Abstract
In this research, magnesium hydroxide as a flame retardant agents and zinc borate as a synergist were mixed with LDPF/EVA blended samples, in order to improve their flame retardancy. We attempted to select the best mixing ratio of the LDPF/EVA blend and the optimum amount of magnesium hydroxide and zinc borate by the comparison and analysis of the flame retardancy, the electrical properties such as the volume resistivity and dielectric loss tangent, and the mechanical properties such as the tensile strength and elongation at break. Particularly, specimen which is the 6phr of zinc borate and 10phr of magnesium hydroxide 70/30phr adding to the LDPF/EVA blended samples has been most excellent in flame retardancy and electrical/mechanical properties.
