Description

本発明は、架橋ポリエチレンを超臨界アルコールで低分子化した再生ポリエチレンを再度成形する架橋ポリエチレンを用いた成形物及び電線・ケーブルに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a molded article and an electric wire / cable using a crosslinked polyethylene obtained by re-molding a recycled polyethylene obtained by reducing the molecular weight of a crosslinked polyethylene with a supercritical alcohol.

シラングラフト・水架橋法は、有機過酸化物を用いて架橋を行う化学架橋方式よりも低コストの架橋ポリオレフィン材料として広く用いられている。   The silane graft / water cross-linking method is widely used as a cross-linked polyolefin material at a lower cost than a chemical cross-linking method in which cross-linking is performed using an organic peroxide.

これは、高温の成形加工機(例えば押出機)中で、少量の有機過酸化物をグラフト反応開始剤として用い、ポリマにビニルアルコキシシランをグラフト共重合した後、高温高湿度雰囲気(または温水中)に電線ケーブルをさらし、ポリマにグラフトしたアルコキシシランの加水分解及び縮合を起こして架橋するものである。   This is because a small amount of organic peroxide is used as a graft reaction initiator in a high-temperature molding machine (for example, an extruder), and after graft copolymerization of vinyl alkoxysilane to the polymer, a high-temperature and high-humidity atmosphere (or warm water) ) Is exposed to an electric cable, and the alkoxysilane grafted on the polymer is hydrolyzed and condensed to cause crosslinking.

このシラン架橋ポリエチレン(XLPE)は、巨大な三次元網目構造をとるため、融点以上に加熱しても形状を保持する耐熱性があり、優れた電気特性を有する材料であるが、反面リサイクルの面からすると、通常の熱可塑性樹脂のように加熱溶融成形ができない問題がある。   Since this silane-crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) has a huge three-dimensional network structure, it has heat resistance that retains its shape even when heated above its melting point, and has excellent electrical properties. Therefore, there is a problem that it cannot be heat-melt molded like a normal thermoplastic resin.

そこで、架橋ポリマーを超臨界、亜臨界のアルコールを用いて架橋ポリマーのシロキサン結合を切断して低分子化し、これを再生材ペレットとし、この再生PEを用いて絶縁材に再利用することが試みられている。   Therefore, we tried to reduce the molecular weight of the crosslinked polymer by cutting the siloxane bond of the crosslinked polymer using supercritical and subcritical alcohol, making it a recycled material pellet and reusing it as an insulating material using this recycled PE. It has been.

しかしながら、超臨界メタノール中の反応は、シロキサン結合の分解の他に、酸化防止剤のエステル結合の分解やベンゼン環へのメトキシ基付加、ヒドロキシ基のメトキシ化(−OCH3 )も起こるため、架橋ポリマーを低分子化すると同時に添加した酸化防止剤や銅害防止剤等の添加剤も構造が変わる可能性が大きい。このため、得られたXLPE再生材を用いて新たに元の用途である成形物や電線・ケーブルを作製しても使用に耐えうる電線・ケーブルとすることはできず、クローズドサイクルを実現できない問題がある。 However, in the reaction in supercritical methanol, in addition to the decomposition of the siloxane bond, the decomposition of the ester bond of the antioxidant, the addition of a methoxy group to the benzene ring, and the methoxylation of the hydroxy group (-OCH 3 ) also occur. There is a high possibility that the structure of additives such as antioxidants and copper damage inhibitors added at the same time as reducing the molecular weight of the polymer will change. For this reason, it is not possible to make a wire / cable that can withstand use even if a new molded product or wire / cable, which is the original application, is made using the obtained XLPE recycled material, and a closed cycle cannot be realized. There is.

本発明の目的は、クローズドサイクルを実現できる架橋ポリエチレンを用いた成形物及び電線・ケーブルを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a molded article and an electric wire / cable using a crosslinked polyethylene capable of realizing a closed cycle.

本発明は、再生ポリエチレンを用い、これに酸化防止剤または/及び銅害防止剤と、架橋触媒とを加えることで、電線・ケーブル用の材料など元の用途に適した良好な特性を持つ材料を得ることができ、架橋ポリエチレン(XLPE)のクローズドサイクルを実現できる。   The present invention uses recycled polyethylene, and by adding an antioxidant or / and copper damage inhibitor and a crosslinking catalyst to this, a material having good characteristics suitable for the original use such as a material for electric wires and cables. And a closed cycle of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) can be realized.

以下本発明の実施形態を説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

本発明は、架橋ポリエチレンを超臨界アルコール等によって処理して得られた再生ポリエチレンに、酸化防止剤または/及び銅害防止剤を加え、これに架橋触媒を加えて成形物とするものである。   In the present invention, an antioxidant or / and a copper damage inhibitor are added to a recycled polyethylene obtained by treating a crosslinked polyethylene with a supercritical alcohol or the like, and a crosslinking catalyst is added thereto to form a molded product.

