Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
有機結合材、体質材、充填材、可塑剤などの原材料を混練、細線状に押出成形後、焼成温度まで熱処理を施してなる鉛筆芯の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、鉛筆芯は、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、塩素化ポリエチレン、尿素樹脂、メラミン樹脂、フラン樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリアクリルアミド、ブチルゴムといった適宜の有機結合材と、黒鉛、窒化ホウ素といった体質材と、カーボンブラック、ホワイトカーボン、無定形シリカといった無機微粉末の充填材と、フタル酸エステルなどの可塑剤とを主材として使用し、メチルエチルケトンなどの溶剤、ステアリン酸塩などの安定剤、ステアリン酸などの滑材を必要に応じて併用し、これらの配合原材料をニーダー、3本ロールなどで混練し、細線状に押出成形した後、焼成温度まで熱処理を施し、更に必要に応じて、シリコン油、流動パラフィン、スピンドル油、パラフィンワックス、マイクロクリスタリンワックス、ポリエチレンワックス、モンタンワックス、カルナバワックスといった適宜油状物を含浸させて製造している。
【0003】
ところで、鉛筆芯の曲げ強さと濃度には逆相関関係、即ち、曲げ強さを向上させようとすると鉛筆芯が摩耗しづらくなり、その結果として濃度が低下してしまい、逆に濃度を高くしようとすると、曲げ強さが低下してしまうという関係がある。又、この逆相関関係を改善させようと様々な発明が報告されており、本発明の主材として用いる充填材に関するものも種々ある。
【0004】
実公昭62−3377号公報には、充填材として無定形シリカを用いた例として「酸化硅素微粒子の鉛筆芯中における分布を黒鉛近傍で大とした」というものがある(特許文献1参照)。又、特公昭63−1199号公報には、着色材を結合材及び可塑剤吸着物質でコーティング後、該コーティングされた着色材、結合材及び可塑剤を混練し、その後押出成形及び熱処理したりするもので、この可塑剤吸着物質として無定形シリカの使用を示唆したものがある(特許文献2参照)。更に、特開平1−8098号公報には、同じく可塑剤吸着物質として無定形シリカの使用を示唆して、有機結合材や体質材などの材料を、可塑剤を使用しながら混練、成形後、焼成処理を施して鉛筆芯を製造するにあたり、材料の一つとして可塑剤吸着性の無機粉末を使用し、また、可塑剤として分子量の異なる複数のものを使用し、このうち比較的高分子量のものを前記無機粉末に吸着させておく鉛筆芯の製造方法というものがある(特許文献3参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記3つの発明は、充填材として無定形シリカなどを使用することにより鉛筆芯の曲げ強さと濃度との逆相関関係の改善を図ったものであると同時に、充填材として無定形シリカなどを単に添加使用しただけでは親水性の無定形シリカの表面に存在するシラノール基がシリカ粒子間に強い相互作用を及ぼし、その水素架橋結合の働きにより、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、塩素化ポリエチレン、尿素樹脂、メラミン樹脂、フラン樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリアクリルアミド、ブチルゴムといった適宜の有機結合材に対する増粘・吸着効果が必要以上に発揮され、材料中での均一分散が困難となり、充填材としての無定形シリカの材料中での偏在化が発生してしまい、その結果として材料の押出成形時や熱処理時に鉛筆芯表面に割れや脹れなどの外観不良が発生し易くなる(この現象は無定形シリカの使用添加量が多いほど顕著になる)、という問題の防止をも図ったものである。そのために、無定形シリカの鉛筆芯体中での存在位置を特定したり、可塑剤を選択的に吸収させるなどの工夫を施している。しかしながら、これらの方法は、作業面での煩雑さなどがあり、問題の根本的な解決には至っておらず、新たな解決方法が望まれていた。本発明は、それらの問題を解決し、鉛筆芯の曲げ強さと濃度との逆相関関係を改善するものであり、即ち、曲げ強さと濃度とのバランスに優れた鉛筆芯を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、少なくとも原材料中に疎水性無定形シリカを含有し、混練した原材料を細線状に押出成形後、焼成温度まで熱処理を施してなる鉛筆芯の製造方法を要旨とする。
【0008】
以下、詳述する。
疎水性無定形シリカは、無定形シリカの表面を化学反応により疎水化したものであり、一般的な親水性の無定形シリカに対して「特殊品」や「表面処理グレード」などと呼ばれるもので、表面の官能基の種類により種々のグレードがある。
一例としては、表面をCH基で覆ったもの、シリコーンオイルで表面処理したもの、オクチルシランで表面処理したもの、トリメチルシリル基で表面処理したもの、メチルクロロシランで表面処理したものなどがあり、市販品としては、日本アエロジル(株)製の「アエロジル」シリーズのR972、R974、R202、R805、R812、R812Sや、(株)トクヤマ製の「レオロシール」シリーズのMT−10、MT−10C、DM−10、DM−10C、DM−20、DM−30、HM−20L、PM−20L、KS−20Sなどが挙げられる。
疎水性無定形シリカの使用量については、一般に使用量が多いほど充填効果が強くなるため、強度は高くなるが、あまりに多いと鉛筆芯の密度が高くなり過ぎて摩耗しづらくなり、濃度が低下してしまうため、有機結合材全量に対して1〜20重量%、好ましくは2〜10%程度にしておくと概ね良好である。
【0009】
本発明で使用する可塑剤としては、フタル酸ジオクチル、フタル酸ジブチル、リン酸トリクレジル、アジピン酸ジオクチル、プロピレンカーボネートなどの一般的な可塑剤が使用できるが、少なくとも可塑剤の一部としてジプロピレングリコールジベンゾエートを使用することが、曲げ強さと濃度とのバランスに優れた鉛筆芯を提供するための一助となる。ジプロピレングリコールジベンゾエートは、安息香酸とジプロピレングリコールとのジエステルであるが、材料混練時の均一分散性を向上させる効果がある。そして、充填材としての疎水性無定形シリカと併用することにより、その効果が更に向上する。ジプロピレングリコールジベンゾエートの使用量については、あまりに少ないと効果が発現されないため、可塑剤全量に対して50重量%以上使用することが好ましい。
【0010】
