ONE-COMPONENT COATING BINDERS BASED ON SELF-CROSSLINKING LATEX: EFFECT OF COVALENTLY LINKED FLAME RETARDANTS AND ALTERNATIVE CROSSLINKING AGENTS ON COATING PROPERTIES

Abstract

In this contribution the synthesis of a novel flame retardant based on halogenophosphazene derivative and its application in waterborne coatings based on self-crosslinking latexes were investigated. Latexes of functionalized core-shell particles bearing in the structure a covalently linked hexachloro-cyclo-triphosphazene were prepared by the semi-continuous non-seeded emulsion polymerization. The incorporation hexaallylamino-cyclo-triphosphazene did not affect transparency, flexibility, toughness and adhesive properties of resulting coatings. Moreover, the presence of the novel flame retardant increased the flame stability of coatings.
