Definitions
- This invention relates to wire and cable.
- the invention relates to wire and cable insulation and protective jackets while in another aspect, the invention relates to wire and cable insulation and protective jackets comprising a flame retardant (FR) free of halogen.
- the invention relates to such wire and cable insulation and protective jackets in which the flame retardant comprises a hybrid polyphosphate of ammonium, melamine, piperazine and triazine polymer.
- TPU-based halogen free flame retardant (HFFR) product packages are usually employed for wire insulation/cable jackets for personal electronics. These are used as a replacement for halogen containing products. Advantages of this type of product are superior mechanical properties and flexibility. Additionally, TPU- based FR polymers fulfill the heat deformation testing (UL-1581) requirements at 150°C, which is particularly important for some applications and, generally, can not be achieved by using uncrosslinked polyolefin as the polymer matrix. However, the main disadvantages for TPU-based FR compositions are insulation resistance (TR) failure, poor smoke density, high material density and high cost of TPU. Replacing TPU with polyolefins can potentially solve these.
- TR insulation resistance
- polyolefins or polyolefin elastomer-based HFFR usually suffer from a dramatic drop of heat deformation properties due to a lower melting temperature relative to TPU, especially at a high temperature (e.g., 150°C).
- a high temperature e.g. 150°C
- the use of polyolefin components can decrease the overall FR performance because of their hydrocarbon structure.
- the invention is a composition comprising:
- a polymer blend comprising: 1 . Polypropylene, and
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- M is at least one of melamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, alkyl hydroxyl and a triazine polymer of Formula 2
- D is a heterocyclic or polyamine moiety
- m and n are independently integers the sum (m+n) of which is less than ( ⁇ ) 1000.
- the invention is a composition comprising:
- a polymer blend comprising:
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- the invention is a composition comprising:
- a polymer blend comprising:
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- An intumescent flame retardant composition comprising:
- M is at least one of melamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, alkyl hydroxyl and a triazine polymer of Formula 2
- D is a heterocyclic or polyamine moiety
- m and n are independently integers the sum (m+n) of which is less than ( ⁇ ) 1000
- the polypropylene is typically present in the composition as a continuous phase or as a co-continuous phase with TPE.
- the TPE is typically present in the composition as a dispersed phase or as a co-continuous phase with the polypropylene.
- the intumescent flame retardant component of these compositions can be used neat, i.e., without any other flame retardant or additives, or in combination with another flame retardant and/or additive, or in combination with one another with or without combination with another flame retardant and/or additive.
- compositions of this invention are useful in preparing wire and cable insulation and jackets that afford (i) excellent flame retardant performance, e.g., pass both mimic VW-1 and VW-1 test, (ii) excellent heat deformation performance, e.g., pass UL1 581 - 2001 test at 1 50°C, (iii) tensile stress greater than (>) 8.3 MPa, and (iv) tensile elongation > 200% (ASTM D638).
- inventive compositions have much lower density than TPU-based HFFR.
- the invention is a wire or cable sheath, e.g., insulation or semiconductor sheath, protective outer jacket, etc., made from the inventive composition.
- the invention is a wire or cable comprising a sheath made from the inventive composition.
- the numerical ranges in this disclosure are approximate, and thus may include values outside of the range unless otherwise indicated. Numerical ranges include all values from and including the lower and the upper values, in increments of one unit, provided that there is a separation of at least two units between any lower value and any higher value. As an example, if a compositional, physical or other property, such as, for example, molecular weight, etc., is from 100 to 1,000, then all individual values, such as 100, 101, 102, etc., and sub ranges, such as 100 to 144, 155 to 170, 197 to 200, etc., are expressly enumerated.
- Wire and like terms mean a single strand of conductive metal, e.g., copper or aluminum, or a single strand of optical fiber.
- “Cable” and like terms mean at least one wire or optical fiber within a sheath, e.g., an insulation covering or a protective outer jacket.
- a cable is two or more wires or optical fibers bound together, typically in a common insulation covering and/or protective jacket.
- the individual wires or fibers inside the sheath may be bare, covered or insulated.
- Combination cables may contain both electrical wires and optical fibers.
- the cable, etc. can be designed for low, medium and high voltage applications. Typical cable designs are illustrated in USP 5,246,783, 6,496,629 and 6,714,707.
- composition and like terms mean a mixture or blend of two or more components.
- Blend polymer blend and like terms mean a blend of two or more polymers. Such a blend may or may not be miscible. Such a blend may or may not be phase separated. Such a blend may or may not contain one or more domain configurations, as determined from transmission electron spectroscopy, light scattering, x-ray scattering, and any other method known in the art.
- Polymer and like terms means a macromolecular compound prepared by reacting ⁇ i.e., polymerizing) monomers of the same or different type.
- Polymer includes homopolymers and interpolymers.
- Interpolymer means a polymer prepared by the polymerization of at least two different monomers.

- the typical maximum amount of the HFFR component does not exceed 70, 60, 50, and more typically does not exceed 45, wt% of the composition.
- compositions of this invention can contain one or more additives such as, but not limited to, antioxidants (e.g., hindered phenols such as, for example, IRGANOXTM 1010 a registered trademark of Ciba Specialty Chemicals), phosphites (e.g., IRGAFOSTM 168 a registered trademark of Ciba Specialty Chemicals), UV stabilizers, light stabilizers (such as hindered amines), plasticizers (such as dioctylphthalate or epoxidized soy bean oil), thermal (melt processing) stabilizers, mold release agents, waxes (such as polyethylene waxes), processing aids (such as oils, organic acids such as stearic acid, metal salts of organic acids), and colorants or pigments, to the extent that these additives do not interfere with the desired physical or mechanical properties of the articles made from the compositions of the present invention.
