【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、非金属製の地中埋設管の埋設位置を掘り出すことなく、位置検知するために埋設管に併設するロケーション用電線の被覆材料に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、地表からの探知が困難なビニールパイプやポリエチレンパイプ等のプラスチックパイプ並びに非金属製のパイプ等の地中埋設管の位置の発見、探知を容易とし且つ掘削時の事故防止を図るために、該地中埋設管とは別に密接に併設した位置検知(以下、単にロケーションと称する)用電線が用いられてきた。そのロケーション用電線に用いる被覆材としては、カーボンブラックを多量にクロロプレンゴムに配合した導電性ゴム組成物が用いられている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、クロロプレンゴムとカーボンブラックからなる導電性ゴム組成物は、水を含むことにより膨潤し、被覆に亀裂がはいること及び、水に接する条件下でロケーションのために必要な電圧を長時間かけると、電線表面に凹凸が生じることがあり、その対策が求められていた。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、上記原因はクロロプレンゴムは極性が高いため水と親和性が良くなり膨潤する結果に起因するものと考え、極性の低い材料について種々検討した結果、ポリオレフィン系材料の中で特定範囲の粘度(100℃でのムーニー粘度が25〜60)を有するゴム材を選択し且つ特定の(120℃×1時間での揮発成分が1%以下と少ない)耐熱性プロセスオイルをも配合し、且つカーボンブラックの特定量(50〜140重量部)を加えることにより、該ロケーション用電線の導電性被覆に亀裂や電線表面に凹凸が生じることが解消することを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0005】
即ち、本発明は:
(1) ポリオレフィン系ゴム100重量部に対し、カーボンブラック50〜140重量部、耐熱性プロセスオイル30〜70重量部を配合した組成物において、ベースポリオレフィン系ゴムが100℃でのムーニー粘度が25〜60、耐熱性プロセスオイルが120℃×1時間での揮発成分が1%以下である導電性ゴム組成物を提供する。また、
(2) ポリオレフィン系ゴムがエチレン−αオレフィンの2元共重合体からなり、該αオレフィン成分がプロピレン、ブテン、ヘキセン、オクテンのいずれかである点にも特徴を有する。また、
【0006】
(3) ポリオレフィン系ゴムがエチレン−プロピレン−ジエンの3元共重合体からなり、該ジエン成分がジシクロペンタジエン又はエチリデンノルボルネンである点にも特徴を有する。また、
(4) カーボンブラックがアセチレンブラック又はファーネスブラックであり、そのDBP吸油量が75ml/100g以上である点にも特徴を有する。また、
(5) (1)〜(4)のいずれかに記載の導電性ゴム組成物がポリオレフィン系ゴム100重量部に対して過酸化物系架橋剤0.2〜5重量部を含有する点にも特徴を有する。また、
(6) (1)〜(5)のいずれかに記載の導電性ゴム組成物を用いる地中埋設管の位置検知用電線の被覆材を提供する。
【0007】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明では、高い耐水性を有する点からポリオレフィン系ゴムを基材とすることが必要である。
本発明に使用するポリオレフィン系ゴム基材は、100℃でのムーニー粘度(JIS K6300に準拠)が25〜60、好ましくは30〜55、より好ましくは35〜40であることが必要である。
このようなポリオレフィン系ゴム基材には、具体的にエチレン−αオレフィンの2元共重合体からなり、該αオレフィン成分がプロピレン、ブテン、ヘキセン、オクテンのいずれかであることが、特にオクテンであることが好ましい。
【0008】
また、エチレン−プロピレン−ジエンの3元共重合体からなり、該ジエン成分が非共役ジエンであることが望ましく、具体的には5−エチリデン−2−ノルボネン、5−イソプロピリデン−2−ノルボネン、5−イソプロペニル−2−ノルボネン、ビニルノルボネン、トリシクロペンタジエン、ジシクロペンタジエン、シクロオクタジエン、ノルボルナジエン等を挙げることができる。この場合、ジシクロペンタジエン又はエチリデンノルボルネンの使用が好ましい。
【0009】
この場合に、エチレン含量がエチレンとαオレフィン(プロピレン)との和に対して50〜80重量%、好ましくは55〜80重量%、より好ましくは65〜75重量%であることが望ましい。
エチレン含量が50重量%未満では耐久性が低下すると共に架橋効率が低下するようになり、また80重量%を越えるとゴム材料の押出加工性が低下するとともに、結晶化によって分子運動が促進されてまた架橋効率が低下するようになる。
【0010】
本発明に使用するエチレン−プロピレン−ジエンの3元共重合体において、ジエン成分は共重合体ゴムに不飽和度を与える成分であり、エチレン−プロピレン共重合体の特性を損なわない範囲の微量で良い。
また、該ポリオレフィン系ゴム基材の100℃でのムーニー粘度が25未満では引張破断強度が所期の値にならないし、また60を越えると押出加工性が非常に悪くなり、押出機内でゴム材料が架橋を起こしてしまう等の不都合がある。
【0011】
本発明では、ベースゴム(ポリオレフィン系ゴム)100重量部当たりカーボンブラック50〜140重量部、ましくは80〜140重量部を配合することを要する。
カーボンブラックの配合量が50重量部未満では所望の導電性が得られず、また、140重量部を越えると導電性は得られるものの押出性が非常に悪く、また強度も低下する傾向がある。
