1.Antimony trioxide for Cable compared with using halogen-based flame retardants alone (which requires an addition of 15-20%), the combination of Sb₂O₃ (3-5%) can significantly enhance the flame retardant efficiency and reduce the material cost.
2.The decomposition temperature is over 400℃, which is compatible with the processing temperature of PVC (160 - 200℃). Antimony trioxide for Cable ensures that no smoke is produced during the processing.
Antimony Trioxide for PVC and EVA Cables: Enhancing Flame Retardancy and Performance
1. Introduction
Antimony trioxide in Plastics (Sb₂O₃) is a crucial flame retardant synergist used in PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) cable formulations. When combined with halogenated compounds, antimony trioxide in Plastics significantly improves fire resistance, ensuring compliance with international safety standards such as UL94, IEC 60332, and EN 50575.
This article explores:
√ Why antimony trioxide in Plastics is essential for PVC & EVA cables
√ Mechanisms of flame retardancy
√ Optimal formulations and benefits
√ Challenges and future trends
2. Role of Sb₂O₃ in PVC and EVA Cables
Flame Retardant Synergism
PVC: Contains chlorine (≈56%), antimony trioxide for PVC cable works with Sb₂O₃ to form antimony trichloride (SbCl₃)—a radical scavenger that suppresses flames.
EVA: Requires halogenated additives (e.g., decabromodiphenyl ether) since antimony trioxide for EVA cable lacks inherent flame retardancy. Sb₂O₃ boosts efficiency by 30-50%.
3. Advantages of Sb₂O₃ in PVC/EVA Cables
Cost-Effective Flame Retardancy
PVC: Antimony trioxide for PVC cable Chlorine + Sb₂O₃ provides low-cost self-extinguishing properties.
EVA: Antimony trioxide for EVA cable Reduces halogenated flame retardant usage by 20-30%, cutting costs.
Processing Benefits
Antimony trioxide for Cable Does not degrade at PVC/EVA processing temps (160-200°C).
Antimony trioxide for Cable Better flow than mineral fillers (e.g., ATH), improving extrusion speed.
Electrical Performance
Antimony trioxide for PVC cable Maintains high volume resistivity (>10¹² Ω·cm) in PVC insulation.
Antimony trioxide for EVA cable No negative impact on dielectric loss in EVA-based photovoltaic cables.
4. Conclusion
Antimony trioxide in Plastics remains the most cost-effective flame retardant synergist for PVC and EVA cables, offering:
Antimony trioxide for EVA cable Excellent fire resistance (UL94 V-0)
Antimony trioxide for PVC cable Good electrical insulation
