The present invention relates to a composition that improves the peelability of an outer semiconducting layer in a polyethylene insulated power cable, particularly a crosslinked polyethylene insulated power cable. Power cables generally have a conductor covered with an insulator, and the surrounding area is further covered with a metal shield or sheath. An internal or external semiconducting layer is provided between the metal shield and the metal shield. Conventionally, as the material for forming the outer semiconductive layer, a semiconductive resin composition containing a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, or ethylene ethyl acrylate copolymer and conductive carbon black has been used. It's here. Such a semiconducting layer must be able to be completely removed from the insulator over a certain length from the tip of the cable in a short period of time during cable connection and termination work. That is, the external semiconducting layer is required to have appropriate adhesion and releasability to the insulator. However, conventional compositions for outer semiconducting layers have a high degree of adhesion to the insulator, making it difficult to peel off, and not only does it take a long time to remove, but the insulator is easily damaged, which can impair the properties of the power cable. In many cases, we were unable to meet the above request. Conventionally, a semiconductive resin composition disclosed in JP-A-51-79140 has been known as an invention made in response to such demands. but,
In this semiconductive resin composition, aluminum silicate (commonly known as clay) or magnesium silicate (commonly known as talc) is used as an inorganic filler to impart releasability, so physical strength and extrusion processability are improved. In order to improve releasability without causing a decrease in
The upper limit is 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight, and the peel strength obtained is also relatively high at 4 to 6 kg/cm. The present invention has been made by focusing on the problems of conventional semiconductive resin compositions, and is a composition for an outer semiconductive layer that has a peelability of 4.0 Kg/cm or less, which is considered to be a substantially desirable peel strength. The material is provided so that it is in complete contact with the insulator under normal conditions, but can be easily and completely peeled off when necessary. That is, the semiconductive resin composition according to the present invention contains polyethylene or ethylene copolymer resin 100%
Conductive carbon black and particle size by weight
This composition is characterized by containing 40 to 150 parts by weight of an inorganic filler whose main component is activated calcium carbonate of 0.1μ or less, and can be easily manufactured by ordinary extrusion molding. Power cables made of semiconducting layers can be peeled off easily and completely, so there is no risk of damaging the insulator. Examples of the conductive carbon black used in the present invention include furnace black, acetylene black, and Ketting Black EC (trade name). Can be used. The inorganic filler used to improve releasability has a particle size of
It is appropriate to use 40 to 150 parts by weight of activated calcium carbonate with a particle size of 0.1 micron or less based on 100 parts by weight of polyethylene or ethylene copolymer resin. That is, Table 1 shows the results of measuring the peeling force and embrittlement temperature of semiconductive resin compositions 1 to 8 prepared with different inorganic fillers and particle sizes. It went like this: First, 1 mm of the semiconductive material with the composition shown in Table 1 was prepared.
Cross-linked polyethylene was preformed into a 4 mm thick sheet (forming conditions were pressed at 120℃ for 5 minutes), and both sheets were stacked and pressed at 180℃ for 20 minutes to create a bonded sample. did. The peel strength of this bonded sample was measured using an Instron tester, and its embrittlement temperature was also measured.

[Table] In Table 1, the conductive carbon black is Vulcan XC-72 (manufactured by Cabot), and the talc is Hytron (Takehara Chemical).
The clay used is the trade name Satinton #2 (manufactured by Engel Hard Minerals), the calcium carbonate (particle size 1.5μ) was used the trade name White SS (made by Shiraishi Calcium), and the activated calcium carbonate (particle size 0.04μ) was used. ) was used under the trade name Shiroika CC (manufactured by Shiroishi Calcium). As is clear from the results in Table 1, when aluminum silicate (clay), magnesium silicate (talc), or calcium carbonate with a particle size exceeding 0.1μ is used as an inorganic filler, 40 parts by weight of each is added. Even if activated calcium carbonate has a particle size of 0.1μ or less, if the amount added is less than 40 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the ethylene copolymer resin, the obtained half The peel strength of the conductive layer exceeds 4.0 Kg/cm, resulting in insufficient peelability. On the other hand, if the amount of activated calcium carbonate with a particle size of 0.1μ exceeds 150 parts by weight, the physical strength (embrittlement temperature) of the semiconducting layer decreases, making it unsuitable for practical use. processability is reduced. According to the present invention, the semiconductive resin composition mainly contains the above-mentioned ethylene copolymer resin, conductive carbon black, and inorganic filler, but higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, and metal salts are added to improve processability. Of course, general additives such as antioxidants and crosslinking agents may also be used. Next, an example will be described. Example 1 A normal internal semiconducting layer was formed by extrusion molding on a stranded wire conductor with a cross-sectional area of 100 mm 2 , and the blending ratio of a polyethylene insulator with a crosslinking agent mixed thereon and Composition 5 in Table 1 An outer semiconducting layer was formed by coextrusion. Next, it was heated for 20 minutes in a steam crosslinked pipe at a pressure of 20Kg/cm 2 to cause crosslinking, thereby producing a 22KW crosslinked polyethylene cable. Two cuts with a width of 10 mm were made on the outer semiconductive layer formed on the surface of the resulting cable, and a peel test was performed, and the peel force was
The weight was 2.8 kg, and the peelability was good. Comparative Example 1 A crosslinked polyethylene cable was prepared using a semiconducting material having the compounding ratio of Composition 2 in Table 1 as an external semiconductive layer according to the same manufacturing method as in Example 1.
When the outer semiconductive layer of the obtained cable was subjected to a peel test in the same manner as in Example 1, the 10 mm wide outer semiconductive layer was broken and could not be peeled off. The semiconductive resin composition of the present invention has extremely desirable peelability with a peel strength of 4.0 Kg/cm or less, so cable connection and terminal processing work can be easily and quickly performed, and it can be applied to insulators, etc. Since there is no risk of damage, the original characteristics of the cable will not be damaged.
