TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a flame retardant composition for synthetic resins and a flame retardant synthetic resin composition including the flame retardant composition. More specifically, the invention relates to a flame retardant composition which has excellent heat resistance and in which the risk of corrosion of processing machines at the time of obtaining the resin is reduced, and to a flame retardant synthetic resin composition which includes the aforementioned flame retardant composition and which has excellent weather resistance. FUNDAMENTALS [0002] Synthetic resins have conventionally been widely used, for example, for building materials, car parts, packaging materials, agricultural materials, housing materials for household appliances and toys because of their excellent chemical and mechanical characteristics. Unfortunately, many synthetic resins are flammable and therefore need to be fireproof for some applications. A widely known method of fire resistance is to use one or a combination of flame retardants, such as halogen-based flame retardants, red phosphorus-typified inorganic phosphorus-based flame retardants, and polyphosphate-based flame retardants. , such as ammonium polyphosphate, organophosphorus-based flame retardants typified by triaryl phosphate ester compounds, metal hydroxides and antimony oxide, and melamine compounds, which are flame retardant aids. [0003] Halogen based flame retardants, however, have a disadvantage in that they generate hazardous gases on combustion. Thus, attempts are being made to use the aforementioned phosphorus-based flame retardants that do not cause this problem. [0004] For example, Patent Literature 1 describes a flame retardant synthetic resin composition including ammonium polyphosphate, a compound containing a multivalent hydroxyl group, a triazine ring containing compound, and a metal hydroxide. Patent literatures 2 and 3 disclose flame retardant synthetic resin compositions including melamine polyphosphate and (penta to tripty) erythritol. Patent Literature 4 describes a flame retardant synthetic resin composition including polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), melamine pyrophosphate, and an aromatic phosphate oligomer. Patent Literatures 5 and 6 describe that melamine pyrophosphate and other phosphorus-containing compounds are effective in the fire resistance of polymers such as PBT. [0005] Among such flame retardants, intumescent flame retardants, - that is, flame retardants which include a polyphosphate salt as a main component and which form a surface swelling (swelling) layer on combustion, thereby obtaining flame retardancy by preventing diffusion of decomposition products and heat transfer - are known to have excellent flame retardancy. For example, Patent Literature 7 describes such a flame retardant.

