Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing an insulated wire and a power cable in which discoloration of a copper stranded wire surface is prevented for a long period of time by using a benzotriazole anticorrosive solution.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the surface of a copper wire or the surface of a stranded conductor may be discolored during storage of copper wires and stranded copper wires, or during the manufacturing process of insulated wires and during storage of electric wires. , Anti-corrosion solution for copper is applied to stranded copper wire.

On the other hand, vinyl chloride insulated wire (OW) as an outdoor distribution line,
Polyethylene insulated wire (OE) and cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire (OC) are often used, but a black copper oxide film is formed on the copper wire surface several years after cross-linking, and rarely hard copper stranded wire is knife-cut. This may cause a so-called stress corrosion cracking, which is an important problem in terms of power security.

This stress corrosion cracking is caused by rainwater that has entered the inside of the wire from the terminal and accumulates in the voids of the wire and is concentrated into corrosive water, forming a thick black copper oxide film on the surface of the copper wire and cracking the film. Between the corrosion factor that selectively dissolves the underlying copper exposed at the part and the stress factors such as the stress that occurs when bridging against the bending stress that occurs when processing the hard copper stranded wire and the bending stress that occurs when the wire is wound around the drum. It is supposed to occur due to interaction.

Against stress corrosion cracking that occurs in such a long-term corrosive environment, even if a solution of benzotriazole dissolved in a volatile solvent such as alcohol alone is applied to a hard copper strand, a sufficient corrosion resistant film is not formed Therefore, there is a problem that a long-term corrosion resistance effect cannot be expected.

Therefore, as a solution, a method of using an insulating layer containing a rust preventive component for copper, a method of filling a watertight compound in a hard copper twisted wire, a solution of a benzotriazole derivative dissolved in liquid paraffin, polybutene, silicone oil, etc. A method of applying on a copper stranded wire has been proposed.

However, with respect to (1), it is difficult to elute the rust preventive agent from the insulating layer, it is difficult to prevent discoloration of copper for a long period of time, and there is an unfavorable problem that the insulation resistance of the insulating layer decreases. With respect to the above, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high, the work of removing the watertight copper band is troublesome, and if the removal is not sufficient, the current-carrying characteristics of the connection part deteriorate. However, there is a problem in that the use thereof lowers the adhesion between the insulator and the hard copper stranded wire, resulting in insufficient drawing strength.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, by applying a rust-preventive solution to the hard copper stranded wire, to form a strong corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of the copper wire or hard copper stranded wire, hard copper Even if corrosive rainwater enters the stranded wire, it maintains the copper color for a long time,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide an insulated electric wire and a method for manufacturing an electric power cable in which the adhesion between the insulator and the hard copper stranded wire is good.

[Means for solving problems]

The structure of the present invention, benzotriazole or / and benzotriazole derivative 0.1 to 10 wt% on the surface of the hard copper stranded wire, after applying an antirust solution consisting of an epoxy plasticizer 0.2 to 10 wt%, the balance is a solvent, An insulating coating layer is formed on the outer periphery of the hard copper stranded wire.

Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be described in more detail.

In the anticorrosive solution used in the present invention, the addition amount of benzotriazole is set to 0.1 to 10% by weight, because the corrosion resistant film is not formed even more than 10% by weight,
The rust preventive effect reaches saturation, and an excessive amount is projected, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the addition amount is 0.1% by weight or less, a sufficient corrosion resistant film is not formed, and thus the rust preventive effect cannot be obtained. The preferable addition amount of benzotriazole is 1 to 5% by weight. When the amount of the epoxy plasticizer used is 0.2 to 10% by weight, if the amount is 10% by weight or more, stickiness remains on the stranded wire conductor after coating and the pull-out test is not preferable. On the other hand, when the content is 0.1% by weight or less, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient rust preventive effect because the corrosion-resistant film to be formed lacks a protective action. The preferred addition amount of the epoxy plasticizer is 0.5 to 7% by weight.

