 本発明は、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体及びその製造方法並びに耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体を用いた耐熱性製品に関し、特に、優れた、機械特性、絶縁抵抗及び難燃性を有する耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体及びその製造方法、並びに、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体を電線の絶縁体やシース等として用いた耐熱性製品に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a heat-resistant silane cross-linked resin molded body, a method for producing the same, and a heat-resistant product using the heat-resistant silane cross-linked resin molded body, and in particular, excellent heat-resistant silane having mechanical properties, insulation resistance and flame retardancy. The present invention relates to a cross-linked resin molded body, a method for producing the same, and a heat-resistant product using the heat-resistant silane cross-linked resin molded body as an electric wire insulator or sheath.
 電気・電子機器の内部及び外部配線に使用される絶縁電線、ケーブル、コード、光ファイバ心線及び光ファイバコードには、難燃性、耐熱性、機械特性(例えば、引張特性)、耐摩耗性、絶縁抵抗など種々の特性が要求されている。これらの配線材に使用される材料としては、通常、水酸化マグネシウム、水酸化アルミニウム、炭酸カルシウム等の無機フィラーを多量に配合した樹脂組成物が用いられる。 Insulated wires, cables, cords, optical fiber cores and optical fiber cords used for internal and external wiring of electrical and electronic equipment are flame retardant, heat resistant, mechanical properties (for example, tensile properties), and abrasion resistance Various characteristics such as insulation resistance are required. As a material used for these wiring materials, a resin composition containing a large amount of an inorganic filler such as magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, or calcium carbonate is usually used.
 また、電気・電子機器に使用される配線材は、長時間使用すると80~105℃、さらには125℃位にまで昇温することがあり、これに対する耐熱性が要求される場合がある。このような場合、配線材に高耐熱性を付与することを目的として、被覆材料樹脂を電子線架橋法、化学架橋法等によって橋架け(架橋ともいう)する方法が採られている。 In addition, wiring materials used in electric / electronic devices may be heated to 80 to 105 ° C. or even 125 ° C. when used for a long time, and heat resistance against this may be required. In such a case, for the purpose of imparting high heat resistance to the wiring material, a method of bridging (also referred to as crosslinking) the coating material resin by an electron beam crosslinking method, a chemical crosslinking method, or the like is employed.
 従来、ポリエチレン等のポリオレフィン樹脂を架橋する方法として、電子線を照射して架橋させる電子線架橋法、成形後に熱を加えることにより有機過酸化物等を分解させて架橋反応させる化学架橋法や、シラン架橋法が知られている。
 シラン架橋法とは、有機過酸化物の存在下で不飽和基を有する加水分解性シランカップリング剤をポリマーにグラフト反応させてシラングラフトポリマーを得た後に、シラノール縮合触媒の存在下で水分と接触させることにより架橋成形体を得る方法である。
 上述の架橋法の中でも特にシラン架橋法は特殊な設備を要しないことが多いため、幅広い分野で使用することができる。
Conventionally, as a method of crosslinking a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, an electron beam crosslinking method in which an electron beam is irradiated to crosslink, a chemical crosslinking method in which an organic peroxide is decomposed by applying heat after molding, and a crosslinking reaction is performed, Silane cross-linking methods are known.
The silane crosslinking method is a method in which a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent having an unsaturated group is grafted to a polymer in the presence of an organic peroxide to obtain a silane graft polymer, and then water and moisture in the presence of a silanol condensation catalyst. This is a method of obtaining a cross-linked molded article by contacting them.
Among the crosslinking methods described above, the silane crosslinking method in particular does not require special equipment, and can be used in a wide range of fields.
 具体的には、シラン架橋法としては、ポリオレフィン樹脂に不飽和基を有するシランカップリング剤をグラフトさせたシランマスターバッチと、ポリオレフィン樹脂と無機フィラーを混練した耐熱性マスターバッチと、シラノール縮合触媒を含有した触媒マスターバッチとを溶融混合させる方法がある。しかし、この方法ではポリオレフィン樹脂100質量部に対して無機フィラーの使用量が100質量部を超える場合では、シランマスターバッチと耐熱性マスターバッチとを乾式混合して、単軸押出機や二軸押出機内にて均一に溶融混練することが困難になる。このように、シランマスターバッチと耐熱性マスターバッチとを乾式混合で溶融混練を均一に行うには、シランマスターバッチの割合が制限されてしまうため、より高難燃化、高耐熱化することが困難であった。しかも、このような方法を用いて製造すると架橋樹脂とした場合に優れた強度や耐摩耗性、補強性を付与することが困難であった。 Specifically, the silane crosslinking method includes a silane master batch obtained by grafting a silane coupling agent having an unsaturated group to a polyolefin resin, a heat resistant master batch obtained by kneading a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler, and a silanol condensation catalyst. There is a method of melt-mixing the contained catalyst master batch. However, in this method, when the amount of the inorganic filler used exceeds 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyolefin resin, the silane master batch and the heat-resistant master batch are dry-mixed to obtain a single screw extruder or a twin screw extruder. It becomes difficult to melt and knead uniformly in the machine. Thus, in order to uniformly melt and knead a silane masterbatch and a heat-resistant masterbatch by dry mixing, the ratio of the silane masterbatch is limited, so that it is possible to achieve higher flame retardancy and higher heat resistance. It was difficult. Moreover, when manufactured using such a method, it is difficult to impart excellent strength, wear resistance, and reinforcing properties when a crosslinked resin is used.
 通常、このような無機フィラーが、ポリオレフィン樹脂100質量部に対して100質量部を超える場合の混練には、連続混練機、加圧式ニーダーやバンバリーミキサー等の密閉型ミキサーを用いることが一般的である。
 ところが、ニーダーやバンバリーミキサーでシラングラフトを行う場合には、不飽和基を有する加水分解性シランカップリング剤は一般に揮発性が高く、グラフト反応する前に揮発してしまうという問題がある。そのため所望のシラン架橋マスターバッチを作製することが、まず非常に困難である。
Usually, when such inorganic filler exceeds 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of polyolefin resin, it is common to use a continuous mixer, a closed mixer such as a pressure kneader or a Banbury mixer. is there.
However, when silane grafting is carried out with a kneader or Banbury mixer, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent having an unsaturated group is generally highly volatile and volatilizes before the graft reaction. Therefore, it is very difficult to produce a desired silane cross-linked master batch.
 そこで、バンバリーミキサーやニーダーにて、耐熱性シランマスターバッチを製造する場合、ポリオレフィン樹脂及び無機フィラーをバンバリーミキサー等で溶融混合した耐熱性マスターバッチに、不飽和基を有する加水分解性シランカップリング剤と有機過酸化物を加え、単軸押出機にてグラフト重合させる方法が考えられる。
 しかし、この方法では反応のばらつきによって成形体に外観不良が生じて、所望の成形体を得ることができない。また、耐熱性マスターバッチ中の無機フィラーの配合割合を多くしなければならない。そのため押出負荷が大きくなり、製造が非常に難しくなって、所望の材料や成形体を得ることができない。さらに、2工程となり、製造コスト面でもこれが難点となっている。
Therefore, when producing a heat-resistant silane masterbatch with a Banbury mixer or kneader, a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent having an unsaturated group is added to the heat-resistant masterbatch obtained by melting and mixing a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler with a Banbury mixer. And an organic peroxide may be added and graft polymerization may be performed with a single screw extruder.
However, in this method, a defective appearance occurs in the molded body due to variation in reaction, and a desired molded body cannot be obtained. Moreover, the compounding ratio of the inorganic filler in the heat resistant masterbatch must be increased. For this reason, the extrusion load becomes large, the production becomes very difficult, and a desired material or molded product cannot be obtained. Furthermore, this is a two-step process, which is a difficult point in terms of manufacturing cost.
