Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a flame resistant molded article.

Conventionally, thermoplastic resin has been used as a plant plate, pipe, pipe joint, sheet as a material having excellent physical properties such as impact resistance and heat resistance and chemical properties such as solvent resistance and acid resistance. It is used for many applications such as film.
However, when it burns, toxic gas, a large amount of black smoke, etc. are generated, and in vehicle applications such as trains, the safety of passengers is impaired in the event of a fire.

As a method for improving the flame retardancy of a thermoplastic resin, for example, a method of adding a flame retardant such as aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide to a vinyl chloride resin has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Further, a method of adding graphite to a vinyl chloride resin has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-25347 JP 09-227747 A

  However, with such a thermoplastic resin composition, Section 83, “Fire Control for Vehicles,” in Section 5 of the “Ministerial Ordinance for Establishing Technical Standards Regarding Railways (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ordinance No. 151, December 25, 2001)” In a combustion test conducted by a method compliant with the above, a large amount of filling is required in order to develop a combustion suppression effect, and therefore, physical properties such as impact resistance and secondary workability such as vacuum formability are significantly reduced. There was a drawback of inviting.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is capable of producing a method for producing a flame-resistant molded article by properly secondary processing a flame-resistant sheet having excellent flame retardancy. It aims at providing the manufacturing method of.

The method for producing a combustion-resistant molded article of the present invention comprises:
A flame-resistant combustion-resistant layer formed of a flame-resistant resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin and graphite and having a [thermal conductivity] defined by [thickness] × [thermal conductivity] of 1.5 mW / K or more It is characterized by including pre-stretching the combustible sheet, and then subjecting it to main molding.
In the method for producing such a flame resistant molded article,
The preliminary stretching is preferably performed by vacuuming, and the main molding is preferably performed by vacuuming using a mold.
The preliminary stretching is preferably performed without using a mold.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the flame-resistant sheet | seat excellent in the flame retardance can be favorably secondary-processed, and a flame-resistant molded object can be manufactured.

It is a general | schematic process figure for demonstrating the manufacturing method of the two-stage combustion-resistant molded object of this invention. It is a general | schematic process figure for demonstrating the manufacturing method of the one-step molded object in a comparative example.

(Manufacturing method of combustion-resistant molded product)
The method for producing a flame-resistant molded article of the present invention is formed by subjecting a specific flame-resistant sheet, which will be described later, to a two-stage treatment, that is, pre-stretching in the first stage and then subjecting to a second stage. Is the method. In this method, it is suitable to use evacuation in at least the second stage, preferably in both the first stage and the second stage.

  First, in the first stage, the flame resistant sheet is pre-stretched. Pre-stretching here means extending | stretching to such an extent that it does not reach the final shape of the combustion-resistant molded object to be obtained. Accordingly, the degree of stretching is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately adjusted according to the final shape of the flame resistant molded article to be obtained. For example, on the surface of the flame-resistant molded body, when there are corner portions where planes extending in different directions intersect or substantially intersect, the curved surface is not enough to constitute such a corner portion. It is preferable to stretch. From another point of view, it is suitable to limit the stretching to about 20 to 90% and about 20 to 80% of the stretching to the final shape of the combustion-resistant molded body to be obtained.

Therefore, in this preliminary stretching, it is suitable to employ means for stretching without using a mold regardless of the final shape of the combustion-resistant molded body to be obtained. Examples thereof include a method of stretching by tension, a method of performing tension and relaxation or loosening once or a plurality of times, and a method of evacuation, and it is preferable to perform evacuation.
When evacuating, it is necessary to create a space that can be evacuated between the combustion-resistant sheet and a predetermined container (or wall, housing, etc., such as a blow box). It is. The evacuation in this case depends on, for example, the final shape and size of the combustion-resistant molded body to be obtained, but it is suitable to evacuate at about 10 cmHg to 72 cmHg.
In addition, before performing predrawing, a combustion-resistant sheet | seat is normally heated uniformly. As a heating method, any of methods known in the art such as a method of directly applying heat from a heater or the like to a combustion-resistant sheet, a method of using warm air, and the like can be used. The heating temperature and time can be appropriately adjusted depending on the material, thickness, and the like of the heat-resistant sheet to be used as described later. For example, it is suitable to carry out at a temperature above the softening point and below the melting point of the combustion resistant sheet to be used. Moreover, about the range for 10 second-10 minutes is mentioned in the range of the thickness mentioned later.

  After the pre-stretching, the combustion resistant sheet may be cooled, but it is preferable to perform the main molding using a mold as it is without cooling.

