| abstract |
The present invention relates to a moisture-curable composition having flame retardant properties and its use as an adhesive, sealant or coating. The composition according to the invention contains at least one wet-reactive polymer in a proportion of 10-50 wt %, at least one precipitated, surface-coated aluminium trihydrate in a proportion of 30-60 wt % and in a preferred embodiment up to 25 wt % % of at least one phosphorus-containing compound and up to 20 wt% of at least one carbon additive. The moisture-curable composition of the present invention has excellent flame retardant properties and maintains durability at high heat levels for a long time after curing. The compositions also exhibit very good mechanical properties after curing, especially in terms of tensile strength, elongation at break and tensile shear strength. |