 特許文献1にはポリオレフィン系樹脂にシランカップリング剤で表面処理した無機フィラー、シランカップリング剤、有機過酸化物、架橋触媒をニーダーにて十分に溶融混練した後に、単軸押出機にて成形する方法が提案されている。
 しかし、この方法では、ニーダーでの溶融混練中に樹脂が一部架橋してしまい成形体は外観不良(表面に突出した多数のツブ状物の形成)を引き起こす。これに加えて、無機フィラーに表面処理されたシランカップリング剤以外のシランカップリング剤の大部分は、揮発するか又はシランカップリング剤同士が縮合するおそれがある。そのため、所望の耐熱性を得ることができないばかりか、シランカップリング剤同士の縮合が電線の外観悪化の要因となるおそれがある。
In Patent Document 1, an inorganic filler surface-treated with a silane coupling agent, a silane coupling agent, an organic peroxide, and a crosslinking catalyst are sufficiently melt-kneaded with a kneader and then molded with a single screw extruder. A method has been proposed.
However, in this method, the resin is partially crosslinked during melt kneading in a kneader, causing the molded body to have a poor appearance (formation of a large number of protrusions protruding on the surface). In addition to this, most of the silane coupling agents other than the silane coupling agent surface-treated on the inorganic filler may volatilize or the silane coupling agents may condense. For this reason, desired heat resistance cannot be obtained, and condensation between silane coupling agents may cause deterioration of the appearance of the electric wire.
 また、特許文献2~4にはブロック共重合体等をベース樹脂とし、軟化剤として非芳香族系ゴム用軟化剤を加えたビニル芳香族系熱可塑性エラストマー組成物を、シラン表面処理された無機フィラーを介して有機過酸化物を用いて部分架橋する技術が提案されている。
 しかし、このような技術であっても、まだ、樹脂が十分な網状構造になっておらず、樹脂と無機フィラーの結合は高温で結合が外れる。そのため、高温下では溶融し、例えば電線のハンダ加工中に絶縁材が熔けてしまったり、また成形体を2次加工する際に変形したり、発泡を生じたりする問題がある。さらに200℃程度に短時間加熱されると、外観が著しく劣化したり、変形したりする問題がある。
Further, Patent Documents 2 to 4 disclose a vinyl aromatic thermoplastic elastomer composition having a block copolymer or the like as a base resin and a non-aromatic rubber softener added as a softener. A technique of partially crosslinking using an organic peroxide through a filler has been proposed.
However, even with such a technique, the resin does not yet have a sufficient network structure, and the bond between the resin and the inorganic filler is released at a high temperature. For this reason, there is a problem that it melts at a high temperature, for example, the insulating material melts during soldering of the electric wire, or deforms or foams when the molded body is secondarily processed. Furthermore, when heated to about 200 ° C. for a short time, there is a problem that the appearance is remarkably deteriorated or deformed.

When using the silane cross-linking method as described above, the present inventors previously mixed a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent that easily volatilizes with an inorganic filler (this is referred to as premixing), and hydrolyzable silane coupling. When combined with a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler bonded to a level that suppresses the volatilization of the agent and a specific amount of brominated flame retardant, insulation is achieved while maintaining the excellent mechanical properties of the heat-resistant silane crosslinked resin molding It has been found that the flame retardancy can be improved to be equal to or higher than that of a molded article obtained by increasing resistance and electron beam crosslinking. In addition, it has also been found that when used in combination with a brominated flame retardant, the amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler can be reduced.

(D) Silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler The silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is prepared by previously mixing the above-mentioned inorganic filler (C) with a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q). The inorganic filler (C) is surface-treated with a functional silane coupling agent (q). In addition, the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) includes the resin component (A), the organic peroxide (P), and the like, as will be described later, and the inorganic filler (C) and the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q). And the surface treated by mixing with. Therefore, the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) can also be referred to as a silane coupling agent-containing inorganic filler and a silane coupling agent-treated inorganic filler. Here, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) for surface-treating the inorganic filler (C) is as described above.
 シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)は、無機フィラー(C)と加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)とを混合して得られる。加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)及び無機フィラー(C)を混合する方法としては、アルコールや水中で加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)と無機フィラー(C)を混合させる湿式処理、無機フィラー(C)と加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)とをブレンドする乾式処理、及び、その両方が挙げられる。 The silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is obtained by mixing the inorganic filler (C) and the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q). As a method of mixing the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) and the inorganic filler (C), a wet process in which the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) and the inorganic filler (C) are mixed in alcohol or water, inorganic Examples thereof include a dry treatment for blending the filler (C) and the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q), and both.
 このようにして無機フィラー(C)と加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)とを、後述する工程(a)で有機過酸化物(P)と混合される前または同時に予備混合等すると、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の一部が無機フィラー(C)と強く結合(その理由は、例えば、無機フィラー表面の水酸基等との化学結合の形成が考えられる)して、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)が調製される。 Thus, if the inorganic filler (C) and the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) are premixed before or simultaneously with the organic peroxide (P) in the step (a) described later, A part of the decomposable silane coupling agent (q) is strongly bonded to the inorganic filler (C) (the reason is, for example, formation of a chemical bond with a hydroxyl group on the surface of the inorganic filler is considered), and silane coupling An agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is prepared.
 このシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)において、無機フィラー(C)と強く結合する加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)と無機フィラー(C)と弱く結合(水素結合による相互作用、イオン、部分電荷もしくは双極子間での相互作用、吸着による作用等)する加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)とは、後述するように、異なる挙動を示す。したがって、これら加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の割合によって得られる効果が相違する。無機フィラー(C)と弱く結合する加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)は樹脂成分(A)同士の架橋に寄与し、無機フィラー(C)と強く結合する加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)は加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)同士の縮合も含み、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と樹脂成分(A)との結合等に寄与する。したがって、両加水分解性シランカップリング剤の割合を特定の範囲にすると、シラン架橋法において、耐熱性と、機械特性、難燃性及び外観とを両立できる。 In this silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q), which binds strongly to the inorganic filler (C), and the inorganic filler (C) are weakly bonded (interaction by hydrogen bonds, ions And a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) that interacts between partial charges or dipoles, an action by adsorption, etc.), as described later, shows a different behavior. Therefore, the effect obtained by the ratio of these hydrolyzable silane coupling agents (q) differs. The hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) that binds weakly to the inorganic filler (C) contributes to the cross-linking of the resin components (A) and strongly binds to the inorganic filler (C) (q ) Also includes condensation of hydrolyzable silane coupling agents (q), and contributes to bonding between the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) and the resin component (A). Therefore, when the ratio of the both hydrolyzable silane coupling agents is set to a specific range, in the silane crosslinking method, both heat resistance, mechanical properties, flame retardancy, and appearance can be achieved.
 シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)において、無機フィラー(C)と弱く結合する加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の割合を調整する方法は、例えば、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)と無機フィラー(C)とを常温で混合することにより調整する方法、予備混合後に常温保管若しくは加熱保管するする方法、又は、予備混合前に無機フィラー(C)を加熱しておき加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)と混合する方法等が挙げられる。 In the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), a method for adjusting the ratio of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) that is weakly bonded to the inorganic filler (C) is, for example, a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent ( q) and a method of adjusting by mixing inorganic filler (C) at room temperature, a method of storing at normal temperature or preheated after premixing, or hydrolysis by heating inorganic filler (C) before premixing And a method of mixing with a functional silane coupling agent (q).

The oil content is as described above.
 工程(a)において、樹脂成分(A)は、後述するように、そのすべてを工程(a1)で用いてもよく、また、一部を工程(a1)で、残部を工程(a2)で用いてもよい。シラノール縮合触媒(e1)の混合性の点で、樹脂成分(A)は、一部を工程(a1)で、残部を工程(a2)で用いるのが好ましい。このときの、工程(a1)と工程(a2)とで用いる樹脂成分(A)の質量割合は後述する。 In the step (a), as described later, the resin component (A) may be used entirely in the step (a1), or a part thereof may be used in the step (a1) and the rest in the step (a2). May be. In terms of the mixing property of the silanol condensation catalyst (e1), it is preferable that a part of the resin component (A) is used in the step (a1) and the rest in the step (a2). The mass ratio of the resin component (A) used in the step (a1) and the step (a2) at this time will be described later.
