abstract |
The invention concerns a novel cladded elongate substrate such as a jacketed cable, the cladding being flame retarded and comprising a vinyl acetate/alkene copolymer composition incorporating a halogen-free inorganic flame retardant. The composition is characterized by a high content of vinyl acetate and/or the presence of a polyalkene or alkene/alkene copolymer blended with the vinyl acetate/alkene copolymer. |
