FLAME RETARDANT, FLAME-RETARDANT RESIN COMPOSITION, AND INSULATED WIRE

摘要

A flame retardant, a flame-retardant resin composition and an insulated wire that have an excellent low-temperature property and cold-resistance property, and high manufacturability. The flame retardant contains magnesium hydroxide that is obtained by chemical synthesis, and a surface treatment agent that contains an organic polymer having a melting point of 150° C. or more, with the surface treatment agent, a surface of the magnesium hydroxide being treated. The flame-retardant resin composition contains the flame retardant and a resin that is a base material. The insulated wire is prepared by covering and insulating a conductor with the flame-retardant resin composition.
