Les ressources naturelles minérales telles que le pétrole ou le gaz sont à l'origine de la synthèse de nombreux polymères synthétiques tels que les polyoléfines, et se font de plus en plus rares.Mineral natural resources such as oil or gas are at the origin of the synthesis of many synthetic polymers such as polyolefins, and are becoming increasingly rare.

Aussi le problème technique à résoudre, par l'objet de la présente invention, est de proposer un câble d'énergie et/ou de télécommunication comportant au moins un élément constitutif réalisé en un matériau extrudé issu d'une composition extrudable permettant d'éviter les problèmes de l'état de la technique en offrant notamment des compositions alternatives à celles de l'art antérieur.Therefore, the technical problem to be solved, by the object of the present invention, is to propose an energy and / or telecommunication cable comprising at least one constituent element made of an extruded material resulting from an extrudable composition making it possible to avoid the problems of the state of the art by offering in particular alternative compositions to those of the prior art.

- mouler la composition en formant des plaques dans une presse chauffante, sous une pression de 100 bars pendant 5 minutes.
- to use the polymer (s) in an internal mixer, and

Après refroidissement et démoulage, les plaques sont coupées pour réaliser les échantillons sur lesquels des tests mécaniques sont effectués.After cooling and demolding, the plates are cut to make the samples on which mechanical tests are performed.
Le Tableau 2 rassemble les résultats d'un certain nombre de mesures relevées sur les échantillons 1 à 7 afin d'évaluer leur résistance à la traction et leur allongement à la rupture.
Des analyses par cône-calorimétre sont également réalisées afin d'évaluer et de comparer le comportement au feu des différents échantillons.Cone-calorimeter analyzes are also performed to evaluate and compare the fire behavior of the different samples.
Ce type d'analyse, consistant à brûler des échantillons à l'air ambiant tout en les soumettant à un rayonnement énergétique externe de puissance inférieure à 100 kW/m2 et imposé par un chauffage radiant contrôlé en température, permet d'obtenir le taux de chaleur dégagée exprimé en MJ/m2 et le pic de chaleur dégagée exprimé en kW/m2.This type of analysis, consisting of burning samples in the ambient air while subjecting them to an external energy radiation of less than 100 kW / m 2 power and imposed by a radiant heating controlled in temperature, makes it possible to obtain the released heat expressed in MJ / m 2 and the peak of heat output expressed in kW / m 2 .
Pour ce faire, chaque échantillon est façonné en plaques carrées de 10 cm de côté et de 3 mm d'épaisseur.To do this, each sample is shaped into square plates 10 cm square and 3 mm thick.
Les échantillons ainsi conformés sont testés au moyen d'un calorimètre à cône conformément à la norme ISO 5660-1 relative aux débits calorifiques des produits du bâtiment.The samples thus conformed are tested using a cone calorimeter in accordance with the ISO 5660-1 standard relating to the heat flows of building products.
Plus le pic de chaleur dégagée et le taux de chaleur dégagée sont faibles numériquement, meilleures sont les propriétés ignifugeantes de la composition.The higher the peak of heat released and the rate of heat released are numerically lower, the better the flame retardant properties of the composition.

Au regard des résultats des Tableaux 2 et 3, il apparaît clairement que les échantillons à base de biopolymères selon la présente invention présentent des propriétés mécaniques ainsi que des propriétés de résistance au feu identiques, voire meilleures, que les polymères de l'art antérieur PE et EVA.With regard to the results of Tables 2 and 3, it is clear that the biopolymer-based samples according to the present invention have identical or better mechanical properties as well as fire resistance properties than the polymers of the prior art. and EVA.

