Abstract
Description
本発明は、例えば輸液バッグに用いられる医療用ゴム栓組成物に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a medical rubber stopper composition used for, for example, an infusion bag.
この種のゴム栓組成物としては、成形性が良いこと、輸液バッグに輸液を注入あるいは取出すための注射針が容易に刺通せること(針刺し性)、針をゴム栓から引き抜いた時に輸液が針穴から漏れないこと、ゴム栓に刺通した針が簡単に抜けないこと(針保持性)が要求される。 This type of rubber plug composition has good moldability, can be easily pierced with an injection needle for injecting or removing the infusion solution into the infusion bag (needle piercing property), It is required that the needle hole does not leak and the needle inserted through the rubber stopper cannot be easily removed (needle retention).
従来、医療用ゴム栓組成物としてはスチレン−エチレン−プロピレン−スチレンブロック共重合体、メルトインデックス23以上のポリプロピレン・パラフィンオイルからなり、JISK−6301に規定する硬さが28のものが提供されている(例えば特許文献1)。
更にスチレン−エチレン−プロピレン−スチレンブロック共重合体、ポリオレフィン系樹脂、非芳香族系ゴム用軟化剤からなり、JISK−6301に規定する硬さが5以上30未満である組成物も提供されている(例えば特許文献2)。
Conventionally, as a medical rubber stopper composition, a styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer, a polypropylene / paraffin oil having a melt index of 23 or higher, and having a hardness specified in JISK-6301 of 28 is provided. (For example, Patent Document 1).
Furthermore, a composition comprising a styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer, a polyolefin-based resin, and a non-aromatic rubber softener and having a hardness specified in JISK-6301 of 5 or more and less than 30 is also provided. (For example, patent document 2).
上記組成物は、成形性、針刺し性および液漏れ性を確保するために、硬さを30未満に設定している。しかし硬さが30以下になると針保持性が悪くなって針が抜け易くなるし、また液漏れ性も実用的に満足するには至っていない、と云う問題点がある。 The composition has a hardness set to less than 30 in order to ensure moldability, needle penetration and liquid leakage. However, when the hardness is 30 or less, there is a problem that the needle holding ability is deteriorated and the needle is easily removed, and the liquid leakage is not practically satisfactory.
本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するための手段として、スチレン−エチレン・ブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体100質量部に対して、軟化剤160〜200質量部、ポリプロピレン15〜40質量部を配合した医療用ゴム栓組成物を提供するものである。
上記スチレン−エチレン・ブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体は質量平均分子量30万〜50万であり、上記ポリプロピレンのメルトインデックスは10以下であり、上記組成物のJIS K 6301に規定する硬さが30〜50であることが望ましい。
In the present invention, as means for solving the above conventional problems, a softening agent of 160 to 200 parts by mass and polypropylene of 15 to 40 parts by mass are blended with respect to 100 parts by mass of a styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer. A rubber plug composition for medical use is provided.
The styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer has a mass average molecular weight of 300,000 to 500,000, the melt index of the polypropylene is 10 or less, and the hardness specified in JIS K 6301 of the composition is 30 to 30. 50 is desirable.
〔作用〕
本発明では、エラストマーとしてスチレン−エチレン・ブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体(SEBS)を使用するから、良好な針保持性を確保するために、硬度を30以上にしても、良好な針刺し性と成形性が得られる。これはブチレンブロック鎖の良好な可撓性によるものと思われる。
しかし硬さが50を越えると、ゴム栓の弾性復元力が不足し、ゴム栓から針を抜いた時、針穴が塞がらず、液漏れが発生する。
上記SEBSの質量平均分子量が30万〜50万の範囲にあると、上記SEBSの特徴が更に顕著に発揮される。そしてポリプロピレン(PP)は組成物の硬さを高める成分であるが、PPのメルトインデックス(MI)が10以下であると、成形性に悪影響が及ぼされない。
[Action]
In the present invention, since styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) is used as an elastomer, in order to ensure good needle retention, even if the hardness is 30 or more, good needle penetration and molding Sex is obtained. This is likely due to the good flexibility of the butylene block chain.
However, if the hardness exceeds 50, the elastic restoring force of the rubber plug is insufficient, and when the needle is pulled out from the rubber plug, the needle hole is not blocked and liquid leakage occurs.
