The invention relates to a method for producing
flame-resistant, non-corrosive and stable
polyamide moulding compounds. The aim of the invention is to use a mixture of several components as non-corrosive
flame retardants. Said mixture comprises, as component A) 20 - 98 wt.% of a dialkylphosphinic
acid salt of formula (I) (as shown in the description) and / or a diphosphinic
acid salt of formula (II) (as shown in the description) and / or polymers thereof, wherein R1, R2 are the same or different and C1 -C6-
alkyl are linear or branched; R3 represents C1-C10-alkylene, linear or branched, C6-C10-
arylene, C7-C20-alkylarylene or C7-C20-arylalkylene; M represents Mg, Ca, Al, Sb, Sn, Ge, Ti, Zn, Fe, Zr, Ce, Bi, Sr, Mn, Li, Na, K and / or a protonated
nitrogen base; m is 1 - 4; n is 1 - 4; x is 1 - 4, as component B) 1 - 80 wt.% of a salt of the
phosphoric acid, having general formula (III) [HP(=O)O2]2-M m+, wherein M represents Mg, Ca, Al, Sb, Sn, Ge, Ti, Zn, Fe, Zr, Ce, Bi, Sr, Mn, Li, Na and / or K, as component C) 0.1 - 30 wt.% of an inorganic
zinc compound, as component D) 0 - 30 wt.-% of a
nitrogen-containing synergist and / or a phosphorous /
nitrogen flame retardant, as component E) 0 - 3 wt.% of a
phosphonite or a mixture of a
phosphonite and a phosphite and as component F) 0 - 3 wt.-% of an ester or salt of long-chained aliphatic carboxylic acids (fatty acids), which comprise the typical chain lengths of C14 - C40, the total of the components always amounting to 100 wt.%.
