Description

DESCRIPTION
SHEATHED ELECTRICAL CABLE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sheathed electrical cable for motor vehicle having an insulation sheath formed with a fire-retardant resin composition. Related Art
It is requested that a fire-retardant resin composition of an insulation sheath of a sheathed electrical cable does not generate a halogen gas, which is harmful to a human body and a. cause of corrosion. A conventional fire-retardant resin composition contains a fire-retardant additive such as magnesium hydroxide (for example, see JP 2009-40947 A, JP 2008-169273 A) .
The conventional fire-retardant resin composition contains a large amount of the fire-retardant additive such as magnesium hydroxide to attain the fire-retardancy The large amount of the fire-retardant additive largely reduces a variety of mechanical properties such as wear resistance. Demand for the fire-retardancy of the electrical cable insulation increases year by year. The conventional insulation sheath of the electrical cable contains 60-90 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide. However, this amount does not satisfy the fire-retardancy of the electrical cable. The increase of the amount of the fire- retardant additive further reduces the mechanical properties.

Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention
Embodiments of a sheathed electrical cable for motor vehicle of the present invention are explained in detail below.
Sheathed Electrical. Cable for Motor Vehicle:
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of an embodiment of a fire-. retardant electrical cable 1 of the present invention. The fire-retardant electrical cable 1 has a plurality of conductors 2, and an insulation sheath 3, which is made of a fire-retardant resin composition, covering' the conductors 2. It is apparent that the electrical cable 1 may include a single conductor 2.
Fire-Retardant Resin Composition:
The fire-retardant resin composition of the present invention contains 100 parts by weight of a base resin and 70-200 parts by weight of a metal hydrate fire-retardant additive. The base resin contains (A) 70-90 parts by weight of a polypropylene resin and (B) 30-10 parts by weight of an olefin or a styrene thermoplastic elastomer. The metal hydrate fire-retardant additive is . a halogen-free metal hydrate surface-treated with a fatty acid containing an unsaturated bond or a silane treatment agent. All resins utilized here are non-cross linking type.
The polypropylene resin is, for example, propylene homopolymer, block copolymer of crystalline polyolefin and amorphous rubber, and copolymer of ethylene/propylene/butene . The crystalline polyolefin is, for example, homopolymer or nonelastomer copolymer of ethylene, propylene, butene-1, hexene-1, and 4- methylpentene-1. It , is preferable, that the polypropylene resin contains a number of kinds. Among them, it is necessary to contain a polypropylene resin modified with maleic acid, that is, modified polypropylene resin. The modified polypropylene resin can be manufactured with melt process or solution process. The modified amount is 0.5-6.0 wt%, more preferably, 2-3 wt%. The amount of the maleic acid modified resin is 5-30 parts by mass, preferably, 15- 20 parts by mass. When the amount of the maleic acid modified resin is less than the lower limit, wear resistance is reduced. When the amount of the maleic acid modified resin is more than the upper limit, elongation property is reduced. Also, it is suitable that polypropylene resin other than the maleic acid modified resin has elastic coefficient of 1,000-2,000 MPa.
The olefin thermoplastic elastomer is, for example, a mixture of non-crystalline polyolefin and amorphous olefin copolymer rubber, propylene/ethylene random copolymer propylene-a-olefin random copolymer, and propylene/ethylene-a-olefin random copolymer. The amorphous rubber is, ' for example, ethylene/propylene copolymer rubber (EPM) , ethylene/l-butene copolymer rubber (EB ) , ethylene/propylene/butene copolymer rubber, and ethylene/propylene/non-conjugated diene copolymer rubber (EPDM) .
Styrene thermoplastic elastomer is block copolymer or random copolymer containing aromatic series vinyl polymer block (hard segment) and conjugated diene polymer block (soft segment) . The aromatic series vinyl compound is a- alkyl substitute styrene (e.g., styrene, a-methylstyrene, a-ethylstyrene, a-methyl-p-methylstyrene) , and nuclear alkyl substitute styrene (e.g., o-methylstyrene, m- methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, 2 , 4-dimethylstyrene, ethylstyrene, 2 , 4 , 6-trimethylstyrene, o-t-butylstyrene, p- t-butylstyrene, p-cyclohexylstyrene) . The conjugated diene compound is, for example, butadiene, isoprene, and methylpentadiene . The other rubber component is, for example, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) , nitrile rubber, and butyl rubber (IIR) .
The metal hydrate fire-retardant additive is magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide surface-treated with the fatty acid containing the unsaturated bond such as oleic acid, linolenic acid and the like, or surface-treated with the silane treatment agent.
The resin composition of the present invention has a high fire-retardancy, and also high mechanical properties such as wear resistance and elongation property. The fire- retardant resin composition is thus utilized for the insulation sheath of the electrical cable 1 of the motor vehicle because of a high reliability.
The embodiment of the sheathed electrical cable 1 of the present invention has the insulation sheath 3 with a thickness of 0.2-0.9 mm, which gives the improved wear resistance for use in the motor vehicle. The electrical cable 1 having the insulation sheath 3 with the thickness of 0.2-0.9 mm corresponds to the product names of CHFUS- 0.13~1.5sq, HFSS-0.35~2f, and HF-3~8sq. The insulation sheath 3 with the thickness more than 0.9 mm increases its own volume and reduces the fire-retardancy. The increase of the thickness reduces heat absorption of the conductors 2 when the insulation sheath 3 burns. The thick insulation sheath 3 retards the heat transfer to the central conductors 2. The standard electrical cable 1 for motor vehicle usually has the insulation sheath 3 with the thickness of more than 0.2 mm. The insulation sheath 3 with the thickness less than 0.2 mm exposes the conductors 2 when the insulation sheath 3 wears out, and is thus not adapted for the electrical cable of the motor vehicle.