再生ポリエチレンは、特許文献1に記載されるようにリサイクルする架橋ポリエチレンをペレット状に加工し、これをメチルアルコールやエチルアルコールと共に超臨界,亜臨界状態にして、シロキサン結合を分解して低分子化して得られるもので、二軸押出機に架橋ポリエチレンのペレットを投入し、二軸押出機の途中からアルコールを注入し、これをアルコールの臨界温度と臨界圧力以上(例えばメチルアルコールの臨界温度239.6℃と臨界圧力8.09MPa、エチルアルコールの臨界温度240.9℃と臨界圧力6.14MPa、n−プロパノールの臨界温度263.7℃と臨界圧力5.1MPa)、或いはその近傍の亜臨界温度、亜臨界圧力として架橋ポリエチレンを低分子化して再生ポリエチレンとする。   Recycled polyethylene is processed into pellets of cross-linked polyethylene to be recycled as described in Patent Document 1, and this is converted into a supercritical and subcritical state together with methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol to decompose siloxane bonds and reduce the molecular weight. The pellets of cross-linked polyethylene are put into a twin screw extruder, and alcohol is injected from the middle of the twin screw extruder, which is above the critical temperature and critical pressure of alcohol (for example, the critical temperature of methyl alcohol 239. 6 ° C and a critical pressure of 8.09 MPa, a critical temperature of ethyl alcohol of 240.9 ° C and a critical pressure of 6.14 MPa, a critical temperature of n-propanol of 263.7 ° C and a critical pressure of 5.1 MPa), or a subcritical temperature in the vicinity thereof As a subcritical pressure, the crosslinked polyethylene is reduced in molecular weight to obtain a regenerated polyethylene.

この超臨界、亜臨界処理を行うと、ベンゼン環へのメトキシ基付加、ヒドロキシ基のメトキシ化(−OCH3 )も起こるため、架橋ポリエチレンに加えられていた酸化防止剤と銅害防止剤と架橋触媒の構造が変わってしまい、再生ポリエチレンで押出成形しても諸特性を満たし、かつ外観の良い再生ケーブルを作製することが難しい。 When this supercritical or subcritical treatment is performed, methoxy group addition to the benzene ring and hydroxy group methoxylation (-OCH 3 ) also occur. Therefore, the antioxidant and copper damage inhibitor added to the crosslinked polyethylene are crosslinked. The structure of the catalyst changes, and it is difficult to produce a recycled cable that satisfies various characteristics and has a good appearance even if it is extruded with recycled polyethylene.

そこで、再生ポリエチレンに酸化防止剤と銅害防止剤と架橋触媒とを加えることで、再生ケーブルの絶縁材料に元の架橋ポリエチレンと同等の特性を持たせることができる。   Therefore, by adding an antioxidant, a copper damage inhibitor and a crosslinking catalyst to the recycled polyethylene, the insulating material of the recycled cable can have the same characteristics as the original crosslinked polyethylene.

本発明においては、再生ポリエチレン100重量部に対して酸化防止剤と銅害防止剤、架橋触媒をそれぞれ0.03重量部程度添加する。   In the present invention, about 0.03 parts by weight of an antioxidant, a copper damage inhibitor, and a crosslinking catalyst are added to 100 parts by weight of recycled polyethylene.

次に本発明の実施例を比較例と共に説明する。   Next, examples of the present invention will be described together with comparative examples.

Figure 2006241235

表1の実施例1〜6及び比較例1〜5に示す絶縁組成物を、38mm2 の軟銅撚線上にそれぞれ1.2mm厚さに押し出した。この時の詳細は次の通りである。 The insulating compositions shown in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 in Table 1 were each extruded to a thickness of 1.2 mm on 38 mm 2 annealed copper stranded wire. The details at this time are as follows.

始めに、ロール混練によって表1に示す配合剤のマスタバッチを作製した。   First, a master batch of the compounding agent shown in Table 1 was prepared by roll kneading.

すなわち、ベースPEとしてLLDPE(低密度ポリエチレン)100重量部に酸化防止剤(ペンタエリスリチル−テトラエキス[3−(3,5−ジ−t−ブチル−4−ヒドロキシフェニル)プロピオネート])、銅害防止剤(イソフタル酸ビス(2フェノキシプロピオニル ヒドラジン))、架橋触媒(ジブチル錫ラウリレート)を混合し、ロール混練にてマスタバッチ(実施例2〜6)とした。但し、実施例1は、マスタバッチを作らず、再生ポリエチレンに酸化防止剤、銅害防止剤、架橋触媒を直接添加し、実施例6は、マスタバッチを作らず、さらに銅害防止剤を添加しない例を示している。   That is, 100 parts by weight of LLDPE (low density polyethylene) as a base PE was added with an antioxidant (pentaerythrityl-tetra extract [3- (3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate]), copper damage An inhibitor (bis (2-phenoxypropionyl hydrazine) isophthalate) and a crosslinking catalyst (dibutyltin laurate) were mixed, and a master batch (Examples 2 to 6) was prepared by roll kneading. However, Example 1 does not make a masterbatch, and directly adds an antioxidant, a copper damage inhibitor, and a crosslinking catalyst to recycled polyethylene. Example 6 does not make a masterbatch and adds a copper damage inhibitor. An example that does not.

