Abstract
Abstract An oil-resistant, fire-resistant polymer composition is disclosed which is useful in coating electrical conductors. The composition comprises a block copolymer, extending oil, polymeric alpha-olefin, filler and fire retardant package comprising antimony trioxide, an adduct of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and a zinc borate.
