General characteristics

The relatively modern development in cables has seen the requirement for fire performance become increasingly important. This has seen requirements for low smoke emission, low corrosivity when burnt, flame retardance and reduced propagation become clearly specified and increasingly specified in many areas of cable installation. This has removed halogenated compounds from many markets to be replaced by LSZH &#; low smoke, zero halogen &#; types. This has dramatically reduced the amounts of PVC and chlorinated rubbers used to be replaced by newly developed LSZH materials.

The elastomeric versions of these compounds are generally based on non-chlorinated polymers of some sort with relatively high loadings of active fillers, the commonest being hydrated alumina. Compounding technology can be quite complicated depending on the application. Many compounds use EVA as the base polymer. EVA is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, with VA contents being from single-figure percentages to 70% and 80%. The lower percentages are essentially modified polyethylene, and as the VA content increases, so does the softness, and the resistance to fluids improves. Other copolymers are often blended with EVA, including acrylics and nitriles. 

Processing

Elastomeric LSZH is compounded with carefully selected fillers, colouring pigments and processing aids using standard compounding practice. Cross-linking may be chemical or radiation. 

Extrusion is usually with single screw extruders, crosslinking being by CV, autoclave or radiation means.

Uses of material/Cable types

Crosslinked LSZH materials are usually used in applications where older chlorinated rubbers would have been used, as well as an increasing number of new applications where fire performance is required in conjunction with requirements for heat and fluid resistance.

List of Polymeric materials for cables used:

Low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) or Halogen-free, flame retardant (HFFR) compound is the main material to produce safety cable which are typically polyolefin based with a heavy doping of inorganic hydrated minerals, give off cleaner smoke when burned.

 Good flame retardant (IEC -3-24 Cat C, Cat A)
 Low smoke density (IEC -2)
 Halogen free (IEC 754-1)
 Heat shock test (IEC -3-1)
 Excellent surface appearance
 Good process ability with low head pressure and motor amps
