Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a flame retardant polyamide resin composition that yields moldings which are characterized by excellent high-temperature stability and mechanical characteristics and which are impervious to corrosion even when used for a long time.
  • Polyamide resins are characterized by excellent mechanical characteristics, moldability, and chemical resistance and have therefore been used in automotive parts, electric/ electronic components, mechanical components, and many other applications.
  • the need for flame retardancy is strong in the case of electric and electronic components, so the resins must satisf Class V-O requirements of the UL standard. This is the reason that flame retardant polyamide resins obtained, for example, by compounding brominated polystyrenes and antimony oxide into polyamide resins are now widely known.
  • the objective of the present invention is to offer a flame retardant polyamide resin composition capable of offering moldings which are highly stable at high temperatures, do not decompose during kneading and molding, possess excellent mechanical characteristics, and are unlikely to undergo corrosion even when used for a long time.
  • the present invention which allows the stated objective to be attained, concerns a flame retardant polyamide resin composition which is characterized by essentially comprising 100 weight parts of a polyamide resin, 10 to 100 weight parts of a brominated polystyrene, and 1 to 20 weight parts of magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide.
  • the polyamide resin used in the present invention is one which is obtained by random ring-opening polymerization, aminocarboxylic acid polycondensation, diamine and dicarboxylic acid polycondensation, or diamine and aromatic carboxylic acid polycondensation. Specific examples include polyamides 6, 12, 11, 6-6, 6-10, and 6-12. An aromatic polyamide with a melting point of 280 to 340°C is preferred.
  • an aromatic polyamide resin which comprises aromatic carboxylic acid component units that consist of terephthalic acid or a mixture of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid containing no more than 40 mol% of isophthalic acid, and aliphatic diamine component units that consist of a mixture of hexamethylenediamine and 2- methylpentamethylenediamine containing 40 to 90 mol% of hexamethylenediamine. Stability at high temperatures is markedly improved by the use of an aromatic polyamide with a melting point of 280 to 340 °C.
  • Such an aromatic poly amide resin can be manufactured by a known polycondensation technique.
  • Polyamide 6-6 may be blended into the aromatic polyamide resin; terephthalic acid, a mixture of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid, adipic acid, hexamethylenediamine, and 2-methylpentamethylenediamine may also be subjected to polycondensation together with the resin.
  • terephthalic acid a mixture of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid
  • adipic acid hexamethylenediamine
  • 2-methylpentamethylenediamine may also be subjected to polycondensation together with the resin.
  • the brominated polystyrenes of the present invention include poly(dibromostyrene), poly(tribromostyrene), and poly(pentabromostyrene).
  • the content ranges from 10 to 100 weight parts with respect to the polyamide resin. When the content is lower than 10 weight parts, it is impossible to attain Class V-O fire retardancy, and when the content exceeds 100 weight parts, the mechanical strength becomes inadequate.
  • the content of the magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide used in the present invention should be 1 to 20 weight parts, and preferably 2 to 8 weight parts. A content that is lower than 1 weight part produces no fire retardancy effect. When the content exceeds 20 weight parts, the mechanical strength and tensile elongation decrease, and the polyamide resin decomposes when a large amount is compounded.
  • Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium oxide may be used individually or as a combination.
  • a flame retardant polyamide resin composition with an even better processibility is obtained when antimony oxide is compounded in addition to magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide.
  • the contents of components in this case should be 10 to 100 weight parts for the brominated polystyrene, 0.5 to 10 weight parts for magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide, and 0.5 to 10 weight parts for antimony oxide, per 100 weight parts of the polyamide resin.
  • the content of antimony oxide is lower than 0.5 weight parts, no flame retardancy effect is produced, and when the content exceeds 10 weight parts, the mechanical strength and tensile elongation decrease.
  • Glass fiber, carbonized fiber, potassium titanate, whiskers, talc, mica, and other inorganic fibers may also be compounded with the polyamide resin composition of the present invention.
  • Thermal stabilizers plasticizers, antioxidants, nucleators, dyes, pigments, mold-release agents, and other additives can also be compounded in addition to the aforementioned components with the proposed polyamide resin composition as long as its characteristics are not adversely affected.
  • the undesirable toxicity induced by antimony can be reduced or completely eliminated by the substitution of some or all antimony oxide with the magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide compounded into the polyamide resin composition of the present invention.
  • the resin composition does not decompose, nor does processibility deteriorate markedly during manufacturing and molding, even when the components are kneaded or molded in high-temperature conditions or when a high shear rate is developed during the kneading of the components. This makes it possible to offer a resin composition with satisfactory thermal stability, even when a highly viscous brominated polystyrene is used.
  • Another advantage is that because no sodium antimonate is used, there is no undesirable sodium-induced corrosion, and the mechanical characteristics are improved in comparison with the Class V-O characteristics obtained using sodium antimonate.
  • Components were premixed for 20 minutes in a tumbler and then made into resin pellets by being melted and kneaded at a temperature of 320 °C and a screw speed of 200 rpm using a TEM 35B biaxial extruder manufactured by Toshiba Machine; thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) were performed using the resulting resin pellets.
  • TGA thermogravimetric analyses
  • Polyamide Resin Aromatic polyamide resin comprising terephthalic acid and a mixture of hexamethylenediamine and 2- methylpentamethylene-diamine; the diamine component contained 50 mol% hexame ⁇ thylenediamine and 50 mol % 2-methylpentamethylenediamine
  • Magnesium Oxide "Micro-Mag 3-150”; manufactured by Kyowa Kagaku
  • Magnesium Hydroxide "Kisuma 5EU”; manufactured by
  • compositions of the practical examples possessed improved thermal stability and mechanical characteristics.
  • a comparison between the compositions of Practical Examples 1 to 3 and the composition of Practical Examples 6 to 9 shows that excellent thermal stability can be obtained even with the use of highly viscous brominated polystyrenes.
  • the polyamide resin composition of the present invention is a resin composition which possesses excellent high- temperature stability, does not decompose during kneading and molding, and exhibits superb mechanical characteristics even when a highly viscous brominated polystyrene is used.
  • the antimony- induced toxicity is reduced, and moldings obtained using the proposed polyamide resin composition are unlikely to undergo corrosion when used for a long time.
