Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A flame resistant polymer composition comprising a mineral blend melt-mixed into a polymer matrix is described. The mineral blend comprises an alkaline earth carbonate, kaolin, and magnesium hydroxide. The polymer matrix may comprise ethylene-vinyl acetate and polyethylene, and dicumyl peroxide may also be added. The flame resistant polymer composition shows a UL94 flammability rating of V-0 or V-1, without containing halogens or aluminum hydroxide. The flame resistant polymer composition may be suitable as a wire coating, or for passive fire resistance in vehicles and buildings.