 工程(a)において、有機過酸化物(P)の配合量は、樹脂成分(A)100質量部に対して、0.01~0.6質量部であり、好ましくは0.03~0.5質量部である。有機過酸化物(P)をこの範囲内にすることにより、適切な範囲で重合を行うことができ、架橋ゲル等に起因する凝集塊も発生することなく押し出し性に優れた耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)が得ることができる。
 すなわち、有機過酸化物(P)の配合量が0.01質量部未満では、架橋時に架橋反応が進行せずに全く架橋反応が進まなかったり、遊離したシランカップリング剤同士が結合してしまったりして耐熱性や機械強度、耐摩耗性、補強性を十分に得ることが出来ず、一方、0.6質量部を超えると、副反応によって樹脂成分同士が多く直接的に架橋してしまい、押し出し性が低下するうえ、ブツが生じるおそれがある。
In the step (a), the compounding amount of the organic peroxide (P) is 0.01 to 0.6 parts by weight, preferably 0.03 to 0.00 parts per 100 parts by weight of the resin component (A). 5 parts by mass. By making the organic peroxide (P) within this range, the polymerization can be carried out in an appropriate range, and the heat-resistant silane cross-linking property is excellent in extrudability without generating an agglomerate due to a cross-linked gel or the like. A resin composition (F) can be obtained.
That is, when the amount of the organic peroxide (P) is less than 0.01 parts by mass, the crosslinking reaction does not proceed at the time of crosslinking and the crosslinking reaction does not proceed at all, or the released silane coupling agents are bonded to each other. Heat resistance, mechanical strength, wear resistance, and reinforcement cannot be obtained sufficiently, and if it exceeds 0.6 parts by mass, many resin components are directly cross-linked by side reaction. In addition, the extrudability deteriorates and there is a risk that bumps will occur.
 シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の配合量は、後述する臭素系難燃剤との併用によって低減でき、具体的には、樹脂成分(A)100質量部に対して、10~150質量部であり、好ましくは20~120質量部である。シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の配合量が10質量部未満の場合は、シランカップリング剤(q)の樹脂成分(A)へのグラフト反応が不均一となり、所望の耐熱性が得られず、又は、不均一なグラフト反応により外観が低下するおそれがある。一方、150質量部を超えると、成型時や混練時の負荷が非常に大きくなり、2次成形が難しくなるおそれがある。 The blending amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) can be reduced by the combined use with a brominated flame retardant described later, specifically, 10 to 150 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin component (A). Part, preferably 20 to 120 parts by weight. When the blending amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is less than 10 parts by mass, the graft reaction of the silane coupling agent (q) to the resin component (A) becomes non-uniform, and the desired heat resistance is obtained. It may not be obtained or the appearance may deteriorate due to a non-uniform graft reaction. On the other hand, if it exceeds 150 parts by mass, the load during molding or kneading becomes very large, and secondary molding may be difficult.
 工程(a)において、臭素系難燃剤(h1)の配合量は、樹脂成分(A)100質量部に対して、15~60質量部であり、好ましくは20~60質量部であり、より好ましくは20~40質量部である。臭素系難燃剤(h1)の配合量が15質量部未満であると、所望の難燃性が得られない。一方、60質量部を超えると機械強度が低下することがある。 In the step (a), the amount of the brominated flame retardant (h1) is 15 to 60 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 60 parts by weight, more preferably 100 parts by weight of the resin component (A). Is 20 to 40 parts by mass. When the amount of the brominated flame retardant (h1) is less than 15 parts by mass, desired flame retardancy cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when it exceeds 60 mass parts, mechanical strength may fall.
 工程(a)において、三酸化アンチモン等の難燃助剤、添加剤等を混合することもできる。三酸化アンチモン(h3)の配合量は、樹脂成分(A)100質量部に対して、好ましくは5~30質量部、より好ましくは10~20質量部である。三酸化アンチモン(h3)の配合量が上述の範囲内にあると、所望の難燃性が得られ、しかも、高い機械特性を発揮する。
 添加剤は上述の配合量又は適宜の配合量で混合される。
In the step (a), a flame retardant aid such as antimony trioxide, an additive and the like can be mixed. The blending amount of antimony trioxide (h3) is preferably 5 to 30 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin component (A). When the blending amount of antimony trioxide (h3) is within the above range, desired flame retardancy is obtained and high mechanical properties are exhibited.
The additive is mixed in the above-described amount or an appropriate amount.

In the step (a), the step (a2) is performed when a part of the resin component (A) is melt-mixed in the step (a1), and the whole resin component (A) is melt-mixed in the step (a1). If not done. In this case, in the step (a3), the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) is used alone instead of the catalyst master batch (Ex).
In the step (a), the brominated flame retardant (h1) may be mixed in any one of the steps (a1) and (a2), and the brominated flame retardant (h1) is more uniformly mixed. In view of exhibiting high flame retardancy, it is preferable to mix at least in step (a1), and may be mixed in both step (a1) and step (a2).
Furthermore, when antimony trioxide (h3) is used in step (a), it is preferably mixed in either step (a1) or step (a2), and antimony trioxide (h3) is more uniform. It is more preferable to mix at least in the step (a1) from the viewpoint of exhibiting high flame retardancy, and it may be mixed in both the step (a1) and the step (a2).
 工程(a1)においては、樹脂成分(A)の一部又は全部と、有機過酸化物(P)と、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と、好ましくは臭素系難燃剤(h1)の一部又は全部とを、混合機に投入し、有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度以上に加熱しながら溶融混練して、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)を調製する。
 工程(a)において、樹脂成分(A)と有機過酸化物(P)とシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と臭素系難燃剤(h1)と三酸化アンチモン(h3)等との混合方法は、特に限定されない。例えば、有機過酸化物(P)は、単独で樹脂成分(A)及びシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)に混合してもよいが、本発明においてはシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)に含まれるのが好ましい。すなわち、工程(a)において、有機過酸化物(P)を含有しないシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)を用いてもよいが、有機過酸化物(P)を含有するシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)を用いるのが好ましい。
In the step (a1), part or all of the resin component (A), the organic peroxide (P), the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), and preferably the brominated flame retardant (h1) A part or all of the above is put into a mixer and melt-kneaded while being heated above the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P) to prepare a silane masterbatch (Dx).
In step (a), mixing of resin component (A), organic peroxide (P), silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), brominated flame retardant (h1), antimony trioxide (h3), etc. The method is not particularly limited. For example, the organic peroxide (P) may be mixed alone with the resin component (A) and the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D). In the present invention, the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler is used. It is preferable to be included in (D). That is, in the step (a), a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) that does not contain an organic peroxide (P) may be used, but a silane coupling agent that contains an organic peroxide (P). It is preferable to use a premixed inorganic filler (D).
 ここで、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)は、工程(a1)に先立って、調製又は準備するのが好ましい。例えば、常法等により、無機フィラー(C)と加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)とを混合すると、上述のように、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)が無機フィラー(C)と強く又は弱く結合してなるシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)が得られる。このようにシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の調製工程を、工程(a1)に先立って行うと局所的な架橋によるブツの発生を抑えることができる。 Here, it is preferable to prepare or prepare the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) prior to the step (a1). For example, when the inorganic filler (C) and the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) are mixed by a conventional method or the like, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is mixed with the inorganic filler (C) as described above. A silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) that is strongly or weakly bonded is obtained. As described above, when the step of preparing the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is performed prior to the step (a1), it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects due to local crosslinking.
 具体的には、好適な工程(a1)は、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)、有機過酸化物(P)及び無機フィラー(C)を混合した後、この混合物と樹脂成分(A)及び好ましくは臭素系難燃剤(h1)を有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度以上で溶融混練して、シランマスターバッチ(グラフトマー)(Dx)を調製する。 Specifically, in the preferred step (a1), the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q), the organic peroxide (P) and the inorganic filler (C) are mixed, and then the mixture and the resin component (A) are mixed. And preferably, the brominated flame retardant (h1) is melt-kneaded at a temperature equal to or higher than the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P) to prepare a silane masterbatch (graftmer) (Dx).
