Abstract
Abstract A composition comprising: (i) a thermoplastic resin; (ii) an inorganic flame retardant; (iii) a copolymer of ethylene and either 1-hexene or 1-octene, said copolymer having been modified with a unsaturated organic compound containing at least one carboxylate group; and (iv) optionally, a copolymer of ethylene and one or more alpha-olefins having a crystallinity of less than about 40 percent by weight.
