Low smoke halogen free flame retardant thermoplastic vulcanizate compositions containing zeolites

Abstract:

Halogen-free flame retardant compositions comprising thermoplastic vulcanizates, which exhibit desired flame retardance and low-smoke emission. These flame retardant compositions comprise a) one or more thermoplastic vulcanizates, and b) from at or about 18 to at or about 50 weight percent, the weight percentage being based on the total weight of the flame retardant composition, of a flame retardant mixture comprising: b1) at least one flame retardant comprising a phosphinate, diphosphinate and/or polymers thereof, b2) a phosphorous-containing amino composition, and b3) a zeolite.