 好適な工程(a1)においては、まず、所定の質量割合で、無機フィラー(C)と加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)と有機過酸化物(P)を、有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度未満、好ましくは室温(25℃)で、乾式又は湿式混合して、混合物を調製する。 In the preferred step (a1), first, the inorganic filler (C), the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) and the organic peroxide (P) are mixed with the organic peroxide (P) at a predetermined mass ratio. The mixture is prepared by dry or wet mixing at a temperature lower than the decomposition temperature, preferably at room temperature (25 ° C.).
 ここで、無機フィラー(C)に混合される加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)は、無機フィラー(C)100質量部に対して、0.5~30.0質量部であり、好ましくは1.0~20.0質量部である。加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の混合量が0.5質量部未満の場合は、架橋が十分になされず、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体に所望の耐燃性や機械特性を得ることができないおそれがある。一方、30.0質量部を超えると、無機フィラー(C)の表面に吸着しない加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)が多くなるので、混練中に揮発してしまい、経済的でないばかりか、吸着しない加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)が縮合することで、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体に架橋ゲルブツや焼けが生じ外観が悪化するおそれがある。特に外観不良は30.0質量部を超える場合に顕著である。 Here, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) mixed with the inorganic filler (C) is 0.5 to 30.0 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the inorganic filler (C), preferably 1.0 to 20.0 parts by mass. When the amount of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is less than 0.5 parts by mass, the crosslinking is not sufficient, and the desired heat resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained in the heat-resistant silane crosslinked resin molded product. It may not be possible. On the other hand, if it exceeds 30.0 parts by mass, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) that does not adsorb on the surface of the inorganic filler (C) increases, and thus volatilizes during kneading, which is not economical. Condensation of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) that is not adsorbed may result in cross-linked gels and burns in the heat-resistant silane cross-linked resin molded article, and the appearance may deteriorate. In particular, the appearance defect is remarkable when it exceeds 30.0 parts by mass.
 また、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)は、樹脂成分(A)100質量部に対して、0.5~18.0質量部であることが好ましく、1.0~10.0質量部であることがより好ましい。加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の使用量が0.5質量部未満の場合は、架橋が十分に行われず、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体に所望の耐燃性や機械特性を得ることができないおそれがある。一方、18.0質量部を超えると、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)同士が縮合してしまい、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体に架橋ゲルのブツや焼けが生じ外観が悪くなるおそれがある。 The hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is preferably 0.5 to 18.0 parts by weight, and 1.0 to 10.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the resin component (A). It is more preferable that When the amount of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) used is less than 0.5 parts by mass, the crosslinking is not sufficiently performed, and desired heat resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained in the heat-resistant silane crosslinked resin molded product. It may not be possible. On the other hand, when it exceeds 18.0 parts by mass, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agents (q) are condensed with each other, and there is a risk that the heat-resistant silane crosslinked resin molded product may be damaged or burnt by the crosslinked gel and the appearance may be deteriorated. is there.
 このようにして得られる混合物は、無機フィラー(C)及び加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)が混合されてなるシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と、有機過酸化物(P)とを含有している。 The mixture thus obtained includes a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) obtained by mixing an inorganic filler (C) and a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q), and an organic peroxide (P). Containing.
 無機フィラー(C)及び加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)との混合は、加熱又は非加熱で加え混合する処理(乾式)や、水等の溶媒に無機フィラー(C)を分散させた状態で加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)を加える処理(湿式)等の方法がある。本発明においては、無機フィラー(C)、好ましくは乾燥させた無機フィラー(C)中に加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)を、加熱又は非加熱で加え混合する処理、すなわち乾式処理が好ましい。 Mixing with the inorganic filler (C) and the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is a state of adding and mixing with heating or non-heating (dry type), or a state in which the inorganic filler (C) is dispersed in a solvent such as water. There is a method of adding a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) (wet). In the present invention, a treatment in which the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is added to the inorganic filler (C), preferably the dried inorganic filler (C), with heating or non-heating, that is, dry processing is preferable. .
 無機フィラー(C)を分散させた状態で加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)を加える方法(湿式混合)では、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)が無機フィラー(C)と強く結合しやすく、その後の架橋反応が進みにくくなることがある。一方で、無機フィラー(C)中に加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)を、加熱又は非加熱で加え混合する方法(乾式混合)は比較的無機フィラー(C)と加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の結合が弱くなるため、効率的に架橋が進みやすくなる。その際に加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)と有機過酸化物(P)を一緒に混合して、無機フィラー(C)に分散させても良いし、分けて分散させてもよいが、実質的に一緒に混合した方がよい。 In the method of adding the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) with the inorganic filler (C) dispersed (wet mixing), the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is strongly bonded to the inorganic filler (C). The subsequent cross-linking reaction may be difficult to proceed. On the other hand, the method of adding and mixing the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) in the inorganic filler (C) with heating or non-heating (dry mixing) is a relatively inorganic filler (C) and hydrolyzable silane coupling. Since the bond of the agent (q) becomes weak, the crosslinking easily proceeds efficiently. At that time, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) and the organic peroxide (P) may be mixed together and dispersed in the inorganic filler (C), or separately. It is better to mix together substantially.
 無機フィラー(C)に加える加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)は、無機フィラー(C)の表面を取り囲むように存在し、その一部又は全部は無機フィラー(C)に吸着されたり、無機フィラー(C)表面とゆるやかな化学的な結合を生じたりする。このような状態になることにより、その後のニーダーやバンバリーミキサー等で混練り加工する際の加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の揮発は大幅に低減するとともに、同時に加える有機過酸化物(P)によって加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の不飽和基はポリオレフィン系樹脂と結合反応すると考えられる。また、成形の際にシラノール縮合触媒(e1)によって加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)同士が縮合反応すると考えられる。 The hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) to be added to the inorganic filler (C) exists so as to surround the surface of the inorganic filler (C), and part or all of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is adsorbed on the inorganic filler (C) or inorganic. It may cause a loose chemical bond with the filler (C) surface. In such a state, volatilization of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) during subsequent kneading and processing with a kneader or a Banbury mixer is greatly reduced, and an organic peroxide (P ), The unsaturated group of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is considered to undergo a binding reaction with the polyolefin resin. Further, it is considered that the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) undergoes a condensation reaction with the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) during molding.
 なお、工程(a1)においては、生産条件によっては、加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)のみを無機フィラー(C)に混合し、次いで、有機過酸化物(P)を加えることもできる。有機過酸化物(P)を加える方法としては、樹脂成分(A)に分散させたものでもよいし、単体で加えても、油等に分散させて加えてもよいが、好ましくは樹脂成分(A)に分散させる。 In step (a1), depending on the production conditions, only the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) can be mixed with the inorganic filler (C), and then the organic peroxide (P) can be added. As a method of adding the organic peroxide (P), the organic peroxide (P) may be dispersed in the resin component (A), or may be added alone or dispersed in oil or the like. Disperse in A).
 好適な工程(a1)においては、次いで、調製した混合物と、樹脂成分(A)と、好ましくは臭素系難燃剤(h1)と、所望により難燃助剤及び添加剤とをそれぞれを混合機に加え、それらを加熱しながら溶融混練して、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)を調製する。 In the preferred step (a1), the prepared mixture, the resin component (A), preferably the brominated flame retardant (h1), and, if desired, the flame retardant aids and additives are each added to a mixer. In addition, they are melt-kneaded while heating to prepare a silane masterbatch (Dx).
 工程(a1)において、混練温度は、有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度以上、好ましくは有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度+(25~110)℃である。この分解温度は樹脂成分(A)が溶融してから設定することが好ましい。また、混練時間等の混練条件も適宜設定することができる。有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度未満で混練りすると、シラングラフト反応、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と樹脂成分(A)との結合、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)間の結合が起こらず、所望の耐熱性を得ることができないばかりか、押出中に有機過酸化物(P)が反応してしまい、所望の形状に成形できない場合がある。 In the step (a1), the kneading temperature is not less than the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P), preferably the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P) + (25 to 110) ° C. This decomposition temperature is preferably set after the resin component (A) is melted. Also, kneading conditions such as kneading time can be set as appropriate. When kneaded below the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P), a silane graft reaction, a bond between the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) and the resin component (A), a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler ( The bond between D) does not occur and the desired heat resistance cannot be obtained, and the organic peroxide (P) reacts during the extrusion and may not be molded into a desired shape.
