Abstract:
A flame-retardant thermoplastic molding composition consisting essentially ofA) from 40 to 98% by weight of a thermoplastic polyamideB) from 1 to 40% by weight of melamine cyanurateC) from 1 to 50% by weight of a fibrous filler which is pretreated with a silane compound and whose arithmetic mean fiber length (d.sub.50) is from 70 to 200 .mu.m and which has a d.sub.10 less than or equal to 60 .mu.m and a d.sub.90 less than or equal to 350 .mu.m, or of an acicular mineral filler with an L/D ratio of from 8:1 to 35:1 or a mixture of theseD) from 0 to 30% by weight of other additives and processing aids where the total of the percentages by weight of components A) to D) is 100% selected from the group consisting of stabilizers and oxidation inhibitors, agents to counteract decomposition by heat and by ultraviolet light, lubricants, mold-release agents, dyes, pigments, plasticizers and impact modifying polymers.
