Abstract
A latex copolymer composition is produced having good flame retardancy. The copolymer is typically made from vinylidene chloride monomers, conjugated diene monomers, vinyl substituted aromatic monomers, and functional monomers such as unsaturated mono or dicarboxylic acids. Through the use of flame retardant agents such as halogenated waxes, metallic salts, and the like, the pliability or softness, as well as the strength of the copolymer composition, can be controlled. Flexibilizing agents can optionally be utilized to abate cracking, especially after heat aging. The composition can optionally be pigmented. The flame retardant latex composition can be utilized as coatings on various substrates such as mats, fibers, and the like.
