The present invention provides a resin composition that simultaneously (1) supports high productivities, (2) is resistant to bleed out by the flame retardant present in the composition, (3) is resistant to migration of its components to another resin, (4) exhibits a high flame retardancy, and (5) exhibits high flexibility. The resin composition includes components (A) a polyphenylene ether, (B) a hydrogenated copolymer, (C) a styrene resin and/or olefin resin, and (D) a metal phosphinate, wherein the component (B) includes (B1) a polymer block principally comprising an aromatic vinyl monomer unit, and (B2) a hydrogenated copolymer block principally comprising an aromatic vinyl monomer unit and a conjugated diene monomer unit, and a content of the aromatic vinyl monomer unit in the (B2) is 20 to 95% by weight, and a content of the aromatic vinyl monomer unit in the (B) is 35 to 80% by weight. |
