Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve drastically the flame retardancy of a polyolefin insulator without marring its excellent electric characteristic, by adding as a flame retarder a predetermined quantity of a halogen family flame retarder having a melting point of 300 deg.C or higher. CONSTITUTION:A polyolefin insulator 2 containing a flame retarder is provided over an inside conductor 1, and in addition, an outside conductor 3 and a sheath 4 cover them in order. Polyethylene is most desirous for the base resin of the insulator 2 in view of flexibility and an electric characteristic, but silane cross- linked polyolefin or the like can be used. A halogen family flame retarder whose melting point is over 300 C degrees, for example, perchlorocyclodecane or the like, or mixed agents are 10-40P HR arranged against the base resin. A soft copper stranded wire braid or the like is used for the conductor 3, and the arrangement of the halogen or non-halogen family flame retarder with polyethylene or vinyl chloride resin as the base resin, is used for the sheath 4 for the purpose of flame retardancy.

(Prior art) As a coaxial couple, which has excellent electrical properties and flexibility, has been widely used for internal wiring and connections of high frequency equipment.
There is a polyethylene insulated braided high frequency coaxial cable specified by JIS C3501 and MIL standards. In recent years, these coaxial cables are required to have high flame retardancy to withstand fire and occasional high temperature conditions when used in special equipment such as nuclear couplants.

However, when additives such as flame retardants are added to polyethylene insulators, -i is in contact with its dielectric constant ε and dielectric voltage anδ
As a result, the attenuation and capacitance of the coaxial cable increase, resulting in a characteristic impedance mismatch, resulting in a significant deterioration of electrical characteristics. Therefore, in order to impart flame retardancy to the above-mentioned polyethylene insulated braided high frequency coaxial cable, methods are used such as providing a fireproof tape layer around the outer periphery of the outer conductor or replacing only the outer sheath with flame retardant rubber. However, providing a fire-resistant tape layer reduces the cable's original excellent flexibility, increases the number of manufacturing processes, and makes it more complicated.Also, even if only the outer sheath is flame-retardant, the insulation between the inner and outer conductors may melt. There was a problem in that the flame retardancy as a cable was still insufficient.

Furthermore, in order to create a flame-retardant coaxial cable, the insulator between the inner and outer conductors is replaced with polyethylene using a fluororesin such as par-70 loalkoxy resin (PFA) or tetrafluoroethylene hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP). However, compared to polyethylene insulators, they have the disadvantages of being less flexible and more expensive.

Here, the base resin of the flame retardant-containing polyolefin insulator 2 is most preferably polyethylene in terms of flexibility and the above-mentioned electrical properties, but other materials such as silane-crosslinked polyolefin can also be used. Then, a halogen flame retardant having a melting point of 300°C or higher is blended with these polyolefins. This halogen-based flame retardant is a flame retardant having a melting point of 300° C. or more among flame retardants containing at least one halogen atom in its molecule.

Add 0PHR. If the amount is less than this, the flame retardant effect will be small, and if it is more than this, although the flame retardance will be improved, the capacitance of the cable will increase, which is not preferable. Moreover, even within this range, the melting point is 3.
If a halogen-based N fuel of less than 00'C is used in combination, the attenuation and capacitance will increase, which is not preferable.
