Ciminelli Deprtmento de Engenhri Metlúrgic e de Mteriis, UFMG Astrct: The present work investigtes the use of mgnesium hydroxide, produced y mgnesi hydrtion, s fire retrdnt in polymers. The hydrtion ws crried out in n utoclve, t temperture of 13 C for 1 hour, nd the product ws further sumitted to cominution in jet mill. The solids were chrcterized with regrd to their chemicl composition, prticle size distriution, surfce re nd morphology. The performnce evlution of the hydroxide s flme retrdnt for copolymer of nylon 6-6,6 ws crried out ccording to the UL94 specifictions for verticl urning tests. V- flmmility rting t 1.6 mm (6% mgnesium hydroxide-filled nylon composite) nd t 3. mm (4% mgnesium hydroxide filled nylon composite) were chieved. Mechnicl properties were mintined t the desired vlues. These results indicte tht the hydroxide otined from mgnesi hydrtion cn e successfully employed s fire retrdnt for nylon 6-6,6. Keywords: Fire retrdnt, mgnesium hydroxide, nylon 6-6,6. Introduction The use of ruer nd plstic mterils in the mnufcture of domestic nd industril products hs grown sustntilly in the lst decdes. Some pplictions of these products require the utiliztion of flme retrdnts, the hlogented (romides nd chlorides) nd phosphorous compounds eing the most widely used [1,]. Nevertheless, these compounds generte toxic nd highly corrosive fumes in fire, which mke the dmge even higher. Interest in using metl hydroxides s fire retrdnts hs grown, since these compounds do not produce fumes nd present low corrosiveness [3-5]. Metl hydroxides retrd comustion y soring het nd y cooling the sustrte through dehydrtion rection [5-7]. The metl hydroxide most commonly used s fire retrdnt is luminum hydroxide. Aluminum hydroxide hs een used s fire retrdnt in mny mterils including thermosets, elstomers nd thermoplstics. However, its low temperture of decomposition (pproximtely 18 C) limits its ppliction. Mny polymers must e processed t higher tempertures, which hinders the utiliztion of this compound. It is exctly in these cses tht the use of mgnesium hydroxide ecomes ttrctive, owing to its higher temperture of decomposition (pproximtely 33 o C). The min pplictions of mgnesium hydroxide re in polymers such s polypropylene nd nylon, which should e processed t high tempertures, nd in elstomeric cle cotings, which require high tempertures for rpid processing [8]. Mgnesium hydroxide, s well s lumin trihydrte, is commonly used t high concentrtions, such s 4% to 7%. Due to cost considertions, mgnesium hydroxide does not fully replce luminum hydroxide. Rther, it rodens the utiliztion of metl hydroxides s flme retrdnts in wy tht the dmges s well s the environmentl pollution re minimized. Mgnesium hydroxide-sed products re ville in the mrket. These re minly otined y precipittion of mgnesium hydroxide from rines Autor pr correspondênci: Sôni D. F.

2 nd se wter [3]. The production of the hydroxide for fire retrdnt filler ppliction vi hydrtion of mgnesium oxide hs een hindered y the process economics. Purity requirements for this ppliction result in the need for purifiction steps, which sustntilly increse the finl cost of the product. Direct hydrtion ecomes very interesting option where lrge deposits of pure mgnesite ( precursor of mgnesium oxide) re ville, s in Brzil [9,1 ]. Different processes led to products with different crystllite size, surfce re, prticle morphology nd chemicl composition. According to the literture [1], these properties ffect not only the fire retrdnt performnce ut lso the mechnicl properties of the finl composite. The present work is prt of n investigtion imed t estlishing the mechnism of mgnesi hydrtion nd t evluting the use of mgnesium hydroxide s fire retrdnt for polymers. The utiliztion of mgnesium hydroxide, produced y mgnesi hydrtion, s fire retrdnt for nylon 6-6,6, is evluted. The performnce of the filler otined y MgO hydrtion is compred with tht of commercil product otined y precipittion from rine. Experimentl High-grde mgnesium oxide (97%) supplied y Mgnesit S.A ws hydrted in Prr utoclve ( cm 3 ), t 13 C, during 1 hour. After drying, the solids were milled in jet mill nd were chrcterized with regrd to their chemicl composition (X-ry fluorescence in X-ry Spectrometer Phillips PW 1), prticle size distriution (Sedigrph 5ET), surfce re (BET in Quntchrome Nov 1), density (Quntchrome Stereopicnometer), presence of crystlline phses (Diffrtometer Phillips PW 1) nd morphology (Scnning Electron Microscope Jeol JSM 35C). Thermogrvimetric (TGA) nd thermodifferentil (DTA) nlyses determined the decomposition tempertures nd the dehydrtion het, respectively, in N tmosphere, t heting rte of C/min (Shimdzu 5 Thermoclorimeter). The copolymer of nylon 6-6,6, dditives (luricnt nd pigment) nd the mgnesium hydroxide were mixed t 55 C in Werner & Pfleiderer twin-screw extruder, model ZSK 3 of 3mm dimeter. The mixes were prepred ccording to the formultions shown in Tle 1. The mgnesium hydroxide produced y hydrtion Polímeros: Ciênci e Tecnologi, vol. 11, nº 3, p , 1 Tle 1.

