Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention provides a novel semi-conducting # that is easy to mold as an internal or external semi-conductive layer of a power cable and has a great effect of inhibiting water tree generation. [Conventional technology 1] When cross-linked polyethylene insulated cables are used in a humid environment, electrochemical deterioration called so-called water tree occurs, and cross-linked polyethylene insulated cables have been developed to prevent this problem. This has been a long-standing issue since its practical application. Water damage occurs starting from foreign objects or protrusions on the internal or external semiconducting layer. Therefore, in order to prevent these foreign objects and protrusions from getting mixed in, a common extrusion method has been adopted in which the semiconducting layer is extruded using the same crosshead as the insulator. [Problems that cannot be solved by the invention] In general, a semiconducting layer is made of a composition in which a bolymer and 1s conductive carbon black are mixed, and the ease with which water tree occurs is not only due to the protrusions and foreign matter but also due to the semiconducting layer. It depends on the material of the layer. In other words, compared to those using glasstics such as ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer as the polymer,
Half-iI# electrical layers made of rubber-based materials such as ethylene-1-robylene rubber have less water tree formation. However, semiconductive tsmen using ethylene propylene rubber has an extremely high viscosity and cannot be applied to the common extrusion method. [Means for Solving Problem A] The present invention aims to provide a rubber-based semiconductive resin composition with high water resistance that can be coextruded using a common head. - A semiconductive 4111 resin made by blending 5 to 50 imaginary parts of a liquid ethylene-α olefin copolymer and conductive carbon black to toogLm part of a resin component mainly composed of α-olefin-boriene copolymer rubber. The α-olefin in the ethylene-α-olefin-boriene copolymer rubber used in the present invention, which is a feature of the composition, is suitably one having a carbon number between 3 and 10; Suitable examples include commonly used non-conjugated dienes such as 1,4-hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene, and ethylidene norbornene. There is no problem in mixing ethylene-based polymers with the rubber made of the above ingredients. In this case, the ethylene polymers include polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene ethyl acrylate copolymer, enalenbutene-1
Examples include copolymers. When mixing these ethylene-based polymers, it is necessary to select a mixing ratio such that the amount is 45 to 0 parts by weight to 55 to 0 parts of the ethylene-α olefin-borien copolymer rubber. From the standpoint of water resistance, it is a necessary condition that the rubber component must be greater than the plastic component. The liquid ethylene-α olefin copolymer added in the present invention has the general formula -H-CH! 1CH1■Koh CHt -CI;1←igoR (R: CnH2o,, n is an integer, x.y.z: IE number}, and the number average molecular weight is 1
.. 000 or more are used. This is added to reduce the viscosity of the above-mentioned semiconductive resin composition, and it has superior heat resistance compared to mineral oil, etc., which has traditionally been used to lower the viscosity of rubber, that is, to soften it. Moreover, it has a chemical composition that is very similar to that of the ethylene-α-olefin-boriene copolymer rubber, which is the main component.
Because it has an I structure, it is characterized by good compatibility and almost no problems such as seepage to the surface. On the other hand, if it is added in a large amount exceeding 50 parts by weight, it may ooze out onto the surface, which is undesirable. On the other hand, 51f1
If added in too small a quantity (less than 1 part), it will not have the effect of lowering the viscosity of the main component rubber.The conductive carbon black that is blended to impart conductivity to the above resin may include acetylene black, furnace black, or Ketjenbrack etc. can be mentioned. If necessary, it goes without saying that crosslinking agents, antioxidants, processing aids, etc. may be added. A semiconductive #Mll'l composition consisting of the compounding components shown in S1 to 3 of the IT table and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which will be referred to and explained, is kneaded and adjusted, and each composition is crosslinked to form a semiconductive layer. A polyethylene insulated power cable was manufactured using an extrusion method. An 80-2 copper stranded wire was used as a conductor, a 65III extruder was used, and an internal semiconductor ICM with a thickness of 0.5 mm was prepared using the composition shown in Table 1. 7ms, density 0.920g/aI3 as an insulator, melt index (Ml) 1
.. A resin #I composition prepared by adding 2.0 parts by weight of dicumyl peroxide and 0.2 parts by weight of an antioxidant to 1 part by weight of low density polyethylene of An outer semiconductive layer made of the same composition as that used for the semiconductive layer was simultaneously extruded using a #11 common head to a thickness of 0.7 mm, and crosslinked by heating to form a crosslinked polyethylene insulated power layer. Cable! ! ! He passed away. The temperature gradient of the common head extruder was C1 = 90°C, Ct = 105°C, Cs = 120°C, and head = 125°C. This is the result of determining whether or not the original material can be processed. In addition, regarding oozing, the blended liquid ethylene-α
Judgment was made based on whether or not olefin co-consolidation was visually observed on the surface of the external semiconductive layer of the cable. Water was injected into the body and the entire cable was immersed in water, and an alternating current voltage of 50Hz and 18kv was applied between the conductor and the water electrode.
After 8 knlma, the voltage application was terminated and the number of water trees generated in the insulator starting from the internal semiconducting layer was counted.As is clear from Table 1, the present invention Examples 1 to 3 using such compositions as inner and outer semiconductive layers
All of them showed good extrusion processability. Furthermore, no oozing of the liquid compounded composition was observed, and no water tree formation occurred. On the other hand, in the case of Comparative Example 1 in which the ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer was used as it was, the viscosity of the product was so high that it was impossible to extrude it using a common head. In addition, in Comparative Example 2, in which the amount of liquid ethylene-a olefin copolymer added was greater than the range stipulated by the present invention, not only oozing of the liquid additive was observed, but also the occurrence of water trees, and half of the liquid additive was observed to ooze out. [Effects of the Invention J As described above, according to the rubber-based semiconductive composition of the present invention, it is found that it is inappropriate to use it as a conductive layer. It can be extruded simultaneously, making it possible to dramatically suppress the occurrence of water trees, and this will lead to the development of ultra-high voltage cross-linked polyethylene insulated power cables and the diversification of their application range in the future. However, its effects on the industry are truly significant.
