Abstract

Flame retardant polyester compositions are prepared by incorporating into a polymer from 1-20% by weight of a flame retardant having the structural formula: ##STR1## where Ar is aryl and R and R' are independently alkylene. This class of flame retardant shows high temperature stability and permits incorporation of the flame retardant into the polyester by hot milling at temperatures up to about 390.degree. C.
