Disclosed is a flame-retardant resin composition forninsulated wires, shielded wires and insulating tubes whichnare used in the field requiring high-frequency currentntransmission, for example, in the field of high-densitynwiring of internal circuits in electronic appliances. Thencomposition comprises (a) a thermoplastic polyolefinic resinnhaving a density of smaller than 0.89, which is prepared byncopolymerizing ethylene and a non-polar α-olefin in thenpresence of a single-site metallocene catalyst, (b) anhalogen-containing flame retardant, and (c) zinc oxide.nAfter crosslinking, the composition is used in forming anninsulating coating for insulated wires and shielded wires,nand in forming insulating tubes. |