 混練方法としては、ゴム、プラスチック等で通常用いられる方法であれば使用でき、混練装置は例えばシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の量に応じて適宜に選択される。混練装置として、一軸押出機、二軸押出機、ロール、バンバリーミキサー又は各種のニーダー等が用いられ、バンバリーミキサー又は各種のニーダー等の密閉型ミキサーが樹脂成分(A)の分散性及び架橋反応の安定性の面で好ましい。 As the kneading method, any method usually used for rubber, plastic, etc. can be used, and the kneading apparatus is appropriately selected according to the amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), for example. As a kneading apparatus, a single-screw extruder, a twin-screw extruder, a roll, a Banbury mixer, or various kneaders are used. A closed mixer such as a Banbury mixer or various kneaders is used for the dispersibility of the resin component (A) and the crosslinking reaction. It is preferable in terms of stability.
 また、通常、このようなシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)が樹脂組成分(A)100質量部に対して100質量部を超えて混合される場合、連続混練機、加圧式ニーダー、バンバリーミキサーでの混練りが一般的である。 Moreover, normally, when such a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is mixed in excess of 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin component (A), a continuous kneader, a pressure kneader, Kneading with a Banbury mixer is common.
 なお、好適な工程(a1)のように、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)を準備する工程を先立って行うのが好ましいが、上記各成分を上記配合量で混練すると局所的な架橋を抑制できる。したがって、工程(a1)は、準備する工程を溶融混練工程と別工程とすることなく、実施することもできる。すなわち、上述の各成分を一緒に有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度以上で混合して、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)を調製することもできる。 In addition, it is preferable to perform the step of preparing the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) as in the preferred step (a1) in advance, but when the above components are kneaded in the above blending amounts, local crosslinking is performed. Can be suppressed. Therefore, the step (a1) can also be carried out without making the preparation step separate from the melt-kneading step. That is, the silane master batch (Dx) can be prepared by mixing the above-described components together at a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P).
 このようにして工程(a1)を実施して、シランマスターバッチ(シランMBともいう)(Dx)が調製される。 Thus, the step (a1) is performed to prepare a silane master batch (also referred to as silane MB) (Dx).
 工程(a1)で調製されるシランマスターバッチは、有機過酸化物(P)の分解物と、好ましくは臭素系難燃剤(h1)と、樹脂成分(A)及びシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の反応混合物であり、後述の工程(b)により成形可能な程度に加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)が樹脂成分(A)にグラフトしたシラン架橋性樹脂を含有している。 The silane masterbatch prepared in step (a1) is a decomposition product of an organic peroxide (P), preferably a brominated flame retardant (h1), a resin component (A) and a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler. It is a reaction mixture of (D), and contains a silane crosslinkable resin in which a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is grafted to the resin component (A) to such an extent that it can be molded by the step (b) described later.
 本発明の製造方法における工程(a)においては、工程(a1)で樹脂成分(A)の一部を溶融混合する場合には、工程(a2)を行う。工程(a2)は、キャリヤ樹脂(e2)としての樹脂成分(A)の残部とシラノール縮合触媒(e1)とを溶融混合して、触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)を調製する工程である。 In step (a) in the production method of the present invention, when part of the resin component (A) is melt-mixed in step (a1), step (a2) is performed. Step (a2) is a step of preparing a catalyst master batch (Ex) by melting and mixing the remainder of the resin component (A) as the carrier resin (e2) and the silanol condensation catalyst (e1).
 シラノール縮合触媒(e1)の配合量は、工程(a)で用いる樹脂成分(A)100質量部に対して、0.001~0.5質量部であり、好ましくは0.003~0.1質量部である。
 シラノール縮合触媒(e1)の配合量が、0.001質量部未満では加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)の縮合反応による架橋が進みにくくなり、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体の耐熱性が十分に向上せず、生産性が低下したり、架橋が不均一であったりするおそれがある。一方、0.5質量部を超えると、シラノール縮合反応が非常に速く進行し、部分的なゲル化が生じて耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体の外観が低下し、又は、耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体の物性が低下するおそれがある。
The compounding amount of the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) is 0.001 to 0.5 parts by mass, preferably 0.003 to 0.1 parts per 100 parts by mass of the resin component (A) used in the step (a). Part by mass.
When the blending amount of the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) is less than 0.001 part by mass, crosslinking due to the condensation reaction of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) is difficult to proceed, and the heat resistance of the heat-resistant silane crosslinked resin molded article is sufficient. However, the productivity may be reduced, and the crosslinking may be uneven. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.5 parts by mass, the silanol condensation reaction proceeds very rapidly, resulting in partial gelation and the appearance of the heat-resistant silane crosslinked resin molded product being reduced, or heat-resistant silane crosslinked resin molding Physical properties of the body may be reduced.
 キャリヤ樹脂(e2)の配合量は、工程(a)における樹脂成分(A)100質量部に対して、好ましくは1~60質量部、より好ましくは2~50質量部、さらに好ましくは2~40質量部である。
 キャリヤ樹脂(e2)は、上述の配合量を満たす範囲内で、樹脂成分(A)の一部を用いるのが好ましい。この場合、工程(a1)で用いる樹脂成分(A)と工程(a2)で用いるキャリヤ樹脂(e2)との合計が100質量部となるように、樹脂成分(A)とキャリヤ樹脂(e2)との使用量を適宜に設定する。具体的には、キャリヤ樹脂(e2)は、樹脂成分(A)との合計100質量部のうち5~40質量部であるのがよく、10~30質量部であるのが特によい。この場合、工程(a1)で使用される樹脂成分(A)は60~95質量部になり、樹脂成分(A)とキャリヤ樹脂(e2)との合計量が各成分の配合量の基準になる。
The blending amount of the carrier resin (e2) is preferably 1 to 60 parts by mass, more preferably 2 to 50 parts by mass, and further preferably 2 to 40 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin component (A) in the step (a). Part by mass.
As the carrier resin (e2), it is preferable to use a part of the resin component (A) within the range satisfying the above-mentioned blending amount. In this case, the resin component (A) and the carrier resin (e2) are added so that the total of the resin component (A) used in the step (a1) and the carrier resin (e2) used in the step (a2) is 100 parts by mass. The usage amount of is appropriately set. Specifically, the carrier resin (e2) is preferably 5 to 40 parts by mass, particularly preferably 10 to 30 parts by mass, out of a total of 100 parts by mass with the resin component (A). In this case, the resin component (A) used in the step (a1) is 60 to 95 parts by mass, and the total amount of the resin component (A) and the carrier resin (e2) is a reference for the blending amount of each component. .
 触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)は、シラノール縮合触媒(e1)及びキャリヤ樹脂(e2)に加えて他の成分を含有していてもよい。例えば、無機フィラーを含有していてもよい。無機フィラーの含有量は、特には限定しないが、キャリヤ樹脂(e2)100質量部に対して350質量部以下が好ましい。あまり無機フィラー量が多いとシラノール縮合触媒(e1)が分散しにくく、架橋が進行しにくくなるためである。また、キャリヤ樹脂(e2)が多すぎると、成形体の架橋度が低下してしまい、適正な耐熱性が得られなくなるおそれがある。
 なお、工程(a1)において樹脂成分(A)の全部を使用する場合に、キャリヤ樹脂(e2)として樹脂成分(A)以外の他の樹脂を用いることができる。この場合は、他の樹脂とシラノール縮合触媒(e1)とを溶融混合する工程を行うのが好ましい。
The catalyst master batch (Ex) may contain other components in addition to the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) and the carrier resin (e2). For example, you may contain the inorganic filler. Although content of an inorganic filler is not specifically limited, 350 mass parts or less are preferable with respect to 100 mass parts of carrier resin (e2). This is because if the amount of the inorganic filler is too large, the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) is difficult to disperse and the crosslinking is difficult to proceed. Moreover, when there is too much carrier resin (e2), there exists a possibility that the crosslinking degree of a molded object may fall and appropriate heat resistance may not be acquired.
When all of the resin component (A) is used in the step (a1), a resin other than the resin component (A) can be used as the carrier resin (e2). In this case, it is preferable to perform a step of melt-mixing the other resin and the silanol condensation catalyst (e1).
