Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電線、ケーブル等の配線作業および消磁コイル等に使用される粘着テープに関し、燃焼時にハロゲン含有有毒ガスを発生しないようにしたノンハロゲン粘着テープであって、傷付き白化性を改良したものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、電線、ケーブル等の配線作業および消磁コイル等に使用される粘着テープとしては、軟質ポリ塩化ビニルからなる厚み0.1〜0.3mm、幅15〜30mmのテープ状の基材の一方の表面にブチルゴム系粘着剤などからなる粘着剤層を形成したもの(以下、「PVC製粘着テープ」という。)が広く使用されている。
【0003】
ところで、現在環境問題が重視され、ダイオキシンの発生源とされている塩化ビニル系プラスチックの使用を取りやめる動きがある。このため、電線、ケーブルなどの被覆材についても脱塩化ビニル化が進んでおり、電線、ケーブルの接続等に使用されている粘着テープにも脱塩化ビニル化が要求されつつある。
【0004】
この要求を満たすものとして、粘着テープの基材をなす樹脂組成物にポリオレフィン系ポリマーを使用するとともに、例えば、ノンハロゲン系難燃剤として水酸化マグネシウムなどの金属水酸化物を配合することによって難燃性を付与し、燃焼時にダイオキシンやハロゲン含有ガスを発生しないようにしたものが提案されている。(例えば特許文献1参照)
【0005】
しかしながら、このような基材をなす樹脂組成物にポリオレフィン系ポリマーを使用する粘着テープ(以下、「ポリオレフィン系ポリマー製粘着テープ」という。)にあっては、PVC製粘着テープに比べて難燃性が劣るといった問題があった。そして、ポリオレフィン系ポリマーからなる基材に金属水酸化物の難燃剤を配合したものでは、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足する組成物の確立は非常に困難であった。
【0006】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−11400号公報(第2−4頁)
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この発明は上記従来の問題点に鑑み、ポリオレフィン系ポリマー製粘着テープにおいて、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足させるようにしたものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、この発明による粘着テープは、基材と粘着剤層とからなる粘着テープであって、基材をなす樹脂組成物が、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合したものである。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明による粘着テープは、基材と、この基材の上に形成された粘着剤層とからなる。
この粘着テープの基材を構成する樹脂組成物としては、ポリオレフィン系ポリマーをベースポリマーとするものが用いられ、具体的にはポリエチレン、ポリププロピレン、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体、エチレン−ブテン−1共重合体、アクリルゴム、EPゴムなどの1種または2種以上のブレンドポリマーが用いられるが、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを必須成分として全量の70wt%以上含むとともに、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むものが用いられる。
【0010】
超低密度ポリエチレンとしては、密度が0.89g/cm以下であるものが用いられ、メルトフローレート(温度190℃、荷重2.16kg、時間10分)が0.1〜10のものが好ましく、具体的には日本ユニカー社製、商品名「DFDB1088」、「DFDB1085」などが使用できる。
【0011】
また、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体としては、好ましくはエチルアクリレート含有量がモル比で30〜50%、メルトフローレート0.1〜50のものが用いられる。
【0012】
また、粘着テープに高難燃性を付与する(UL510に規定する難燃試験に合格する)ために、ノンハロゲン系難燃剤としてシラン処理した金属水酸化物を配合するとともに、難燃助剤を配合する。
【0013】
この金属水酸化物には、水酸化マグネシウム、水酸化アルミニウム、水酸化カルシウムなどが用いられ、なかでも難燃性付与効果が高い水酸化マグネシウムが好ましい。なお金属水酸化物を配合するにあたって、金属水酸化物の表面にシランカップリング剤で表面処理したものを使用することによって、傷付き白化性改良に効果的である。
粘着テープに高難燃性を付与する場合、ポリオレフィン系ポリマー100重量部に対して、金属水酸化物を80〜150重量部、好ましくは100〜130重量部配合する。80重量部未満では必要な難燃性が得られず(UL510に規定する難燃試験に合格できず)、150重量部を超えると組成物の機械強度、伸び等が大きく低下する。
【0014】
また樹脂組成物の難燃性を高めるために、ガム状シリコーン、シリコーン樹脂粉末などのシリコーン化合物、赤リン、ポリリン酸メラミン、ポリリン酸アンモニウム、ヒドロキシスズ酸亜鉛、モリブデン化合物、モリブデン水酸化アルミニウムなどから選択される1種または2種以上を混合した難燃助剤を適宜配合する。この難燃助剤の配合量は、ベースポリマー100重量部に対して、1〜15重量部、好ましくは8〜12重量部とされる。1重量部未満では配合効果が得られず、15重量部を超えるとコストが嵩む。
