The present invention is directed to polymer compositions with flame retardant properties that are made from a polymer blended using a defined process with a smectite clay that has been reacted with a specified mixture of organic materials. The inventive compositions have the property that when the organically modified clay is added to the polymer, a composite results which has flame-retardant properties and is based on the finding that degree of dispersion of a smectite organoclay in a polymer matrix will give the compositions flame- retardant properties. Further, it has been found that it is very important to proper functioning of the flame retardant polymer compositions that they have the organoclay dispersed in the polymer such that it is not completely exfoliated.

La présente invention vise des compositions polymériques possédant des propriétés ignifuges, compositions fabriquées à partir d'un polymère mélangé suivant un processus défini avec une argile de smectite que l'on a précédemment fait réagir avec un mélange de matières organiques. Lorsqu'on ajoute l'argile organiquement modifiée au polymère, on obtient un matériau composite ayant des propriétés ignifuges; ces compositions sont basées sur le principe selon lequel la dispersion d'un organoargile de smectite dans une matrice polymérique donnera un produit ignifugeant. En outre, on a découvert qu'il est très important, pour que le polymère ignifugeant joue correctement son rôle, que l'organoargile soit dispersée dans le polymère de manière à qu'elle ne soit pas complètement exfoliée.
