An Efficiently Brominated Flame Retardant Composed of Decabromodiphenyl Oxide and Antimonous Oxide for Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene

Abstract:

An efficiently brominated flame retardant which composed of decabromodiphenyl oxide (DB) and antimonous oxide (AO) was used to flame retardant for long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (LGFPP). In order to investigate the thermal stability, flame retardancy and mechanical property of DB-AO/LGFPP composites used by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning (UL-94) and mechanical property tests. The results showed that brominated flame retardant improved flame retardancy of LGFPP efficiently can be proved by TGA, and had less affected on mechanical properties.
