Abstract: 3-Hydroxylbenzyl compounds of formula, ##STR1## in which each of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is a hydrocarbon group, e.g. alkyl, R.sub.4 is hydrogen or alkyl, or forms with R.sub.1 --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, and Z is either an oxygen- or sulphur-containing group featuring at least one ester or amide moiety, or a disubstituted amino group, Z being bound to the rest of the molecule via the oxygen or sulphur atom, or nitrogen atom, respectively, are useful as antioxidants. Organic materials which are susceptible to the degradative effects of oxygen are treated with one or more of such compounds, e.g. by incorporation into the body of the organic material, in order to be stabilized against such effects.

Abstract: Carbonates and urethanes of 2,2'-alkylene or -cycloalkylene-bis-4,6-disubstituted phenols are useful for stabilizing organic materials against the degradative effects of oxygen.

Abstract: Flameproofing composition comprises an O,O,O-triester of phosphorus, phosphoric or thiophosphoric acid and a haloalkyl aryl ether, and optionally a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or an organic tin or lead compound. The composition is useful for flameproofing polymeric organic materials, especially synthetic polymeric organic materials such as polypropylene, which may alternatively be flameproofed by treatment separately with the individual components of the composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to the production of phosphorus derivatives with a 5,5-bis-(halomethyl)-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane structure and to their use as flameproofing agents for plastics and textile fibres.

Abstract: The present invention relates to phosphorus containing compounds and more specifically to phosphorous and phosphoric acid esters of the formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen or alkyl,n is an integer 1 or 2, andY is a mono or divalent aromatic radical.The compounds are useful as flame retardants for, e.g., plastics materials.

Abstract: The invention provides novel boric acid esters, useful as flame retardants.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel method of flame-proofing flammable material which comprises treating said material with a compound of the formula: ##EQU1## WHEREIN N IS 1 OR 2, AND R, when n is 1, is a radical of the formula ##EQU2## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are substituents e.g. alkyl, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, together with the nitrogen atom, form a heterocyclic ring or R, when n is 2, is a radical of the formula ##EQU3## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.4 are substituents e.g. alkyl and R.sub.3 is a hydrocarbon bridge e.g. alkylene, or R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.4, together with the nitrogen atoms to which they are bound, form a heterocyclic ring, or a group of the formula ##SPC1##Wherein m is 1 to 5, and novel compounds (i.e. when n is 2) useful as flame-proofing agents.

Abstract: Flame retarding compounds of formula, ##SPC1##In whichEach n, independently, is an integer 2 to 5, andR is a divalent radical of formula ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 is alkylene or arylene and eachR.sub.2, independently, is alkyl or phenyl,For incorporation in organic materials such as plastics materials.
