Some Fire-Resistant Compounds from Diglyceryl Borate-Trichloroacetate

Diglyceryl borate trichloroacetate ester was prepared from a mixture of diglycerylborate, and trichloroacetic acid in mole ratio 1: 2 in presence of titanium dioxide as a catalyst under stream of nitrogen at high temperature. Samples of fire-resistant compounds from a polymer (poly vinyl chloride), plasticizers (dioctylphthalate and triisopropylphenylphosphate), variable proportions of (diglycerylborate trichloroacetate or diglycerylborate) as fire-resistance modifier, a heat stabilizer (dibutyltindilaurate), a fire-retardant (antimony trioxide), beside a filler and pigment (titanium dioxide) were formulated. Several formulations from the prepared samples were experimented for their fire-resistancy.
