Stabilized flame retardant polymer compositions containing a hydrated metal compound, e.g., a metal hydroxide, as a flame retardant, when added an effective stabilizing amount of an amine oxide, a hydroxyl amine or mixtures thereof, exhibit desirable physical characteristics of pure polymers due to the stabilizer additives, including excellent color stability, while attaining desirable fire-retardance standards. n 4 . The stabilized flame retardant composition of claim 3 , wherein said polymer resin is one of a polypropylene, polyethylene, Polypropylene blends, e.g. thermoplastic olefin (TPO), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). |
