Description

A HALOGEN FREE FLAME RETARDANT EPOXY RESIN COMPOSITION
The invention relates to a halogen free flame/fire retardant epoxy resin composition with excellent mechanical properties, thermal resistance, low smoke release and good processability.
The invention also refers to the process of obtaining said epoxy resin composition. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of the halogen free flame/fire retardant epoxy resin composition as adhesive.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to articles comprising halogen free flame/fire retardant epoxy resin composition and their uses as an electric or electronic circuit component or a structural element for transportation and building.
BACKGROUND ART Epoxy resins are widely-used matrix resins due to their superior thermal, chemical-resistance, electrical-resistance and mechanical properties. However, the flammability of epoxy resins greatly restricts their applications. As the awareness of fire security increased, improving the flame retardancy has been the key challenge for epoxy resins research.
Although adding halogenated flame retardants to epoxy resins matrices, such as tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), is quite effective method for improving the flame retardancy of epoxy resins with electrical and electronic applications, they produce a poisonous and corrosive smoke and may generate super-toxic halogenated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans during combustion, which is forbidden in the new environmental legislations Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH), Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
Since the implementation of environmental directives banning or limiting the use of halogenated compounds, the development of flame retardants based on epoxy resins has focused on more environmentally friendly alternatives. In recent years, a broad range of new halogen free flame retardants have been developed. Flame retardants can either be physically mixed with the base material (additive flame retardants) or chemically bonded to it (reactive flame retardants). New additive non-halogen flame retardants formulations are, for example, ammonium polyphosphate (APP), triphenyl phosphate (TPP), dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), tricresyl phosphate (TCP), cresyldiphenyl phosphate (CDP), resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP) and bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BDP), which are described in the corresponding patents US5945467, US5919844, US4918122, US5932637, US6348523, US6713163 and EP1359174. Here, the flame retardancy of epoxy resins has been improved in some extent; however, this effect sacrifices application performances such as water resistance, mechanical resistance and transparency due to the high percentage addition and the poor chemical compatibility with the polymer structure.
The main disadvantage of the additive flame retardant has been overcome by a great number of the reactive type formulations. For example, organophosphoruses compounds are commonly incorporated to epoxy resins due to its thermal and hydrolytic stability [US6353080 and US6403690]. Moreover, other phosphorus element-containing compounds are described as difunctional or trifunctional phosphine oxide crosslinkers, that is, as effective curing agents [US0065869]. Reactive flame retardants as 9, 10-Dihydro-9-oxa- 10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO) and their derivatives are also examples to mention [US4280951]. A plastics flammability standard released UL 94-VO rating of approximately 3 mm, was reached incorporating about 12 wt% DOPO in the DGEBA/DDS system [D. Sunand Y. Yao, Polymer Degradation and Stability, 96, 1720-1724 (201 1 )]. However a decrease of the Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) is also observed herein. Main disadvantages of the reactive flame retardants relate to decreases of mechanical performances, thermal resistance, and processability of the epoxy resins composition containing them. Moreover, the flame retardant efficiency is low and the combustion produces a big amount of smoke. For the reasons stated above, it is needed to develop new halogen free flame retardant epoxy resin composition with excellent thermal resistance, superior mechanical properties and low smoke release.

LOI: Limited Oxygen Index
The limiting oxygen index (LOI) is the minimum concentration of oxygen (expressed as a percentage) that will support combustion of a polymer. It was measured by passing a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen over a burning specimen, and reducing the oxygen level until a critical level was reached. LOI values for the composites were determined by standardized tests, according to the ASTM D2863 (samples of dimensions 130 * 6.5 * 3.2 mm3).
UL 94 is a plastics flammability standard released by Underwriters Laboratories of the USA. The standard classifies plastics according to how they burn in various orientations and thicknesses. From lowest (least flame-retardant) to highest (most flame-retardant), the classifications are: HB: slow burning on a horizontal specimen; burning rate < 76 mm/min for thickness < 3 mm and burning stops before 100 mm
V2 burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of flaming particles are allowed.
· V1 : burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
V0: burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
5VB: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may develop a hole.
5VA: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may not develop a hole
Cone Calorimeter Test (CCT): p-HRR: peak Heat Release Rate, THR: Total Heat Release and TSP: Total Smoke Production.
The cone calorimeter test (CCT) is the most significant bench scale instrument to study the fire behavior of small specimen of various materials, following the procedures in ISO 5660 (without the use of the "frame and grid") using an FTT cone calorimeter. Square specimens (100x100^3 mm3) were irradiated at a heat flux of 50 kW/m2. This method is able to investigate some important parameters in a fire, like heat release rate (HRR), peak of heat release rate (p- HRR), total heat release (THR), total smoke production (TSP), among others.
Tg (Glass transition temperature)
The glass-liquid transition (or glass transition for short) is the reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle state into a molten or rubber-like state. In this invention all Tg have been measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).
