Halogen Free Flame-Retardant Glass Fiber Reinforced PA 66 / PPO Alloys

Abstract

Halogen-free flame retardants are ideal plastic additives that meet carbon neutral requirements. In this work, halogen free flame retardant with glass fiber reinforced PA66/PPO composites were prepared by using coated red phosphorus (FRM-150B) and phosphorus-silicon flame retardant (WR6002). The mechanical properties, heat resistance, friction and wear properties and flame retardancy were carried out to evaluate the performances of composites using as structural parts that require heat resistance, dimensional stability and accuracy. It was found that the friction coefficient and wear volume of the composites were improved with the contents of glass fiber increased, as a result, PA66/PPO composites was obtained with excellent comprehensive performance when the content of compatilizer is 7%, the glass fiber was 30%, the content of FRM is 8% and the phosphorous-silicon flame retardant is 16%. The flame retardant effect of FRM-150B and WR6002 in PA66/PPO was presented in the condensed phase, the results showed that the composite material with 16% WR6002 forms a carbon layer with excellent thermal stability. On the other hand, the mechanical properties of composites were hardly affected, has important prospects in automotive components and household appliances
