Benefits of technology

[0011]In view of the above, the objective of the invention is to give a tetrafluoroethylene / hexafluoropropylene copolymer with improved moldability in melt extrusion molding, especially with significant reduction of defects in high-speed extrusion coating of an electrical wire and with manufacturability of an electrical wire with smaller transmission loss (attenuation). A method of producing a fluororesin composition includes copolymerizing at least tetrafluoroethylene with hexafluoropropylene so that a melt flow rate at 372 degree C. of the copolymer formed in the copolymerization changes from 0.05-5.0 grams / 10 minutes to 10-60 grams / 1.0 minutes. The tetrafluoroethylene / hexafluoropropylene copolymer can be used as a coating on an electrical wire.

Problems solved by technology

WO 03 / 22922 and WO 03 / 22923 pamphlets), These techniques can reduce the size of a lump which is produced between a coating resin and a conductive wire in some degree but they can't reduce the occurrence frequency of the lump substantially.
However, this melt-processable fluororesin composition can't reduce the occurrence frequency of the lump substantially as well as the melt-processable fluororesin in which PTFE powder is mixed with FEP powder.
Moreover, fluctuation of capacitance is larger and the electrical properties of the final products made from the melt-processable fluororesin composition are worse when a smaller lump is produced.
However, it is not clear that this PFA composition can give an electrical wire without any defects in high-speed extrusion coating of an electrical wire.
The thermally unstable end group causes not only decrement of thermal resistance of the resin but increment of attenuation of the electrical wire obtained from the resin because the thermally unstable end group is chemically unstable.
Conventional defects are acknowledged as a problem in high speed coating at the coating speed of from 1,000 feet / minute to 3,000 feet / minute.
This is attributed to difficulty to break foam by a core agent for foaming and difficulty to break resin coating because of improvement of melt tension.

Synthesis Example 1

[0048]8163.5 lbs. of deionized water (including 3.5 lbs. of ammonium ω-hydroxyfluorocarbonate) was added into a glass-lined autoclave with an agitator (12,000 L volume), After that, the autoclave was vacuumed and filled with nitrogen gas well. After this, after the autoclave was vacuumed, 8459 lbs. of HFP was added into the autoclave. While the deionized water and HFP were agitated vigorously in the autoclave, the inner temperature was set at 89.6 F and 950 lbs. of TFE and 92 lbs. of PPVE were added into the autoclave. Next, the inner pressure of the autoclave was set at 150.6 psi, and 51.8 lbs. of 8 wt % di(w-hydroperfluorohexanoyl) peroxide (abbreviated to “DHP” in the following) perfluorohexane solution was added into the autoclave to initiate polymerization, 51.8 lbs. of 8 wt % DHP perfluorohexane solution was added into the autoclave, and 1.7 psig of the inner pressure was reduced 2 hours later and 4 hours later from the initiation of the polymerization.

Synthesis Example 2

[0072]After the pellet obtained in the synthesis example 1 was inserted into a vacuum vibration type reactor of VVD-30 (manufactured by OKAWARA MFG.CO., LTD.), the pellet was heated to 200 degree C. After the reactor was vacuumed, F2 gas diluted by 20 wt % with N2 gas was introduced into the reactor up to the atmospheric pressure. F2 gas was introduced again after the reactor was vacuumed three hours later from the first introduction of F2 gas. The operation of the F2 gas introduction described above and vacuuming was carried out 6 times. After the reaction was completed, F7 gas in the reactor was replaced with N2 gas and deaeration of the pellet was carried out at 180 degree C. for 8 hours. The composition of the pellet after the reaction was TFE 87.9: HFP 11.1: PPVE 1.0 in weight. The melting point was 256.8 degree C. The MFR at 372 degree C. was 23.5 g / 10 minutes.
