The present invention addresses the problem of enhancing the fluidity of a polybutylene terephthalate resin composition that uses a halogenated benzyl acrylate-based flame retardant as a flame retardant while maintaining properties such as excellent mechanical strength that a polybutylene terephthalate-based resin possesses. The problem is solved by adding a protic compound to the polybutylene terephthalate resin composition that uses a halogenated benzyl acrylate-based flame retardant as a flame retardant.

The present invention generally relates to processes for converting an ester group to an acid group for polymers having a pendant ester of an acid group. This process is generally performed using an aqueous strong base.
