Description

POLYMERIC COMPOSITIONS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a treated filler material, preferably a treated carbonaceous filler material, a crosslinking agent and an ethylene containing polymer. A preferred treated filler material comprises carbon black and preferred ethylene containing polymers are ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene- propylene (EPR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM).
Background of the Invention
The treating of carbon black with polymeric binders is disclosed in the art. Previous patents disclose the art of incoφorating additives to produce pelletized treated filler materials, in particular pelletized treated carbon blacks, with improved handling characteristics, for example, low dust. The construction of insulated electrical conductors, i.e., wire and cables designed for medium and high voltage applications, is known in the art. Typical constructions include a core conductor which comprises one or more strands of a conducting metal or alloy such as copper or aluminum; a layer of a semiconductive shielding compound; a layer of insulation such as crosslinked polyethylene or ethylene-propyiene rubber and a layer of a semiconductive insulation shield compound overlaying the insulation.
The conductor shield, the insulation shield and the overlaying semiconductive shield layer may be formed by either a two pass or by a single pass triple extrusion process. A two pass operation refers to a process whereby the conductor shield and the insulation layer are extruded in tandem and then crosslinked prior to extrusion of the semiconductor insulation layer. A single pass triple extrusion process refers to a process in which the conductor shield, the insulation layer and the semiconductive shield are ail extruded in a common extrusion head and crosslinked simultaneously. The single pass triple extrusion process minimizes production steps and hence is a preferred method of manufacture. However, the single pass triple extrusion process generally makes the semiconductive shield layer more fully bonded to the insulation layer, than in a two pass operation.
Generally, in order to splice insulated electrical wires, or make terminal connections, the semiconductive shield layer should be stripped from the insulation layer. Stripping the semiconductive shield layer from the insulation shield layer is often very difficult. In a situation where the semiconductive shield layer contains carbon black, a carbon containing residue on the surface of the insulation shield often results . The carbon residue may disadvantageously promote treeing in the insulation layer which will ultimately lead to electrical breakdown of the cable. It is therefore advantageous and desirable for a semiconductive shield layer to have a low strip force (be easily separable) when being removed from the insulation layer and for the semiconductive shield layer to leave minimal amounts of carbon residue on the surface of the insulation shield.
Strippable conductive shield compositions are those which can be separated from a crosslinked insulation layer without leaving appreciable amounts of residue on the insulation layer. Usually, the force required to separate a strippable conductive shield composition is significantly lower than the separation force required for bonded shield compositions.
There is a significant cost difference between strippable and bonded semiconductive shield compositions based on existing technological approaches. It would be advantageous, to produce more cost effective strippable formulations than those developed from the technical approaches utilized to date.

The effectiveness and advantages of various aspects and embodiments of the present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples wherein the following testing procedures were utilized.
The following testing procedures were utilized in the determination and evaluation of the analytical properties of the carbon blacks utilized in the following examples. The DBP (dibutyl phthalate adsoφtion value) of the carbon blacks utilized in the examples, expressed as cubic centimeters DBP per 100 grams carbon black (cc/lOOg), was determined according to the procedure set forth in ASTM D2414. The Iodine number (I No.) of the carbon blacks utilized in the examples, expressed as milligrams per gram (mg/g), was determined according to ASTM test procedure DI S 10. The peel force was determined by producing a plaque of the composition utilizing a heated hydraulic press (temperature 130° C) to produce 1.2 millimeters (mm) thick plaque. A 2mm thick polyethylene plaque containing 1 % dicumyl peroxide was produced in a similar manner. The two plaques were laminated together under a pressure of 100 psi and exposed to a curing cycle of 180° C for 15 minutes. The resulting laminate was allowed to cool to ambient temperature under pressure. The strip force required to delaminate the composition layer from the polyethylene layer, at a peeling angle of 180° and a separation speed of 3.94 inches/minute was recorded as peel force. The error of the test is typically +/-0.1 lb/0.5 in. Examples
Fourteen compositions, A-N, were produced utilizing two carbon blacks, CB I and CB2, as filler material. Carbon blacks CBI and CB2 had the properties set forth in Table 1 below.

Carbon Black mg/g cc/lOOg
CBI 68 140
CB2 20 131
Compositions B, C, E, G, I, K, L, M and N were examples of compositions of the present invention and were produced utilizing a treated carbon black comprising carbon black and HYCAR® 1571 a carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene latex polymer produced and sold by BF Goodrich, Akron, Ohio.
Compositions A, D, F, H and J were control compositions produced utilizing untreated carbon black pellets.
The treated carbon blacks utilized in compositions B,C, E, G, I, K, L, M and N, were produced by combining fluffy carbon black with HYCAR® 1571 a carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene latex polymer and water, to form wet pellets, in a continuous pin pelletizer. The control carbon black pellets utilized in compositions A, D, F, H and J were produced in similar fashion except without addition of any treating agent. The resultant wet pellets were dried at a temperature which was sufficient to remove the water without causing decomposition of the polymer. In these experiments, drying temperatures in the range of 120° C to 180° C were found to be acceptable.
The compositions were produced using a Banbury mixer by compounding the carbon black pellets with ELVAX EVA resins (manufactured and sold by DuPont, Wilmington, Deleware) to produce compositions comprising 40-42%, by weight, based on the weight of the composition, carbon black, 0.5%, by weight, based on the weight of the composition, AGERITE MA antioxidant (manufactured and sold by R.T. Vanderbilt Company Inc., Norwalk, Connecticut), 1.0%, by weight, based on the weight of the composition, VUL-CUP R peroxide curing agent (manufactured and sold by Hercules Inc., Wilmington, Delaware) with the remainder of the compositon being EVA resin and treating agent. The mixing temperature was maintained below 150° C to minimize premature cure of the compound.
The peel force of each composition was then determined utilizing the procedure described above. The results are provided in Table 2 below

These results show the reduced peel force of the compositions of the present invention (B, C, E, G, I, K, L, M and N) resulting from the use of the treated carbon blacks. This effect is noticeable for different levels of treating agent and in different EVA resins.
It should be clearly understood that the forms of the present invention herein described are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
