The invention provides a flame-retardant thermoplastic resin composition compounded with a flame-retardant powder which, in addition to the excellent dispersibility in resins and excellent flame retardancy imparted to the resin, can reduce the amount of low molecular weight siloxanes emitted from the resin to 10 ppm or smaller, along with a flame-retardant resin composition by compounding with this flame-retardant powder. This flame-retardant powder is prepared by treating the surface of an inorganic flame-retardant powder under pressurization with an organopolysiloxane represented by the average structural formula given below and having a mass-average molecular weight of 100,000 to 3,500,000, wherein said organopolysiloxane contains not more than 2,000 ppm of low molecular weight siloxanes having from 2 to 10 silicon atoms per molecule, as determined by extraction with acetone and wherein the amount of said organopolysiloxane is 0.1 to 30 mass% relative to the mass of the inorganic flame-retardant powder:
(in formula (1), each R1 is a substituent independently selected from C1 to C10 monovalent hydrocarbon groups and hydroxyl group and n is a number that provides the organopolysiloxane with a mass-average molecular weight of 100,000 to 3,500,000).
本发明提供了一种与阻燃粉末共混的阻燃热塑性树脂组合物,该阻燃粉末除了在树脂中具有优异的分散性和赋予树脂优异的阻燃性之外,还能将树脂中释放的低分子量硅氧烷量降至 10ppm 或更低,同时还提供了一种通过与该阻燃粉末共混而得到的阻燃树脂组合物。这种阻燃粉末的制备方法是,在无机阻燃粉末表面加压处理一种有机聚硅氧烷,有机聚硅氧烷的平均结构式如下,其质量平均分子量为 100,000 至 3,500,000 ,其中所述有机聚硅氧烷含有不超过 2,000 ppm 的低分子量硅氧烷,根据丙酮萃取法测定,每个分子中含有 2 至 10 个硅原子,其中所述有机聚硅氧烷的含量为树脂的 0.相对于无机阻燃剂粉末的质量,所述有机聚硅氧烷的用量为 0.1 至 30%:
(在式 (1) 中,每个 R1 是独立选自 C1 至 C10 单价烃基和羟基的取代基,n 是使有机聚硅氧烷的质量平均分子量为 100,000 至 3,500,000 的数字)。
