Process for preparing organic solvent soluble amine molybdates

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Amine molybdates are formed by reacting an amine with a molybdenum compound in a reaction mixture comprised of at least two immiscible liquid materials one of which is an aqueous phase and another of which is a volatile organic solvent in which the amine molybdate to be formed is readily soluble; an inorganic or organic acid desirably is added to the reaction mixture; in this way the amine molybdate is recovered in an organic solvent; in prior processes involving aqueous media the amine molybdates are difficult to separate from the aqueous phase, difficult to purify and difficult to handle; amine molybdates are effective smoke retardant additives for vinyl and vinylidene chloride polymer …
