DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electrical insulator with improved water resistance.

架橋ポリエチレンは、耐熱軟化性、耐溶剤性に優れてい

Cross-linked polyethylene is widely used as a cable insulator because it has excellent heat softening resistance and solvent resistance, and also has relatively high dielectric strength.

However, when a small amount of moisture enters this cross-linked polyethylene insulator due to cross-linking with water vapor or use in a flooded environment, bow-tie-shaped deterioration occurs in the insulator, which extends in the direction of the electric field around small boards and foreign objects. It had the disadvantage of producing traces (porter, trie), or water trines. This water tree is caused by the interaction between water that has entered the cable and a localized high electric field caused by boards, foreign objects, etc. If there are many water trees, the tan
An increase in δ and a decrease in ρ occur, and there is a concern that this may cause dielectric breakdown of the cable.

The present inventors investigated the tendency of water trines to occur in various crosslinked polyolefin compositions in order to elucidate the mechanism of such water trines formation. It was found that there is a certain relationship between the number of occurrences.

(heating rate of 5°C/min), the generation of water trees increases rapidly, and conversely, the entropy of melting increases to O, 052c.
al/. Even if the oxidation temperature is below , the occurrence of water triplication increases rapidly as the oxidation temperature becomes lower. Generally, the melting entropy has a correlation with the rigidity of the molecular chains in the amorphous region of the polymer, and tends to be reduced by increasing the degree of crosslinking by incorporating a large amount of peroxide for a crosslinking agent.

However, in this case, since a large amount of the anti-aging agent is also consumed by the crosslinking peroxide, the oxidation temperature tends to decrease.

Therefore, in order to reduce the entropy of melting and increase the oxidation temperature, it is necessary to use a large amount of both a crosslinking peroxide and an anti-aging agent, but in general, anti-aging agents have poor compatibility with polyethylene. However, even if the oxidation temperature was temporarily increased, bleeding would occur one after another and the characteristics would deteriorate.

The inventors of the present invention conducted further research in order to resolve these difficulties, and found that using an anti-aging agent that is liquid at room temperature or using an insulating liquid medium that dissolves the anti-aging agent together with the anti-aging agent. It has been found that by adjusting and adding an anti-aging agent so that it becomes liquid or paste at room temperature, the solubility of the olefin polymer can be improved and the oxidation temperature can be significantly improved.

About 10%, especially about 3 to 8% is desirable. In the present invention, in order to adjust the anti-aging agent so that it becomes liquid or paste-like at room temperature, an anti-aging agent that is liquid at room temperature can be used as it is, but an anti-aging agent that is solid at room temperature such as a crystalline powder can be used. In the case of an inhibitor, it is used in liquid or paste form by dissolving it in approximately the same amount of an insulating liquid medium.

Note that it is not necessary to mix the above liquid medium with an anti-aging agent in advance; instead, a method in which only the anti-aging agent is blended into the olefinic polymer and then the liquid medium is absorbed into the olefinic polymer can be used. Very good. Generally, the solubility of a solid anti-aging agent in a polyolefin polymer such as polyethylene is 0.1% or less at room temperature, but it can be improved to about 4% by forming it into a liquid or paste form.

In the present invention, the blending amount of the anti-aging agent that is solid at room temperature is 0.
The reason why it is set at 5 to 4.0 parts is because if it is less than 0.5 parts, the oxidation temperature cannot be raised sufficiently, and on the other hand, if it is more than 4.0 parts, the effect reaches saturation and it tends to leach out from the surface. This is because there are some inconvenient aspects to handling, such as becoming undesirable. The appropriate amount of the insulating liquid medium to be used is about 0.1 to 5 parts, preferably about 0.2 to 3 parts, based on 100 parts of the olefin polymer.

Further, the oxidation temperature in the present invention is given as the intersection of the linear portion of the differential thermal curve before oxidation by DSC and the linear portion of the differential thermal curve after rising due to the start of oxidation. In order to apply the insulator of the present invention to the insulator of a cross-linked polyethylene cable, for example, predetermined amounts of an anti-aging agent and a cross-linking peroxide, which are solid at room temperature, are added to the The solution is dissolved in oil, thoroughly mixed with polyethylene pellets in a blender to adhere to the surface of the pellets, and then heated to penetrate the solution into the pellets.

Thereafter, this is extruded and coated onto a conductor by a conventional method and cross-linked by heating to obtain a cross-linked polyethylene cable with good water resistance and stability. Note that the effect of increasing the oxidation temperature differs depending on the type of anti-aging agent used, so before use, check the relationship between the amount of each anti-aging agent used and the increase in oxidation temperature before using the cross-linking peroxide. It is desirable to find it experimentally, including the relationship with quantity.
