Flame-retardant PVC cable compound are widely used in construction, electricity, communications and new energy fields. Their core requirements include flame retardancy, mechanical strength, electrical properties and weather resistance. Formula design and performance optimization are the key to improving the comprehensive performance of materials, involving flame retardant selection, PVC substrate modification, processing aid optimization and other aspects.
Selection of PVC resin
Suspension PVC (SG type): SG-5 and SG-7 are commonly used to balance processing fluidity and mechanical properties.
Influence of polymerization degree: High polymerization degree PVC (such as P-1000) can improve heat resistance, but the processing difficulty increases.
(1) Traditional flame retardants
Halogen flame retardants (such as chlorinated paraffin, decabromodiphenyl ether): highly efficient but facing environmental regulations (such as RoHS).
Antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃): synergistic with halogen, but the dosage needs to be controlled (3-5%).
(2) Halogen-free flame retardants
Metal hydroxides (ATH, MDH): environmentally friendly but require high addition amounts (40-60%), affecting mechanical properties.
Phosphorus-based flame retardants (such as TCPP, DOPO): good carbonization, suitable for scenarios with high flame retardancy requirements.
Intumescent flame retardants (IFR): low smoke and low toxicity, but high cost.
Plasticizers and stabilizers
Plasticizers (DOP, DINP, environmentally friendly plasticizers): affect flexibility and low-temperature performance.
Heat stabilizers (calcium zinc, organic tin): prevent PVC processing degradation and improve heat resistance.
Fillers and processing aids
Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃): reduces costs, but excessive amounts affect flame retardancy.
Lubricants (PE wax, stearic acid): improve processing fluidity.
Antioxidants and light stabilizers: improve aging resistance.
Optimization of flame retardant performance
Synergistic flame retardant technology: such as Sb₂O₃ + halogen system, ATH + silicon system, to improve flame retardant efficiency.
Surface modified flame retardant: such as silane coupling agent treatment of ATH to improve dispersibility.
Application of carbonizing agent: promote carbon layer formation (such as pentaerythritol) and enhance barrier effect.
Balance of mechanical properties
Elastomer modification (such as NBR, EVA): improve impact resistance.
Nano filler (such as nano SiO₂, montmorillonite): enhance tensile strength.
Processing technology optimization
Twin-screw extrusion process: ensure uniform dispersion of flame retardant.
Temperature control: prevent PVC decomposition (usually 160-180℃).
Flame retardant standards: UL94 V-0, GB/T 18380 (vertical burning), IEC 60332.
Smoke density test: ASTM E662 (evaluation of low smoke performance).
Environmental certification: RoHS, REACH, halogen-free requirements (halogen content <900ppm).