Next, as the second stage, main molding is performed. The term “formation” means to form the final shape of the flame resistant molded article to be obtained. Therefore, the molding here is usually performed using a mold. In consideration of the case where the final shape is a laminated body, a sheet shape, a plate shape, etc., this die has one uneven shape, a pair of upper and lower dies, and a planar shape such as a press plate. Alternatively, a pair of upper and lower molds may be used.
The main molding may be a method using only the above-described mold as long as the final shape of the combustion-resistant molded body to be obtained can be obtained, but is preferably performed by vacuuming using the mold. .
When performing vacuum drawing using a mold, a vacuum state is established between the mold and a predetermined container (or a wall, a casing, etc.) as described above with a prestretched flame-resistant sheet interposed therebetween. It is necessary to secure a space that can be done. The degree of vacuum depends on the final shape and size of the combustion-resistant molded product to be obtained, but it is suitable to draw a vacuum at about 10 cmHg to 72 cmHg. By such vacuum drawing, one surface of the flame resistant sheet is brought into close contact with the mold surface, and the shape of the mold surface can be accurately reproduced by appropriately following the surface shape of the mold.
Further, at the time of this main molding, it may be carried out in a state where the combustion resistant sheet is continuously heated from the above-described pre-stretching, or after the pre-stretching is completed, it may be cooled once and heated again. You may perform immediately after complete | finishing a heating.

After performing the main molding as described above, a combustion-resistant molded article can be obtained by cooling and releasing the obtained flame-resistant sheet. As a cooling method, for example, ventilation is suitable.
Thus, since the predetermined flame-resistant sheet used in the present invention has improved flame retardancy as described later, it is filled with a large amount of an inorganic substance such as graphite. Therefore, the extensibility during vacuum forming tends to be poor, and problems such as sheet tearing often occur. The part where the sheet is torn often is a part where the sheet is locally stretched as compared with other parts. Therefore, by performing the first stage pre-stretching by the above-described method and uniformly stretching the entire combustion-resistant sheet, local elongation can be suppressed and sheet tearing can be remarkably suppressed.

(Flame resistant sheet)
The flame resistant sheet used in the present invention includes at least a flame resistant flame resistant layer composed of a flame resistant resin composition. The flame resistant resin composition includes a thermoplastic resin and graphite.
As for this sheet | seat, a decoration layer, a coating layer, etc. may be laminated | stacked arbitrarily.
The decorative layer is usually disposed on the surface of the flame resistant sheet. By disposing the decoration layer on the surface of the flame resistant sheet, for example, excellent processing characteristics of the material constituting the decoration layer can be exhibited.
The coating layer is provided on the back side of the flame resistant layer in order to effectively exhibit the flame resistant effect, and to compensate for the deterioration of secondary workability such as impact resistance and vacuum formability due to graphite of the flame resistant layer. It is preferable to arrange in.
Furthermore, in addition to these layers, various functional layers such as a protective layer and an antireflection layer may be formed.
The flame resistant layer may have a multilayer structure with different thermal conductivities. Further, depending on the purpose, it may be a three-layer structure in which coating layers are laminated on both the front and back surfaces of the flame resistant layer, or a laminated structure of four or more layers such as these layers being alternately laminated. It may be. In this case, the decorative layer is preferably disposed on the outermost surface of the combustion resistant sheet.
In addition, in this application, when using a combustion-resistant sheet | seat as interior materials, such as a railway vehicle, the surface exposed to a passenger side is called the surface.

(Flame resistant layer)
The flame resistant layer only needs to be formed of a flame resistant resin composition containing at least graphite and a thermoplastic resin. The flame resistant layer may be a single layer structure made of a flame resistant resin composition, but is formed of, for example, a thermoplastic resin and different types of fillers such as fine metal particles such as copper and aluminum or fine fibers. A multilayer structure in which a layer and a layer formed of a flame resistant resin composition are arbitrarily combined may be used. Thus, by combining specific materials, the excellent characteristics of the materials themselves can be sufficiently exhibited. Thereby, a flame retardance can be improved as interior materials, such as a rail vehicle, for example.

(graphite)
The graphite is not particularly limited, and various conventionally known ones can be used. Either natural graphite or artificially produced graphite may be used. For example, scaly graphite, scaly graphite, scaly (lumpy) graphite, earthy graphite, artificial graphite, expanded graphite, expanded graphite, pyrolytic graphite and the like can be mentioned. These graphites may be refined, dried, fired, pulverized and / or classified. The pulverization process is not particularly limited, and can be performed using a conventionally known apparatus such as a rod mill, a ball mill, or a jet mill.
Thus, by adding graphite to the thermoplastic resin, the flame resistance can be remarkably improved in the flame resistant sheet. Therefore, a combustion test conducted by a method in accordance with Article 83 of Section 5 of the Fire Countermeasures for Vehicles in the "Ministerial Ordinance for Establishing Technical Standards on Railways (December 25, 2001, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ordinance No. 151)" In this case, the effect of suppressing the ignition of the specimen can be expressed.

