Abstract: LOW VOLTAGE POWER CABLES A flame retardant composition comprising: (i) a linear polyethylene having a density equal to or less than 0.915 gram per cubic centimeter; (ii) a linear polyethylene having a density in the range of 0.916 to 0.925 gram per cubic centimeter, grafted with an unsaturated aliphatic diacid anhydride, said polyethylene being present in an amount of about 40 to about 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of component (i); and (iii) magnesium hydroxide, surface treated with an organic phosphate ester or a salt thereof in an amount of about 0.1 to about 4 parts by weight of ester per 100 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide, said magnesium hydroxide being present in an amount of about 90 to about 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of component (i).
