<p>A method for reducing the odor formed during thermal processing of a thermoplastic polymer composition containing a tris(trihaloneopentyl) phosphate flame retardant additive is disclosed. The method comprises processing a polymer composition containing the thermoplastic polymer, the flame retardant additive, and a quantity of a hydrotalcite effective to reduce the odor formed during processing at an elevated temperature. The method is especially suited for processing polymers that must be processed above 230 °C, such as polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate, and polycarbonate.</p> |
