New advances in studies of non-halogen flame retardant ABS resin

This paper summarized the latest advances in studies of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS) modified with non-halogen flame retardants, and compared the flame retardant effectiveness of inorganic and organic phosphate, cyelophosphazene, silicon-containing compounds and reactive flame retardant copolymer. Compound flame retardant systems could make good use of the synergistic effects between different components, resulting in higher flame retardancy. Adopting inorganic nano-flame retardants could improve the mechanical properties, thermal properties and flammability of the flame retardant systems so as to acquire the composite materials with excellent comprehensive properties. Therefore, the combination of inorganic nano-flame retardants with the conventional ones is an important approach to study on the non-halogen flame retardant ABS resin.
