Patent number: 5276077Abstract: According to the present invention there are obtained improved ignition resistant carbonate polymer blends having unexpectedly better combinations of toughness, ignition resistance, processability and stability. In particular the blend comprises a major amount of carbonate polymer, a minor amount of a rubber-modified monovinylidene aromatic copolymer, and an optional rubbery core/shell graft copolymer impact modifier. As ignition resistance additives the blends contain a metal salt of an aromatic sulfur compound, a buffering aromatic sulfur compound, an organophosphorus compound, and a tetrafluoroethylene polymer.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1992Date of Patent: January 4, 1994Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Lisa M. Schwane, M. Robert Christy, Samuel A. Ogoe

Patent number: 5041479Abstract: A process for dispersing one or more powdered ignition resistant or flame retardant additives into carbonate polymers which comprises the steps of preparing a base concentrate having about 5 to about 50 weight per cent of said additives by blending said additives with a carbonate polymer having a melt flow rate from about 3 to about 20, pelletizing said base concentrate having said ignition resistant additive dispersed therein, dry blending said concentrate pellets with carbonate pellets having a melt flow rate from about 1 to about 80 whereby said polymer/concentrate blend has an amount of said additive dispersed therein effective to render said blend ignition resistant, and pelletizing or molding said carbonate polymer/concentrate blend. The use of this method gives ignition resistant carbonate polymers with improved impact properties as measured by Izod impact tests.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1989Date of Patent: August 20, 1991Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventor: Samuel A.
