Abstract:
When alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal tetraborates in a water suspension are suitably treated with ammonia and sulfuric acid, sulfurdioxide or phosphoric acid, they undergo a three-step transformation resulting in a mixture of ammoniumpentaborate, the corresponding alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal salt(s): sulfate, sulfite or hydrophosphate and ammonia (Equation 1).Alternately, tetraborates undergo the same three-step reactions upon their treatment with equimolar amounts of ammoniumsulfate, ammoniumsulfite or diammoniumhydrogenphosphate, while the liberated ammonia can be boiled off with distilling water.This application deals with the discovery of highly effective, permanent flame retardant compositions which also possess excellent antismoldering, noncorrosive and fungal resistant properties when properly applied on cellulosic fibers, cellulose-lignin fiber insulation materials.
Abstract:
A mixed phenyl/mesityl phosphate ester composition that is useful as a fire retardant additive, having a phosphorus content of from about 8.2% to about 8.4% is prepared by reacting with agitation at about 120.degree. C. to 130.degree. C. distilled still bottom phenols with phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst to form a reaction product containing a substantial quantity of monoaryl phosphodichloridate and diaryl phosphochloridate. This reaction product is then further reacted at an elevated temperature with sufficient phenol to form a triaryl phosphate ester mixture. The mixed phenyl/mesityl phosphate ester so obtained remains a liquid at room temperature over a substantial period of time.
Abstract:
The fire hazard associated with the use of dibasic lead phosphite as a stabilizer for vinyl resins is reduced by mixing with the dibasic lead phosphite an additive selected from hydroxides or hydrated oxides of aluminium, magnesium or antimony, stearates of barium or calcium, dibasic lead stearate and carbonates of calcium or magnesium.
Abstract:
Heat-foamable fireproofing compositions contain thermosetting phenolic resins, thermally decomposable organic nitrogen compounds, eg. dicyandiamide, an ammonium salt and a carbohydrate or polyhydric alcohol, and on decomposition form a stiff carbonaceous foam.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel fire retardant compositions, based on the compounds 2-bromomethyl-2-hydroxy-methylpropane-1,3-diol, 2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propane-1,3-diol, 2-bromomethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dibromopropane, and mixtures thereof, the compositions having a general formula (BrCH.sub.2).sub.m C[CH.sub.2 O(CH.sub.2 O).sub.x H].sub.4-m wherein m is between 1.6 to 2.3 and x is between 0.75 to 1.10. These compositions are characterized by their particular infra-red spectra.The novel fire retardant compositions are produced by the reaction of formaldehyde or its polymeric forms with the above compounds, followed by the removal of water from the reaction system.The fire retardant compositions according to the present invention are suitable as active or additive fire retardant ingredients for various polymeric materials, such as polyurethane, polyester or epoxide resins.
Abstract:
Sodium antimonate is made to react with an acid solution so as to transform a fraction of the sodium antimonate into pentavalent antimony oxide, thus producing a mixture of pentavalent antimony oxide and sodium antimonate, the so produced mixture is separated from the solution and that mixture is dried and pulverized. The so produced powder presents good flame retardant properties.
Abstract:
A process for improving the flame-retardant properties of cellulose containing fibrous materials in the absence of halogen compounds which comprises treating said fibrous materials with an effective amount of a colloidal aqueous dispersion of an alkali metal polyantimonate containing a mole ratio of alkali metal to antimony in the dispersion of at least about 0.3:1, and drying said materials is described.

Abstract:
A fire extinguishing or fire preventing composition comprising sawdust combined with a dry coloring material which reacts with the sawdust at elevated temperature to improve the fire extinguishing properties. In one form the coloring material comprises a transition metal compound such as ferric oxide Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 which forms complexes with glucose units derived from the cellulose in sawdust. In another form the coloring material is organic, for example, an azo-compound which forms a complex with the cellulose in the sawdust, and this also improves the fire extinguishing properties.
