  • 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.

It is widely use in the concrete technology as accelerating agent. Nature: Aluminium sulfate, is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3 14-18H2O CAS Number 7784-31-8 Specification: Form : Powder Appearance : White fine free flowing Powder pH value (1:10) : Min. 2.0 Solubility : Completely soluble in hot water. Al as Al2O3 : Min. 15 % Insoluble matter : Max. 0.8 % (In water) Iron content as Fe : Below 50 ppm Particle size (Retention on) 100 Mesh sieve : Max 2.0 % 200 Mesh sieve : Max 35.0 % 300 Mesh sieve : Max 95.0 % Properties: Aluminium sulfate, alternatively spelt either aluminum or sulphate, is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3. Aluminium sulfate is sometimes referred to as a type of alum. Application: Sizing paper, lakes, mordent for drying, foaming agent in fire foams for leather and clarifying agent for fat and oil. Aluminium sulfate is used in water purification and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. In water purification, it causes impurities to coagulate which are removed as the particulate settles to the bottom of the container or more easily filtered. This process is called coagulation or flocculation.When dissolved in a large amount of neutral or slightly alkaline water, aluminium sulfate produces a gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3.

  • Toxicological Profile for Antimony
    ANTIMONY AND COMPOUNDS 11 CHAPTER 2. HEALTH EFFECTS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective on the toxicology of antimony. It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations and provides conclusions, where possible, on the relevance of toxicity and toxicokinetic data to public health. When available, mechanisms of action are discussed along with the health effects data; toxicokinetic mechanistic data are discussed in Section 3.1. A glossary and list of acronyms, abbreviations, and symbols can be found at the end of this profile. To help public health professionals and others address the needs of persons living or working near hazardous waste sites, the information in this section is organized by health effect. These data are discussed in terms of route of exposure (inhalation, oral, and dermal) and three exposure periods: acute (≤14 days), intermediate (15–364 days), and chronic (≥365 days). As discussed in Appendix B, a literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies examining health effect endpoints. Figure 2-1 provides an overview of the database of studies in humans or experimental animals included in this chapter of the profile. These studies evaluate the potential health effects associated with inhalation, oral, or dermal exposure to antimony, but may not be inclusive of the entire body of literature. A systematic review of the scientific evidence of the health effects associated with exposure to antimony was also conducted; the results of this review are presented in Appendix C.
