This invention belongs to the field of
flame retardant technology, specifically a novel
halogen-free
phosphorus-
nitrogen synergistic
flame retardant for optical cable materials. By weight, it comprises: 35-50 parts of a
phosphorus-based
flame retardant main agent, 25-40 parts of a
nitrogen-based flame retardant main agent, 5-15 parts of a synergistic
enhancer, 3-8 parts of a compatibility modifier, 2-5 parts of an anti-exudation agent, and 1-3 parts of a heat stabilizer; the
phosphorus-based flame retardant main agent is a compound of
halogen-free organophosphorus compounds and
inorganic phosphorus compounds; the
nitrogen-based flame retardant main agent is a compound of
melamine derivatives and low-free-
formaldehyde urea-
formaldehyde resin; and the synergistic
enhancer is a compound of nano-
magnesium hydroxide and organically modified
montmorillonite. The flame retardant of this invention is
halogen-free and
environmentally friendly, complies with international and domestic environmental regulations, has high flame retardant efficiency, and can achieve UL94 V-0 rating for optical cable materials with an addition of 15%-20%. It also has good compatibility with optical cable material substrates, excellent
thermal stability, and controllable cost, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production. It can be widely used in the flame retardant modification of optical cable sheaths and insulation
layers in densely populated indoor places such as office buildings and residences.
