Patent ID: 8062747

Claim:
A flexible thermoplastic composition consisting essentially of: (i) a poly(arylene ether); (ii) a first polyolefin selected from the group consisting of polyolefin copolymers, high density polyethylenes and combinations thereof; (iii) a block copolymer comprising at least one block (A) comprising repeating aryl alkylene units and at least one block (B) comprising repeating alkylene units; (iv) a high density polyethylene comprising an acid anhydride functional group; (v) 8 to 40 weight percent of magnesium dihydroxide, based on the total weight of the composition, and (iv) an optional plasticizer, optional additive, or combination of two or more of the foregoing optional components wherein the composition comprises a continuous polyolefin phase, the combined polyolefin is present in an amount of 15 to 30 weight percent, based on the total weight of the composition, and the high density polyethylene comprising an acid anhydride functional group is present in an amount of 5 to 95 weight percent, relative to the combined amount of polyolefin.
