  • Jacket composition for riser and plenum cables
    Patent number: 9812231
    Abstract: The present invention relates to materials for making cable jackets, particularly for riser and plenum cables. The materials provide low flammability and allow the cable to meet UL 910 or NFPA-262 or UL 1666 specifications. The composition contains polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, a plasticizer, ammonium octamolybdate, a molybdate compound, a stabilizer, a lubricant, aluminum trihydrate, and either i) metal oxide particles, ii) a polytetrafluoroehtylene (PTFE), iii) an intumescent compound, or iv) combinations thereof.

  • Compositions for riser and plenum cables
    Patent number: 8907217
    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 m2/g. The metal oxide particle is also preferably metal oxide particle non-porous, non-ionic, and/or non-hydrated.