Patent 7: US 2003088000 (A1) SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL PROBLEM [0007] Unfortunately, polyphosphate salts - ie the main component of the aforementioned intumescent flame retardant - tend to produce strongly acidic salts due to, for example, side reactions at the time of production by heating and condensation. If a polyphosphate salt is used as a material for a flame retardant, the flame retardant may have a low heat resistance due to its acidity, or the flame retardant may corrode processing machinery at the time of obtaining the resins. Furthermore, if the flame retardant is mixed with a synthetic resin and made into a flame retardant synthetic resin composition, the flame retardant may affect the weather resistance of the synthetic resin composition over time. [0008] Thus, an object of the invention is to provide a flame retardant composition which has excellent heat resistance and in which the risk of corroding processing machines at the time of obtaining the resin is reduced and to provide a flame retardant synthetic resin composition which includes this flame retardant composition and which has excellent heat resistance and weather resistance. Also provided is a weather resistant flame retardant molded product which is obtained from the above mentioned flame retardant synthetic resin composition. SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM [0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors carried out intensive studies and came to the conclusion of the invention. [0010] The invention provides a flame retardant composition comprising from 20 to 50 parts by mass of component (A) described below, 50 to 80 parts by mass of component (B) described below (the total of component (A) and the component (B) is 100 parts by mass), and 0.01 to 5 parts by mass of component (C) described below: component (A): at least one type of melamine salt selected from melamine orthophosphate, melamine, melamine polyphosphate, or a mixture including two or more types of melamine salts; component (B): at least one type of piperazine salt selected from piperazine orthophosphate, piperazine pyrophosphate, piperazine polyphosphate, or a mixture including two or more types of piperazine salts; ecomponent (C): a hydrotalcite compound. [0011] The invention provides the flame retardant composition, wherein: at least one type of melamine salt selected as component (A) is a melamine salt obtained by subjecting melamine orthophosphate to heating and condensation; and at least one The type of piperazine salt selected as component (B) is a piperazine salt obtained by subjecting piperazine orthophosphate to heating and condensation. [0012] The invention provides the flame retardant composition, wherein a liquid obtained by dispersing the flame retardant composition in water in an amount that is 9 times the mass of the composition has a pH within a range of 3.0 to 5 .0 at 25°C. [0013] The invention provides a flame retardant synthetic resin composition obtained by mixing the flame retardant composition with a synthetic resin. [0014] The invention provides the flame retardant synthetic resin composition, wherein the synthetic resin is a polyolefin-based resin. [0015] The invention provides a molded product obtained from the flame retardant synthetic resin composition. ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION [0016] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a flame retardant composition which has excellent heat resistance and in which the risk of corroding processing machines at the time of obtaining the resin is reduced. Further in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to provide a synthetic resin composition which has excellent flame retardancy and weather resistance. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a molded product having flame retardancy and weather resistance. DESCRIPTION OF MODALITIES [0017] The melamine salt used as component (A) in the flame retardant composition of the present invention is selected from melamine orthophosphate, melamine pyrophosphate and melamine polyphosphate; the salt can be used alone or it can be used as a mixture. Among the above, melamine pyrophosphate is preferable from the point of view of heat resistance, weather resistance, and low corrosion risk of processing machinery. In cases of using a blend, the higher the melamine pyrophosphate content ratio, the more preferable. [0018] The aforementioned salts of phosphoric acids and melamine can be obtained by reacting melamine with the corresponding phosphoric acid or phosphate. However, the melamine salt used as component (A) in the present invention is preferably melamine pyrophosphate or melamine polyphosphate obtained by subjecting melamine orthophosphate to heating and condensation, with melamine pyrophosphate being particularly preferable. [0019] Unreacted melamine pyrophosphate may include unreacted melamine orthophosphate, over-reacted melamine polyphosphate, or other by-products. [0020] In the heating and condensation reaction of melamine orthophosphate, melamine pyrophosphate or melamine polyphosphate can be produced by heating melamine orthophosphate and subjecting it to a dehydration condensation reaction. [0021] It is preferable to conduct the heating and condensation reaction of melamine orthophosphate in a solid phase state; however, the reaction can be conducted in a molten state or in a slurry state in which a small amount of water is included. Of course, a solvent can be used for the reaction, but this is not preferable considering, for example, the time and difficulty of removing the solvent. [0022] Melamine pyrophosphate obtained by subjecting melamine orthophosphate to a heating and condensation reaction in a solid phase state can be used as such without refining. [0023] From the point of view of the purity of the obtained melamine pyrophosphate and production efficiency, the temperature to obtain melamine pyrophosphate by subjecting melamine orthophosphate to a heating and condensation reaction in a solid phase state is preferably 150°C to 300°C, more preferably 160 to 280°C. If the temperature is below 150°C, pyrophosphorylation cannot progress sufficiently, whereas temperatures above 300°C tend to produce a triphosphate salt or other polyphosphates that have undergone another dehydration condensation reaction. [0024] Reaction time is not particularly limited; the reaction can be conducted as appropriate depending on the temperature conditions until the dehydration condensation reaction of melamine orthophosphate to melamine pyrophosphate is completed. [0025] The piperazine salt used as component (B) in the flame retardant composition of the invention is selected from piperazine orthophosphate, piperazine pyrophosphate, and piperazine polyphosphate; the salt can be used alone or it can be used as a mixture. Among the above, piperazine pyrophosphate is preferable from the point of view of heat resistance, weather resistance and low risk of corrosion of processing machinery. In case of using a mixture, the higher the piperazine pyrophosphate content ratio, the more preferable. [0026] The aforementioned salts of phosphoric acids and piperazine can be obtained by reacting piperazine with corresponding phosphoric acid or phosphate. However, the piperazine salt used as component (B) in the present invention is preferably piperazine pyrophosphate or piperazine polyphosphate obtained by subjecting piperazine orthophosphate to heating and condensation, with piperazine pyrophosphate being particularly preferable. [0027] Piperazine pyrophosphate may include unreacted piperazine orthophosphate, piperazine polyphosphate produced by over-reaction, or other by-products. [0028] In the heating and condensation reaction of piperazine orthophosphate, piperazine pyrophosphate or piperazine polyphosphate can be produced by heating piperazine orthophosphate and subjecting it to a dehydration condensation reaction. [0029] It is preferable to conduct the heating and condensation reaction of piperazine orthophosphate in a solid phase state; however, the reaction can be conducted in a molten state or in a slurry state in which a small amount of water is included. Of course, a solvent can be used for the reaction, but this is not preferable considering, for example, the time and difficulty of removing the solvent. [0030] Piperazine pyrophosphate obtained by subjecting piperazine orthophosphate to a heating and condensation reaction in a solid phase state can be used as such without refining. [0031] From the point of view of the purity of the piperazine pyrophosphate obtained and the production efficiency, the temperature to obtain piperazine pyrophosphate by subjecting the piperazine orthophosphate to a heating and condensation reaction in a solid phase state is preferably 170°C to 320°C, more preferably 180 to 300°C. If the temperature is below 170°C, pyrophosphorylation cannot progress sufficiently, while temperatures above 320°C tend to produce a triphosphate salt or other polyphosphates that have undergone another dehydration condensation reaction. [0032] Reaction time is not particularly limited; the reaction can be conducted as appropriate depending on temperature conditions until the dehydration condensation reaction from piperazine orthophosphate to piperazine pyrophosphate is complete.

