Description

本発明は、絶縁電線及びケーブルに関するものであり、更に詳しくはゲル分率40%以下の再生材を利用して得られる絶縁電線及びケーブルに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an insulated wire and cable, and more particularly to an insulated wire and cable obtained by using a recycled material having a gel fraction of 40% or less.

導体の外周を絶縁材料で被覆して絶縁電線が製造される。この絶縁電線を線心とし、これをシースで被覆してなるケーブル、この絶縁電線を線心とし、これを複数束ねた後にシースで被覆してなるケーブルが提供される。さらに、これら絶縁電線や単線の電力ケーブルを複数束ねた複線のケーブルがある。本願発明において「絶縁電線」という用語は、線心を含む意味で用いる。
絶縁電線又はケーブルの被覆材には、ポリ塩化ビニルやポリエチレン、架橋ポリエチレンが使用されている。使用後、回収された電線又はケーブルは導体と被覆材に分離され、被覆材は廃材としてリサイクルされ、又は埋立処理される。
被覆廃材の中でもポリ塩化ビニルやポリエチレンを主成分とする廃材は、熱可塑性であり、再成形加工が容易であることから、再び電線被覆材としてリサイクルすることが容易であった。
An insulated wire is manufactured by covering the outer periphery of the conductor with an insulating material. There are provided a cable in which this insulated wire is used as a wire core and this is covered with a sheath, and a cable in which this insulated wire is used as a wire core and a plurality of these wires are bundled and then covered with a sheath. Furthermore, there are double-wire cables in which a plurality of these insulated wires and single-wire power cables are bundled. In the present invention, the term “insulated wire” is used to include a wire core.
Polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and cross-linked polyethylene are used as a covering material for insulated wires or cables. After use, the collected electric wire or cable is separated into a conductor and a covering material, and the covering material is recycled as a waste material or is landfilled.
Among the covering waste materials, the waste materials mainly composed of polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene are thermoplastic and can be easily re-formed, so that they can be easily recycled as the wire covering materials.

一方、架橋ポリエチレンを主成分とする被覆廃材は、架橋による3次元構造を有しているため加熱溶融できず、リサイクルすることが難しいが、近時、所定の手段で架橋ポリエチレンの架橋を切断することにより、当該樹脂を熱可塑化可能にし、リサイクル可能な再生材を得る技術が開発された(特許文献1参照)。そして、この再生材を混合したポリオレフィン系樹脂組成物を用いて絶縁電線の絶縁層を形成することも報告されている(特許文献2参照)。
しかしながら、上記の特許文献2に記載の技術では、ポリオレフィン系樹脂組成物に配合できる再生材の量は50質量%が上限であり、これを超える再生材を配合したものであると、絶縁層に要求される特性を満足することが出来ないとされている。
On the other hand, the coated waste material mainly composed of crosslinked polyethylene cannot be heated and melted because it has a three-dimensional structure by crosslinking, and is difficult to recycle. However, recently, the crosslinked polyethylene is cut by a predetermined means. As a result, a technique for making the resin thermoplastic and obtaining a recyclable recycled material has been developed (see Patent Document 1). And forming the insulating layer of an insulated wire using the polyolefin-type resin composition which mixed this recycled material is also reported (refer patent document 2).
However, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, the upper limit of the amount of the recycled material that can be blended in the polyolefin-based resin composition is 50% by mass. It is said that the required characteristics cannot be satisfied.

特許文献3には、ゲル分率を10%以下に調整した再生材を50質量%を超えて含有する樹脂組成物を用いて絶縁被覆層を形成することが記載されている。しかし、特許文献3の技術では、使用する再生材をゲル分率10%以下にまで加工しなければならず、再生コストが増大する。また、特許文献3の技術は、絶縁被覆層を形成する樹脂組成物を過酸化物架橋方式により架橋させるものであり、シラン架橋方式や放射線架橋方式等の架橋方式にまでは適用できない。   Patent Document 3 describes that an insulating coating layer is formed using a resin composition containing a recycled material having a gel fraction adjusted to 10% or less in excess of 50% by mass. However, in the technique of Patent Document 3, the recycled material to be used must be processed to a gel fraction of 10% or less, which increases the regeneration cost. Moreover, the technique of patent document 3 bridge | crosslinks the resin composition which forms an insulation coating layer by a peroxide bridge | crosslinking system, and cannot be applied to bridge | crosslinking systems, such as a silane crosslinking system and a radiation crosslinking system.

