A resin composition, containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (A); and 15 to 30 mass parts of a bromine-based flame retardant (B), 5 to 15 mass parts of antimony trioxide (C), 6 to 12 mass parts of a benzimidazole-based aging retardant (D), 2 to 4 mass parts of a phenol-based aging retardant (E), 2 to 4 mass parts of a thioether-based aging retardant (F), 0.5 to 2 mass parts of a copper inhibitor (G), and 3 to 6 mass parts of a crosslinking aid (H), with respect to 90 to 100 mass parts of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (A);

Resin composition, resin-coating material, vehicle wire harness and method of producing vehicle wire harness

An aluminum electrical wire includes a conductor including aluminum-based core wires, and an insulating resin covering covering the conductor and having a thickness deviation of not less than 70%. The aluminum-based core wires contain 99 mass % of aluminum, and the conductor is constructed by concentrically twisting 19 or 37 of the aluminum-based core wires at the same pitch in a non-compressed state such that the aluminum electrical wire has a current capacity that is substantially the same as a current capacity of a copper electrical wire having a diameter that is substantially the same as a diameter of the aluminum electrical wire.

Aluminum electrical wire and method for manufacturing aluminum electrical wire

A conductor including multiple aluminum-based core wires, and an insulating resin covering directly covering the conductor such that the insulating resin covering is in contact with the aluminum-based core wires. The aluminum-based core wires includes one aluminum-based core wire containing not less than 99 mass % of aluminum in a center of the conductor and aluminum-based core wires positioned concentrically from the center of the conductor, and the conductor is constructed by concentrically twisting 19 or 37 of the aluminum-based core wires in a non-compressed state and at a same pitch such that a thickness deviation of the insulating resin covering is not less than 70%.