Evaluation:
The evaluation of the fire-retardancy had the following steps of extrusion-forming the fire-retardant resin composition around the conductor, cutting the sheathed electrical cable for motor vehicle by a length of 600 mm, holding the sheathed electrical cable in a no-wind tank with an angle of 45 degrees, exposing a portion distant about 200 mm ± 5 mm from an upper end of the sample cable to a reducing flame of a Bunsen burner for 15 seconds, gently removing the flame, and measuring a time when the flame of the electrical cable disappears. The target value is at most 70 seconds. When the measured time is within 70 seconds, the electrical cable is evaluated as "acceptable, denoted by a circle", and the measured time is more than 70 seconds, the electrical cable is evaluated as "not acceptable, denoted by X".
The evaluation of the elongation property was achieved in accordance with JIS B 7721. The evaluation had the following steps of cutting the sheathe electrical cable by 150 mm, removing the conductors from the sheathed electrical cable to form a cylindrical shaped test piece of the insulation layer, indicating marks spaced 50 mm each other, attaching each end to an associated chuck of a tension tester at a room temperature, pulling the insulation sheath by 25-500 mm/min, and measuring a distance between the marks. The insulation sheath is evaluated as "acceptable, denoted by the circle" when the extension is at least 500 percents and "not acceptable, denoted by X" when the extension is less than 500 percents.
The evaluation of wear resistance was achieved with the scrape wear resistance tester. The evaluation had the following steps of mounting the sheathed electrical cable of about 1 m on a sample holder, holding the electrical cable with a clamp, preparing a plunge having a piano wire of 0.45 mm, abutting the plunge to the end of the sheathed electrical cable, press-reciprocating the plunge with a total load of 7 N to the sheathed electrical cable by a distance of 14 mm, measuring a reciprocating cycle until the piano wire of the plunge reaches the conductors of the electrical cable due to the wear of the insulation layer. The insulation sheath is evaluated "acceptable, denoted by the circle" when the cycle is at least 300 and "not acceptable, denoted by X" when the cycle is less than 300.
