2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, polyamide resins have a high mechanical strength,
Because of its excellent heat resistance, automotive parts, machine parts,
Used in fields such as electric and electronic components. In particular, in electric and electronic parts applications, the required level of flame retardancy is increasingly higher, and a higher degree of flame retardancy is required than the self-extinguishing property inherent to polyamide resins.
Numerous studies have been made on the enhancement of the flame retardant level conforming to the UL94V-0 standard of Underwriters Laboratory,
Then, generally, a method of adding a halogen-based flame retardant or a triazine-based flame retardant is used.

For example, addition of a chlorine-substituted polycyclic compound to a polyamide resin (JP-A-48-29846) and addition of a bromine-based flame retardant such as decabromodiphenyl ether (JP-A-47-7134). , Addition of brominated polystyrene (JP-A-51-47044,
175371), addition of brominated polyphenylene ether (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-116054), addition of a brominated cross-linked aromatic polymer (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-317552), brominated styrene-maleic anhydride polymer. Addition of coalescence (JP-A-3-168246) and the like are known.
In particular, a composition in which these halogen-based flame retardants are blended with a polyamide resin reinforced with glass fiber or the like is used for electric and electronic parts, especially for printed laminates, and connected, because of its high flame retardancy and high rigidity. It has been widely used for connector applications.

[0004] However, halogen-based flame retardants are suspected to generate corrosive hydrogen halide and smoke during combustion, and to emit toxic substances. Due to these environmental problems, plastic products containing halogen-based flame retardants have been considered. There are moves to regulate use. For this reason, halogen-free triazine-based flame retardants have attracted attention, and many studies have been made. For example, a technique using melamine as a flame retardant (Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-1714), a technique using cyanuric acid (JP-A-50-105744), and a technique using melamine cyanurate (JP-A-53-31759) No.)
Is well known. The unreinforced polyamide resin composition obtained by these techniques has a high flame retardant level conforming to the UL94V-0 standard, but is reinforced with an inorganic reinforcing material such as glass fiber to increase the rigidity. Even when a large amount of a flame retardant is blended, there is a problem that cotton ignition occurs during combustion and does not conform to the UL94V-0 standard.

On the other hand, halogen-free flame-retardant technology using melamine phosphate, melamine pyrophosphate or melamine polyphosphate as an intumescent type flame retardant in a glass fiber reinforced polyamide resin (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-505875); A flame retardant technology (WO98 / 45364) in which melamine polyphosphate is added to an inorganic reinforced polyamide resin and a char forming catalyst and / or a char forming agent is used in combination has been proposed.
/ 16 inch molded product flame retardant standard UL94V-
It is known that the standard 0 is satisfied.

[0006] However, in these technologies, 1/32 inch is particularly required for connector use of electric / electronic parts.
In order to satisfy the UL94V-0 standard for thin molded products, it is necessary to use a lot of melamine phosphate flame retardants,
For this reason, not only the mechanical properties of the glass fiber reinforced polyamide resin composition are significantly reduced, but also the electrical properties, particularly, the tracking resistance required for electrical components used in a high voltage environment are poor. In addition, when molded at a high molding temperature for a long period of time, mold corrosion is likely to occur, and it has not always been satisfactory as a molding material for electric / electronic parts.

