1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a flame retardant, a flame retardant composition, and a molded product and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a flame retardant having good flame retardance, a flame retardant composition containing the flame retardant, and a molded product manufactured from the flame retardant composition and a manufacturing method thereof.
2. Description of Related Art
Polymers have been widely applied in different fields such as mechanical parts, office supplies, electronic devices, the auto industry, household appliances, or various circuit boards. To meet the industry's demand for hardness and other properties, the research of various parties is mainly toward mixing a polymer into a composition having a specific property, and then using the polymer in a subsequent application.
Since polymers applied in various electronic devices need to be operated under high-temperature for long periods of time, polymers need to have good flame retardance. Therefore, a flame retardant is generally added in a polymer to form a composition so as to increase the flame retardance of the polymer. In general, the flame retardant is in a specific stage (such as heating, decomposition, ignition, or spreading of flame) of a burning process. Moreover, the flame retardant can be divided into a halogenated flame retardant, a phosphorus-based flame retardant, and inorganic metal-based. However, currently, due to increased environmental awareness, various industries have been committed to the development of a halogen-free flame retardant, wherein a phosphorous-based flame retardant has received the most attention.
China Patent Publication No. 102272216 discloses a flame retardant polymer composition including a mixture of phosphinic acid salt and dihydrophospho-phenantrene (DOPO). A laminate material manufactured from the composition has excellent surface characteristics and reduced layered tendency. Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2013-96021 discloses an aromatic phosphorus-based flame retardant. When the aromatic phosphorus-based flame retardant is used in an aliphatic polyester fiber structure, the aromatic phosphorus-based flame retardant can provide flame retardance to the aliphatic polyester fiber structure. US Patent Publication No. 2007-0082987 discloses a synergistic flame retardant composition including phosphorus salt and a phosphine compound, and the synergistic flame retardant composition can provide flame retardance to a polymer. However, although many phosphorous-based flame retardants have currently been developed, when the phosphorous-based flame retardants are applied in a polymer, the issue of insufficient flame retardance is still present.
As a result, the development of a phosphorus-based flame retardant suitable to be added in a polymer is urgently needed, so as to solve the issue of insufficient flame retardance of a polymer, and thereby increase the flame retardance properties of the polymer.
The invention provides a flame retardant to be added in a polymer, thereby solving the issue of insufficient flame retardance of a polymer.

The synthesis method of the compound represented by formula (2-1) (hereinafter “flame retardant (A-1)”) is described below.
On a four-necked flask having a volume of 1000 mL, a nitrogen inlet, a stirrer, a condenser tube, and a thermometer were provided, and 300 g of triphenyl phosphite (TPP) and 30 g of sulfur were added. Next, under a nitrogen condition, the mixture was stirred and reacted for 4 hours at a temperature of 180° C. (stirring speed: 300 rpm). Then, the temperature of the reaction solution was reduced to 50° C., 300 g of benzene was added, and then the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes (at a temperature of about 50° C.). Then, the solution (organic layer) obtained from the reaction was placed in a separating funnel, and a 3% sodium hydroxide alkaline solution (aqueous layer) was added in the separating funnel. After extraction, the aqueous layer was removed. Lastly, via a distillation method under reduced pressure, 300 g of ethanol was recrystallized and then dried under 45° C. to obtain the flame retardant (A-1).
The structure of the flame retardant (A-1) was confirmed via an NMR measurement.
1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ=6.73-7.09 (m, 15H, Ar—H).
The synthesis method of the compound represented by formula (2-2) (hereinafter “flame retardant (A-2)”) is described below.
On a four-necked flask having a volume of 2000 mL, a nitrogen inlet, a stirrer, a condenser tube, and a thermometer were provided, and 1200 g of tris(nonylphenyl)phosphite (TNPP) and 55 g of sulfur were added. Next, under a nitrogen condition, the mixture was stirred and reacted for 4 hours at a temperature of 180° C. (stirring speed: 300 rpm). Next, hot filtration was performed under 120° C. to obtain the flame retardant (A-2).
The structure of the flame retardant (A-2) was confirmed via an NMR measurement.
