Fire retardant or flame retardant additives are incorporated into thermoplastic, thermoset, and/or elastomeric polymer materials to form polymer compositions having improved fire retardant properties. More particularly, the polymer compositions of the present invention comprise additive compositions which have the effect of improving the FR effectiveness, the additive compositions comprising a mesoporous silicate additive. In addition, the polymer compositions of the present invention comprise additive compositions comprising a mesoporous silicate additive and a filler, wherein the filler is a flame retardant addition, an inert filler, or combinations thereof. |