この際に、カーボンブラックのDBP吸油量がファーネス系の場合は75ml/100g以上、好ましくは75〜170ml/100g以上;アセチレンブラック系の場合は150ml/100g以上、好ましくは180〜200ml/100g以上であることが、所期の導電を得る観点から望ましい。カーボンブラックのDBP吸油量が75ml/100g未満であると多量に配合しても導電性が十分に出ず、結果として規格内に納めることが困難である。
【0012】
好ましいカーボンブラックとしては、アセチレンブラック又はファーネスブラックであって、そのDBP吸油量が所定の範囲を有するものを挙げることができる。
しかし、導電性を高めたままでは、水中で通電試験(12V×72hr、3%塩水中)を行うと、導電層を流れる電流によりジュール熱が発生し、導電層内の揮発し易い成分がガス化して被覆内に気泡が生じるおそれがある。
【0013】
そこで、揮発成分について種々検討した結果、ゴム材料中のプロセスオイルに起因することを発見し、使用するプロセスオイルからの揮発量が120℃×1時間での揮発減量が1%以下、好ましくは0.8%以下であれば問題を起こさないことが判明した。
上記耐熱性プロセスオイルとしては、成分的にはパラフィン系及び/又はナフテン系の中から選択され且つ上記特定範囲の揮発減量のものが好適に使用される。
【0014】
本発明において、特定範囲の粘度(100℃で25〜60)を有するポリオレフィン系ゴム、特にエチレン−αオレフィンの2元共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン−ジエンの3元共重合体は、架橋により三次元化することで強度、伸びのバランスをとることが望ましいが、該架橋系には大別して硫黄系と過酸化物系とがある。
この中、硫黄系架橋剤は架橋点の極性が高く、水による膨潤対策が不十分であったが、過酸化物系架橋剤では架橋点の構造が低い極性のまま保たれるので、水に対する膨潤は低く抑えることができる。
【0015】
本発明に使用する過酸化物系架橋剤としては、例えばジクミルパーオキサイド、2,5−ジメチル−2,5−ジtブチルパーオキシヘキサン、tブチルクミルパーオキサイド、ジtブチルパーオキサイド、1,1−ジtブチルパーオキシ−3,5,5−トリメチルシクロヘキサンを挙げることができ、特にジクミルパーオキサイド、ジtブチルパーオキサイドの使用が好ましい。
また、過酸化物系架橋剤を使用する場合には、必要に応じてp−キノンジオキシム、ラウリルメタクリレート、エチレングリコールアクリレート等の架橋助剤を配合しても良い。
上記過酸化物系架橋剤の配合量は、ポリオレフィン系ゴム100重量部に対して0.2〜5重量部、好ましくは0.5〜3重量部である。
【0016】
更に、必要に応じて2,6−ジtブチル−pクレゾール等のフェノール系;pフェニレンジアミン、フェニル−pフェニレンジアミン等のアミン系;2,2−メチレン−ビス(4−メチル−6−tブチルフェノール)、ヒンダードフェノール等のビスフェノール系;トリノニルホスファイト等のホスファイト系のような酸化防止剤:
酸化マグネシウム、酸化アルミニウム、クレー、タルク、炭酸カルシウム等の充填剤:ステアリン酸等の滑剤:各種の添加剤を適宜配合量で添加しても良い。

表1〜2に示す各種成分を所定の配合割合で100℃、10分間バンバーリーミキサーで混合し、その後オープンロールで必要に応じて架橋剤、架橋助剤を添加し、該ゴム組成物を160℃、30分間プレス成形し、厚さ2mmのシートを作成し、引張強度、伸び試験に供した。

以上の結果、実施例1〜4に示されるように、ムーニー粘度が35、28であり所定の範囲内(100℃で25〜60)のムーニー粘度を有するポリオレフィン系ゴム基材に対して、揮発成分が0.5%であり所定の範囲の揮発成分(120℃×1時間での揮発成分が1%以下)しか有しない特定の耐熱性プロセスオイルを特定範囲内の添加量(30〜70重量部)で配合した、更にDPB吸油量が75ml/100g、160ml/100gであり特定範囲内(75ml/100g以上)のDPB吸油量を持つカーボンブラックをも(請求項4)配合した導電性ゴム組成物が導電性、耐熱性、押出性等の点で非常に優れていた。

比較例4では、導電性を高めるために、カーボンブラックの添加量を180重量部と多くすると、シートの強度が不足する。
一方、比較例5では、カーボンブラックの添加量を40重量部と少なくすると、所定の導電性を得ることができない。
比較例6は、ポリオレフィン系ゴムではない従来のクロロプレンゴムベースであり、実施例1〜4と同様の処方でプロセスオイル−Bを少量(15重量部)と、カーボンブラックを添加したが、導電性、耐熱性、押出性のいずれの点でも劣っていた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coating material for a location electric wire that is attached to a buried pipe in order to detect the position without digging out a buried position of a non-metallic underground pipe.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in order to facilitate the discovery and detection of underground pipes such as plastic pipes such as vinyl pipes and polyethylene pipes and non-metallic pipes that are difficult to detect from the ground surface, and to prevent accidents during excavation, A position detection (hereinafter simply referred to as “location”) electric wire that is in close proximity to the underground pipe has been used. As a covering material used for the electric wire for location, a conductive rubber composition in which a large amount of carbon black is mixed with chloroprene rubber is used.