Patent ID: 7084347

Claim:
An electrical wire comprising: a conductor; and a covering disposed over the conductor wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic composition and the thermoplastic composition comprises: (i) a poly(arylene ether); (ii) a polyolefin; (iii) a block copolymer; and (iv) a flame retardant wherein the electrical wire has an abrasion resistance of greater than 100 cycles, as determined by the scrape abrasion specification of ISO 6722 using a 7 Newton load, a needle having a 0.45 millimeter diameters, and an electrical wire having a conductor with a cross sectional area of 0.22 square millimeters and a covering with a thickness of 0.2 millimeters, and wherein the thermoplastic composition has a tensile elongation at break greater than 30% as determined by ASTM D638-03 using a Type I specimen and a speed of 50 millimeters per minute, and a flexural modulus less than 1800 Megapascals (Mpa) as determined by ASTM D790-03 using a speed of 1.27 millimeters per minute.
