FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a non-halogen flameproof resin composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Generally, styrenic resins have good processability and mechanical properties, and thus have been used in the production of exterior parts for many electronic goods. However, styrenic resins can combust and are not fire resistant. Thus, styrenic resins can ignite and spread fire from an external ignition source. Accordingly, styrenic resins are subject to various mandatory controls on flammability for safety reasons in many countries, including the United States, Japan, and Europe, and are required to have high flame retardancy to meet the Underwriter's Laboratories Standard for use in the housing of electric appliances.
One well known and widely used method for imparting flame retardancy is to add halogen-containing flame retardants and antimony compounds to rubber-reinforced styrenic resin. Such halogen-containing compounds include polybromodiphenyl ether, tetrabromobisphenol A, bromine-substituted epoxy compounds, chlorinated polyethylene and the like. Antimony trioxide and antimony pentoxide are mainly used as the antimony compounds.
Imparting flame retardancy by using halogen and antimony compounds together has the advantages of ease in obtaining flame retardancy and little deterioration of physical properties. However, hydrogen halide produced during processing can have a harmful effect on health. In particular, the main halogen-containing flame retardant, polybromodiphenyl ether, can produce very toxic gas such as dioxin or furan. Hence, efforts have focused on the development of methods for imparting flame retardancy without using a halogen-containing compound.
Because rubber-modified styrenic resin generally has little remaining char during combustion, it is hard to impart flame retardancy to it in its solid state (Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1998, vol. 68, p. 1067). Therefore, adding a char forming agent to a rubber-modified styrenic resin can promote desirable flame retardancy.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,520,152 discloses flame retardant compositions including polyphenylene ether resin, a styrene resin and a cyclic phosphonate. However, it has a disadvantage in that it is necessary to use 20 wt % or more of polyphenylene ether.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-199721 discloses a flame-retardant propylene resin composition including a propylene resin, a nitrogenous thermoplastic resin, phosphorus nitrogen flame retardant, and modified polypropylene. However, it fails to disclose a flame retardant method for a styrenic resin or styrenic resin-based blend.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present inventors have developed a non-halogen flameproof resin composition that can have improved flame retardancy and impact strength and as well as stability against fire by adding cyclic t-butyl phosphonate as a flame retardant to a base resin comprising an aromatic vinyl resin and polyphenylene ether.
The present invention thus can provide a non-halogen flameproof resin composition having stability against fire. The non-halogen flameproof resin composition of the invention can also be environmentally friendly and can minimize and/or eliminate generation of toxic pollutants during the preparation or combustion of the resin because it does not include halogen atoms. In addition, the flame retardant resin composition can have good moldability because it can include a reduced amount of polyphenylene ether in the resin composition. Further, the flame retardant resin composition can have good impact strength.
The non-halogen flameproof resin composition of the present invention includes a base resin including (A) about 80 to about 99% by weight of an aromatic vinyl resin, and (B) about 1 to about 20% by weight of a polyphenylene ether resin; and (C) about 0.5 to about 30 parts by weight of a cyclic t-butyl phosphonate compound, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin comprising (A) and (B).
In an embodiment of the present invention, the aromatic vinyl resin may be a polymer comprising a rubber and an aromatic monoalkenyl monomer.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the aromatic vinyl resin may be a polymer comprising a rubber, an aromatic monoalkenyl monomer and one or more monomers copolymerizable with the aromatic monoalkenyl monomer. The copolymerizable monomer(s) may be alkyl ester monomers, unsaturated nitrile monomers or mixtures thereof.
In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the polyphenylene ether resin (B) may be poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether.
In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the cyclic t-butyl phosphonate compound (C) can be represented by the following chemical formula 1.




wherein each R1 and R2 is independently hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl.
In the present invention, the flame retardant resin composition may further include (D) an aromatic phosphoric ester compound.
Additionally, the flame retardant resin composition of the present invention may further include one or more other additives such as plasticizers, lubricants, heat stabilizers, anti-dripping agents, antioxidants, compatibilizers, light-stabilizers, pigments, dyes, inorganic fillers and the like. Those additives may be used alone or in combination with one another.
