Abstract
A comparative study of the fire-retardant efficiency of three commercial ar yl phosphates-triphenyl phosphate (TPP), resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP) and bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BDP)-in PC/ABS blends was c arried out. The thermal and hydrolytic stability of the fire-retardant resi ns, as well as their physical properties, was also studied. The use of RDP and BDP is preferred over TPP because of superior properties, whereas BDP s hows better fire-retardant efficiency, hydrolytic stability, and thermal st ability than RDP.
