Abstract
Disclosed are a composition for a cable-covering material used in railway vehicles, and a cable for railway vehicles using the same. The present invention provides the halogen-free flame retardant composition including 100 parts by weight of a base resin including ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers; 60 to 250 parts by weight of mixed metal hydroxide as a halogen-free flame; 1 to 30 parts by weight of a flame-retardance auxiliary; 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of a silane-based coupling agent; 0.5 to 8 parts by weight of a cross-linking formulation; and 3 to 15 parts by weight of a cross-linking agent. The composition according to the present invention may be used in the cable-covering material for railway vehicles under the extreme conditions because it has excellent properties such as resistance against dynamic pressure at high temperature and durability, as well as low smoke and flame retardance upon its combustion.
