Research on the Oil Resistance Performance of TPV Flame Retardant Cable Materials
Oil resistant and flame-retardant EPDM/PE/PP ternary TPV composite materials were prepared using EPDM/PE/PP ternary thermoplastic dynamic vulcanized rubber(TPV)as the substrate.The influence of different materials on the oil resistance of thermoplastic elastomers(TPV)was studied.The results showed that the addition of high-density polyethylene(HDPE)can enhance the oil resistance of TPV,and as the amount increases,the effect becomes more significant.The addition of hydrogenated styrene-butadiene copolymer(SEBS)and paraffin oil weakens the oil resistance of TPV.Polypropylene(PP)with high regularity can also improve the oil resistance of TPV.These results are significant for the formulation design of flame retardant and oil-resistant TPV used in wire and cable applications.
