Abstract
Abstract There are disclosed fire retardant polyblends comprising thermoplastic polymers intimately admixed with a crosslinked copolymer of a vinyl halide, preferably a crosslinked vinyl chloride copolymer. These fire retardant polyblends may be utilized in a variety of coating, impregnating and especially molding applications wherein it is desired to provide fire retardancy to the resulting end product.
