Surface whitening preventing flame-retardant olefin polymer composition

A flame-retardant olefin polymer composition comprising:

• 100 parts by weight of a resin component principally of:
• a) 99-60% by weight of a polyolefin resin, and
• b) 1-40% by weight of an olefin polymer modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof;
• c) 5-200 parts by weight of a flame retardant;
• and
• d) at least one component selected from the group consisting of:
• (i) a mineral oil, a wax, a paraffin,
• (ii) a higher fatty acid or an ester, amide or metallic salt thereof,
• (iii) a silicone;
• and
• (iv) a partial fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol or aliphatic alcohol-, fatty acid-, aliphatic amino-, fatty acid amide-, alkylphenol- or alkylnaphthol-ethylene oxide adduct,
• wherein the total amount of components (i)-(iv) present is within the range of from 0.5 to 6 parts by weight.