【0015】
上述したように、ポリオレフィン系ポリマーにノンハロゲン系難燃剤として金属水酸化物を配合するとともに難燃助剤を配合してなる樹脂組成物において、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合し、この樹脂組成物からなる基材を使用して粘着テープを作製することによって、UL510に規定された難燃性試験に合格し、かつ引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率50%超)、柔軟性を有し、傷付き白化性も改良された、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足した粘着テープを取得することができる。
【0016】
なお、粘着テープの基材をなす樹脂組成物には、さらに必要に応じて老化防止剤、着色剤、無機充填剤、紫外線吸収剤、銅害防止剤などを適宜配合してもよい。
【0017】
さらに、この樹脂組成物について、重金属含有量0.1重量%以下で、かつ塩素、フッ素、臭素などのハロゲン元素を含有しないことが好ましい。重金属含有量0.1重量%以下とすることで、燃焼灰分中に有害とされるカドミウム、鉛などが規制値以下となり、処分が容易となる。
【0018】
また、上記樹脂組成物からなる基材は、体積抵抗率を1013Ω/cm以上であることが好ましく、これにより得られる粘着テープは充分な電気絶縁性を有し、PVC製粘着テープと同様に電気絶縁処理にも使用し得る。
【0019】
次に、粘着剤層としては、ハロゲンやリン、その他有害な元素が含有されていなければ特に限定されず、ゴム系粘着剤、アクリル系粘着剤などの一般的な粘着剤が使用できる。また粘着剤には必要に応じて粘着付与剤、軟化剤、酸化防止剤、老化防止剤、顔料、充填剤等が添加されてもよい。
【0020】
粘着剤の具体例としては、次の粘着剤を1種もしくは2種以上組み合わせて用いることができる。
(イ)SBR系粘着剤、(ロ)アクリル系粘着剤、(ハ)天然ゴム系粘着剤、(二)イソプレンゴム系粘着剤、(ホ)イソブチレンゴム系粘着剤
【0021】
SBR系粘着剤としては、スチレンーブタジエンゴムを主成分とし、これにロジン、ロジン誘導体、テルペン樹脂、石油樹脂、コーバル、アルキルフェノールなどの粘着付与剤(タッキファイヤー)や、プロセスオイルなどの軟化剤、カーボンブラック、ケイ酸塩、炭酸カルシウム、クレーなどの充填剤、トルエン、ヘキサン、無鉛ガソリンなどの溶剤、老化防止剤などを配合したものなどが用いられる。
【0022】
アクリル系粘着剤としては、種々のアクリル酸エステルを2種以上共重合したガラス転移温度が−20℃以下のアクリル共重合体を主成分とするもので、必要に応じて上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
【0023】
アクリル系粘着剤は、一般にブチルゴム系粘着剤やSBR系粘着剤などに比べて、粘着性が高いため、粘着剤層の層厚が薄くても十分強力な粘着力が得られる。粘着剤層の層厚が薄くてすめば、粘着テープ全体の厚みを一定とすると、基材の厚みを厚くすることができ、粘着テープの基材の機械的強度を高めることが可能となる。
【0024】
天然ゴム系粘着剤としては、天然ゴムを主成分とし、これに上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
イソプレンゴム系粘着剤としては、イソプレンゴムを主成分とし、これに上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
イソブチレンゴム系粘着剤としては、イソブチレンゴムを主成分とし、これに上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
【0025】
また、粘着テープを製造する方法としては、特に限定されないが、前記の樹脂組成物を溶融混練し、押出成形、インフレーション成形、カレンダー成形などによって、厚み0.1〜0.3mmの広幅のフィルムを製造し、粘着テープの基材とする。次いで、この基材の片面に前記の粘着剤をコーティング装置により所定の厚みに塗布した後、スリッターにて幅15〜30mmに裁断して巻き取る方法などがある。
【0026】
この場合、基材の粘着剤を塗布する面に、コロナ処理、プライマー処理等を行うことにより、粘着剤層と基材との接着力を向上させる方法を採ることも可能である。
また粘着剤層の厚みも限定されるものでなく、接着性および難燃性を損なわない程度にすればよく、数μm〜500μmで使用可能であり、一般には10μm〜200μmの範囲が好ましい。
【0027】
以下に、本発明による粘着テープの実施例を挙げ、本発明を詳細に説明する。なお本発明は、以下の実施例のみに限定されるものではない。
【0028】
表1(実施例1〜3と比較例1〜4)に示すような配合組成(重量部表示)の樹脂組成物を用意し、これらをインフレーション成形して厚み0.17mmのフィルム状の基材をそれぞれ取得した。そして、基材の片面に天然ゴム系粘着剤を塗布した後、スリッターで裁断し、幅19mmの粘着テープとした。
【0029】
表1に示す粘着テープの柔軟性特性や難燃性特性についての物性値の試験方法は、いずれも、UL510に定められた規定に基づいて試験を行った。
柔軟性については、柔軟性試験に合格したものを○で示すとともに、柔軟性に特に優れるものを◎で示し、柔軟性試験に合格するが柔軟性にあまり優れないものを△で示した。なお不合格ものは×とした。
難燃性については、難燃性試験に合格したものを○で示し、不合格のものを×で示した。
【0030】
