Definitions
- This invention relates to flame resistant polyolefin compositions. More particularly, this invention relates to flame resistant polyolefin compositions that resist blooming, and to methods for improving the bloom resistance of flame resistant polyolefins.
- the UL (Underwriters Laboratory) 94 test is commonly used to measure the flame retardancy of a polymer.
- a test specimen of polymer (either 5" x 1/8" or 5" x 1/16") is exposed vertically to the flame from a Bunsen burner for 10 seconds. The specimen is ignited at the bottom and burns up. If the specimen self-extinguishes within 30 seconds, a second 20 second application of the flame is made. Flaming droplets are allowed to fall on dry absorbent surgical cotton located 12 inches below the sample. If the average burn time is less than 5 seconds and the drips do not ignite the cotton, the polymer is classified as V-0 in the UL94 test.
- the polymer is classified as V-l. If the sample is self- extinguishing but the cotton is ignited, the material is classified as V-2.
- Polyolefins such as polypropylene and copolymers of propylene and ethylene are useful in a variety of applications. In many of these applications it is preferred or mandatory to incorporate an additive into the polyolefin to improve its flame resistance or retardance. Although addition of flame retardants improves the flame retardant properties of polyolefins, the addition of the flame retardant, particularly in amounts necessary to provide a V-0 rated composition in the UL94 test, detracts significantly from the physical properties of the polyolefin. Thus, the use of flame retardants is usually a compromise between the desire for a particular degree of flame retardancy and the need to detract as little as possible from the desirable properties of the polyolefin.
- a V-0 rated polypropylene can be produced by incorporating flame retardants, these additives bloom from the polymer. Blooming, or plating out, is the separation of the additive from the polyolefin matrix as evidenced by a surface film on a molded specimen of polyolefin that contains the additive. Blooming may occur during cooling of the article in the mold, or may be induced via heat aging at elevated temperatures and/or extended times. The blooming problem is particularly pronounced and difficult to overcome at relatively high heat aging temperatures, that is at heat aging temperatures above approximately 70°C.
- Blooming is believed to be due to the fact that the additive is more polar than the polymer to which it has been added. Thus, blooming is a function of both the additive and the polymer to which it is added. Blooming of polar additives is an especially severe problem in polypropylene, a highly non-polar polymer.
- Blooming of the flame retardant not only mars the appearance of the final product but may also reduce the flame resistant properties of the polymer over time due to loss of the flame retardant.
- Many electrical applications for flame retardant polymers require RTI (Relative Thermal Index) ratings that involve 18 months heat aging without a loss of physical properties and flame retardant performance. If the additive blooms from the polymer, the polymer can not achieve the required RTI rating.

- the amount of elastomer used should be sufficient to yield an improvement in the bloom resistance of the polymer. Typically, such amounts are about 2 to 5 parts by weight of the elastomer per 100 parts by weight of polyolefin. However, up to about 20 parts by weight of elastomer, preferably up to 15 parts by weight of elastomer, may be added to reduce blooming under severe conditions, such as heating at 100°C for seven days.
- any particular elastomer may vary depending upon the polyolefin and flame retardant or retardants selected.
