A resin composition including an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin as a resin component, an imidazole compound, a phenol compound, and a thioether compound as an antioxidant, and a bromine compound and an antimony compound as a flame retardant. The resin composition has a content of the imidazole compound of 14 to 24 parts by mass, a content of the phenol compound of 1.0 to 2.0 parts by mass, a content of the thioether compound of 0.3 to 0.9 parts by mass, a content of the bromine compound of 15 to 30 parts by mass, and a content of the antimony compound of 5 to 15 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of a total content of the resin component in the resin composition.

A flat cableaccording to the invention has a plurality of arrayed conductors; and an insulating layercovering the periphery of the conductorswith a coating film, in which the insulating layerincludes a plurality of layers, the outermost layerof the insulating layerand the innermost layercontacting the conductors are both formed from polyphenylene sulfide-based resins, and the melting point of the polyphenylene sulfide-based resin constituting the innermost layeris lower by 5&#xb0; C. or more than the melting point of the polyphenylene sulfide-based resin constituting the outermost layer

In a flexible tube for fluid transport, a resin layer is on the outer periphery of an interlocked tube for shielding the fluid flowing within the interlocked tube. An internal-pressure-resistant reinforcing layer is on the outer periphery of the resin layer for reinforcing primarily against internal pressure, etc. of the fluid flowing within the interlocked tube. An axial-force reinforcing layer is on the outer periphery of the internal-pressure-resistant reinforcing layer for primarily suppressing the interlocked tube from deforming in the axial direction of the flexible tube. The axial-force reinforcing layer is formed from alternately winding two layers of reinforcing strips with a long pitch. The reinforcing strips are each configured from a metal strip, a resin layer that covers the strip, and the like. The resin layer is resin to which a microparticulate sulfide-trapping material has been added.
