The composition contains a certain amount of poly (phenylene ether), a hydrogenated block copolymer of alkenyl aromatic monomers and conjugated dienes, a flame retardant comprising an organophosphate ester having a melting point of 60 to 150 ° C. and an ultraviolet absorber. The high melting organophosphate esters allow for a reduction in the ultraviolet absorbent content, which in turn reduces the color change under storage conditions. The composition is useful as an insulating material and a jacket material for wires and cables. |
