Efficient application of brucite powder flame retardant in cable materials: environmental protection and safety are equally important

As a halogen-free, non-toxic and environmentally friendly flame retardant, brucite powder is increasingly valued in cable materials. It can not only effectively improve the flame retardant properties of cables, but also reduce the release of toxic gases during combustion and improve the safety of cables. The following are several key aspects of the application of brucite powder in cable materials:

Improved flame retardant properties

Thermal stability: brucite powder decomposes at high temperatures, absorbs heat, and reduces the temperature of cable materials.

Formation of protective layer: The magnesium oxide produced by decomposition forms a protective layer on the surface of the material, isolating oxygen and slowing down the combustion rate.

Environmental characteristics

Non-toxic and halogen-free: brucite powder does not contain halogen, does not produce toxic gases when burned, and meets environmental protection requirements.

Physical properties maintained

Mechanical properties: Appropriate addition of brucite powder can maintain the mechanical properties of cable materials, such as tensile strength and elongation at break.

Process adaptability

Processing performance: brucite powder has good compatibility with cable materials and does not affect the processing technology of cable materials.

Synergistic effect

With other flame retardants: Brucite powder can synergize with other flame retardants such as aluminum hydroxide and red phosphorus to improve the flame retardant effect.

Application field

Cable manufacturing: Suitable for the manufacture of various cables such as power cables, communication cables, and control cables.

Research progress

Formula optimization: Study the amount of brucite powder added under different formulas to achieve the best flame retardant effect.

Process improvement: Explore the dispersion technology of brucite powder in cable materials to improve its uniformity in cable materials.

Development prospects

Market demand: With the improvement of environmental protection and safety performance requirements, the market demand for brucite powder flame retardant cable materials will continue to grow.

Technological innovation: Through technological innovation, the application performance of brucite powder in cable materials will be further improved and the cost will be reduced.

As an environmentally friendly flame retardant, brucite powder has broad prospects for application in cable materials. By continuously optimizing the formula and process, brucite powder will help to manufacture safer and more environmentally friendly cable products.
