Description

本発明は、発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子、ポリスチレン系発泡粒子、及びビーズクッション材に関するものである。 The present invention relates to effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles, polystyrene-based effervescent particles, and bead cushioning material.

発泡性ポリスチレン系粒子は安価で発泡、成形が容易であり、緩衝性能、断熱性能に優れることから、広く使用されている。 Effervescent polystyrene particles are widely used because they are inexpensive, easy to foam and mold, and have excellent cushioning and heat insulating properties.

発泡性ポリスチレン系粒子の緩衝性能を利用した用途の一つとして、布製の袋などの袋体の内部にポリスチレン系発泡粒子(以下、単に発泡粒子と記載することがある)を封入したビーズクッションがあり、クッション、ソファー、枕(以下、まとめてクッションと記載することがある)などとして提供されている。ビーズクッションは、袋体内で発泡粒子が自由に動くことにより、着座時などにその衝撃を吸収し、体形に合った座面に容易に変形する。また、着座時における体圧分布の多方向への分散性が良好であることなどから座り心地に優れている。また、ビーズクッションを敷き布団として使用した場合には、褥そう防止などにも効果がみられる。 As one of the applications utilizing the cushioning performance of polystyrene-based foamable particles, a bead cushion in which polystyrene-based foamed particles (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as foamed particles) are enclosed inside a bag such as a cloth bag. Yes, it is provided as cushions, sofas, pillows (hereinafter, may be collectively referred to as cushions), etc. The bead cushion absorbs the impact when the foamed particles move freely in the bag, such as when sitting, and easily deforms into a seating surface suitable for the body shape. In addition, it is excellent in sitting comfort because the body pressure distribution at the time of sitting is well dispersed in multiple directions. In addition, when the bead cushion is used as a mattress, it is also effective in preventing swelling.

このビーズクッションを製造する際、袋体の内部に発泡粒子を充填する工程で発生する静電気が充填不良や埃の付着を引き起こすため、通常、特許文献1から3に記載されているように、帯電防止剤が使用されることが知られている。例えば、特許文献1では分子中に一つのアミノ基及び二つのヒドロキシル基を有するヒドロキシアルキルアミンをビーズクッション用の帯電防止剤として使用している。特許文献2では、帯電防止剤として主にポリエチレングリコールを使用し、帯電量の絶対値が5kV以下のクッション用発泡性ポリスチレンを提供している。特許文献3では、帯電防止剤としてカチオン系界面活性剤とノニオン系界面活性剤をポリスチレン系発泡性樹脂粒子の発泡剤含浸工程で導入することで優れた帯電防止性能を有する発泡成形体を得ている。 When manufacturing this bead cushion, static electricity generated in the process of filling the foam particles inside the bag causes improper filling and adhesion of dust. Therefore, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is usually charged. It is known that inhibitors are used. For example, Patent Document 1 uses a hydroxyalkylamine having one amino group and two hydroxyl groups in the molecule as an antistatic agent for a bead cushion. Patent Document 2 mainly uses polyethylene glycol as an antistatic agent, and provides foamable polystyrene for cushions having an absolute value of 5 kV or less. In Patent Document 3, a cationic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant are introduced as antistatic agents in the foaming agent impregnation step of polystyrene-based foamable resin particles to obtain a foamed molded product having excellent antistatic performance. There is.

しかしながら、特許文献1に開示されているヒドロキシアルキルアミンは、帯電防止性能に優れるものの、帯電防止剤が高湿度下で発泡性樹脂粒子の流動性を悪化させやすいことから、湿度が高い環境ではクッション充填性を悪化させる可能性がある。また、特許文献2では、帯電防止剤が使用されているものの、その使用量が不足しているため、クッション充填性が安定化する帯電防止性能としては十分でない。さらに、特許文献3では、多量の帯電防止剤を使用しているため、吸湿による流動性悪化が生じやすく、発泡時のブロッキングも発生しやすい懸念がある。本発明は上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、発泡時のブロッキングの発生が少なく、ポリスチレン系発泡粒子とした際の帯電防止性能に優れ、かつ吸湿による流動性悪化も起こりにくい、発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子、ポリスチレン系発泡粒子、及びクッションビーズ材を提供することである。 However, although the hydroxyalkylamine disclosed in Patent Document 1 has excellent antistatic performance, the antistatic agent tends to deteriorate the fluidity of the foamable resin particles under high humidity, so that the hydroxyalkylamine is cushioned in a high humidity environment. It may worsen the filling property. Further, in Patent Document 2, although an antistatic agent is used, the amount used is insufficient, so that the antistatic performance for stabilizing the cushion filling property is not sufficient. Further, in Patent Document 3, since a large amount of antistatic agent is used, there is a concern that fluidity is likely to deteriorate due to moisture absorption and blocking during foaming is likely to occur. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and foamable polystyrene is less likely to cause blocking during foaming, has excellent antistatic performance when polystyrene-based foamed particles are used, and is less likely to cause deterioration of fluidity due to moisture absorption. It is an object of the present invention to provide based resin particles, polystyrene foamed particles, and cushion bead material.

