  • Polypentabromostyrene, process for the production and use
    Patent number: 4394484
    Abstract: Polypentabromostyrene with a bromine content of 76% to 80%, which is plastic at a temperature of 280.degree. C. and is thermally decomposed at a temperature of about 400.degree. C., can be produced by reacting pentabromophenylethyl bromide with an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate in an alcoholic solvent and subsequently by catalytically initiating polymerization. The polypentabromostyrene is useful as a flame retardant for thermoplastic synthetic resins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 1981
    Date of Patent: July 19, 1983
    Assignee: Chemische Fabrik Kalk GmbH
    Inventors: Herbert Jenkner, Robert Strang, Peter Adermann
  • Flame retardant tetrabromophthalic acid esters useful in synthetic resins
    Patent number: 4376837
    Abstract: Tetrabromophthalic acid esters of pentabromobenzyl alcohol with a softening temperature of 270.degree.-280.degree. C. and a bromine content of about 75% by weight and of a tetrakis(bromomethyl)-o-xylylene glycol with a softening temperature of 220.degree.-230.degree. C. and a bromine content of about 67% by weight are good flame retardants for synthetic resins.

  • Flame-retardant agents for phenolic resins and process for their production
    Patent number: 4182706
    Abstract: Bromated phenylglycerin ethers, prepared by reacting a brominated phenol with 2,3-epoxypropanol-1 in the presence of an alkali at elevated temperatures, are useful flame retardant agents for phenol resins and phenolic resin laminates when used in amounts of about 3 to 30 parts by weight per 100 parts of resin.
