Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A plastic composition comprising a poly(phenylene oxide) and a flame retardant, said flame retardant consisting of a bis-phenoxy compound having the formula ##STR6## wherein (a) Z is bromine; (b) m and m' are independent and are integers having a value of from 1 to 5; and (c) alkylene is a straight or branched chain alkylene group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
A plastic composition comprising a poly(phenylene oxide) and a flame retardant, said flame retardant consisting of a bis-phenoxy compound having the formula ##STR6## wherein (a) Z is bromine; (b) m and m' are independent and are integers having a value of from 1 to 5; and (c) alkylene is a straight or branched chain alkylene group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein the amount of said bis-phenoxy compound employed is from about 5% to about 25% by weight, based on the total weight of said composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