本発明者らは、鋭意検討の結果、平均粒子径が0.25mm以上0.5mm以下である発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子であって、発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子本体の表面に、帯電防止剤として脂肪酸モノグリセライドを特定量含有し、ブロッキング防止剤としてステアリン酸マグネシウムを特定量含有することで、発泡時のブロッキングの発生が少なく、ポリスチレン系発泡粒子とした際の帯電防止性能に優れ、かつ吸湿による流動性悪化も起こりにくい発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子を得られることを見出し、本発明に至った。すなわち、本発明は、以下のとおりである。

以下、本発明の一実施形態について説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。本発明は、以下に説明する各構成に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲に示した範囲で種々の変更が可能である。また、異なる実施形態及び/又は実施例にそれぞれ開示された技術的手段を適宜組み合わせて得られる実施形態及び/又は実施例についても本発明の技術的範囲に含まれる。また、本明細書中に記載された学術文献及び特許文献の全てが、本明細書中において参考文献として援用される。また、本明細書において特記しない限り、数値範囲を示す「A〜B」は、「A以上(Aを含みかつAより大きい)B以下(Bを含みかつBより小さい)」を意図する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention is not limited to the configurations described below, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. The technical scope of the present invention also includes embodiments and / or examples obtained by appropriately combining the technical means disclosed in different embodiments and / or examples. In addition, all the academic documents and patent documents described in the present specification are incorporated as references in the present specification. Further, unless otherwise specified in the present specification, "A to B" indicating a numerical range is intended to be "A or more (including A and larger than A) and B or less (including B and smaller than B)".

本発明の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子は平均粒子径が0.25mm以上0.50mm以下でである。平均粒子径が0.25mm未満となると、発泡力が不足してブロッキングが発生しやすい上、発泡機の目皿につまって汚染しやすい。平均粒子径が0.50mm以上であった場合、そのポリスチレン系発泡粒子をクッションビーズにした際の感触が悪化する。また、本発明の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子は平均粒子径±15%の変動幅に入る割合が90%以上であることが好ましい。平均粒子径±15%の変動幅に入る割合が90%以上であることで、発泡時の発泡倍率のばらつきが抑えられるため均一なポリスチレン系発泡粒子を得やすく、製品品質が安定しやすい。 The foamable polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention have an average particle size of 0.25 mm or more and 0.50 mm or less. If the average particle size is less than 0.25 mm, the foaming power is insufficient and blocking is likely to occur, and the particle size is likely to be clogged with the foaming machine and contaminated. When the average particle size is 0.50 mm or more, the feel when the polystyrene-based foamed particles are used as cushion beads is deteriorated. Further, it is preferable that the effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention have a ratio of 90% or more within the fluctuation range of the average particle size ± 15%. When the ratio within the fluctuation range of the average particle size ± 15% is 90% or more, the variation in the foaming ratio at the time of foaming is suppressed, so that uniform polystyrene-based foamed particles can be easily obtained, and the product quality is easily stabilized.

また、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂粒子に対しては、発泡時の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子同士の結合(ブロッキング)を防止するため、ブロッキング防止剤としてステアリン酸マグネシウムが用いられ、ステアリン酸マグネシウムの含有量は発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子100重量部に対して、0.4重量部以上1.5重量部以下である。0.4重量部未満より少ないと発泡時にブロッキングが起こりやすい。また、1.5重量部を超えると、発泡粒子の空気輸送中に剥離しやすく、配管の閉塞の原因となる。ブロッキング抑制効果と剥離のバランスから0.5重量部以上1.0重量部以下が好ましく、より好ましくは0.6重量部以上0.8重量部以下である。 Further, with respect to the polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention, magnesium stearate is used as a blocking inhibitor in order to prevent binding (blocking) between the foamable polystyrene-based resin particles during foaming, and the polystyrene-based resin particles contain magnesium stearate. The amount is 0.4 parts by weight or more and 1.5 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the foamable polystyrene resin particles. If it is less than 0.4 parts by weight, blocking is likely to occur during foaming. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1.5 parts by weight, the foamed particles are easily peeled off during air transportation, which causes clogging of the pipe. From the balance between the blocking suppressing effect and peeling, it is preferably 0.5 parts by weight or more and 1.0 part by weight or less, and more preferably 0.6 parts by weight or more and 0.8 parts by weight or less.

