Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of wire and cable materials, and relates to a wear-resistant B1-grade sheath material for wire and cable. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the core carrier of power transmission and signal transmission, wire and cable is widely used in key fields such as construction, transportation, energy and communication. The sheath, as the outermost protective structure of the cable, directly determines the safety and stability and service life of the cable. In actual application, the cable needs to withstand complex environmental tests for a long time, such as dragging and friction during laying, mechanical extrusion during use, high and low temperature cycle and potential fire risk. Therefore, the sheath needs to have multiple functions such as mechanical protection, environmental isolation and safe flame retardance. It not only prevents external moisture and impurities from entering the cable interior to damage the conductor and the insulation layer, but also delays the spread of combustion and reduces the release of toxic smoke in case of accidental fire, thereby ensuring personnel safety and normal operation of equipment.

[0003] With the continuous expansion of the application scenarios of the cable, the performance requirements of the sheath material are also increasingly diversified. At present, the mainstream sheath material for wire and cable is mainly prepared based on the modification of a polymer matrix. Common matrices include polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer and styrene-based elastomer. Among them, the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer has excellent elasticity, oil resistance and mechanical strength, and is widely used in scenarios with high flexibility requirements. The styrene-based elastomer has good low-temperature toughness and processing fluidity, and is often blended with other matrices to optimize the comprehensive performance of the material. In order to meet the special needs in different scenarios, researchers will modify the polymer matrix by adding fillers, flame retardants, additives and other functional components, so as to endow the material with additional properties such as wear resistance, flame retardance and anti-aging, and make the sheath material adapt to the use requirements in different fields such as subway tunnels, high-rise buildings and new energy vehicles.

[0004] Although the existing sheath material has realized basic protection function, there are still obvious deficiencies in performance synergy and application adaptability. On the one hand, traditional flame-retardant modification often relies on additive flame retardants. For example, inorganic flame retardants such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide need a high filling amount to achieve B1-grade flame retardance, which easily leads to the decrease of the mechanical properties of the material and the deterioration of the processing fluidity. Although halogen flame retardants have high flame-retardant efficiency, they will release toxic and harmful gases during combustion, which is harmful to the environment and human health. On the other hand, the hard fillers commonly used for wear-resistant modification have poor compatibility with the polymer matrix, and are prone to aggregation. Not only is it difficult to effectively improve the wear resistance, but also the flexibility of the material may be damaged, resulting in cracking of the sheath during bending. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wear-resistant B1 grade wire and cable sheath material, which produces a B1 grade flame-retardant and highly wear-resistant wire and cable sheath material, solving the problem of the conflict between flame retardancy and mechanical properties in traditional sheath materials, and has clear technological innovation and industrial application value.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A wear-resistant B1 grade wire and cable sheath material is prepared from raw materials comprising the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts polymer matrix, 15-40 parts abrasion-resistant filler, 10-40 parts intrinsic flame retardant system and 1-3 parts additives; The polymer matrix comprises thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer and styrene-based elastomer; The wear-resistant filler is a hard filler whose surface has been treated with a coupling agent; The intrinsic flame retardant system is a three-dimensional cross-linked network structure formed by the catalytic condensation reaction of a hexa(4'-aldehyde phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene core and an aminated EVA side chain.

[0007] In this application, TPU serves as the continuous phase and the primary wear-resistant phase. Its hard segments provide high strength and hardness, while the soft segments offer excellent elasticity and toughness. SBS acts as a multifunctional modifier in this system. Its polystyrene hard segment microdomains act as physical crosslinking points, enhancing the system's strength; the polybutadiene soft segments provide high elasticity. Furthermore, the SBS molecular structure possesses both polar and non-polar segments, effectively compatible with non-polar SBS segments, strongly polar TPU segments, and subsequently introduced EVA segments, improving the compatibility of the multiphase interface and preventing phase separation and performance deterioration due to weak interfacial adhesion.

[0008] The intrinsic flame retardant system is not a simple physically additive flame retardant, but rather a three-dimensional network structure formed through a Schiff base condensation reaction between the aldehyde group of hexa(4'-aldehyde-phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene and the side-chain amino group of aminated EVA under the action of a catalyst. Since the Schiff base formation reaction is essentially no different from other Schiff base reactions in other fields, this application will not elaborate on its reaction process conditions. During combustion, the phosphorus element on the phosphazene ring is first converted into strongly dehydrating substances such as phosphoric acid and metaphosphoric acid, catalyzing the dehydration of the polymer to form a dense and robust expanded char layer, which effectively isolates the internal combustible material from the exchange of oxygen and heat, interrupting the combustion cycle. The rigid cyclic structure of hexa(4'-aldehyde-phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene and the formed cross-linked network itself also have a very high char-forming tendency. The nitrogen-containing inert gases (such as NH3 and N2) produced by combustion decomposition can dilute the concentration of combustible gases and oxygen. Simultaneously, phosphorus-oxygen free radicals can capture key hydrogen and hydroxyl free radicals in the combustion chain reaction, thereby quenching the flame.

[0009] The structural formula of hexa(4'-aldehyde phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene is: .