表1に示す粘着テープの表面白化性(傷付き白化性)についての評価は、以下の試験方法によって評価した。
傷付き白化性とは、物体との接触時の耐表面白化性を評価するものであって、テープ基材の作製段階における各材料を混練して得たペーストを熱プレス機で厚さ1mm、縦150mm、横180mmのシートに成形し、ここから幅20mm、長さ100mmの試験片を打ち抜いた。この試験片の表面をニードル磨耗試験機で荷重500gでMIL規格W−22759Dに準拠して、傷付き(引掻き)試験を行った。この試験片の表面を目視観察し、白化が認められないものを合格(○)、白化が認められるものを不合格(×)とした。
【0031】
表1に示す各実施例および各比較例では、次の材料を用いた。

【0033】
表1の結果より、本発明の配合組成の樹脂組成物からなる基材、つまり密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合した樹脂組成物からなる基材を使用することで、UL510に規定する試験方法により粘着テープ特性を判定したところ、引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率が50%を超える)を示し、かつ難燃性試験、柔軟性試験、白化性試験に合格する良好な粘着テープを取得することができた。
すなわち、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足した粘着テープを取得することができた。
【0034】
一方、表1に示す比較例のように、シラン処理水酸化マグネシウムの代わりにステアリン酸処理水酸化マグネシウムを80重量部配合した場合(比較例1)や、ステアリン酸処理水酸化マグネシウムを80重量部配合した場合(比較例2)は、引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率が50%を超える)を示し、かつ難燃性試験、柔軟性試験に合格するものの、傷付き白化性の試験が不合格であった。
また、シラン処理水酸化マグネシウムとステアリン酸処理水酸化マグネシウムを混合して配合した場合(比較例3、比較例4)、引張強度が10.3MPaを満たすことができず、また傷付き白化性の試験も不合格であった。
【0035】
なお実施例1と比較例1は、配合される金属水酸化物の種類を相違させただけものであるが、実施例1と比較例1を比較すると、実施例1の粘着テープのほうが、引張強度、延び、加熱変形残率に優れるものであった。
また実施例3と比較例2についても、配合される金属水酸化物の種類を相違させただけものであるが、実施例3と比較例2を比較すると、実施例3の粘着テープのほうが、引張強度、延び、加熱変形残率に優れるものであった。
つまりステアリン酸処理水酸化マグネシウムを使用することによって、粘着テープの物理的特性に低下が認められた。
【0036】
また、比較例3ではシラン処理水酸化マグネシウムが80重量部〜150重量部の範囲内で配合されているものの、ステアリン酸処理水酸化マグネシウムが混合して配合されており、この比較例3による粘着テープでは、引張強度が10.3MPaを満たすことができず、また傷付き白化性の試験も不合格であった。
【0037】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、この発明によれば、燃焼時にダイオキシンやハロゲン含有ガスなどの有害物質を発生することがないポリオレフィン系ポリマー製粘着テープにおいて、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合した樹脂組成物からなる基材を使用して粘着テープを作製することによって、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足した粘着テープを提供することができた。つまり、この発明による粘着テープによれば、従来のPVC製粘着テープと同等以上の難燃性能を有し、かつテープ特性に優れるとともに、燃焼時にダイオキシンやハロゲン含有ガスなどの有害物質を発生することがなく、発煙量も少量となる。[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an adhesive tape used for wiring work of wires, cables, etc. and for degaussing coils, etc., which is a non-halogen adhesive tape which prevents generation of halogen-containing toxic gas during combustion, and which has improved scratched whitening property. It is.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as an adhesive tape used for wiring work of wires, cables, etc. and for degaussing coils, etc., one of a tape-shaped base material having a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm and a width of 15 to 30 mm made of soft polyvinyl chloride is used. What has formed the adhesive layer which consists of a butyl rubber-type adhesive on the surface (it is hereafter called "PVC adhesive tape") is widely used.