上記以外の使用材料としては、従来公知の材料を使用することができる。体質材としては、一般的な、燐状黒鉛、鱗片状黒鉛、土壌黒鉛、人造黒鉛、窒化ホウ素あるいはタルクなどの中より選択された一種もしくは二種以上のものを例示できるが、疎水性無定形シリカとのなじみの良さから黒鉛を使用することが好ましい。更に、必要に応じて、ステアリン酸塩などの安定剤、ステアリン酸などの滑材、メチルエチルケトン、水などの溶剤などを適宜併用した材料をヘンシェルミキサーなどによる混合、ニーダー、3本ロールなどによる混練の後、細線状に押出成形し、1000℃程度の焼成温度まで熱処理を施し、更に必要に応じて、シリコン油、流動パラフィン、スピンドル油、パラフィンワックス、マイクロクリスタリンワックス、ポリエチレンワックス、モンタンワックス、カルナバワックスといった適宜油状物を含浸させて、所望の鉛筆芯とする。
【0011】
【作用】
疎水性無定形シリカは、無定形シリカの表面を化学反応により疎水化したものであり、シリカ粒子間の相互作用が弱いために上述した有機結合材に対する増粘・吸着効果も弱く、有機結合材とのなじみが良く、その使用量に係わらず材料中での均一分散が極めて容易で且つ安定なものとなる。そのため、材料の押出成形時や熱処理時に鉛筆芯表面に割れや脹れなどの外観不良が発生しなくなり、その効果は疎水性無定形シリカの使用添加量が多くなっても変わらない。更に、疎水性無定形シリカは表面疎水化を図っているために親水性無定形シリカと異なり炭素を含有している。この含有炭素が焼成処理を施した際に炭化物として残存し、体質材として黒鉛を使用した場合には、その黒鉛とのなじみを一層良くさせる働きもある。この効果は疎水性無定形シリカとして、表面基にメチル基を含有したものほど強くなるため、特に好ましいものと言える。これは、表面基にメチル基を含有したものほど、焼成処理を施した際の残存炭化物量が多過ぎず、黒鉛とのなじみを良くするのに好適な量であるためと考えられる。また、これに加えて、ジプロピレングリコールジベンゾエートを併用することで、材料の均一分散性が更に向上し、有機結合材・体質材・充填材それぞれの結びつきを格段に向上させる。その結果として、材料の押出成形時や熱処理時に鉛筆芯表面に割れや脹れなどの外観不良を発生させることなく、曲げ強さと濃度とのバランスに優れた鉛筆芯を提供することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a pencil lead obtained by kneading raw materials such as an organic binder, a filler, a filler, and a plasticizer, extruding into a fine wire shape, and then performing a heat treatment to a firing temperature.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, a pencil lead is made of an appropriate organic binder such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, urea resin, melamine resin, furan resin, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, and butyl rubber, and a body material such as graphite and boron nitride. Using inorganic fine powder fillers such as carbon black, white carbon and amorphous silica and plasticizers such as phthalate as main ingredients, solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, stabilizers such as stearates, stearic acid, etc. If necessary, these materials are kneaded with a kneader, three rolls or the like, extruded into a thin wire, heat-treated to a firing temperature, and further, if necessary, silicone oil, Liquid paraffin, spindle oil, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax Polyethylene wax, montan wax, and prepared by impregnating a suitable oil, such as carnauba wax.
[0003]
By the way, there is an inverse relationship between the bending strength of the pencil lead and the density, that is, when trying to improve the bending strength, the pencil lead becomes difficult to wear, and as a result, the density is reduced, and conversely, the density is increased. Then, there is a relationship that the bending strength is reduced. Various inventions have been reported to improve the inverse correlation, and there are various fillers used as the main material of the present invention.
[0004]