本発明に用いる再生材は、架橋ポリオレフィン単独重合体及び/又は架橋オレフィン共重合体を含む廃材を再生処理してゲル分率40%以下にすることにより得られる。
再生材の架橋度は、一般に、ゲル分率で示される。前記再生処理の程度は、このゲル分率を目安に調節することができる。廃材の再生処理を高度に行うと、得られる再生材のゲル分率は小さくなる。
本発明において、再生材のゲル分率は、加温したキシレンに再生材を溶解した際に、溶解せずに残った再生材の質量を、溶解前の再生材の質量に対する割合(%)で表したものであり、JIS C 3005中の「4.25架橋度」に従って測定したものである。
前記再生処理の程度が低く、再生材のゲル分率が40%を超えると、電線被覆材としての特性、特に、絶縁層に要求される機械的特性、電気的特性に劣る可能性がある。再生材のゲル分率は35%以下であることが好ましく、5〜30%とすることがより好ましい。ゲル分率を5%未満にまで下げるべく再生処理を過剰に行うと、メルトフローレート(MFR)が大きくなりすぎて電線やケーブル製造時の加工性が低下するおそれがある。再生材のゲル分率は10%を超えることがより好ましい。
The recycled material used in the present invention can be obtained by regenerating a waste material containing a crosslinked polyolefin homopolymer and / or a crosslinked olefin copolymer to a gel fraction of 40% or less.
The degree of cross-linking of the recycled material is generally indicated by a gel fraction. The degree of the regeneration treatment can be adjusted using the gel fraction as a guide. When waste material is highly recycled, the resulting recycled material has a reduced gel fraction.
In the present invention, the gel fraction of the recycled material is the ratio (%) of the mass of the recycled material that remains without being dissolved when the recycled material is dissolved in heated xylene to the mass of the recycled material before dissolution. It is shown and measured according to “4.25 degree of crosslinking” in JIS C 3005.
If the degree of the regeneration treatment is low and the gel fraction of the recycled material exceeds 40%, the properties as a wire coating material, particularly the mechanical properties and electrical properties required for the insulating layer may be inferior. The gel fraction of the recycled material is preferably 35% or less, and more preferably 5 to 30%. If the regeneration process is excessively carried out so as to reduce the gel fraction to less than 5%, the melt flow rate (MFR) becomes too large and the workability during the production of electric wires and cables may be reduced. The gel fraction of the recycled material is more preferably more than 10%.

廃材の再生処理は、ゲル分率を40%以下に低下させることができれば特に制限はないが、例えば同方向に回転する2軸押出機を用いて、せん断速度200sec−1以上、好ましくは300〜800sec−1、処理温度250〜400℃で廃材を処理することにより、ゲル分率が40%以下の再生材を得ることができる。なお、本発明における剪断速度とは、押出機のスクリューエレメント最外周部の周速度(mm/s)をスクリューとバレルとのクリアランス(mm)で除した数値をいう。また、再生処理を行う前の廃材のゲル分率は通常50〜70%であるものが多いが、それ以外のものでも再生処理できる。
本発明に用いる再生材は、固形分を意味する。
The recycling treatment of the waste material is not particularly limited as long as the gel fraction can be reduced to 40% or less. For example, using a twin-screw extruder that rotates in the same direction, a shear rate of 200 sec −1 or more, preferably 300 to By processing the waste material at 800 sec −1 and a processing temperature of 250 to 400 ° C., a recycled material having a gel fraction of 40% or less can be obtained. In addition, the shear rate in this invention means the numerical value which remove | divided the peripheral speed (mm / s) of the screw element outermost part of an extruder by the clearance (mm) of a screw and a barrel. Further, the gel fraction of the waste material before the regeneration treatment is usually 50 to 70% in many cases, but other materials can be subjected to the regeneration treatment.
The recycled material used in the present invention means a solid content.