The carbon source used as the raw material of the graphite described above is not particularly limited, and may be any of naturally occurring materials, artificially produced materials such as natural graphite and quiche graphite.
The shape of the carbon source used as the raw material for graphite and the coke described later may be either solid or powder.

  Scaly graphite is a kind of naturally produced graphite and is conventionally known, and is not particularly limited. Any graphite can be used. Scalar graphite is preferable because it has a large aspect ratio of particles, allows heat to escape more in the plane direction than in the thickness direction, and improves the flame retardancy of the interior material. Further, the scaly graphite includes scaly graphite having a larger aspect ratio, exfoliated graphite, and the like. Generally, the aspect ratio of flake graphite is about 30, and the aspect ratio of exfoliated graphite is about 100.

  Artificial graphite is artificially produced by heating a carbon source as a raw material at a high temperature, and any graphite can be used as long as it is conventionally known. For example, graphite obtained by heat-treating coke includes that produced by pulverizing an artificial graphite electrode produced by heat-treating a binder such as coke and coal tar at a high temperature of 2000 ° C. or higher. What does not contain binders, such as coal tar, is preferred because of its high thermal conductivity.

  The expanded graphite is a conventionally known one, and is not particularly limited, and any one can be used. Usually, it is produced by chemically treating graphite. For example, natural scale-like graphite, pyrolytic graphite, quiche graphite and other powders such as concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, selenic acid and other inorganic acids and concentrated nitric acid, perchloric acid, perchlorate, permanganate, dichromate, Examples include crystalline compounds that maintain a carbon layer structure obtained by inserting an inorganic acid between graphite layers using a strong oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide and performing acid treatment.

The expanded graphite is obtained by expanding the expanded graphite. The method for expanding is not particularly limited. For example, a method of performing a heat treatment for several minutes to several hours at a temperature of several hundred to 1,000 degrees in a furnace and the like can be mentioned.
Expanded graphite expands expanded graphite and then increases the surface area of the graphite by opening the interlayer of the graphite that has been pulverized, thus increasing the probability that the graphites are closer together after molding the flame resistant sheet. Conceivable.

Pyrolytic graphite is artificially produced by heating a carbon source as a raw material at a high temperature, and any graphite can be used as long as it is conventionally known. . Pyrolytic graphite is produced by, for example, heat-treating a coke raw material at a high temperature of 2000 to 3000 ° C. or higher, or by heating the graphite at a high temperature (about 2000 to 3000) in a hydrocarbon atmosphere. And those produced by carbon deposition on the graphite surface. The graphite is not particularly limited, and may be any naturally occurring one, artificially produced one, such as natural graphite or quiche graphite. The shape of graphite and coke may be solid, powder, or the like.
Pyrolytic graphite is particularly preferred because the flame resistance is enhanced by its thin shape and high degree of graphitization by high temperature treatment.
Note that pyrolytic graphite includes graphite obtained by heat treating coke, including coke powder that is heat treated at a high temperature of 2000 ° C. or higher when producing SiC, and has a tendency to increase the thermal conductivity with less impurities. Therefore, it is particularly preferable.

  The size and shape of graphite to be used are not particularly limited, but considering the dispersibility and / or physical properties of the thermoplastic resin, the average particle size is preferably about 500 μm or less, more preferably about 300 μm or less. . Considering the thermal conductivity described later, the larger one is preferable because the probability of contact between graphites increases (the probability of contact with a material such as a thermoplastic resin having low thermal conductivity decreases) and the thermal conductivity increases. In order to ensure a certain degree of thermal conductivity, it is preferably about 15 μm or more. In order to maintain good dispersibility, moldability and the like in the molded body, about 25 μm to 200 μm is more preferable, and about 30 to 100 μm is particularly preferable. If the average particle size is too small, the bulk specific gravity increases, which may cause inconvenience in handling. Here, the particle size is, for example, a value measured by using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer SALD-2200 (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) after sufficiently dispersing graphite in a THF solution.