[0003]
By the way, environmental issues are now considered important, and there is a movement to stop using vinyl chloride plastic which is a source of dioxin. For this reason, vinyl chloride is also being applied to coating materials such as electric wires and cables, and vinyl chloride is also being required for adhesive tapes used for connection of electric wires and cables.
[0004]
As a material satisfying this requirement, a polyolefin-based polymer is used in the resin composition forming the base material of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and for example, a flame-retardant compound is prepared by blending a metal hydroxide such as magnesium hydroxide as a non-halogen-based flame retardant.

However, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape using a polyolefin-based polymer in the resin composition constituting such a base material (hereinafter referred to as “polyolefin-based polymer pressure-sensitive adhesive tape”) is more flame-retardant than the PVC-based pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. Was inferior. A composition in which a flame retardant of a metal hydroxide is blended with a base material made of a polyolefin-based polymer, which satisfies all of the properties of flame retardancy, mechanical strength, heat resistance, flexibility, and scratch whitening property. Was very difficult to establish.

[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is intended to satisfy any of the properties of flame retardancy, mechanical strength, heat resistance, flexibility, and scratch whitening in a polyolefin polymer adhesive tape. .
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the present invention is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape comprising a base material and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, wherein the resin composition forming the base material comprises 70% by weight or more of ultra-low-density polyethylene having a density of 0.89 g / cm 3 or less. And 80 to 150 parts by weight of a silane-treated metal hydroxide in 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin-based base polymer containing 1 to 30% by weight of an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer having an ethyl acrylate content of 30 mol% or more, and a flame retardant aid It contains 1 to 15 parts by weight.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the present invention comprises a substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on the substrate.
