Abstract: A resin composition consisting of: (1) 100 parts by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate resin; (2) 0.008 to 0.13 part by weight of an alkali metal salt of a perfluoroalkylsulfonic acid having a fluoride ion content measured by ion chromatography of 0.2 to 1 ppm in terms of weight based on the weight of component B; and (3) 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of silicone having a Si—H group and a phenyl group. A process of manufacturing the resin composition and a method of preventing the melt dripping during combustion of the resin composition. The flame retardancy of the above aromatic polycarbonate resin composition comprising the fluorine-containing organic metal salt compound is improved.

Abstract: A resin composition comprising: (1) 100 parts by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate resin (component A); (2) 0.005 to 0.6 part by weight of a fluorine-containing organic metal salt having a fluoride ion content measured by ion chromatography of 0.2 to 20 ppm in terms of weight (component B); and (3) at least one component selected from the group consisting of a flame retardant (component C), a fatty acid ester (component D), an ultraviolet light absorber (component E), polytetrafluoroethylene having fibril formability (component F), a filler (component G), a silicate mineral (component H) and a titanium dioxide pigment (component I). A process of manufacturing the resin compositon and a method of preventing the melt dripping during combustion of the resin composition. The flame retardancy of the above aromatic polycarbonate resin composition comprising the fluorine-containing organic metal salt compound is improved.
