Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A flame retardant aromatic carbonate polymer composition comprising in admixture an aromatic carbonate polymer and a minor amount of an additive selected from the group consisting of the metal salt of unsubstituted and halogenated oxocarbon acids, and mixtures thereof, wherein said metal salts thereof are selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and mixtures thereof, and said halogen is selected from fluorine, chlorine and bromine, and said oxocarbon acids are characterized by having the moiety ##STR10## forming a cyclic non-aromatic ring in their structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A flame retardant aromatic carbonate polymer composition comprising in admixture an aromatic carbonate polymer and a minor amount of an additive selected from the group consisting of the metal salt of unsubstituted and halogenated oxocarbon acids, and mixtures thereof, wherein said metal salts thereof are selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and mixtures thereof, and said halogen is selected from fluorine, chlorine and bromine, and said oxocarbon acids are characterized by having the moiety ##STR10## forming a cyclic non-aromatic ring in their structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