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 62-3377 discloses an example in which amorphous silica is used as a filler, "the distribution of silicon oxide fine particles in a pencil lead is increased near graphite" (see Patent Document 1). Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-1199 discloses that a colorant is coated with a binder and a plasticizer-adsorbing substance, and then the coated colorant, binder and plasticizer are kneaded, and then extruded and heat-treated. Some have suggested the use of amorphous silica as the plasticizer-adsorbing substance (see Patent Document 2). Further, JP-A-1-8098 also suggests the use of amorphous silica as a plasticizer-adsorbing substance, and kneading materials such as organic binders and extenders using a plasticizer, after molding, In producing a pencil lead by baking, a plasticizer-adsorbing inorganic powder is used as one of the materials, and a plurality of plasticizers having different molecular weights are used. There is a method for producing a pencil lead in which the substance is adsorbed on the inorganic powder (see Patent Document 3).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above three inventions are intended to improve the inverse correlation between the bending strength of the pencil lead and the concentration by using amorphous silica or the like as a filler, and at the same time, simply using amorphous silica or the like as a filler. Silanol groups present on the surface of hydrophilic amorphous silica have a strong interaction between silica particles when used alone, and their hydrogen cross-linking acts to make polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, and urea. Unnecessary thickening / adsorption effects on appropriate organic binders such as resin, melamine resin, furan resin, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, and butyl rubber, making uniform dispersion in the material difficult and amorphous as a filler Silica is unevenly distributed in the material, and as a result, the surface of the pencil core Easily becomes defective appearance occurs, such that Ya swelling (this phenomenon becomes remarkable the more the added amount used of amorphous silica), in which also aimed to prevent problem. For this purpose, various measures have been taken, such as specifying the position of amorphous silica in the pencil core, and selectively absorbing the plasticizer. However, these methods are complicated in terms of work and have not reached a fundamental solution to the problem, and new solutions have been desired. The present invention solves these problems and improves the inverse correlation between bending strength and density of a pencil lead, that is, to provide a pencil lead excellent in balance between bending strength and density. And
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gist of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a pencil lead, wherein at least the raw material contains hydrophobic amorphous silica, and the kneaded raw material is extruded into a thin wire and then heat-treated to a firing temperature.
