Description

The present invention relates to a flame retardant thermoplastic polyester resin composition which has a small decrease in tensile strength, particularly tensile strength, even when recycled, and little mold contamination.

Polyester resins such as polybutylene terephthalate resins are widely used in electrical / electronic devices and automobile parts because of their excellent characteristics. When using a polyester resin for these uses, it is generally used as a flame retardant polyester resin composition containing a flame retardant.

Conventionally, halogen-based flame retardants have been mainly used as flame retardants to be blended with thermoplastic resins. However, since halogen-based flame retardants have various problems, it is required to use an alternative flame retardant. In addition, with the recent miniaturization and higher functionality of electronic and electrical equipment, the demand for flame retardance has become increasingly sophisticated, and it has become difficult to satisfy this requirement.

As non-halogen flame retardants, phosphorus flame retardants and nitrogen flame retardants are known, and it is also known to use them in combination. Specifically, for example, a salt of a phosphorus-based flame retardant phosphinate and a nitrogen-based flame retardant triazine-based compound and (iso) cyanuric acid is used together, and a metal borate is added to the salt. It is proposed to use at a ratio (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In the examples, melamine cyanurate is used as a salt of a triazine compound and (iso) cyanuric acid, calcium borate is used as a metal borate, and flame retardancy of UL94 is V-0 with a mold. It has been shown that a resin composition with less contamination can be obtained. On the other hand, Comparative Example 8 shows that when melamine polyphosphate is used instead of melamine cyanurate, flame retardancy of UL94 is V-2 and mold contamination is remarkable.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the thermoplastic polyester resin composition which hold | maintained the various characteristics which were excellent in the thermoplastic polyester resin, and was excellent in the flame retardance can be provided. Even if this resin composition is recycled, that is, after it is once made into a resin molded body, sprue, runner, etc., unavoidable waste materials generated during the production of the resin molded body, etc., through means such as remelting, again Even if it is a case where it is a resin molded body, the reduction in tensile strength of the obtained resin molded body is small (compared to a resin molded body molded from a virgin material).

Taking advantage of such characteristics, waste materials inevitably generated during molding can be effectively used, and can be suitably used for manufacturing small electronic / electrical components that often generate waste materials.

(A) Thermoplastic resin component In the present invention, as the thermoplastic resin component, a thermoplastic polyester resin or a resin mixture containing 10 wt% or less of a thermoplastic polyester resin as a main component is used. The polyester resin may be one type or a mixture of two or more types. As the polyester resin, a polybutylene terephthalate resin or a mixture containing 60% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight or more of polybutylene terephthalate resin is usually used. For example, a mixture of a polybutylene terephthalate resin and a polyethylene terephthalate resin, the former occupying 60% by weight or more, and further 80% by weight or more, is one of the preferable polyester resins used in the present invention.

As is well known, polybutylene terephthalate resin and polyethylene terephthalate resin are produced on a large scale by reaction of terephthalic acid or its ester with 1,4-butanediol or ethylene glycol, and are distributed in the market. In the present invention, these resins available on the market can be used. Some commercially available resins contain a copolymer component other than a terephthalic acid component and a 1,4-butanediol component or an ethylene glycol component. However, in the present invention, a small amount of a copolymer component is usually used. What contains 10 weight% or less, Preferably it is 5 weight% or less can also be used.

The intrinsic viscosity of the polybutylene terephthalate resin is usually 0.5 to 1.5 dl / g, particularly preferably 0.6 to 1.3 dl / g. If it is less than 0.5 dl / g, it is difficult to obtain a resin composition having excellent mechanical strength.

Moreover, it is preferable that the amount of terminal carboxyl groups is 30 meq / g or less. Furthermore, the content of tetrahydrofuran derived from 1,4-butanediol is preferably 300 ppm or less.

The intrinsic viscosity of the polyethylene terephthalate resin is usually 0.4 to 1.0 dl / g, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 1.0 dl / g. If the intrinsic viscosity is less than 0.4, the mechanical properties of the resin composition are likely to be lowered, and if it exceeds 1.0, the fluidity is likely to be lowered. In addition, any intrinsic viscosity is a measured value in 30 degreeC in a phenol / tetrachloroethane (weight ratio 1/1) mixed solvent.

In the present invention, a mixture of a polyester resin and another resin can also be used as the thermoplastic resin component. The content of the other resin is preferably 10% by weight or less, particularly preferably 8.5% by weight or less in the thermoplastic resin component so as not to impair the properties of the polyester resin. Any resin can be used as long as it is compatible with the polyester resin. Among them, a styrene resin is preferable.

Of these, aluminum diethylphosphinate is preferable from the viewpoint of flame retardancy and electrical characteristics.