  In addition, when the flame-resistant sheet of the present invention is used as an interior material for a railway vehicle, the shape of graphite is a thin plate rather than a spherical shape from the viewpoint of delaying ignition by quickly releasing heat from a flame during a fire. The shape is preferable, and this makes it easier to release heat in the surface direction than in the thickness direction, and the flame retardancy of the interior material can be improved. For this reason, those having a large aspect ratio are preferred. In particular, when a combustion-resistant sheet is used as an interior material for a railway vehicle, it is preferable to orient the graphite having a long diameter along the surface direction of the interior material. This makes it possible to efficiently release heat from the flame.

The degree of graphitization of graphite is an index of crystallinity that is directly measured by the half-value width of X-ray diffraction, which will be described later. In graphite, if the value is high (if the half-value width is small), the thermal conductivity becomes high and difficult. From the viewpoint of improving flammability, a higher one is more preferable. For the same purpose, graphite having less impurities is more preferable.
The relative degree of graphitization can be measured, for example, by the following method.
The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the largest peak appearing in the vicinity of 52 ° to 57 ° by 2θ is measured by X-ray diffraction. The smaller this value, the higher the graphitization degree.
For example, when this half-value width is measured using an X-ray diffractometer manufactured by Brugger AXS, the half-value width is 0.47 for earth-like graphite and 0.53 for artificial graphite, and graphitization has not progressed. Graphite, scaly graphite, and pyrolytic graphite are preferable because they are as small as about 0.23 and have a high degree of graphitization, thus increasing the thermal conductivity. Among them, pyrolytic graphite is particularly preferable because it is not only highly graphitized but also thinner and has less impurities.
The graphitization degree of the graphite used in the present invention is not limited, but the above-described half-value width is suitably 0.4 or less, preferably 0.35 or less, more preferably 0.3 or less.

When the content of graphite increases with respect to the flame-resistant resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin, the flame-resistant resin composition, a sheet (single layer) comprising the composition, and the flame-resistant sheet of the present invention Increase the thermal conductivity. Therefore, the content of graphite is, from one point of view, the thermal conductivity of the flame resistant resin composition, that is, the thermal conductivity when the flame resistant resin composition is a single layer is 0.5 W / m · K or more. It is suitable to add in the range. In order to impart higher flame retardancy, such as when used as an interior material for railway vehicles, 1.0 W / m · K or more is preferable, 3.0 W / m · K or more is more preferable, and 4.6 W / M · K or more is more preferable, and 5.8 W / m · K or more is particularly preferable.
The upper limit of the thermal conductivity is suitably 25 W / m · K or less, preferably 13 W / m · K or less, and more preferably 8 W / m · K or less.
In addition, since the content for obtaining the above-described thermal conductivity may vary depending on the type or state of graphite, for example, it is preferable to adjust graphite appropriately in consideration of the content described later.

In the present invention, the thermal conductivity means a value measured as follows.
As an example of a method for producing a test piece, a resin composition is supplied to a twin screw extruder, melt-kneaded, and has a predetermined thickness (for example, 1 mm to several tens mm, specifically 3.2 mm). There is a way to get a sheet.
As another example, the resin composition is supplied to a kneader and melt-kneaded at a temperature of about 185 ° C. to obtain a sheet having a thickness of 1 mm. Next, the plurality of sheets are laminated and supplied to a hot press molding machine, and pressurized at a temperature of 190 ° C. and 7 MPa to obtain a 3.2 mm sheet.
The thermal conductivity is a value specific to the material, but may be affected by the base when the thickness of the measurement target layer is about 10 mm or less or in the case of a laminated structure. When the measurement target layer is about 10 mm or less or in the case of a laminated sheet, only the measurement target layer may be isolated and used as a test piece.
The test piece described above is placed on a standard plate (silicon, quartz, zircon brick) with a known thermal conductivity so that the test piece is closely adhered to the surface of the test piece at room temperature using a thermal conductivity meter. Apply the probe to measure the thermal conductivity. Here, as the thermal conductivity meter, Chemtherm. QTM-D3 (trade name) (manufactured by Kyoto Electronics Industry Co., Ltd.) can be used.
Subsequently, the thermal conductivity of the standard plate and the deviation of the measured thermal conductivity are plotted, and the thermal conductivity is obtained from the intersection of the obtained straight line and the deviation = 0.

