The present invention provides a power flame retardant for a halogen-containing vinyl resin, which comprises the following Components A, B and C. (A) 5 to 30 parts by weight of at least one of alkali metal compound of lithium, sodium and potassium calculated as the formula M.sub.2 O where M is an alkali metal; (B) 0.2 to 10 parts by weight of a perchloric acid radical in the form of the acid or a salt or amine thereof, calculated as perchloric acid radical; and (C) 1 to 50 parts by weight of a hydrophobic dispersing agent having a boiling point or a decomposition temperature of 200.degree. C. or higher. All the parts by weight are based on 100 parts by weight of antimony pentoxide (Sb.sub.2 O.sub.5). The flame retardant of the present invention does not impair transparency of the halogen-containing vinyl resin, and also does not worsen various physical properties such as thermal stability and weathering resistance. The invention also provides (1) flame retardant halogen containing resins and (2) a process for preparing the powdered flame retardant.

Flame retardant for halogen-containing vinyl resins

There is disclosed a process for preparing colloidal sols of antimony pentoxide in organic solvents which comprises the steps of:

Process for preparing colloidal sols of antimony pentoxide in organic

There is disclosed a process for preparing stable colloidal sols of antimony pentoxide in organic solvents which comprises the steps of adjusting an amount of an organic base in an aqueous colloidal solution of antimony pentoxide to, in terms of % by weight, 2 to 30% based on antimony pentoxide in the aqueous colloidal solution of antimony pentoxide; adding an organic acid in an amount of 0.2 to 20%; and replacing a dispersing medium of the colloidal solution from water to an organic solvent.

Process for preparing stable colloidal sols of antimony pentoxide in

Disclosed is a positively charged antimony pentoxide sol, comprising colloidal particles of antimony pentoxide sol coated on their surfaces with at least one of trivalent and tetravalent metals, the content of the metals being 1 to 50% by weight in terms of the metal oxide based on antimony pentoxide in the antimony pentoxide sol. When the positively charged antimony pentoxide sol of this invention is mixed with a cationic resin emulsion or an aqueous solution of a cationic water-soluble polymer, no agglomeration occurs and also, when it is added into an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc., or an organic acid such as acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, etc., an aqueous solution of a metal salt or amine salts of these acids or an organic solvent such as an alcohol, no agglomeration occurs but it is well dispersed therein, and therefore it can be applicable for fields in which the antimony pentoxide sol of the prior art cannot satisfactorily be used.

Positively charged antimony pentoxide sol and preparation thereof

A process for preparing an antimony pentoxide sol, which comprises dispersing sodium antimonate in water, reacting the sodium antimonate with a monovalent or divalent inorganic acid added in a stoichiometrical amount of 0.7 time to 5 times the amount of the sodium antimonate to form the sodium salt of said inorganic acid and an antimony pentoxide gel, separating and water washing said gel, dispersing said gel in water, and peptizing said gel dispersed in water by adding an organic base in an amount to provide a stoichiometrical amount of base / Sb.sub.2 O.sub.5 of from 0.03 to 1.
