LSZH Flame Retardant Sheath for Optical Cables

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-smoke, halogen-free, flame-retardant sheath layer for an optical cable. The flame-retardant sheath layer is composed of the following components by weight: 65-75 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, 20-30 parts of high-pressure metallocene polyethylene, 10-20 parts of special modified polyethylene, 70 parts of aluminum hydroxide ~110 parts, 20~30 parts of magnesium hydroxide, 2~5 parts of silicone masterbatch, 1~3 parts of polyethylene wax, 30~50 parts of flow agent, 0.15~0.45 parts of antioxidant, 2~5 parts of black masterbatch share. The invention solves the problem of making the outer diameter of the optical cable uniform, thereby ensuring the shrinkage integrity of the optical cable core, and the signal will not be greatly attenuated during the transmission process; at the same time, the tensile strength of the cable is ≥ 13 MPa, and the elongation at break is ≥ 250%. Oxygen index ≥ 34%, with excellent mechanical properties.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flame-retardant sheath layer, in particular to a low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant sheath layer for optical cables. Background technique [0002] With the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection and safety, the requirements for cable sheathing materials are getting higher and higher. Not only must they have excellent physical and mechanical properties, but they must also have high flame retardancy. According to relevant literature statistics, In the fire, the vast majority of people did not burn to death, but lost the chance of escape due to suffocation caused by a large amount of smoke and toxic gas, and finally lost their lives. Therefore, low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant polyolefin cable compound is gradually replacing traditional PVC cable sheath compound as an environmentally friendly product. Since the "first year of China's FTTH" in 2008, China Telecom and other domestic operators have...
