Provided is an additive that increases or improves a light resistance of anon-fluorinated thermoplastic resin (e.g., a super engineering plastic, such as an aromatic polyamide, a liquid crystal polyester, or an aromatic polyetherketone resin). The additive comprises a fluorine-containing resin. The fluorine-containing resin may be, for example, a fluorine-containing resin comprising a tetrafluoroethylene unit as a monomer unit, in particular, may be a tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (e.g., at least one member selected from the group consisting of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and another fluorinated olefin, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and a fluorinated vinyl ether, and a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, another fluorinated olefin and a fluorinated vinyl ether).

Light-resistance improver

Provided is an additive that increases or improves a light resistance (or whiteness) of a non-fluorinated thermoplastic resin (e.g., a super engineering plastic, such as an aromatic polyamide, a liquid crystal polyester, or an aromatic polyetherketone resin). The additive comprises a fluorine-containing resin and an inorganic white pigment (e.g., titanium oxide). The fluorine-containing resin may be, for example, a fluorine-containing resin comprising a tetrafluoroethylene unit as a monomer unit, in particular, may be a tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (e.g., at least one member selected from the group consisting of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and another fluorinated olefin, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and a fluorinated vinyl ether, and a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, another fluorinated olefin and a fluorinated vinyl ether).

Light-resistant resin composition, and moulded body thereof

A thermoplastic resin composition having a high flame retardancy in a thin-wall molded product and a molded article thereof are provided. The thermoplastic resin composition comprises (A) a thermoplastic resin containing a repeating unit having an arylene group, an ether group, and a carbonyl group and (B) a thermoplastic fluorine-containing resin. The weight ratio of the thermoplastic resin (A) and the thermoplastic fluorine-containing resin (B) in the former/the latter is 80/20 to 99/1. The thermoplastic fluorine-containing resin (B) is dispersed in the form of a particle in the thermoplastic resin (A) to form a dispersed phase, and the dispersed phase has an average particle diameter of not more than 3 &#x3bc;m. The thermoplastic resin composition is suitable for forming a molded article having a thin-wall portion with a thickness of not more than 1.5 mm.
