Abstract:
Provided are a process for preparing a flame retardant, a flame retardant obtained by the process and use of the flame retardant in a polymer composition.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a textile article comprising a flame-retardant treated fabric including an oxidized polymer obtained from an ammonia curing of a condensate of (i) a tetrakis (hydroxyorgano) phosphonium salt; and (ii) urea or thiourea; followed by an oxidation into phosphine oxide groups of at least one part of the phosphonium groups present on the cured condensate, wherein said flame-retardant treated fabric: —is intended to be used as a stable substrate in which the formation of formaldehyde over the time is inhibited; and —contains less than 1% by weight of phosphorus present in phosphonium groups, based on the total weight of the flame-retardant treated fabric.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a composition useful as a precursor for imparting flame-retardant properties to textile articles, comprising a condensate of: (a) a tetrakis (hydroxyorgano) phosphonium sulfate THPS; (b) urea, or alternatively thiourea; (c) optionally, and preferably, an aliphatic hydroxyl-reactive compound, such an amine wherein said composition has a very low free formaldehyde content, namely of less than 0.1%.
Abstract:
The invention relates to polyfunctional polymers suitable in particular for the treatment of metal surfaces (metal finishing) and comprising: monomer units u1 bearing phosphonic acid functions; monomer units u2 bearing amine functions; and optionally monomer units u3 bearing alcohol units —OH.

Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a method of phosphorodiamidite production that comprises: (E1) preparing a purified solution of a dialkylamine in a polar solvent as follows:—the dialkylamine dissolved in a polar solvent is contacted with a quantity of phosphorus trihalide that is sufficient to react with the alcohol impurities contained in the dialkylamine but sufficiently low to leave a major part of the dialkylamine unreacted, whereby a mixture is obtained that contains the dialkylamine in the polar solvent and reaction products of the impurities with the phosphorous trihalide;—the unreacted dialkylamine and polar solvent present in the mixture obtained in step (E1.1.) are extracted from the solution S by their difference of volatility, typically by distillation, whereby the purified solution of the dialkylamine in the polar solvent is obtained; (E2) the purified solution of dialkylamine in a polar solvent as obtained in step (E1) is reacted with a phosphorus trihalide, whereby an intermediate compound is formed; (E3) the intermediate compound obtained in step (E2) is reacted with a hydroxyalkyl compound in the presence of a non-polar co-solvent.
