Abstract
Abstract There are disclosed fire retardant polyblends comprising thermoplastic polymers intimately admixed with a crosslinked copolymer of a vinyl halide, preferably a crosslinked vinyl chloride copolymer. These fire retardant polyblends may be utilized in a variety of coating, impregnating and especially molding applications wherein it is desired to provide fire retardancy to the resulting end product.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A fire retardant polyblend of at least on polyester resin, formed by the condensation of a dicarboxylic acid and a dihydric alcohol, in intimate admixture with an effective flame retarding concentration of at least one crosslinked copolymer consisting of: (1) from about 50% to about 99%, be weight of the crosslinked copolymer, of at least one vinyl halide selected from the group consisting of vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide, and vinyl fluoride; (2) from about 1% to 50%, by weight of the crosslinked copolymer, of at least one polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer; and (3) from about 0% to 49%, by weight of the crosslinked copolymer, of a comonomer selected from the group consisting of the vinylidene halides, and the vinyl and allyl phosphonates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A fire retardant polyblend of at least on polyester resin, formed by the condensation of a dicarboxylic acid and a dihydric alcohol, in intimate admixture with an effective flame retarding concentration of at least one crosslinked copolymer consisting of: (1) from about 50% to about 99%, be weight of the crosslinked copolymer, of at least one vinyl halide selected from the group consisting of vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide, and vinyl fluoride; (2) from about 1% to 50%, by weight of the crosslinked copolymer, of at least one polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer; and (3) from about 0% to 49%, by weight of the crosslinked copolymer, of a comonomer selected from the group consisting of the vinylidene halides, and the vinyl and allyl phosphonates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
The polyblend of claim 1, wherein the polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer of said crosslinked copolymer is selected from the group consisting of allyl methacrylate, divinyl benzene, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, methylene-bis-acrylamide, diethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol diacrylate, divinyl ether, diallyl adipate, bis(2-vinyloxyethyl)ether, diallyl fumarate, diallyl phthalate, divinyl sulfone, divinyl carbitol, butylene dimethacrylate, trimethylene glycol diacrylate, butylene glycol diacrylate, pentamethylene glycol diacrylate, glyceryl triacrylate, octylene glycol diacrylate, trimethylene propane triacrylate, the tetraacrylate ester of pentaerythritol and ethyl diallylphosphonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The polyblend of claim 2, wherein the polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer of said crosslinked copolymer is allyl methacrylate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The polyblend of claim 1, wherein the vinyl halide of said crosslinked copolymer is vinyl chloride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The polyblend of claim 1, wherein said crosslinked vinyl halide copolymer is present in a concentration of from about 5 to 50% of the total weight of said polyblend.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The polyblend of claim 1 wherein antimony trioxide is also present to improve the fire retardancy of said polyblend.
