Definitions

• the present invention relates to a flame-retardant styrenic resin composition for producing a plastic molded article used in a field where flame retardancy is required. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flame-retardant styrenic resin composition containing a small amount of metal phthalocyanine, which enhances the flame-retardant effect of a brominated flame retardant, so that a high flame-retardant effect can be obtained with a relatively small amount of addition.
