Abstract:
1. A fiber or filament formed from ingredients comprising (a) at least one fiber-forming thermoplastic polymer, and (b) at least one polybrominated anionic styrenic polymer, wherein the polybrominated anionic styrenic polymer has a bromine content of at least about 50 wt %; when the fiber-forming thermoplastic polymer is a polyester, the polybrominated anionic styrenic polymer is less than about 5 wt % of the fiber or filament, and when the fiber-forming thermoplastic polymer is a polyolefin, at least one synergist is present and the polybrominated anionic styrenic polymer is about 5 wt % or less of the fiber or filament.
