Description
SPECIFICATION
Thermoplastic resin compositions
This invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition, to sound insulators comprising that composition and to a method for their preparation.
It is well known to add an inorganic filler into a polyolefin in order to improve its physical properties and lower its cost. With an increase in its content of an inorganic filler, however, a polyolefin has hitherto shown a tendency to increase its density and modulus of elasticity, and lose its flexibility, and has not been suitable for molding a product having both a high density and a high degree of flexibility. In order to obtain a resin having a high content of an inorganic filler, and yet a high degree of flexibility, it is generally known to use, for example, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethyleneethyl acrylate copolymer, or an ethylene-a-olefin copolymer in the form of rubber as base material.In order to obtain a highly flexible product from an ethylene-vinyl acetate, or ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, however, it is necessary to use a copolymer having a high proportion of vinyl acetate or ethyl acrylate, which results in a composition having a low melting point, and hence, low heat resistance. A composition containing a high proportion of an ethylene-a-olefin copolymer in the form of rubber is also low in heat resistance, since the rubber per se has a low melting or softening point.
It has now been found that a particular improved thermoplastic resin composition may contain a high proportion of an inorganic filler, and yet retain high flexibility.
According to this invention, there is thus provided a thermoplastic resin composition comprising (A) a polyolefin, (B) an ethylene-ar-olefin, or monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diolefin copolymer in the form of rubber, (C) process oil and (D) an inorganic filler.
The composition obtained by adding an ethylene-a-olefin, or monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbonconjugated diolefin copolymer rubber, and process oil into a polyolefin retains flexibility even if a large quantity of an inorganic filler is added thereto, and provides a thermoplastic resin composition having high degrees of heat resistance and moldability.
In preferred embodiments, the composition comprises 5 to 400 parts by weight of (B) for 100 parts by weight of (A), and 5 to 100 parts by weight of (C) and 10 to 3,200 parts by weight of (D) for a total of 100 parts by weight of (A) and (B).
For the purpose of this invention, the polyolefin may be an a-olefin homopolymer having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, or a copolymer comprising primarily said homopolymer. The preferred homopolymer is polypropylene. Examples of these polyolefins include high-density polyethylene, medium- or lowdensity polyethylene, a crystalline ethylene-propylene copolymer, such as ethylene-propylene block copolymer, a crystalline ethylene-butene-1 copolymer, polypropylene, a crystalline propylene-butene copolymer, poly-butene-1, poly-4-methylpentene-1, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and ethyleneethyl acrylate copolymer, and the mixtures thereof. An ethylene-propylene block copolymer is preferred.
The ethylene-cg-olefin copolymer in the form of rubber may be a bipolymer formed by ethylene and an a-olefin having at least three carbon atoms, such as propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1 and 4-methylpentene-1. It is preferable to use a copolymer between ethylene and propylene or butene-1, and ethylene-propylene rubbers are particularly preferred. The ethylene-a-olefin copolymer rubber is, however, not limited to any such bipolymer, but also includes a terpolymer or other copolymer formed by ethylene, an a-olefin having at least three carbon atoms, and one or more dienes such as 1,4hexadiene, 1 5-hexadiene, di-cyclopentadiene, methyleneorbornene, ethylidenenorbornene, cyclooctadiene and methyltetrahydroindene.A preferred terpolymer is an ethylene-propylene-(nonconjugated diene) rubber, particularly where the diene is ethylidenorbornene, 1 4-hexadiene or dicyclopentadiene. The ethylene-a-olefin copolymer in the form of rubber may have an ethylene content of 20 to 80% by weight, preferably 40 to 70% by weight, and a Mooney viscosity (ML1+4 at 1 000C) of 10 to 1 50, preferably 20 to 120. If a terpolymer or other copolymer is used, it is preferable to use one having a diene content of 5 to 40% by weight.
The monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diolefin copolymer in the form of rubber for use according to this invention may be a random or block copolymer formed by a monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon such as styrene, vinyltoluene, vinylxylene, ethylvinylbenzene, isopropylvinylbenzene, ethylvinyltoluene and vinylnaphthalene, and a conjugated diolefin having 4 to 6 carbon atoms, such as 1,,3-butadiene, isoprene, 1,3-pentadiene, and 2,3-dimethyl-1 ,3-butadiene, and preferably a random or block copolymer of styrene and 1 ,3-butadiene. The copolymer may have a monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon content of 20 to 80% by weight, preferably 30 to 70% by weight, and a Mooney viscosity (ML1+4 at 1 000C) of 10 to 150, preferably 20 to 12Q.
The composition of this invention may contain 5 to 400 parts, preferably 20 to 200 parts, by weight of the ethylene-a-olefin, or monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diolefin copolymer in the form of rubber for 100 parts by weig'ht of the polyolefin. Any amount below 5 parts by weight results in a sharp reduction in the amount of the inorganic filler which can be added, while any excess over 400 parts by weight leads to a reduction in the melting point of the composition, and its heat resistance.
For the purpose of this invention, any process oil may be used, if it can improve the workability of the rubber by lubricating the rubber molecules for their free movement, lowering internal friction to reduce generation of heat upon mixture, assisting the dispersion of the filler, and improving the compatability between the polyolefin and the rubber. It is particularly preferably to use a hydrocarbon having a boiling point of at least 3500C. Examples of such process oil include paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic petroleum fractions having a high boiling point, but it is particularly preferable to use a process oil composed of a paraffinic or naphthenic high boiling petroleum fraction which is highly compatible with the copolymerized rubber.The composition of this invention may contain 5 to 100 parts, preferably
10 to 50 parts, by weight of the process oil for a total of 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin and the rubber. Any excess over the upper limit is hereinabove mentioned may result in a molded product which is low in strength and tacky, while the use of any amount below the lower limit fails to achieve satisfactory extension of the rubber, and effectively improve the flexibility, melt-flow characteristics and moldability of the product as aimed at according to this invention.
The inorganic filler for use according to this invention may be selected from among metals, metal oxides, metal salts, silicates and silicate minerals, and the like. Examples of the metals include iron, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, chromium, molybdenum and maganese; examples of the metal oxides include zinc oxide, titanium oxide, iron oxide, iron sesquioxide, triiron tetroxide, tin oxide, nickel oxide, chromium oxide, molybdenum oxide and alumina; examples of the metal salts include barium sulfate, lead sulfate, calcium sulfate, lead carbonate, barium carbonate, zinc carbonate, calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate; and examples of the silicates and silicate minerals include calcium silicate, silica powder, silica sand, silica, mica, asbestos, talc and clay. One or more of these inorganic fillers may be appropriately selected to suit the use of the molded product to be obtained.While there is no limitation in particular to the particle size which is not greater than 1 50 u, preferably not greater than 100 p in order to ensure the ease of the mixing and molding operations and protect the molding apparatus against any damage by the filler particles. The composition of this invention may contain 10 to 3,200 parts, preferably 20 to 2,500 parts, by weight of the filler for a total of 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin and the rubber. An amount below 10 parts by weight may fail to produce any effect of the inorganic filler in the molded product, while an excess over 3,200 parts by weight may result in the failure to obtain any satisfactory molded product because of its inferior flexibility and melt-flow characterisitcs.If the amount of the filler is expressed in parts by volume, it is preferable to employ not more than 200 parts by volume of the inorganic filler for a total of 100 parts by volume of the polyolefin, the copolymerized rubber and the processoil.
The thermoplastic resin composition of this invention may be used as a sound insulator, and for this application it is desirable to use a filler having as high a density as possible, and incorporate filler in an amount permitting the composition to have a density of at least 1.5 gm/cm3 in order to obtain a satisfactorily high degree of sound insulation, since its sound insulating properties are generally proportional to the logarithm of the product of its surface density (kg/cm2) by the frequency. The amount of the filler to be added depends on its density, and if the filler has a density of, for example, 2 gm/cm3, it is desirable to employ at least 300 parts by weight of the filler for a total of 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin and the rubber, and it is preferred that the final composition, which also contains the process oil, contain at least 70% by weight of the filler.
