Synergistic charring effect was observed between aluminum diethlyphosphinate (AlPi) and 4,4-bishydroxydeoxybenzoin-polyphosphonate (BHDB-PPN) in the poly(butylene terephthalate) composite. By combining them together, robust UL 94 V0 rating was achieved at 0.8 mm thickness for poly(butylene terephthalate)/AlPi/BHDB-PPN composite which exhibited better mechanical properties than the samples without BHDB-PPN. The thermal degradation behavior of BHDB-PPN was investigated by analyzing its evolution and residues under different temperatures. It was found that the radical termination reaction of formed benzyl group may play a critical role in the high charring capacity of BHDB-PPN. Part of the volatile diethlyphosphinate fragments reacted with the degradation intermediates from BHDB-PPN to form big chain structure for further carbonization was a possible reason for the synergistic charring effect between AlPi and BHDB-PPN. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
