[Conventional technology] Materials traditionally used as insulators and sheaths for electric wires and cables, including polyolefin, which is widely used due to its excellent electrical insulation properties, are all flammable and can cause fires. When a fire occurs, there are many cases where the fire spreads through the wiring system of electric wires and cables, and the demand for flame-retardant electric wires and cables has suddenly increased. In particular, as a recent trend, electric wires and cables for nuclear power plants,
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standard 383 V is used for vehicle wires and cables, marine wires and cables, etc.
There is a growing demand for high flame retardancy, which is conditional on passing a multi-line installation combustion test that simulates actual installation conditions as stipulated in the TFT' (Vertical J-Ray Combustion Test). .

However, such flame-retardant electrical insulation compositions generate a large amount of nonflammable halogen-based scum in the event of a fire, thereby blocking oxygen around electric wires and cables and preventing combustion. Although it exhibits sufficient flame-retardant properties, the halogen-based scum generated during this process is often toxic, such as hydrogen chloride, and there is no prospect of it generating a large amount of smoke containing such toxic scum. This may hinder evacuation and firefighting efforts in the event of a fire, or the toxic residue may have a negative impact on the human body, leading to secondary disasters.Furthermore, the halogen residue may interact with moisture in the air. There is also a risk that it will react and become hydrohalic acid, which will corrode the switchboard.
