Patent ID: 7495174

Claim:
A coated electric wire comprising a conductor and a coating layer covering the outer circumference of the conductor, wherein the coating layer has an outer layer comprising a halogen-free resin composition with a Shore D hardness of 50 or more and an inner layer comprising an olefin based flame retardant resin composition, the coating layer has a total thickness of 0.3 mm or less, the outer layer mentioned above contains oxide fillers, silicate fillers, antiaging agents, lubricants, plasticizers, or antistatic agents in an amount of 30 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer of the outer layer mentioned above, the layer thickness of the outer layer mentioned above is 5 to 50 μm, the inner layer mentioned above contains a metal hydrate in an amount of 60 to 140 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of a base polymer of the inner layer mentioned above, and, when letting X (μm) be the layer thickness of the outer layer mentioned above and Y(phr) be the amount of a flame retardant to be added to the inner layer mentioned above, the formula Y−40≧1.2X is satisfied.
