Preparation and characteristics of two-component polyurethane flame retardant coatings using 2,3-dibromo modified polyesters

Abstract

SYNOPSISTwo-component polyurethane flame retardant coatings were prepared by blending 2,3dibromo modified polyesters (2,3-DBPOs) and polyisocyanate. 2,3-DBPOs were synthesized by polycondensation of 2,3-dibromopropanoic acid, a flame retardant aliphatic carboxylic acid, with 1,4-butanediol, trimethylolpropane, and adipic acid. The content of 2,3-dibromopropanoic acid was varied a t 10, 20, and 30 wt % for the polycondensation reaction. Various physical properties of these new flame retardant coatings were comparable to nonflame-retardant coatings. They showed desirable properties for a flame retardant coating such as rapid drying and 9-12 h of pot life. Coatings with 30 wt % 2,3-dibromopropanoic acid did not burn using the vertical burning test. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Improvement in flame retardancy of polyurethane dispersions by newer reactive flame retardant

“…Park et al synthesized two pack polyurethane systems using halogen and phosphorus modified polyesters. Both, halogen and phosphorus containing PU exhibited excellent thermal stability and improved flame retardant properties [19][20][21]. The regular push for developing more environment friendly and low VOC coatings has forced researchers to switch to UV curable and water based coatings.…”

Effects of organically modified nanoclay particles on the mechanical properties of aliphatic polyurethane/clay nanocomposite coatings

“…Polyurethane‐based coatings are widely used in different industries due to their appropriate properties . These coatings have been utilized as topcoats and one‐coat finishes because of their good resistance to weathering, chemicals, and yellowing .…”

Preparation of Flame-Retardant Polyurethane and Its Applications in the Leather Industry

“…In addition, Park et al synthesized polyester diols with chlorine and bromine side chains, respectively. The results demonstrated that the prepared flame-retardant PU failed to ignite in vertical combustion tests and passed the UL-94 V-0 test [ 50 , 51 ]. Although halogenated flame retardants can provide PU with high flame-retardant efficiency and are inexpensive, halogenated flame retardants emit large amounts of smoke when burned and produce corrosive and toxic gases such as hydrogen halides, dioxins, and furans.…”