As the resin composition constituting the base material of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, a resin composition containing a polyolefin-based polymer as a base polymer is used. Specifically, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer One or more blended polymers such as a polymer, ethylene-butene-1 copolymer, acrylic rubber, and EP rubber are used. Ultra low density polyethylene having a density of 0.89 g / cm 3 or less is used as an essential component. What contains not less than 70 wt% of the total amount and 1 to 30 wt% of an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer having an ethyl acrylate content of not less than 30 mol% is used.
[0010]
As the ultra-low density polyethylene, those having a density of 0.89 g / cm 3 or less are used, and those having a melt flow rate (temperature of 190 ° C., load of 2.16 kg, time of 10 minutes) of 0.1 to 10 are preferable. Specifically, trade names “DFDB1088”, “DFDB1085”, etc. manufactured by Nippon Unicar Co., Ltd. can be used.
[0011]
Further, as the ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer having an ethyl acrylate content of 30 mol% or more, preferably, an ethylene acrylate content having a molar ratio of 30 to 50% and a melt flow rate of 0.1 to 50 is used.
[0012]
In addition, in order to impart high flame retardancy to the adhesive tape (pass the flame retardancy test specified in UL510), a silane-treated metal hydroxide is blended as a non-halogen flame retardant, and a flame retardant auxiliary is blended. I do.
[0013]
As the metal hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide or the like is used, and among them, magnesium hydroxide having a high flame-retardant effect is preferable. When the metal hydroxide is blended, the surface of the metal hydroxide treated with a silane coupling agent is used, which is effective in improving the whitening property with damage.
When imparting high flame retardancy to the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, 80 to 150 parts by weight, preferably 100 to 130 parts by weight of a metal hydroxide is added to 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin-based polymer. If the amount is less than 80 parts by weight, the necessary flame retardancy cannot be obtained (the flame retardancy test specified in UL 510 cannot be passed), and if it exceeds 150 parts by weight, the mechanical strength, elongation, etc. of the composition are greatly reduced.
[0014]
In order to enhance the flame retardancy of the resin composition, gum-like silicone, silicone compounds such as silicone resin powder, red phosphorus, melamine polyphosphate, ammonium polyphosphate, zinc hydroxystannate, molybdenum compound, molybdenum aluminum hydroxide, etc. One or more selected flame retardant aids are appropriately blended. The compounding amount of the flame retardant aid is 1 to 15 parts by weight, preferably 8 to 12 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base polymer. If the amount is less than 1 part by weight, no compounding effect can be obtained, and if it exceeds 15 parts by weight, the cost increases.
[0015]
As described above, in a resin composition containing a metal hydroxide as a non-halogen flame retardant in a polyolefin polymer and a flame retardant aid, an ultra-low density polyethylene having a density of 0.89 g / cm 3 or less is used. 80 to 150 parts by weight of a silane-treated metal hydroxide is added to 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin-based base polymer containing 70% by weight or more and an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer having an ethyl acrylate content of 30% by mole or more in an amount of 1 to 30% by weight. By blending 1 to 15 parts by weight of a combustion aid and preparing a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape using a substrate made of this resin composition, the composition passed the flame retardancy test specified in UL510 and had a tensile strength of 10. 3MPa or more, elongation of 60% or more, heat deformation rate of 50% or less (heat deformation residual rate of more than 50%), flexibility, and improved whitening with damage Thus, it is possible to obtain an adhesive tape which satisfies all of the characteristics of flame retardancy, mechanical strength, heat resistance, flexibility, and whitening with scratches.
[0016]
The resin composition forming the base material of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape may optionally further contain an antioxidant, a coloring agent, an inorganic filler, an ultraviolet absorber, a copper damage inhibitor and the like, if necessary.
[0017]
Further, it is preferable that the resin composition has a heavy metal content of 0.1% by weight or less and does not contain a halogen element such as chlorine, fluorine and bromine. By setting the heavy metal content to 0.1% by weight or less, cadmium, lead, and the like, which are detrimental to the combustion ash, are reduced to the regulated values or less, and disposal becomes easy.