- antioxidants e.g., hindered phenols such as, for example, IRGANOXTM
- the additive package comprises, if present at all, greater than zero, e.g., 0.01, to 2, more typically 0.1 to 1 , wt% of the final composition. Due to the relatively large amount of the flame retardant package in the final composition, other fillers, e.g., talc, a carbonate, etc., and/or other fire retardants, e.g., ATH, are typically not included in the final composition.
- Compounding of the compositions of this invention can be performed by standard means known to those skilled in the art.
- Examples of compounding equipment are internal batch mixers, such as a Banbury or Boiling internal mixer.
- continuous single or twin screw mixers can be used, such as a Farrel continuous mixer, a Werner and Pfleiderer twin screw mixer, or a Buss kneading continuous extruder.
- the type of mixer utilized, and the operating conditions of the mixer, will affect properties of the composition such as viscosity, volume resistivity, and extruded surface smoothness.
- the compounding temperature for the polymer blend, HFFR component and any additives/fillers is typically from the melting point of the polypropylene or TPE, e.g., 120°C, to 220°C, more typically from 160 to 200°C.
- the compounding temperature of the polymer matrix with the flame retardant and optional additive packages is typically from 120 to 220°C, more typically from 160 to 200°C.
- the various components of the final composition can be added to and compounded with one another in any order, or simultaneously, but typically the polymer blend is first compounded followed by the incorporation of the flame retardant component and any additive package.
- the additive package is first compounded with the HFFR.
- the additives are added as a pre-mixed masterbatch.
- masterbatches are commonly formed by dispersing the additives, either separately or together, into an inert plastic resin, e.g., one of the plastic matrix components or a low density polyethylene. Masterbatches are conveniently formed by melt compounding methods.
- the polymer composition of this invention can be applied as a covering to a cable, e.g., like a sheath or insulation layer, in known amounts and by known methods (for example, with the equipment and methods described in USP 5,246,783 and 4,144,202).
- the polymer composition is prepared in a reactor-extruder equipped with a cable-coating die and after the components of the composition are formulated, the composition is extruded over the cable as the cable is drawn through the die.
- the sheath is then typically subjected to a cure period which takes place at temperatures from ambient up to but below the melting point of the composition until the article has reached the desired degree of crosslinking. Cure may begin in the reactor-extruder.
- Other articles of manufacture that can be prepared from the polymer compositions of this invention, particularly under high pressure and/or elevated moisture conditions, include fibers, ribbons, sheets, tapes, pellets, tubes, pipes, weather-stripping, seals, gaskets, foams, footwear and bellows. These articles can be manufactured using known equipment and techniques.
- PP and thermoplastic elastomer are fed into a Haake mixer at 190°C for about 3 minutes to melt the polymer. Then FR additives are added and mixed for another 3 minutes.
- TSE compounding is conducted on Werner & Pfleiderer ZSK 40 Mc Plus co- rotating intermeshing twin screw extruder. Temperature profile:
- Wire coating is conducted on a wire coating line with a temperature profile of 160/170/180/180/180/180/175. Diameter of wire is 2mm and the area of the conductor is 0.75 mm 2 1.4 Injection moulding
- the injection moulding is conducted on FANUC 100 ton high speed with mould temperature of 50°C and temperature profile of 200/210/205/200/190/50°C for mechanical testing.
- Heat deformation testing is conducted according to UL 1581-2001.
- the tested sample is cut from a plaque with a thickness of 1.44mm and is prepared by compression molding at 190°C.
- two parallel sample plaques are placed into an oven and preheated at 150°C for one hour.
- the preheated samples are then pressed with same loading at 150°C for one hour.
- the pressed samples without removal of weights are placed in an ASTM room with setting temperature at 23°C for additional one hour.
- ISO Dl plaque is prepared by injection molding.
- the small dumbbell bar is cut from the plaque by die cutter according to 811-1-4 IEC 1985.
- Tensile tests are conducted on an INSTRON 5565 tensile tester at the speed of 50mm or 500mm.
- Tensile tests are carried out according to ASTM D638 at room temperature.
- Mimic VW-1 FR test is conducted in the UL94 chamber. Test specimens are limited to the dimension of 200*2.7* 1.9mm. The specimen is hung on a clamp, with longitudinal axis vertical by applying 50 g loading on the bottom end. One paper flag (2 * 0.5 cm) is applied on the top of the wire. The distance of flame bottom (highest point of the burner oracle) to the bottom of flag is 18 cm. Flame is applied continuously for 45 seconds. After flame time (AFT), uncharred wire length (UCL) and uncharred flag area percentage (flag uncharred) is recorded during and after combustion. Four or 5 specimens are tested for each sample. Any of the following phenomenons are marked as "not pass”:
- CE-1 to CE-5 conventional APP PER/Melamine, which has very robust flame retardant performance in polypropylene matrix, does not achieve a good flame retardant performance in the PP/SEBS matrix at different ratios even with the presence of ZnO as a synergist.
- IE 5 passes the VW-1 test robustly and meets the other requirements such as mechanical properties, aging performance at 121 °C, and heat deformation at 150°C. Table 5
- the anti-dripping agent, T-SAN, used in CE-8 improves the sag and dripping problem, but it sacrifices flame retardant performance, possibly because the anti-dripping agent limits the intumescence of the charring. The flags finally burned due to less intumescent char.
- the flame retardant packages in IE-6 to IE-12 are used, flame retardant performance becomes sufficiently robust to pass the mimic VW-1 test.
- IE-13 and IE-14 these flame retardant packages also have robust VW-1 performance in the final coated wire.
- the IE-13 and IE-14 pass the other requirements such as heat deformation at 150°C, mechanical properties and aging performance at 121°C. Table 6
