Abstract
Flame retardant and abrasion resistant crosslinkable compositions useful as insulation for wire and cable are provided. The compositions contain an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl ester content of 5 to 12 wt. %, a halogenated compound, antimony trioxide and an organic peroxide. Use of specific halogenated compounds, particularly brominated aromatic compounds, with low vinyl acetate content ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers yield products which are highly resistant to abrasion after crosslinking.
