Fermi 1, Portici 80055, ITALY 3 Material Science and Chemical Engineering Dept., Polytechnic of Turin in Alessandria, Via Teresa Michel 5, 15100 Alessandria, ITALY *[email protected] SUMMARY Flame retardancy of mono-component epoxy resin, used for aerospace composites, treated with zinc borate (ZB), aluminum trihydrate (ATH) and their mixtures at different percentages have been investigated by morphological and thermal characterization. Cone calorimeter data reveal that peak HRR decreases when synergistic effects between additives occur. Keywords: Epoxy Resin; Fire retardancy; Zinc borate; Aluminum trihydrate; Cone calorimeter INTRODUCTION Zinc borate is an effective inorganic flame retardant and it possesses characteristic properties of flame retardancy (FR), smoke suppression, promoting charring, etc.[1-2] particularly important according to new fire standards. Zinc borate is commonly used as multifunctional flame retardant in combination with other halogenated or halogen-free flame retardant systems to boost FR properties [3-4]. Its efficacy depends upon the type of halogen source (aliphatic versus aromatic) and the used polymer root. The zinc borate can generally display synergistic effects with antimony oxide in fire retardancy. In the presence of aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) or magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), this synergy can be augmented significantly [5].

Depart. 19030 Çorum, Turkey Received:30/01/2014 Revised: 01/04/2014 Accepted:17/04/2014 ABSTRACT Durability of materials against flame and stability at high temperatures are very important in order to increase the field of use. Non-flammability is not the only requirement; these materials should not have toxic gas products during the burning, also. Anhydrous zinc borate was chosen as flame retardant due to its advantages, such as; light weight, high melting point, low thermal expansion, and intrinsic smoke suppression and corrosion resistance properties. For the synthesis, metallic zinc and anhydrous boron oxide powders were mixed in the attritor working at 600 rpm. Powder product was sintered under atmospheric conditions according to the phase change temperature that was determined by TGA-DSC analyses. Synthesized zinc borate was grinned up to nanometer size by Spex type grinder. Zinc borate was introduced in binder to decrease the flammability. The properties of the produced materials were determined and compared by LOI, TGA-DSC, SEM and oven according to the zinc borate ingredients. Key Words : Zinc borate, Pigment, Flame retardant, Flame resistant dye 1. INTRODUCTION Dyes are widespread used in our lives as a coating many cases, alumina, magnesium hydroxide, antimony material to resist corrosion [1].

4. Inorganic Flame Retardants. Plastics Can Be Given Flame Retardant Characteristics by Introducing Elements of Organic, Inorganic and Halogen Origin
4. Inorganic Flame Retardants. Plastics can be given flame retardant characteristics by introducing elements of organic, inorganic and halogen origin. Such elements include magnesium, aluminium, phosphorous, molybdenum, antimony, tin, chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are added in either the manufacturing step of the polymer or the compounding step of the polymeric article. Phosphorous bromine and chlorine are usually included as some organic compound. Inorganic flame retardants are usually added together with other flame retardants to provide a more efficient flame retardant action through synergism. Halogen flame retardants usually need an addition of about 40% in order to be effective, and this affects the properties of the polymer quite negatively. Structural integrity of the polymer article is often very important, and a drastic decrease in strength and other mechanical properties is simply not acceptable. The efficiency of halogen flame retardants is often enhanced by the addition of inorganic flame retardants. A smaller mass percentage halogen flame retardant is now needed, so the adverse effect on the polymer properties is also reduced (Touval, 1993) . 4.1 Antimony Compounds The antimony compounds used for flame retardancy include antimony trioxide, antimony pentoxide and antimony-metal compounds. In 1990 in the United States alone, the use of antimony trioxide amounted to 20 000 metric tons just for the flame retardancy of plastics. Antimony oxide is readily found in nature but in very impure form. This is not suitable for 29 direct use as flame retardant, so antimony oxide is often rather produced from antimony metal. There are therefore many different grades of antimony oxide that can be used for flame retardants.

