Abstract: Polyamide 6 is an important engineering thermoplastic; however, its practical use is often constrained by its high flammability. Although aluminum diethylphosphinate is widely employed as a flame retardant for polyamide 6, its relatively slow char-forming kinetics hinders the attainment of the stringent 750 °C glow-wire ignition temperature required for electrical applications at moderate loadings. To address this limitation, a synergist was fabricated via the self-assembly of phytic acid, benzoguanamine, and ZnSO4·7H2O and subsequently incorporated to enhance the char-forming capability and flame retardancy of polyamide 6/aluminum diethylphosphinate composites. The results revealed that the synergist acted as an efficient charring promoter, improving flame retardancy. At a total loading of 15 wt%, the composite reached a UL-94 V-0 rating and high limiting oxygen index of 30.7%. Cone calorimetry data indicate that the peak heat release rate decreased by 34.0%, and the smoke production rate decreased by 33.3% compared with the polyamide 6/aluminum diethylphosphinate composites. Mechanistic analysis indicated that the synergist catalyzed the carbonization of the polyamide 6, enabling the formation of a dense thermally insulating char barrier in the condensed phase. Notably, the optimized formulation achieved a glow-wire ignition temperature of 750 °C, demonstrating its strong potential for high-safety electrical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