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conductive rubber composition composed of chloroprene rubber and carbon black swells when it contains water, and the coating is cracked and the voltage necessary for the location is applied for a long time under conditions in contact with water. As a result, irregularities may occur on the surface of the electric wire, and countermeasures have been demanded.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventor considers that the above cause is caused by the result that the chloroprene rubber has a high polarity and therefore has a good affinity with water and swells. A rubber material having a viscosity (Mooney viscosity at 100 ° C. of 25 to 60) is selected and a specific heat-resistant process oil (less than 1% of volatile components at 120 ° C. × 1 hour) is blended, Further, by adding a specific amount (50 to 140 parts by weight) of carbon black, it was found that cracks and irregularities on the surface of the electric wire of the electric wire for location were eliminated, and the present invention was completed. It was.
[0005]
That is, the present invention provides:
(1) In a composition in which 50 to 140 parts by weight of carbon black and 30 to 70 parts by weight of heat-resistant process oil are blended with 100 parts by weight of polyolefin rubber, the base polyolefin rubber has a Mooney viscosity of 25 to 25 at 100 ° C. 60. Provided is a conductive rubber composition in which a heat-resistant process oil has a volatile component of 1% or less at 120 ° C. × 1 hour. Also,
(2) The polyolefin rubber is composed of an ethylene-α-olefin binary copolymer, and the α-olefin component is any one of propylene, butene, hexene, and octene. Also,
[0006]
(3) The polyolefin rubber is made of an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, and the diene component is dicyclopentadiene or ethylidene norbornene. Also,
(4) The carbon black is acetylene black or furnace black, and the DBP oil absorption is 75 ml / 100 g or more. Also,
(5) The conductive rubber composition according to any one of (1) to (4) also contains 0.2 to 5 parts by weight of a peroxide-based crosslinking agent with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin-based rubber. Has characteristics. Also,
(6) Provided is a coating material for a position detecting electric wire for underground pipes using the conductive rubber composition according to any one of (1) to (5).