A more detailed description of each of the components of the resin composition according to various embodiments follows.

In the present invention, the rubber may be used in an amount of about 3 to about 30 wt %, for example about 5 to about 15 wt %, based on about 100 wt % of the aromatic vinyl resin (A). In some embodiments, the rubber may be used in an amount of about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 wt %, based on about 100 wt % of the aromatic vinyl resin (A).
In exemplary embodiments, the rubber can have a particle size of about 0.1 to about 4.0 μm in order to render optimum properties in the blend of the aromatic vinyl resin (A) and the polyphenylene ether (B).
The aromatic monoalkenyl monomer may be a styrenic monomer. Exemplary styrenic monomers may include without limitation styrene, α-methyl styrene, o-, m- or p-methyl styrene, ethyl styrene, isobutyl styrene, tert-butyl styrene and the like, and mixtures thereof. In exemplary embodiments, styrene is used. The aromatic monoalkenyl monomer can be co-polymerized with rubber in an amount of about 70 to about 97 wt %, for example about 85 to about 95 wt %, based on about 100 wt % of the aromatic vinyl resin (A). In some embodiments, the aromatic monoalkenyl monomer can be co-polymerized with rubber in an amount of about 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, or 97 wt %, based on about 100 wt % of the aromatic vinyl resin (A).
In exemplary embodiments, other monomers copolymerizable with the aromatic monoalkenyl monomers may also be employed. Exemplary monomers which may be copolymerized with the aromatic monoalkenyl monomers may include without limitation alkyl ester monomers, unsaturated nitrile monomers, and the like, and mixtures thereof. In exemplary embodiments, monomers such as acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic anhydride, N-substituted maleimide and the like can be added to the aromatic vinyl resin in order to impart physical properties such as chemical resistance, processability and thermal resistance. The monomer copolymerizable with the aromatic monoalkenyl monomer may be used in an amount of about 40 wt % or less, based on about 100 wt % of the aromatic vinyl resin (A). In some embodiments, the monomer copolymerizable with the aromatic monoalkenyl monomer may not be present (0 amount) or may be used in an amount greater than and/or about 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, or 40 wt %, based on about 100 wt % of the aromatic vinyl resin (A).
The aromatic vinyl resin (A) can be prepared by methods such as bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization or combinations thereof. Among them, bulk polymerization may be used.
The aromatic vinyl resin (A) can be polymerized by thermal polymerization with or without using initiators. Exemplary initiators may include without limitation peroxide initiators such as benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide, acetyl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide and the like; azo initiators such as azobisisobutyronitrile; and the like, and mixtures thereof.
In the present invention, the base resin including (A) and (B) can include the aromatic vinyl resin (A) in an amount of about 80 to about 99% by weight, for example about 80 to about 90% by weight. In some embodiments, the base resin may include about 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% by weight of aromatic vinyl resin (A).
(B) Polyphenylene Ether
Since the resin including only the rubber-reinforced styrenic resin (A) does not have sufficient flame retardancy and thermal resistance, the present invention includes polyphenylene ether (B) in the base resin.
Examples of suitable polyphenylene ether resins can include without limitation poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, poly(2,6-diethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, poly(2,6-dipropyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, poly(2-methyl-6-ethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, poly(2-methyl-6-propyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, poly(2-ethyl-6-propyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, poly(2,6-diphenyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, copolymer of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether and poly(2,3,6-trimethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, and copolymer of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether and poly(2,3,5-triethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether, and the like, and mixtures thereof. Among these, poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)ether is most preferable.
The degree of polymerization of the polyphenylene ether (B) is not limited specifically, but can vary depending on factors such as heat-stability or processability of the resin composition. The intrinsic viscosity of the polyphenylene ether can be in the range of about 0.2 to about 0.8 measured in chloroform solvent at 25° C.
