The present invention relates to a flame-retardant composition that has excellent extrusion processability and excellent mechanical strength and flexibility in a crosslinked state. For details, see chlorinated polyethylene and polyolefin resins with a crystallinity of 10% or less and ethylene content of 60%.
~90% by weight, Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4 100℃) 10~
The present invention relates to a flame retardant composition mainly composed of a blend polymer of No. 70 and an ethylene-propylene copolymer. In recent years, demand for flame-retardant compositions has continued to increase, and performance requirements for flame-retardant compositions have become more severe. For example, when a flame-retardant composition is used as an electrical insulating coating material for wires inside electrical equipment or wires for wiring inside a vehicle, it can withstand external forces as a conductor coating layer due to the trend toward smaller and lighter electrical equipment. Sufficient mechanical strength and excellent flexibility are required to facilitate wiring work. Flame-retardant compositions made of crystalline or non-crystalline chlorinated polyethylene and polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers are known, but these polymer compositions have poor flexibility and cannot be used in electric wires. If used, wiring work will be difficult. Also, known flame retardant compositions made of crystalline or non-crystalline chlorinated polyethylene and ethylene propylene copolymer or ethylene propylene diene terpolymer have excellent flexibility but have poor mechanical strength. It is difficult to say that it has an excellent protective function because it is insufficient. The present invention proposes a flame retardant composition that has excellent flame retardancy, extrudability, mechanical strength, and flexibility in consideration of recent severe demands for flame retardant insulation compositions. , chlorinated polyethylene with crystallinity below 10%, polyolefin and ethylene content 60-90% by weight, Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4 100
℃) 10 to 70% ethylene propylene copolymer, a small amount of peroxide crosslinking agent, the amount of the component in the total amount of components, components, and components is 5% by weight
The gist of the invention is a flame-retardant composition characterized in that the chlorine content is less than 30% by weight and the chlorine content is at least 10% by weight. The reason why the crystallinity of the chlorinated polyethylene used in the present invention is 10% or less is that the crystallinity is
This is because if more than 10% of chlorinated polyethylene is used, the flexibility of the composition will be impaired. The reason for limiting the ethylene content of the ethylene-propylene copolymer used in the present invention to a range of 60 to 90% is that when the ethylene content is less than 60%, the mechanical strength decreases, and when it exceeds 90%. This is because flexibility is impaired. The reason why the Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4 100℃) is limited to 10 to 70 is that if it is less than 10, the mechanical strength will decrease, and if it exceeds 70, the extrudability and flexibility of the extruded product will deteriorate. This is because it becomes worse. In order to improve the extrusion processability and flexibility of the composition of the present invention, the ingredients must have a Mooney viscosity of 10 to 40.
It is preferable to use As the polyolefin component, polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, etc. are used. As the organic peroxide crosslinking agent, di-

-butylperoxycyclohexyl)propane,
2,2-bis(t-butylperoxy)butane,
Known crosslinking agents for the above-mentioned components can be used, such as 1,1-di(t-butylperoxy)cyclohexane. The amount used is 0.5 of the total amount of ingredients, ingredients, and ingredients.
Approximately 10% by weight is appropriate. In the present invention, it is essential that the components are used within an amount range of 5% by weight or more and less than 30% by weight based on the total amount of the components. 5 ingredients
If it is less than 30% by weight, the effect of improving the flexibility of the composition is poor, while if it is more than 30% by weight, it tends to reduce the mechanical strength of the composition. The preferred amount of the ingredients used is 10 to 20% by weight of the above total amount. Furthermore, in the present invention, it is essential that the chlorine content derived from the formulation of the components contained in the composition of the present invention is at least 10% by weight. If the chlorine content is less than 10% by weight, it is difficult to obtain a composition with sufficient flame retardancy. Therefore, the ingredients are used in amounts that can satisfy the above chlorine content. In addition, in the present invention, an extremely excellent flame-retardant composition can be obtained when the chlorine content derived from the components is about 20% by weight, whereas when the chlorine content exceeds 20% by weight, the electrical insulation of the composition deteriorates. Therefore, when the composition of the present invention is used as an electrically insulating material, it is preferable that the upper limit of the chlorine content in the composition is 20% by weight. The appropriate amount of each component to be used is 20 to 70% by weight, particularly 30 to 50% by weight based on the total amount of components. In the present invention, agents commonly used in rubber and plastics, such as inorganic fillers, anti-aging agents, colorants, processing aids, carbon black,
PVC stabilizers, flame retardants such as Sb 2 O 3 , etc. can be used in the usual amounts. Additional inorganic fillers (e.g. talc, clay, calcium carbonate, etc.)
The amount used is 30% by weight of the total amount of ingredients, ingredients, ingredients, so as not to impair the excellent flexibility of the present invention.
The following is preferable. Next, the remarkable effects of the present invention will be explained using Examples and Comparative Examples. Each composition shown in the table was mixed in a conventional rolling operation and then sheeted. A 2 mm thick extrusion coating layer was formed on a 2 mmφ copper wire using a portion of the thus obtained unvulcanized sheet, and then heated and vulcanized at 170°C for 30 minutes in the usual manner to create a coated wire. The electric wire was tested for flame retardancy according to JIS C 3004. A press-vulcanized sheet was prepared using the remaining portion of the unvulcanized sheet at 170° C. for 30 minutes, and the volume resistivity, 100% tensile modulus, and tensile strength of the sheet were measured. The 100% tensile modulus value is a general measure of the flexibility of a material, and the smaller the 100% modulus value, the better the flexibility, but if it is less than 0.20 Kg/mm 2 , the mechanical strength is poor, and it is 0.50 Kg/mm 2 More than 0.25 is too hard.
It is also desirable to have it within the range of ~0.45Kg/ mm2 . In addition, the tensile strength is 1.0Kg/mm 2 from the viewpoint of mechanical strength.
The above is preferable. For evaluation of extrusion processability, the surface texture of the sheet taken out from the mixing roll was observed, and a tube-shaped sample was extruded using an experimental extruder and the surface conditions were observed. It was ranked in two stages: (rough). Next, the effects of the present invention will be explained based on comparative examples and examples. ●Comparative examples (1) and (2) are conventionally known techniques and show poor flexibility. ●Also, Comparative Example (3) has excellent flexibility but is inferior in mechanical strength. ●Example (1) and Comparative Example (4) show the effect of the crystallinity of chlorinated polyethylene, and when the crystallinity exceeds 10%, flexibility is impaired. ●Example (1) and Comparative Example (5) show the effect of the ethylene content of the ethylene propylene copolymer, and when the ethylene content is less than 60%, mechanical strength and extrusion processability decrease. Examples (1)(3)(4)(5) and Comparative Examples (2)(6) show the effect of blending amount of ethylene-propylene copolymer; less than 5 parts results in poor flexibility; When the amount increases, mechanical strength decreases. Examples (1) and (6) demonstrate the effect of the Mooney viscosity of the ethylene-propylene copolymer, and the reason for limiting the Mooney viscosity to 70 or less is supported from the perspective of extrusion processability. It is clear from Examples (1), (7), and (8) that flexibility is lost when the amount of mineral filler exceeds 30 parts. From Example (1) and Comparative Examples (7) and (8), the reason why the amount of chlorine in the mixture is limited to 10 to 20% by weight is clear from the viewpoint of flame retardancy and electrical insulation.
