Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A reinforced, flame-retardant, arc track resistant composition consisting of (a) 40-65 weight percent of composition of a polyamide of film-forming molecular weight, (b) 16-35 weight percent of composition of melamine, melam, melamine cyanurate or a melamine derivative represented by the formula ##STR7## where R and R 1 may be the same or different and represent hydrogen, lower alkyl (alkyl of 1-6 carbons), phenyl, tolyl or halo-phenyl, provided that not all the R and R 1 groups can be hydrogen, (c) 1-7 weight percent of composition selected from the class consisting of a chlorinated compound obtained from condensation of two moles of perchlorocyclopentadiene and one mole of 1,5-cyclooctadiene, or a brominated polystyrene. (d) 1-4.9 weight percent of composition of zinc borate or zinc oxide (e) 5-30 weight percent of composition of glass fibers, the percent amounts of components (a) through (e) totaling 100% with respect to one another.
