Triazine compounds useful as flame retardants have the formula (I) where Am represents an amino group, Pp represents a phosphonic group and Z represents an amino group or a phosphonic group, or are polymers comprising repeating units of formula (II), where (a) is a diamine residue. The triazine compounds are used as flame retardants in plastic materials, particularly polyurethane foam or artificial fibres, or in intumescent fire protection compositions. |
