Cable Sheathing Material "LSZH"

Dutch of the Elm
Hi,


I hope someone can assist. 


I am interested in studying the materials used to sheath "LSZH" / "LSF" cables, particularly ones such as twin and earth.  Can anyone confirm what kinds of compounds are typically used to sheath these cables?  Specifically LSF/LSZH ones, so not PVC.  I had assumed XLPE but a number of manufacturers seem to state "LSZH" sheath etc alongside XLPE insulation, so I am lead to understand the sheath is not XLPE... or am I overthinking it?  I have tried to asking a manufacturer but I have not had a clear answer.  


Looking forward to some answers.


Thanks,
