Abstract
Abstract Permanently flame-resistant synthetic linear polyesters are obtained by irporating by condensation into the polyester composed of the usual dicarboxylic acid and diol units an alkylphosphine oxide of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein the radicals R to R 4 represent organic radicals of which R 2 , R 3 and Z may be substituted by 2 hydroxyl groups altogether, R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may also represent hydrogen and a is zero or a whole number of from 1 to 4. The flame-resistant polyesters are processed into shaped structures such as fibers, filaments, sheets, injection and compression molded articles characterized by good flameproofness and dyeing properties.
