The invention discloses a low-
smoke flame-retardant PVC (
polyvinyl chloride) cable material which comprises the following components in parts by
mass: 100 parts of PVC, 2-80 parts of a
plasticizer, 0.3-15 parts of a heat stabilizer, 0.25-25 parts of a
lubricant, 4-60 parts of a
flame retardant, 0.5-60 parts of a toughener, 1-5 parts of dicyclopentadienyl iron, 0.5-1.5 parts of magnesia, 0.5-1.5 parts of
copper oxalate and 10-20 parts of pottery clay. The
oxygen index of the product is up to 55% which is greatly improved compared with the
oxygen index (41%) of a product which is obtained in the prior art, the
flame-retardant effect is more excellent, and the maximum
smoke density is 280; the
dielectric strength is up to 30KV / mm which is higher than the
dielectric strength (27KV / mm) of the existing product; the tensile strength is 20MPa, the elongation at break is 330-350%, and the brittle temperature is -50 DEG C; the volume resistivity at 20 DEG C is 4*10<14> Ohms.cm, and the volume resistivity at 0 DEG C is 2*10<13> Ohms.cm; and the product is excellent in flame-retardant effect, less in
smoke generation, resistant to
ultraviolet aging and good in insulation effect and tenacity, does not generate molten drops, can be produced in a large scale, and can be used for replacing the existing material continuously.
