Abstract
Peroxide cross-linked polymeric compositions containing brominated flame retardants have reduced water absorption if an unsaturated co-agent is used to reduce the amount of peroxide needed to effect cross-linking. This makes it possible to replace part or all of the chlorinated flame retardants conventionally used and yet to obtain cross-linked compositions which meet the IPCEA water absorption requirements and can therefore be used for insulating electrical wire and cable.
