  • Publication number: 20170152368
    Abstract: Provided is a resin composition including a polycarbonate and a phosphorus-containing compound, wherein a content rate of the phosphorus-containing compound in the resin composition is less than 14 percent by mass, wherein the phosphorus-containing compound includes a phosphazene derivative represented by general formula (1) below and a phosphoric acid ester, wherein a content rate of the phosphazene derivative in the resin composition is 0.1 percent by mass or greater but less than 3.0 percent by mass, and wherein a resin specific gravity (D0) of the resin composition before burned in a UL94V test and a resin specific gravity (D1) of the resin composition after burned in the UL94V test satisfy a relationship of D1/D0>0.85, where in general formula (1), R1 and R2 each independently represent an aromatic ring-containing group free of a halogen atom, and m represents any of from 3 through 8.

  • Publication number: 20140249255
    Abstract: A flame retardant resin composition, containing a thermoplastic resin and a flame retardant, wherein the flame retardant contains a nitrogen-containing structure-introduced phosphorylated lignin derivative, wherein the nitrogen-containing structure-introduced phosphorylated lignin derivative is produced by introducing a nitrogen-containing structure into a lignin derivative and adding a phosphoric acid to the lignin derivative, or by adding a phosphoric acid to a lignin derivative and introducing a nitrogen-containing structure into the lignin derivative, or by introducing a nitrogen-containing structure into and adding a phosphoric acid to a lignin derivative simultaneously, and wherein the lignin derivative is obtained by subjecting a naturally occurring lignin to a treatment for allowing the naturally occurring lignin to be decomposed into small molecules or to be water-soluble.
