Flame retardant cables are an essential component in ensuring fire safety in both residential and commercial properties. These cables are specifically designed to resist the spread of fire and minimize its impact on the property and its occupants. By choosing flame retardant cables, property owners can significantly reduce the risk of fire-related incidents and protect their assets and lives. These cables provide numerous benefits, including fire prevention, reduced smoke emission, enhanced safety, compliance with regulations, and long-term reliability.
PVC insulated wire and cable is a widely used power transmission equipment with good electrical properties, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength and abrasion resistance.
This article describes the disadvantages of halogen-containing flame retardant cable materials and the market demand for low-smoke halogen-free flame retardant cable materials, and analyzes in detail the advantages and limitations of EVA in the application of low-smoke halogen-free flame retardant cables, and the characteristics of different types of flame retardants such as metal hydroxide, intumescent, boron, and silicone, as well as YINSU's red phosphorus flame retardant FRP-950X.
Polyolefin flame retardant cable materials have good insulating properties and are used in large quantities worldwide for power cable insulation, making an important contribution to power transmission. However, with the emphasis on environmental issues, the use of halogen-free flame retardant instead of traditional halogen flame retardant is an important trend in the development of cable insulation.
