A New Type of Flame Retarded Epoxy Resin Based on Metal Phosphinates

摘要

Exolit OP930 (abbreviate OP930) product based on aluminum (diethyl phosphinate) is a new class of flame retardants for the use in epoxy resin (EP). In this paper, the mechanical properties, the morphologies of fracture surfaces, thermal stability, glass transition temperature (T ) and flame retardant of OP930-EP composites with different composition have been studied. The composites exhibit satisfying thermal properties and a high limiting oxygen index (LOI) value as well as good compatibility with the matrix. Compared to neat resin, the mechanical properties of composites are also on a very good level.
