The invention discloses an environment-friendly cable insulation layer, and belongs to the field of wire cable. The environment-friendly cable insulation layer comprises an internal insulation layer and an external insulation layer; a double layer co-extrusion insulation layer is composed of the internal insulation layer and the external insulation layer; the internal insulation layer is preparedfrom an irradiation crosslinked polyethylene insulation material; the external insulation layer is prepared from a low-smoke halogen-free flame-resistant irradiation crosslinked polyolefin insulationlayer; the external insulation layer comprises, by weight, 43 to 65 parts of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, 40 to 60 parts of linear low density polyethylene, 35 to 47 parts of ethylene propylene diene monomer, 54 to 75 parts of a scratch-resistant agent, 25 to 30 parts of a sensitizing agent, 48 to 60 parts of a silicon nitrogen flame retardant, 25 to 35 parts of a composite anti-aging agent, 12 to 20 parts of a reinforcing filler, and 25 to 35 parts of a composite compatilizer. The environment-friendly cable insulation layer, is friendly to the environment, and is capable of improvingthe scratch resistance of cables greatly.
