<p>A composition useful for forming wire and cable insulation includes particular amounts of a poly(arylene ether), a hydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene, a polyolefin, and a flame retardant. The flame retardant includes specific amounts of zinc borate, melamine cyanurate, and an organophosphate ester. The composition provides reduced cost and increased flexibility relative to known compositions using melamine polyphosphate and metal phosphinate flame retardants.</p> |