As a technique for achieving a flame retardant standard of UL94V0 for a thin molded article of 1/32 inch, a technique in which melamine sulfate which is an intumescent type flame retardant is applied to a glass fiber reinforced semi-aromatic polyamide resin (Japanese Patent Laid-Open 2000-
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 119512) is disclosed, but also in this technique, it is necessary to add a large amount of a flame retardant to the amount of the polyamide resin component, and there is a problem similar to the above. Furthermore, the flame-retardant standard UL9 for 1/32 inch thin molded products
As a technique for imparting high tracking resistance while achieving 4V-0, a technique (WO 00/09606) of blending an alkaline earth metal salt in addition to a melamine phosphate composite flame retardant with an inorganic reinforced polyamide resin has also been proposed. I have. However, the molded article obtained by this technique is brittle, and when applied to a connector having a complicated shape, for example, there is a problem that the connector is chipped or cracked during handling or transportation. In addition, if the molding is performed at a high molding temperature for a long period of time as in the above, mold corrosion easily occurs, which is not satisfactory.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide extremely high flame retardancy, no generation of highly corrosive hydrogen halide gas during combustion, and excellent mechanical properties and metal corrosion during molding. It is to provide a flame-retardant polyamide composition improved from the above.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that, in a system in which an inorganic filler, a phosphorus-based flame retardant and a polyamide resin are combined, metal oxides and molybdates are selected. It has been found that the above object can be achieved when at least one of the above and a specific copper compound is applied, and the present invention has been completed based on this finding.
That is, the present invention relates to (a) a polyamide resin 30 to 85.
(B) 5 to 40% by weight of an adduct formed from melamine and phosphoric acid, (c) 5 to 50% by weight of an inorganic filler,

Further, a semi-aromatic polyamide resin containing polyamide 66 (polyhexamethylene adipamide) units and polyamide 6I (polyhexamethylene isophthalamide) units as main constituents, particularly a semi-aromatic resin containing 5 to 30% by weight of polyamide 6I units. Group III polyamide resins are more preferred because they exhibit a high degree of flame retardancy when combined with a melamine phosphate flame retardant.

Specifically, the semi-aromatic polyamide resin includes 70 to 95% by weight of a polyamide 66 (polyhexamethylene adipamide) unit and 5 to 30% by weight of a polyamide 6I (polyhexamethylene isophthalamide) unit. The polymer (polyamide 66 / 6I) is preferable because it satisfies heat resistance, molded article appearance, molding processability, and electrical properties.
In particular, a copolymer of 70 to 90% by weight of a polyamide 66 unit and 10 to 30% by weight of a polyamide 6I unit is particularly preferable because it has flame retardancy and good releasability during molding in addition to the above characteristics.

Also, polyamide 66 70-95% by weight
A mixed polyamide of 5 and 30% by weight of polyamide 6I (polyhexamethylene isophthalamide) has high heat resistance and is preferred for applications requiring solder resistance. Also, 60 to 89% by weight of a polyamide 66 unit, 5 to 30% by weight of a polyamide 6I unit, and 1 to 10% by weight of another aliphatic polyamide unit in which a part of the polyamide 66 unit is replaced by another aliphatic polyamide unit.

/ 610) and (polyamide 66 / 6I / 612).

The object of the present invention can be achieved even with a mixed polyamide comprising 60 to 89% by weight of a polyamide 66 unit, 5 to 30% by weight of a polyamide 6I unit, and 1 to 10% by weight of another aliphatic polyamide unit. . Polyamide 6
In the case of a copolymer or a mixed polyamide in which the I unit exceeds 30% by weight, heat resistance, moldability and electrical properties may not always be sufficient.
In the case of a copolymer or a mixed polyamide of less than% by weight, it is necessary to add a large amount of a flame retardant to obtain a sufficient flame retardant level.

The copolymer of the present invention may be either a random copolymer or a block copolymer, and these copolymers may be made of other aromatic polyamide resins as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. May be contained as a copolymer component. The mixed polyamide is a polyamide obtained by mixing polyamides composed of two or more components by a generally used method other than polymerization such as blending and melt kneading. The semi-aromatic polyamide resin of the present invention may have a molecular weight within a range in which it can be molded, and a polyamide resin having a sulfuric acid relative viscosity in the range of 1.5 to 3.5 shown in JIS K6810 may have a molding fluidity. Is particularly preferable because it can maintain good flame retardancy level.

