In the method for producing the expandable polystyrene-based colored resin particles, the expandable polystyrene-based colored resin particles are obtained by preliminary dispersion of the acetanilide group-containing dye in a surfactant and an aqueous medium and subsequent addition of the same.

Description

本発明は、発泡剤を含み、着色されたポリスチレン系樹脂粒子からなる発泡性ポリスチレン系着色樹脂粒子とその製造方法に関し、特に、色むらが無く、一様に着色したポリスチレン系着色樹脂発泡成形体を容易に製造することができる発泡性ポリスチレン系着色樹脂粒子とその製造方法、該着色樹脂粒子を発泡させた着色樹脂予備発泡粒子、該着色樹脂予備発泡粒子を型内発泡成形して得られた着色樹脂発泡成形体とその用途に関する。   TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an expandable polystyrene-based colored resin particle comprising a foaming agent and comprising colored polystyrene-based resin particles and a method for producing the same, and in particular, a polystyrene-based colored resin foamed molded article that is uniformly colored without color unevenness. Expandable polystyrene-based colored resin particles that can be easily produced, a method for producing the same, a colored resin pre-foamed particle obtained by foaming the colored resin particle, and obtained by foam-molding the colored resin pre-foamed particle The present invention relates to a colored resin foam molding and its use.

ポリスチレン系樹脂の発泡成形体は、運搬用容器や、包装用容器として広く利用されている。そのうち、鮮魚用や建材用途などでは他容器と区別する目的や、意匠性を高める為に着色して使用されている。   Polystyrene resin foam moldings are widely used as transport containers and packaging containers. Among them, for fresh fish and building materials, it is used for coloring purposes in order to distinguish it from other containers and to improve design.

例えば、鮮魚用ではブルー、パープル、建材用途ではオレンジ、グリーン等に着色された発泡成形体を使用する。一方、グレー色に着色しておくと、汚れが目立たないという利点があるので、構造部材として使用する用途にはグレー色に着色されることが多い。グレー色に着色された発泡性粒子を作るには、着色剤としてこれまでカーボンブラックが用いられるのが一般的であった。   For example, a foamed molded product colored in blue or purple for fresh fish and orange or green for building materials is used. On the other hand, since it has the advantage that dirt is not conspicuous if it is colored in gray, it is often colored in gray for use as a structural member. In order to produce expandable particles colored in gray, carbon black has been generally used as a colorant.

しかしカーボンブラックを含んだ発泡性粒子を作るには、ポリスチレン系樹脂の重合段階で添加する必要があり、発泡剤を含浸させるときに粒子にカーボンブラックを吸収させることができず製造工程が煩雑になる。   However, in order to make expandable particles containing carbon black, it is necessary to add it at the polymerization stage of polystyrene resin, and when impregnating with a foaming agent, the particles cannot absorb carbon black and the manufacturing process is complicated. Become.

一般に、着色された発泡性樹脂粒子を作るには、幾つかの方法が知られている。
例えば、特許文献1(特公平6−10270号公報)、特許文献2(特公平6−23266号公報)にあるように、発泡剤の添加過程で染料を添加する方法が知られている。
In general, several methods are known for producing colored expandable resin particles.
For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-10270) and Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-23266), a method of adding a dye in the process of adding a foaming agent is known.

また、上述の方法において染料又は顔料の離脱を防止するために、被覆剤を用いて染料又は顔料を樹脂粒子表面に被覆する方法があるが、この方法では内部までむらなく着色することができないだけでなく、被覆工程が余分に必要なために製造工程が複雑になるという欠点があった。これら従来処方に使用される染料は、親油性の強いものが使用されている。   In addition, in order to prevent the dye or pigment from detaching in the above-described method, there is a method of coating the surface of the resin particle with the dye or pigment using a coating agent. In addition, the manufacturing process is complicated because an extra coating process is required. As dyes used in these conventional formulations, those having strong lipophilicity are used.

If the molecular weight of the polystyrene-based resin is less than 170,000, the strength of the foamed molded product finally obtained is lowered, and if it exceeds 700,000, it is difficult to obtain sufficient foamability, which is not preferable.

Examples of the high-temperature decomposition type polymerization initiator include t-butyl peroxybenzoate, t-butyl peroxypivalate, t-butyl peroxyisopropyl carbonate, t-butyl peroxyacetate, 2,2-t-butyl peroxy. Examples include butane having a temperature of 100 to 115 ° C. for obtaining a half-life of 10 hours. An excessive addition of a high temperature decomposition type polymerization initiator is not preferable because alcohols as decomposition byproducts are generated. In the polymerization, the decomposition temperature for obtaining a half-life of 10 hours is in the range of 80 to 120 ° C. in terms of adjusting the molecular weight of the polystyrene resin particles and reducing the residual amount of monomer. It is preferable to use a combination of two or more polymerization initiators.

It is more preferable to be within the range, 0.02 to 0.40% by mass is further preferable, and 0.04 to 0.30% by mass is most preferable. When the content of the acetanilide group-containing dye is less than the above range, the degree of coloration of the finally obtained foamed molded product becomes weak. On the other hand, if the content of the acetanilide dye exceeds the above range, it is not preferable because not only the cost increases but also the moldability decreases.

本発明の発泡性ポリスチレン系着色樹脂粒子において、色の異なる2種類以上のアセトアニリド基含有染料又はアセトアニリド基含有染料と別種の染料とを含有させることによって、所望の混色に着色することもできる。混色を得るための染料の種類や組み合わせは特に限定されない。   The expandable polystyrene-based colored resin particles of the present invention can be colored in a desired color mixture by containing two or more different acetanilide group-containing dyes or acetanilide group-containing dyes and different dyes. The kind and combination of the dyes for obtaining the color mixture are not particularly limited.

When the content ratio is less than 3% by mass, it is difficult not only to reduce the density, but also the effect of increasing the secondary foaming power at the time of molding cannot be obtained, so that the appearance of the foamed molded product is deteriorated. On the other hand, if the content ratio exceeds 10% by mass, shrinkage during foam molding, a delay in adjusting the residual gas in the pre-expanded particles, and a molding cycle become longer, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of productivity.

Moreover, if powder metal soaps such as zinc stearate are applied to the surface of the expandable polystyrene colored resin particles, the bonding between the preexpanded particles is reduced in the prefoaming step of the expandable polystyrene colored resin particles. This is preferable.