A cet égard, il est noté que les quantités mentionnées dans le Tableau 4 sont exprimées en parties en poids (pcr) pour 100 parties de polymère.
L'origine des charges ignifugeantes utilisées dans les échantillons 8 à 18 est la suivante :
- l'hydroxyde de magnésium et l'hydroxyde d'aluminium sont commercialisés par la société Martinswerk respectivement sous la référence Magnifin H10 et OL104 ; et
- le mélange de carbonate de magnésium hydraté et carbonate de calcium et de magnésium est commercialisé par la société Minelco sous la référence Ultracarb U5.
- magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide are marketed by Martinswerk respectively under the reference Magnifin H10 and OL104; and
- the mixture of hydrated magnesium carbonate and calcium and magnesium carbonate is marketed by Minelco under the reference Ultracarb U5.
Au regard des résultats du Tableau 4, les échantillons conformes à l'invention présentent de meilleures propriétés ignifugeantes puisque le taux de chaleur dégagée des échantillons 8, 9 et 12 à 18 conforme à l'invention sont bien inférieurs à ceux des échantillons 10 et 11 pour des valeurs de pic de chaleur dégagée inférieures ou équivalentes.With regard to the results in Table 4, the samples in accordance with the invention have better flame-retarding properties since the heat content released from samples 8, 9 and 12 to 18 according to the invention are much lower than those of samples 10 and 11. for lower or equivalent peak heat values.
Afin de montrer les avantages obtenus selon une autre réalisation particulière de la présente invention et à titre d'exemple, deux biopolymères différents, à savoir 75 pcr d'Amidon et 25 pcr de Cellulose, sont mélangés et moulés sous presse dans les mêmes conditions qu'énoncées précédemment.In order to show the advantages obtained according to another particular embodiment of the present invention and by way of example, two different biopolymers, namely 75 phr of Starch and 25 phr of Cellulose, are mixed and molded in press under the same conditions as previously stated.
L'échantillon 12 ainsi obtenu permet d'obtenir une résistance à la traction de 19 MPa et un allongement à la rupture de 70 %.The sample 12 thus obtained makes it possible to obtain a tensile strength of 19 MPa and an elongation at break of 70%.
Ainsi, le mélange de ces deux biopolymères présente avantageusement des propriétés mécaniques bien équilibrées, dont la résistance à la traction est supérieure à celle de l'échantillon 2 et l'allongement à la rupture est supérieur à celui de l'échantillon 1.Thus, the mixture of these two biopolymers advantageously has well-balanced mechanical properties, whose tensile strength is greater than that of the sample 2 and the elongation at break is greater than that of the sample 1.
Enfin, pour valider l'utilisation des compositions selon la présente invention pour une application câble, les compositions 1, 2, 5 et 5 bis du Tableau 1 sont extrudées sur un conducteur métallique de 1,03 mm de diamètre en une couche d'environ 0,50 mm, afin d'obtenir les fils électriques respectifs 1, 2, 5 et 5 bis.Finally, to validate the use of the compositions according to the present invention for a cable application, the compositions 1, 2, 5 and 5 bis of Table 1 are extruded on a metal conductor of 1.03 mm diameter in a layer of approximately 0.50 mm, in order to obtain the respective electrical wires 1, 2, 5 and 5 bis.
Le profil d'extrusion pour la composition 1 s'étend de 145°C à 200°C sous une pression de 150 Bar, celui de la composition 2 s'étend de 100°C à 135°C sous une pression de 135 Bar, et celui des compositions 5 et 5 bis s'étend de 120 à 150°C sous une pression de 190 bars, ces profils d'extrusion étant bien connus de l'homme du métier.The extrusion profile for the composition 1 extends from 145 ° C. to 200 ° C. under a pressure of 150 bar, that of the composition 2 extends from 100 ° C. to 135 ° C. under a pressure of 135 bar. and that of compositions 5 and 5a extends from 120 to 150 ° C under a pressure of 190 bars, these extrusion profiles being well known to those skilled in the art.
Ces compositions extrudées sont soumises à des tests d'isolation. Le test d'isolation selon la norme IEC 60502-1 consiste à immerger les fils électriques dans de l'eau pendant au moins une heure avant ledit test.These extruded compositions are subjected to insulation tests. The insulation test according to IEC 60502-1 consists in immersing the electric wires in water for at least one hour before said test.
Une tension continue comprise entre 80V et 500V est alors appliquée pendant une durée suffisante (entre 1 et 5 min) puis la résistance de la couronne est mesurée. Celle-ci permet de déterminer la constante d'isolement.A continuous voltage of between 80V and 500V is then applied for a sufficient duration (between 1 and 5 min) then the resistance of the crown is measured. This is used to determine the insulation constant.
Les constantes d'isolement (Ki) à 20°C obtenues pour les compositions extrudées des fils électriques 1, 2, 5 et 5bis sont rassemblées dans le Tableau 5 ci-après.
Ces valeurs de Ki sont avantageusement supérieures à celles préconisées pour certains matériaux, notamment pour le polychlorure de vinyle.These Ki values are advantageously greater than those recommended for certain materials, especially for polyvinyl chloride.
L'extrusion de ladite composition permet de réaliser des épaisseurs de couche importantes de l'ordre d'au moins 0,3-0,5 mm, contrairement aux revêtements filmogènes, et permet ainsi d'obtenir des propriétés isolantes optimisées. Plus l'épaisseur extrudée est importante, meilleure est l'isolation électrique.The extrusion of said composition makes it possible to achieve significant layer thicknesses of the order of at least 0.3-0.5 mm, unlike film-forming coatings, and thus makes it possible to obtain optimized insulating properties. The higher the extruded thickness, the better the electrical insulation.
On précise que les compositions en question sont utilisées dans la réalisation des matériaux extrudés isolants et/ou de gainage et/ou de bourrage pour les câbles d'énergie et/ou de télécommunication.It is specified that the compositions in question are used in the production of extruded insulating and / or sheathing and / or stuffing materials for energy and / or telecommunication cables.
