Crosslinkable flame retardant wire and cable compositions having improved abrasion resistance

摘要

Moisture curable flame retardant wire and cable formulations having improved abrasion resistance are provided. The compositions are comprised of a high density silane-containing polyethylene base resin which can be a blend of a bimodal HDPE and ethylene-silane copolymer or silane-grafted bimodal HDPE in combination with a flame retardant and silanol condensation catalyst.
