Description

Câble électrique à isolant cellulaire, et procédé de préparation de celui-ci Electrical cable with cellular insulator, and process for its preparation
La présente invention concerne un câble électrique pour basse ou moyenne tension, à isolant cellulaire formant en même temps gaine d' étanchéité .The present invention relates to an electrical cable for low or medium voltage, with cellular insulation forming at the same time a sheath.
On connaît déjà des câbles électriques à isolant cellulaire en polyethylene. Celui-ci est cependant un matériau de densité relativement élevée et assez coûteux. On a déjà utilisé des câbles à isolant plein en poly-chlorure de vinyle compact , matériau moins dense et moins coûteux que le polyethylene . Mais on n' avait pas réussi jusqu' ici à obtenir des isolants en poly-chlorure de vinyle cellulaire, car celui-ci doit être additionné de plastifiants et de charges pour permettre son usage en câblerie , et les essais effectués jusqu' ici de revêtement de conducteurs par du poly-chlorure de vinyle cellulaire ne donnaient que des câbles d' épaisseur très irrégulière , non satisfaisants pour un usage industriel .Polyethylene cellular insulating electrical cables are already known. This, however, is a relatively high density material and quite expensive. Solid insulation cables made of compact polyvinyl chloride, a less dense and less expensive material than polyethylene, have already been used. But until now we had not succeeded in obtaining cellular polyvinyl chloride insulators, because it must be added with plasticizers and fillers to allow its use in cables, and the tests carried out so far on coating of conductors by cellular polyvinyl chloride gave only cables of very irregular thickness, unsatisfactory for industrial use.
La présente invention a pour but de procurer un câble électrique à isolant cellulaire, formant en même temps, gaine d' étanchéité , en poly-chlorure de vinyle, qui présente une épaisseur uniforme, une expansion de l' isolant qui ne soit pas excessive , une structure fine et un aspect superficiel assez lisse , permettant son application en fabrication industrielle.The present invention aims to provide an electrical cable with cellular insulation, forming at the same time, sealing sheath, of polyvinyl chloride, which has a uniform thickness, an expansion of the insulation which is not excessive, a fine structure and a fairly smooth surface appearance, allowing its application in industrial manufacturing.
Le câble électrique selon l' invention est caractérisé en ce que son isolant est constitué par du poly-chlorure de vinyle expansé jusqu' à un pourcentage de pores fermés de 20 à 40% environ, par addition de grains très fins d' un agent d' expansion chimique de point de décomposition compris entre 180° et 200°C environ.The electric cable according to the invention is characterized in that its insulator consists of expanded polyvinyl chloride up to a percentage of closed pores of about 20 to 40%, by the addition of very fine grains of an agent chemical expansion of decomposition point between 180 ° and 200 ° C approximately.
Il répond en outre de préférence à au moins l' une des caractéristiques suivantes : - L ' agent d' expansion chimique est l ' azodicarbonamide .It also preferably meets at least one of the following characteristics: - The chemical blowing agent is azodicarbonamide.
- L ' agent d' expansion chimique est en grains de dimension moyenne environ 10 microns .- The chemical blowing agent is in grains of average size about 10 microns.
- L ' agent d' expansion chimique est en proportion pondérale de 0, 05 à 0, 5 % en poids . - Le poly-chlorure de vinyle est également addi tionné d' un agent de nucléation. - L'agent de nucléation est du talc en grains fins.- The chemical blowing agent is in proportion by weight from 0.05 to 0.5% by weight. - Polyvinyl chloride is also added with a nucleating agent. - The nucleating agent is talc in fine grains.
- Le talc en grains fins est en proportion d'environ 0,5 % en poids.- Talc in fine grains is in proportion of about 0.5% by weight.
