FLAME-RETARDANT POLYAMIDE COMPOSITION

The invention relates to a flame-retardant, polyamide composition containing: as component A) 1 to 96 wt. % of one or more thermoplastic polyamides; as component B) 2 to 25 wt. % of a dialkylphosphinic acid salt of formula (I), where R1 and R2 are the same or different and represent linear, branched or cyclical C1-C18 alkyl, C6-C18 aryl, C7-C18 aryl alkyl and/or C7-C18 alkylaryl; M represents Mg, Ca, Al, Sb, Sn, Ge, Ti, Zn, Fe, Zr, Ce, Bi, Sr, Mn, Li, Na, K and/or a protonated nitrogen base; m is 1 to 4; n is 1 to 4; as component C) 1 to 20 wt. % of a salt of phosphoric acid; as component D) 1 to 20 wt. % of one or more condensation products of melamine; as component E) 0 to 50 wt. % of a filler and/or reinforcing agent; as component F) 0 to 2 wt. % of a phosphite or phosphonite or mixtures thereof; and as component G) 0 to 2 wt. % of an ester or salt of long-chained aliphatic carboxylic acids (fatty acids) which typically have chain lengths of C14 to C40, the sum of the components always amounting to 100 wt. %. The invention also relates to the use of said composition.
