Abstract
The following sections concern the use of a chlorinated flame retardant (CFR) in plastics. CFR consists of the Diels-Alder adduct of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and 1,5-cyclo-octadiene. Some experimental results are given, without the proposal of any mechanisms, which exemplify the flame retardancy improvements obtainable by various synergistic combinations.
