The invention discloses a
halogen-free
phosphazene expanding-type
flame retardant and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving an acid binding agent and
neopentyl glycol in a
solvent, and carrying out heating to 20-60 DEG C under the protection of
inert gas; slowly dropwise adding a phosphonitrilic
chloride trimer solution, finishing the adding in 0.5-1 hours, carrying out heating to 40-120 DEG C, carrying out a
reflux reaction for 4-24 hours, carrying out cooling, then carrying out filtering, reduced pressure
distillation and recrystallizing, and carrying out
vacuum drying at 65-90 DEG C to obtain a white
solid which is the target product. The
flame retardant provided by the invention has an initial
decomposition temperature of 300 DEG C and has good compatibility when blended with a
polymer, and the
flame retardant is not dissolved in water and has excellent transference resistance. The flame retardant is prepared by adopting a one-
step method, the reaction raw materials are simple and easy to obtain, the process is simple, by-products are few, the synthesis efficiency is high, the
solvent can be recycled and reused after the reduced pressure
distillation, and the preparation method is easy to industrialize. The flame retardant has the characteristics that no
halogen exists in the molecular structure, no
toxic gas is generated in a
combustion process, and the flame retardant provided by the invention has a low
smoke amount, greenness and no environmental
pollution compared with a conventional flame retardant.
