ABSTRACT:
A flame retardant polymer composition which is substantially free of halogen compounds and of organometallic salts comprises (A) an organic polymer, at least 40% by weight of which is a copolymer of ethylene with one or more comonomers selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylates, alkyl methacrylates, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and vinyl acetate, (B) a silicone fluid or gum and (C) an inorganic filler which is a compound of a metal of Group II A of the Periodic Table of Elements but which is neither a hydroxide nor a substantially hydrated compound. Suitable inorganic fillers are magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, the latter being the most preferred. The compositions are particularly suitable for use in wire and cable applications.
