Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a non-halogen insulated wire useful, in particular, for a low-voltage wire harness used in a vehicle, and the like. SOLUTION: The insulator of this wire is made up of 20 to 80 pts.wt. of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer(EVA) or an ethylene-ethyl acetate copolymer(EEA), 80 to 20 pts.wt. of a polypropylene block copolymer containing 30% or less ethylene, 40 to 200 pts.wt. of a metal-hydroxide compound, and 5 to 80 pts.wt. of a hydrogenated SBR. Thus, the insulator has no halogen, produces no poisonous gases, has high flame resistance, excels in abrasion resistance, and is capable of satisfactorily suppressing whitening phenomena.

[0005] In addition to being advantageous in terms of cost, PVC has the advantages that it has excellent flame retardancy and also has high abrasion resistance that can withstand wiring inside the vehicle. However, when it burns, it contains a halogen element, so that there is a problem that toxic gas is emitted.

[0004] This toxic gas is used, for example, when a vehicle is treated after a fire in a tunnel or the like, when the entire vehicle is pressed and incinerated as a scrapped car, and a large number of wire harnesses taken out of the scrapped car are industrially used. When incinerated as waste or the like, it presents a serious problem, and in response to the growing environmental problems in recent years, an immediate solution has been desired.

For this reason, it is conceivable to use polyethylene (PE), which is often used, as an insulating resin for electric wires as an alternative resin. However, PE does not generate a toxic gas because it does not contain a halogen element. However, there are problems such as poor abrasion resistance and low flame retardancy.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or ethylene-ethyl acetate copolymer (EEA) used in the present invention is a non-halogen resin and has a polar group. It is possible to set a larger amount of the metal hydroxide compound to be added.

In the case of blending with the P block copolymer, the total blending amount of both is 100 parts by weight, and the PP block copolymer is 80 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 20 to 80 parts by weight of EEA. That is, if EVA or EEA is less than 20 parts by weight,
When the PP block copolymer exceeds 80 parts by weight, the abrasion resistance is improved, but the addition of a metal hydroxide compound as a flame retardant cannot be expected, and conversely, EVA or EEA becomes 80 parts by weight. If the PP block copolymer is less than 20 parts by weight, the desired abrasion resistance cannot be obtained.

The amount of the metal hydroxide compound to be added can be up to about 40 to 200 parts by weight, depending on the desired degree of flame retardancy. That is, if the amount is less than 40 parts by weight, sufficient flame retardancy cannot be obtained, and naturally higher flame retardancy can be obtained by increasing the amount. As described above, the polar group-containing E
By sharing with VA or EEA, it is possible to add a large amount up to about twice as much as the base resin. However, the upper limit is 2
The reason why the amount is set to 00 parts by weight is that even if the amount exceeds this, the mechanical strength (tensile strength, elongation, etc.), insulation properties, workability, etc., will decrease.