通常、発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子に使用されるブロッキング防止剤としては、ステアリン酸亜鉛、ステアリン酸カルシウム、ステアリン酸マグネシウム、ステアリン酸アルミニウム、ラウリン酸亜鉛、ラウリン酸カルシウムなどの脂肪酸金属塩が挙げられるが、本発明の平均粒子径においては通常よりもブロッキングが発生しやすため、少量で優れたブロッキング防止性能を有するステアリン酸マグネシウムを使用する必要がある。 Examples of the blocking inhibitor usually used for effervescent polystyrene resin particles include fatty acid metal salts such as zinc stearate, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, aluminum stearate, zinc laurate, and calcium laurate. Since blocking is more likely to occur at the average particle size of the present invention, it is necessary to use magnesium stearate having excellent blocking prevention performance in a small amount.

本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂粒子に対しては、帯電防止剤として脂肪酸モノグリセライドが使用され、脂肪酸モノグリセライドの含有量は発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子100重量部に対して0.2重量部以上0.4重量部以下である。0.2重量部以下であると十分な帯電防止性能が得られず、0.4重量部以上であると高湿度の環境下で流動性が悪化しやすい。脂肪酸モノグリセライドの含有量はより好ましくは0.25重量部以上0.35重量部以下である。脂肪酸モノグリセライドとしては、ステアリン酸モノグリセライド、パルチミン酸モノグリセライド、ラウリン酸モノグリセライド、ベヘン酸モノグリセライド、ヒドロキシステアリン酸モノグリセライド、カプリン酸モノグリセライド等が挙げられ、おれらは単独で用いても良いし、2種類以上併用しても良いが、ハンドリング性からステアリン酸モノグリセライド、ベヘン酸モノグリセライド、ヒドロキシステアリン酸モノグリセライドが好ましく、粉体形状としやすく特にハンドリングしやすいことからステアリン酸モノグリセライドが特に好ましい。 For the polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention, fatty acid monoglyceride is used as an antistatic agent, and the content of the fatty acid monoglyceride is 0.2 parts by weight or more and 0.4 weight by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles. It is less than a part. If it is 0.2 parts by weight or less, sufficient antistatic performance cannot be obtained, and if it is 0.4 parts by weight or more, the fluidity tends to deteriorate in a high humidity environment. The content of fatty acid monoglyceride is more preferably 0.25 parts by weight or more and 0.35 parts by weight or less. Examples of the fatty acid monoglyceride include stearic acid monoglyceride, partimate monoglyceride, laurate monoglyceride, behenic acid monoglyceride, hydroxystearic acid monoglyceride, capric acid monoglyceride, etc., and we may use them alone or in combination of two or more. However, stearic acid monoglyceride, behenic acid monoglyceride, and hydroxystearic acid monoglyceride are preferable from the viewpoint of handleability, and stearic acid monoglyceride is particularly preferable because it is easy to form a powder and is particularly easy to handle.

