Summary of the invention
But, when halogen-free fire-proof resin composition is made up of polymkeric substance and fire retardant etc., and when directly using the described used so far PVC production unit of Fig. 3, produced following problem, and be absorbed in must the investment new installation the condition.
That is to say; Compare with PVC; Because the difference of the formation of compounding ingredient and the characteristic of compsn is if use mixing machine 30 in the past and continuous extruding granulator 35 then have the supply inequality of Synergist S-421 95, the problem that particle is adhered mutually when mediating deficiency, granulation.In addition, powders such as fire retardant remain in the connection portion of feedway 34 and continuous extruding granulator 35 grades, and when cleaning or replacing kind, have expended the time in order to be removed, and therefore have the problem that production efficiency reduces.
In addition, extruding in the operation of electric wire, PVC is excellent in cleaning or the isochronous operability of replacing kind, and on the contrary, halogen-free fire-proof resin composition because its compsn has binding property etc., therefore when cleaning or replacing kind, expends time in.In addition, when extruding operation, foreign matter accumulates in extrusion die or core iron place, so its production efficiency reduces.
As stated, because halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination in the past uses powder and granular polymkeric substance as fire retardant; Therefore because the bridge joint (bridge) of material etc. when mediating; Supply with inhomogeneously and produced, and quality is unstable, thereby can't directly use PVC equipment.
Therefore, as the kneader device of halogen-free fire-proof resin composition, can consider the closed kneading device (Ban Buli mixing machine or kneader) that the materials used supply is carried out through manual operation.Yet, mediate device to closed and drop into material, it is artificial generally to use poidometer to replace, so facility investment increases greatly.In addition, owing to do not have automatic flushing device, so production efficiency is poor.
In addition; Material in the feedway generally is supplied to tablets press through screw rod, blade or travelling belt; But halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination; In order to have suppressed the bridge joint of material, therefore need and make the whisking appliance etc. of material movement with vibrator, knocker etc., and still not preferred aspect facility investment.
In addition, halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination in the past needs sufficient shearing force and kneading time when mediating, and therefore as this kneader device, must adopt the big continuous kneading extruder of L/D value (L/D big=mediate regional length).
Yet if increase L/D, not only mediating needs high torque (HT) when extruding, and owing to shear heating, in compsn, produces foaming, therefore can't obtain stable quality.
In addition,,, and cause the particle after the granulation to connect adhesion between mutually, therefore can't obtain good particle then because its character if mediate the halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination with in the past PVC kneader device.
Therefore, when the kneader device of using PVC was mediated, (water is cooling extruded to be zonal compsn must to carry out water-cooled bundle mode; And form granular method with tablets press), thus, need to remove the moisture of attachment removal; And an end formed band shape, this causes productivity poor.
As stated, when using the PVC kneader device to mediate halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination in the past, not only need the more equipment investment, cause process cost to improve, and its productivity has also reduced.

(embodiment 1)
Embodiment 1 is in (A) acrylic resin (YM-017 of Li Yang company of Mitsubishi); Add fire retardants such as 40 weight parts (B) DOP (phthalic acid two 2-ethylhexyls), 40 weight parts (C) Marinco H and (add nitrogen flame retardant 5 weight parts; And to add 0.5 weight part phenol be the system of inhibitor as other additive zinc flame retardant 1 weight part, Marinco H 34 weight parts); It all satisfies above-mentioned zero condition for mediating, extruding processibility, rerum natura.
(embodiment 2)
Embodiment 2 changes to DINP (DINP) with softening agent (B); And addition increased to 60 weight parts; And the system that (C) fire retardant (Marinco H) is increased to 60 weight parts; Flexiblely improve, but mediate, extrude processibility, rerum natura and also all satisfy above-mentioned condition than embodiment 1.
(embodiment 3)
Embodiment 3 changes to DOIP (m-phthalic acid two 2-ethylhexyls) with softening agent (B); And to make addition be 60 weight parts; And to make (C) fire retardant be the system of 50 weight parts, identical with embodiment 1,2, mediates, extrudes processibility, rerum natura and all satisfy above-mentioned condition.
