  • Publication number: 20160152801
    Abstract: A polymer composition for use in a molded part is provided. The composition comprises a highly flowable, liquid crystalline polymer blended with a relatively small amount of an inorganic filler (e.g., glass fibers, mineral filler, etc.). Although the composition contains only a small amount of the filler, the resulting molded part can still exhibited improved flammability performance. More particularly, the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that the use of an organophosphorous compound within a certain concentration can improve the flammability properties of the composition without sacrificing other properties of the part, such as blister resistance.
