Abstract
Materials for making cable jackets, particularly riser and plenum cables, are provided. The materials provide low flammability and allow the cable to meet UL 910 or NFPA 262 or UL 1666 specifications. The material contains PVC resin, a plasticizer, a metal oxide particle, and optionally a brominated phthalate. Preferably, the metal oxide particle is spherical amorphous silicon dioxide. More preferably, the spherical amorphous silicon dioxide has a mean particle size of about 100-200 nm and/or a BET surface area of about 10-30 m/g. The metal oxide particle is also preferably metal oxide particle non-porous, non-ionic, and/or non-hydrated.
