Description

  In particular, the present invention relates to a building piping material having excellent fire resistance and penetrating through a partition of a building.

  Buildings have fire prevention zones defined by the building type and specifications, and floors and wall materials with fire-resistant or semi-fire resistant structures specified by the Building Standards Act are required for the fire-proof zones. Used. The flooring and wall materials of fireproof structures and semi-fireproof structures defined by the Building Standards Law are those whose materials and structure are determined by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism or approved by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Reinforced concrete, concrete blocks reinforced with steel or brick or stone, steel covered with steel mortar or concrete, lightweight foamed concrete, precast concrete board, plywood and gypsum board or hard wood cement board or lightweight cellular concrete The pasting etc. are mentioned.

On the other hand, pipes (conduit pipes, drain pipes, ducts, etc.) are installed in the building, and such pipes may penetrate the fire prevention section as described above.
In the case where a through-hole (hereinafter referred to as a “compartment penetrating part”) through which piping or the like is provided in the above-mentioned fire prevention compartment, when a fire occurs, the fire prevention compartment is connected from the room where the fire occurred through the compartment penetration part. There is a risk of fire and smoke entering the room next to it, causing a major fire accident in a short time.
Therefore, it is stipulated in the Building Standards Act that piping materials that pass through the section penetrations in the building can only be installed that have passed the section penetration fire resistance test and have been approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism or firefighting ratings.
In view of this, a fire-protection method is applied to the partition penetrating portion so as to block the gap with a non-combustible material such as mortar so that no gap is formed between the partition penetrating portion and the pipe after the pipe is penetrated. ing.

When the piping material is made of metal, the piping material itself has heat resistance and nonflammability. Therefore, as described above, a sufficient effect can be recognized by simply closing the gap with mortar that is a nonflammable material. Since the weight of the steel becomes heavy, there is a problem that workability during transportation and construction is inferior.
On the other hand, when the piping material is made of a synthetic resin, it has advantages such as light weight, excellent handleability, and easy joining as compared with a metal material, but is inferior in heat resistance and fire resistance. Therefore, in the event of a fire, the piping material disappears due to combustion or is thermally deformed, creating a gap between the compartment penetration and the piping material, and the heat, flame, smoke, etc. generated on one side of the fire prevention compartment May reach the other side.

Therefore, for example, a fire-protection method is employed in which a sheet-shaped covering material having fire-resistant expansion properties is wound around the outer surface of a synthetic resin piping material. As a refractory resin composition constituting the sheet-like coating material, a composition in which a thermal expansion graphite, an inorganic filler and a plasticizer are blended with a vinyl chloride resin and a specific phosphorus compound is blended has been proposed. . (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
In addition, as a method for producing thermally expandable graphite to be blended with a resin, a method in which a raw material graphite is treated with a mixture of sulfuric acid and an oxidizing agent and then washed with an alkaline aqueous solution, and a solid neutralizing agent is mixed is proposed. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  However, in the case of a fire-protection method using a sheet-shaped covering material, temporarily place a synthetic resin piping material, position the portion where the sheet-shaped covering material is wound, and then pipe the sheet-shaped covering material. Since the openings are backfilled with mortar after wrapping around the material, supporting and fixing the piping material, the work takes a lot of time and the construction time is long, and the sheet-like coating material is wound around the piping material After that, there is a problem that it is difficult to adjust the position of the piping.

  Therefore, if the piping material is directly manufactured using a resin composition having fire expansion resistance, the above problem is solved, but in the case of the above fire resistance resin composition, an inorganic filler is added to the vinyl chloride resin. A large amount of plasticizer is blended. Therefore, when a piping material is molded from the above fire-resistant resin composition, the mechanical strength that is an essential condition for the tube cannot be obtained.

JP 2006-348228 A JP 2006-69809 A

  This invention is proposed in view of the said problem, Comprising: It aims at providing the piping material for construction in which a fire prevention measure is possible with piping material itself.

  In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 contains 1 to 10 parts by weight of thermally expandable graphite adjusted to pH 1.5 to 4.0 with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin. It is characterized by comprising a fireproof expansion layer made of the fireproof resin composition.