The base resin including (A) and (B) can include polyphenylene ether (B) in an amount of about 1 to about 20% by weight, for example about 10 to about 20% by weight. In some embodiments, the base resin may include about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20% by weight of the polyphenylene ether (B). Using less than about 1% by weight can deteriorate flame retardancy, while using more than about 20% by weight may degrade moldability.
(C) Cyclic t-butyl Phosphonate
The cyclic t-butyl phosphonate compounds of the present invention are cyclic t-butyl phosphonate compounds represented by the chemical formula 1 or mixtures thereof.




wherein R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl.
The cyclic t-butyl phosphonate may be prepared by reflux reacting t-butyl phosphonic dichloride with a diol-based compound in the presence of a base. In an exemplary embodiment, one equivalent of the t-butyl phosphonic dichloride is applied to one equivalent of the diol-based compound and refluxed at about 80° C. to about 200° C., for example about 100° C. to about 150° C., for about 5 to about 20 hours, for example for about 7 to about 15 hours, in the presence of base and solvent. The base may be triethylamine and the solvent may be a conventional organic solvent such as toluene.
The cyclic t-butyl phosphonate can be used in an amount of about 0.5 to about 30 parts by weight, for example about 5 to about 25 parts by weight, and as another example about 10 to about 25 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin including resins (A) and (B). In some embodiments, the cyclic t-butyl phosphonate may be used in an amount of about 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin including resin s (A) and (B). When the cyclic t-butyl phosphonate is used in an amount less than about 0.5 parts by weight, desired flame retardancy may not be achieved, and when used in an amount more than about 30 parts by weight, the mechanical properties may decrease.
(D) Aromatic Phosphoric Ester Compound
The flame retardant resin composition of the present invention may optionally include aromatic phosphoric ester compounds. The aromatic phosphoric ester compounds can be represented by the following chemical formula 2.




wherein R3, R4, and R5 are each independently hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl, X is C6-C20 aryl or C1-C4 alkyl-substituted C6-C20 aryl, and n is about 0 to about 4.
In the above formula, X can be a derivative of a dialcohol such as resorcinol, hydroquinol, bisphenol-A and the like. Where n is 0, compounds represented by chemical formula 2 include triphenyl phosphate, tri(2,6-dimethyl)phosphate, and the like, and where n is 1, compounds represented by chemical formula 2 include resorcinol bis(diphenyl)phosphate, resorcinol bis(2,6-dimethyl phenyl)phosphate, resorcinol bis(2,4-ditertiary butyl phenyl)phosphate, hydroquinol bis(2,6-dimethyl phenyl)phosphate, hydroquinol bis(2,4-ditertiary butyl phenyl)phosphate, and the like. The aromatic phosphoric ester compound (D) can be used alone or in combination with one another.
The aromatic phosphoric ester compound (D) can be used in an amount of about 30 parts by weight or less, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin including resins (A) and (B). In some embodiments, the aromatic phosphoric ester compound (D) may not be present (0 amount) or may be used in an amount greater than and/or about 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin including resins (A) and (B). If the aromatic phosphoric ester compound is used in an amount more than about 30 parts by weight, the mechanical properties may decrease.
The resin composition according to the present invention may further include other additives depending on its use. Examples of such additives may include without limitation plasticizers, lubricants, heat stabilizers, anti-dripping agents, antioxidants, compatibilizers, light-stabilizers, pigments, dyes, inorganic fillers and the like. The additives can be used alone or in combination with one another. Examples of the inorganic fillers may include asbestos, glass fibers, talc, ceramic, sulfates, and the like, and combinations thereof. The additives can be added in an amount of about 30 parts by weight or less, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin including (A) and (B). In some embodiments, the additives may not be present (0 amount) or may be used in an amount greater than and/or about 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin including resins (A) and (B).
The flame retardant resin composition according to the present invention can be prepared by a conventional process. For example, all the components and additives can be mixed together and extruded through an extruder and can be prepared in the form of pellets. The pellets can be molded by a conventional method to form housings of electric/electronic goods such as televisions, washing machines, telephones, audio systems, video players, CD players and the like, and inner/outer parts of office automation equipment.
