The synergistic flame‐retardant (FR) effect of 1,1′‐bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐metheylene‐bis(9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐oxide‐2‐hydroxypropan‐1‐yl) (DPOH) and aluminum diethylphosphinate (AlPi) composites on glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 (PA) was investigated by limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests, vertical burning (UL94) tests, and cone calorimeter tests. DPOH/AlPi system with 1:1 mass ratio increased UL94 ratings, suppressed heat release rate and increased residue yields of PA composites, and DPOH/AlPi system also imposed high LOI values and lower total heat release values to PA composites. All these results verified excellent synergistic FR effect between DPOH and AlPi. The reason of DPOH/AlPi system with higher flame‐retardant efficiency was caused by the quenching effect as good as that of DPOH and also by the higher charring effect than that of AlPi. DPOH/AlPi system possesses good flame retardancy in gas phase and also the strengthened FR effect in condensed phase compared with DPOH and AlPi alone, which led to excellent synergistic FR effect between the two components DPOH and AlPi. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