  The thermally expandable graphite used in the present invention comprises natural scale graphite, pyrolytic graphite, quiche graphite and other powders such as concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, selenic acid and other inorganic acids, concentrated nitric acid, perchloric acid, perchlorate, With a strong oxidizer such as manganate, dichromate, hydrogen peroxide, etc., after the acid treatment to insert an inorganic acid between the graphite layers, the layer structure of carbon obtained by adjusting the pH is maintained. Crystalline compound.

  The pH adjustment method of the thermally expandable graphite is not particularly limited, but normally, in the state of acid treatment that inserts an inorganic acid between the layers of the raw graphite as described above, the pH is 1 or less. There is a method in which the graphite after acid treatment is washed with water to remove the acid remaining on the surface of the graphite and then dried. That is, in order to increase the pH of the thermally expandable graphite, water washing and drying may be repeated.

By the way, in the present invention, the reason why the heat-expandable graphite adjusted to pH 1.5 to 4.0 is blended is that the polyvinyl chloride resin repeats the hydrogen chloride elimination reaction in the presence of an acid to make it flame retardant. The purpose of this is to effectively carbonize the polyvinyl chloride resin at the time of combustion by using the property of generating a characteristic carbide to suppress the combustion and improve the fire resistance performance.
That is, the polyvinyl chloride resin repeats the elimination reaction of hydrogen chloride in the presence of an acid such as Lewis acid or hydrogen chloride to generate a double bond. When hydrogen chloride is desorbed, it itself becomes a catalyst and is likely to cause the next desorption reaction. In addition, next to the generated double bonds, dehydrochlorination is more likely to occur than in the original state, and double bonds are successively generated. This is an elimination chain reaction called a so-called zipper reaction. When the degree of reaction is small, discoloration such as coloring and burn occurs, and carbonization occurs as the reaction proceeds.
Therefore, in order to improve the fire resistance during combustion, the inventors of the present application rather promote the carbonization reaction of the polyvinyl chloride resin under a certain high temperature condition, and before the combustion as the resin, the carbonization structure In order to promote the carbonization of the polyvinyl chloride resin, it was considered that it would be effective to make it difficult to burn, and heat-expandable graphite adjusted to pH 1.5 to 4.0 was blended.

  The reason why the pH of the thermally expandable graphite is in the range of 1.5 to 4.0 is that if the pH is less than 1.5, the acidity is too strong and corrosion of the molding apparatus is likely to occur. is there. On the other hand, if the pH exceeds 4.0, the effect of promoting the carbonization of the polyvinyl chloride resin is weakened, and sufficient fire resistance cannot be obtained.

  In the present invention, the reason why 1 to 10 parts by weight of thermally expandable graphite is blended with 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl chloride resin is that when the thermally expandable graphite is less than 1 part by weight, This is because the thermal expansion property cannot be obtained, the inside of the tube cannot be sufficiently closed, the hot air rises through the inside of the tube, and the fire resistance performance deteriorates. On the other hand, if the heat-expandable graphite exceeds 10 parts by weight, the structure is excessively thermally expanded by heating, the shape cannot be maintained, the residue is dropped, and the fire resistance is lowered. The blending ratio of the thermally expandable graphite is preferably 1 to 8 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin, and more preferably 2 to 7 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin. Part.

The particle size of the thermally expandable graphite used in the invention of claim 1 is not particularly limited, but if the particle size becomes too fine, the expansion coefficient of the refractory resin composition is lowered. On the other hand, if the particle size becomes too large, the structure expands too much due to heating, the shape cannot be maintained, the residue falls off, the fire resistance decreases, and the fire resistant resin composition is used as a piping material. In this case, physical properties such as tensile strength and flat strength are reduced, and the mechanical strength necessary for the pipe material cannot be obtained.
Therefore, the average particle diameter of the thermally expandable graphite used in the invention of claim 1 is preferably 100 to 400 μm, more preferably 120 to 350 μm.

