Abstract
AbstractUV‐curable urethane acrylate resin and oligoester acrylate resin have been effectively flame retarded with vinyl‐type flame‐retardant monomers containing both bromine and phosphorus atoms. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that the decomposition temperature of flame‐retardant monomer is more closely matched to the decomposition temperature of cured oligoester acrylate resin than to that of cured urethane acrylate resin. The efficiency of each flame‐retardant monomer in oligoester acrylate resin is higher than in urethane acrylate resin by a factor of ∼ 2.2. The individual and the combined effects of tribromophenyl acrylate and triphenyl phosphate on the oxygen index of UV curable urethane acrylate resin have been studied. The bromine phosphorus synergistic action of the two flame‐retardant components is evaluated quantitatively, and a maximum intermolecular bromine phosphorus synergism was observed in a flame‐retarded formulation containing a Br/P atom ratio of 2. In the three acrylic monomers containing both bromine and phosphorus atoms, the optimum intramolecular bromine phosphorus synergism was observed at a monomer also containing a Br/P atom ratio of 2.