(embodiment 4)
Embodiment 4 be DOIP with embodiment 3 as softening agent (B), and to make addition be 40 weight parts, and to make fire retardant (C) be the system of 60 weight parts, identical with embodiment 1,2, mediates, extrudes processibility, rerum natura and all satisfy above-mentioned condition.
(embodiment 5)
Embodiment 5 is that to make the addition of softening agent (B) be 25 weight parts, and fire retardant (C) is reduced to the system of 30 weight parts, and is identical with embodiment 1-4, and processibility, rerum natura are good.
(comparative example 1)
Comparative example 1 is the example of the halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination used of the general electric wire of expression, this be with EVA (ethene-vinyl acetate copolymer) as basic, and add the system of 50 parts by weight of flame retardant.
In this comparative example 1, rerum natura can satisfy above-mentioned specification, but mediates processibility, extrude processibility and can't satisfy above-mentioned condition.In kneading, because the proterties of raw material is different, therefore when this mixture was supplied to kneading extruder, generation was supplied with uneven, can't obtain the feed rate same with PVC.In addition, in extruding, adhere to the metallic contact face during owing to the compound fusion, therefore can't prevent the foreign body retention of mould, core iron, and need spended time for removing the resin that stops up in the breaker plate.
(comparative example 2)
Comparative example 2 is with respect to embodiment 2, has increased by 15 parts by weight of flame retardant (C), and is added into the system of 65 weight parts.
In this comparative example 2, though mediate processibility, to extrude processibility good, the elongation residual rate of the stretch value of tensile properties, oil resistant characteristic is not enough.
(comparative example 3)
Comparative example 3 is to have increased DINP, and is added into the system of 65 weight parts.
In this comparative example 3, though can obtain mediating processibility, extrude the good result of processibility, for rerum natura, the intensity level of tensile properties is not enough.
Can know by this comparative example 2,3,, preferably use softening agent (B), these two kinds of compositions of not halogen-containing fire retardant (C) with the amount below 60 weight parts with respect to acrylic resin (A).
Keep softening agent with respect to PVC through electric bonding force, acrylic resin (A) keeps softening agent through acrylic acid composition, and this is estimated as on softening agent addition and filler addition and has produced boundary value.Aspect processibility, with respect to PVC, intermolecular forces reduces, and intermolecular distance increases, and makes the softening agent invasive become easy.Not adding in the system of not halogen-containing fire retardant (C), can in the shorter time, mediate with the shearing force lower than PVC.In addition, in order to keep the flame retardant resistance with the PVC grade, and when adding the fire retardants such as Marinco H of necessary amounts, can observe viscosity has some to rise, and this expression can keep the characteristic of or better processibility identical with PVC.
In order to improve compatible degree to softening agent (phthalic acid ester); And obtain the rerum natura more approaching with flexible PVC, have and improve the n-butyl acrylate containing ratio, or new co-polypropylene acid 2-ethylhexyl and control the method for SP value; Even and this containing ratio changes as required, also it doesn't matter.
By on can know that in acrylic acid series halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination of the present invention, the addition of softening agent (B) is preferably 25~60 weight parts shown in the table 1, fire retardant (C) is preferably 30~60 weight parts.
Yet,, in embodiment 1~5, on the cleaning time of mediating production line, produced following difference though do not express in the table 1.
With respect to cleaning time of PVC in the past be average 20 minutes, embodiment 1 is 12 minutes, embodiment 2 is 13 minutes, embodiment 3 is 13 minutes, embodiment 4 is 11 minutes, embodiment 5 is 19 minutes.
The cleaning property of embodiment 5; Slow with respect to other embodiment 1~4; Be because the addition of the addition of softening agent (B) and not halogen-containing fire retardant (C) is few; And since powder because of static attached on the wall of ribbon blender tempering tank or attached to discharging on the chute, therefore in cleaning work, need the time.
To this; Because the addition of softening agent (B) is 40~60 weight parts among the embodiment 1~4, and the addition of not halogen-containing fire retardant (C) is adjusted between 40~60 weight parts, so mixture has formed appropriate wet type state; Do not produce static, and effectively clean.
Therefore, in acrylic acid series halogen-free flame-retardance resin combination of the present invention, the addition of softening agent (B) is 40~60 weight parts, and the addition of fire retardant (C) is 40~60 weight parts, aspect cleaning property more preferably.
