Cable Sheathing Material "LSZH"

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,

Parents
  • Hi.

    Thanks for the swift reply.

    So sheaths could be PP or possibly PE, so might actually be XLPE plus filler in some cases?  The cross linking is not particularly important to what I'm looking into but I just ask out of interest.


    Thanks!
