Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A transparent composition comprising polycarbonate and a mixture of flame retardants, wherein the flame retardants are aryl phosphate ester of hydroquinone and tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-s-triazine.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A transparent composition comprising polycarbonate and a mixture of flame retardants, wherein the flame retardants are: (i) aryl phosphate ester of hydroquinone of Formula I: wherein each of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is phenyl and 1.0<n≤1.1; and (ii) tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy)-s-triazine of Formula II: wherein the concentration of the mixture of flame retardants is the range of 10% to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, and the weight ratio (i):(ii) is in the range of 1:2 to 1:5. 2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the mixture of flame retardants is in the range from 11% to 15% based on the total weight of the composition. 3. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein the weight ratio (i):(ii) is in the range of 1:3 to 1:4. 4. The composition according to claim 1 , which when tested according to ASTM D1746-97, light transmission of not less than 96%, is recorded; and, when in a form of a test specimen having thickness (D) D≤0.8 mm, it meets the UL 94 V-0 test requirements. 5. A molded article comprising the composition of claim 1 . 6. A transparent composition comprising polycarbonate and a mixture of flame retardants, wherein the flame retardants are: (i) aryl phosphate ester of hydroquinone of Formula I: wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each independently is aryl or alkyl-substituted aryl, optionally interrupted with heteroatoms, and n has an average value of from about 1.0 to about 2.0; and (ii) tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-s-triazine of Formula II: wherein said composition, when tested according to ASTM D1746-97, light transmission of not less than 96%, is recorded; and, when in a form of a test specimen having thickness (D) D≤0.8 mm, it meets the UL 94 V-0 test requirements.
