- Abstract
- A non-drip, self-extinguishing composition comprises polyethylene, a halogenated organic flame retardant, ammonium fluoborate or ammonium sulfate, a metal compound synergist such as antimony trioxide, and silica. The flame retardant is ordinarily a halogenated aliphatic compound, i.e., a compound having halo substituents on aliphatic or cycloaliphatic carbon atoms.
