Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The electric wire according to one aspect of the present invention is an electric wire comprising an insulated electric wire and one or more coating layers covering the insulated electric wire, wherein at least one layer of the one or more coating layers is formed from a resin composition containing a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer and an allophanate crosslinking agent. The electric wire having such a characteristic feature is excellent in abrasion resistance and heat resistance and can be produced at low costs.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing an electric wire comprising an insulated electric wire and one or more coating layers covering the insulated electric wire, the method comprising: a step of mixing an A agent containing a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer and a B agent containing an allophanate crosslinking agent and a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer or a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, wherein a shape of the A agent is a pellet and a shape of the B agent is a pellet, and thereby obtaining dry-blended pellets of the A agent and the B agent, a step of melting the dry-blended pellets and thereby obtaining a melted resin composition, and a step of coating the insulated electric wire with the melted resin composition. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of crosslinking the melted resin composition after the step of coating. 3. A method for producing a multi-core cable comprising a plurality of insulated electric wires and one or more coating layers covering the plurality of insulated electric wires, the method comprising: a step of mixing an A agent containing a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer and a B agent containing an allophanate crosslinking agent and a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer or a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, wherein a shape of the A agent is a pellet and a shape of the B agent is a pellet, and thereby obtaining dry-blended pellets of the A anent and the B agent, a step of melting the dry-blended pellets and thereby obtaining a melted resin composition, and a step of coating wholly the plurality of insulated electric wires with the melted resin composition. 4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising a step of crosslinking the melted resin composition after the step of coating.
