[Prior Art] Polyolefins, which have excellent electrical insulation properties, have been widely used as insulating materials and sheath materials for electric wires and cables. A recent trend is that electric wires and cables for nuclear power plants, electric wires and cables for vehicles, and electric wires and cables for ships are required to have a high degree of flame retardancy at the level of the vertical tray combustion test.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, inorganic flame retardants have a small flame retardant effect, so if they are simply mixed into a polymer, a drip phenomenon in which they melt and drip during combustion is observed, resulting in a high degree of flame retardancy. It's difficult to do. Although it is effective to add a large amount of inorganic flame retardant to impart a high degree of flame retardancy, it causes problems such as deterioration of the tensile properties of the resulting insulator and sheath and deterioration of extrusion processability. There is.
