This invention relates to the field of cable technology and discloses a 220KV
submarine cable resistant to deep-
water pressure and its manufacturing method. The
submarine cable is composed of a conductor, an
insulation layer, a water-blocking tape, a sheath layer, a waterproof
polypropylene tape inner lining layer, an armor layer, and a waterproof
polypropylene tape outer sheath layer. This invention involves mixing
polypropylene, polypropylene-modified
silicone oil, and a
lubricant, followed by
extrusion,
casting, stretching and orientation, and slitting. The resulting waterproof polypropylene tape exhibits good tensile strength, while significantly improving elongation at break and flexibility. The polypropylene-modified
silicone oil contains strongly hydrophobic perfluoroalkyl chains and polysiloxane structures, which improves the
water contact angle and surface hydrophobicity of the polypropylene tape, enhancing its waterproof performance. As the inner lining and outer sheath layer of the cable, it is beneficial for improving the cable's waterproof and water-resistant performance, and has good practical applications in
submarine cables and other fields.
