The present invention relates to polyvinyl chloride compositions, in particular:
The present invention relates to a polyvinyl chloride composition that forms a strong foamed carbonized layer upon combustion. As is well known, polyethylene is widely used as an insulator for insulated wires because it has excellent electrical properties, water resistance, cold resistance, and is easy to process. However, since polyethylene is easily flammable, it lacks fire safety. Therefore, in order to improve this flammability, various attempts have been made to impart flame retardancy to polyethylene as an insulator. It is well known that flame retardancy can be imparted to polyethylene by mixing a chlorinated resin such as chlorinated polyethylene, or by mixing antimony trioxide or chlorinated paraffin. , often impairing the excellent electrical properties inherent to polyethylene. Therefore, as a method of imparting flame retardancy to an insulated wire, a method of strengthening the flame retardance of the sheath material is desirable. In general insulated wires, plasticized polyvinyl chloride is mainly used in consideration of the practically required properties, workability, flexibility, etc. of the sheath material. Although polyvinyl chloride itself is self-extinguishing, it becomes more combustible when 20 to 40% by weight of plasticizer is mixed in to make it flexible. A known method for improving the flame retardancy of plasticized polyvinyl chloride is to mix chlorinated paraffin and phosphorous organic compounds with antimony trioxide, and it is well known that good flame retardancy can be obtained by this method. It is. However, in the case of insulated wires that use polyethylene as the insulator,
Even if such substances are mixed, the sheath material cannot provide sufficient flame retardancy. The flame retardancy test method described in IEEE-383 is used to evaluate the flame retardancy of insulated wires. The gist of this method is to expose an insulated wire held vertically to the flame of a gas burner for 20 minutes.
This is to observe the distance of fire spread and afterflame. When an insulated wire coated with the conventional plasticized polyvinyl chloride described above is tested using this test method, the sheath material either burns and disappears due to contact with the flame, or cracks form and the internal polyethylene insulator ignites. The fire spreads. The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a polyvinyl chloride composition that has flame retardancy and forms a strong foamed carbonized layer when exposed to flame. In the present invention, at least 30 parts by weight of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of 15% or more is mixed with 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl chloride,
At least one type of zinc compound, and
It is characterized by adding at least one of the oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates of antimony, molybdenum, silicon, aluminum, magnesium, and calcium. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has the property of softening and melting when exposed to flame, and
The gas generated during combustion acts as a blowing agent and produces foam. Polyvinyl chloride has the property of being easily carbonized when burned, but when it is combined with a zinc compound, zinc chloride is generated, which promotes the action of dehydrochlorination and further improves carbonization, creating a strong foamed carbonized layer. can get. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer preferably has a vinyl acetate content of 15% or more from the viewpoint of compatibility with polyvinyl chloride and foamability during combustion. The reason why the amount added is set to 30 parts by weight or more is because if it is less than this, there is no effect on foaming properties. Further, as the zinc compound, zinc carbonate, zinc borate, and zinc pyromellitate are particularly preferred, and these act as excellent carbonization catalysts. It should be noted that although the effect is recognized even when one type of zinc compound is added, the same effect can be obtained even when two or more types are used in combination. Furthermore, at least one kind of oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate of each of antimony, molybdenum, silicon, aluminum, magnesium, and calcium was mixed into the above mixture. In this way, the foamed carbonized layer can be made stronger. In addition, other compounding agents such as stabilizers, fillers, antioxidants, and colorants may be mixed. Alternatively, a free radical generator and a polyfunctional monomer may be added to the composition prepared as described above and crosslinked by heat, or a polyfunctional monomer may be added and crosslinked by irradiation with energy rich radiation. is effective in improving heat deformation resistance and chemical resistance. Next, Table 1 shows examples of the present invention along with comparative examples, and Table 2 shows the effects thereof.