また、比較例1〜5として、マスタバッチを作らず再生PEのみ(比較例1)、LLDPEに架橋触媒のみを添加してマスタバッチとしたもの(比較例2、4)、LLDPEに架橋触媒を添加しないでマスタバッチとしたもの(比較例3、5)を用意した。   Further, as Comparative Examples 1 to 5, only a regenerated PE without producing a master batch (Comparative Example 1), a master batch obtained by adding only a crosslinking catalyst to LLDPE (Comparative Examples 2 and 4), and a crosslinking catalyst for LLDPE A master batch (Comparative Examples 3 and 5) was prepared without addition.

次に、再生PE、または再生PEとベースPEを所定の割合でブレンドして再生PEとしたものに対して、実施例1〜6,比較例1〜5に示すようにマスタバッチを、0,5,20重量部の割合で混合し、これを200℃の130mm押出機に投入した。   Next, as shown in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the master batch is set to 0, 0 for the regenerated PE or the regenerated PE by blending the regenerated PE and the base PE at a predetermined ratio. The mixture was mixed at a ratio of 5, 20 parts by weight, and this was put into a 130 mm extruder at 200 ° C.

これをストランド状に押し出してペレタイズした後に、150℃のロール混練機でシート状にし、180℃で5分間のプレス成形を行って材料評価用のシートを作製した。その後、80℃、95%水蒸気の雰囲気に24時間放置して架橋させて試料とした。   This was extruded into a strand shape and pelletized, and then formed into a sheet shape with a roll kneader at 150 ° C., and subjected to press molding at 180 ° C. for 5 minutes to produce a sheet for material evaluation. Thereafter, the sample was allowed to crosslink for 24 hours in an atmosphere of 80 ° C. and 95% steam to prepare a sample.

これらの各試料について、酸化劣化の指標である酸素指数(OIT;酸化誘導期)測定と劣化試験(老化試験)を行った。またゲル分率を測定し、再生配合が架橋ポリエチレンになっているかどうかを確認した。   Each of these samples was subjected to an oxygen index (OIT; oxidation induction period) measurement, which is an index of oxidative degradation, and a degradation test (aging test). Moreover, the gel fraction was measured and it was confirmed whether the reproduction | regeneration mixing | blending became cross-linked polyethylene.

OIT測定は、DSC(示差走査型熱量計)を用い、材料が180℃の酸素雰囲気下で酸化による発熱が始まるまでの時間を測定した。   The OIT measurement was performed using a DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter), and the time until the material started to generate heat due to oxidation in an oxygen atmosphere at 180 ° C. was measured.

また、老化試験用のサンプルは、プレス成形の際に、1mmシートに成形してJIS C3605の引張試験方法に記載のダンベル3号で打ち抜いて引張試験を行った。   A sample for aging test was formed into a 1 mm sheet at the time of press molding and punched with dumbbell No. 3 described in the tensile test method of JIS C3605, and a tensile test was performed.

老化試験のTS残率(引張強度残率)およびTE残率の合格基準は電線用の絶縁材料として使用することを考慮に入れて設定した。老化試験の残率Rとは老化試験前の特性Sbと老化試験後の特性値Saから以下の式で与えられる。   The acceptance criteria for the TS remaining ratio (tensile strength remaining ratio) and TE remaining ratio in the aging test were set in consideration of use as an insulating material for electric wires. The residual rate R of the aging test is given by the following equation from the characteristic Sb before the aging test and the characteristic value Sa after the aging test.

R=Sa/Sb × 100
120℃老化試験後のTS算後のTS残率、TE残率がそれぞれ80%以上、65%以上のものを○、未満のものを×とした。また、135℃老化試験後のTS算後のTS残率、TE残率ともに75〜125%のものを○、それ以外のものを×とした。
R = Sa / Sb × 100
TS residual ratio and TE residual ratio after TS calculation after 120 ° C. aging test were 80% or more and 65% or more, respectively. In addition, the TS residual ratio and the TE residual ratio after TS calculation after the 135 ° C. aging test were evaluated as “◯” for 75 to 125%, and “X” for the rest.

ゲル分率は110℃キシレン中で24時間抽出した後、80℃で4時間真空乾燥し、抽出乾燥後の重量と抽出前の重量から次式を用いてゲル分率を計算した。   The gel fraction was extracted in xylene at 110 ° C. for 24 hours and then vacuum-dried at 80 ° C. for 4 hours, and the gel fraction was calculated from the weight after extraction and the weight before extraction using the following formula.

ゲル分率(%)=(乾燥後重量/抽出前重量)×100
この結果、ゲル分率20%以上を○、それ以下を×とした。
Gel fraction (%) = (weight after drying / weight before extraction) × 100
As a result, the gel fraction of 20% or more was marked with ◯, and the lower percentage was marked with ×.

実施例1〜6では全ての特性において合格したが、比較例1〜5では、いずれかの特性において不合格となった。
