The invention relates to the technical field of optical cable sheath materials, and discloses a preparation process of a weather-resistant
flame-retardant sheath material and an optical cable thereof. 100 parts by weight of
ethylene-
vinyl acetate copolymer EVA resin, 15-30 parts by weight of methyl vinyl
silicone rubber, 2-8 parts by weight of an EVA-based
phosphorus-containing
silicone oil
flame retardant, 0.3-0.5 part by weight of a vulcanizing agent and the like are added into a torque
rheometer for mixing; and then performing open milling, batch-out, thin passing, triangular packaging and
vulcanization to obtain the weather-resistant
flame-retardant sheath material. According to the EVA-based
phosphorus-containing
silicone oil flame retardant disclosed by the invention, a trioxa-
phosphorus-heterobicyclic structure and polysiloxane contained in the EVA-based phosphorus-containing
silicone oil flame retardant form a phosphorus-
silicon flame-retardant
system, so that the limit
oxygen index of a sheath material is increased, the heat release rate
peak value and the total heat release amount are reduced, and the flame retardant property is very good. And meanwhile, the EVA sheath material shows relatively high tensile strength and elongation at break, and has better mechanical properties.