[0018]
Further, the substrate made of the resin composition preferably has a volume resistivity of 10 13 Ω / cm 3 or more, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape obtained thereby has a sufficient electric insulating property. It can also be used for electrical insulation.
[0019]
Next, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not particularly limited as long as it does not contain halogen, phosphorus, and other harmful elements, and a general pressure-sensitive adhesive such as a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive or an acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive can be used. If necessary, a tackifier, a softener, an antioxidant, an antioxidant, a pigment, a filler, and the like may be added to the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
[0020]
As specific examples of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, the following pressure-sensitive adhesives can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
(A) SBR-based adhesive, (b) acrylic-based adhesive, (c) natural rubber-based adhesive, (ii) isoprene rubber-based adhesive, (e) isobutylene rubber-based adhesive
As the SBR-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, styrene-butadiene rubber is used as a main component, and a tackifier (tackfire) such as rosin, rosin derivative, terpene resin, petroleum resin, corval, alkylphenol, and a softener such as process oil, Fillers such as carbon black, silicates, calcium carbonate, clay, and the like, solvents such as toluene, hexane, and unleaded gasoline, and antioxidants are used.
[0022]

[0033]
From the results in Table 1, it is found that the base material composed of the resin composition having the compounding composition of the present invention, that is, ultralow density polyethylene having a density of 0.89 g / cm 3 or less is 70 wt% or more and ethylene having an ethyl acrylate content of 30 mol% or more. From a resin composition in which 80 to 150 parts by weight of a silane-treated metal hydroxide and 1 to 15 parts by weight of a flame retardant aid are mixed with 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin base polymer containing 1 to 30% by weight of an ethyl acrylate copolymer. When the adhesive tape characteristics were determined by the test method specified in UL510 by using the base material, the tensile strength was 10.3 MPa or more, the elongation was 60% or more, and the heat deformation rate was 50% or less (the heat deformation residual rate was 50% ), And a good pressure-sensitive adhesive tape which passed the flame retardancy test, the flexibility test, and the whitening test was obtained.
That is, it was possible to obtain an adhesive tape satisfying any of the properties of flame retardancy, mechanical strength, heat resistance, flexibility, and whitening resistance.
[0034]
On the other hand, as in Comparative Examples shown in Table 1, 80 parts by weight of stearic acid-treated magnesium hydroxide was added instead of silane-treated magnesium hydroxide (Comparative Example 1), or 80 parts by weight of stearic acid-treated magnesium hydroxide was used. When blended (Comparative Example 2), it exhibits a tensile strength of 10.3 MPa or more, an elongation of 60% or more, a heat deformation ratio of 50% or less (heat deformation residual ratio exceeds 50%), a flame retardancy test, and flexibility. Although it passed the test, it failed the scratch whitening test.
Further, when the silane-treated magnesium hydroxide and the stearic acid-treated magnesium hydroxide were mixed and blended (Comparative Examples 3 and 4), the tensile strength could not satisfy 10.3 MPa, and the whitening property due to scratching was not obtained. The test also failed.
[0035]
Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 differ only in the type of metal hydroxide to be blended. However, when comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of Example 1 has a higher tensile strength. It was excellent in strength, elongation, and residual heat deformation ratio.
Also, in Example 3 and Comparative Example 2, only the types of metal hydroxides to be blended were different. However, when Example 3 and Comparative Example 2 were compared, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of Example 3 was It was excellent in tensile strength, elongation, and residual heat deformation ratio.
That is, the use of the magnesium hydroxide treated with stearic acid showed a decrease in the physical properties of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.
[0036]
In Comparative Example 3, although the silane-treated magnesium hydroxide was blended in the range of 80 to 150 parts by weight, the stearic acid-treated magnesium hydroxide was blended and blended. With the tape, the tensile strength could not satisfy 10.3 MPa, and the test for scratching and whitening failed.
