Abstract

A composition for manufacturing insulation materials of an electrical wire having a multilayer structure, which is used for manufacturing a first insulation coating layer made of a composition including a predetermined base resin, an antioxidant and a co-crosslinking agent so as to surround a conductor or a conductor bundle for an electrical wire; a second insulation coating layer made of a composition including a base resin polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a predetermined antioxidant and a co-crosslinking agent so as to surround the first insulation coating layer, and an electrical wire manufactured using the same.

Claims (27)

A composition for manufacturing insulation materials of an electrical wire having a multilayer structure, which is used for manufacturing a first insulation coating layer made of a composition including a base resin, an antioxidant and a co-crosslinking agent so as to surround a conductor or a conductor bundle for an electrical wire; a second insulation coating layer made of a composition including a base resin polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), an antioxidant and a co-crosslinking agent so as to surround the first insulation coating layer,

wherein the base resin in the composition for manufacturing the first insulation coating layer is at least one mixed resin selected from the group consisting of:

(a1) a mixed resin in which 2 to 20% by weight of an ethylene-based copolymer resin is blended with 80 to 98% by weight of polyethylene;

(a2) a mixed resin in which 2 to 20% by weight of a modified ethylene-based copolymer resin is blended with 80 to 98% by weight of polyethylene;

(a3) a mixed resin in which 5 to 30% by weight of modified polyethylene is blended with 70 to 95% by weight of polyethylene;

(a4) a mixed resin in which 2 to 30% by weight of a modified ethylene copolymer resin is blended with 50 to 80% by weight of polyethylene and 2 to 20% by weight of an ethylene copolymer resin; and

(a5) a mixed resin in which 5 to 40% by weight of modified polyethylene is blended with 60 to 95% by weight of an ethylene copolymer resin.

2. The composition for manufacturing insulation materials of an electrical wire according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polyethylene blended in the mixed resins (a1), (a2), (a3) and (a4) selected as the base resin in the composition for manufacturing the first insulation coating layer is at least one material selected from the group consisting of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and an ethylene octene copolymer resin, and has a specific gravity of 0.922 to 0.945 g/cm 3 and a melt index (MI) of 0.1 to 2.5 g/10 min.

3. The composition for manufacturing insulation materials of an electrical wire according to claim 1 ,

wherein the ethylene copolymer resin blended in the mixed resins (a1), (a4) and (a5) selected as the base resin in the composition for manufacturing the first insulation coating layer is at least one material selected from the group consisting of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA), ethylene ethyl acrylate (EEA) and ethylene butyl acrylate (EBA), wherein the ethylene vinyl acetate has an introduced vinyl acetate content of 0.1 to 50% by weight; the ethylene methyl acrylate has an introduced methyl acrylate content of 0.1 to 33% by weight; the ethylene ethyl acrylate has an introduced ethyl acrylate content of 0.1 to 28% by weight; and the ethylene butyl acrylate has an introduced butyl acrylate content of 0.1 to 33% by weight.

4. The composition for manufacturing insulation materials of an electrical wire according to claim 1 ,
