  • Flame retardant thermoplastic elastomer
    Patent number: 8987597
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composition which includes a thermoplastic elastomer and a flame retardant composed of a metal hydrate and an oligomeric phosphate ester. The weight ratio of metal hydrate to oligomeric phosphate ester is greater than 1.45:1. The composition may be a component of an article such as a coated wire or a coated cable, with the composition present in the coating.
