  • Method to prepare phosphoramides, and resin compositions containing them
    Patent number: 6569929
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing phosphoramides having a glass transition temperature in one embodiment of at least about 0° C., in another embodiment of at least about 10° C., and in still another embodiment of at least about 20° C., the phosphoramides being substantially free of acidic, basic, or halide impurities, or their precursors. The invention also relates to resin compositions comprising at least one thermoplastic resin and at least one phosphoramide having a glass transition temperature of at least about 0° C., wherein the phosphoramide is prepared by the method of the invention.

    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Neal Steven Falcone, John Robert Campbell, James Ross Fishburn
  • Flame retardant resin compositions containing phosphoramides, and method of making
    Patent number: 6433046
    Abstract: The present invention provides resin compositions comprising a thermoplastic resin, at least one phosphoramide having a glass transition point of at least about 0° C. preferably of at least about 10° C., and most preferably of at least about 20° C.; and at least one adjunct flame retardant. The present invention also relates to articles made from the resin compositions. The present invention also provides methods to make the resin compositions having improved heat properties over compositions known in the art.
