The present invention relates to a halogen-free flame retardant composition. In order to provide a flame retardant composition which is readily incorporated into various plastics, is well compatible with the polymer matrix and has a good flame retardancy without significantly affecting the mechanical and electrical properties of the plastic, it is proposed according to the invention that the flame retardant composition comprises at least one component a) selected from the group consisting of nitrogen bases, melamine derivatives, phosphates, pyrophosphates, polyphosphates, organic and inorganic phosphinates, organic and inorganic phosphonates and derivatives of the abovementioned compounds, and at least one component b) selected from phosphorus-containing polyesters obtained by reacting phosphorus-containing monomers with one another and / or or with ester-forming monomers are obtainable. |
