However, those containing halogen flame retardants,
There are disadvantages in that a large amount of smoke is generated when the composition is combusted, and corrosive gas containing halogen is generated. On the other hand, products that contain metal hydrates have a low flame retardant effect, so they must be added in large amounts, which can lead to a decrease in mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation, and a decrease in cold resistance. This may cause inconvenience. The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances.

[Means for Solving the Problems and Their Effects] The characteristics of the present invention are as follows: 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin, 50 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic flame retardant, and 1 part by weight of zinc sulfide.
~10 parts by weight of the flame retardant composition. In other words, the flame retardance is improved by adding zinc sulfide. The polyolefin resins used in the present invention include low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), and high density polyethylene (HDP).
E), homopolymers of olefin monomers such as polypropylene, polybutene-1, polyisobutylene, poly4-methyl-1-pentene, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), etc. ), ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA
), ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR), ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (EPD), ethylene-butene-1-diene copolymer, ethylene-butene-1
Examples include copolymers, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers, copolymers containing olefin monomers such as ionomer resins as comonomers, and mixtures of two or more of these.In addition, in the case of mixtures, the mixing ratio is particularly limited. It is optional. In addition, the above-mentioned inorganic flame retardants include aluminum hydroxide,
Metal hydroxides such as magnesium hydroxide, clay, talc, alumina, silica, etc. are used, but metal hydroxides with a high flame retardant effect are preferably used. The amount of the inorganic flame retardant to be blended varies depending on the degree of flame retardancy required, but is usually 50 to 200 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin resin. If it is less than 50 parts by weight, the flame retardant effect will be insufficient, and if it exceeds 200 parts by weight, the mechanical properties etc. of the composition will rapidly deteriorate, resulting in disadvantages. Here, in the present invention, since flame retardancy is improved by adding zinc sulfide, the amount of this inorganic flame retardant may be relatively small, and for metal hydroxides, it may be about 100 parts by weight. A sufficient flame retardant effect can be obtained, and there is little deterioration in mechanical properties caused by the inorganic flame retardant formulation. In addition, the zinc sulfide used in the present invention is used to improve flame retardancy as described above, and its blending amount is 1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin resin.
Parts by weight. If it is less than 1 part by weight, a sufficient flame retardant effect cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, the degree of deterioration of the mechanical properties of the composition increases, which is disadvantageous. As described above, in the composition of the present invention, good flame retardancy can be obtained by adding the above-mentioned zinc sulfide, and at the same time, even higher flame retardance can be obtained by the presence of the inorganic flame retardant. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of inorganic flame retardant added, resulting in a composition that has high flame retardancy and is also excellent in mechanical properties, cold resistance, etc. Further, since no halogen-containing compound is present in the composition, no harmful corrosive combustion gas is generated during combustion. Further, it is also possible to use other flame retardants in combination with the flame retardant composition of the present invention, thereby providing a higher degree of flame retardancy. Examples of such flame retardants include carbon black and red phosphorus. Further, depending on the use of the composition, a halogen flame retardant may be added. Furthermore, desired amounts of various compounding agents such as inorganic fillers, softeners, colorants, anti-aging agents, antioxidants, and stabilizers may be added to the flame-retardant composition of the present invention, as necessary. is possible,
It is also possible to blend other resins. This flame-retardant composition is kneaded using ordinary kneading means such as high-speed stirrers and mixing rolls, and then molded into insulators and sheaths for electric wires and cables using molding machines such as extruders and injection molding machines. It is considered to be a resin molded product.