本発明においては、前記の再生材と、特定の性状の直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン(LLDPE、以下、単に直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンという。)とを特定の混合比で混合した樹脂組成物を電線及びケーブルの被覆材として使用する。当該直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンは、架橋されたことのないポリエチレンであって、以下に述べる性状を有する。中でも、一度も成形されたことがない直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン(いわゆるバージン材)であることが好ましい。   In the present invention, a resin composition obtained by mixing the recycled material and a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE, hereinafter simply referred to as linear low density polyethylene) having a specific property at a specific mixing ratio is used as an electric wire. Used as a cable covering material. The linear low-density polyethylene is a polyethylene that has never been crosslinked and has the properties described below.

表1及び2に示すように、本発明で規定するよりもゲル分率の高い再生材を用いた比較例5及び6では、絶縁体の引張伸びが小さく、加熱残率(引張強度)又は加熱変形率でも劣る結果となった。
また、本発明で規定するゲル分率の再生材を用いた場合であっても、再生材と直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンの総含有量に占める再生材の割合を80質量%とすると、絶縁体の引張強度及び絶縁体の引張伸びが上記規格を満たさず、さらに加熱残率(引張伸び)、加熱変形率、耐トラッキング試験において劣る場合があった(比較例1〜4)。
また、本発明で規定する再生材を用いても、本発明で規定するよりもMw/Mnの低い直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンを用いた場合には、絶縁体の引張伸びが規格を満たさず、絶縁体の引張強度、加熱残率(引張伸び)、加熱変形率、耐トラッキング試験においても劣る場合があった(比較例7、8)。
As shown in Tables 1 and 2, in Comparative Examples 5 and 6 using a recycled material having a higher gel fraction than specified in the present invention, the tensile elongation of the insulator is small and the residual heating rate (tensile strength) or heating The deformation rate was also inferior.
Further, even when the regenerated material having the gel fraction defined in the present invention is used, if the ratio of the regenerated material to the total content of the regenerated material and the linear low-density polyethylene is 80% by mass, the insulator The tensile strength of the insulator and the tensile elongation of the insulator did not satisfy the above-mentioned standards, and there were cases where the residual heating rate (tensile elongation), heating deformation rate, and tracking resistance test were inferior (Comparative Examples 1 to 4).
Moreover, even when using the recycled material defined in the present invention, when using linear low density polyethylene having a lower Mw / Mn than defined in the present invention, the tensile elongation of the insulator does not meet the standard, There were cases where the tensile strength, residual heating rate (tensile elongation), heating deformation rate, and tracking resistance test of the insulator were inferior (Comparative Examples 7 and 8).

一方、本発明で規定する再生材と直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンとを本発明で規定する割合で混合した再生材混合樹脂組成物を用いた実施例1〜8の絶縁電線は、上記のいずれの規格も満足するものであった。すなわち、実施例1〜8では、再生材と直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンの総含有量に占める再生材の割合を50質量%より高くしているが、このように再生材の含有量を高度に高めた条件下においても上記の規格を満足することが示されている。なお、このことから、再生材と直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンの総含有量に占める再生材の割合が50質量%以下であれば、当然に上記の規格を満足することも理解できる。   On the other hand, the insulated wires of Examples 1 to 8 using the recycled material mixed resin composition in which the recycled material specified in the present invention and the linear low density polyethylene were mixed in the ratio specified in the present invention are any of the above. The standard was also satisfied. That is, in Examples 1-8, the ratio of the recycled material to the total content of the recycled material and the linear low density polyethylene is higher than 50% by mass. It has been shown that the above standards are satisfied even under elevated conditions. From this, it can be understood that the above-mentioned standard is naturally satisfied if the ratio of the recycled material to the total content of the recycled material and the linear low density polyethylene is 50% by mass or less.
