Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a flame-resistant resin composition improved in arc resistance, comprising polytetramethylene terephthalate, a flame-retardant halogen compound, and sodium antimonate or a sodium antimonate-antimony trioxide mixture containing 40% by weight or more of sodium antimonate, and optionally talc, the amount of the halogen compound being 3 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polytetramethylene terephthalate, the weight ratio of the halogen compound to the total antimony compound being 0.25 to 6, and the amount of talc being 0 to 60% by weight based on the weight of the composition. This composition may also contain a reinforcing filler.
