Abstract

Abstract A glass fiber reinforced flame retarding polyester composition containing decabromodiphenyl ether and/or decabromodiphenyl together with antimony trioxide wherein the ratio by weight of bromine atom to antimony atom is within the range of 0.15 to 0.29. The composition has excellent durability for thermal degradation and improved coloring properties in shaped form.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
A flame retarding thermoplastic polyester composition reinforced by glass fiber which comprises 100 parts by weight of a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyester, 2 to 19 parts by weight of at least one flame retarding agent selected from the group consisting of decabromodiphenylether and decabromodiphenyl, and 12 to 30 parts by weight of antimony trioxide, wherein the ratio by weight of bromine atom to antimony atom is within the range of 0.15 to 0.27, wherein the glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyester comprises 98 to 40 parts by weight of thermoplastic polyester and 2 to 60 parts by weight of glass fiber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
A flame retarding thermoplastic polyester composition reinforced by glass fiber which comprises 100 parts by weight of a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyester, 2 to 19 parts by weight of at least one flame retarding agent selected from the group consisting of decabromodiphenylether and decabromodiphenyl, and 12 to 30 parts by weight of antimony trioxide, wherein the ratio by weight of bromine atom to antimony atom is within the range of 0.15 to 0.27, wherein the glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyester comprises 98 to 40 parts by weight of thermoplastic polyester and 2 to 60 parts by weight of glass fiber.
