Description

Polyamide composition, method for producing same, and molded article
The application relates to a division application of Chinese patent application with the application date of 2020, 5-month and 19 and the application number of 202010423271.3.
Technical Field
The present application relates to a polyamide composition, a method for producing the same, and a molded article
Background
The aliphatic polyamide-based composition has excellent characteristic properties and is therefore used for manufacturing molded articles in a very large number of applications. In particular, polyamide compositions having flame retardant properties are necessary for the components in the electrical and electronic industry in order to ensure adequate fire resistance.
Polyamides are often flame retardant treated by the addition of halogen compounds. However, recently, various regulations have been made such that products containing halogen compounds are not used in electric and electronic parts according to regulations of harmful substances such as RoHS (restriction of harmful substances) and PoHS (disabling of specific harmful substances in consumer products). Accordingly, various halogen-free flame retardants for polyamides have been developed.
Examples of the halogen-free flame retardant include phosphorus compounds. Patent document 1 discloses the use of calcium and aluminum salts of phosphinic acid or diphosphinic acid as flame retardants for polyamides. Test pieces having a sample thickness of 1.2mm, which were produced from a polyamide composition containing these halogen-free flame retardants and reinforced with 30 mass% of glass fibers relative to the total mass of the composition, reached a flammability classification V-0 based on UL 94.
In order to achieve the flammability classification V-0 of UL94, patent document 2 discloses: in a glass fiber reinforced polyamide composition containing polyamide 6 as a main component, aluminum phosphinate in an amount of much more than 20 mass% is required with respect to the total mass of the composition; in the glass fiber reinforced polyamide composition having polyamide 66 as a main component, more than 30 mass% of aluminum phosphinate is required. It can be seen that in order to achieve the flammability classification V-0 using the phosphinic flame retardant, a large amount of the phosphinic flame retardant must be added, thereby adversely affecting the mechanical properties, which is problematic.
Accordingly, patent document 3 discloses a polyamide composition containing phosphinate as a flame retardant, which is based on a mixture of aliphatic polyamide and semiaromatic polyamide. It is reported that the addition of the semiaromatic polyamide can reduce the amount of the flame retardant used and improve the tensile elongation.
In addition, patent document 4 discloses a polyamide composition using phosphinate as a flame retardant and based on a mixture of polyamide containing aromatic polyamide and polyphenylene sulfide. It is reported that by adding polyphenylene sulfide excellent in flame retardancy to a polyamide containing an aromatic polyamide, the amount of the flame retardant used can be reduced, and the amount of outgas emissions from the flame retardant can be reduced.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
However, the polyamide composition described in patent document 3 has room for improvement in long-term heat resistance and the like required for automobiles and various electric parts, although the tensile elongation at break is improved by reducing the amount of the flame retardant used.
In addition, although the polyamide composition described in patent document 4 has reduced the amount of flame retardant used and reduced outgas by adding polyphenylene sulfide, there is a concern that it is difficult to maintain the flammability classification V-0 based on UL94 when the proportion of aliphatic polyamide relative to aromatic polyamide is increased.
It can be seen that in the prior art, a polyamide composition using a halogen-free flame retardant and having both flame retardancy and long-term heat resistance is not known.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a polyamide composition which contains a halogen-free flame retardant and has excellent flame retardancy and long-term heat resistance, a method for producing the same, and a molded article comprising the polyamide composition.

< production of Polyamide >
The following describes in detail the production methods of the aliphatic polyamide A1-1 and the semiaromatic polyamide A2-1. The aliphatic polyamide A1-1 and the semiaromatic polyamide A2-1 obtained by the following production methods were dried in a nitrogen gas stream to adjust the water content to about 0.2 mass%, and then used as raw materials for polyamide compositions in examples and comparative examples described below.
Synthesis example 1 Synthesis of aliphatic Polyamide A1-1 (Polyamide 66)
The polymerization of polyamide was carried out by the "hot melt polymerization method" as described below.
First, 1500g of an equimolar salt of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine was dissolved in 1500g of distilled water to prepare an equimolar 50 mass% homogeneous aqueous solution of the raw material monomers. This aqueous solution was charged into an autoclave having an internal volume of 5.4L, and nitrogen substitution was performed. Then, while stirring at a temperature of about 110 ℃ or higher and about 150 ℃ or lower, the vapor was slowly discharged and concentrated to a solution concentration of 70 mass%. Then, the internal temperature was raised to 220 ℃. At this time, the autoclave was pressurized to 1.8MPa. This state was maintained for 1 hour until the internal temperature reached 245 ℃, and the reaction was carried out for 1 hour while slowly discharging water vapor while maintaining the pressure at 1.8MPa. Then, the pressure was reduced for 1 hour. Then, the inside of the autoclave was kept under reduced pressure of 650 Torr (86.66 kPa) for 10 minutes by means of a vacuum apparatus. At this time, the final internal temperature of the polymerization was 265 ℃. Then, the resultant was pressurized with nitrogen gas, formed into a strand form from a lower spinning nozzle, cooled with water, cut, and discharged in the form of pellets. Next, the pellets were dried at 100℃under a nitrogen atmosphere for 12 hours, whereby aliphatic polyamide A1-1 (polyamide 66) was obtained.
Mw (A1) =40000 of the obtained aliphatic polyamide A1-1 (polyamide 66).
Synthesis example 2 Synthesis of semiaromatic Polyamide A2-1 (Polyamide 6I)
The polymerization of polyamide was carried out by the "hot melt polymerization method" as described below.
First, 1500g of an equimolar salt of isophthalic acid and hexamethylenediamine, adipic acid in an amount of 1.5 mol% exceeding the total equimolar salt content, and acetic acid in an amount of 0.5 mol% were dissolved in 1500g of distilled water to prepare an equimolar 50 mass% homogeneous aqueous solution of the raw material monomers. Then, while stirring at a temperature of about 110 ℃ or higher and about 150 ℃ or lower, the vapor was slowly discharged and concentrated to a solution concentration of 70 mass%. Then, the internal temperature was raised to 220 ℃. At this time, the autoclave was pressurized to 1.8MPa. This state was maintained for 1 hour until the internal temperature reached 245 ℃, and the reaction was carried out for 1 hour while slowly discharging water vapor while maintaining the pressure at 1.8MPa. Then, the pressure was reduced for 30 minutes. Then, the inside of the autoclave was kept under reduced pressure of 650 Torr (86.66 kPa) for 10 minutes by means of a vacuum apparatus. At this time, the final internal temperature of the polymerization was 265 ℃. Then, the resultant was pressurized with nitrogen gas, formed into a strand form from a lower spinning nozzle, cooled with water, cut, and discharged in the form of pellets. Next, the pellets were dried at 100℃under a nitrogen atmosphere for 12 hours to obtain semiaromatic polyamide A2-1 (polyamide 6I).
The content of isophthalic acid unit in the dicarboxylic acid unit of the resulting semiaromatic polyamide A2-1 (polyamide 6I) was 100 mol%. Mw (A2) =20000.

In addition, (B) a phosphorus-containing flame retardant B-1 and (D) a filler D-1 are fed from a side feed port on the downstream side of the extruder (in a state where the resin fed from the top feed port is sufficiently melted). Next, the molten kneaded material extruded from the die is cooled in the form of strands, and pelletized, thereby obtaining pellets of the polyamide composition. The blending amounts are shown in Table 1.
