✦ Synopsis


Flame retardance and smoke suppression have been studied in three systems containing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene terpolymer, decabromobiphenyl, and (a) commercial metastannic acid, (b) laboratory-prepared metastannic acid and (c) anhydrous tin(IV} oxide. Values of limiting oxygen index and smoke density have been measured for a large number of compositions in each system. They have then been fitted by fourth-order polynomials and plotted in triangular diagrams. Optimum atomic ratios for all these synergistic systems were found to be: Br/Sn = 9, a value which is much higher than would be expected from stoichiometric calculations. The systems also possess significant smoke-suppressant effectiveness.

In view of the current demand for novel, non-toxic, flame-and smoke-suppressant systems for synthetic polymers, certain inorganic tin compounds have been evaluated as fire retardants in a series of commercial brominated polyester resin formulations. The results obtained clearly show that zinc hydrox
