The present invention relates to a heat-resistant, flame-retardant polyethylene composition that has particularly excellent heat aging resistance and is useful as a cable insulator material. Cross-linked polyethylene has traditionally been used in the insulation layers of electric wires and cables that require heat resistance, and when flame retardancy is required,
Combining flame retardants into base polyethylene has already been carried out. However, such conventional heat-resistant flame-retardant crosslinked polyethylene compositions have the drawback of insufficient cut-through resistance and heat aging resistance. In order to improve the cut-through resistance, it is possible to use high-density or medium-density polyethylene, but these polyethylenes generally have the disadvantage that they have poor processability and are difficult to incorporate additives into. Furthermore, the antioxidants conventionally used for polyethylene do not have very good heat resistance properties, and have the disadvantage of blooming when added in large amounts.
Furthermore, there were also drawbacks such as reduced crosslinking efficiency and staining properties. The present invention has been made to solve these conventional drawbacks, and includes (a) high-density or medium-density polyethylene
70~90%, (b) Ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer 30~
10% of the base polymer with 3 to 7 PHR of bis[2-methyl-4-{3-n-alkyl ( C12 or C14 ) thiopropionyloxy}-5-t-butylphenyl] sulfide [formula It is an object of the present invention to provide a heat-resistant, flame-retardant crosslinked polyethylene composition, which contains a flame retardant and an effective amount of a flame retardant. In the present invention, the ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer is used to supplement the processability of high-density or medium-density polyethylene and to improve the compatibility of additives, and the amount thereof is less than 10%. Then, the effect is insufficient, and on the other hand, if it exceeds 30%,
This reduces the cut-through resistance provided by high-density or medium-density polyethylene. The above-mentioned bis[2-methyl-4
-{3-n-alkyl (C 12 or C 14 ) thiopropionyloxy}-5-t-butylphenyl] sulfide is available from Adeka Argus, Mark AO-23.
It is marketed under the product name. This compound is
It is blended in an amount of 3 to 8 PHR, preferably 4 to 7 PHR, based on the base polymer. If it is less than 3PHR, the effect of improving heat aging resistance will be small;
Even if it exceeds 8 PHR, the effect does not improve any further, and there is a tendency to cause damage, so neither is preferable. Further, as the flame retardant used in the present invention, both halogen-based organic flame retardants and metal oxide-based flame retardants can be used. These flame retardants range from 15 to
It is blended into the base polymer in a range of 35PHR. Furthermore, in the present invention, when crosslinking is carried out by chemical crosslinking, dicumyl peroxide, 2.
Organic peroxides such as 5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexyne-3 are added to
Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPT) must be blended within the range of 5PHR, and when crosslinking is performed by electron beam irradiation crosslinking.
It is desirable to blend 1 to 5 PHR of a multifunctional monomer such as the following. Note that, if necessary, a processing aid such as stearic acid, a stearic acid derivative, or low molecular weight polyethylene may be blended in an amount of 0.2 to 1 PHR. The composition of the present invention, which has the above-mentioned composition, has extremely excellent heat aging resistance, and has a CSA standard Type

% or more, and has characteristics that fully satisfy the
It can be applied to a wide range of applications that require flame retardancy and heat resistance, including insulation coatings for cables. Next, examples will be described. Example