In the flame-resistant sheet of the present invention, in order to effectively develop the flame resistance, it is suitable to adjust the thermal conductivity of the above-mentioned flame-resistant layer to a predetermined range. It is preferable to consider the thickness of the combustion resistant layer in the thermal conductivity of the conductive layer.
The total thickness of the flame resistant layer is not particularly limited in either a single layer or a laminate structure of two or more layers, and can be appropriately adjusted depending on the material, required characteristics, and the like. The thicker the flame resistant layer, the greater the flame resistant effect and the lower the graphite content. This is advantageous in terms of physical properties such as impact resistance and secondary workability such as vacuum formability. For example, 0.1 mm or more is mentioned. Moreover, 0.2 mm or more is suitable for the total thickness of a combustion-resistant layer, 0.8 mm or more is preferable and 2 mm or more is more preferable. If the total film thickness of the flame resistance is too small, the flame resistance tends to be hardly exhibited even if the thermal conductivity of the flame resistance layer is increased.
Therefore, the total thickness of the flame resistant layer contributing to heat dispersion is 0.2 mm or more, and [combustion resistant] defined by [thickness of the flame resistant layer] × [thermal conductivity of the flame resistant layer]. It is suitable to adjust the thermal conductivity of the layer] to 1.5 mW / K or more. Further, the amount of heat conduction of the combustion resistant layer is preferably 4.2 mW / K or more, more preferably 7.2 mW / K or more, and further preferably 9.0 mW / K or more. 11.0 mW / K or more is more preferable, and 13.9 mW / K or more is particularly preferable.
In addition, when the flame resistant layer is composed of a plurality of flame resistant layers having different thermal conductivities, [the thermal conductivity of the flame resistant layer] = [of the first flame resistant layer] Thickness] × [Thermal conductivity of the first flame-resistant layer] + [The thickness of the second flame-resistant layer] × [Thermal conductivity of the second flame-resistant layer] +... + It means [thickness of nth layer of flame resistant layer] × [thermal conductivity of nth layer of flame resistant layer].

From another point of view, the graphite content is preferably 12.8% by weight or more based on the total weight of the combustion-resistant resin composition. More preferably, it is 40.0 weight% or more, More preferably, it is 50.5 weight% or more, Most preferably, it is 59.1 weight%. If too much is added, the moldability may be deteriorated, so that it is preferably 80% by weight or less. More preferably, it is 70 weight% or less. Therefore, it is suitable to contain in 30 to 80 weight%, Preferably it is 40 to 70 weight%, More preferably, it is 50 to 70 weight%. By setting it as this range, while being able to acquire a suitable thermal conductivity and a flame-retardant effect, the fall of a moldability can be prevented.
In particular, the addition amount of graphite dominates the magnitude of the thermal conductivity as described above, but since it is also affected by the shape as described later, the manufacturing method of the flame resistant sheet, etc., the above described thermal conductivity is shown, And it is more preferable to adjust suitably in the range used as content mentioned above.

(Thermoplastic resin / combustion-resistant resin composition)
It does not specifically limit as a thermoplastic resin, A conventionally well-known various thing can be used. However, the thermoplastic resin here excludes a resin generally functioning as a processing aid, particularly a processing aid described later. For example, polyolefin resin such as polypropylene resin and polyethylene resin; poly (1-) butene resin, polypentene resin, polycarbonate resin, polyphenylene ether resin, acrylic resin, styrene resin [for example, polystyrene (resistant Impact polystyrene), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin, acrylonitrile-styrene (AS) resin, acrylonitrile-ethylene-propylene-styrene (AES) resin, acrylonitrile-acrylate-styrene (AAS) resin, etc.), polyamide Resin, chlorinated polyethylene, vinyl chloride resin, chlorinated vinyl chloride resin, ethylene copolymer [for example, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer (EMA), Len - ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA), ethylene - butyl acrylate copolymer (EBA), ethylenemethyl - methyl methacrylate copolymer (EMMA), and the like also like including] AES described above. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, vinyl chloride resin with excellent combustion resistance and chlorine with excellent impact resistance and secondary processability can compensate for the decrease in impact resistance due to the addition of graphite and secondary processability such as vacuum formability. Preferred is a modified polyolefin. In addition, when a vinyl chloride resin is used, it is advantageous in that interlayer adhesion becomes stronger when a decorative layer and / or a coating layer containing a vinyl chloride resin is laminated.

Although the molecular weight of the thermoplastic resin used by this invention is not specifically limited, For example, the weight average molecular weight of about 10,000-1 million is mentioned. This weight average molecular weight is a polystyrene-reduced weight average molecular weight measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) of a styrene elastomer (hereinafter, the same method for measuring the weight average molecular weight).
In particular, in the method for measuring the weight average molecular weight of the (meth) acrylate polymer, it can be a value specifically measured under the following conditions.
Apparatus: HLC-8120 (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation),
Solvent: Using THF, a calibration curve is prepared according to the molecular weight of polystyrene having a known molecular weight.
The column is appropriately selected depending on each molecular weight. For example, in the case of 3 million or more,
Column used: GMHHR-H (30) × 2 Solvent: THF, sample concentration: 0.05%, injection amount: 50 μl, flow rate: 0.5 ml / min, the sample concentration is also adjusted depending on the molecular weight.

