Patent ID: 8901426

Claim:
A flame-retardant cable comprising at least one conductor and at least one conductor and at least one coating made from a flame-retardant composition, said composition being a mixture of at least the following components: (a) from 5 to 25% by weight of at least one crystalline propylene homopolymer or copolymer; (b) from 50 to 90% by weight of at least one copolymer of ethylene with at least one C 3 -C 12 alpha-olefin, having a density of from 0.860 to 0.904 g/cm 3 and a Molecular Weight Distribution Index not higher than 5; (c) from 5 to 30% by weight of at least one ethylene homopolymer or copolymer of ethylene with at least one C 3 -C 12 alpha-olefin having a density of from 0.905 to 0.970 g/cm 3 ; and (d) from 80 to 300% by weight at least one halogen-free flame-retardant filler selected from hydroxides, hydrated oxides, and hydrated salts of metals, the percentage being based on the total on the weight of the polymeric components (a), (b) and (c).
