Abstract: A molding material for the production of highly flame resistant articles with a matrix formed from a thermoplastic and with a particulate flame retardant pigment dispersed therein, wherein under the influence of laser light the material changes color due to a change in color of the pigment or of the plastic matrix, and in that the pigment is a reaction product of at least one halogen-free flame retardant organic nitrogen base with a composition comprising at least one salt which can be reacted with the organic nitrogen base.

Abstract: There is provided a laser-writable molding material containing A) at least one polymer material or at least one precursor compound which can be polymerised to give a polymer material, and B) a particulate salt-like compound or a mixture of particulate salt-like compounds, which under the influence of laser light changes its color or leads to a color change in the component A). In order to enlarge the range of matrix materials hitherto available for laser writing and to overcome the disadvantages of the previously used writing procedures for such matrix materials, the laser-writable molding material according to the invention is characterised in that the at least one polymer material of the component A) is selected from polymer compounds having siloxane crosslinking units.

Abstract: Phosphate derivatives of a 1,3,5-triazine compound, preferably melamine polyphosphate, which are heat-resistant at the processing temperature, are selected which have an average condensation coefficient n (number average)>20, a pH-value of a 10% slurry of the polyphosphate derivative in water at 25° C. of 5 or higher, a molar ratio of 1,3,5-triazine compound to phosphorus (M/P)<1.1 and a decomposition temperature>320° C. They can be produced by heat treatment of an orthophosphate or condensed phosphate with an average condensation coefficient n (number average) below 20 in an ammonia atmosphere at a temperature in the range of 300 to 400° C. until the average condensation coefficient is above 20 and the molar ratio of 1,3,5-triazine compound to phosphorus (M/P) is below 1.1. The polyphosphates of the invention can be represented in simplified form by the following general formula: wherein M denotes a 1,3,5-triazine compound and n denotes the average condensation coefficient.

Abstract: A simple and economical process for the preparation of polyphosphates of organic bases consists of reacting a mixture of phosphorus pentoxide and at least one organic nitrogen base with at least one compound which releases water accompanied by decomposition under the prevailing conditions in such a molar ratio that upon decomposition of the water-releasing compound at most essentially 2 mol. water are produced per mol. phosphorus pentoxide. Thus-prepared polyphosphates are particularly suitable as flame-protection agents for plastics.

Abstract: A derivative of phosphoric acid ester salt or adduct or a mixture thereof is obtained from a reaction product, polycondensed with at least one aldehyde, of at least one polyol phosphoric acid ester with at least one organic nitrogen base. The derivative is advantageously used as a flame-inhibiting and/or intumescent treatment in plastic mouldings, on porous carriers or in paint or coating systems. The production of the derivative or a mixture thereof by reacting at least one polyol with phosphorus pentoxide and reacting the polyol phosphoric acid ester obtained in that way with at least one organic nitrogen base forming a phosphoric acid ester salt or adduct, is characterized in that the amount of phosphorus pentoxide required for the esterification operation is suspended in an amount of the ester or ester mixture to be produced, then at a temperature in the range of 20–180° C.
