Conventionally, this flame-retardant resin composition has mainly been made by blending halogen-containing resins such as polyvinyl chloride, chloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene, fluorine-based resins, or ethylene-based resins with a halogen-based flame-retardant side. things are used. Therefore, these flame-retardant resin compositions generate halogen-based gases such as hydrogen chloride when burned, which causes problems such as corroding equipment or being harmful to the human body. Ta. Therefore, there is a need for a resin composition that does not emit harmful gases such as halogen gases when burned in a fire (and has excellent flame retardancy).

From this point of view, resin compositions in which non-halogen-containing resins such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers are blended with inorganic flame retardants such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide have recently been used. When the material burns, it emits crystal water and reduces the combustion heat in the system, improving flame retardancy.

(JP 62-186411) However, although this flame-retardant resin composition has excellent drip properties during combustion, it generates a high degree of smoke during combustion and is difficult to use, for example, by the non-flaming method using the NBS smoke tester. When evaluated, D
m (maximum specific optical density) was 150 or more, and could not be used practically. It is also possible to mix a large amount of the above-mentioned inorganic flame retardant in order to reduce this smoke-emitting property, but if a large amount of aluminum hydroxide is mixed, the viscosity of the resin composition becomes high and extrusion molding becomes difficult. Become. In addition, when magnesium compounds such as magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate are used in inorganic flame retardant materials, even if a small amount is added, the magnesium ions will chemically interact with the cross-linked side of the base material ethylene and acrylic elastomer. This has the disadvantage that it binds to other materials and promotes scorch or reduces mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation.

Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention contains aluminum hydroxide in order to impart flame retardancy, which is the main objective, but the reason why the amount of aluminum hydroxide is limited to 50 to 150 parts by weight as described above is as follows. If the amount is less than 50 parts by weight, sufficient flame retardance cannot be achieved, and if it exceeds 150 parts by weight, the viscosity of the resin composition increases and it becomes difficult to perform extrusion molding. .

Further, the fine particulate phenol formaldehyde resin is added to suppress smoke generation when the resin composition is burned, and also provides flame retardancy, and the amount added is limited to 5 to 50 parts by weight. The reason for this is that if the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, it will not be possible to reduce the smoke-emitting property, which will cause a practical problem. If the amount exceeds 50 parts by weight, mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation will deteriorate.
