Abstract

Abstract Coating compositions for polymeric substrates which reduce or eliminate dripping of the substrates by forming a cohesive, intumescent, adherent char during exposure to flame. The coating compositions comprise halogenated polymers containing oxacyclobutane units, especially the polycondensation product of tetrahalobisphenol and bishaloalkyl oxetane monomers.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 145 words
A char-forming, flame-retardant polymeric composite sheet comprising a flexible polymeric substrate having adhered thereto and substantially coextensive with at least one major surface thereof the char-forming, flame retardant coating of a composition comprising (a) a condensation polymer consisting essentially of repeating units having the formula ##STR4## wherein Ar is a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic nucleus, X is halogen, y is an integer from 1 to 8, A 1 and A 2 are lower aliphatic radicals containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R is independently hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and n is an integer representing the degree of polymerization and is selected to provide said polymer with an inherent viscosity, determined with a 0.5 weight % solution in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane of at least 0.1, (b) a crosslinking agent for said polymer comprising stannic chloride-acetonitrile complex, and (c) solvent for said polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 145 words
A char-forming, flame-retardant polymeric composite sheet comprising a flexible polymeric substrate having adhered thereto and substantially coextensive with at least one major surface thereof the char-forming, flame retardant coating of a composition comprising (a) a condensation polymer consisting essentially of repeating units having the formula ##STR4## wherein Ar is a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic nucleus, X is halogen, y is an integer from 1 to 8, A 1 and A 2 are lower aliphatic radicals containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R is independently hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and n is an integer representing the degree of polymerization and is selected to provide said polymer with an inherent viscosity, determined with a 0.5 weight % solution in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane of at least 0.1, (b) a crosslinking agent for said polymer comprising stannic chloride-acetonitrile complex, and (c) solvent for said polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 61 words
A composite sheet according to claim 1 wherein said condensation polymer consists essentially of repeating units of the formula ##STR5## wherein x is chlorine or bromine, and n is an integer which represents the degree of polymerization and is selected to provide said copolymer with an inherent viscosity, determined with a 0.5 wt. % solution in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane of at least 0.1.