The (b) adduct formed from melamine and phosphoric acid used in the present invention means a product obtained from a substantially equimolar reaction product of melamine and phosphoric acid units. Has no particular restrictions. Usually, melamine polyphosphate obtained by heating and condensing melamine phosphate under a nitrogen atmosphere can be exemplified. Here, as the phosphoric acid constituting the melamine phosphate, specifically, orthophosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hypophosphorous acid, metaphosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, triphosphoric acid,
Tetraphosphoric acid and the like can be mentioned, and melamine polyphosphate obtained by condensing an adduct with melamine using orthophosphoric acid or pyrophosphoric acid is particularly preferred because of its high effect as a flame retardant. In particular, the condensation degree n of the melamine polyphosphate is preferably 5 or more from the viewpoint of heat resistance.

The melamine polyphosphate may be an addition salt of polyphosphoric acid and melamine. Examples of polyphosphoric acid which forms an addition salt with melamine include chain polyphosphoric acid and so-called condensed phosphoric acid, and cyclic polymetaphosphoric acid. No. The degree of condensation n of these polyphosphoric acids is not particularly limited and is usually 3 to 50, but the degree of condensation n of the polyphosphoric acid used here is preferably 5 or more from the viewpoint of the heat resistance of the resulting melamine polyphosphate addition salt. Such a melamine polyphosphate addition salt is prepared by, for example, forming a mixture of melamine and polyphosphoric acid into a water slurry, mixing well to form a reaction product of both into fine particles, and then filtering, washing, and drying the slurry. And, if necessary, calcined, and a powder obtained by pulverizing the obtained solid.

In terms of mechanical strength and appearance of the molded product obtained by molding the composition of the present invention, it is preferable to use a powder obtained by pulverizing melamine polyphosphate to a particle size of 100 μm or less, preferably 50 μm or less. good. The use of a powder having a particle size of 0.5 to 20 μm is particularly preferable because not only high flame retardancy is exhibited, but also the strength of a molded article is significantly increased. Also, melamine polyphosphate does not necessarily have to be completely pure,
Some unreacted melamine, phosphoric acid, or polyphosphoric acid may remain. It is particularly preferable that melamine polyphosphate contains 10 to 18% by weight of phosphorus atoms as a phosphorus atom because a phenomenon that a contaminant adheres to a molding die during molding is small.

Melamine polyphosphate acts as a flame retardant. However, compared to triazine flame retardants represented by melamine cyanurate, melamine polyphosphate has a high degree of difficulty when used in combination with an inorganic filler such as glass fiber. It exhibits a flame-retardant effect, and exhibits a further higher flame-retardant effect, especially when it is blended with a copolymer of polyamide 66 and polyamide 6I and / or a mixed polyamide.

As the inorganic filler (c) used in the present invention, glass fiber, carbon fiber, potassium titanate fiber, gypsum fiber, brass fiber, stainless fiber, steel fiber, ceramic fiber, boron whisker fiber, mica, talc, Fibrous, granular, plate-like, or needle-like inorganic reinforcing materials such as silica, calcium carbonate, kaolin, calcined kaolin, wollastonite, glass beads, glass flakes, and titanium oxide. These reinforcing materials may be used in combination of two or more. Particularly, glass fiber, wollastonite, talc, calcined kaolin and mica are preferably used. The glass fiber can be selected from long fiber type roving, short fiber type chopped strand, milled fiber and the like. It is preferable to use glass fibers that have been surface-treated for polyamide.

Barium oxide is preferred. Particularly, calcium oxide is preferable. Examples of the molybdate include ammonium molybdate, potassium molybdate, calcium molybdate, barium molybdate, strontium molybdate, sodium molybdate, and lithium molybdate. Metal salts are preferred, and calcium molybdate, barium molybdate and strontium molybdate are particularly preferred.

