Abstract
Abstract Reinforced synthetic resin compositions are provided having 25 to 90% by weight of synthetic resin, and the balance (75 to 10% by weight) of reinforcing fillers comprising: (1) 0 to 150 parts by weight of epsom salt, (2) 0 to 150 parts by weight of hydrated borax, and/or (3) 0 to 20 parts by weight of glass spheres, so long as at least one of the two components identified in (1) and (2) are used. The compositions may be used as coatings or for molded articles. They do not require use of aluminum trihydrate, or silica flour particles, or other known fillers having fire retardant properties. Yet, the compositions of the invention are found to possess heretofore unknown properties of fire retardancy, ablation, and smoke absorbency.