  Vinyl chloride resin is a copolymer of vinyl chloride homopolymer (vinyl chloride homopolymer), a monomer having an unsaturated bond copolymerizable with vinyl chloride monomer, and vinyl chloride monomer (preferably containing 50% by weight or more). Examples thereof include a graft copolymer obtained by graft copolymerizing a vinyl chloride monomer with a polymer or a polymer. These polymers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  Examples of the monomer having an unsaturated bond copolymerizable with vinyl chloride monomer include α-olefins such as ethylene, propylene, and butylene; vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate; butyl vinyl ether, cetyl vinyl ether, and the like. Vinyl ethers; (meth) acrylic acid esters such as methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, butyl acrylate, and phenyl methacrylate; aromatic vinyls such as styrene and α-methylstyrene; vinylidene chloride, vinylidene fluoride, etc. And halogenated vinyl vinyls; N-substituted maleimides such as N-phenylmaleimide and N-cyclohexylmaleimide; (meth) acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, acrylonitrile and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The polymer for graft copolymerization of vinyl chloride resin is not particularly limited as long as the vinyl chloride resin is graft polymerized. For example, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate-carbon monoxide copolymer , Ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-butyl acrylate-carbon monoxide copolymer, ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer, ethylene-propylene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, polyurethane, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorine And polypropylene. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The polymerization method of the vinyl chloride resin is not particularly limited, and any conventionally known polymerization method can be used. Examples thereof include a bulk polymerization method, a solution polymerization method, an emulsion polymerization method, and a suspension polymerization method.

The chlorinated vinyl chloride resin may be polymerized using a material chlorinated before polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer, or may be chlorinated after polymerizing the vinyl chloride resin.
The method for chlorinating the vinyl chloride resin is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known chlorination method can be used. Examples thereof include a thermal chlorination method and a photochlorination method.

When the degree of polymerization of the vinyl chloride resin decreases, mechanical properties tend to decrease, and when it increases, moldability tends to deteriorate. Therefore, it is preferably about 400 to 2500, more preferably about 600 to 2000, 600 About 1600.
Examples of the method for adjusting the degree of polymerization mainly include the polymerization temperature. In general, the higher the polymerization temperature, the lower the degree of polymerization. The degree of polymerization can be measured according to JIS K 6720-2.

  Chlorinated polyolefins, such as chlorinated polyethylene, are chlorinated parts of polyethylene, and are generally used alone as elastomers with excellent flexibility, weather resistance, heat aging resistance, flame resistance, and chemical resistance. . Further, it is used as a physical property improver for general purpose resins such as vinyl chloride resin, olefin resin, ABS, or rubbers such as EPDM, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, chloroprene, SBR. Of these, chlorinated polyethylene is preferably used. Chlorinated polyethylene can be obtained using a conventionally known chlorination method.

When graphite is added to the resin component, the elastic modulus is remarkably increased and the entire composition becomes rigid, so that the elongation at high temperature required for impact resistance and secondary workability may be lowered. In particular, by using chlorinated polyethylene, the impact resistance reduced by graphite can be efficiently compensated by taking a network structure in a matrix that has become harder and brittle due to the addition of graphite and imparting flexibility, It is considered that the effect of improving elongation at high temperatures is exhibited.
The weight average molecular weight of about 50,000 to 400,000 is suitable for chlorinated polyethylene, and it is preferable that it is in a relatively high range (for example, about 320,000 or more). The degree of chlorination is suitably about 20% to 40%. Furthermore, it is preferable that the molecular weight is about 150,000 to 350,000 and the degree of chlorination is 25% to 36%.
In particular, when other resins are contained in the flame resistant resin composition, by setting the molecular weight within this range, it is possible to prevent other resins (for example, vinyl chloride resin, (meth) acrylate polymer, etc.). It is possible to improve the compatibility by developing entanglement at the molecular chain level. Also, by relatively increasing the degree of chlorination (for example, about 34% or more), imparting a polarity close to that of other resins (for example, vinyl chloride resin, acrylic processing aids, etc.) and improving compatibility. It is thought that you can.