L'invention porte aussi sur un procédé de fabrication d'un câble électrique tel que défini ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que l'on fait passer dans une extrudeuse dont la température de la tête est maintenue entre 160° et 180°C, d'une part par le poinçon un conducteur électrique, d'autre part par la matrice périphérique du polychlorure de vinyle additionné de grains très fins d'un agent d'expansion chimique de point de décomposition d'environ 180° à 200°C.The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an electric cable as defined above, characterized in that it is passed through an extruder whose head temperature is maintained between 160 ° and 180 ° C, on the one hand by the punch an electrical conductor, on the other hand by the peripheral matrix of polyvinyl chloride added with very fine grains of a chemical expanding agent with a decomposition point of about 180 ° to 200 ° C.
Il est décrit ci-après à titre d'exemple la fabrication de câbles électriques à basse tension à isolant en poly-chlorure de vinyle selon l'invention et leurs propriétés en fonction des matériaux utilisés et des conditions opératoires. On a utilisé un fil de cuivre de 0,9 mm de diamètre que l'on a gainé de poly-chlorure de vinyle plastifié vendu sous la désignation commerciale "Benvic KI 80/100", additionné d'un agent gonflant formé d' azodicarbonamide, et dans certains cas de talc jouant le rôle d'agent de nucléation. L'agent gonflant était ajouté au poly-chlorure de vinyle par enrobage au pétrin (avec addition d'environ 0,5% en poids d'agent mouillant). On a utilisé soit le produit vendu sous la désignation commerciale "Celogen AZ" par la Société Chevassus, soit celui vendu sous la désignation commerciale "AZB" par la Société Française d'Organo- Synthèse. La tête d'application du poly-chlorure de vinyle était à vis de refoulement de la matière plastique d'un type classique, utilisée notamment pour le polyethylene, avec un filtre formé par un tamis 30/60/120/60, un poinçon de diamètre 0,92 mm et une filière de diamètre 2,2 mm. La vitesse de la vis de refoulement était de 68 tours/minute, et la vitesse de tirage de 50 m/ min. Pour certains des essais, le fil de cuivre était préchauffé.The manufacture of low-voltage electric cables with polyvinyl chloride insulation according to the invention and their properties according to the materials used and the operating conditions are described below by way of example. A 0.9 mm diameter copper wire was used which was sheathed with plasticized polyvinyl chloride sold under the commercial designation "Benvic KI 80/100", added with a blowing agent formed from azodicarbonamide. , and in some cases talc playing the role of nucleating agent. The blowing agent was added to the polyvinyl chloride by kneading (with the addition of about 0.5% by weight of wetting agent). We used either the product sold under the commercial designation "Celogen AZ" by the Chevassus Company, or that sold under the commercial designation "AZB" by the French Organo-Synthesis Company. The polyvinylchloride application head was for the delivery screw of the plastic material of a conventional type, used in particular for polyethylene, with a filter formed by a 30/60/120/60 screen, a punch of 0.92 mm diameter and a 2.2 mm diameter die. The speed of the discharge screw was 68 revolutions / minute, and the pulling speed of 50 m / min. For some of the tests, the copper wire was preheated.

Bien que le câble électrique et le procédé de préparation qui ont été décrits en référence aux exemples paraissent les formes de réalisation préférables de l' invention, on comprendra que diverses modifications peuvent leur être apportées sans sortir du cadre de l' invention. En particulier , certains additifs non nuisibles à l ' expansion contrôlée du polychlorure de vinyle peuvent être ajoutés , et les conditions d' extrusion peuvent être modifiées dans une certaine mesure sous la même réserve .Although the electric cable and the preparation method which have been described with reference to the examples appear to be the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be understood that various modifications can be made to them without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, certain additives which are not detrimental to the controlled expansion of polyvinyl chloride may be added, and the conditions of extrusion may be modified to a certain extent subject to the same reservation.
L ' invention s' applique en particulier à l' isolation de câbles et conducteurs électriques pour basse tension. The invention applies in particular to the insulation of cables and electrical conductors for low voltage.