[0007]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
In the present invention, it is necessary to use a polyolefin-based rubber as a base material from the viewpoint of high water resistance.
The polyolefin rubber substrate used in the present invention needs to have a Mooney viscosity (based on JIS K6300) at 100 ° C. of 25 to 60, preferably 30 to 55, more preferably 35 to 40.
Such a polyolefin-based rubber base material is specifically composed of a binary copolymer of ethylene-α-olefin, and the α-olefin component is one of propylene, butene, hexene, and octene, particularly octene. Preferably there is.
[0008]
Further, it comprises an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, and the diene component is preferably a non-conjugated diene. Specifically, 5-ethylidene-2-norbonene, 5-isopropylidene-2-norbonene, Examples include 5-isopropenyl-2-norbornene, vinyl norbornene, tricyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, cyclooctadiene, norbornadiene, and the like. In this case, the use of dicyclopentadiene or ethylidene norbornene is preferred.
[0009]
In this case, the ethylene content is desirably 50 to 80% by weight, preferably 55 to 80% by weight, and more preferably 65 to 75% by weight with respect to the sum of ethylene and α-olefin (propylene).
When the ethylene content is less than 50% by weight, the durability is lowered and the crosslinking efficiency is lowered. When the ethylene content is more than 80% by weight, the extrudability of the rubber material is lowered and the molecular motion is promoted by crystallization. Further, the crosslinking efficiency is lowered.
[0010]
In the ethylene-propylene-diene ternary copolymer used in the present invention, the diene component is a component that imparts unsaturation to the copolymer rubber, and is in a trace amount that does not impair the properties of the ethylene-propylene copolymer. good.
Further, if the Mooney viscosity at 100 ° C. of the polyolefin-based rubber base material is less than 25, the tensile strength at break does not become a desired value, and if it exceeds 60, the extrudability becomes very bad, and the rubber material is used in the extruder. Has the disadvantage of causing cross-linking.
[0011]
In the present invention, the base rubber (a polyolefin rubber) carbon black from 50 to 140 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight, the good Mashiku requires blending the 80-140 parts by weight.
If the blending amount of carbon black is less than 50 parts by weight, desired conductivity cannot be obtained. If it exceeds 140 parts by weight, conductivity is obtained, but extrudability is very poor and strength tends to be lowered.
At this time, the DBP oil absorption of carbon black is 75 ml / 100 g or more, preferably 75 to 170 ml / 100 g or more in the case of a furnace system; 150 ml / 100 g or more, preferably 180 to 200 ml / 100 g or more in the case of an acetylene black system. It is desirable from the viewpoint of obtaining the desired conductivity. If the DBP oil absorption of carbon black is less than 75 ml / 100 g, even if it is blended in a large amount, sufficient conductivity is not obtained, and as a result, it is difficult to keep it within the standard.
[0012]
Preferable carbon black includes acetylene black or furnace black having a DBP oil absorption in a predetermined range.
However, if the electrical conductivity test is performed in water (12 V x 72 hr, 3% salt water) with the conductivity increased, Joule heat is generated by the current flowing through the conductive layer, and the easily volatile component in the conductive layer is a gas. There is a possibility that bubbles may be formed in the coating.
[0013]
Therefore, as a result of various investigations on volatile components, it was discovered that the volatile component was caused by the process oil in the rubber material, and the volatile loss from the process oil used was 120 ° C. × 1 hour, and the volatile loss was 1% or less, preferably 0 It was found that no problem occurred if it was .8% or less.
As the heat-resistant process oil, components selected from paraffinic and / or naphthenic components and having a reduced volatilization within the specific range are preferably used.
[0014]
In the present invention, a polyolefin rubber having a specific range of viscosity ( 25 to 60 at 100 ° C. ), particularly an ethylene-α-olefin binary copolymer and an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer are tertiary by crosslinking. Although it is desirable to balance the strength and elongation by normalization, the crosslinking system is roughly classified into a sulfur system and a peroxide system.
Among these, the sulfur crosslinking agent has a high polarity at the crosslinking point and insufficient measures against swelling due to water, but the peroxide crosslinking agent keeps the structure of the crosslinking point at a low polarity. Swelling can be kept low.
