This paper analyses the performance of a high filled flame-retardant, halogen-free compound intended for jacketing when it is modified with nanoclays. The study looks for the effect in mechanical, physicochemical, and rheological properties of the material. Results showed that the use of nanoclays decreased the flame-retardant filler content in the compound—with a minor change in mechanical and physicochemical properties—but enhanced rheological behavior as expected.
