[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in a flame-retardant resin composition obtained by adding an inorganic flame retardant to an ethylene-acryl elastomer as described above, the composition is not crosslinked and cured immediately after molding. Thus, there has been a problem that the uncured molded product flows at room temperature and loses its shape (so-called cold flow).
Further, there is a problem that an improvement in tensile strength cannot be expected in the case of molding and curing such a resin composition.

The base resin composed of an acrylic elastomer and an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer contains 10 to 40% by weight of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer. If the content of the ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer is less than 10% by weight, a sufficient reinforcing effect cannot be obtained, and not only is the cold flow resistance inferior, but also the tensile strength is not improved. When the content of the ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer exceeds 40% by weight, extrusion processability and elongation are poor. The preferred content of the ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer is 20 to 30% by weight.

Aluminum hydroxide is added in an amount of 50 to 300 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base resin. If it is less than 50 parts by weight, sufficient flame retardancy cannot be provided. If it exceeds 300 parts by weight, extrusion processability, tensile strength, elongation, etc., will be reduced. The preferred amount of aluminum hydroxide is 100 base resin.
It is 60 to 150 parts by weight based on parts by weight.

Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 The components were blended in the proportions (parts by weight) shown in Table 1, kneaded, and then pressed at 170 ° C. for 25 minutes to form a sheet. A test piece was prepared from this sheet, and the flame retardancy, tensile strength and elongation were measured.

On the other hand, the composition of Comparative Example 1 was inferior in flame retardancy due to a small amount of aluminum hydroxide. Since the composition of Comparative Example 2 had a small amount of ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer,
Poor cold flow resistance and no improvement in tensile strength. The composition of Comparative Example 3 was inferior in extrusion moldability and elongation because the amount of the ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer was too large. Since the composition of Comparative Example 4 did not contain an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, the composition had poor cold flow resistance and did not improve tensile strength. Since the composition of Comparative Example 5 contained too much aluminum hydroxide, the extrusion processability, tensile strength, and elongation were reduced.
