Hydrolytically stable, halogen-free flame retardant resin composition

Abstract

The present invention provides a resin composition comprising: (A) at least one thermoplastic resin not having halogen selected from the group consisting of a polyphenylene ether resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polystyrene resin, a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin and a thermoplastic elastomer; and (B) a phosphoric acid ester compound represented by general formula I: ##STR1## wherein Q.sub.1, Q.sub.2, Q.sub.3 and Q.sub.4 independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently represent a methyl group or a hydrogen atom; n represents an integer of 1 or more; n1 and n2 independently represent an integer of 0 to 2; and m1, m2, m3 and m4 independently represent an integer of 1 to 3. According to the present invention, a resin composition excellent in flame retardance can be obtained. A flame retardant agent contained in the resin composition does not cause smoking or volatilize during a molding processing and also does not bleed to the surface of the moldings. Moldings of the resin composition do not discolor, blister and deteriorate in electrical properties and the like due to water absorption.