 シラノール縮合触媒(e1)及びキャリヤ樹脂(e2)との溶融混合条件は、キャリヤ樹脂(e2)の溶融温度に応じて適宜に設定される。例えば、混練温度は、80~250℃、より好ましくは100~240℃で行うことができる。なお、混練時間等の混練条件は適宜設定することができる。混練方法は、上記工程(a1)の混練方法と同様の方法で行うことができる。 The melt mixing conditions with the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) and the carrier resin (e2) are appropriately set according to the melting temperature of the carrier resin (e2). For example, the kneading temperature can be 80 to 250 ° C., more preferably 100 to 240 ° C. The kneading conditions such as kneading time can be set as appropriate. The kneading method can be performed by the same method as the kneading method in the step (a1).
 このようにして得られる触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)(触媒MBともいう)は、シラノール縮合触媒(e1)及びキャリヤ樹脂(e2)、所望により添加されるフィラーの混合物である。 The catalyst master batch (Ex) (also referred to as catalyst MB) thus obtained is a mixture of a silanol condensation catalyst (e1), a carrier resin (e2), and a filler that is added as desired.
 本発明の製造方法における工程(a)においては、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)とシラノール縮合触媒(e1)又は触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)とを溶融混合する工程(a3)を行う。
 工程(a3)において、工程(a2)で調製した触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)を用い、工程(a2)を行わない場合はシラノール縮合触媒(e1)を用いる。
In the process (a) in the manufacturing method of this invention, the process (a3) which melt-mixes a silane masterbatch (Dx), a silanol condensation catalyst (e1), or a catalyst masterbatch (Ex) is performed.
In the step (a3), the catalyst master batch (Ex) prepared in the step (a2) is used, and when the step (a2) is not performed, the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) is used.
 工程(a3)においては、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)と触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)等とを加熱しながら溶融混練する。この溶融混練は、DSC等で融点が測定できない樹脂成分(A)、例えばエラストマーもあるが、少なくとも樹脂成分(A)及び有機過酸化物(P)のいずれかが溶融する温度で混練する。キャリヤ樹脂(e2)はシラノール縮合触媒(e2)を分散させるために溶融させるのが好ましい。なお、混練時間等の混練条件は適宜設定することができる。溶融混練方法は工程(a1)の混練方法と同様の方法で行うことができる。 In step (a3), the silane master batch (Dx), the catalyst master batch (Ex), and the like are melt-kneaded while heating. In this melt-kneading, there is a resin component (A) whose melting point cannot be measured by DSC or the like, for example, an elastomer, but kneading is performed at a temperature at which at least one of the resin component (A) and the organic peroxide (P) is melted. The carrier resin (e2) is preferably melted to disperse the silanol condensation catalyst (e2). The kneading conditions such as kneading time can be set as appropriate. The melt-kneading method can be performed by the same method as the kneading method in the step (a1).
 このようにして、少なくとも2種の架橋方法の異なるシラン架橋性樹脂を含有する耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)が調製される。この耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)は、工程(a)によって調製される組成物であって、樹脂成分(A)、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)、好ましくは臭素系難燃剤(h1)を原料成分として含む、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)とシラノール縮合触媒(e1)又は触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)との混和物と考えられる。 Thus, a heat-resistant silane crosslinkable resin composition (F) containing at least two different silane crosslinkable resins with different crosslinking methods is prepared. This heat-resistant silane crosslinkable resin composition (F) is a composition prepared by the step (a), and is a resin component (A), a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), preferably bromine It is considered as a mixture of the silane masterbatch (Dx) and the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) or the catalyst masterbatch (Ex) containing the flame retardant (h1) as a raw material component.
 本発明の製造方法においては、次いで、耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)を成形する工程(b)を行い、成形物を得る。成形方法は、耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)を成形できればよく、本発明の耐熱性製品の形態に応じて、適宜に成形方法及び成形条件が選択される。例えば、本発明の耐熱性製品が電線又は光ファイバケーブルである場合には、押出成形等が選択される。 In the production method of the present invention, the step (b) of molding the heat-resistant silane crosslinkable resin composition (F) is then performed to obtain a molded product. The molding method only needs to mold the heat-resistant silane crosslinkable resin composition (F), and the molding method and molding conditions are appropriately selected according to the form of the heat-resistant product of the present invention. For example, when the heat-resistant product of the present invention is an electric wire or an optical fiber cable, extrusion molding or the like is selected.
 この工程(b)は、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)及び触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)等の混合と同時に又は連続して行うことができる。例えば、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)と触媒マスターバッチ(Ex)とを被覆装置内で溶融混練(工程(a))し、次いで例えば押出し電線やファイバに被覆して所望の形状に成形(工程(b))する一連の工程を採用できる。 This step (b) can be performed simultaneously or continuously with the mixing of the silane masterbatch (Dx) and the catalyst masterbatch (Ex). For example, a silane masterbatch (Dx) and a catalyst masterbatch (Ex) are melt-kneaded in a coating apparatus (step (a)), and then covered with, for example, an extruded wire or fiber and formed into a desired shape (step (b) )) Can be adopted.
 このようにして、未架橋の耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)の成形物が得られる。 In this way, a molded product of an uncrosslinked heat-resistant silane crosslinkable resin composition (F) is obtained.
 本発明の製造方法においては、次いで、工程(b)で得られた成形物(未架橋体)を水と接触させて架橋させる工程(c)を行う。この工程(c)においては、成形物を水と接触させることにより、加水分解性シランカップリング剤の加水分解性の基を加水分解してシラノールとし、樹脂中に存在するシラノール縮合触媒(e2)により、シラノールの水酸基同士が縮合して架橋反応が起こり、耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)が架橋した耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体を得る。この工程(c)の処理自体は通常の方法によって行うことができる。成形物に水分を接触させることで、加水分解性シランカップリング剤の加水分解しうる基が加水分解し、加水分解性シランカップリング剤同士が縮合し、架橋構造を形成する。 In the production method of the present invention, the step (c) is then performed in which the molded product (uncrosslinked product) obtained in the step (b) is brought into contact with water to be crosslinked. In this step (c), the hydrolyzable group of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent is hydrolyzed into silanol by bringing the molded product into contact with water, and the silanol condensation catalyst (e2) present in the resin. As a result, the hydroxyl groups of silanol are condensed to each other to cause a crosslinking reaction, thereby obtaining a heat-resistant silane-crosslinked resin molded body in which the heat-resistant silane-crosslinkable resin composition (F) is crosslinked. The process itself of this process (c) can be performed by a normal method. By bringing moisture into contact with the molded product, the hydrolyzable group of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent is hydrolyzed, and the hydrolyzable silane coupling agents are condensed to form a crosslinked structure.
 加水分解性シランカップリング剤同士の縮合は、常温で保管するだけで進行するが、架橋をさらに加速させるために、水分と接触させる際に、温水への浸水、湿熱槽への投入、高温の水蒸気への暴露等が挙げられる。また、その際に水分を内部に浸透させるために圧力をかけてもよい。 Condensation between hydrolyzable silane coupling agents proceeds only by storage at room temperature, but in order to further accelerate the cross-linking, when contacting with moisture, water is immersed in warm water, put into a wet heat tank, For example, exposure to water vapor. In this case, pressure may be applied to allow moisture to penetrate inside.
 このようにして、本発明の製造方法が実施され、耐熱性シラン架橋性樹脂組成物(F)から耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体が製造される。したがって、この発明の耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体は、工程(a)、所望により工程(b)及び工程(c)を行うことによって得られる成形体である。 Thus, the production method of the present invention is carried out, and a heat-resistant silane cross-linked resin molded product is produced from the heat-resistant silane cross-linkable resin composition (F). Therefore, the heat-resistant silane cross-linked resin molded product of the present invention is a molded product obtained by performing the step (a) and, if desired, the step (b) and the step (c).
