(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a radiation-resistant environment-resistant vinyl chloride graft copolymer composition. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In this specification, radiation resistance refers to
It is a comprehensive concept of radiation resistance, heat resistance, and high temperature steam resistance. In the primary containment vessel of a nuclear power plant, radiation is constantly present and the temperature is around 60 to 70 degrees Celsius, and even higher temperature steam is generated in the event of an accident. Flexible covered conduits, cables, electric wires, etc. (hereinafter referred to as electric wires, etc.) installed in such locations must be able to withstand such special and harsh environments. However, vinyl chloride resin compositions that are widely used as coating materials for electric wires, etc., have the disadvantage that they harden or become brittle, causing cracks when exposed to the above-mentioned harsh environments. . (Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of extensive research by the present inventors to improve the drawbacks of such vinyl chloride resin compositions, we found that 100 parts (parts by weight, the same shall apply hereinafter) of vinyl chloride graft copolymer
10 to 100 lead compounds with a lead content of 70% by weight or more
A vinyl chloride graft copolymer composition containing 5 to 50 parts of aromatic carboxylic acid ester or fatty acid polyhydric alcohol ester has excellent resistance to radiation environments and is suitable for use in nuclear power plants.
Next, they discovered that this material is extremely excellent as a coating material for electric wires and the like installed inside the containment vessel, and completed the present invention. Ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl chloride terpolymer (E/VA/VC) is preferably used as the vinyl chloride graft copolymer in the present invention, and among them, ethylene/acetic acid in E/VA/VC is preferably used. Vinyl (E/VA) content is 35 to 60% by weight, and vinyl acetate (VA) content in E/VA is 30 to 45% by weight.
It is preferable to use % by weight. The lead compound in the present invention has a lead content of 70% by weight or more, such as lead oxide (PbO,
Pb 2 O 3 , Pb 3 O 4 , etc.), lead carbonate (PbCO 3 ), tribasic lead sulfate (3PbO・PbSO 4・H 2 O), dibasic lead phosphite (2PbO・PbHPO 3・1/2H 2 O), dibasic lead phthalate (C 6 H 4 (COOPbO) 2 Pb), basic lead silicate (PbO・2PbSiO 3・H 2 O), or a mixture thereof. These lead compounds have a radiation shielding effect and provide water vapor resistance. As mentioned above, the blending amount is 10 to 100 parts, preferably 20 to 100 parts, per 100 parts of the vinyl chloride graft copolymer.
The amount is 90 parts, preferably 30 to 70 parts. If it is less than 10 parts, the effect of radiation resistance will not be sufficient, and if it exceeds 100 parts, the processability during molding will be poor and the molded product will not be easily processed by the machine. problems with physical properties (e.g. tensile strength, tensile elongation). The specific ester compound used in the present invention is an aromatic carboxylic acid ester or fatty acid polyhydric alcohol ester, which has excellent heat resistance and also has the effect of plasticizing the vinyl chloride graft copolymer. . However, when using other vinyl chloride graft copolymer plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate and cresyl diphenyl phosphate, in place of such ester compounds,
The radiation resistance, which is the objective of the present invention, cannot be achieved. Here, as the aromatic carboxylic acid ester, for example, the general formula: (In the formula, R is an alkyl group having 8 to 10 carbon atoms.) Preferred are trimellitic acid esters represented by the formula: trioctyl trimellitate, triisononyl trimellitate, triisodecyl trimellitate. etc. Furthermore, as the fatty acid polyhydric alcohol ester, esters of dipentaerythritol and fatty acids having 10 or less carbon atoms are preferred, such as dipentaerythritol hexacaproate, dipentaerythritol hexasubtyrate, and dipentaerythritol hexaadipate. Specific examples of fatty acids having 10 or fewer carbon atoms include propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, caproic acid, enanthic acid,
Saturated monocarboxylic acids such as caprylic acid, pelargonic acid, and capric acid; unsaturated monocarboxylic acids such as acrylic acid and crotonic acid; saturated dicarboxylic acids such as oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, and adipic acid; maleic acid, etc. Examples include unsaturated dicarboxylic acids. The blending amount of these specific ester compounds is 5 to 50 parts, preferably 10 to 40 parts, particularly preferably 20 parts to 100 parts of the vinyl chloride graft copolymer.
~30 copies. When the amount is less than 5 parts, the plasticity of the composition is insufficient, resulting in poor moldability during kneading and extrusion, and the effect of radiation resistance is insufficient.
When the amount exceeds 100%, the composition becomes too plasticized and has poor moldability during kneading and extrusion, and the tensile strength and heat deformability of the molded product are significantly reduced, resulting in poor mechanical strength. The excellent radiation resistance of the composition of the present invention is due to
It can only be obtained by blending specific amounts of the lead compound and ester compound into the vinyl chloride graft copolymer, and even if either one is lacking, the desired radiation resistance cannot be obtained. (Effects of the present invention) The vinyl chloride graft copolymer composition of the present invention has excellent resistance to radiation environments, that is, radiation resistance, heat resistance, and high temperature steam resistance. It can be used not only in the primary containment vessel, but also in any nuclear power-related facility where radiation is present at high temperature and humidity, such as in the secondary containment vessel and in the containment vessel of a nuclear ship. In addition, the vinyl chloride graft copolymer composition of the present invention is suitable as a material for coverings such as cables and electric wires for nuclear power-related facilities, and for flexible coated conduits, but also for packing, sealing materials, frames, hoses, etc. It is also useful as a material. (Examples) Next, the vinyl chloride graft copolymer composition of the present invention will be explained based on Examples and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not limited only to these Examples. Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9 The lead compounds and ester compounds shown in Tables 1 and 2 were added to 100 parts of vinyl chloride graft copolymer (ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl chloride terpolymer). The amounts shown in each table were blended to obtain a vinyl chloride graft copolymer composition. The resulting composition was kneaded with a roll, then heated and pressed to form a 1 mm thick sheet, which was used as a sample for the next exposure test. The exposure test was conducted by keeping the sample at a temperature of 121°C for 7 days (heating) in accordance with the recommendations for environmental test methods and fire spread resistance test methods for electric wires and cables for nuclear power plants in IEEJ Technical Report (Department) No. 139. After that, by irradiating with gamma rays at 1 Mrad/hr for 76 Mrad (radiation irradiation), then exposing to a high-temperature steam atmosphere at 171°C for 9 hours, and then exposing to a high-temperature steam atmosphere at 121°C for 312 hours (high-temperature steam exposure). I did it. The flexibility of the samples was examined after heating, irradiation, and high-temperature steam exposure. Results first
Table 2 shows the results. From the results of each example in Table 1, the composition of the present invention has good tensile strength and tensile elongation values even after a high-temperature steam exposure test assuming an accident at a nuclear power plant. It can be seen that the molding processability is also good. A composition with such excellent radiation resistance and good moldability can only be obtained by blending a specific amount of a specific lead compound and an ester compound with the above-mentioned vinyl chloride graft copolymer. This is not the case with the comparative compositions shown in Table 2.
