A flame-retardant resin composition containing a base resin composed of polyethylene and an acid-modified polyolefin, aluminum hydroxide, a silicone compound, and a fatty acid-containing compound is disclosed. In this flame-retardant resin composition, the density of the polyethylene is 912.4 kg/m 3 or less, the content rate of the polyethylene in the base resin is 80% by mass or more and 99% by mass or less, the content rate of the acid-modified polyolefin in the base resin is 1% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less, the aluminum hydroxide is blended at a proportion of 5 parts by mass or more and 190 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the base resin, the silicone compound is blended at a proportion of 1.5 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the base resin, and the fatty acid-containing compound is blended at a proportion of 5 parts by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the base resin. |
