  • Novel metal hydroxide derivatives containing chemically bound organophosphorus or polyphosphate species as flame retardants
    Publication number: 20060219991
    Abstract: Novel metal hydroxide derivatives which chemically combine positively charged metal hydroxide layers with negatively charged phosphorus-containing species, which can be either anionic organophosphorus materials or phosphorus-containing polymeric anions, are described. The metal hydroxide derivatives are useful flame retardants through their ability to be completely dispersed and their formation of a crust or char to prevent flame propagation.
