Patent ID: 7279520

Claim:
A flame retardant, halogen-free polymer composition comprising a blend of the following components: (1) a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of (a) an ethylene vinyl acetate containing 25-90% by weight ethylene and 10-75% by weight vinyl acetate, (b) a linear low density polyethylene, (c) a low density polyethylene, (d) a very low density polyethylene, (e) a high density polyethylene, and mixtures thereof; (2) a coupling agent comprising (f) from about 10 to about 50 by weight of a copolymer consisting of copolymerized ethylene and monoethyl maleate (EMAME) and (g) from about 50% by weight to about 90% by weight of an ethylene-based polymer; and (3) an inorganic flame retardant filler.