 本発明の製造方法について、反応機構の詳細についてはまだ定かではないが、以下のように考えられる。
 すなわち、樹脂成分(A)は、有機過酸化物(P)成分の存在下、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と共に、有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度以上で加熱混練されると、有機過酸化物(P)の分解により発生したラジカルによって、加水分解性シランカップリング剤でグラフト化される。これにより、樹脂成分(A)同士が結合(架橋)し、また樹脂成分(A)とシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)とが結合する。
The details of the reaction mechanism of the production method of the present invention are not yet clear, but are considered as follows.
That is, the resin component (A) is heated and kneaded at a temperature equal to or higher than the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P) together with the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) in the presence of the organic peroxide (P) component. And grafted with a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent by radicals generated by the decomposition of the organic peroxide (P). Thereby, resin component (A) couple | bonds together (bridge | crosslinking), and a resin component (A) and a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) couple | bond together.
 また、これら反応が生じる理由はまだ定かではないが次のように推定される。 Also, the reason why these reactions occur is not clear yet, but is estimated as follows.
 すなわち、樹脂成分(A)と混練り前及び/又は混練り時に、加水分解性シランカップリング剤を、その揮発を抑える程度に、無機フィラーに結合させたシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)を用いることにより、混練り時の加水分解性シランカップリング剤の揮発を抑えると共に、無機フィラーに対して強い結合で結びつく加水分解性シランカップリング剤と弱い結合で結びつく加水分解性シランカップリング剤を形成出来る。
 このようなシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)を有機過酸化物(P)の存在下で樹脂成分(A)と共に有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度以上で混練りを行うと、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の加水分解性シランカップリング剤のうち無機フィラー(C)と強い結合を有する加水分解性シランカップリング剤は、その架橋基であるエチレン性不飽和基等が樹脂成分(A)の架橋部位とグラフト反応、特に、1つの無機フィラー(C)粒子の表面に複数の加水分解性シランカップリング剤が強い結合を介して存在した場合、この無機フィラー(C)粒子を介して樹脂成分(A)のポリマー分子が複数結合することになり、この無機フィラーでの架橋ネットワークが広がると考える。
That is, a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) in which a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent is bonded to an inorganic filler to such an extent that volatilization is suppressed before and / or during kneading with the resin component (A). ) Suppresses volatilization of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent during kneading, and hydrolyzable silane coupling that binds to the inorganic filler with a strong bond and a weak bond. An agent can be formed.
When such a silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is kneaded with the resin component (A) in the presence of the organic peroxide (P) above the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P), Among hydrolyzable silane coupling agents of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent having a strong bond with the inorganic filler (C) is an ethylenically unsaturated group which is a cross-linking group. When a plurality of hydrolyzable silane coupling agents are present on the surface of one inorganic filler (C) particle through a strong bond, such as the crosslinking site of the resin component (A) and the graft reaction, C) It is considered that a plurality of polymer molecules of the resin component (A) are bonded through the particles, and a crosslinked network with the inorganic filler is expanded.
 一方、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の加水分解性シランカップリング剤のうち無機フィラー(C)と弱い結合を有する加水分解性シランカップリング剤は、無機フィラー(C)の表面から離脱して、加水分解性シランカップリング剤の架橋基であるエチレン性不飽和基等が、樹脂成分(A)の有機過酸化物(P)の分解で生じたラジカルによる水素ラジカル引き抜きで生じた樹脂ラジカルと反応してグラフト反応が起こる。このようにして生じたグラフト部分の加水分解性シランカップリング剤は、その後シラノール縮合触媒と混合され、水分と接触することにより、縮合反応により架橋反応が生じると考える。 On the other hand, among the hydrolyzable silane coupling agents of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D), the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent having a weak bond with the inorganic filler (C) is from the surface of the inorganic filler (C). The ethylenically unsaturated group, which is a crosslinkable group of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent, was released by hydrogen radical abstraction by radicals generated by decomposition of the organic peroxide (P) of the resin component (A). A graft reaction occurs by reacting with a resin radical. It is considered that the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent in the graft portion thus produced is then mixed with a silanol condensation catalyst and brought into contact with moisture to cause a crosslinking reaction by a condensation reaction.
 なお、上記の無機フィラーと強い結合を有する加水分解性シランカップリング剤の場合は、このシラノール縮合触媒による水存在下での縮合反応で、無機フィラーの表面の水酸基を共有結合による化学結合した加水分解性シランカップリング剤同士も縮合反応して、さらに架橋のネットワークが広がる。 In the case of a hydrolyzable silane coupling agent having a strong bond with the above-mentioned inorganic filler, a hydrolysis reaction in which a hydroxyl group on the surface of the inorganic filler is chemically bonded by a covalent bond by a condensation reaction in the presence of water by this silanol condensation catalyst. Decomposable silane coupling agents also undergo a condensation reaction to further expand the cross-linking network.
 特に、本発明では、この工程(c)における、水存在下でのシラノール縮合触媒を使用した縮合による架橋反応を、成形体を形成した後に、行うことにより、従来の最終架橋反応後に成形体を形成する方法と比較して、成形体形成までの工程での作業性に優れるとともに、1つの無機フィラー粒子表面に複数の加水分解性シランカップリング剤を複数結合でき、従来以上に高い耐熱性、例えば、後述する380℃でのハンダ耐熱性を得ることが可能となると共に、高い機械強度、絶縁抵抗及び難燃性を得ることができる。 In particular, in the present invention, in this step (c), the cross-linking reaction by condensation using a silanol condensation catalyst in the presence of water is performed after forming the formed body, whereby the formed body is obtained after the conventional final cross-linking reaction. Compared to the method of forming, it is excellent in workability in the process up to forming the molded body, and can bind a plurality of hydrolyzable silane coupling agents on the surface of one inorganic filler particle, and has higher heat resistance than before, For example, it becomes possible to obtain solder heat resistance at 380 ° C., which will be described later, and to obtain high mechanical strength, insulation resistance and flame retardancy.
 このように無機フィラー(C)に対して強い結合で結合した加水分解性シランカップリング剤は高い機械強度、絶縁抵抗及び難燃性に寄与し、また無機フィラー(C)に対して弱い結合で結合した加水分解性シランカップリング剤は架橋度の向上に寄与する。 Thus, the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent bonded to the inorganic filler (C) with a strong bond contributes to high mechanical strength, insulation resistance and flame retardancy, and has a weak bond to the inorganic filler (C). The bonded hydrolyzable silane coupling agent contributes to the improvement of the degree of crosslinking.
 無機フィラー(C)として、予めシランカップリング剤又は他の表面処理剤で少ししか表面処理していない表面処理無機フィラーを用いると、予め処理されたシランカップリング剤又は後添加の加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)が強く結合したシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)が多く形成され、高い機械特性(例えば機械強度)、絶縁抵抗及び難燃性の成形体を得ることが出来る。一方で、無機フィラー(C)として、予めシランカップリング剤又は他の表面処理剤で多く表面処理された表面処理無機フィラーを用いると、後に添加される加水分解性シランカップリング剤が弱く結合したシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)が多く形成され、機械強度は大きく向上しないものの、柔軟性等の優れた成形体を得ることが出来る。また、加水分解性シランカップリング剤が表面処理無機フィラー又は無機フィラー(C)と弱く結合したシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)が多く形成されると高い架橋度の成形体を得ることが出来、また加水分解性シランカップリング剤が弱く結合したシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の形成量を少なく制御することにより、架橋度は下がり、マテリアルリサイクル可能な材料を得ることが可能となる。 As the inorganic filler (C), when a surface-treated inorganic filler that has been slightly surface-treated with a silane coupling agent or other surface treatment agent in advance is used, a pre-treated silane coupling agent or a post-added hydrolyzable silane A large amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) to which the coupling agent (q) is strongly bonded is formed, and a molded article having high mechanical properties (for example, mechanical strength), insulation resistance and flame retardancy can be obtained. On the other hand, when a surface-treated inorganic filler that has been surface treated in advance with a silane coupling agent or other surface treatment agent is used as the inorganic filler (C), the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent added later is weakly bonded. Although a large amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is formed and the mechanical strength is not greatly improved, a molded article having excellent flexibility and the like can be obtained. Further, when a large amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) in which the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent is weakly bonded to the surface-treated inorganic filler or inorganic filler (C), a molded article having a high degree of crosslinking is obtained. In addition, by controlling the formation amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) to which the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent is weakly bonded, the degree of cross-linking is lowered and a material that can be recycled can be obtained. It becomes possible.
