There is provided a sheet-form molding which is outstanding in fire
retardation and prevention of flame spread, exhibiting good fire
retardant and flame spread-preventive effects based on its good form
retention during combustion, and also outstanding in mechanical strength
and stability, particularly with a reduced incidence of necking and
shrinkage, thus insuring high dimensional accuracy in use and precision
in application. Particularly, there is provided a sheet-form molding
comprising a single layer or a plurality of layers, which has at least
one layer consisting essentially of formulating 0.1 to 100 weight parts
of a lamellar silicate, and 0.1 to 70 weight parts of a metal hydroxide
and/or 0.1 to 50 weight parts of a melamine derivative in each 100 weight
parts of a thermoplastic resin.