[0015]
Examples of the peroxide-based crosslinking agent used in the present invention include dicumyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-tbutylperoxyhexane, t-butylcumyl peroxide, di-tbutyl peroxide, 1 , 1-di-t-butylperoxy-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexane, and particularly preferred is dicumyl peroxide or di-t-butyl peroxide.
Moreover, when using a peroxide type crosslinking agent, you may mix | blend crosslinking adjuvants, such as p-quinone dioxime, lauryl methacrylate, and ethylene glycol acrylate, as needed.
The amount of the peroxide crosslinking agent is 0.2 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin rubber.
[0016]
Furthermore, phenols such as 2,6-di-t-butyl-p cresol as required; amines such as p-phenylenediamine and phenyl-p-phenylenediamine; 2,2-methylene-bis (4-methyl-6-t Antioxidants such as butylphenol), bisphenols such as hindered phenols; phosphites such as trinonyl phosphite:
Fillers such as magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, clay, talc and calcium carbonate: lubricants such as stearic acid: various additives may be added in appropriate amounts.
[0017]
In addition, the conductive rubber composition of the present invention may contain a small amount of rubber other than the polyolefin rubber of the present invention.
In order to obtain the conductive rubber composition of the present invention, a polyolefin rubber base material, various compounding agents, etc. are charged and mixed in a kneading extruder and a Banbury mixer, and then a cross-linking agent is added using an open roll. You may do it by the method of.
[0018]
【Example】
The present invention is specifically illustrated by the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the invention.
Various components shown in Tables 1 and 2 are mixed at a predetermined blending ratio at 100 ° C. for 10 minutes with a Banbury mixer, and then a cross-linking agent and a cross-linking aid are added as necessary with an open roll. The sheet was press molded at 30 ° C. for 30 minutes to prepare a sheet having a thickness of 2 mm and subjected to tensile strength and elongation tests.
[0019]
Further, the rubber composition was extruded onto a 2 mm 2 tin-plated annealed copper wire with a thickness of 1.3 mm and subjected to an energization test.
(1) Tensile strength: Performed according to JIS K6301.
(2) Elongation: Performed according to JIS K6301.
(3) Energization test: By observing the appearance of the surface of the electric wire after being immersed in 3% salt water and energized at 12 V for 72 hours. It is a measure of heat resistance, and “good” in the energization test indicates that the sheet surface has little change even when energized and immersed in concentrated salt water for a long period of time and is excellent in heat resistance.
(4) Extrudability: Based on the result of observing the state of extrusion when extruded at an extrusion temperature of 120 ° C.

As a result of the above, as shown in Examples 1 to 4, the Mooney viscosity was 35 and 28 , and the volatilization was performed with respect to the polyolefin rubber base material having a Mooney viscosity within a predetermined range ( 25 to 60 at 100 ° C. ). A specific heat-resistant process oil containing only 0.5% of a component and having a predetermined range of volatile components ( 120 ° C. × 1 hour volatile components of 1% or less ) within a specific range ( 30 to 70 % by weight) Part II), and further comprising carbon black having a DPB oil absorption amount of 75 ml / 100 g and 160 ml / 100 g within a specific range ( 75 ml / 100 g or more ). ( Claim 4 ) The product was very excellent in terms of conductivity, heat resistance, extrudability and the like.
[0025]
In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, since process oil- B having a volatile component of 2% is used, the heat resistance of the oil is insufficient, and the energization test is not cleared.
In Comparative Example 2, since the Mooney viscosity of the polyolefin rubber base material ( EPDM-B ) was as low as 19 , the strength of the sheet was insufficient.
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 3, since the Mooney viscosity of the polyolefin-based rubber substrate ( EPDM-C ) is as high as 65, extrusion processing cannot be performed.
In Comparative Example 4, if the addition amount of carbon black is increased to 180 parts by weight in order to increase conductivity, the strength of the sheet is insufficient.
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 5, if the amount of carbon black added is reduced to 40 parts by weight , predetermined conductivity cannot be obtained.
Comparative Example 6 is a conventional chloroprene rubber base that is not a polyolefin-based rubber. A small amount (15 parts by weight ) of process oil- B was added in the same formulation as in Examples 1 to 4, and carbon black was added. , Heat resistance and extrudability were inferior.