更に、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂粒子のヒドロキシアルキルアミンの含有量は発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子100重量部に対して0.1重量部未満である必要がある。0.1重量部を超えるとヒドロキシアルキルアミンの吸湿により、高湿度環境下では発泡粒子の流動性が悪化しやすく、好ましくは0.05重量部未満、より好ましくは使用しないことである。ヒドロキシアルキルアミンとしては、N−ヒドロキシエチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシアルキル)アミン、N,N−ビス(ヒドロキシエチル)ドデシルアミン、N,N−ビス(ヒドロキシエチル)テトラデシルアミン、N,N−ビス(ヒドロキシエチル)ヘキサデシルアミン、N,N−ビス(ヒドロキシエチル)オクタデシルアミン、N−ヒドロキシエチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシテトラデシル)アミン、N−ヒドロキシエチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシヘキサデシル)アミン、N−ヒドロキシエチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシオクタデシル)アミン、N−ヒドロキシプロピル−N−(2−ヒドロキシテトラデシル)アミン、N−ヒドロキシブチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシテトラデシル)アミン、N−ヒドロキシペンチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシテトラデシル)アミン、N−ヒドロキシペンチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシヘキサデシル)アミン、N−ヒドロキシペンチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシオクタデシル)アミンが挙げられる。なお、上記脂肪酸モノグリセライドと併用しても良いが、併用する場合には少量で帯電防止効果が得られやすいことから、アルキル炭素数が14のものを主成分とするN−ヒドロキシエチル−N−(2−ヒドロキシアルキル)アミンを使用することが好ましい。
これらのブロッキング防止剤、帯電防止剤等の添付剤は発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子もしくは発泡粒子の表面に存在して効果を発揮することから、重合・乾燥工程を経た発泡性ポリスチレン系発泡性樹脂粒子表面に塗布することが好ましい。塗布する方法としては、攪拌機中で添付剤とともに発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子を攪拌するのが好ましく、攪拌機としてはナウターミキサー、スーパーミキサー、ユニバーサルミキサー、タンブラーミキサー、レディゲミキサーなどが用いられる。
Further, the content of hydroxyalkylamine in the polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention needs to be less than 0.1 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles. If it exceeds 0.1 parts by weight, the fluidity of the foamed particles tends to deteriorate in a high humidity environment due to the moisture absorption of the hydroxyalkylamine, preferably less than 0.05 parts by weight, and more preferably not used. Examples of the hydroxyalkylamine include N-hydroxyethyl-N- (2-hydroxyalkyl) amine, N, N-bis (hydroxyethyl) dodecylamine, N, N-bis (hydroxyethyl) tetradecylamine, N, N-. Bis (hydroxyethyl) hexadecylamine, N, N-bis (hydroxyethyl) octadecylamine, N-hydroxyethyl-N- (2-hydroxytetradecyl) amine, N-hydroxyethyl-N- (2-hydroxyhexadecyl) ) Amines, N-hydroxyethyl-N- (2-hydroxyoctadecyl) amines, N-hydroxypropyl-N- (2-hydroxytetradecyl) amines, N-hydroxybutyl-N- (2-hydroxytetradecyl) amines, Examples thereof include N-hydroxypentyl-N- (2-hydroxytetradecyl) amine, N-hydroxypentyl-N- (2-hydroxyhexadecyl) amine, and N-hydroxypentyl-N- (2-hydroxyoctadecyl) amine. It may be used in combination with the above fatty acid monoglyceride, but when used in combination, an antistatic effect can be easily obtained with a small amount. It is preferable to use 2-hydroxyalkyl) amine.
Since these attachments such as antiblocking agents and antistatic agents are present on the surface of the foamable polystyrene-based resin particles or the foamed particles and exert their effects, the foamable polystyrene-based foamable resin particles that have undergone the polymerization / drying step are effective. It is preferably applied to the surface. As a method of coating, it is preferable to stir the effervescent polystyrene resin particles together with the attachment in a stirrer, and as the stirrer, a Nauter mixer, a super mixer, a universal mixer, a tumbler mixer, a Ladyge mixer and the like are used.

これらのブロッキング防止剤、帯電防止剤等の添付剤が発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子から剥がれにくくするため、塗布する際に添着剤を併用することが好ましい。添着剤としては、ヒマシ硬化油、オリーブ油、菜種油、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコール、ジメチルポリシロキサン、メチルフェニルポリシロキサンなどが挙げられ、少量で剥離抑制効果に優れることからヒマシ硬化油が好ましい。発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子の表面のヒマシ硬化油の含有量としては0.04重量部以上0.15重量部以下が好ましく、より好ましくは0.05重量部以上0.08重量部以下である。0.04重量部以下だと添付剤の剥離抑制効果が得られづらく、0.15重量部を超えると発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子の流動性が悪化しやすくブロッキングも増加しやすい。 In order to prevent the attachments such as antiblocking agent and antistatic agent from peeling off from the foamable polystyrene resin particles, it is preferable to use an adhering agent together at the time of application. Examples of the adhering agent include hydrogenated castor oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, dimethylpolysiloxane, and methylphenylpolysiloxane, and hydrogenated castor oil is preferable because it is excellent in peeling inhibitory effect even in a small amount. The content of castor oil on the surface of the foamable polystyrene resin particles is preferably 0.04 parts by weight or more and 0.15 parts by weight or less, and more preferably 0.05 parts by weight or more and 0.08 parts by weight or less. If it is 0.04 parts by weight or less, it is difficult to obtain the effect of suppressing the peeling of the attachment, and if it exceeds 0.15 parts by weight, the fluidity of the foamable polystyrene resin particles tends to deteriorate and blocking tends to increase.

