A curable epoxy composition suitable for surface application, comprising one or more epoxy resin (s); 2, 4, 6-tribromophenyl end-capped tetrabromobisphenol A epoxy-based flame retardant; and phosphorus-containing compound selected from the group consisting of one or more of: ammonium polyphosphate; resorcinol bis (diphenyl phosphate); and liquid alkylated triphenyl phosphate ester. The composition is substantially Sb.sub.2O.sub.3-free.

A thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention comprises: a polycarbonate resin; a rubber-modified vinyl-based graft copolymer; a large particle size rubbery polymer having an average particle size of about 400 to about 1,500 nm; an aromatic vinyl-based copolymer resin; a phosphorus-based flame retardant; talc; wollastonite; a maleic anhydride grafted rubbery polymer; and a black pigment. The thermoplastic resin composition is superior in terms of adhesion to metal, strength, flame retardancy, fluidity, and appearance.

Pressure sensitive adhesives and tapes having flame-retardant properties include a substrate layer and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the substrate layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive is a UV-cured composition of a curable composition. The curable composition includes a polymerizable (meth)acrylate-based mixture, a polymerizable aromatic (meth)acrylate oligomer, a liquid flame retarding agent, and at least one UV initiator. The UV-cured composition is an optically clear pressure sensitive adhesive with flame retarding properties.

The application discloses cellulose ester compositions comprising two or more miscible blends of cellulose ester each comprising a plurality of propionyl substituents having tunable rheology and physical properties not achievable by any one of the cellulose esters alone. These cellulose ester compositions can be further processed, with or without other materials such as plasticizers, flame retardants, and blowing agents, and converted into articles. These cellulose ester compositions have higher modulus and have low to no butyryl/butyric acid content relative to cellulose acetate butyrate (“CAB”) cellulose ester compositions made from CABs having a butyryl content of greater than 30 wt %.
