The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least one thermoplastic polyurethane, a first phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F1) selected from the group consisting of melamine polyphosphates and a further phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F2) selected from the group consisting of derivatives of phosphinic acid, wherein the composition is free from melamine cyanurate, and to the use of such a composition for the production of cable sheathings.

Flame-retardant thermoplastic polyurethane

The present invention relates to thermoplastic polyurethanes obtainable or obtained by a process comprising the reaction of a thermoplastic polyester (PE-1) with a diol (D1) to give a composition (Z1) comprising a polyester (PE-2), and the reaction of the composition (Z1) obtained in step (i) with an isocyanate composition (I1) comprising at least one polyisocyanate, and with a polyol composition (P1), where the polyol composition (P1) comprises at least one polycarbonate polyol (PC1), and also to a process for the production of the thermoplastic polyurethane. The present invention further relates to a composition comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane of the invention and at least one flame retardant. The present invention also relates to the use of this thermoplastic polyurethane for the production of cable sheathing, and also to films, moldings, rollers, fibers, automobile cladding, hoses, cable plugs, folding bellows, drag cables, cable sheathing, gaskets, belts or damping elements comprising this thermoplastic polyurethane.

Flame-retardant composition, a method for preparing the same and an article therefrom

A thermoplastic polyurethane can be obtained by a process involving a reaction of a thermoplastic polyester (PE-1) with a diamine (D1), to obtain a composition (Z1) containing an amide (PA-1), and a reaction of the obtained composition (Z1) with an isocyanate composition (I1), containing at least one polyisocyanate, and a polyol composition (P1). The diamine (D1) has a molecular weight in the range from 50 g/mol to 700 g/mol. A process can produce such a thermoplastic polyurethane, and shaped articles can be made containing the thermoplastic polyurethane.
