Abstract  

The flame retardant of melamine-bis[tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium] sulfate (MTHPS) was synthesized via reflux reaction with tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate and melamine as raw materials and then characterized by FTIR and NMR. Beads of pre-expandable polystyrene (EPS) were coated with the MTHPS containing thermosetting phenolic resin, and then with which as raw material, the halogen-free flame retardant EPS foam was prepared via steam foaming and molding process. The effect of MTHPS-content on the flame retardancy, mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the EPS foams were assessed. It is found that the flame-retardant EPS foam with 50 phr MTHPS presents a limiting oxygen index 34.0% and a V-0 rating for vertical flammability test according to the UL 94 standard. The compressive strength and flexural strength of the flame retardant foam increase with the increasing MTHPS content.