  The polyvinyl chloride resin used in the invention of claim 1 includes, for example, a polyvinyl chloride homopolymer; a vinyl chloride monomer, and a monomer having an unsaturated bond copolymerizable with the vinyl chloride monomer. Copolymers: Examples include graft copolymers obtained by graft copolymerization of vinyl chloride with (co) polymers other than vinyl chloride, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Further, the polyvinyl chloride resin may be chlorinated as necessary.

  The monomer having an unsaturated bond copolymerizable with the vinyl chloride monomer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include α-olefins such as ethylene, propylene, and butylene; vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate; butyl Vinyl ethers such as vinyl ether and cetyl vinyl ether; (meth) acrylic acid esters such as methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate and butyl acrylate; aromatic vinyls such as styrene and α-methylstyrene; N-phenylmaleimide N-substituted maleimides such as N-cyclohexylmaleimide and the like may be used, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The (co) polymer graft-copolymerized with vinyl chloride is not particularly limited as long as vinyl chloride is grafted (co) polymerized. For example, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate- Carbon monoxide copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-butyl acrylate-carbon monoxide copolymer, ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer, ethylene-propylene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, polyurethane , Chlorinated polyethylene, chlorinated polypropylene, and the like. These may be used alone, or two or more thereof may be used in combination.

  The average degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl chloride-based resin is not particularly limited. However, when it becomes smaller, the physical properties of the molded body are lowered, and when it becomes larger, the melt viscosity becomes higher and molding becomes difficult. Preferably, 600-1400 is particularly preferable. The average degree of polymerization is defined as JIS K using a resin obtained by dissolving a composite vinyl chloride resin in tetrahydrofuran (THF), removing insoluble components by filtration, and then removing the THF in the filtrate by drying. It means the average degree of polymerization measured according to -6721 “Testing method of vinyl chloride resin”.

  The polymerization method of the polyvinyl chloride resin is not particularly limited, and any conventionally known polymerization method may be employed, and examples thereof include a bulk polymerization method, a solution polymerization method, an emulsion polymerization method, and a suspension polymerization method. It is done.

  The method for chlorinating the polyvinyl chloride resin is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known chlorination method may be employed, and examples thereof include a thermal chlorination method and a photochlorination method.

  Any of the above polyvinyl chloride resins may be used after being crosslinked or modified within a range not impairing the fire resistance performance of the resin composition. In this case, a resin that has been cross-linked or modified in advance may be used. When an additive or the like is blended, it may be cross-linked or modified at the same time, or it may be cross-linked or modified after the above components are blended in the resin. . There is no particular limitation on the crosslinking method of the resin, and a conventional crosslinking method of polyvinyl chloride resin, for example, crosslinking using various crosslinking agents, peroxides, crosslinking by electron beam irradiation, water crosslinkable material is used. And the like.

  The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention according to claim 1, the refractory resin composition according to claim 1 contains an additive for imparting thermal stability during molding.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 2, wherein the additive for imparting thermal stability during molding is selected from the group consisting of lead stabilizers, organotin stabilizers, and higher fatty acid metal salts. It contains at least one selected, and the total addition ratio is 0.3 to 5.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin.

  Examples of the lead stabilizer include lead white, basic lead sulfite, tribasic lead sulfate, dibasic lead phosphite, dibasic lead phthalate, tribasic lead maleate, silica gel co-precipitated silica. Lead acid, dibasic lead stearate, lead stearate, lead naphthenate are mentioned.

  Examples of the organotin stabilizer include mercaptides such as dibutyltin mercapto, dioctyltin mercapto, and dimethyltin mercapto; dibutyltin malate, dibutyltin malate polymer, dioctyltin malate, dioctyltin malate polymer, and the like. Malates; carboxylates such as dibutyltin mercapto, dibutyltin laurate, and dibutyltin laurate polymer.

  Examples of the higher fatty acid metal salt (metal soap) include, for example, lithium stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, calcium laurate, calcium ricinoleate, strontium stearate, barium stearate, barium laurate, barium ricinoleate. , Cadmium stearate, cadmium laurate, cadmium ricinoleate, cadmium naphthenate, cadmium 2-ethylhexoate, zinc stearate, zinc laurate, zinc ricinoleate, zinc 2-ethylhexoate, lead stearate, dibasic stearic acid Examples include lead and lead naphthenate.

