Abstract
Bromobiphenols comprising 2,2' ,6,6'-tetraalkyl-3,3',5,5'-tetrabromo-1,1'-biphenols and derivatives thereof are employed as fire-retardant additives for normally flammable resins yielding fire-retardant polymeric compositions. These fire-retardant compositions are thermally stable and can be molded or formed into fire-retardant articles, such as films, sheeting, fibers, laminates, or reinforced plastics by conventional techniques.