1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ=0.9-1.0 (t, 9H, CH) 1.2-1.4 (m, 36H, CH), 1.55-1.65 (m, 6H, CH), 2.50-2.65 (t, 6H, CH), 6.5-6.95 (m, 12H, Ar—H).
Example 1 to example 11 and comparative example 1 to comparative example 4 of the flame retardant composition are described below:
95 parts by weight of an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) copolymer, 5 parts by weight of the compound shown in formula (2-1) synthesized in synthesis example 1, 0.3 parts by weight of polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE), and 10 parts by weight of antimony trioxide were placed in a biaxial extruding machine (PSM20A, made by Sinoalloy Machinery Inc.), and then kneading was performed under a melting temperature of 220° C. to 230° C. to obtain the flame retardant composition of example 1.
The flame retardant composition was manufactured into a test piece having a length of 160 mm, a width of 20 mm, and a thickness of 2 mm via an injection molding machine (YH-25, made by Yuh-Dak Machinery Co. Ltd.), wherein the conditions of the injection molding include performing injection molding under a melting temperature of 220° C. to 230° C. The test piece of example 1 was thus obtained. The obtained test piece was evaluated by the following evaluation methods, and the results thereof are as shown in Table 3.
The flame retardant composition and the test piece of each of example 2 to example 11 were prepared using the same steps as example 1, and the difference thereof is: the type of the components and the usage amount thereof were changed (as shown in Table 3), wherein the compounds corresponding to the labels in Table 3 are as shown in Table 2. Moreover, the obtained test pieces were evaluated by the following evaluation methods, and the results thereof are as shown in Table 3.
The flame retardant composition and the test piece of each of comparative example 1 to comparative example 4 were prepared using the same steps as example 1, and the difference thereof is: the type of the components and the usage amount thereof were changed (as shown in Table 3), wherein the compounds corresponding to the labels in Table 3 are as shown in Table 2. The obtained test pieces were evaluated by the following evaluation methods, and the results thereof are as shown in Table 3.
A burn test was performed on five test pieces of each of the examples and the comparative examples according to the UL 94 V-0 vertical burn test standard. The operation steps of the UL 94 V-0 vertical burn test are as follows.
First, the test piece was placed on a sample holder, and surgical cotton was placed 300 mm below the test piece. An ignited Bunsen burner set was placed below the piece to be tested, and a first ignition was performed, and then, after 10 s, the Bunsen burner set was moved. The time needed for the piece to be tested to self-extinguish after the flame was moved was measured and recorded as a first self-extinguishing time. Then, 10 s after the Bunsen burner set was moved, the ignited Bunsen burner was moved below the piece to be tested again, and a second ignition was performed. Then, after 10 s, the Bunsen burner was moved, and the time needed for the piece to be tested to self-extinguish after the flame was moved was measured again and recorded as a second self-extinguishing time. The total burn time refers to the sum of a first burn time and a second burn time measured from a burn test of five test pieces of a single sample. When the maximum self-extinguishing time of each test piece was less than 10 s, the total burn time was 50 s or less, the fire did not spread to the fixture, and the fire may fall dropwise but did not ignite the cotton, which represents that the flame retardant composition passed the UL 94 V-0 vertical burn test standard. When the maximum self-extinguishing time of each test piece was less than 30 s, the total burn time was 50 s or less, the fire did not spread to the fixture, and the fire may fall dropwise but did not ignite the cotton, which represents that the flame retardant composition passed the UL 94 V-1 vertical burn test standard.
It can be known from Table 3 that, in comparison to the flame retardant compositions containing the flame retardant (A) of the invention (example 2 to example 11), the flame retardance of the flame retardant compositions without the flame retardant (A) of the invention (comparative example 1 to comparative example 4) is poor.
Moreover, when the content of the flame retardant (A) of the flame retardant composition of the invention is less than or equal to 5 parts by weight (example 1), the flame retardance of the flame retardant composition is poor.
Based on the above, in the invention, by using the compound containing a phosphorous-sulfur bond as the flame retardant, the known issue of insufficient flame retardance of a polymer can be effectively alleviated.
Although the invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to one of the ordinary skill in the art that modifications to the described embodiments may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the attached claims not by the above detailed descriptions.
