Abstract

Normally flammable synthetic polymers selected from the group consisting of polyester resins, polyamide resins, cellulosic resins, polyolefins and their substituted derivatives, vinyl aryl compounds, polycarbonate resins, polyurethane resins and mixtures of the foregoing are rendered flame retardant by incorporating therein a flame retardant amount of polyphosphazene having the general formula: ##STR1## WHERE N IS AT LEAST 10, R and R' may be the same or different and represent aryl groups, y and y' may be the same or different and represent halogen and halogen substituted and unsubstituted lower alkyl (e.g., 1 to 10 carbon atoms), aryl, alkoxy, and aryloxy groups, and m = 0 to 10.
