Flame retardant compositions useful as insulation for 150.degree. C.-rated
wire and cable applications are provided. The compositions of the
invention utilize an ethylene-alkyl acrylate copolymer base resin with a
two-component stabilizer package consisting of a zinc salt of a
mercaptobenzimidazole and an aromatic secondary amine compound. Also,
included to achieve the requisite flame retardance, crosslinkability and
physical properties are a brominated flame retardant, antimony trioxide, a
hydrated inorganic filler and a chemical crosslinking agent.
