The Relationship Between Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide And Rubber Cables
Rubber cables have a wide range of applications in modern society. They are used in fields such as power transmission, communications, transportation, construction and industry. However, cables may face fire risks during operation, so improving their flame retardant properties is crucial. Magnesium carbonate hydroxide, as a flame retardant material, has been widely used in rubber cables.
Magnesium carbonate hydroxide is an inorganic compound with excellent flame retardant properties. In cable manufacturing, magnesium carbonate hydroxide can be used as a flame retardant. Its flame retardant mechanism mainly includes the following points:
High thermal stability: Magnesium carbonate hydroxide decomposes at high temperatures, releasing water vapor while absorbing large amounts of heat, thereby reducing the risk of cable fires.
Release of inert gas: When magnesium carbonate hydroxide decomposes, it releases magnesium oxide and water vapor. These gases can reduce the oxygen concentration and allow the fire to be controlled.
Isolate heat sources: magnesium carbonate hydroxide can coat the rubber material in the cable to form a protective barrier to isolate the cable from external heat sources.
