Abstract: The present invention provides conductive and/or insulative compositions comprising polymer blends that include olefin and/or fluoropolymer and/or chlorofluoropolymer based resins with and without inorganic additives. These compositions reduce flammability and smoke generation and are used primarily for insulation materials and for high performance communications cables. In addition, support-separators using these same compositions, to be used within the communications cables, and normally within the cable core, are described. These unique compositions include polymer blends that offer both flame and smoke suppression while maintaining the characteristics necessary to improve electrical performance and allow for severe cost reduction over conventional separators. These polymers blends can also be utilized for fabricating shielding materials.
