Bromostyrene was used as partial replacement of styrene for crosslinking polyester resins. The oxidative stability of the polymer was studied and the performance in standard flammability tests was tested. It was shown that flame retardation increased linearly with the Br content. Under certain conditions, self‐extinguishing polyesters were obtained.
