【発明の詳細な説明】 〈産業上の利用分野〉 本発明は、酸化劣化防止剤の添加によるブルームの発生

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a polyethylene composition in which the occurrence of bloom is suppressed by the addition of an oxidative deterioration inhibitor.

<Prior art> In cross-linked polyethylene (hereinafter abbreviated as XLPE),
An oxidative deterioration inhibitor is generally added not only to prevent oxidative deterioration but also to prevent scorch (early vulcanization) during extrusion, for example.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in order to sufficiently obtain the effect of preventing oxidative deterioration, it is necessary to add a certain amount of oxidative deterioration inhibitor; If the dissolved amount is exceeded), and if the pellets are stored for a long period of time, the oxidative deterioration inhibitor may ooze out as a bloom on the pellet surface, or the XLPE composition may not ooze out (as a bloom on the pellet). When an object is processed into a tape shape or the like, the surface area becomes large compared to the volume, so there is a problem in that the oxidative deterioration inhibitor oozes out as a bloom.

When a tape made of such a composition that is prone to blooming is used, for example, as an insulator for the connection part of an electric cable, it not only causes a decrease in electrical properties, but also a decrease in the workability of the tape winding process. The problem also arises.

Therefore, the present inventors have developed a polyethylene composition that does not cause any adverse effects even if a desired amount of an oxidative deterioration inhibitor is added.
After careful study, we found that oxidative deterioration inhibitors, very low density polyethylene (hereinafter abbreviated as VLDPE) and low density polyethylene (hereinafter abbreviated as LDPE) with specific densities.
It has been found that the generation of plumes can be effectively suppressed by using them together.

本発明は、このような観点に立ってなされたものである
The present invention has been made from this viewpoint.

<Means for solving the problems and their effects> The features of the present invention are as follows: The density is 0.88-0. 91g
/cm' of VLDPE 5-50 parts by weight and a density of 0.91
95 to 50 parts by weight of LDPE of ~0.94 g/cm3, 0.1 to 0.4 parts by weight of an oxidative deterioration inhibitor, and 1.0 to 3 parts of dicumyl peroxide (hereinafter abbreviated as DCP).

For specific formulation, after blending the desired amounts of VLDPE and LDPE to a total of 100 parts by weight,
An oxidative deterioration inhibitor is blended to form a blend, and DCP is added to this blend.

This formulation makes it possible to obtain a polyethylene composition that has a sufficient degree of crosslinking and aging properties, and at the same time does not generate plumes. The reason for this is thought to be that VLDPE has many amorphous parts, and the oxidative deterioration inhibitor dissolves into these amorphous parts.

The number of blended parts of VLDPE used in the present invention is 5.
The reason for setting the amount to 50 parts by weight is that plumes occur when the amount is less than sli, and if it exceeds 50 parts by weight, the mechanical properties of the composition, particularly the tensile strength, become weak.

また、本発明で用いるLDPEの配合部数を、95〜5

In addition, the number of blended parts of LDPE used in the present invention is 95 to 5.
The reason for setting it to 0 parts by weight is to make the total number of parts by weight with VLDPE to be 100 parts by weight as described above.

The number of parts blended is 0.1 to 0.4 parts by weight because if it is less than 0.1 parts by weight, it is too small and the aging properties are bad, and if it exceeds 0.4 parts by weight, plumes will occur. Because it will be.

In addition, the number of blended parts of DCP used in the present invention is 1,
The reason why the amount is O to 3.0 parts by weight is that if it is less than 1.0 parts by weight, the desired sufficient degree of crosslinking cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 3.0 parts by weight, scorch will occur.
