Abstract

A flame retardant composition comprising PA1 (A) about 50 to about 95 percent by weight of at least one ethylene co-polymer selected from an ethylene/vinyl ester copolymer; ethylene/alpha, beta unsaturated carboxylate copolymer; and very low density ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer; and PA1 (B) about 5 to about 50 percent by weight of an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer having been prepared with a single site catalyst, and, for each 100 parts by weight of component (A) and component (B) combined, PA1 (C) about 2 to about 50 parts by weight of a polyethylene modified with a functional group containing compound; PA1 (D) about 5 to about 250 parts by weight of a metal hydrate; PA1 (E) about 1 to about 12 parts by weight of a triazine ring containing compound; and PA1 (F) about 0.5 to about 5 parts by weight of a flame retardant compound selected from the group consisting of a boron compound, a molybdenum compound, and a silicone.
