...atives. Surprisingly, it was then found that certain nitroxyl ethers (NOR-HALS) work synergistically to improve flame retardancy and can be effective, even on their own, without another flame retardant. Ciba Specialty Chemicals Ltd. developed Ciba Flamestab NOR 116 (Fig.2), a very effective, multifunctional flame retardant for polypropylene fibres and films (Fig.3), which – because of its chemical structure – also helps impart light stability and long-term heat resistance [15]. The activity of N...

...00 and 800 are organic nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, while TL 1260, which is just being introduced to the market, is a pure phosphorus-based substance. They are effective alone or synergistically with sterically hindered amines such as Flamestab NOR 116 (BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany) or Hostavin NOW (Clariant International Ltd., Muttenz, Switzerland). In LDPE films, Class B2 according to DIN 4102 or Euroclass E is achieved with 4 to 8 % PCO 700 or 6 to 8 % PCO 800. When these products are us...

...pyrophosphoric acid salt available under the name Zuran 808.3 (Chitec Technologies, supplied by Raimund Müller GmbH & Co KG, Prisdorf, Germany).In 1999, Ciba Specialty Chemicals (now BASF SE) introduced a revolutionary flame retardant known as Flamestab NOR 116 (Fig. 5) for polypropylene and polyolefins in the form of films and fibers [15]. Its effect is based on very rapid polymer degradation in a fire, as a result of which the polymer retreats from the flame. As a compound based on sterically ...
