Abstract

The present invention relates to a pipe having resistance to both flame and cold, where the pipe has good flame resistance to prevent flame or smoke from spreading through the pipe penetrating into the floor or wall in the case of a fire and also has good smoke resistance to prevent deterioration in the physical properties of the pipe even in the cold weather.

Claims (16)

1. A pipe having resistance to both fire and cold, the pipe consisting essentially of a single functional layer,

wherein said functional layer consists of a PVC resin composition,

wherein said PVC resin composition consists essentially of 100 parts by weight of a PVC resin having a K-value of 72, and with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVC resin, 2.5 to 6.0 parts by weight of a methyl tin stabilizer, 1 to 100 parts by weight of expandable graphite, 1.0 to 2.0 parts by weight of a foam enhancer, 5.0 to 10.0 parts by weight of aluminum hydroxide, 2.0 to 7.0 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide, 5.0 to 10.0 parts by weight of zinc borate, and 2 to 8 parts by weight of calcium carbonate.

2. A pipe having resistance to both fire and cold, the pipe consisting essentially of a functional layer and an outer protection layer for the functional layer,

wherein said functional layer consists of a PVC resin composition,

wherein said PVC resin composition consists essentially of 100 parts by weight of a PVC resin having a K-value of 72, and with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVC resin, 2.5 to 6.0 parts by weight of a methyl tin stabilizer, 1 to 100 parts by weight of an expandable graphite, 1.0 to 2.0 parts by weight of a foam enhancer, 5.0 to 10.0 parts by weight of aluminum hydroxide, 2.0 to 7.0 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide, and 5.0 to 10.0 parts by weight of zinc borate,

wherein said outer protection layer consists of a second PVC resin composition,

wherein said second PVC resin composition consists essentially of 100 parts by weight of a PVC resin having a K-value of 72, and with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVC resin, 2.5 to 6.0 parts by weight of a methyl tin stabilizer, 1.0 to 5.0 parts by weight of an acrylic impact modifier, and 2 to 8 parts by weight of calcium carbonate.

3. The pipe having resistance to both fire and cold as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the outer protection layer is formed inside the functional layer.

4. A pipe having resistance to both fire and cold, the pipe consisting essentially of a functional layer, an inner protection layer formed inside the functional layer, and an outer protection layer formed outside the functional layer,

wherein said functional layer consists of a PVC resin composition,

wherein said PVC resin composition consists essentially of 100 parts by weight of a PVC resin having a K-value of 72, and with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVC resin, 2.5 to 6.0 parts by weight of a methyl tin stabilizer, 1 to 200 parts by weight of an expandable graphite, 1.0 to 2.0 parts by weight of a foam enhancer, 5.0 to 10.0 parts by weight of aluminum hydroxide, 2.0 to 7.0 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide, and 5.0 to 10.0 parts by weight of zinc borate,

wherein said inner protection layer and said outer protection layer both consist of a second PVC resin composition,

wherein said second PVC resin composition consists essentially of 100 parts by weight of a PVC resin having a K-value of 72, and with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVC resin, 2.5 to 6.0 parts by weight of a methyl tin stabilizer, 1.0 to 5.0 parts by weight of an acrylic impact modifier, and 2 to 8 parts by weight of calcium carbonate.

5. The pipe having resistance to both fire and cold as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4 , wherein the PVC resin composition of the functional layer further comprises 1.0 to 5.0 parts by weight of an acrylic impact modifier with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVC resin.

6. The pipe having resistance to both fire and cold as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4 , wherein the expandable graphite has a multi-layer structure comprising a sulfur or nitrogen compound between individual layers of the multi-layer structure.
