[Problems to be Solved by the Prior Art and the Invention] The waterproof type optical fiber cable is (a) to provide lubricity and cushioning between optical fibers and between optical fiber units, and to impart flexibility to the optical fiber cable; (B) For the purpose of preventing water from entering from outside and suppressing the decrease in optical fiber mechanical strength and the increase in photoconductive loss due to moisture, etc., in a cable, for example, between optical fibers in a cable and a unit that bundles them The intervening space is filled with a waterproofing compound (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “filler”).

As the filler, an oily substance having a moderate hardness is generally used, and it is necessary that the filler has a softness that can be easily charged into the cable and a weight that does not flow out even if a hole is formed in the outer sheath of the cable. After the cable is attached, it is exposed to a temperature environment of -40 to + 80 ° C, so that it is necessary that the cable does not solidify at a low temperature and that the volume change is small in a wide temperature range. Further, even if the filler does not solidify at a low temperature, if the volume shrinkage of the filler occurs, the optical fiber may be bent in a single cycle, causing an increase in transmission loss or a gap that allows water to enter.

In addition, it should have appropriate consistency as the filler and have a low oil release so that the oil does not stick and the separated oil does not flow out during cable termination work at the time of attaching or modifying the cable. Is also necessary. The problem of oil separation is not only a problem at the end processing, but even after the cable is attached, if the oil separates, the oil easily leaks from the scratches on the outer skin, causing voids that cause water infiltration and increases transmission loss.

In addition, the filler receives various forces such as shear stress and shear stress while passing through the thin cable at the time of filling. further,
When the cable is attached or after the cable is attached, the same force is applied as the cable is bent. Therefore, it is also important that the filler does not change its consistency before and after receiving such a force, that is, that the difference between the miscible consistency and the immiscible consistency is small.

No. 0, JP-A-60-49308, JP-A-60-185914 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,711,523. Among these, JP-A-60-49308 discloses that the viscosity at 40 ° C. is 10%.
It is recommended that a compound containing 1 to 30% of a polyurea compound having a specific structure in an organic liquid of 550,000 centistokes be used as the filler. The dielectric properties of this compound are the same as those of conventional hydrocarbon waxes, and have excellent properties such as a high dropping point, a large consistency at room temperature, and a coefficient of thermal expansion less than half that of conventional products. However, there is a disadvantage that the degree of oil separation is large at 1.7 to 3.8%. One of the characteristics is that the consistency is as large as 250 to 320. However, such a compound tends to change its consistency when subjected to an external force. However, it is important that the consistency be the same even after receiving an external force. That is, it is desirable that the difference between the admixed consistency and the immiscible consistency be small, but no consideration is given to this problem.

By blending the filler with polybutene having a number average molecular weight of 400 to 1000, the temperature characteristics of the waterproof compound, that is, it does not solidify even at a low temperature, and has a small volume change even in a wide temperature range of -40 to + 80 ° C, In addition, characteristics such as a small change in consistency due to temperature can be easily obtained. Such properties cannot be obtained when mineral oil or the like is used instead of polybutene. If the number average molecular weight of polybutene is less than 400, the resulting waterproofing compound has too high a consistency,
Requires large amounts of expensive urea compounds. On the other hand, if the number average molecular weight is more than 1000, the consistency becomes too small, and if the amount of the urea compound is reduced to adjust the consistency, necessary properties cannot be obtained.

The urea compound used in the present invention is necessary for obtaining a stable consistency and a low oil separation. What is particularly important is the molar ratio between the cyclohexyl group A and the octadecyl group B located at both ends of the urea compound. The molar ratio A / B of the terminal groups A and B is from 0.25 to 9.0, preferably from 0.82 to 3.0. If this ratio is less than 0.25, the stability of the waterproofing compound is poor, the dropping point is remarkably reduced, the degree of oil separation is increased, and oil is easily separated. Further, the difference between the mixing consistency and the immiscible consistency increases, and the consistency tends to change when subjected to an external force. Conversely, if the molar ratio exceeds 9.0, the required amount of the urea compound increases, which is economically disadvantageous.

The urea compound of the present invention is generally diphenylmethane-4,
It is obtained by reacting 4'-diisocyanate with cyclohexylamine and octadecylamine. Specifically, cyclohexylamine and octadecylamine are mixed at a molar ratio of 2: 8 to 9: 1, and 1 mole of diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate is added to 2 moles of the mixture and reacted. . At this time, it is preferable to use polybutene having an average molecular weight of 400 to 1000, which is a compounding agent of the waterproofing compound, as a solvent. It is particularly preferable to determine the amount of the solvent so that the amount of the urea compound after the reaction is 2 to 25% by weight from the beginning.

During the reaction, it is necessary to mix well so that a uniform urea compound is produced. The content of the urea compound thus produced is suitably from 2 to 25% by weight. 2
If it is less than% by weight, the consistency is too high, the stability is poor, the dropping point is remarkably reduced, the degree of oil separation is increased, and the oil is easily separated. Further, the difference between the mixing consistency and the immiscible consistency also increases, and the consistency tends to change when subjected to an external force. On the other hand, if the content of the urea compound exceeds 25% by weight, the waterproofing compound becomes too hard, cannot exert sufficient lubrication cost, it is difficult to fill the cable, and it is economically disadvantageous.

Furthermore, the waterproof type optical fiber cable filled with such a filler has no or very small oil separation degree of the filler, so that liquid does not flow out at the time of terminal processing, so that the joining surface is not stained, No wiping of dripping is required. In addition, since the liquid does not flow out even if the outer sheath of the cable is damaged, there is no space for water to enter, so that it is excellent in workability and safety against inundation.

In this filler, since the ratio A / B of cyclohexyl group A and octadecyl group B in the urea compound is as low as 0.11, even if the blending amount of the urea compound is increased to 10% by weight, the consistency becomes small but the mixing consistency and the inconsistency are low. The difference in mixing consistency is as large as 20 and the oil separation is as large as 2.4%.
