Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A FIRE RESISTANT THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITION COMPRISING A. FROM 40 TO 90 PECENT BY WEIGHT OF A THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF POLYPROPYLENE, COPOLYMERS OF PROPYLENE, POLYETHYLENE, POLYSTYRENE, STYRENE/ACRYLONITRILE COPOLYMERS, POLYAMIDES AND MIXTURES THEREOF; AND B.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The fire-resistant composition of claim 1 containing from 20 to 40 percent by weight of the chrysotile asbestos fibres and from 5 to 10 percent by weight of said additive mixture.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The fire-resistant composition of claim 1 wherein the additive mixture consists of at least 2.5 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of a mixture of 3 parts by weight of a halogenated hydrocarbon and one part by weight of antimony trioxide.
