This paper makes an overall review on performance, cost, compoundability, and environmental compatibility of flame retardant chemicals used for commercial flame retardant impact polystyrene (FR‐HIPS) and flame retardant acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (FR‐ABS) resins. Commercially available, key bromine and chlorine chemicals along with antimony oxide are discussed with the typical formulations focusing on the overall advantage(s) and weakness(es) of each chemical.
