (D)), and furthermore includes, as needed, the above component (C).

A polymeric composition includes a silane functionalized polyolefin, a brominated flame retardant having a Temperature of 5% Mass Loss from 350° C. to 500° C. and from 2 wt % to 50 wt % Retained Mass at 650° C. The 5% Mass Loss and Retained Mass at 650° C. are measured according to Thermogravimetric Analysis. The polymeric composition also includes a zinc (Zn) flame retardant synergist. The polymeric composition is free of antimony trioxide and has a zinc to bromine (Br) molar ratio (Zn:Br molar ratio) of greater than 0.0 to 0.160.

A first composition is disclosed that includes a fire-resistant thermoplastic resin. The fire-resistant thermoplastic resin includes 1-20 wt % of an aryl phosphate, includes 1-20 wt % of a phosphate polymer, and 60%-98% of a (meth)acrylic polymer, including units from at least one monomer, wherein the monomer is chosen from methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid esters, methacrylic acid esters, acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride. The first composition may further include a fabric or a composite material that is embedded with the fire-resistant thermoplastic resin. In some instances, the aryl-phosphate and the phosphonate polymer synergistically reduce an effective heat of combustion, a peak heat release, or a flame time as compared to a second composition that contains only one of the aryl phosphate or the phosphonate polymer.

An impact-modified composition and a method of making an impact-modified composition are provided. In an embodiment, the method includes reacting a phosphazene material with an acrylamide material to form a functionalized phosphazene material; initiating a polymerization reaction on a reaction mixture comprising the functionalized phosphazene material and one or more monomers to form an impact-modified phosphazene material; and adding the an impact-modified phosphazene material to a polymeric material.

The present invention relates to high-voltage components, especially for electromobility, containing polymer compositions based on at least one polyester and at least one sulfide containing cerium, and to the use thereof for production of polyester-based high-voltage components or for marking of polyester-based products as high-voltage components by laser.
