FLAME RETARDANT

摘要

A flame retardant is provided which has excellent dispersibility in resin ingredients and can give flame-retardant resin moldings excellent in flame retardancy and mechanical properties. The flame retardant comprises magnesium hydroxide particles, a higher fatty acid, preferably stearic acid, bonded to part of the surface of the magnesium hydroxide particles, and a silicone oil having reactivity bonded to that surface part of the magnesium hydroxide particles which does not have the higher fatty acid bonded thereto.
