DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a composition for obtaining foamed polyethylene having a high expansion rate, such as foamed polyzolopyrene used as an insulating wire for communication cables and an insulating separator for coaxial cables.

(Prior art) Like polyethylene, polyzolopyrene is a plastic made of carbon and hydrogen, and it is not only a plastic with excellent electrical properties, but also has better physical properties than polyethylene, so it is used in electrical applications such as electric wires and cables. It is a preferred material for use.

そのため、ポリプロピレンを発泡させる必要がある。
By the way, when using polypropylene as an insulating layer for communication cables or an insulating separator for coaxial cables, it is desirable that the dielectric constant be small, but for this reason, it is necessary to foam polypropylene.

In particular, recent foamed polyzorogylene electric wires require a foaming degree of 30% or more, and coaxial cables require a foaming degree of 40% or more.
Approximately 70% of this is required, but unfortunately this has not yet been achieved.

(Problem to be solved) When we investigated the reason for this, we found that the suitable molding temperature for polypropylene is around 220°C, but since the decomposition temperature of commonly used blowing agents is 190°C, it is necessary to add them to the composition. The blended blowing agent completely decomposes during molding, and the amount of decomposed gas generated cannot be controlled, and at 220°C, which is the molding temperature for polypropylene, the melt viscosity of polypropylene is extremely low at around η-3 x 104 poise. Because the temperature was so low, the polypropylene membrane that traps the air bubbles could not withstand the internal gas pressure and burst, forming a foam filled with open cells, giant bubbles, and pinholes.

Therefore, the limit of the foamed polypropylene insulator used in the past is 30%, and although there are research reports on the degree of foaming of 50%, it has yet to be commercialized.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been developed as a result of various studies in view of the above-mentioned actual situation, and is based on the styrene/ethylene conflict phthalene/sterenyl lock copolymer 'f: specified for polypropylene. The present invention provides a composition in which the decomposed gas of the blowing agent can be kept in fine closed cells during molding by blending the foaming agent in a proportion of .

If the polypropylene exceeds 90 parts by weight and the styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer is less than 10 parts by weight, the viscosity of the composition during molding may become low and foaming may increase. There is a tendency for open cells to form. Also, polypropylene is 70
If the amount of styrene/ethylene/butylene styrene block copolymer exceeds 30 parts by weight,
Although the degree of foaming is increased, the mechanical properties of the polypropylene are deteriorated, and the block copolymer is expensive, which increases the cost and hinders its practical use.

(Effects of the present invention) As described above, the present invention is characterized by the fact that polypropylene is blended with styrene-ethylene-zoterene Φ styrene block copolymer, so that a homogeneous polymer is formed with good compatibility between the two, and moreover, during molding. Although the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent is much lower than the molding temperature of polypropylene due to the high melt viscosity of the polymer, this polymer allows the cells to form a sufficiently fine cell state, that is, a closed cell state, which was previously considered impossible. It is possible to obtain polypropylene with a high degree of foaming, which was previously used in the production of electric wires and cables, and therefore, when this is used in the manufacture of electric wires and cables, a coating with a low dielectric constant of about 1.3 can be obtained.
