I.Specification
Chlorendic acid is industrially
produced in high volumes, by Diels-Alder reaction. It
is used as an intermediate in synthesis of unsaturated
flame-retardant polyester resins and plasticizers, and
as a finishing flame-retardant treatment for wool. A
major use is in production of fiberglass-reinforced
resins for chemical industry equipment. It can be used
to make alkyd resins for use in special inks and paints.
It is used as a hardening agent in epoxy resins used
in manufacture of printed circuit boards. When reacted
with nonhalogenated glycols, it forms halogenated polyols
used as flame retardants in polyurethane foams. It is
also used for production of dibutyl chlorendate and
dimethyl chlorendate, which are used as reactive flame
retardants in plastics. In limited amounts, it is used
as an additive in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer.
Esters and amine salts of chlorendic
acid are used as extreme pressure additives in synthetic
lubricants.
When used in polymers, whether as
a curing agent or as a flame retardant, it bonds covalently
to the polymer matrix, which reduces its leaching
to the environment. It may be however released when
such materials are subjected to hydrolysis,and can
be formed by oxidation of chlorinated cyclodiene insecticides
(eg. endosulfan, chlordane, heptachlor, aldrin, dieldrin,
endrin, and isodrin). Its half-life in soil is 140-280
days.
