Flame retardant additives based on alumina trihydrate and ethylene polymer compositions, containing same, having improved flame retardant properties.

摘要

Flame retardant additive comprising alumina trihydrate and a methyl hydrogen polysiloxane which when added to ethylene polymers provide compositions which have improved flame retardant properties, have reduced gas evolution, do not drip or give off noxious gases on burning and are particularly useful as jacketing material about wire and cables.
