Description

本発明は、成形加工時或いは燃焼時にハロゲン系ガスが発生しない非ハロゲンの難燃材料に用いられる金属水酸化物に関する。さらに本発明は、該金属水酸化物を用いた、高い難燃性と高い機械的強度及び柔軟性とを有する難燃性樹脂組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a metal hydroxide used for a non-halogen flame-retardant material that does not generate a halogen-based gas during molding or combustion. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a flame retardant resin composition having high flame retardancy and high mechanical strength and flexibility using the metal hydroxide.

電線絶縁体、ケーブルシース、電線管、土木養生シート、家電製品部品等に使用される材料には難燃性が求められる。従来、これらの材料にポリオレフィンを用いる場合、難燃性を付与するためにハロゲン含有難燃剤を配合して難燃化する方法が一般的に採用されていた。しかし、かかる方法においては、ハロゲン含有難燃剤配合ポリオレフィンを成形加工する時、或いは該難燃剤配合ポリオレフィンの燃焼時にハロゲン化水素ガスが発生する問題が指摘されていた。   Materials used for electric wire insulators, cable sheaths, electric pipes, civil engineering curing sheets, home appliance parts, etc. are required to have flame retardancy. Conventionally, when polyolefin is used for these materials, a method of adding a halogen-containing flame retardant to make it flame retardant has been generally employed in order to impart flame retardancy. However, in such a method, a problem has been pointed out that hydrogen halide gas is generated when a halogen-containing flame retardant-blended polyolefin is molded or burned.

一方、ポリオレフィンに金属水酸化物を配合し難燃性を付与する方法も提案されている。しかし、かかる方法においては、該難燃剤配合ポリオレフィンの成形加工時或いは該難燃剤配合ポリオレフィンの燃焼時にハロゲン化水素ガスの発生は無いものの、所望の難燃性を得るためには、多量の金属水酸化物を配合することが必須であった。そのため配合組成物の機械的強度や柔軟性が著しく損なわれる問題があった。   On the other hand, a method for imparting flame retardancy by blending a metal hydroxide with polyolefin has also been proposed. However, in such a method, there is no generation of hydrogen halide gas at the time of molding of the flame retardant-blended polyolefin or combustion of the flame retardant-blended polyolefin. It was essential to blend oxides. Therefore, there has been a problem that the mechanical strength and flexibility of the blended composition are remarkably impaired.

この問題を解決するため、ポリオレフィン、水酸化マグネシウム及びメタクリロキシ系シランカップリング剤からなる難燃性樹脂組成物であって、該樹脂組成物に電離放射線を照射されてなる難燃性樹脂組成物が開示されている(特許文献1参照)。しかし、係る難燃性樹脂組成物は、その機械的強度や柔軟性においては満足できるものの、難燃性においては満足のゆくものではなかった。   In order to solve this problem, a flame retardant resin composition comprising a polyolefin, magnesium hydroxide, and a methacryloxy-based silane coupling agent, wherein the resin composition is irradiated with ionizing radiation. It is disclosed (see Patent Document 1). However, the flame retardant resin composition is satisfactory in mechanical strength and flexibility, but not satisfactory in flame retardancy.

また、メタクリロキシ系シランカップリング剤と、炭素数12以上の不飽和脂肪酸とそのアルカリ金属塩及びアンモニウム塩の少なくとも1種とを含有する水酸化マグネシウムと、該水酸化マグネシウムをポリオレフィン樹脂に配合してなる難燃性樹脂組成物が開示されている(特許文献2参照)。しかし、係る難燃性樹脂組成物においても、その柔軟性や難燃性は満足のゆくものではなかった。
特許第2525968号公報(1頁) 特開2002−265948号公報(1頁)
Further, a methacryloxy-based silane coupling agent, magnesium hydroxide containing an unsaturated fatty acid having 12 or more carbon atoms, and at least one of an alkali metal salt and an ammonium salt thereof, and the magnesium hydroxide are blended in a polyolefin resin. A flame retardant resin composition is disclosed (see Patent Document 2). However, even in such a flame retardant resin composition, the flexibility and flame retardancy were not satisfactory.
