1. A flame retardant comprising:
an aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound having the mean composition formula R1mR2nSiO(4-m-n)/2 in which
R1 represents a univalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
R2 represents a univalent aromatic hydrocarbon group containing 6 to 24 carbon atoms,
R1 and R2 each may contain two or more species, and
m and n are numbers satisfying the mathematical relationships 1.1≤m+n≤1.7 and 0.4≤n/m≤2.5, wherein the aromatic group-containing organosiloxane compound comprises Q unit (SiO2) as an essential unit or consists of M unit (R3SiO0.5) and T unit (RSiO1.5);
said compound being non-flowable at 23° C., flowable at 200° C., non-gelatable when at 200° C. and stirred for 30 minutes;
and
said compound having a number average molecular weight of not less than 2,000 and being dissolvable in an amount of not less
than 100 g in one liter of a toluene solvent at a temperature of 23° C.