本発明に用いる発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子は、基材樹脂及び発泡剤を含有している。より詳しくは、基材樹脂にに発泡剤が含浸したものである。基材樹脂には、一般的に知られているポリスチレン系樹脂粒子を用いることができる。ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子を製造する際に用いられる単量体としては、スチレン、及び、α−メチルスチレン、パラメチルスチレン、t−ブチルスチレン、クロルスチレンなどのスチレン系誘導体が挙げられ、さらにスチレンと共重合が可能な成分、例えばメチルアクリレート、ブチルアクリレート、メチルメタクリレート、エチルメタクリレート、セチルメタクリレートなどのアクリル酸及びメタクリル酸のエステル、あるいはアクリロニトリル、ジメチルフマレート、エチルフマレートなどの各種単量体、ジビニルベンゼン、アルキレングリコールジメタクリレートなどの2官能性単量体が挙げられる。すなわち、基材樹脂としては、上述のスチレンと共重合が可能な成分を含まない重合体、若しくは、スチレンと共重合が可能な成分を1種又は2種以上使用した共重合体であってもよい。尚、スチレン中に含まれるフェニルアセチレン量は0〜150ppmが好ましい。フェニルアセチレン量が150ppmを超える場合には残存スチレン量が増える傾向にあるため好ましくない。 The effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles used in the present invention contain a base resin and a foaming agent. More specifically, the base resin is impregnated with a foaming agent. Generally known polystyrene-based resin particles can be used as the base resin. Examples of the monomer used in producing the polystyrene-based resin particles include styrene and styrene-based derivatives such as α-methylstyrene, paramethylstyrene, t-butylstyrene, and chlorostyrene, and the same as styrene. Polymerizable components such as acrylic acid and styrenic esters such as methyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, cetyl methacrylate, various monomers such as acrylonitrile, dimethyl fumarate, ethyl fumarate, divinyl benzene , Bifunctional monomers such as alkylene glycol dimethacrylate.

The amount of phenylacetylene contained in styrene is preferably 0 to 150 ppm. When the amount of phenylacetylene exceeds 150 ppm, the amount of residual styrene tends to increase, which is not preferable.

本発明における発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子は、水性懸濁液中に分散したポリスチレン系樹脂種粒子にスチレン系単量体を添加して該種粒子に含浸させながら重合せしめる、いわゆる懸濁シード重合法によって製造されることが好ましい。 The effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles in the present invention are a so-called suspension seed polymerization method in which a styrene-based monomer is added to polystyrene-based resin seed particles dispersed in an aqueous suspension and the seed particles are impregnated and polymerized. It is preferably manufactured by.

懸濁シード重合法に用いる樹脂種粒子は、(1)通常の懸濁重合法、(2)重合性単量体を規則的な振動下にノズルを通すことにより液滴群として水性媒体中に分散させ、合着および付加的な分散を生じせしめることなく重合させる方法、などによって得ることができる。本発明においては、樹脂種粒子の製造方法は粒度分布を狭くできる点で(2)の方が好ましい。 The resin seed particles used in the suspension seed polymerization method are (1) a normal suspension polymerization method, and (2) a polymerizable monomer is passed through a nozzle under regular vibration to form a group of droplets in an aqueous medium. It can be obtained by a method of dispersing and polymerizing without causing coalescence and additional dispersion, and the like. In the present invention, the method for producing resin seed particles is preferably (2) in that the particle size distribution can be narrowed.

ポリスチレン系樹脂種粒子の量は、目的とするポリスチレン系樹脂粒子の量に対して5〜60重量%であることが好ましい。5重量%未満になる場合、水性懸濁液に添加する重合性単量体が該樹脂種粒子内で重合せずに、単独で重合する割合が増える傾向にあり、60重量%を超える場合は、一回の重合工程でより多くのモノマーを重合させることが出来ずに、不経済である。 The amount of polystyrene-based resin seed particles is preferably 5 to 60% by weight with respect to the amount of the target polystyrene-based resin particles. If it is less than 5% by weight, the proportion of the polymerizable monomer added to the aqueous suspension that does not polymerize in the resin seed particles but polymerizes alone tends to increase, and if it exceeds 60% by weight, it tends to increase. , It is uneconomical because more monomers cannot be polymerized in one polymerization step.

ポリスチレン系樹脂種粒子の平均粒径は0.13〜0.30mmとすることが好ましい。より好ましくは0.16〜0.26mm、更に好ましくは0.20〜0.25mmである。平均粒径が0.13〜0.30mmのポリスチレン系樹脂種粒子を用いて上記方法で発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子を製造することで、発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子の平均粒子径を0.25mm以上0.50mm以下に制御しやすくなる。
また、平均粒子径±15%の変動幅に入る割合が90%以上の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子を生産するために、ポリスチレン系樹脂種粒子の平均粒子径±15%の変動幅に入る割合は90%以上であることが好ましく、95%以上がより好ましい。
The average particle size of the polystyrene resin seed particles is preferably 0.13 to 0.30 mm. It is more preferably 0.16 to 0.26 mm, still more preferably 0.25 to 0.25 mm.