It should be noted that n = 1 indicates pentaerythritol, n = 2 indicates dipentaerythritol. [0052] As for the mixture of (poly)pentaerythritol, from the point of view of flame retardancy, if n represents the degree of condensation of pentaerythritol, a mixture in which the total content of pentaerythritol and condensates thereof with n = 1 to 3 is 10 to 30% by mass for the total amount of mixture is preferred; a mixture wherein the content of n = 1 pentaerythritol is 0 to 10% by mass and the total content of pentaerythritol and condensates thereof with n = 1 to 3 and 5 to 30% by mass, is more preferred; and a mixture wherein the content of n=1 pentaerythritol is 0 to 5% by mass and the total content of pentaerythritol and condensates thereof with n=1 to 3 is 10 to 30% by mass is most preferred.

[0055] The mixture of (poly)pentaerythritol can be produced according to known methods without limitation. For example, the mixture can be produced by a thermal dehydration condensation reaction of pentaerythritol and/or pentaerythritol condensates as such or in the presence of an appropriate catalyst and solvent.

These solvents can be dehydrated or they can be hydrated. [0059] The temperature range for the thermal dehydration condensation reaction in the production of (poly)pentaerythritol mixture is generally about 100 to 280°C, more preferably 150 to 240°C. Reaction temperatures below 100°C can result in a slow reaction, while temperatures above 280°C can make the condensation reaction difficult to control. [0060] In cases of mixing the above-mentioned compound(s) for the flame retardant composition of the present invention, the amount that should be mixed with respect to 100 parts by mass in total of component (A) and component (B) is preferably from 0.5 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably from 2 to 12 parts by mass, and even more preferably from 5 to 10 parts by mass.

Then, at the same time as the burning ceased, a flame from the burner was brought into contact with the test piece for 10 seconds for the second time, and the time it took for the fire that caught the test piece to cease was measured, as at the first time. At the same time, evaluation was made with respect to whether or not ignited particles that fell from the specimen ignited a piece of cotton located below the specimen. [00123] From the first and second combustion times and whether or not the piece of cotton caught fire, each test piece was classified according to UL-94V. The V-0 combustion rating is the highest rating, and flame retardancy decreases on the order of V-1 to V-2. Note that test specimens that do not fall into any of the V-0 to V-2 classifications are indicated as NR.{Weather Resistance Test Method} *• [00124] The yellowness index (Yl) of each of the above mentioned test bodies was measured at 240 hours and 360 hours using a Sunshine weather gauge (product of Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd.) under the following conditions: 63°C, with rain. A TC-8600A color difference meter (product of Tokyo Denshoku Co., Ltd.) was used to measure the yellowing index.