Furthermore, in the present invention, from the viewpoint of the appearance and mechanical strength of the resin molded product obtained from the resin composition of the present invention, the phosphinic acid salt has a particle diameter of 100 μm or less as measured by a laser diffraction method, particularly an average particle. It is preferable to use one having a diameter of 50 μm or less.

The lower limit of the average particle size is not particularly limited, but usually it is not necessary to reduce the particle size by pulverization or the like until it falls below 0.5 μm, and the normal lower limit is sufficient if the average particle size is 1 μm by pulverization or the like. . Such a fine powder is particularly preferable because it not only exhibits high flame retardancy but also significantly increases the strength of the molded product.

(A) The compounding quantity of (B) phosphinic acid salt with respect to 100 weight part of thermoplastic resin components is 10-40 weight part. If the blending amount is less than 10 parts by weight, the desired flame retardancy is not exhibited in the resin composition. On the contrary, if the amount exceeds 40 parts by weight, the moldability of the resin composition deteriorates and the mechanical strength also decreases. Among them, a suitable blending amount of the phosphinate is 20 to 35 parts by weight, particularly 25 to 35 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the (A) thermoplastic resin component.

In the present invention, it is important to use a salt of an amino group-containing triazine compound and an inorganic acid having an average particle diameter of 10 μm or less by laser diffraction. Inorganic acid salts with an average particle size of more than 10 μm, and organic acid salts with an average particle size of 10 μm or less are excellent in flame retardancy, have high tensile strength, and have excellent recyclability. A composition cannot be obtained.

Among inorganic acid salts having an average particle size of 10 μm or less, it is preferable to use those having an average particle size of 6 μm or less in terms of giving a resin composition with less mold contamination and superior tensile strength and recyclability. . The lower limit of the particle size of the salt of the amino group-containing triazine compound used in the present invention and the inorganic acid is not particularly limited, but those having a particle size of less than 1 μm are difficult to handle and melt. -Since it is difficult to disperse uniformly during kneading, the lower limit is usually 1 μm as the average particle diameter.

In the present invention, (C) a salt of an amino group-containing triazine compound and an inorganic acid is contained in an amount of 5 to 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (A) the thermoplastic resin component. If it is less than 5 parts by weight, the desired flame retardant effect does not appear. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 30 parts by weight, the productivity is remarkably lowered and the mold contamination is deteriorated.

The preferable content of the salt of the amino group-containing triazine compound and the inorganic acid with respect to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin component is 5 to 20 parts by weight, particularly 5 to 15 parts by weight. In addition, since the combined use of the salt of an amino group-containing triazine compound and an inorganic acid and the above-described phosphinate has a synergistic effect, the weight ratio (B / C) of the latter salt to the former salt is 1. It is preferably 1 or more, particularly 1.5 to 4.

(D) Phosphorus stabilizer Any phosphorus stabilizer can be used as long as it is commonly used in resin compositions. Among these, phosphite ester stabilizers, particularly phosphite ester stabilizers having a structure partially or completely esterified with a long-chain alcohol or an alkyl-substituted phenol are preferred.

Zinc borate is contained in an amount of 10 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin component (A), and preferably 1 to 8 parts by weight, particularly 1 to 6.5 parts by weight. In addition, as a boric acid metal salt generally contained in the resin composition, those other than zinc salts such as calcium borate are also used, but in the resin composition according to the present invention, calcium borate or the like is contained. Not only the physical property retention after recycling is greatly reduced, but also the initial physical properties are greatly reduced.

(F) Inorganic filler The resin composition of the present invention can contain an inorganic filler to improve its mechanical properties. Any conventional inorganic filler can be used. Specific examples include fibrous inorganic fillers such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, and mineral fibers. Among these, glass fibers are preferably used. In the present invention, the inorganic filler is preferably 100 parts by weight or less, more preferably 20 to 80 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin component (A).

The resin composition of the present invention may further contain a conventional resin additive or auxiliary agent as necessary. Specifically, for example, a fluororesin as an anti-dripping agent, an antioxidant such as a hindered phenol compound, a colorant, a release agent, and the like can be given.

The resin composition of the present invention can be produced by melting and kneading each component of the raw material so as to be uniform with a melting and kneading apparatus generally used for thermoplastic resins. Examples of the melting / kneading apparatus include a single-screw or multi-screw extruder and a roll. In particular, it is preferable to use a twin screw extruder, and all the raw materials are put into a mixer at a predetermined ratio, mixed uniformly, then put into a hopper of the twin screw extruder, melted and kneaded, and pelletized. It can be manufactured by the method.

In addition, when using a fibrous material such as glass fiber as the inorganic filler, feeding from a side feeder in the middle of the cylinder of the extruder prevents damage to the extruder and prevents crushing of the filler. preferable.
