Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to flame-retardant polycarbonate compositions and methods for increasing the flame-retardancy of polycarbonate compositions. An α,ω-alkoxy phenyl phenyloligosiloxane compound and an alkali metal sulfonate salt are added to the polycarbonate compositions. The addition of the α,ω-alkoxy phenyl phenyloligosiloxane compound and the alkali metal sulfonate salt produces a polycarbonate composition having a flame-retardance rating of UL 94V-0 at 2 mm thickness or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for increasing the flame retardancy of a polycarbonate composition, the method comprising adding about 0.1 wt. % to about 2.0 wt. % 1,3-dimethyltetraphenyldisiloxane to the polycarbonate composition; and adding about 0.1 wt. % to about 1.0 wt. % perfluorobutanesulfonate alkali metal salt to the polycarbonate composition; wherein the wt. %, all instances, are based on the total weight of the polycarbonate, the 1,3-dimethyltetraphenyldisiloxane, a…
