Description

Expandable polystyrene resin beads and manufacture method thereof, pre-expanded beads and expanded moldings
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of manufacture method of expandable polystyrene resin beads, this resin particle is used to make as food product containers, packing, the useful polystyrene resin expanded moldings of cushioning material.And, in more detail, the present invention relates to the manufacture method of following expandable polystyrene resin beads, even the pressure of the water vapor that uses during this expandable polystyrene resin beads moulding also can obtain beautiful appearance and have high-intensity expanded moldings as low pressure, since can low pressure molding, so in molding procedure, can shorten the molding time of each injection.
The application is based on requiring right of priority Japanese Patent Application 2008-19000 number of Japanese publication on January 30th, 2008, and with its content quotation in this.
Background technology
In the past, as containers for food use, packing, the employed expanded plastic of cushioning material, used polystyrene resin expanded moldings mostly with excellent heat insulating ability, economy, wholesomeness.
Generally, the manufacture method of the industrial polystyrene resin expanded moldings that carries out is implemented following method: utilize thermal medium such as steam will contain the expandable polystyrene resin beads heating of volatile foaming agent etc., make its foaming (pre-frothing) to desired bulk density, this pre-expanded beads is filled in this die cavity of the shaping mould with the die cavity that forms required forming shape, utilize thermal medium such as steam to heat pre-expanded beads in this die cavity, carry out the foam-in-mould moulding, make expanded moldings.At this moment, the density of resulting polystyrene resin expanded moldings is roughly identical with bulk density under the pre-frothing.The desired intensity of set basis polystyrene resin expanded moldings of bulk density and the foam performance that expandable polystyrene resin beads is had decide.For example, the employed polystyrene resin expanded moldings of food product containers such as the wrapping material of household appliances etc., fish box is with about 0.02~0.017g/cm 3The density supply market.
In this molding procedure, the outward appearance of expanded moldings and intensity change according to the temperature (being heating steam pressure under the situation of water vapor) of heating mediums such as steam.For example, when heating with water vapor, if improve heated pressure, then the outward appearance of formed body, intensity have the tendency of raising, but because cooling time is elongated, so productivity reduces, are not preferred.
And then, if heated pressure increases, the surperficial melted by heat of expanded moldings then, thereby the degraded appearance of expanded moldings.
On the contrary, carry out moulding if reduce heated pressure, then the molding time of each injection shortens, but bonding the dying down between the pre-expanded beads, the outward appearance of expanded moldings, intensity variation.
So, free forming is to a certain extent pressed from low pressure to high pressure in the heating steam of steam in the molding procedure, and this is one of key property of expandable polystyrene resin beads.
Generally, relation in the manufacturing of polystyrene resin expanded moldings between the intensity of the molding time of each injection and expanded moldings is: when molding time is long, obtain having high-intensity expanded moldings, on the contrary in short-term in molding time, the tendency that the intensity of visible expanded moldings reduces.
As the prior art of the molding time that is used to shorten the polystyrene resin expanded moldings, can enumerate for example patent documentation 1~5.
In the patent documentation 1, proposed a kind of under the surface-coated normal temperature of expandable polystyrene resin beads the method for the ester of pulverous aliphatic carboxylic acid below solid 60 orders and fatty alcohol.Though this method can significantly shorten the cooling time in the molding time, and is effective to the cripetura of molding time, there is the tendency that reduces with intensity.
In addition, method in the emulsion of expandable polystyrene resin beads or the surface-coated paraffin of expanded particle has been proposed in the patent documentation 2, method at expandable polystyrene resin beads or the surface-coated whiteruss of expanded particle has been proposed in the patent documentation 3, proposed method in the patent documentation 4, proposed method in the patent documentation 5 at expandable polystyrene resin beads or the surface-coated polyethers of expanded particle at the surface-coated specific silicone compounds of expandable polystyrene resin beads or expanded particle.But, the reduction of intensity when these methods are not avoided making expanded moldings yet.

ATR method infrared spectroscopic analysis is an analytical procedure of measuring infrared absorption spectrum by the primary event type ATR method of utilizing total reflection to absorb.
This analytical procedure is to make ATR prism and the sample driving fit with high refractive index, sees through the ATR prism sample is shone infrared rays, the light that penetrates from the ATR prism is carried out the method for spectrum analysis.ATR method infrared spectroscopic analysis is owing to have only by making sample and the driving fit of ATR prism just can measure the spectrographic simplicity, and can carry out the degree of depth, so can extensively be used in surface analysis with the various materials headed by the organism such as macromolecular material until several microns reasons such as surface analysis.
Among the present invention,, the surface and the central part of expandable polystyrene resin beads are analyzed, obtained 1730cm in the resulting infrared absorption spectrum by ATR method infrared spectroscopic analysis -1The absorbancy D1730 and the 1600cm at place -1The absorbancy D1600 at place.Then, the absorbancy that calculates the resin particle surface by the value of above-mentioned each absorbancy than the absorbancy of (A) and particle central part than (B).
In addition, the 1600cm that obtains by infrared absorption spectrum -1The absorbancy D1600 at place be meant the in plane vibration that derives from the phenyl ring that polystyrene resin contains at 1600cm -1Near the height at the peak that occurs.
And, the 1730cm that obtains by infrared absorption spectrum -1The absorbancy D1730 at place be meant stretching vibration between the C=O that derives from the ester group that acrylate contains at 1730cm -1Near the height at the peak that occurs.
And, the absorbancy on surface is by ATR method infrared spectroscopic analysis the surfaces A of expandable polystyrene resin beads 1 to be measured the value of obtaining as shown in Figure 1, and the absorbancy of central part is that the central part B in the cross section that the center by expandable polystyrene resin beads 1 obtained its cut-out by ATR method infrared spectroscopic analysis as shown in Figure 2 measures the value of obtaining.
