Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the wire/cable stated in the title flame retardant by making an electric insulation layer from ethylene-alphaolefin copolymer and polyolefin with carbonyl radical, thereby providing the compound material with specific composition, density, melting point and composition ratio. CONSTITUTION:An electric insulation layer is formed with the compound material produced as a result of adding and mixing 50 to 300 weight part of a metallic oxide to 100 weight part of a polyolefin containing ethylene-alphaolefin copolymer and carbonyl radical. The above-described ethylene-alphaolefin copolymer is made to have a density of 0.85-0.91 and a melting point of 110 deg.C or higher by copolymerizing ethylene with alphaolefin having 3-12 carbons. Setting the density in such range allows to prevent the mechanical strength and flexibility of the copolymer from lowering, and making the melting point to 110 deg.C or higher allows to preserve tenacity at normal temperature. In addition, combinational use of polyolefin with carbonyl radical to which a metallic oxide is added and mixed allows to produce a flame retardant wire or cable.

[Example] In this invention, the density of the ethylene-α olefin copolymer is specified as 0.85 to 0.91 because if it is less than 0.85, the mechanical strength will decrease significantly, and if it exceeds 0.91. This is because flexibility decreases. Further, unless the melting point (peak temperature when measured with a differential scanning calorimeter) is 110° C. or higher, toughness at room temperature is lacking. The melt index is not particularly defined, but in consideration of processability, it is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 1O.

It has been found that it is effective to blend a polyolefin having a carbonyl group into the ethylene-α-olefin copolymer obtained as described above to improve flame retardance. Examples of polyolefins having a carbonyl group include ethylene-methyl copolymer, ethylene acrylate copolymer, ethyl butyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene methyl methacrylate copolymer, and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. The carbonyl group-containing content of the blend must be in the range of 5 to 20% by weight. If the amount is less than 5% by weight, sufficient flame retardancy cannot be imparted, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, the electrical insulation properties will be significantly reduced.

Examples include pyrotalcites. The extrusion processability of the composition can be improved by using those that have been surface-treated with a silane coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent, a fatty acid metal salt, or the like. The metal hydroxide needs to be contained in a range of 50 to 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymer component; if it is less than 50 parts by weight, the desired flame retardance cannot be imparted, and if it exceeds 300 parts by weight, Mechanical strength such as tensile properties becomes insufficient.

Such a resin composition is coated on the outer periphery of the conductor directly or via a semiconductive layer to form a crosslinked or non-crosslinked electrical insulating layer. In the case of crosslinking, it is common to carry out thermal crosslinking using a peroxide typified by dicumyl peroxide and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butyl peroxy)hexyne-3. Other methods include so-called silane water crosslinking, in which an organic silane such as vinyltriethoxysilane is grafted onto a polymer, and then brought into contact with water to form a silane bond using a silanol condensation catalyst for crosslinking, or by irradiation with ionizing radiation such as an electron beam. May be crosslinked.
