A flame retardant thermoplastic composition is provided containing a vinyl aromatic resin and a flame retardant. The flame retardant is an oligomeric condensation product of a halogenated aromatic diol and an alkylene dihalide composition which is preferably an admixture of an alkyl monohalide and an alkylene dihalide. The compositions are useful for making molded articles for automotive parts and for business machine housings. The composition exhibit no bloom, good thermal color stability, and good resistance to ultraviolet light.

Vinyl aromatic resin compositions containing condensation product of

Polymer blend compositions exhibiting good antistatic properties and ductility comprise a styrenic polymer, an epihalohydrin copolymer and an acrylate polymer present in an amount sufficient to effect compatability of the styrenic polymer and the epihalohydrin polymer as compared with a blend of the styrenic polymer and the epihalohydrin copolymer not including the acrylate polymer. In a more specific embodiment the polymer blend compositions comprise from about 40 to about 96 percent by weight of a styrenic polymer, from about 2 to about 50 percent by weight of an epihalohydrin copolymer, and from about 2 to about 50 percent by weight of an acrylate polymer.