It becomes easy to control to 0.50 mm or less.
Further, in order to produce foamable polystyrene-based resin particles having a fluctuation range of 90% or more in the fluctuation range of the average particle size ± 15%, the ratio of the polystyrene-based resin seed particles in the fluctuation range of ± 15% is included. It is preferably 90% or more, and more preferably 95% or more.

本発明の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子の重量平均分子量は22万以上30万未満であることが好ましい。より好ましくは23万以上28万未満である。重量平均分子量が22万より低い場合、ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子自体の機械強度が低下する上ブロッキングも発生しやすく、30万を超える場合には、発泡性が悪化しやすく、無理に発泡させたにセル膜が破れ発泡粒子のセル構造に欠陥ができやすい。 The weight average molecular weight of the effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention is preferably 220,000 or more and less than 300,000. More preferably, it is 230,000 or more and less than 280,000. When the weight average molecular weight is lower than 220,000, the mechanical strength of the polystyrene resin particles themselves is lowered and blocking is likely to occur. The film is torn and the cell structure of the foamed particles is liable to be defective.

更に、本発明の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子中のスチレン単量体の残存量は150ppm未満であることが好ましい。より好ましくは100ppm未満である。発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子中のスチレン単量体の残存量が150ppm未満であることで、特に、クッションビーズ材として使用した際に問題となる臭気を抑制することができる。 Further, the residual amount of the styrene monomer in the foamable polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention is preferably less than 150 ppm. More preferably, it is less than 100 ppm. When the residual amount of the styrene monomer in the foamable polystyrene-based resin particles is less than 150 ppm, it is possible to suppress an odor which is a problem especially when used as a cushion bead material.

本発明の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子の製造方法で使用する分散剤としては、一般的に用いられている分散剤、例えば、燐酸カルシウム、ハイドロキシアパタイト、ピロリン酸マグネシウムなどの難水溶性無機塩が挙げられる。これら、難水溶性無機塩を用いる場合には、α−オレフィンスルフォン酸ソーダ、ドデシルベンゼンスルフォン酸ソーダなどのアニオン性界面活性剤を併用すると、分散安定性が増すので効果的である。また、難溶性無機塩は得られる発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子の粒子径を調節するために、重合中に1回以上追加することもある。
上記製造方法で用いられる重合開始剤は、ベンゾイルパーオキサイド、ラウリルパーオキサイド、t−ブチルパーオキシベンゾエート、t−ブチルパーオキシ−2−エチルヘキシルモノカーボネート、t−アミルパーオキシ−2−エチルヘキシルモノカーボネート、t−ヘキシルパーオキシイソプロピルモノカーボネート、t−ブチルパーオキシイソプロピルモノカーボネート等があげられる。これらは、単独で用いてもよいし、2種類以上併用しても良い。
中でもベンゾイルパーオキサイドとt−ブチルパーオキシー2−エチルヘキシルモノカーボネートを併用することが重量平均分子量とスチレン単量体残存量のバランスと取りやすいため好ましい。本発明における重量平均分子量はベンゾイルパーオキサイドの総添加量と単位時間当たりの添加量を変更することで調整が可能であり、総添加量としては0.14重量以上0.228重量部以下で、ベンゾイルパーオキサイドの単位時間当たりの添加量を減少させていくか、又は一定であるのが望ましい。
Examples of the dispersant used in the method for producing foamable polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention include commonly used dispersants, for example, poorly water-soluble inorganic salts such as calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, and magnesium pyrophosphate. Be done. When these poorly water-soluble inorganic salts are used, it is effective to use an anionic surfactant such as α-olefin sulphonate soda or dodecylbenzene sulphonate soda in combination because the dispersion stability is increased. Further, the poorly soluble inorganic salt may be added once or more during the polymerization in order to adjust the particle size of the obtained foamable polystyrene-based resin particles.
The polymerization initiators used in the above production method are benzoyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, t-butylperoxybenzoate, t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexyl monocarbonate, t-amylperoxy-2-ethylhexyl monocarbonate, and the like. Examples thereof include t-hexyl peroxyisopropyl monocarbonate and t-butylperoxyisopropyl monocarbonate. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
Of these, it is preferable to use benzoyl peroxide and t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexyl monocarbonate in combination because it is easy to balance the weight average molecular weight and the residual amount of styrene monomer. The weight average molecular weight in the present invention can be adjusted by changing the total amount of benzoyl peroxide added and the amount added per unit time, and the total amount added is 0.14 weight or more and 0.228 parts by weight or less. It is desirable to reduce or keep the amount of benzoyl peroxide added per unit time.

