Abstract

The present invention provides a non-halogen resin composition, an insulated electrical wire formed of the non-halogen resin composition, and a wire harness including the insulated electrical wire. The non-halogen resin composition, comprising: (A) 100 parts by weight of a base resin, containing 50 to 75 weight percent of a polypropylene, 20 to 40 weight percent of a propylene-alpha olefin copolymer, and 5 to 10 weight percent of a low density polyethylene; (B) 50 to 100 parts by weight of a metal hydroxide; (C) 3 to 5 parts by weight of a phenolic anti-oxidant; and (D) 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of a hydrazine-containing metal capture agent. The non-halogen resin composition exhibits excellent mechanical properties such as abrasion resistance, flame retardant property, flexibility, and long-term heat resistance, even if it contains inorganic flame retardant therein.

Claims (18)

1. An insulated electrical wire, comprising:

a conductor, and

an insulating layer disposed over a circumference of the conductor and formed of the non-halogen resin composition comprising:

(A) 100 parts by weight of a base resin, containing 50 to 75 weight percent of a polypropylene, 20 to 40 weight percent of a propylene-alpha olefin copolymer, and 5 to 10 weight percent of a low density polyethylene;

(B) 50 to 100 parts by weight of a metal hydroxide;

(C) 3 to 5 parts by weight of a phenolic anti-oxidant; and

(D) 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of a hydrazine-containing metal capture agent.

2. A wire harness comprising a plurality of insulated electrical wires, the insulated electrical wires being bounded together and including at least one insulated electrical wire according to claim 1 .

3. An insulated electrical wire, comprising:

a conductor, and

an insulating layer disposed over a circumference of the conductor and formed of the non-halogen resin composition comprising:

(A) 100 parts by weight of a base resin, containing 50 to 75 weight percent of a polypropylene, 20 to 40 weight percent of a propylene-alpha olefin copolymer, and 5 to 10 weight percent of a low density polyethylene;

(B) 50 to 100 parts by weight of a metal hydroxide;

(C) 3 to 5 parts by weight of a phenolic anti-oxidant;

(D) 0.1 to 1.0 part by weight of a salicylic acid-containing metal capture agent;

(E) 3 to 5 parts by weight of a hydrazine-containing metal capture agent; and

(F) 1 to 10 parts by weight of a metal oxide.

4. A wire harness comprising a plurality of insulated electrical wires, the insulated electrical wires being bounded together and including at least one insulated electrical wire according to claim 3 .