Epoxy plasticizers used in the present invention include epoxidized soybean oil, epoxidized linseed oil, epoxidized castor oil, epoxidized unsaturated fats and oils such as epoxidized linseed oil, epoxidized linseed oil fatty acid butyl, octylepoxy steer. rate,
Epoxidation of epoxybutyl stearate, epoxidized fatty acid monoester, epoxidized oleic acid octyl ester, epoxidized oleic acid decyl ester, epoxy monoester, alkyl epoxy stearate, n-alkyl epoxy stearate, isoalkyl epoxy stearate, etc. Unsaturated fatty acid esters, di-2-ethylhexyl epoxyhexahydrophthalate, diisodecyl epoxyhexahydrophthalate, epoxycyclohexane derivatives such as cycloalkylepoxystearate, and epichlorohydrin derivatives, etc. One or more of these groups can be used .

The solvent to be used is used for facilitating the dissolution and mixing of the benzotriazole or / and the benzotriazole derivative and the epoxy plasticizer, and adjusting the stickiness of the epoxy plasticizer. As such a solvent, methyl alcohol, Alcohol solvents such as ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol are preferable, but not limited thereto.

In the present invention, in addition to benzotriazole, benzotriazole derivatives such as benzotriazole monoethanolamine salt, benzotriazole diethylamine salt, benzotriazole cyclohexylamine salt, benzotriazolemorpholine salt, benzotriazole diisopropylamine salt, and methylbenzotriazole cyclohexylamine salt. Can also be used.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, examples according to the present invention will be described in comparison with comparative examples and conventional examples.

After twisting 19 pieces of hard copper wires with an outer diameter of 2.0 mmφ into concentric strands, apply the anticorrosive solution of each composition shown in Table 1 to the outer periphery, and further extrude and coat polyethylene insulator on the outer periphery. 60 mm ² outdoor polyethylene insulated wire was manufactured.
Each of the obtained insulated wires was subjected to the following corrosion resistance test (Note 1, Note 2, Note 3) and conductor pull-out test (Note 4). The results are shown in the lower part of Table 1.

(Note 1) Cut a 10 cm long sample from the insulated wire with a gold saw,
The conductor wire from which the insulator had been stripped was immersed in an aqueous sodium sulfide solution having a concentration of 100 ppm for 30 seconds at room temperature, and then taken out, and the discolored state of the surface of the conductor wire was visually observed to judge whether the corrosion resistance was good or bad.

(Note 2) Cut a 10 cm long sample from the insulated wire with a gold saw,
After peeling off the insulator, taking out the hard copper stranded wire and washing off the rust preventive solution adhering to the surface of the conductor wire with a solvent, the concentration is 100 ppm
After being immersed in the sodium sulfide aqueous solution for 30 seconds at room temperature, it was taken out, and the discolored state of the surface of the conductor wire was visually observed to judge the corrosion resistance.

(Note 1) (Note 2) was evaluated as follows: ○ indicates no discoloration, Δ indicates slight discoloration, and × indicates clear discoloration.

(Note 3) Cut a 30 cm long sample from the insulated wire with a gold saw,
Dip it 1/2 in 100ppm aqueous ammonia solution,
A heat cycle of 8 hours at ℃ and 16 hours at room temperature is continued for 1 week and then immersed in a corrosive environment where it is replaced with fresh ammonia solution for 8 weeks. Then, the sample is taken out, the insulator is peeled off, and the oxidation generated on the conductor The average film thickness of copper was determined, and the value was used to judge the corrosion resistance.

Judgment criteria are as follows: ○ indicates a film thickness of less than 0.2 μm, Δ indicates a film thickness in the range of 0.2 to 0.3 μm, × indicates a film thickness of 0.
It was evaluated as exceeding 3 μm.

(Note 4) When a 3m long sample is cut from an insulated wire with a gold saw, the insulator at 1m on one end is peeled off by 10cm, the other end is fixed, and a load of 1ton (pulling load) is applied to the insulator on one end. Then, the condition of pulling out the insulator was observed to judge whether the adhesion between the conductor and the insulator was good or bad.

The criteria for evaluation were evaluated as those in which ○ was difficult to pull out, those in which Δ was slightly pulled out, and those in which X was largely pulled out.

Further, in order to judge the higher adhesion, the 10 cm insulator was peeled off at 30 cm from one end, and the same pulling load as above was applied to observe the sliding of the insulator.

