<Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing watertight insulated wires that can prevent wire breakage due to stress corrosion cracking due to water intrusion into the stranded conductors of overhead power distribution lines. <Prior art> Insulated wires having a cross-linked polyethylene insulator are used as overhead power distribution lines, but when moisture containing corrosive components comes into contact with the conductor under tensile stress, etc., the conductor experiences so-called stress. Corrosion occurs rapidly, causing wire breakage, etc. For this reason, a method has been adopted to prevent the corrosion by filling a so-called watertight compound between the stranded wire conductors. The watertight compound is preferably one that has good adhesion to both the crosslinked polyethylene used as the insulator and the stranded conductor.
It is also required that the spaces between the twisted wire conductors can be easily filled. For this reason, the melt index (MI)
is relatively large, for example, ethylene with MI of 30 to 250.
A watertight compound made of vinyl acetate copolymer (hereinafter referred to as EVA) is often used. Moreover, EVA with such a large MI is crosslinked due to problems such as fluidity at high temperatures.
Furthermore, an appropriate amount of anti-aging agent is also added to prevent thermal deterioration during use of the wire. Furthermore, in order to address the structural problems of such watertight insulated wires, it is preferable that the space between the insulator and the stranded wire conductor is also completely filled with a watertight compound. The method for producing watertight insulated wires as described above involves simultaneously filling the stranded wire conductor with a watertight compound and extruding it with polyethylene insulation in the same extruder head, and then placing it in a pressurized and heated medium. A method of crosslinking is used. In other words, in the manufacturing method of this watertight insulated wire, of course the above-mentioned method with added crosslinking agent and anti-aging agent is required.
It is necessary to extrude the EVA-based watertight compound and the uncrosslinked polyethylene insulation at the same temperature. <Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, when an EVA-based watertight compound containing a crosslinking agent and an anti-aging agent and an uncrosslinked polyethylene insulator are extruded at the same temperature as described above, the extrusion temperature is Generally, the crosslinking start temperature of EVA-based watertight compounds is lower than that of uncrosslinked polyethylene. As described above
Since a crosslinking agent is added to the EVA-based watertight compound, if extrusion is performed for a long time, the EVA will crosslink within the head of the extruder due to a local temperature rise, so-called scorch (early crosslinking). There have been cases where resin burning occurs, and the resin burnt material accumulates, making production impossible. <Means for solving the problems and their effects> In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a watertight compound filled between the stranded wire conductors that contains a crosslinking agent and an anti-aging agent. Using an EVA-based watertight compound, filling is performed in a separate process from the extrusion coating process of uncrosslinked polyethylene, and the uncrosslinked polyethylene is coated by co-extrusion with an EVA-based watertight compound to which no crosslinking agent is added. The reason is that it is extruded and coated. That is, in the above manufacturing method, first, a crosslinking agent and an anti-aging agent are mixed into the stranded conductor of a watertight insulated electric wire.
The EVA-based watertight compound is filled at a relatively low temperature, for example, about 90 to 110°C. Next, an EVA-based watertight compound containing an anti-aging agent and no cross-linking agent is coated with uncross-linked polyethylene by two-layer coextrusion. By doing this, the extrusion temperature can be increased to 120
Even at temperatures up to 130°C, the EVA-based watertight compound does not contain a cross-linking agent, so it is difficult to scorch and does not cause resin burning problems, and can be filled between the stranded conductor and the cross-linked polyethylene coating layer. be done. Furthermore, when it is introduced into a heated and pressurized medium (steam, nitrogen gas, etc.), the EVA-based watertight compound containing a crosslinking agent and anti-aging agent and the uncrosslinked polyethylene filled between the stranded wire conductors are crosslinked. Ru. During this crosslinking, EVA containing no crosslinking agent is used.
The crosslinking agent from the EVA watertight compound and the crosslinking agent from the polyethylene coating layer side, including the crosslinking agent filled between the stranded wire conductors, migrates to the watertight compound side, resulting in crosslinking as well. This EVA-based watertight compound that does not contain a crosslinking agent is co-extruded with uncrosslinked polyethylene by interposing a resin layer of the same type as the EVA-based watertight compound that has already been filled between the stranded wire conductors. This is to improve the adhesion between the watertight compound on the stranded wire conductor side and the polyethylene coating layer. As a result, no scorch occurs on the watertight compound side between the stranded wire conductors, and good adhesion between the watertight compound and the polyethylene coating layer is achieved. Insulated wire can be obtained. Note that even if the layer of the EVA-based watertight compound that does not contain a crosslinking agent is thick, it is sufficient to have a thickness of about 0.5 mm. Further, as the above-mentioned crosslinking agent, dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and 1,3-bis(tert-butyl-
Peroxy-isopropyl)benzene and the like are used in combination with suitable crosslinking aids such as triallylisocyanurate and N,N'-m-phenylene dimaleimide. Furthermore, as the anti-aging agent, for example, 4,
4'-thiobis (6-tert-butyl-3-methylphenol) is used, and if necessary, carbon black or a rust inhibitor can be added to the watertight compound. <Example> 15 parts by weight of DCP and 4,4'-thiobis(6-
An EVA-based watertight compound containing 0.3 parts by weight of tertiary-butyl-3-methylphenol was extruded and filled at 100° C. into a stranded wire having a conductor cross-sectional area of 60 mm 2 . Next, the aforementioned EVA (VA% = 28%, MI =
150: manufactured by Mitsui Dupont Chemical Co., Ltd.) and the aforementioned anti-aging agent [4,4'-thiobis (6-tert-butyl-3
-Methylphenol)] 0.3 parts by weight was added.
Uncrosslinked polyethylene containing an EVA-based watertight compound, 1.7 parts by weight of DCP, a prescribed anti-aging agent, and carbon black was applied to the conductor, each 0.3 mm thick.
It was coated by coextrusion at 125° C. to a thickness of 2.5 mm. This was crosslinked in steam at 200°C to obtain a crosslinked polyethylene insulated wire containing a watertight compound. For comparison, the EVA-based watertight compound containing a crosslinking agent and uncrosslinked polyethylene were heated at 125°C.
After filling and extrusion coating in the same head, crosslinking treatment was performed in the same manner as above to produce a watertight crosslinked polyethylene insulated wire. Regarding this watertight electric wire, watertightness and peelability,
Furthermore, the state of resin burnt was investigated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[Table] <Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, watertight compounds with and without a crosslinking agent are used. It became possible to fill at a temperature lower than the temperature of the coating. As a result, problems such as resin burning of the watertight compound do not occur even when continuous work is performed for a long time. In addition, a watertight compound that does not contain a crosslinking agent and is filled between the stranded wire conductor and the insulator is crosslinked by the migration of the crosslinking agent in the insulator and the crosslinking agent from the crosslinking agent-containing watertight compound filled in the conductor. Therefore, it has good adhesion to stranded conductors and insulators, and has appropriate peelability, so it is also preferable for wire bonding and lead-out work such as terminal treatment.
