A composition comprising at least one high Tg amorphous resin with a fibrous filler shows improved melt processability. Addition of a sulfonate salt to the compositions gives increased melt flow as well as enhanced flame retardancy in a composition which is substantially free of bromine and chlorine.

Flame retardant fiber reinforced composition with improved flow

Problem To offer a suitable polyether imide resin composition for the plastic components for automobiles, domestic appliances or OA apparatus, equipment's for media where heat resistance, dimensional stability and fire retardancy is required. Means for solving the problem Filler reinforced polyether imide resin composition is characterized by containing (A) polyether imide resin, (B) thermoplastic resin, (C) fibrous reinforced filler and (D) Non-fibrous inorganic filler, wherein the amount of (A) polyether imide resin is 1 to 95% by weight, (B) thermoplastic resin: 1 to 95% by weight, (C) fibrous reinforced filler: 2 to 80% by weight, (D) Non-fibrous inorganic filler: 2 to 80% by weight, when total of (A) to (D) is 100% by weight. The filler reinforced polyether imide resin composition contains (A) polyether imide resin, (B) thermoplastic resin, (C) fibrous reinforced filler, (D) Non-fibrous inorganic filler and (E) alkali earth metal salts, wherein the amount of (A) polyether imide resin: 1 to 95% by weight, (B) thermoplastic resin: 1 to 95% by weight, (C) fibrous type reinforced filler: 2 to 80% by weight, (E) non-fibrous inorganic filler. 2 to 80% by weight, when total of (A) to (D) is 100% by weight, and (E) alkali earth metal salts are included in the amount of 0 to less than 5 parts by weight.
