Abstract
A flame-proof polyester molding compositions is disclosed. The composition that exhibits good flame-resistance, particularly in thin-walled moldings, contains red phosphorus, nitrogen-containing compounds and a small amount of a hydrotalcite. The composition is particularly suitable for the preparation of moldings, sheeting and fibers.
Claims15
A molding composition comprising
- A) one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyester carbonate and polycarbonate,
- B) 5 to 30 parts by weight of a flame retardant containing
- b1) 16 to 50% by weight with respect to B) of red phosphorus, and
- b2) 50 to 84% by weight with respect to B) of at least one nitrogen compound selected from the group consisting of melamine, melamine cyanurate, melamine oxalate, melamine phosphate prim., melamine phosphate sec. melamine pyro-phosphate sec., neopentyl glycol boric acid melamine, polymeric melamine phosphate and guanidine salts,
- C) 0.001 to 0.69 parts by weight of a hydrotalcite, as well as
- D) 1 to 50 parts by weight of fillers and/or reinforcing agents, and
- E) 0 to 50 parts by weight of at least one functional additive selected from the group consisting of thermal stabilizers, anti-thermal crosslinking agents, UV stabilizers, plasticizers, flow enhancers, processing aids, impact modifiers, flame-retardant agents, anti-drip agents, internal lubricants, mold release agents, nucleating agents, anti-static agents, colorants and pigments,
- wherein the sum of the proportions of A to E is 100 parts by weight.
