Abstract
A polystyrene resin composition comprising a rubber-reinforced polystyrene, a fibrous potassium titanate and a higher fatty acid and/or its metal salt in specific proportions. The composition exhibits greatly improved stiffness without sacrificing its excellent impact strength, melt flowability and good appearance. The composition is useful as a material for manufacturing large-sized molded articles, such as parts and housings for large-sized TV sets and frames for air conditioners. The composition may further comprise a fire retardant and a carbon fiber in specific proportions. The resultant fire-retardant composition is not only excellent in the above-mentioned properties of mechanical strength but also exhibits excellent fire retardance and, therefore, is advantageously used as a material for manufacturing the above-mentioned articles especially when the articles are required to have high fire retardance.