本発明において使用する発泡剤としては、プロパン、イソブタン、ノルマルブタン、イソペンタン、ノルマルペンタン、ネオペンタンなど炭素数3以上5以下の炭化水素等の脂肪族炭化水素類、およびジフルオロエタン、テトラフルオロエタンなどのオゾン破壊係数がゼロであるフッ化炭化水素類などの揮発性発泡剤が挙げられる。尚、本発明においてはブタンとペンタンを併用する、もしくはブタンとシクロヘキサンを併用するのが長期的に発泡性を維持しやすく好ましい。
ブタンの添加量としてはポリスチレン系樹脂粒子100重量部に対して、好ましくは5重量部以上8重量部未満である。5重量部より少ないと所定倍率(50倍)まで発泡することができず、また発泡操作中にブタンが散逸しやすく、発泡粒子内に残るブタンが少なくなるため、発泡粒子の内圧が低下し、座屈しやすくなる。その結果、短期的にクッション性が悪化する。8重量部以上の場合は、発泡の際に倍率ばらつきが発生しやすくなるため、クッション性が悪化する。
添加するブタン組成としては、イソブタン濃度が50%以上が好ましい。イソブタン濃度が50%未満になると、発泡操作中に主にノルマルブタンが散逸しやすく、発泡粒子内に残るブタン総量が少なくなるため、発泡粒子の内圧が低下し、座屈しやすくなる。その結果、短期的にクッション性が悪化する。
ペンタン又はシクロヘキサンの添加量としてはポリスチレン系樹脂粒子100重量部に対して、好ましくは2重量部以上5重量部以下が好ましい。1.5重量未満になると長期にわたって発泡性が維持しづらくなるため品質が安定しづらい。5重量部を超える場合は、発泡速度がはやくなりすぎるため、発泡の際に倍率ばらつきが大きくなり、発泡粒子の粒度分布が悪くなる。その結果、感触、クッション性が悪化する。また、発泡操作時のブロッキングが増える傾向にある。
ペンタンを添加する際の組成としては、発泡速度を得られやすい点から、イソペンタン濃度が30%以上が好ましい。より好ましいイソペンタン濃度は50%以上である。
The effervescent agent used in the present invention includes aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hydrocarbons having 3 to 5 carbon atoms such as propane, isobutane, normal butane, isopentane, normal pentane and neopentane, and ozone such as difluoroethane and tetrafluoroethane. Examples thereof include volatile foaming agents such as fluorinated hydrocarbons having a destruction coefficient of zero. In the present invention, it is preferable to use butane and pentane in combination, or butane and cyclohexane in combination because it is easy to maintain foamability for a long period of time.
The amount of butane added is preferably 5 parts by weight or more and less than 8 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polystyrene-based resin particles. If it is less than 5 parts by weight, it cannot be foamed up to a predetermined magnification (50 times), butane is easily dissipated during the foaming operation, and the amount of butane remaining in the foamed particles is reduced, so that the internal pressure of the foamed particles is lowered. It becomes easy to buckle. As a result, the cushioning property deteriorates in the short term. If the amount is 8 parts by weight or more, the magnification tends to vary during foaming, so that the cushioning property deteriorates.
The butane composition to be added is preferably an isobutane concentration of 50% or more. When the isobutane concentration is less than 50%, normal butane is likely to dissipate mainly during the foaming operation, and the total amount of butane remaining in the foamed particles is reduced, so that the internal pressure of the foamed particles is lowered and buckling is likely to occur. As a result, the cushioning property deteriorates in the short term.
The amount of pentane or cyclohexane added is preferably 2 parts by weight or more and 5 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polystyrene resin particles. If the weight is less than 1.5, it is difficult to maintain foamability for a long period of time, and it is difficult to stabilize the quality. If it exceeds 5 parts by weight, the foaming rate becomes too fast, so that the magnification variation becomes large during foaming and the particle size distribution of the foamed particles becomes poor. As a result, the feel and cushioning property deteriorate. In addition, blocking during the foaming operation tends to increase.
As the composition when the pentane is added, the isopentane concentration is preferably 30% or more from the viewpoint that the foaming rate can be easily obtained. A more preferable isopentane concentration is 50% or more.

