Abstract

A radiation resistant composition includes 100 parts by weight of a polymer, 5 to 80 parts by weight of an aromatic series process oil that a polycyclic aromatic (PCA) extract by an IP 346 method (DMSO extraction) is not more than 3% and an aromatic compound content is not less than 20% by a Kurtz analysis, and a radiation resistance imparting agent. The polymer is cross-linked or vulcanized. A wire or a cable includes an insulation and/or a sheath material including the radiation resistant composition.

Claims (30)

1. A radiation resistant composition, comprising:

100 parts by weight of a polymer;

5 to 80 parts by weight of an aromatic series process oil that a polycyclic aromatic (PCA) extract by an IP 346 method (DMSO extraction) is not more than 3% and an aromatic compound content is not less than 20% by a Kurtz analysis; and

a radiation resistance imparting agent, wherein the polymer comprises a first component polymer that comprises at least one cross-linked rubber and a second component polymer that comprises at least one non-cross-linked rubber.

2. The radiation resistant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic series process oil comprises TDAE (treated distillate aromatics extracts) having an aniline point of not more than 90° C.

3. The radiation resistant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer comprises not less than 50 parts by weight to less than 100 parts by weight of the first component polymer, and not more than 50 and more than 0 parts by weight of the second component polymer.

4. The radiation resistant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation resistance imparting agent comprises 2 to 30 parts by weight of an antioxidant.

5. A radiation resistant composition, comprising:

100 parts by weight of a polymer;

5 to 80 parts by weight of an aromatic series process oil that a polycyclic aromatic (PCA) extract by an IP 346 method (DMSO extraction) is not more than 3% and an aromatic compound content is not less than 20% by a Kurtz analysis; and

a radiation resistance imparting agent,

wherein the polymer is cross-linked or vulcanized,

wherein the polymer comprises 5 to 100 parts by weight of a first component polymer, and 50 to 0 parts by weight of a second component polymer, the first component polymer being cross-linked and the second component polymer being non-cross-linked,

wherein the first component polymer comprises at least one of ethylene propylene rubber, polychloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene and nitrile rubber, and

wherein the second component polymer comprises at least one of ethylene propylene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene and chlorinated polyethylene.

6. A radiation resistant composition, comprising:

100 parts by weight of a polymer;

5 to 80 parts by weight of an aromatic series process oil that a polycyclic aromatic (PCA) extract by an IP 346 method (DMSO extraction) is not more than 3% and an aromatic compound content is not less than 20% by a Kurtz analysis; and

a radiation resistance imparting agent,

wherein the polymer is cross-linked or vulcanized,

wherein the radiation resistance imparting agent comprises 2 to 30 parts by weight of an antioxidant,

wherein a first component polymer comprises at least one of ethylene propylene rubber, polychloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene and nitrile rubber, and

wherein a second component polymer comprises at least one of ethylene propylene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene and chlorinated polyethylene.

7. A wire, comprising:

an insulation and/or a sheath material comprising the radiation resistant composition according to claim 1 .

8. A cable, comprising:

an insulation and/or a sheath material comprising the radiation resistant composition according to claim 1 .

9. The radiation resistant composition according to claim 2 , wherein the polymer comprises not less than 50 and less than 100 parts by weight of the first component polymer, and not more than 50 and more than 0 parts by weight of the second component polymer.

10. The radiation resistant composition according to claim 3 , wherein the polymer comprises not more than 70 parts by weight of the first component polymer.

11. The radiation resistant composition according to claim 10 , wherein the polymer comprises not less than 30 parts by weight of the second component polymer.