  In the present invention, the total addition ratio of the group consisting of a lead-based stabilizer, an organic tin-based stabilizer, and a higher fatty acid metal salt is 0.3 to 5.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin. The reason is that if the total addition ratio of the group consisting of lead stabilizer, organotin stabilizer and higher fatty acid metal salt is less than 0.3 parts by weight, the thermal stability of the polyvinyl chloride resin during molding is ensured. This is because it is difficult to form carbides during molding. On the other hand, if the total addition ratio of the group consisting of a lead stabilizer, an organotin stabilizer, and a higher fatty acid metal salt exceeds 5.0 parts by weight, the promotion of carbonization of the polyvinyl chloride resin during combustion is inhibited. This is because sufficient fire resistance may not be obtained.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to claim 3, further comprising a basic compound as an additive for imparting thermal stability at the time of molding, the total addition ratio of which is a polyvinyl chloride resin 100 It is 0.3-5.0 weight part with respect to a weight part, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  The basic compound is not particularly limited. For example, calcium carbonate, calcium silicate, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium oxide, barium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, zinc oxide, hydroxide Examples include zinc and iron oxide.

  In the present invention, the reason why the addition ratio of the basic compound is 0.3 to 5.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin is that the addition ratio of the basic compound is less than 0.3 parts by weight. This is because the thermal stability of the polyvinyl chloride resin at the time of molding is difficult to be ensured, and carbides may be easily produced during molding. On the other hand, if the addition ratio of the basic compound exceeds 5.0 parts by weight, the promotion of carbonization of the polyvinyl chloride resin during combustion will be hindered, and sufficient fire resistance may not be obtained.

  The building piping material according to any one of claims 1 to 4 has a flame retardant, a lubricant, a processing aid, an impact modifier, and a heat resistance improver as long as the physical properties thereof are not impaired. Additives such as antioxidants, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, pigments, plasticizers, and thermoplastic elastomers may be added.

  The flame retardant is not particularly limited as long as it is for enhancing flame retardancy during combustion. For example, hydroxides such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, hydrotalcite, antimony dioxide, and antimony trioxide. Antimony oxides such as antimony pentoxide, molybdenum compounds such as molybdenum trioxide, molybdenum disulfide, ammonium molybdate, bromine compounds such as tetrabromobisphenol A, tetrabromoethane, tetrabromoethane, tetrabromoethane, triphenylphosphine Phosphorus compounds such as phosphate and ammonium polyphosphate, calcium borate, zinc borate and the like can be mentioned, but antimony trioxide is particularly preferable as a combustion suppressing effect of polyvinyl chloride. This is because the antimony compound has a very strong synergistic effect in producing a halogenated antimony compound under high temperature conditions and suppressing the combustion cycle in the presence of a halogen compound.

  By using a flame retardant in combination, the heat insulation effect due to the expansion of the thermally expandable graphite and the combustion delay effect due to the flame retardant exhibit a synergistic effect during combustion, and the fire resistance can be improved more efficiently. The number of added flame retardants is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 1 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin. If the flame retardant is less than 1 part by weight, it may be difficult to obtain a sufficient synergistic effect, and if the flame retardant is added in excess of 20 parts by weight, the moldability and physical properties may be significantly reduced. Because there is.

Examples of the lubricant include an internal lubricant and an external lubricant.
The internal lubricant is used for the purpose of lowering the flow viscosity of the molten resin during molding and preventing frictional heat generation. The internal lubricant is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include butyl stearate, lauryl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, epoxy soybean oil, glycerin monostearate, stearic acid, and bisamide. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The external lubricant is used for the purpose of increasing the sliding effect between the molten resin and the metal surface during molding. The external lubricant is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include paraffin wax, polyolefin wax, ester wax, and montanic acid wax. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The processing aid is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include acrylic processing aids such as alkyl acrylate-alkyl methacrylate copolymers having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 to 2,000,000. The acrylic processing aid is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include n-butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate-butyl methacrylate copolymer. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The impact modifier is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer (MBS), chlorinated polyethylene, and acrylic rubber.