As can be seen from the results, Examples 1 to 7 show good results in all tests, but Comparative Example 1 does not form a sufficient corrosion resistant film with copper because the amount of benzotriazole added is small. In Comparative Example 2, since the amount of Eposizer W-100EL is large, the adhesion between the conductor and the insulator is reduced,
Conductor pull-out test is not preferred. In Comparative Example 3, since the compounding amount of Epocizer W-100EL is small, the role as a protective film on the corrosion resistant film with copper is insufficient. Comparative Examples 4, 5,
When comparing 6 and 7 with Examples 3, 4, and 5, the use of silicone oil, liquid paraffin, polybutene, electric insulating oil, etc. of Comparative Example and the use of the epoxy plasticizer of Example are compared. In the corrosion resistance test (Note 1, Note 2, Note 3),
It can be seen that there is a big difference in the results. The reason for this is presumed to be that a corrosion resistant film with copper is favorably formed in the examples. Particularly, in Comparative Example 4 using silicone oil,
The adhesion between the conductor and the insulator is greatly reduced. Conventional example 1, 2,
In 3, a large amount of silicone oil, liquid paraffin, and polybutene is used to form a protective film on the copper wire, but this reduces the adhesion between the conductor and the insulator, making the conductor pull-out test unfavorable when using it as an insulated wire. It is suspected that problems will occur. Considering the examples and the conventional examples in comparison with each other in the corrosion resistance test (Note 2), since the corrosion resistant film with copper is well formed in the examples, the corrosion resistant film formed even when immersed in the sodium sulfide aqueous solution is It has excellent resistance to severe corrosive environment, but in the conventional example, a non-aqueous rust preventive oil in which a benzotriazole derivative is dispersed and included in silicone oil, liquid paraffin, polybutene, etc. is used. Since it is extremely difficult to form a corrosion-resistant film, removing the rust-preventive oil applied to the surface of the copper wire with a solvent and immersing it in an aqueous sodium sulfide solution lacks resistance to the corrosive environment. It is supposed to turn black.

In addition, in the adhesion test in which the insulator was peeled off at one end of 30 cm, it was found that although the amount is not shown in Table 1 in detail, it begins to decrease when the amount of the plasticizer exceeds 0.3% by weight.

Further, after the above test, the amount of the mixture of benzotriazole and the plasticizer adhering to the surface of the 12 twisted wires in contact with the insulator (the amount actually adsorbed after the solvent was evaporated) was measured and found to be 3.0 × 10 ^-5 g / It was found that withstanding less than cm ² , it could withstand pulling out of 30 cm-1 ton, but beyond this, it could not withstand.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the manufacturing method of the present invention,
When a rust preventive solution consisting of benzotriazole or / and a benzotriazole derivative 0.1 to 10% by weight, an epoxy plasticizer 0.2 to 10% by weight, and the balance being a solvent is applied to the surface of a hard copper stranded wire, copper is present in the presence of the solvent. A rust preventive film is formed favorably on the surface by a chelate bond with a rust preventive component, and if the solvent volatilizes, the epoxy plasticizer contained is formed as a protective film on the rust preventive film, and a double rust preventive film is formed. The effect is enhanced and the corrosion resistance is improved. Moreover, by adding the epoxy plasticizer in an amount of 0.2 to 10% by weight,
The epoxy plasticizer film remaining on the copper wire is adjusted in stickiness and uniformized, and the rust preventive film on the copper wire is complemented at the same time, so it is suitable for severe corrosion resistance and conductor pull-out test. It can prevent stress corrosion breakage. Therefore,
An insulated wire having good adhesion to a twisted copper element wire in contact with an insulator and having an excellent corrosion-resistant film and a protective film on a stranded wire conductor can be obtained in the conventional manufacturing process of an insulated wire or a power cable and It is possible to sufficiently prevent the problem of discoloration of the stranded wire conductor during storage of the wire, and even if corrosive rainwater enters from the end of the wire after it is installed as an insulated wire for outdoor use, stress corrosion cracking may occur. Since it does not exist, its effect is great.

Furthermore, in the insulated wire of the present invention, the adhesion between the insulated wire and the hard copper stranded wire is remarkably improved, and the pull-out strength is insufficient to prevent unexpected entry of rainwater into the hard copper stranded wire. Contributes to the improvement of corrosion resistance.
