Description

本発明は、ノンハロゲンの電線・ケーブル被覆用難燃性組成物およびこれを用いた環境保全性の高い難燃電線・ケーブルに関する。   TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a non-halogen flame retardant composition for covering electric wires and cables and a flame retardant electric wire and cable having high environmental conservation using the same.

ポリ塩化ビニル(PVC)は、絶縁特性が比較的良好なうえ、分子中にハロゲン(Cl)を含むため難燃性に優れており、さらに、耐油性、耐オゾン性、耐薬品性、耐水性なども良好であることから、電線・ケーブルの絶縁体やシース材料として広く用いられている。   Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has relatively good insulation properties and is excellent in flame retardancy because it contains halogen (Cl) in the molecule. Furthermore, it has oil resistance, ozone resistance, chemical resistance, and water resistance. Etc., it is widely used as an insulator and sheath material for electric wires and cables.

一方、近年、地球環境保護に対する意識が高まるなか、環境負荷の大きい材料の使用を規制しようとする動きが強まっており、上記PVCについても、火災時や焼却処理の際にハロゲンに起因する有害なハロゲンガスやダイオキシンを発生することから、その使用が制限されつつある。   On the other hand, in recent years, as awareness of global environmental protection has increased, there has been an increasing movement to regulate the use of materials with a large environmental load, and the above-mentioned PVC is also harmful due to halogens in the event of a fire or incineration. The use of halogen gas and dioxin is being limited due to the generation of halogen gas and dioxin.

このため、PVCに代わる環境保全性の高い電線・ケーブル被覆用難燃材料、すなわち、ハロゲンを含有せず、燃焼時にハロゲンガスやダイオキシンなどの有害な物質が発生するおそれのないノンハロゲン難燃材料が強く求められている。   For this reason, a highly environmentally friendly flame retardant material for covering wires and cables that replaces PVC, that is, a non-halogen flame retardant material that does not contain halogen and does not generate harmful substances such as halogen gas or dioxin during combustion. There is a strong demand.

このような電線・ケーブル被覆用ノンハロゲン難燃材料としては、可燃性のエチレン系ポリマー、例えばポリエチレンに、水酸化マグネシウムや水酸化アルミニウムなどの金属水酸化物を多量に添加して難燃化したものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   As such non-halogen flame retardant materials for covering electric wires and cables, flame retardant ethylene polymers, for example, flame retardant by adding a large amount of metal hydroxide such as magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide to polyethylene Is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、この組成物は、金属水酸化物の多量の添加によって、エチレン系ポリマー本来の優れた特性、特に機械的特性(例えば、引張強さ、伸びなど)が損なわれ、これを用いた電線・ケーブルは十分な要求特性を具備することができないという問題があった。
特開2000−11765号公報
However, in this composition, due to the addition of a large amount of metal hydroxide, the original excellent properties of the ethylene-based polymer, especially mechanical properties (for example, tensile strength, elongation, etc.) are impaired. There is a problem that the cable cannot have sufficient required characteristics.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明の電線・ケーブル被覆用難燃性組成物において使用されるエチレン系ポリマーとしては、低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)、中密度ポリエチレン(MDPE)、高密度ポリエチレン(HDPE)、超低密度ポリエチレン(VLDPE)、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン(LLDPE)などのポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン(PP)、エチレン・アクリル酸エチル共重合体(EEA)、エチレン・アクリル酸メチル共重合体(EMA)、エチレン・メタクリル酸エチル共重合体、エチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体(EVA)、エチレン・プロピレン共重合体(EP)、エチレン・プロピレン・ジエン共重合体(EPDM)、ポリイソプチレンなどが例示される。また、メタロセン触媒によりエチレンにプロピレン、ブテン、ペンテン、ヘキセン、オクテンなどのα−オレフィンや環状オレフィンなどを共重合させたものなども使用することができる。これらは単独または混合して使用される。本発明においては、なかでも、エチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体が好ましく、他のエチレン系ポリマーは、エチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体の併用成分として使用することが好ましい。この場合、エチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体以外のエチレン系ポリマーは、エチレン系ポリマー全体の50重量%以下とすることが好ましく、50重量%を超えると機械的特性が低下する。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
Examples of the ethylene polymer used in the flame retardant composition for covering electric wires and cables of the present invention include low density polyethylene (LDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and very low density polyethylene (VLDPE). ), Polyethylene such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene / ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA), ethylene / methyl acrylate copolymer (EMA), ethylene / ethyl methacrylate copolymer Examples thereof include a polymer, an ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), an ethylene / propylene copolymer (EP), an ethylene / propylene / diene copolymer (EPDM), and polyisobutylene. Moreover, what copolymerized alpha-olefin, cyclic olefins, etc., such as propylene, butene, pentene, hexene, and octene, can be used for the metallocene catalyst. These are used alone or in combination. In the present invention, an ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer is preferable, and the other ethylene-based polymer is preferably used as a combined component of the ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer. In this case, the ethylene-based polymer other than the ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer is preferably 50% by weight or less of the entire ethylene-based polymer, and if it exceeds 50% by weight, the mechanical properties are deteriorated.

また、本発明の電線・ケーブル被覆用難燃性組成物において使用される(a)金属水酸化物としては、水酸化マグネシウム、水酸化アルミニウム、塩基性炭酸マグネシウム、ハイドロタルサイト類などが挙げられる。これらは単独または混合して使用することができる。   In addition, examples of the (a) metal hydroxide used in the flame retardant composition for covering electric wires and cables of the present invention include magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, basic magnesium carbonate, hydrotalcite and the like. . These can be used alone or in combination.

