Abstract

Abstract Plasticized polymeric compositions based on vinyl chloride polymers and particularly useful as sheathings for electric cables and for similar applications are disclosed. The compositions contain very small amounts, from 0.05 to 3.0 parts, preferably from 0.05 to 1.0 part by weight of SiO2, very small amounts, from 0.0005 to 1.0 preferably from 0.001 to 0.5 part by weight of a phenol-type antioxidant, and optionally but not necessarily small amounts, from 0.5 to 4.0 parts, preferably from 0.05 to 2.0 parts, by weight of oxides and/or hydroxides of magnesium, aluminum, zinc and alkaline earth metals.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 189 words
Electric cables having, as sheathing, a plasticized polymeric composition the essential constituent of which is a vinylchloride polymer and which also consists of: (a) from 0.05 to 3.0 parts of silica having an average particle size less than 0.01 micron and a surface area larger than 200 m 2 /g; and (b) from 0.0005 to 1.0 part of a phenolic antioxidant for the vinylchloride polymer and selected from the group consisting of derivatives of alkylated phenols, bis-phenols and polyphenols; said compositions also containing the following constituents in parts per 100 parts of the vinylchloride polymer: (c) from 20 to 100 parts of a plasticizer for the vinylchloride polymer; (d) from 0.1 to 10 parts of heat and light stabilizers for the vinylchloride polymer; (e) from 0 to 10 parts of a costabilizer for the vinylchloride polymer; (f) from 0 to 1.0 parts of ultra-violet ray absorbers and/or optical blueing agents for the vinyl-chloride polymer; (g) from 0 to 4.0 parts of a lubricant for the vinyl-chloride polymer; (h) from 0 to 10 parts of TiO 2 and/or carbon black; and (i) from 0 to 100 parts of mineral fillers.