Sheets of.6, 1.8 nd 3. mm thickness were molded t 48 o C nd t n injection pressure of 35 Br, in Bttenfeld Ferte injector. Flming tests were crried out ccording to UL94 specifictions for verticl urning test [11]. Tensile strength, elongtion t rek nd impct strength ccording to ISO/179/1d (Chrpy unnotched smple) nd ISO 18/3A (notched smple- IZOD) were determined. The mechnicl properties of the composites otined with oth mgnesium hydroxides re compred with those of polymide 6,6 filled with 4% tlc.

The predominnt crystlline phse in oth MH-H nd MH-P is Mg(OH) ; smll mounts of MgO were detected in MH-H due to the fct tht hydrtion ws not 1% complete (MH-H loss of ignition=3.%).

The results indicte V- flmmility rting t.8 nd 1.6 mm for 4% mgnesium hydroxide (MH-H) filled nylon composite, in the presence nd sence of the dditives. Better flmmility rting (V-) either t 1.6 mm (6% MH-H) nd t 3. mm (4% MH-H) ws chieved. Hornsy et l [13] otined V- flmmility rting t 3. mm for 6% mgnesium hydroxide-filled nylon 6 composite. In the present work, V- flmmility rting t 1.6 mm ws lso reched for 6% mgnesium-hydroxide-filled nylon 6-6,6 composite. Similr results were otined using the product (MH-P) produced from mgnesium hydroxide precipittion from rine. According to Hornsy et lli [13], the origin of the product my strongly influence the flmmility chrcteristics of polymide 6 nd polymide 6,6. Despite the different origins, prticle sizes nd surfce res of the fillers used in the present study, no significnt differences in flmmility rting were oserved. The finl compounds otined with oth fillers (MH-H nd MH-P) presented similr mechnicl properties (Tle 4). The properties of polymide filled with 4% tlc re lso included [14]. The impct strength (unnotched chrpy) ws higher when the oth mgnesium hydroxides (MH-H nd MH-P) ssocited with were used. Despite the fct tht high percentge of filler leds to etter flmmility clss, the mechnicl properties were ffected in deleterious mnner y n increse in the mgnesium hydroxide dosge.

5 concentrtion from 4% to 5% led to composite with lower impct strength (unnotched Chrpy) nd the elongtion t rek ws reduced in 4%, fr elow the desired vlue of 4%. The utiliztion of s luricnt led to higher elongtion t rek nd higher impct strength. However, mteril with lower tensile strength ws otined. The impct strength (Izod notched smple) ws not ltered y the presence of this dditive. A comprison etween the mechnicl properties of the finl composite nd the vlues which re specified y polymides producers for polymer contining 4% of minerl filler (tlc) [14] indictes tht formultions re still not optimized. It is importnt to mention tht it ws eyond the scope of this study to optimize the formultions, nd lso to evlute other dditives such s silnes, which could improve the flmmility rtings s well s the mechnicl properties of the finl composite. These results demonstrte the potentil ppliction of mgnesium hydroxide otined y mgnesi hydrtion s fire retrdnt for copolymer of nylon 6,6-6. Conclusions The potentil utiliztion of mgnesium hydroxide otined y mgnesi hydrtion s fire retrdnt in copolymer of polymide 6-6,6 ws demonstrted, since the flmmility rtings s well s the mechnicl properties required in mny industril pplictions were chieved. Despite the different origin, the performnce of the mteril produced y hydrtion of MgO ws similr to tht otined y commercil product through precipittion of the hydroxide from rine.
