An agent for treating ulcer containing, as an effective component, a particulate composite hydrotalcite obtained by solidly dissolving a small amount of zinc in the particulate hydrotalcite, exhibiting excellent effect for treating the peptic ulcer and, further, working as a Zn-supplying agent. The agent for treating the ulcer is represented by the following formula (1),(MgZn)Al(OH)(A)HO&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)

Agent for treating ulcer

A novel particulate composite hydrotalcite which offers antacidic effect comparable to that of a particulate hydrotalcite so far used as a gastric antacid and, further, offers excellent stomach inner wall protection effect. A particulate composite hydrotalcite represented by the following formula (1),(MgZn)Al(OH)(A)HO&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)

Gastric antacid

Synthetic resin composition having resistance to thermal deterioration and molded articles

There are provided a flame retardant comprising hydrotalcite compound particles which exhibits excellent heat deterioration resistance when it is used as a flame retardant for resins, a resin composition comprising the same and a molded article thereof. There are also provided a heat deterioration resistant flame retardant comprising hydrotalcite compound particles which (i) have an average secondary particle diameter, measured by a laser diffraction scattering method, of 2 &mgr;m or less and (ii) contain an iron compound and a manganese compound in a total amount of 0.02 wt % or less in terms of metals, a synthetic resin composition comprising the same and a molded article thereof.

Heat deterioration resistant flame retardant, resin composition and molded article

A flame retardant resin composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a synthetic resin, (B) 20 to 150 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide particles and (C) 20 to 150 parts by weight of aluminum hydroxide particles, wherein the magnesium hydroxide particles and the aluminum hydroxide particles satisfy the following conditions (i) to (v): (i) the average secondary particle diameter measured by a microtrack method is 0.4 to 4 .mu.m; (ii) the specific surface measured by a BET method is 1 to 15 m.sup.2 /g; (iii) the total content of an iron compound and a manganese compound is 200 ppm or less in terms of metals (Fe+Mn); (iv) the ratio of the specific surface measured by the BET method to the specific surface measured by a Blaine method is 1 to 4; and (v) the content of a water-soluble sodium salt is 500 ppm or less in terms of metal sodium. The present invention provide a halogen-free flame retardant resin composition which has excellent thermal stability, acid resistance, water-resistant insulating properties, mechanical strength and surface appearance and is economically advantageous, and a molded article therefrom.