この(a)の金属水酸化物の配合量は、前述したエチレン系ポリマー100重量部に対し、30〜100重量部、好ましくは50〜80重量部の範囲である。配合量が30重量部未満では十分な難燃性が得られず、また、逆に100重量部を超えると、機械的特性が低下する。   The compounding amount of the metal hydroxide (a) is in the range of 30 to 100 parts by weight, preferably 50 to 80 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the above-mentioned ethylene polymer. If the blending amount is less than 30 parts by weight, sufficient flame retardancy cannot be obtained, and conversely if it exceeds 100 parts by weight, the mechanical properties are deteriorated.

さらに、本発明の電線・ケーブル被覆用難燃性組成物において使用される(b)ナノクレイは、モンモリロナイトやモンモリロナイトを主成分とするベントナイトやヘクトライトなどの層状、すなわち、アスペクト比の高い鱗片状の無機鉱物を有機材料で処理することによって得られるナノサイズのプレート状の粒子である。本発明の効果を得る上では、特に、粒子径(X−Y寸法)が1000nm以下、厚さ(Z方向の寸法)が10nm以下で、アスペクト比が100〜500のものが好ましく使用される。粒子径(X−Y寸法)は100〜500nmであることがより好ましく、厚さ(Z方向の寸法)は3nm以下であることがより好ましい。なお、層状のクレイ粒子をジステアリルジメチルアンモニウムクロライドで処理したもの、すなわち、表面がジステアリルジメチルアンモニウムクロライドで改質されているナノクレイは、本発明において(b)ナノクレイとして好ましく使用されるものの1つであるが、エチレン系ポリマー成分としてエチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体を使用した場合には、難燃性を改善する効果が大きいことから、特に好ましい。   Furthermore, the (b) nanoclay used in the flame retardant composition for covering electric wires and cables of the present invention is a layered layer of montmorillonite, bentonite or hectorite mainly composed of montmorillonite, that is, a scaly shape having a high aspect ratio. Nano-sized plate-like particles obtained by treating inorganic minerals with organic materials. In order to obtain the effects of the present invention, those having a particle diameter (XY dimension) of 1000 nm or less, a thickness (dimension in the Z direction) of 10 nm or less, and an aspect ratio of 100 to 500 are preferably used. The particle diameter (XY dimension) is more preferably 100 to 500 nm, and the thickness (dimension in the Z direction) is more preferably 3 nm or less. In addition, one obtained by treating layered clay particles with distearyldimethylammonium chloride, that is, a nanoclay whose surface is modified with distearyldimethylammonium chloride is one of those preferably used as (b) nanoclay in the present invention. However, when an ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer is used as the ethylene polymer component, the effect of improving flame retardancy is great, which is particularly preferable.

この(b)のナノクレイは、(a)の金属水酸化物の難燃助剤として作用し、その使用量を減らし、(a)の金属水酸化物の配合にともなう機械的特性の低下を防止する効果を有する。この(b)のナノクレイの配合量は、前述したエチレン系ポリマー100重量部に対し、1〜10重量部、好ましくは3〜8重量部の範囲である。配合量が1重量部未満では添加による効果が得られず、また、逆に10重量部を超えると、機械的強度が低下する。   The nanoclay of (b) acts as a flame retardant aid for the metal hydroxide of (a), reduces the amount used, and prevents the mechanical properties from deteriorating due to the blending of the metal hydroxide of (a). Has the effect of The amount of nanoclay (b) is 1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 3 to 8 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the above-described ethylene-based polymer. If the blending amount is less than 1 part by weight, the effect due to addition cannot be obtained. Conversely, if the blending amount exceeds 10 parts by weight, the mechanical strength decreases.

なお、(b)のナノクレイは、上記効果とともに、組成物に優れた燃焼時の滴下防止性を付与する効果を併せ有する。但し、この効果は(a)の金属水酸化物に水酸化アルミニウムを使用した場合に顕著であるものの、水酸化マグネシウムを使用した場合にはほとんど認められないことから、良好な燃焼時の滴下防止性を得るためには、(a)の金属水酸化物に水酸化アルミニウムを使用することが好ましい。   In addition, the nano clay of (b) has the effect which provides the dripping prevention property at the time of the combustion which was excellent in the composition with the said effect. However, although this effect is remarkable when aluminum hydroxide is used for the metal hydroxide of (a), it is hardly recognized when magnesium hydroxide is used. In order to obtain the properties, it is preferable to use aluminum hydroxide for the metal hydroxide of (a).

Additives such as an agent, a heat aging inhibitor, a filler, a processing aid, a crosslinking agent, a crosslinking aid, a lubricant, a colorant, and a stabilizer can be blended. For example, examples of the plasticizer include fatty acids such as stearic acid and oleic acid, and metal salts thereof. Examples of the softener include mineral oil, wax, paraffins and the like. Furthermore, non-halogen flame retardants and flame retardant aids other than the metal hydroxides and nano clays described above can also be blended within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of such non-halogen flame retardants and flame retardant aids include guanidine and melamine nitrogen flame retardants, phosphorus phosphate flame retardants such as ammonium phosphate and red phosphorus, phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardants, and zinc borate. Examples thereof include boric acid compounds such as calcium carbonate, and silicone flame retardant aids.