  The heat resistance improver is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include α-methylstyrene-based and N-phenylmaleimide-based resins.

  It does not specifically limit as said antioxidant, For example, a phenolic antioxidant etc. are mentioned.

  The light stabilizer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include hindered amine light stabilizers.

  The pigment is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include organic pigments such as azo, phthalocyanine, selenium, and dye lakes; oxides, molybdenum chromates, sulfides / selenides, ferrocyanides, and the like. Examples include inorganic pigments.

Further, a plasticizer may be added to the polyvinyl chloride resin, but it is not preferable to use a large amount because it may reduce the heat resistance and fire resistance of the molded product.
The plasticizer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include dibutyl phthalate, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, and di-2-ethylhexyl adipate.

 The thermoplastic elastomer is not particularly limited. For example, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer (NBR), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene-vinyl acetate-carbon monoxide copolymer (EVACO), Vinyl chloride-based thermoplastic elastomers such as vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer and vinyl chloride-vinylidene chloride copolymer, styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer, urethane-based thermoplastic elastomer, polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer, Examples thereof include polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomers. These thermoplastic elastomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The method for mixing the additive with the polyvinyl chloride resin is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method using hot blending and a method using cold blending.

  By the way, as a piping material for construction of this invention, a fireproof pipe and a fireproof pipe joint are mentioned, for example. Moreover, the building piping material of the present invention is molded by a generally used extrusion molding machine or injection molding machine. The type of the molding machine and the screw shape are not particularly limited as long as they can be sufficiently kneaded in consideration of tensile strength and impact, but an extrusion molding machine capable of continuous molding is preferable.

The invention according to claim 1 is a refractory resin composition comprising 1 to 10 parts by weight of thermally expandable graphite adjusted to pH 1.5 to 4.0 with respect to 100 parts by weight of a polyvinyl chloride resin. Since the fire-resistant expansion layer is provided, the following excellent effects are obtained.
That is, the building piping material of the present invention is blended with thermally expandable graphite adjusted to pH 1.5 to 4.0, so that only the acid inserted between the layers of thermally expandable graphite at the time of combustion. The acid remaining on the surface of the thermally expandable graphite is also released. Therefore, compared to neutralized thermally expandable graphite, the amount of acid released is larger, and the hydrogen chloride elimination reaction of the polyvinyl chloride resin becomes more active, and the carbonization of the polyvinyl chloride resin during combustion is effective. Can proceed. As a result, at the time of combustion, the heating-side end of the tube can be reliably closed by a residue formed by strongly entangled the expanded thermally expandable graphite and the polyvinyl chloride resin carbide.
In addition, since the pH of the heat-expandable graphite is in the range of 1.5 to 4.0, there is no risk of damaging the molding apparatus for molding the piping material.
Further, since the heat-expandable graphite itself is difficult to burn and expands due to heat and exhibits a heat insulating effect, the combustion rate is effectively delayed. In addition, the heat-expandable graphite is blended at an appropriate ratio with respect to the polyvinyl chloride resin, and thus has excellent shape retention of the residue after combustion.
In addition, since a self-extinguishing polyvinyl chloride resin is used as the base resin, the combustion speed is further effectively delayed, and the flame propagation speed during combustion can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the polyvinyl chloride resin has a property of foaming in the early stage of combustion, there is an advantage that the thermally expandable graphite is easily expanded.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein the refractory resin composition according to claim 1 contains an additive for imparting thermal stability at the time of molding. The hydrogen chloride elimination reaction of the vinyl resin is suppressed, and deterioration and carbonization of the resin during molding can be prevented.

