Abstract:
A flameproof, essentially halogen-free, polymer composition comprising100 parts by weight of a polymer selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic, crosslinkable or crosslinked, elastomeric and thermosetting polymers or mixtures thereof; wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyolefins; vinyl polymers; styrene polymers; polyacrylonitrile; polyacrylates and methacrylates; natural and synthetic rubbers; fluorine plastics; thermoplastic polycondensates; thermosetting polycondensates; thermosetting and thermoplastic polyadducts; co-or terpolymers as well as graft polymers from them; and their mixtures, from about 10 to about 200 parts by weight of a metal hydroxide selected from magnesium, calcium, zinc or aluminum hydroxide or double hydroxides or mixtures thereof wherein said metal hydroxide has a specific surface area of from about 3 to about 150 m2/g and an average particle size from about 1 to about 20 &mgr;m; and from about 1 to abut 50 parts by weight of an organically intercalated layer silicate prepared from a precursor layer silicate.