The composition of this invention may be prepared by a standard melting and kneading or mixing process. For example, the four constituents of the composition may be melted and kneaded together in an internal mixer such as a Banbury mixer, a roll mixer, or the like but at a temperature which is not lower than the melting point of the polyolefin, but not higher than 3000C. It is also appropriate to mix the constituents preliminarily in a Henschel mixer and knead the mixture through an extruder. The process oil and the copolymerized rubber can be mixed with each other before they are mixed with the other constituents.

It is also appropriate to mix the constituents preliminarily in a Henschel mixer and knead the mixture through an extruder. The process oil and the copolymerized rubber can be mixed with each other before they are mixed with the other constituents.
If required, it is possible to incorporate a colouring agent, an antistatic agent, an antioxidant, a lubricant, an unltraviolet light absorber, a heat stabilizer, a surface active agent, or the like into the composition of this invention.
According to this invention, it is thus possible to obtaina thermoplastic resin composition which contains a large quantity of an inorganic filler, and which is superior in flexibility, heat resistance and melt-flow characteristics; this composition can be molded in a customary manner by injection or extrusion molding, or otherwise. The composition of this invention containing a large quantity of an inorganic filler shows a high transmission loss for sound waves as it has a higher density than a polyolefin alone. As it has a lower modulus of elasticity and a higher degree of flexibility than a polyolefin containing the same quantity of an inorganic filler, it does not give rise to any coincidence effect, i.e., the resonance caused by penetration of sound energy into the material through one surface thereof, and emission thereof through the opposite surface. The composition is moreover easy to work.
These and other advantages of the composition according to this invention render it very suitable as sound insulating material. It can, for example, be used as a sheet for protection against noise, roof, wall or floor coverings, aggregates and other building materials, or sound insulating materials for noisy machines, pipelines or the like. In the form of a sheet, it may be laminated on fibre products such as woven or nonwoven fabrics and carpets, sound absorbing materials such as rock wool, glass fibres and foamed polyurethane, or other sound insulating materials such as metal plates, plywood, plaster boards, cement concrete plates and cement mortar plates, or may be sandwiched therebetween to form a triplelayered structure.The composition of this invention may also be laminated on the surface of a structural member in a vehicle, ship, automobile, instrument, machine or the like to damp its vibration and reduce any noise arising therefrom.
The composition of this invention will now be described more specifically with reference to examples, but this invention is not limited by those examples. All parts are shown by weight throughout the examples. The melt index (MI) was obtained in accordance with the testing method of ASTM D-1 238 at a temperature of 2300C and a load of 2,160 g for an ethylene-propylene block copolymer and polypropylene, and at a temperature of 1 9O0C and a load of 2,160 g for a high- or low-density polyethylene and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The modulus in flexure and the density were obtained in accordance with the testing methods of ASTM D--790 and JIS K-6758, respectively. The melting point was obtained by a differential calorimeter.The flexibility was determined by a feel test on a 3 mm thick sheet of the composition prepared by press forming. In the tables, a double circle means 'very soft'; a single circle, 'soft'; a triangle, 'hard'; and an x, 'very hard'.
EXAMPLE 1
An ethylene-propylene block copolymer having an ethylene content of 7% by weight and an Ml of 9, ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) having an ethylene content of 70% by weight and a Mooney viscosity of 70, calcium carbonate having an average particle diameter of 2 y and a paraffinic process oil (Kyodo Sekiyu's R-1 000) were charged into a Banbury mixer in various proportions as shown in
TABLE 1, and kneaded for 10 minutes at a temperature of 1 900C to 2000C. After the kneaded mixture was cooled, it was crushed, and the crushed product was pressed at 200 C and 100 kg/cm2G to form a sheet of each composition having a thickness of 3 mm.A testpiece for use in the measurement of the flexural modulus and density was prepared from the sheet, and the physical properties of each composition were determined, and its flexibility evaluated. The results are shown in TABLE 1, which also shows results for testpieces prepared from 2 compositions not falling within the invention.
