Cyclic Phosphonate Flame Retardant
Cyclic phosphonate flame retardant is a class of organophosphorus compounds featuring a cyclic backbone structure that provides enhanced thermal stability and hydrolysis resistance compared to linear phosphonate esters. These compounds act in both the condensed and gas phase, promoting char formation while releasing phosphorus radical species that interrupt combustion chain reactions. They are valued in waterborne coatings and textile finishing for their low volatility and compatibility.
