Abstract

PURPOSE:To elevate resistivity against fungi with evolving a less amount of fume and eliminating evolution of harmful halogen gases by adding a metallic hydroxide and an imidazol additive in respective specific ratio to polyolefin. CONSTITUTION:To 100 weight part of polyolefin are added 50-300 weight part of a metallic hydroxide and more than 0.2 weight part of an imidazol additive. For polyolefin, polyethylene, polypropylene or the like is to be used, and for the metallic hydroxide, alminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, alkaline magnesium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, or hydrotalcite is to be used. For the imidazol additive, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, allantoin, glycocyamidine, histamine, histidine, pilocarpine or the like is to be used. With this procedure an insulator becomes excellent in fire resistance, tensile characteristics and resistivity against fungi, and, in addition, evolution of harmful halogen gases can be suppressed during burning.
