Zusammenfassung:A thermoplastic resin composition with improved flame retardance, flow and heat deflection temperature includes a thermoplastic resin; resorcinol diphenyl phosphate; and an additive blend. The additive blend includes a combination of melamine polyphosphate and ferrocene. The thermoplastic composition reduces the amounts of resorcinol diphenyl phosphate required for effective flame retardancy. Moreover, the effective amounts of melamine polyphosphate and ferrocene do not deleteriously affect other properties of the thermoplastic composition such as Izod strength, flow properties, and heat deflection temperatures. A process for manufacturing a thermoplastic composition is also disclosed.
