Abstract

A polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition contains, relative to (A) 100 parts by wt of polybutylene naphthalate resin, (B) 40-150 parts by wt of polyester block copolymer, (C) 0.5-5 parts by wt of hydrolysis retarder, and (D) 0.5-5 parts by wt of inorganic multiporous filler.

Claims (25)

1. A polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition, comprising:

relative to (A) 100 parts by wt of polybutylene naphthalate resin,

(B) 40-150 parts by wt of polyester block copolymer;

(C) 0.5-5 parts by wt of hydrolysis retarder; and

(D) 0.5-5 parts by wt of inorganic multiporous filler, wherein the inorganic multiporous filler comprises a calcined clay.

2. The polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester block copolymer comprises 20-70 mass % of hard segment containing not less than 60 mol % of polybutylene terephthalate, and 80-30 mass % of soft segment formed of a polyester containing 99-90 mol % of aromatic dicarboxylic acid, 1-10 mol % of carbon number 6-12 straight chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and a carbon number 6-12 straight chain diol, and

the melting point (T) of the polyester block copolymer is in the following range:

TO− 5 >T>TO −60,

where TO is the melting point of a polymer comprising components constituting the hard segment.

3. The polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein

the hydrolysis retarder is an additive comprising a carbodiimide skeleton.

4. An electric cable using a polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition, comprising:

the polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition used as an insulating material, the polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition comprising:

relative to (A) 100 parts by wt of polybutylene naphthalate resin,

(B) 40-150 parts by wt of polyester block copolymer;

(C) 0.5-5 parts by wt of hydrolysis retarder; and

(D) 0.5-5 parts by wt of inorganic multiporous filler, wherein the inorganic multiporous filler comprises a calcined clay.

5. The electric cable according to claim 4 , wherein

the polyester block copolymer comprises 20-70 mass % of hard segment containing not less than 60 mol % of polybutylene terephthalate, and 80-30 mass % of soft segment formed of a polyester containing 99-90 mol % of aromatic dicarboxylic acid, 1-10 mol % of carbon number 6-12 straight chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, and a carbon number 6-12 straight chain diol, and the melting point (T) of the polyester block copolymer is in the following range:

TO− 5 >T>TO −60,

where TO is the melting point of a polymer comprising components constituting the hard segment.

6. The electric cable according to claim 4 , wherein

the hydrolysis retarder is an additive comprising a carbodiimide skeleton.

7. The electric cable according to claim 4 , wherein

the insulating material formed of the polybutylene naphthalate-based resin composition is 0.1-0.5 mm thick.