Hydrated Zinc Borates and Their Industrial Use
Review Hydrated Zinc Borates and Their Industrial Use David M. Schubert AvidChem LLC, Lone Tree, CO, 80124 USA; [email protected] Received: 17 June 2019; Accepted: 26 June 2019; Published: 30 June 2019 Abstract: Zinc borates are important chemical products having industrial applications as functional additives in polymers, bio-composites, paints and ceramics. Of the thirteen well documented hydrated binary zinc borates, Zn[B3O4(OH)3] (2ZnO∙3B2O3∙3H2O) is manufactured in the largest quantity and is known as an article of commerce as 2ZnO∙3B2O3∙3.5H2O. Other hydrated zinc borates in commercial use include 4ZnO∙B2O3∙H2O, 3ZnO∙3B2O3∙5H2O and 2ZnO∙3B2O3∙7H2O. The history, chemistry, and applications of these and other hydrated zinc borate phases are briefly reviewed, and outstanding problems in the field are highlighted. Keywords: borate; zinc; polymer additive; fire retardant; bio-composite 1. Introduction Zinc borates rank in the top ten boron-containing industrial chemicals in terms of global production and use [1]. Tens of thousands of tons of zinc borates are used annually in various applications utilizing their special properties. The family of binary zinc borates of general composition aZnO∙bB2O3∙cH2O, where c is >0, contains at least thirteen unique crystalline compounds; the most important these is 2ZnO∙3B2O3∙3H2O, or Zn[B3O4(OH)3], which is usually referred to in commerce as 2ZnO∙3B2O3∙3.5H2O, owing to an early error in characterization. Major applications of zinc borates include lending durability to bio-composite building materials and improving fire performance and electrical properties of polymers. Zinc borates also serve as corrosion inhibitors, fire retardants and preservatives in coatings, fluxes in ceramic bodies and glazes, hosts for scintillation compounds, and ingredients in agricultural micronutrients.

FLAME RETARDANTS in PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS Chapter 3
FLAME RETARDANTS IN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS Chapter 3 FINAL REPORT August 2015 EPA Publication 744-R-15-001 3 Chemical Flame Retardants for FR-4 Laminates This chapter summarizes the general characteristics of flame retardants and associated mechanisms of flame retardancy. The flame-retardant chemicals currently used in printed circuit boards (PCBs) are also briefly introduced, with more detailed information about their potential exposure pathways, toxicity, and life-cycle considerations presented in later chapters. 3.1 General Characteristics of Flame-Retardant Chemicals Fire occurs in three stages: (a) thermal decomposition, where the solid, or condensed phase, breaks down into gaseous decomposition products as a result of heat, (b) combustion chain reactions in the gas phase, where thermal decomposition products react with an oxidant (usually air) and generate more combustion products, which can then propagate the fire and release heat, and (c) transfer of the heat generated from the combustion process back to the condensed phase to continue the thermal decomposition process (Hirschler, 1992; Beyler and Hirschler, 2002). In general, flame retardants decrease the likelihood of a fire occurring and/or decrease the undesirable consequences of a fire (Lyons, 1970; Cullis and Hirschler, 1981). The simplest way, in theory, of preventing polymer combustion is to design the polymer so that it is thermally very stable. Thermally stable polymers are less likely to thermally degrade, which prevents combustion from initiating. However, thermally stable polymers are not typically used due to cost and/or other performance issues such as mechanical and electrical properties incompatible with end-use needs for the finished part/item.

Minimum smoke emission requires that no Adding 5-10 phr Zinc Borate helps either system. One half as much antimony can be used if Zinc weight, solid Akrochlor R-70 resin can be used at 25-30 phr in EPDM. Make sure R-70 is melted It also provides filler that helps prevent “drips” and sticky rubber forming if the compound burns or fire retardant (fr) systems and halogens or antimony oxide be used. Ideally, other burnable materials like black and petroleum Borate is present. Use of a bromine halogen donor in place of the chlorine donor allows less FR during mixing (220°F minimum). Mill-mixing R-70 sometimes results in molding flaws and melts. Drips are typically more of a plastic concern than rubber. oils are minimized. Besides providing less burnable material, non-black fillers tend to reduce smoke material to be used. The Br radical reacts 2300 times faster and is more efficient than Cl but the poorer flame resistance. In general, good dispersion of the flame retarders is essential. Imagine Smoke and Flame Resistance: techniques generation vs. carbon black. Use of halogens creates an acidic smoke that in a closed space (train Cl is usually less expensive overall. Br is used mostly in plastics where they take advantage of the two identical compounds, one with finely dispersed ingredients; the other with poor dispersion: car, mines, underground subway, and tunnels) can be deadly.