 このような作用を奏するシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と臭素系難燃剤(h1)とを併用すると、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)の使用量を低減させても難燃性に優れる。このように難燃性に優れる理由はまだ定かではないが次のように考えられる。すなわち、臭素系難燃剤(h1)は電気陰性度の高い臭素を多量に含んでおり極性が高い。そのため樹脂成分(A)とシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)との間の強固なネットワークに更に加水分解性シランカップリング剤(q)を介して臭素系難燃剤(h1)も取り込まれることにより、相互作用が高まり難燃性が向上したものと考えられる。 When the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) and the brominated flame retardant (h1) exhibiting such actions are used in combination, it is difficult to reduce the amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) used. Excellent flammability. The reason why such flame retardancy is excellent is not yet clear, but is considered as follows. That is, the brominated flame retardant (h1) contains a large amount of bromine having a high electronegativity and has a high polarity. Therefore, the brominated flame retardant (h1) is further incorporated into the strong network between the resin component (A) and the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) via the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q). Therefore, it is considered that the interaction is increased and the flame retardancy is improved.

The mixture was put into a 2 L Banbury mixer, kneaded in the mixer for about 12 minutes, and then discharged at a material discharge temperature of 180 to 190 ° C. to obtain a silane master batch (D1) (step (a1)). Prior to discharge, the mixture was kneaded at a temperature not lower than the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P), specifically 180 to 190 ° C. for 5 minutes.
For reference, the blending amount (part by mass) of the hydrolyzable silane coupling agent (q) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the inorganic filler (C) at this time is shown in the “Silane MB (D1)” column of Table 1. Indicated.
 一方、表1の「触媒MB(E1)」欄に示す、キャリヤ樹脂(e2)、シラノール縮合触媒(e1)及び老化防止剤をバンバリーミキサーで120~160℃で別途混合し、材料排出温度120~180℃で溶融混合して、触媒マスターバッチ(E1)を得た(工程(a2))。 On the other hand, the carrier resin (e2), the silanol condensation catalyst (e1) and the anti-aging agent shown in the “Catalyst MB (E1)” column of Table 1 are separately mixed with a Banbury mixer at 120 to 160 ° C., and a material discharge temperature of 120 to The mixture was melted and mixed at 180 ° C. to obtain a catalyst master batch (E1) (step (a2)).

 このように、本発明により、ヘンシェルミキサーやバンバリーミキサーで溶融混合しても加水分解性シランカップリング剤の揮発を抑えることができ、優れた、機械特性、絶縁抵抗及び難燃性を有する耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体を製造できることが分かった。
As shown in Tables 1 to 3, all of the insulated wires of Examples 1 to 20 produced by the production method of the present invention were tensile strength, elongation at break, insulation resistance, horizontal flame test and extrusion appearance. In addition, both the solder heat resistance test passed. That is, all of the insulated wires of Examples 1 to 20 were excellent in mechanical properties, insulation resistance, flame retardancy and appearance, and heat resistance.

It turned out that a silane crosslinked resin molding can be manufactured.
 これに対して、表4に示されるように、樹脂成分(A)としてLLDPE(ii)のみを用いた比較例1では引張強度が不合格であった。また、樹脂成分(A)としてEVA1(i)のみを用いた比較例2では破断時伸びと絶縁抵抗が不合格であった。 In contrast, as shown in Table 4, in Comparative Example 1 using only LLDPE (ii) as the resin component (A), the tensile strength was unacceptable. Moreover, in Comparative Example 2 using only EVA1 (i) as the resin component (A), the elongation at break and the insulation resistance were unacceptable.
 一方、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)及び有機過酸化物(P)を用いず、シラングラフトポリエチレンを用いた比較例3~6(シラン架橋2)は、いずれも、絶縁抵抗とハンダ耐熱性に劣っていた。
 また、表面処理無機フィラー(B)の配合量を減らし、三酸化アンチモン(h3)の配合量を増やした比較例3は、高価な三酸化アンチモン(h3)を多量に配合するために材料価格が高くなってしまう。
 表面処理無機フィラー(B)の配合量を増やし、三酸化アンチモン(h3)の配合量を減らした比較例4及び5は、共に、材料価格は下がるものの、絶縁抵抗及びハンダ耐熱性に加えて、引張強さにも劣った。

Moreover, the comparative example 3 which reduced the compounding quantity of the surface treatment inorganic filler (B) and increased the compounding quantity of antimony trioxide (h3) has a material price in order to mix | blend expensive antimony trioxide (h3) in large quantities. It will be high.
In Comparative Examples 4 and 5, in which the blending amount of the surface-treated inorganic filler (B) was increased and the blending amount of antimony trioxide (h3) was decreased, in addition to the insulation resistance and the solder heat resistance, although the material price decreased. Also inferior in tensile strength.

 以上より、本発明によるシラン架橋方式を用いて、特定の樹脂成分(A)を架橋し、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)と臭素系難燃剤(h1)を適量配合することにより、シラングラフトポリエチレンを用いたシラン架橋方式「シラン架橋2(比較例3~6)」に比べて、引張強さ、伸び及び絶縁抵抗、さらには耐熱性、がより優れた耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体を得ることができる。
 また、本発明のシラン架橋方式「シラン架橋1」を用いることにより、電子線架橋(参考例)に匹敵し、又はこれを凌駕する難燃性等に、より優れた耐熱性シラン架橋樹脂成形体を得ることが出来る。
 更に実施例1~9、11~20のように、樹脂成分(A)全体に対してポリオレフィン共重合体(i)を10~50質量%、エチレン-α-オレフィン共重合体(ii)を20~80質量%配合すると、3000MΩ・km以上の絶縁抵抗値を示し、絶縁抵抗が更に良好となり好ましい。
 加えて、実施例1~6、11~20のように、三酸化アンチモン(h3)を5質量部以上配合すると水平難燃試験及びVW-1試験のいずれも全数合格し、さらに優れた難燃性を発揮し、好ましい。
 また、実施例1~5及び11~20のように、樹脂成分(A)全体に対してポリプロピレン(iii)を0.2~15質量%以上配合すると、電線外観が良好となり好ましい。
 さらに、実施例16~20に示されるように、工程(a)において、予めシランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)を準備する工程を省略し、各成分をミキサー内で混合するときに、シランカップリング剤(q)を無機フィラー(C)に吸着させることで、シランカップリング剤予備混合無機フィラー(D)を調製し、その後、有機過酸化物(P)の分解温度以上で上記各成分を混合して、シランマスターバッチ(Dx)を調製することもできる。
From the above, by using the silane crosslinking method according to the present invention, the specific resin component (A) is crosslinked, and by blending an appropriate amount of the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) and the brominated flame retardant (h1), A heat-resistant silane-crosslinked resin molded article having superior tensile strength, elongation, insulation resistance, and heat resistance compared to the silane-crosslinking method “silane-crosslinked 2 (Comparative Examples 3 to 6)” using silane-grafted polyethylene.

When blended in an amount of ˜80% by mass, an insulation resistance value of 3000 MΩ · km or more is exhibited, and the insulation resistance is further improved, which is preferable.
In addition, as in Examples 1 to 6 and 11 to 20, when 5 parts by mass or more of antimony trioxide (h3) is blended, both the horizontal flame retardant test and the VW-1 test pass all, and further excellent flame retardant It is preferable because it exhibits its properties.
Further, as in Examples 1 to 5 and 11 to 20, it is preferable to add 0.2 to 15% by mass or more of polypropylene (iii) with respect to the entire resin component (A) because the appearance of the electric wire is good.
Further, as shown in Examples 16 to 20, in the step (a), the step of preparing the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) in advance is omitted, and when the respective components are mixed in the mixer, By adsorbing the silane coupling agent (q) to the inorganic filler (C), the silane coupling agent premixed inorganic filler (D) is prepared, and then each of the above-described temperatures above the decomposition temperature of the organic peroxide (P).
