  • FLAME RETARDANT POLYOLEFIN ARTICLES
    Publication number: 20240352229
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a flame-retardant article comprising a polyolefin substrate having additives incorporated therein, the additives comprising: a specific phosphonate ester of formula (1), a synergist comprising an N-alkoxy hindered amine, and a melamine cyanurate. The present invention also relates to corresponding flame retardant compositions, and the use of these for improving the flame retardency of polyolefins.

  • NOR-HALS compounds as flame retardants
    Patent number: 10316169
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of NOR-HALS compounds in flame retardant polymer compositions. These compositions are especially useful for the manufacture of flame retardant compositions based on thermoplastic polymers, especially polyolefin homo- and copolymers, polycondensates, such as polyamines or polyesters and duro-plastic polymers, such as polyepoxides.
