Abstract: The invention relates to a flame retardant composition comprising a salt of components (A) and (B), wherein (A) is at least one pyrophosphonic acid derivative of the general formula (I): where R1 and R2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted, straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted benzyl or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, and (B) is selected from the group consisting of melamine, melam, melem, melon, ammeline, ammelide, 2-ureidomelamine, substituted or unsubstituted heptazine, guanylurea, acetoguanamine, benzoguanamine and diaminophenyltriazine or two or more of these compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flame-retardant composition that comprises a synergistic flame-retardant mixture, and a method for flame-retarding a polymer by adding the flame-retardant composition. The invention further relates to polymers that contain said flame-retardant composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to thermoplastic polyamide molding materials having: (A) 10 to 99% by weight of at least one thermoplastic polyamide, (B) 1 to 40% by weight of a flame-protecting material of the formula (I), where A1 and A2 are independently, for example, a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and (C) 0 to 70% by weight of further additives. The invention further relates to processes for producing such thermoplastic polyamide molding materials, and to the use of the molding materials.

Abstract: A textile finished with a biocidally active component is provided. The textile is characterized in that the biocidally active component is contained in the textile and comprises 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and also, optionally, one or more other biocides and the biocidally active component is enclosed in microparticles composed of an aminoplast resin. The enclosure of the biocidally active component in the microparticles causes the biocidally active component to stay on the textile during the drying and curing involved in the finishing process. In addition, in practical use, the biocidally active component is only released slowly and is not washed off by exposure of the textile to rain or water. This stops a large part of the biocidally active component escaping during the finishing of the textile or being washed off the tenting, awnings, filters, tarpaulins, shower curtains and the like after just a few (rain) showers.
