Patent ID: 6855275

Claim:
A flame retardant composition suitable for use in forming a flame retardant polymer composition which fluid flame retardant composition consists essentially of a normally viscous fluid flame retardant selected from the group consisting of an aromatic oligomeric phosphate ester and a high molecular weight chloroalkyl phosphate and an effective amount of a fluid alkylene-bridge diphosphate compound for viscosity reduction thereof; wherein said alkylene-bridge diphosphate compound is of the formula wherein R is aryl; n is a number ranging from 0 to about 5; and R 1 is alkylene of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and wherein said effective amount of a fluid alkylene-bridge diphosphate compound is from about 5% by weight to about 80% by weight of said normally viscous fluid flame retardant whose viscosity is to be reduced.