  The content of the thermoplastic resin is not particularly limited, and is preferably adjusted appropriately in consideration of the kind of the thermoplastic resin, secondary processability such as vacuum forming, moldability, and combustibility. For example, the thermoplastic resin is 1% by weight or more, preferably 5% by weight, more preferably 8% by weight or more, and particularly preferably 15% by weight or more based on the total flame-resistant resin composition. Moreover, as an upper limit, it is 85 weight% or less, Preferably it is 60 weight% or less, More preferably, it is 40 weight% or less, Most preferably, it is 30 weight% or less. If the content is too small, the physical properties tend to deteriorate. On the other hand, if the content is too large, the amounts of graphite, other resins, etc. are reduced, and the combustibility and secondary processability may be reduced.

It is preferable that an acrylic processing aid for improving secondary processability is added to the flame resistant resin composition. By adding an acrylic processing aid, the vacuum formability can be improved. The acrylic processing aid is also excellent in compatibility with various combustion-resistant resin compositions.
Examples of acrylic processing aids include (meth) acrylate polymers. The (meth) acrylate polymer is a general term for polymers mainly composed of acrylate monomers or methacrylate monomers, and serves as a processing aid.
For example, homopolymers or copolymers of (meth) acrylate monomers such as methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, butyl (meth) acrylate; the above (meth) acrylate monomers and styrene, vinyltoluene, acrylonitrile And copolymers with other monomers. You may use these individually or in combination of 2 or more types.

The content of the acrylic processing aid can be adjusted as appropriate in consideration of the content of graphite, secondary processability such as vacuum forming reduced by the addition of graphite, formability and combustibility.
In the flame resistant resin composition, when the content of graphite increases, the content of the (meth) acrylate polymer needs to be increased for the purpose of preventing deterioration of moldability. On the other hand, in the case where decoration such as laminate of vinyl chloride resin is applied to the surface layer, in order to determine that there is no ignition (non-combustion) in the vehicle flammability test, the graphite content (ratio to the composition) Therefore, the amount of (meth) acrylate polymer that can be added is limited. Therefore, the content of the (meth) acrylate polymer is 1% by weight or more, preferably 4% by weight, more preferably 12% by weight or more, and particularly preferably 23% by weight with respect to the total weight of the flame resistant resin composition. % Or more. Moreover, as an upper limit, it is 60 weight% or less, Preferably it is 40 weight% or less, 30 weight% or less. For example, 1-60 weight%, 4-40 weight%, 12-40 weight%, 12-30 weight% etc. are mentioned. By setting to this range, it is possible to achieve both improvement in combustion resistance due to the addition of graphite and secondary workability. If the content is too large, the amount (ratio) of the thermoplastic resin is decreased, and the physical properties are further deteriorated.

The vacuum forming of the flame resistant resin composition is generally performed by heating the surface temperature of the resin composition to about 180 ° C to 220 ° C. In such a high temperature state, the tension of the combustion-resistant resin composition, for example, polyvinyl chloride resin may be reduced and may be easily broken. Therefore, a (meth) acrylate polymer having a higher tension in the high temperature region is preferably used. When an inorganic material, particularly a non-spherical type inorganic material such as graphite, is added, it tends to break at a high temperature, so the addition of a (meth) acrylate polymer is effective.
As the compound for improving elongation at high temperature, thermoplastic elastomers such as NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) and Elvalloy, and plasticizers such as DOP (dioctyl phthalate) can be used. From the viewpoint of imparting tension at high temperature ( A meth) acrylate polymer is particularly preferred.

  The weight average molecular weight of the (meth) acrylate polymer is not particularly limited. However, higher molecular weight is preferable from the viewpoint of higher tension at high temperature. For example, it is preferably 1 million or more, more preferably 3 million or more. On the other hand, if the molecular weight is too high, the moldability and physical properties are adversely affected. More preferably, it is 5 million or less.

It is preferable that an impact modifier excellent in impact resistance is added to the combustion resistant resin composition.
The impact modifier is not particularly limited as long as it is usually used in the field. For example, methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene graft copolymer (MBS resin), chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), ABS. Examples thereof include resins and acrylic modifiers. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
Here, the acrylic modifier is at least one acrylic copolymer selected from the group consisting of one of acrylic acid esters or methacrylic acid esters, in particular an acrylic component as a main component, and is crosslinked and spherical. The one that became. Among them, chlorinated polyethylene that can effectively compensate for the impact resistance reduced by graphite by adopting a network structure in a matrix that has become hard and brittle by the addition of graphite and imparting flexibility is suitably used. .
The content of the impact modifier can be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the content of graphite, the type of impact modifier, and the like.

Examples of the additive include a flame retardant, a heat stabilizer, a stabilizing aid, a lubricant, an antioxidant, a light stabilizer, and a pigment for the purpose of assisting the combustion suppressing effect. You may use these individually or in combination of 2 or more types.

