A composition containing a specific amount of poly(phenylene ether), a hydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic monomer and a conjugated diene, a flame retardant comprising an organophosphate ester having a melting point of 60-150° C., and UV absorbers. The high melting point organophosphate allows reducing the content of the UV absorber, which in turn reduces color shift under storage conditions. The compositions are suitable for use as insulation and sheathing materials for wires and cables. |
