Abstract:
To provide a curable composition capable of obtaining a cured product excellent in outer appearance and abrasion resistance; a cured product excellent in outer appearance and abrasion resistance; a prepreg capable of obtaining a fiber-reinforced molded product excellent in outer appearance and abrasion resistance; and a fiber-reinforced molded product excellent in outer appearance and abrasion resistance. The curable composition comprises a thermosetting resin, a fluororesin powder and a curing agent, wherein the fluororesin powder is made of a resin material containing a melt-moldable fluororesin having a melting point of from 100 to 325° C. and having functional groups of at least one type selected from the group consisting of carbonyl group-containing groups, hydroxy groups, epoxy groups and isocyanate groups, and in 100 mass % of the total of the thermosetting resin and the fluororesin powder, the proportion of the thermosetting resin is from 70.0 to 99.9 mass % and the proportion of the fluororesin powder is from 0.1 to 30 mass %.
Abstract:
To provide a covering material for a heat resistant electric wire, which can cover a core wire without breakage from a weld line and which is excellent in the stress crack resistance at high temperature.A covering material for a heat resistant electric wire, which comprises a fluorinated copolymer composition containing a melt-moldable fluorinated copolymer (A) and a non-fluorinated thermoplastic resin (B1) in a volume ratio of (A)/(B1)=99/1 to 60/40, wherein the non-fluorinated thermoplastic resin (B1) is contained in the fluorinated copolymer composition in the form of fine particles having an average dispersed particle size of at most 8 μm, and the fluorinated copolymer composition has a storage elastic modulus of at least 90 MPa by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement at 200° C. Instead of the non-fluorinated thermoplastic resin (B1), a non-fluorinated resin (B2) having no melting point at 450° C. or below may be contained in the form of fine particles having an average dispersed particle size of at most 8 μm.
Abstract:
A method for producing an electric wire or a molded article with improved abrasion resistance is described. The method uses a fluororesin via electron beam irradiation in air at a temperature where the fluororesin does not melt. A method for producing a resin material containing a modified fluororesin is also described.
