Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A flame retardant agent solution compatible with a formaldehyde resin solution and consisting essentially of: (a) 30 to 75 weight percent of a phosphoric acid containing condensation product obtained by condensation under basic conditions with heating in the presence of a saturated straight chain monohydric alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms of guanidine and formaldehyde in which the molar ratio A of phosphoric acid to guanidine is between 0.7:1 and 1.5:1 and the molar ration B of formaldehyde to guanidine is between 1.0:1 and 4.0:1 and in which additionally the product of the two molar ratios A and B is from 1.0 to 6.0, and (b) 70 to 25 weight percent of a saturated, straight chain monohydric alcohol having 1 to 3 carbons atoms or a mixture of such an alcohol and up to 25 weight percent, based on the weight of component (b) of water.