尚、発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子には、物性を損なわない範囲内において、可塑剤、気泡調整剤、難燃剤、難燃助剤等が使用できる。可塑剤としては、例えば、ステアリン酸トリグリセライド、パルミチン酸トリグリセライド、ラウリン酸トリグリセライド、ステアリン酸ジグリセライド、ステアリン酸モノグリセライド等の脂肪酸グリセライド、ヤシ油、パーム油、パーム核油等の植物油、ジオクチルアジペート、ジブチルセバケート等の脂肪族エステル、流動パラフィン、シクロヘキサン等の有機炭化水素等があげられ、これらは併用しても何ら差し支えない。気泡調整剤としては、例えば、ポリメタクリル酸メチル、メチレンビスステアリン酸アマイド、エチレンビスステアリン酸アマイド等の脂肪族ビスアマイド、ポリエチレンワックス等が挙げられる。難燃剤としては、臭素化スチレン、臭素化ブタジエン・ビニル芳香族共重合体、臭素化ノボラック樹脂アリルエーテル、臭素化ポリ(1,3−シクロアルカジエン)及び臭素化ポリ(4−ビニルフェノールアリルエーテル)などの臭素化ポリマーやポリグリセリンジブロモプロピルエーテル、テトラブロモビスフェノールA、テトラブロモビスフェノール−A−ビス(2,3−ジブロモ−2−メチルプロピルエーテル)等々の低分子化合物が上げられる。難燃助剤としては、例えば、クメンパーオキサイド、ジクミルパーオキサイド、t−ブチルハイドロパーオキサイド、2,3−ジメチルー2,3−ジフェニルブタン等の高温分解型の有機物があげられる。 As the foamable polystyrene-based resin particles, a plasticizer, a bubble adjusting agent, a flame retardant, a flame retardant aid, or the like can be used as long as the physical properties are not impaired. Examples of the plasticizer include fatty acid glycerides such as triglyceride stearate, triglyceride palmitic acid, triglyceride laurate, diglyceride stearate and monoglyceride stearate, vegetable oils such as coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil, dioctyl adipate and dibutyl sebacate. Examples thereof include aliphatic esters such as, liquid paraffin, and organic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, and these may be used in combination. Examples of the bubble regulator include aliphatic bisamides such as polymethyl methacrylate, methylene bisstearic acid amide, ethylene bisstearic acid amide, and polyethylene wax. Flame retardants include brominated styrene, brominated butadiene-vinyl aromatic copolymer, brominated novolak resin allyl ether, brominated poly (1,3-cycloalkaziene) and brominated poly (4-vinylphenol allyl ether). ), And low molecular weight compounds such as polyglycerin dibromopropyl ether, tetrabromobisphenol A, and tetrabromobisphenol-A-bis (2,3-dibromo-2-methylpropyl ether). Examples of the flame retardant aid include high temperature decomposition type organic substances such as cumene peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide, and 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane.

本発明の発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子は公知の方法で発泡させることが出来る。例えば、発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子を回転攪拌式予備発泡装置で、水蒸気を用いて80〜105℃程度で加熱することにより、発泡粒子を作製することできる。80℃未満になると、発泡時間がながいため生産性が悪化する。105℃を超えると、セル膜が破れ発泡粒子のセル構造に欠陥ができやすい。 The effervescent polystyrene-based resin particles of the present invention can be foamed by a known method. For example, foamed polystyrene-based resin particles can be produced by heating them with a rotary stirring type pre-foaming device at about 80 to 105 ° C. using steam. If the temperature is lower than 80 ° C., the foaming time is long and the productivity is deteriorated. If the temperature exceeds 105 ° C., the cell film is torn and the cell structure of the foamed particles is likely to be defective.

前記発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂粒子をクッションビーズとして使用する際の好ましい嵩密度は0.018g/cm以上0.029g/cm以下である。0.018g/cm未満の場合、発泡粒子が座屈しやすくなるため、短期間でクッション性が悪化しやすく、0.029g/cmを超えると発泡粒子が硬くなりクッション性が悪化する。 The preferred bulk density for using expandable polystyrene resin particles as a cushioning beads is 0.018 g / cm 3 or more 0.029 g / cm 3 or less. If it is less than 0.018 g / cm 3 , the foamed particles tend to buckle, so that the cushioning property tends to deteriorate in a short period of time. If it exceeds 0.029 g / cm 3 , the foamed particles become hard and the cushioning property deteriorates.

得られるポリスチレン系発泡粒子の平均気泡径は10〜100μmが好ましい。この範囲であれば、発泡倍率のバラツキが小さい発泡粒子ができ、更にこの発泡粒子は座屈しにくく、長期的にクッション性を維持できる。 The average cell diameter of the obtained polystyrene-based foamed particles is preferably 10 to 100 μm. Within this range, foamed particles having a small variation in foaming ratio can be produced, and the foamed particles are less likely to buckle and can maintain cushioning properties for a long period of time.

得られるポリスチレン系発泡体はクッションビーズ、軽量骨材用途等に使用できるが、帯電防止性能と流動性に優れることから特にクッション用途に好ましい。 The obtained polystyrene-based foam can be used for cushion beads, lightweight aggregates, etc., but is particularly preferable for cushion applications because of its excellent antistatic performance and fluidity.
