  • Publication number: 20240101905
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a reactive flame-proof composition for vinyl polymers, consisting at least of a first monomer and a second monomer that can be polymerised using the first monomer, wherein the first monomer has at least one aliphatic double bond and can be polymerised using the second monomer to form a reactive flame-proof polymer having an aliphatic double bond. The disclosure also relates to: a reactive flame-proof polymer produced by polymerisation of the reactive flame-proof composition; a use of the flame-proof composition and the flame-proof polymer; a flame-resistant vinyl polymer comprising the reactive flame-proof polymer; and methods for the production thereof. The subjects according to the disclosure can in particular advantageously reduce dripping of vinyl polymers during fires and can thus improve the flame-proof nature of such polymers.