As the copper compound (e) used in the present invention, the effect of inhibiting the metal corrosion by stabilizing the polyamide resin composition, particularly the effect of preventing the mold from being corroded even when molded under high-temperature molding conditions for a long period of time. It has. Copper compounds include salts of inorganic acids such as copper chloride, copper bromide, copper iodide, copper sulfate, copper nitrate, and copper phosphate, or copper acetate, copper stearate, copper myristate, copper naphthenate, and palmitylic acid. Organic acid salts such as copper may be used, and two or more of these may be used in combination.

The above-mentioned metal oxides, molybdates, and copper compounds have an effect of inhibiting metal corrosion even when used alone, but when used in combination, the effects become even more remarkable.
(E) The method of adding the copper compound is not particularly limited. A method in which the polyamide resin is added during polymerization, a method in which the polyamide resin and the flame retardant, and other additives and the copper compound are melt-kneaded using a kneader such as a conventional single-screw or twin-screw extruder or kneader may be used. .

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the flame-retardant polyamide resin composition comprising the components (a), (b), (c) and (d), the proportion of the main component (a) of the polyamide resin is 30. ８５85% by weight. 30
If it is less than the weight%, the moldability and mechanical properties are impaired,
If it exceeds 85% by weight, the flame retardancy and the rigidity may be reduced. (B) The proportion of the adduct formed from melamine and phosphoric acid is 5 to 40% by weight, preferably 10 to 35%.
% By weight. If it is less than 5% by weight, the flame retardant effect is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 40% by weight, problems such as generation of decomposition gas at the time of kneading and adhesion of contaminants to a molding die during molding are caused. In addition, it also causes a significant decrease in mechanical properties and a deterioration in the appearance of a molded product.

(C) The proportion of the inorganic filler is 5 to 50% by weight, preferably 10 to 40% by weight. If the amount is less than 5% by weight, no manifestation of mechanical strength and rigidity is observed. unacceptable. (D) The proportion of at least one selected from metal oxides and molybdates is 0.01 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.03 to 3% by weight. If the amount is less than 0.01% by weight, the effect as a PH adjuster is low, and the effect of inhibiting metal corrosion is not recognized. If the amount exceeds 5% by weight, not only flame retardancy is deteriorated, but also mechanical properties are deteriorated. (E) The proportion of the copper compound is in the range of 0.0003 to 0.1% by weight, preferably 0.0005 to 0.08% by weight. 0.0
If the amount is less than 003% by weight, the effect of inhibiting metal corrosion is not recognized.

The preferred pH of the flame-retardant polyamide composition of the present invention is as follows: 20 g of a composition pellet having a length of 3 to 4 mm and a diameter of 2 to 3 mmφ is immersed in 80 g of distilled water and left naturally at a temperature of 23 ° C. for 24 hours. The PH at that time, and that P
H is in the range of 3.9 to 9.6, preferably 4.1 to 7.8. When the pH is less than 3.9, not only is the improvement in the metal corrosiveness small, but also the decomposition of the polyamide resin itself is promoted, and the mechanical properties are liable to deteriorate. If it exceeds 9.6, dissociation of the flame retardant is promoted, and contaminants may adhere to a molding die during molding. The method for adjusting the PH is not particularly limited. For example, adjustment of the terminal of the polyamide resin, adjustment by the addition of additives, adjustment by the amount of the flame retardant, and the like can be mentioned.

In the present invention, an inorganic flame retardant can be further added within a range that does not adversely affect the mechanical properties and moldability. Preferred flame retardant aids include magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, zinc sulfide, iron oxide, boron oxide, zinc borate, and the like.

The flame-retardant polyamide composition of the present invention contains other components, for example, coloring agents such as pigments and dyes, and general heat stabilizers for polyamide resins, as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. Heat stabilizers (for example, combined use with potassium iodide and potassium bromide), organic heat-resistant agents represented by hindered phenol-based antioxidants, weather resistance improvers, nucleating agents, plasticizers, antistatic agents, etc. Additives, other resin polymers, etc. can be added.
