Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a polyester resin composition, and more particularly, to a polyester resin composition having excellent properties in flame retardance, mechanical property, heat resistance and moldability. Said polyester resin composition comprises 100 parts by weight of polyester resin (A), from 20 to 70 parts by weight of glass fibers (B), from 2 to 8 parts by weight of a crystallization-accelerating agent (C), from 10 to 25 parts by weight of flame retardant (D) and, as a auxiliary flame retardant (E), from 1 to 10 parts by weight of an antimony compound and from 2 to 12 parts by weight of a boric acid salt.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A polyester resin composition comprising: 100 parts by weight of a polyethylene terephthalate polyester resin (A) having an inherent viscosity of not less than 0.55 to 1.0 dl/g, from 20 to 70 parts by weight of glass fibers having a length of from 0.1 to 6 millimeter (B), from 2 to 8 parts by weight of a crystallization-accelerating agent selected from the group consisting of talc having an average particle diameter of from 0.5 to 10 micron, an ionomer having a melt index of from 0.5 to 5 gram per 10 minutes and a mixture thereof (C), from 10 to 25 parts by weight of a flame retardant selected from the group consisting of tetrachlorobisphenol A oligomer, halogenated polycarbonate oligomer, terminal epoxy compound of tetrabromobisphenol A oligomer, halogenated polystyrene and poly(dibromophenylene oxide) (D) and, as an auxiliary flame retardant, from 2 to 8 parts by weight of an antimony trioxide, and from 3 to 10 parts by weight of zinc borate (E).
