However, polyolefin itself is a flammable material, and in recent years,
When applying polyolefins in the aforementioned applications, safety,
Due to fire protection issues, it was necessary to provide polyolefin with a high degree of flame retardancy. To give an example of such a proposal, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 53-60944 proposes a combination of a polyethylene polymer, a mixture of a chlorine-containing flame retardant and a bromine-containing flame retardant in a specific ratio, and antimony trioxide. Polyolefin compositions have been shown that have achieved a high degree of flame retardancy through the use of flame retardants. Also, Japanese Patent Publication No. 53141353
The publication discloses a flame-retardant polyolefin composition in which a polyolefin copolymer is combined with a halogen-based flame retardant or a phosphorus-containing flame retardant, and specific amounts of antimony trioxide and aluminum hydroxide.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When the purpose is to use a flame-retardant polyolefin electric wire obtained by extruding and coating a conductor with a flame-retardant polyolefin composition and crosslinking the same as the insulated electric wire for internal wiring in equipment, This flame-retardant polyolefin composition must be highly flame-retardant, and must also have a high balance of heat resistance, mechanical strength, electrical properties, and material cost. 0 For example, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 52'-6094
Although it is true that the flame retardant technology according to Publication No. 4 can be used to obtain a composition that passes the vertical combustion test of U.S. UL Standard Suggest 758, the tensile properties of the resulting composition are not as specified in the U.S. UL Standard. Standard (1゜05Kg/mm2)
However, it cannot be said that it is completely satisfactory, considering the variation in tensile strength.
In addition, the flame retardant technology disclosed in JP-A No. 53-141353 mentioned above contains a large amount of aluminum hydroxide, and the problem to be solved by the invention in JP-A No. 60-252646 is also included. As described above, flame-retardant compositions obtained by blending a large amount of aluminum hydroxide with polyolefin generally have the disadvantage of causing deterioration in tensile properties, processability, etc., and easily resulting in poor appearance of molded products. are doing.

In this way, if conventional flame retardant methods are simply applied, insufficient flame retardancy may be obtained, mechanical strength may decrease, or material costs may increase due to the combination of large amounts of expensive flame retardants. It had the disadvantage that it was difficult to balance the characteristics, such as causing a stir. In other words, within the scope of conventional technology, when trying to obtain advanced flame retardant properties by blending flame retardants into polyolefin base resins, it is easy to lose the balance with other properties such as mechanical properties and heat resistance, and therefore the base resin For IS, we had to find a material that has excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance, and which itself has properties that make it easier to make it flame retardant by adding flame retardants.As for flame retardants, we had to find a combination that would be effective with a smaller amount. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have balanced the flame retardant properties of polyolefin, which is inexpensive and easy to extrude coat, with other properties, while reducing material costs. As a result of various studies to improve the improvement without causing a significant increase, we found that 5 to 5 parts by weight of a halogenated organic flame retardant was added to 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin composition containing 40% by weight or less of a vinyl acetate component.
By blending 80 parts by weight, 3 to 50 parts by weight of a flame retardant aid, and 3 to 100 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide, the flame retardant property of the polyolefin composition is balanced with other properties. They discovered a polyolefin composition and completed the present invention.

As the halogen-based organic flame retardant of the present invention, commonly commercially available ones are used as is, and chlorine-based flame retardants such as perchlorpentacyclodecane, dodecachlorooctahydrodimethanodibenzocyclooctene, and dodecachlorooctahydrodimethanodibenzofuran are used. Organic flame retardants, brominated organic flame retardants such as decabromophenoxybenzenetetradecabromo p-phenoxydiphenyl ether and hexabromocyclododecane are used, and preferably brominated organic flame retardants that can obtain a high flame retardant effect with a relatively small amount are used. used. The amount used is 5 parts per 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin composition.
~80 parts by weight. If it is less than 5 parts by weight, the flame retardance is insufficient, and if it exceeds 80 parts by weight, a decrease in mechanical strength and a blooming phenomenon occur, which is not only undesirable but also increases costs.
