Described herein are novel compositions consisting of a mixture of flame retardants for thermoplastic polyester elastomers, based on phosphinate salts, phosphonate oligomers, polymers or copolymers and optionally melamine derivatives. The composition shows good combination of processing, thermal and mechanical properties, and the composition is a flame retardant. Also described are articles of manufacture made from such materials, such as fibers, films, coated substrates, molded articles, foams, fiber reinforced articles, or any combination thereof. |
