Abstract

PURPOSE:To have incombustible electric wire/cable of excellent heat and age- resistance by coating and cross-linking an element wire with a composition comprising a metal hydroxide, zinc oxide, a hydroxybenzoylisocyanurate system compound and a sulfur-containing ester system compound contained respectively in polyolefin in their corresponding ratios. CONSTITUTION:An element wire is coated and cross-linked with a composition comprising 50 to 200 pts.wt. of a metal hydroxide, not less than 0.5 pts.wt. of zinc oxide, besides 1 to 10 pts.wt. of a hydroxybenzoylisocyanurate system compound and 1 to 10 pts.wt. of a sulfur-containing ester system compound contained respectively in 100 pts.wt. of polyolefin. Heat and age-resistance as well as incombustibility may be considerably improved by having the metal hydroxide contained in the polyolefin, and besides adding the zinc oxide, the hydroxybenzoylisocyanurate system compound and the sulfur-containing ester system compound thereto. Also the resultant cross-link can prevent thermal deformation of the coated wire at a high temperature. Thus, electric wire/cable can be obtained with improved heat and age-resistance as well as improved incombustibility.

[Conventional technology] Materials traditionally used as insulators and sheaths for wires and cables, including polyolefin, which is widely used due to its excellent electrical insulation properties, are all flammable and can cause fires. When a fire occurs, there are many cases where the fire spreads through the wiring system of wires and cables.
Demand for wires and cables is increasing. In particular, as a recent trend, it is necessary to pass a multi-strip combustion test that simulates actual installation conditions as stipulated in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Standard 383 VTFT (Vertical Tray Burning Paper@). There is a growing demand for a high degree of flame retardancy.

However, flame-retardant electrical insulation compositions containing halogen elements generate a large amount of nonflammable halogen-based gas in the event of a fire, thereby blocking oxygen around electric wires and cables and attempting to prevent combustion. Although it exhibits sufficient flame retardant properties, many of the halogen gases generated are toxic, such as hydrogen chloride, and large amounts of smoke containing such toxic gases are generated. The visibility becomes poor, which may impede evacuation and firefighting efforts in the event of a fire, or the toxic gas may adversely affect the human body, leading to a risk of secondary disasters.

Therefore, instead of the halogen-based compounds mentioned above, a metal hydroxide such as aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide is mixed with polyolefin as a flame retardant to create the above-mentioned non-halogen flame-retardant electrical insulation composition with an emphasis on safety in the event of a fire. It has been proposed and is attracting attention.