The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 2, wherein the additive for imparting thermal stability during molding comprises a lead-based stabilizer, an organic tin-based stabilizer, a higher fatty acid metal salt, and a basic compound. Since at least any one member of the group is included and the total addition ratio is 0.3 to 5.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin, any of the following 1) to 4) The action suppresses the hydrogen chloride elimination reaction of the polyvinyl chloride resin during molding, thereby preventing the resin from being deteriorated and carbonized during molding.
1) Hydrogen chloride scavenging and neutralization 2) Chlorine atom substitution 3) Radical scavenging and deactivation 4) Isolation of conjugated double bonds Lead stabilizers, organotin stabilizers, higher fatty acid metal salts Compared to other additives that give thermal stability during molding, it has even better thermal stability during molding, resulting in better product yield and long run performance during extrusion molding. Yes.
In addition, lead stabilizers, organotin stabilizers, and higher fatty acid metal salts exhibit molding stability even in small amounts, so compared to other additives that give thermal stability during molding, polyvinyl chloride The addition ratio with respect to the resin is small, and the tensile strength and fire resistance of the pipe are not easily lowered.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to claim 3, further comprising a basic compound as an additive for imparting thermal stability at the time of molding, the total addition ratio of which is a polyvinyl chloride resin 100 Since it is 0.3-5.0 weight part with respect to a weight part, the thermal stability at the time of shaping | molding, the tensile strength of a pipe | tube, and fire resistance can be ensured more reliably.

As described above in detail, the construction piping material according to any one of claims 1 to 4 has an excellent fire-expanding property itself, and at the time of combustion, the heating side end portion of the pipe Is reliably closed, so that it is possible to prevent the flame and smoke from turning to the other side partitioned by the partition penetrating portion for a long time.
As a result, when penetrating the piping material into the partition penetration part, there is no need to provide other fireproof members around the piping material as in the past, and marking is performed for position confirmation during temporary piping during construction. No need to perform such work, and it is only necessary to insert the construction piping material of the present invention into the partition through portion, so that the work burden can be greatly reduced and the workability on site can be greatly improved. .

The building piping material P of this embodiment is a single-layer pipe, and is manufactured to have a length of 1200 mm, an outer diameter of 114 mm, a thickness of 6.6 mm, and a nominal diameter of 100A.
Hereinafter, an example is given and explained in detail.

) To measure the pH of the graphite mixture.

Moreover, pH adjustment of the said thermally expansible graphite was performed with the following method.
That is, the thermally expandable graphite was put in a beaker, ion exchange water was added and stirred, and the acid remaining on the surface of the thermally expandable graphite was washed and removed while confirming the pH of the graphite mixed solution with the pH meter. Then, the graphite mixed liquid was filtered, put into a thermostatic bath and dried to obtain thermally expandable graphite having a desired pH. When the desired pH was not achieved by one washing, washing and drying processes were repeated.

And each said material was mix | blended in the ratio shown to (Table 1)-(Table 6), and it stirred and mixed with the Henschel mixer (made by Kawada Kogyo Co., Ltd.) with an internal volume of 200 liters, and obtained the fireproof resin composition. Then, the piping material P for construction used for fire resistance evaluation was produced by extrusion molding with a generally used extrusion molding machine.
Moreover, the test piece used for performance evaluation was produced from this piping material P for construction. The test piece was prepared by cutting a part of the pipe wall of the building piping material P and then press-molding it for 3 minutes at a load of 200 kgf and 190 ° C. to cut a 3 mm thick press plate into 1 cm square.

(Fire resistance evaluation)
A fire resistance test (according to ISO 834-1, an evaluation method for the fire resistance performance test of the revised Building Standard Law, which was enforced on June 1, 2000) was performed by the fire resistance test furnace X shown in FIG.
As the flooring Y, a PC (precast concrete) panel having a thickness of 100 mm was used. The piping material P for construction was penetrated through the partition penetration portion R provided in the floor material Y, exposed in the heating chamber Z by 300 mm, and exposed to the outside of the floor material Y by 800 mm.
Burners V and V are installed on the side wall of the heating chamber Z. Further, a thermocouple Q for temperature measurement is installed in the vicinity of the tip of the building piping material P.
And after heating start, the time (smoke generation time) until smoke comes out from the clearance gap between the division penetration part R and the piping material P for construction was measured. According to the criteria of the 8th division of the Fire Service Law, ◎ (excellent) when smoke generation time was 130 minutes or more, ○ (pass) when 120 minutes or more, and × (fail) when it was less than 120 minutes. The presence or absence of smoke was judged visually.

