Patent ID: 8563131

Claim:
A thermoplastic composition comprising: poly(arylene ether) having an initial intrinsic viscosity greater than 0.25 dl/g as measured in chloroform at 25° C.; a polyolefin having a melt temperature greater than or equal to 120° C. and a melt flow rate of 0.3 to 15; a first block copolymer having a aryl alkylene content greater than or equal to 50 weight percent based on the total weight of the first block copolymer; a second block copolymer having an aryl alkylene content less than 50 weight percent based on the total weight of the second block copolymer; and a flame retardant selected from the group consisting of melamine, melamine cyanurate, melamine phosphate, melamine pyrophosphate, melamine polyphosphate, melam, melem, melon, zinc borate, boron phosphate, monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, alkyl phosphonates, metal dialkyl phosphinate, ammonium polyphosphates, low melting glasses and combinations of two or more of the foregoing flame retardants, wherein the poly(arylene ether) is present in an amount by weight greater than the amount of polyolefin by weight, and the composition comprises less than 0.1 weight percent polysiloxane.