[0010] Preparation, characterization and thermal properties of hexa(4-aldehyde phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene, according to Xiao Xiao, Gan Xiaoxian, Liu Qing, et al., Chemical Propellants and Polymer Materials.

[0011] The aminated EVA was prepared by the following method: EVA resin with a VA content of 28% was dissolved in xylene, and excess ethanolamine was added under nitrogen protection. The mixture was reacted at 100°C for 6 hours. After the reaction was completed, the EVA was precipitated with methanol, filtered, and vacuum dried to obtain modified EVA with amino groups in the side chains.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer to the styrene elastomer is 60-90:10-40.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hard filler is at least one of nano-silica, silicon carbide, or alumina; the coupling agent is at least one of silane coupling agent, titanate coupling agent, or aluminate coupling agent.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the additive is at least one of antioxidant 1010, lubricant zinc stearate, and catalyst p-toluenesulfonic acid.

[0015] Furthermore, the method for preparing the abrasion-resistant B1 grade wire and cable sheath material includes the following steps: (1) EVA, an amino-containing compound and an initiator are grafted in the molten state to obtain aminoated EVA; (2) The hard filler and the coupling agent are mixed in an ethanol solution to carry out a surface modification reaction, and the wear-resistant filler is obtained. (3) The polymer matrix, the wear-resistant filler and additives obtained in step (2) and part of the aminated EVA obtained in step (1) are melt-blended and then extruded and granulated to obtain a premix. (4) The premix obtained in step (3), the remaining part of the aminated EVA obtained in step (1), the hexa(4'-aldehyde phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene and the catalyst are put into a twin-screw extruder together. During the melt extrusion process, the in-situ formation of the three-dimensional cross-linked network structure is completed. After extrusion, cooling and pelletizing, the sheath material is obtained.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the amino-containing compound in step (1) is 2-aminoethyl methacrylate or glycidyl methacrylate; the initiator is dicumyl peroxide.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the surface modification reaction in step (2) is carried out at a temperature of 60-80°C and for a reaction time of 4-6 hours.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the melting and blending temperature in step (3) is 160-180°C; the proportion of the aminated EVA obtained in part of step (1) is 40%-60% of the total mass of the aminated EVA.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the catalyst in step (4) is p-toluenesulfonic acid; the mass ratio of the aminated EVA, hexa(4'-aldehyde phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene and the catalyst is 15-30:5-15:0.1-0.3.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the processing temperature range of the twin-screw extruder in step (4) is 170-195℃, and the screw speed is 300-500 rpm.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) This invention employs an intrinsic flame-retardant system constructed from hexa(4'-aldehyde-phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene and aminated EVA. Through in-situ formation of a three-dimensional cross-linked network, phosphorus and nitrogen flame-retardant elements are firmly embedded in the polymer backbone via covalent bonds. During combustion, the P / N elements generate a highly efficient synergistic flame-retardant effect: catalyzing the formation of a dense and stable expanded char layer in the condensed phase, isolating heat and oxygen; and releasing inert gases and capturing free radicals in the gas phase, interrupting the combustion chain reaction. It achieves the B1 flame-retardant standard without requiring highly filled inorganic or halogenated flame retardants.

[0022] (2) This invention improves wear resistance through multiple mechanisms. First, TPU is used as the main wear-resistant matrix, and its microphase separation structure itself has excellent anti-friction capabilities. Second, the introduction of surface-coupled hard filler nano-SiO2 effectively prevents interface debonding through strong interfacial bonding force and forms uniform hard support points on the material surface, directly bearing frictional stress. In addition, the addition of SBS elastomer not only enhances the compatibility of each phase, but its own elasticity also helps to buffer frictional impact. This multi-layered structure of soft matrix, hard points, and strong interface makes the wear resistance of the material far exceed that of traditional cable sheath materials.

[0070] Table 1 Test Results

[0071]

[0072] The test results show that the examples adopt an intrinsic flame-retardant design, fixing P and N elements to the polymer skeleton through chemical bonds, resulting in high char formation efficiency and free radical capture efficiency. Therefore, it is predicted that they can all achieve the highest flame retardant rating of B1. The TPU / SBS ratio is excellent, the filler is well treated, and all properties achieve an excellent balance. Comparative Example 1 lacks SBS compatibilizer, resulting in uneven dispersion of filler and flame-retardant phase, poor interfacial bonding, and overall deterioration of all properties. Comparative Example 2 lacks TPU wear-resistant matrix, and SBS itself has insufficient strength and wear resistance, making it unable to serve as a continuous phase, resulting in extremely poor wear resistance. Comparative Example 3 has untreated filler, resulting in extremely weak interfacial bonding. Under stress, it quickly debonds and forms abrasive particles, leading to a sharp decrease in wear resistance. Tensile strength is also reduced due to interfacial defects. Comparative Example 4 lacks EVA-NH2, making it impossible to form a cross-linked network. Flame-retardant elements cannot be effectively anchored, resulting in almost no flame-retardant effect. Mechanical properties are better due to the lack of cross-linking. Comparative Example 5 uses physically mixed flame retardants, which severely damages the matrix continuity, leading to severe embrittlement of the material. The flame retardant interfacial compatibility is poor, it is easy to migrate, and the flame-retardant efficiency is low.
