Abstract

Abstract Self-extinguishing laminates are made by an improved process, wherein individual layers of a carrier material are impregnated with a thermosetting phenolic resin containing a flame-retardant agent and the impregnated layers are placed one above another and bonded together by compressing them at elevated temperature and under elevated pressure to give a hardened laminate. More specifically, finely pulverulent phosphorus pentanitride as a flame-retarding agent is dispersed in the plasticized or non-plasticized thermosetting phenolic resin, with or without a diluent; the phenolic resin, based on its solid matter content, and the phosphorus pentanitride being used in an approximate ratio by weight of 100:4 to 100:15; and the phenolic resin, based on its solid matter content, and the carrier being used in an approximate ratio by weight of 100:80 to 100:150.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
In a process for making a self-extinguishing synthetic resin laminate, wherein individual layers of a carrier material are impregnated with a thermosetting phenolic resin containing a flame-retardant agent and the impregnated layers are placed one above another and bonded together by compressing them at elevated temperature and under elevated pressure to give a hardened laminate, the improvement which comprises: dispersing finely pulverulent phosphorus pentanitride as a flame-retarding agent in the plasticized or non-plasticized thermosetting phenolic resin; the phenolic resin, based on its solid matter content, and the phosphorus pentanitride being used in an approximate ratio by weight of 100:4 to 100:15; and the phenolic resin, based on its solid matter content, and the carrier being used in an approximate ratio by weight of 100:80 to 100:150.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 126 words
In a process for making a self-extinguishing synthetic resin laminate, wherein individual layers of a carrier material are impregnated with a thermosetting phenolic resin containing a flame-retardant agent and the impregnated layers are placed one above another and bonded together by compressing them at elevated temperature and under elevated pressure to give a hardened laminate, the improvement which comprises: dispersing finely pulverulent phosphorus pentanitride as a flame-retarding agent in the plasticized or non-plasticized thermosetting phenolic resin; the phenolic resin, based on its solid matter content, and the phosphorus pentanitride being used in an approximate ratio by weight of 100:4 to 100:15; and the phenolic resin, based on its solid matter content, and the carrier being used in an approximate ratio by weight of 100:80 to 100:150.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the phenolic resin is a plasticized or non-plasticized thermosetting phenolic resol based on a synthetic phenol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the phenolic resin is diluted with methanol, ethanol, acetone, toluene or another solvent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the phenolic resin and phosphorus pentanitride are used in a ratio by weight of 100:6 to 100:10, based on the solid matter content of the resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 33 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the phenolic resin and carrier are used in a ratio by weight of 100:100 to 100:130, based on the solid matter content of the resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 20 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier comprises cotton cellulose paper, sodium kraft paper or cotton fabric.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 20 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier is preimpregnated with a phenolic resin free from flame-retardant agent.