(Performance evaluation)
In order to determine whether or not the obtained test piece satisfies the performance as a tube, a tensile test (evaluation temperature: 23 ° C.) defined in JISK7113 was performed. In addition, in order to determine whether or not the practical performance as a tube is satisfied, the tensile strength is 45 (MPa) or more at 23 ° C. ◎ (excellent), 30 (MPa) or more is ○ (pass), 30 (MPa) Those less than x were evaluated as x (failed).

(Formability evaluation)
Two points were evaluated: device corrosivity and extrusion stability.
Device corrosivity: After manufacturing for 3 hours, the product was left as it was for 3 days, and the degree of corrosion of the metal hopper portion of the raw material charging portion was visually observed. When there was no abnormality, it was evaluated as ○ (passed), and when red rust was confirmed, it was evaluated as × (failed).
Extrusion stability: During continuous operation for 3 hours, the resin composition discharged from the tip of the extruder was visually confirmed. In the case of no carbide and no burn (yellowing), ◎ (excellent), in the case of no carbide, ○ (passed), and in the case of carbide, × (failed).

(Experimental result)
In (Table 1), (Comparative Example 1) and (Comparative Example 2) showed corrosion of the apparatus because the heat-expandable graphite was too acidic. (Comparative Example 3) In Comparative Example 4, the acidity of the heat-expandable graphite is too weak, so that the carbonization of the vinyl chloride resin during combustion is difficult to promote, and the smoke generation time of 120 minutes cannot be achieved in the fire resistance evaluation. It was a pass.
From this result, it is necessary that the pH of the thermally expandable graphite is in the range of 1.5 to 4.0 in order to prevent the corrosion of the apparatus and to exhibit excellent fire resistance. all right.
In Table 2, (Comparative Example 5) and (Comparative Example 6) were rejected because the proportion of thermally expandable graphite was too small to achieve the smoke generation time of 120 minutes in the fire resistance evaluation. Further, (Comparative Example 7) and (Comparative Example 8) were rejected because they could not achieve the smoke generation time of 120 minutes in the fire resistance evaluation because the blending ratio of the thermally expandable graphite was too large.
From this result, in order to have the necessary strength as a tube and to exhibit excellent fire resistance, it is necessary to blend 1 to 10 parts by weight of thermally expandable graphite with respect to 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride resin. I found out. When the heat-expandable graphite exceeds 10 parts by weight, as shown in FIG. 2, the structure excessively expands due to heating, and the residue 2 falls off without maintaining its shape.
In (Table 3), since (Example 15) had too much addition ratio of the stabilizer, compared with (Example 10)-(Example 14), the tensile strength fell.
In (Table 4), (Example 18) blends epoxidized soybean oil as an additive for imparting thermal stability during molding. However, epoxidized soybean oil does not have a high ability to impart heat stability during molding, and has a high plasticizing effect. As a result, in Example 18, the extrusion molding stability was unacceptable, and the tensile strength and fire resistance were slightly reduced as compared with other examples shown in Table 4.
From these results, in order to obtain a tube with excellent tensile strength and fire resistance and excellent molding stability, lead-based stabilizers and organotin-based stabilizers are added as additives for imparting thermal stability during molding. Including at least one selected from the group consisting of an agent and a higher fatty acid metal salt, the total addition ratio of which is 0.3 to 5.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl chloride resin It has been found suitable.
In (Table 5), since the basic compound was not added to (Example 19), the extrusion molding stability was slightly lower than the other examples shown in (Table 5). In addition, (Example 23) had a slightly lower tensile strength than other examples shown in (Table 5) because the addition ratio of the basic compound was too large.
In (Table 6), (Example 25) contains only hydrotalcite without adding a stabilizer as an additive for imparting thermal stability during molding. Although hydrotalcite has the ability to impart thermal stability, it has failed in terms of extrusion stability because sufficient thermal stability alone cannot be obtained.
From this result, in order to obtain a tube excellent in tensile strength and fire resistance and excellent in molding stability, 0.3 to 5.0 parts by weight of the stabilizer is added to 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride resin. Furthermore, it turned out that it is more suitable to mix | blend and also mix | blend a basic compound 0.3-5.0 weight part.
