Inventors: Godfried, Leo M.;
Assignee: Fokker-V.F.W. B.V. (Schiphol-Oost, NL)
Primary Examiner: Tillman; Murray

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Snyder, Brown & Ramik
Glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resins are rendered fire-protecting by incorporating in their moulding compositions a combination of three materials: a source of carbon, such as e.g. pentaerythritol, a source of phosphoric acid, such as e.g. a water-insoluble nitrogen-containing polymer phosphate, and a source of non-inflammable gases such as e.g. melamine. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION What I claim is: 1.
A fire-protecting epoxy resin, essentially comprising a cured product of an epoxy resin made from a polyfunctional halohydrin and a polyhydric phenol and cured with a curing agent selected from the group consisting of polyamines and carboxylic anhydrides, said cured epoxy resin having a source of carbon, a source of phosphoric acid and a source of non-inflammable gases incorporated therein throughout its mass, said source of carbon having a high temperature of decomposition and containing many radicals capable of entering into an esterifying reaction with phosphoric acid, said carbon source being polyvalent alcohol, said source of phosphoric acid being a phosphate compound having a selected decomposition temperature lower than that of said source of carbon to generate phosphoric acid whereby said esterifying reaction may take place at said selected temperature and being selected from the group consisting of ammonium orthophosphate, melamine phosphate, polyphosphoryl phosphate, and water-insoluble ammonium polyphosphate with a phosphate content of about 90%, and said source of non-inflammable gases being a compound which does not take part in the curing of the epoxy resin but remains in free state therein and provides non-inflammable gases at temperatures above said selected temperature and said source of non-inflammable gases being selected from the group consisting of dicyanodiamide, urea, melamine, guanidine and a combination thereof with chlorinated paraffin, and said fire-protecting epoxy resin further comprising a glass fiber reinforcement.
2.
The fire-protecting epoxy resin as claimed in claim 1, wherein said curing agent is a carboxylic anhydride.
3.
The fire-protecting epoxy resin as claimed in claim 1, wherein said source of carbon is selected from the group consisting of mono-pentaerythritol, di-pentaerythritol, tri-pentaerythritol, and mixtures thereof.
Description:
This invention relates to epoxy resin moulding compositions and to epoxy resins and more particularly to such resins and compositions that have been rendered fire-protecting in a high degree
