(Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a flame-retardant resin-coated electric wire, more specifically, a flame-retardant resin-coated electric wire having a core wire coated and insulated with polyethylene, and further coated with a vinyl chloride resin composition. It is related. (Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention) High-voltage circuit cords, coaxial cords, etc. used as electrical components use polyethylene as an insulator around the core wire, and the outside is made of a soft vinyl chloride resin composition. These wires are usually coated with a high flame retardant coating. For example, when exporting televisions and other electrical appliances that use such electric wires, each country has regulations regarding flame retardancy for the purpose of fire prevention, and if parts that do not comply with such regulations are used, It is virtually impossible to export products to that country. United States UL standard (Underwriters
Laboratries Inc.'s Electrical Appliance and Appliance Control Regulations have strict standards for evaluating the flame retardancy of coated wires.
Considerations have been made to pass the vertical frame test specified in Item 758 of the UL standard. In order to impart flame retardancy to vinyl chloride resin, it is known to blend flame retardants such as antimony trioxide, zinc borate, barium borate, zinc oxide, aluminum hydroxide, zirconium oxide, and organic halogen compounds. However, even with such a vinyl chloride resin composition made flame retardant with a flame retardant, a polyethylene-coated electric wire further coated is effective in suppressing the combustion of the vinyl chloride resin, but it cannot be used in a gas burner flame for 2 to 4 times. When exposed to water, the vinyl chloride resin carbonizes, cracks appear in places, and polyethylene oozes out, igniting the inner polyethylene layer and causing combustion. In other words, the result is that it does not pass the above standards. (Means for solving the problems) The present invention does not cause such inconveniences, that is,
When performing the vertical flame test specified in Item 758 of the UL standard, the outer layer of vinyl chloride resin carbonizes, cracks occur in places, and the inner polyethylene layer ignites, making it a flame-retardant resin that does not cause combustion. The purpose is to provide covered electric wires. According to the present invention, the above object is achieved by providing an electric wire in which the core wire is coated with polyethylene and the circumference thereof is further coated with a vinyl chloride resin composition. This is achieved by blending a flame retardant and fine particulate synthetic silica produced by combustion of silicon tetrachloride. The vinyl chloride resin that is the main component of the vinyl chloride resin composition used in the present invention is obtained by polymerizing vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and a comonomer copolymerizable therewith using various polymerization methods. The average degree of polymerization is usually in the range of 600 to 4,000, preferably in the range of 1,000 to 4,000. Comonomers that can be copolymerized with vinyl chloride include vinyl esters, acrylic esters, methacrylic esters, maleic esters, fumaric esters, vinyl ethers, vinyl cyanides, α-olefins, and vinyl chloride. These comonomers are used in an amount of 30% by weight or less, preferably 20% by weight or less in the constituent components of the vinyl chloride resin. A plasticizer is blended into the vinyl chloride resin composition of the present invention, and examples of the plasticizer include phthalic acid plasticizers such as di-n-octyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, and trimellitic acid. 2-ethylhexyl, trimellitic acid
Trimellitic acid plasticizers such as n-octyl, fatty acid ester plasticizers such as di-2-ethylhexyl adipate, di-n-decyl adipate, di-2-ethylhexyl azelaate, and di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate. agent, tri-2-phosphate
Examples include phosphate ester plasticizers such as ethylhexyl and tricresyl phosphate, and epoxy plasticizers such as epoxidized soybean oil, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more. A thermoplastic elastomer having good compatibility with the resin, such as nitrile butadiene, thermoplastic polyurethane, chlorinated polyethylene, etc., is added to the vinyl chloride resin composition in an amount within a range that does not cause the properties of the vinyl chloride resin to be lost. May be mixed. In addition, the vinyl chloride resin compositions also contain additives that are usually added, such as stabilizers, lubricants, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, colorants such as tribasic lead sulfate, dibasic lead phosphite, dibasic lead phthalate,
Lead stearate, barium stearate, calcium stearate, etc. are added as appropriate. Further, a flame retardant is added to the vinyl chloride resin composition of the present invention to make it flame retardant. As this flame retardant, those conventionally known as flame retardants for vinyl chloride resins can be used. Examples include antimony trioxide, zinc oxide, barium borate, zinc borate, aluminum hydroxide, zirconium oxide, organic halides, and the like. The flame retardant is usually used in an amount of 2 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride resin. Synthetic silica, which is an important component blended into the vinyl chloride resin composition in the present invention, is produced by combustion of silicon tetrachloride, particularly obtained by hydrolysis of silicon tetrachloride in an oxyhydrogen flame. Amorphous silica in the form of fine particles with primary particles of 5 mμ or more, preferably 20 mμ or more is used. As such synthetic silica, one sold under the registered trademark of Aerosil by Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd. is preferred. In the present invention, such synthetic silica is used in an amount of 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride resin.
It is blended in an amount of 1 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 2 to 20 parts by weight. The electric wire of the present invention can be manufactured in accordance with a conventionally known electric wire manufacturing method in which a core wire is coated with polyethylene and further coated with vinyl chloride resin. Next, examples and comparative examples of the present invention will be explained.
The present invention is not limited to these examples. Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-5 Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-5 shown in Table 1 below
Vinyl chloride resin compositions No. 5 were prepared, and the physical properties of each resin composition were measured. In the table, tensile strength, elongation, and 100% modulus were measured according to JIS-K-6723. The flame retardancy test was conducted in accordance with the VW-1 test in item 758 of the UL standard for polyethylene insulation sheathing materials, and the results are shown in Table 1. Flame retardancy is obtained by coating a copper wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm with polyethylene to a diameter of 3.0 mm, and then coating it with the vinyl chloride resin composition shown in Table 1 below to a diameter of 5.0 mm. was prepared and tested in this regard. The synthetic silica of the present invention in the resin composition shown in Table 1 below is Aerosil OX50 sold by Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd. In the table, the organic halogen compound is a mixture of a halogenated alkyl phosphate and tris-dibromopropylisocyanuric acid.

[Table] (Effects of the Invention) The covered wire of the present invention passes the test of item 758 of the UL standard. That is, the vinyl chloride resin in the outer layer will not carbonize and crack, and the inner polyethylene layer will not ignite and continue to burn due to contact with flame, which occurs with conventional flame-retardant electric wires.
In addition to having such excellent flame retardancy, the electric wire of the present invention does not exhibit any deterioration in insulation properties.
