Abstract

There is provided a insulated electric wire with an electric conductor on which at least a lubricating layer is formed, in which a lubricant is added to the lubricating layer so that granular bodies, with sizes of 5 nm to 3 μm, which are formed by coagulation of the lubricant disperse on a surface of the lubricating layer.

Claims (25)

1. An insulated electric wire with an electric conductor on which at least a lubricating layer is formed, wherein the lubricating layer is formed from resin paint prepared by adding a lubricant, a titanium coupling agent, and a cross-linking agent to a base resin;

the titanium coupling agent has a hydrophilic group and a lipophilic group coupled to a titanium atom; and

the lubricating layer includes coagulation of the lubricant dispersed on a surface of the lubricating layer as granular bodies having sizes of 5 nm to 3 μm.

2. The insulated electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein a friction force of the surface of the lubricating layer is 9 nanonewton (nN) or less when the surface is measured with a scanning probe microscope under a load of 40 nN.

3. The insulated electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the lubricant is formed from polyolefin wax or fatty acid ester wax or by mixing polyolefin wax and fatty acid ester wax, 1 to 12 parts by mass of the lubricant being added to 100 parts by mass of the base resin.

4. The insulated electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the cross-linking agent is formed from a polyisocyanate compound in which an isocyanate group at an end thereof is not stabilized by a masking agent.

5. The insulated electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a mass of the titanium coupling agent to a mass of the cross-linking agent is within a range of 1:200 to 1:10.

6. The insulated electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the base resin of the resin paint is selected from the group consisting of a polyamideimide resin, a polyamide resin, a polyimide resin, a polyester resin, and a polyester imide resin.

7. An insulated electric wire with an electric conductor on which at least a lubricating layer is formed, wherein the lubricating layer is formed from resin paint prepared by adding a lubricant, a titanium coupling agent, and a cross-linking agent to a base resin;

the cross-linking agent is formed from a polyisocyanate compound in which an isocyanate group at an end thereof is not stabilized by a masking agent; and

the lubricating layer includes coagulation of the lubricant dispersed on a surface of the lubricating layer as granular bodies having sizes of 5 nm to 3 μm.

8. The insulated electric wire according to claim 7 , wherein a friction force of the surface of the lubricating layer is 9 nanonewton (nN) or less when the surface is measured with a scanning probe microscope under a load of 40 nN.

9. The insulated electric wire according to claim 7 , wherein the lubricant is formed from polyolefin wax or fatty acid ester wax or by mixing polyolefin wax and fatty acid ester wax, 1 to 12 parts by mass of the lubricant being added to 100 parts by mass of the base resin.

10. The insulated electric wire according to claim 7 , wherein a ratio of a mass of the titanium coupling agent to a mass of the cross-linking agent is within a range of 1:200 to 1:10.

11. The insulated electric wire according to claim 7 , wherein the base resin of the resin paint is selected from the group consisting of a polyamideimide resin, a polyamide resin, a polyimide resin, a polyester resin, and a polyester imide resin.

12. An insulated electric wire comprising:

an electric conductor; and

a lubricating layer disposed over an outer circumference of the electric conductor, the lubricating layer being formed from resin paint including a base resin, a lubricant, a titanium coupling agent, and a cross-linking agent;

wherein the cross-linking agent is formed from a polyisocyanate compound in which an isocyanate group at an end thereof is not stabilized by a masking agent, and

wherein the lubricating layer includes coagulation of the lubricant dispersed on a surface of the lubricating layer as granular bodies having sizes of 5 nm to 3 μm.

13. The insulated electric wire according to claim 12 , wherein the titanium coupling agent has a hydrophilic group and a lipophilic group coupled to a titanium atom.

14. The insulated electric wire according to claim 12 , wherein a friction force of the surface of the lubricating layer is 9 nanonewton (nN) or less when the surface is measured with a scanning probe microscope under a load of 40 nN.

15. The insulated electric wire according to claim 12 , wherein the lubricant is formed from polyolefin wax or fatty acid ester wax or by mixing polyolefin wax and fatty acid ester wax, 1 to 12 parts by mass of the lubricant being added to 100 parts by mass of the base resin.

16. The insulated electric wire according to claim 12 , wherein a ratio of a mass of the titanium coupling agent to a mass of the cross-linking agent is within a range of 1:200 to 1:10.

17. The insulated electric wire according to claim 12 , wherein the base resin of the resin paint is selected from the group consisting of a polyamideimide resin, a polyamide resin, a polyimide resin, a polyester resin, and a polyester imide resin.