When the mass average molecular weight of the SEBS is in the range of 300,000 to 500,000, the features of the SEBS are more remarkably exhibited. Polypropylene (PP) is a component that increases the hardness of the composition, but if the melt index (MI) of PP is 10 or less, the moldability is not adversely affected.
〔効果〕
本発明の組成物を使用すれば、成形性、特に射出成形性が良好で、かつ針刺し性に優れ、ゴム栓から針を抜いた時に針穴が速やかに弾性復元力によって塞がれることによって液漏れがなく、更に針保持性が良いゴム栓が得られる。
〔effect〕
When the composition of the present invention is used, the moldability, particularly injection moldability, is excellent, and the needle penetration is excellent. When the needle is removed from the rubber stopper, the needle hole is quickly closed by the elastic restoring force. There is no leakage and a rubber stopper with good needle retention is obtained.
本発明を以下に詳細に説明する。
本発明に使用するスチレン−エチレン・ブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体(SEBS)は、質量平均分子量が30万〜50万の範囲にあることが望ましい。質量平均分子量が30万未満の場合には得られるゴム栓の弾性復元力が充分でなく、針を抜いた時に液漏れのおそれがある。しかし50万を越えると、成形性や針刺し性が悪化する。
The present invention is described in detail below.
The styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) used in the present invention preferably has a mass average molecular weight in the range of 300,000 to 500,000. When the mass average molecular weight is less than 300,000, the elastic restoring force of the rubber plug obtained is not sufficient, and there is a risk of liquid leakage when the needle is removed. However, if it exceeds 500,000, the moldability and needle stickability deteriorate.
本発明に使用する軟化剤としては、例えばパラフィン系オイル、ナフテン系オイル、プロセスオイル、エキステンダー、高級脂肪酸、松根油等が例示されるが、SEBS等他の成分との相溶性を考慮すれば、パラフィン系オイルが望ましい。 Examples of the softening agent used in the present invention include paraffinic oil, naphthenic oil, process oil, extender, higher fatty acid, pine oil, and the like, but considering compatibility with other components such as SEBS. Paraffinic oil is preferred.
上記軟化剤は、上記SEBS100質量部に対して160〜200質量部添加される。軟化剤の添加量が160質量部未満の場合には弾性復元力が乏しくかつ硬さが50以上となり、針を抜いた時に液漏れのおそれがあり、また針刺し性が悪化する。軟化剤の添加量が200質量部を越えると、ゴム栓の針保持性が悪化する。 The softening agent is added in an amount of 160 to 200 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the SEBS. When the addition amount of the softening agent is less than 160 parts by mass, the elastic restoring force is poor and the hardness is 50 or more, and there is a risk of liquid leakage when the needle is pulled out, and the needle sticking property is deteriorated. When the addition amount of the softening agent exceeds 200 parts by mass, the needle retaining property of the rubber stopper is deteriorated.
本発明に使用するポリプロピレン(PP)はMIが10以下のものであることが望ましい。MIが10を越えると、組成物の成形性や針刺し性の悪化、弾性復元力の不足による液漏れのおそれ等の不具合が生ずる。 The polypropylene (PP) used in the present invention preferably has a MI of 10 or less. If MI exceeds 10, problems such as deterioration of moldability and needle sticking property of the composition and risk of liquid leakage due to insufficient elastic restoring force occur.
また上記PPの添加量はSEBS100質量部に対して15〜40質量部の範囲とされる。PPの添加量が15質量部未満の場合には、組成物の硬さが不足し、ゴム栓の針保持性が悪化し、また40質量部を越えると、組成物の成形性が悪化する。 The amount of PP added is in the range of 15 to 40 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of SEBS. If the amount of PP added is less than 15 parts by mass, the composition will have insufficient hardness, and the needle retention of the rubber stopper will deteriorate, and if it exceeds 40 parts by mass, the moldability of the composition will deteriorate.
上記成分以外、充填材、顔料、染料、老化防止剤、紫外線吸収剤等が添加されてもよい。 In addition to the above components, fillers, pigments, dyes, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers and the like may be added.
以下に本発明の実施例および比較例によって更に具体的に説明する。
〔実施例および比較例〕