[0008]
The details will be described below.
Hydrophobic amorphous silica is obtained by making the surface of amorphous silica hydrophobic by a chemical reaction, and is called “special product” or “surface treatment grade” for general hydrophilic amorphous silica. There are various grades depending on the type of functional group on the surface.
Examples include those whose surfaces are covered with CH 3 groups, those that have been surface treated with silicone oil, those that have been surface treated with octylsilane, those that have been surface treated with trimethylsilyl groups, and those that have been surface treated with methylchlorosilane. Products include R972, R974, R202, R805, R812, R812S of the "Aerosil" series manufactured by Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd., and MT-10, MT-10C, DM-DM of the "Leoro Seal" series manufactured by Tokuyama Corporation. 10, DM-10C, DM-20, DM-30, HM-20L, PM-20L, KS-20S and the like.
Regarding the amount of hydrophobic amorphous silica used, generally, the larger the amount used, the stronger the filling effect, so the strength is high, but if it is too large, the density of the pencil core becomes too high and it is difficult to wear, and the concentration decreases. Therefore, it is generally good to set the content to 1 to 20% by weight, preferably 2 to 10% by weight based on the total amount of the organic binder.
[0009]
As the plasticizer used in the present invention, general plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, tricresyl phosphate, dioctyl adipate, and propylene carbonate can be used. The use of dibenzoate helps to provide a pencil lead with a good balance between flexural strength and concentration. Dipropylene glycol dibenzoate is a diester of benzoic acid and dipropylene glycol, and has an effect of improving uniform dispersibility during kneading of the materials. The effect is further improved when used in combination with hydrophobic amorphous silica as a filler. If the amount of dipropylene glycol dibenzoate is too small, no effect is exhibited, so it is preferable to use 50% by weight or more based on the total amount of the plasticizer.
[0010]
As a material to be used other than the above, a conventionally known material can be used. Examples of the extender include one or more materials selected from general phosphorous graphite, flaky graphite, soil graphite, artificial graphite, boron nitride, talc, and the like. It is preferable to use graphite because of its good compatibility with silica. Further, if necessary, a material such as a stabilizer such as a stearic acid salt, a lubricant such as stearic acid, a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone and water, etc., which are appropriately used in combination, may be mixed with a Henschel mixer or the like, or kneaded with a kneader or three rolls. After that, it is extruded into a thin wire and heat-treated to a sintering temperature of about 1000 ° C. If necessary, silicon oil, liquid paraffin, spindle oil, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, polyethylene wax, montan wax, carnauba wax And a suitable pencil lead.
[0011]
[Action]
Hydrophobic amorphous silica is obtained by making the surface of amorphous silica hydrophobic by a chemical reaction. Since the interaction between the silica particles is weak, the thickening / adsorption effect on the organic binder described above is also weak. And uniform dispersion in the material is extremely easy and stable irrespective of the amount used. Therefore, appearance defects such as cracks and swelling do not occur on the surface of the pencil core during extrusion molding or heat treatment of the material, and the effect does not change even when the amount of the hydrophobic amorphous silica used increases. Further, the hydrophobic amorphous silica contains carbon unlike the hydrophilic amorphous silica because the surface is made hydrophobic. This contained carbon remains as a carbide when subjected to the calcination treatment, and when graphite is used as a constitutional material, it also has a function of further improving the compatibility with the graphite. This effect is particularly preferable because hydrophobic amorphous silica having a methyl group in the surface group becomes stronger. This is presumably because the more the surface group contains a methyl group, the more the amount of residual carbides after firing treatment is not too large, which is an amount suitable for improving the compatibility with graphite. In addition, by using dipropylene glycol dibenzoate in combination, the uniform dispersibility of the material is further improved, and the binding of the organic binder, the body material, and the filler is remarkably improved. As a result, it is possible to provide a pencil lead having an excellent balance between bending strength and concentration without causing appearance defects such as cracks and swelling on the surface of the pencil lead during extrusion molding or heat treatment of the material.