  Examples of the heat stabilizer include dimethyltin mercapto, dibutyltin mercapto, dioctyltin mercapto, dibutyltin malate, dibutyltin malate polymer, dioctyltin malate, dioctyltin malate polymer, dioctyltin laurate, dibutyltin laurate, dibutyltin Organotin stabilizers such as laurate polymer, lead white, lead stearate, dibasic lead stearate, dibasic lead phosphite, basic lead sulfite, dibasic lead sulfite, tribasic lead sulfate, Lead stabilizers such as silica gel co-precipitated lead oxalate, lead benzoate, lead naphthenate, metal soap stabilizers such as calcium stearate, barium stearate, zinc stearate, calcium-zinc stabilizer, barium-zinc Stabilizer, barium-cadmium stabilizer, hydrotalcite, zeolite, etc. System stabilizer and the like.

  The stabilizing aid is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include epoxidized soybean oil, epoxidized linseed bean oil, epoxidized tetrahydrophthalate, epoxidized polybutadiene, and phosphate ester.

  The lubricant is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include montanic acid wax, paraffin wax, polyethylene wax, stearic acid, stearyl alcohol, and butyl stearate.

Examples of the antioxidant include phenol-based antioxidants, sulfur-based antioxidants, phosphite-based antioxidants, and the like.
The light stabilizer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include ultraviolet absorbers such as salicylic acid esters, benzophenones, benzotriazoles, and cyanoacrylates, or hindered amine light stabilizers.

These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

When a large amount of filler such as graphite is added, secondary workability is lowered, and the surface decoration layer becomes thin, and problems such as tearing tend to occur. Therefore, in the combustion resistant sheet of the present invention, this problem can be solved by using an acrylic resin that is excellent in followability during vacuum forming. However, when the acrylic resin alone is used, the combustion resistance is lowered, and therefore, it is preferably composed of a mixture with a vinyl chloride resin.
The ratio of the vinyl chloride resin and the acrylic resin in the decorative layer is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately adjusted depending on the balance of combustion resistance, secondary workability, and the like. For example, about 5-95: 95-5 is mentioned, About 10-90: 90-10 is preferable.

The tensile elastic modulus at 23 ° C. according to ASTM D638 of the decorative layer is suitably about 2,500 MPa or less. By setting it as such a tensile elasticity modulus, the outstanding followable | trackability with respect to a sheet | seat can be exhibited at the time of vacuum forming, and defects, such as a tear of a film, can be suppressed.
In addition to the vinyl chloride resin and the acrylic resin, the decorative layer may contain other resins, for example, additives known in the art. Examples of such additives include those similar to various additives that may be contained in the flame resistant resin composition. Substantially, those made of vinyl chloride resin and acrylic resin are preferable.

The composition and thickness of the decorative layer can be determined in accordance with the thickness of the flame-resistant combustion layer, the content of graphite, and the like, further taking into account the above-described heat conduction amount and the like. Thereby, physical properties and secondary workability can be efficiently supplemented without impairing the combustion resistance.
In particular, the decorative layer has a minimum thickness within a range that does not impair the flame resistance, that is, to reduce the influence on the flame resistance or to increase the thermal conductivity within the above-described range. It is preferable. For example, the thickness of the decorative layer may be about 3 mm or less, and is suitably suppressed to about 0.5 mm or less, preferably 0.05 to 0.3 mm.

(Coating layer)
When the coating layer is disposed on the flame-resistant sheet of the present invention, it is suitable to use a highly flame-retardant material (for example, vinyl chloride resin) in consideration of the flame resistance. For example, it is preferably formed of a thermoplastic resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin, more preferably formed of a thermoplastic resin composition containing an impact modifier and / or processing aid, More preferably, it is formed of a thermoplastic resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin, an impact modifier and a processing aid.
One or more thermoplastic resins and impact modifiers can be appropriately selected from those described above. Among them, as the thermoplastic resin, it is preferable to use a styrene resin and / or a vinyl chloride resin.

For example, an alloy of polycarbonate resin and ABS resin (PC / ABS), an alloy of polycarbonate resin and AES resin (PC / AES), and the like can be given.
As the processing aid, the acrylic processing aid described above is preferable.
In this case, 1 to 30 parts by weight of the impact modifier is suitable for 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin in consideration of improvement in impact resistance, heat resistance, mechanical strength, etc., preferably 3 ~ 20 parts by weight. The processing aid is suitable in an amount of 1 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 3 to 20 parts by weight in consideration of improvement in vacuum formability and surface smoothness of the sheet.
