Abstract
Abstract A self-extinguishing resin composition comprises 55 - 25 wt. % of a thermoplastic resin and 45 - 75 wt. % of magnesium hydroxide, wherein said magnesium hydroxide has a specific surface area of less than or equal to 45 m2/g. Such a composition is not subject to formation of a silver-colored streak upon being extrusion- or injection-molded.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
228 words
A self-extinguishing resin composition which prevents the formation of a silver-colored streak when extrusion-molded or injection-molded which comprises: 5- 25 wt. % of a thermoplastic resin and 45 - 75 wt. % of magnesium hydroxide, wherein when said resin is extrusion-molded, the specific surface area of magnesium hydroxide is selected within the ranges of 38 - 45 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of more than 8 g/10 minutes; 40 - 33 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 8 - 4 g/10 minutes; 36 - 28 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 4 - 1 g/10 minutes; and 35 - 25 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 1 - 0.1 g/10 minutes; and wherein, when said resin is injection-molded, the specific surface area of magnesium hydroxide is selected from the ranges of 30 - 22 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of more than 10 g/10 minutes; 25 - 18 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 10 - 6 g/10 minutes; 22 - 10 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 6 - 3 g/10 minutes; and less than 20 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 3 - 1 g/10 minutes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
228 words
A self-extinguishing resin composition which prevents the formation of a silver-colored streak when extrusion-molded or injection-molded which comprises: 5- 25 wt. % of a thermoplastic resin and 45 - 75 wt. % of magnesium hydroxide, wherein when said resin is extrusion-molded, the specific surface area of magnesium hydroxide is selected within the ranges of 38 - 45 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of more than 8 g/10 minutes; 40 - 33 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 8 - 4 g/10 minutes; 36 - 28 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 4 - 1 g/10 minutes; and 35 - 25 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 1 - 0.1 g/10 minutes; and wherein, when said resin is injection-molded, the specific surface area of magnesium hydroxide is selected from the ranges of 30 - 22 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of more than 10 g/10 minutes; 25 - 18 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 10 - 6 g/10 minutes; 22 - 10 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 6 - 3 g/10 minutes; and less than 20 m 2 /g when said resin has a melt index of 3 - 1 g/10 minutes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
