Abstract

A halogen-free, fire-resistant rubber composition comprising: 100 parts by weight of elastomer comprising 50-100 parts of at least one olefin-type elastomer; at least one fire-retardant boron source; at least one phosphorous source; at least 75 parts of at least one fire-retardant metal-hydrate; and at least one selected from the group consisting of a fire-retardant nitrogen compound and a nitrile-containing elastomer. The composition is suitable for use in fire-resistant, low-smoke hose. The hose may be used in fluid-handling systems requiring flame resistance and/or low smoke generation in fire.
