【発明の詳細な説明】
産業上の利用分野
この発明は、建築材料、電気部品材料、装飾用材料等の広範な用途を有するポ
リカーボネートを主体とした難燃性樹脂組成物に関する。
従来技術とその課題
一般に、ポリカーボネート樹脂は、機械的物性、耐熱性および透明性に優れ、
また構造上から樹脂自体に自消性を有して比較的に燃えにくいものとして知られ
るが、建築材料や電気部品材料等の特に厳しい難燃性が要求される用途には不充
分であることから、更に難燃性を高める手段が必要となる。
従来、ポリカーボネート樹脂の難燃化手段として、例えば、芳香族スルホン酸
のアルカリ金属塩またはアルカリ土類金属塩を難燃剤として配合する方法(特公
昭57−43100号公報)、特定の枝分かれポリホスフェートとデカブロモジ
フェニルエーテル等とを併用する方法(特公平2−1185号公報)、テトラハ
ロビスフェノールAを原料として活性化ピリジン触媒を用いて難燃性ポリカーボ
ネートを製造する方法(特開昭64−65127号公報)、臭素化エポキシ化合
物を難燃剤として配合する方法(特公昭60−17224号公報)等が提案され
ている。
しかしながら、これら提案手段では、難燃性は向上する反面、透明性が低下し
たり、成型加工時に熱分解して成形品の帯色や気泡混入を招く等、ポリカーボネ
ート樹脂本来の特性が損われ易く、特に押出成形品にあってはいずれの手段でも
押出し方向(長手方向)とそれに直角な方向(幅方向)の物性に大きな差異を生
じるという問題があった。
この発明は、上述の事情に鑑みて、ポリカーボネートを主体として、それ本来
の優れた特性と高い難燃性とを兼ね備えた樹脂組成物を提供することを目的とし
ている。
課題を解決するための手段
この発明者らは、上記目的を達成するために鋭意検討を重ねた結果、特定の化
合物を難燃剤としてポリカーボネートに対して特定量配合することにより、ポリ
カーボネート樹脂本来の優れた機械的物性、耐熱性および透明性等を損うことな
く高い難燃性を付与できることを見出し、この発明をなすに至った。
即ち、この発明に係る難燃性樹脂組成物は、ポリカーボネート樹脂100重量
部に対し、下記一般式; (但し、式中A1は、
で示される基であり、Xはハロゲン原子、Rは低級アルキル基、iおよびjは
0〜5の範囲で且つ(i+j)<5となる整数、A2は水素原子、A1またはグリ
シジル基、Bは炭素数1〜4のアルキレン基、アルキリデン基または−SO2−
基、lおよびmは0〜4の範囲で且つ全部のlとmが0になることのない整数、
平均重合度nは0〜5である)
で表わされる難燃剤1〜15重量部を含有してなるものである。
発明の細部構成と作用
この発明で用いるポリカーボネート樹脂としては、種々のタイプのものが包含
され、それらの2種以上を併用しても差支えないが、例えば2・2´−ビス(4
−ヒドロキシフェニル)プロパン(以下、ビスフェノールAという)、2・2´
−ビス(4−ヒドロキシフェニル)メタン(以下、ビスフェノールFという)の
如き4・4´−ジヒドロキシジフェニルアルカン、4・4´−ジヒドロキシジフ
ェニルスルホン(以下、ビスフェノールSという)、4.4´−ジヒドロキシジ
フェニルエーテル等のビスフェノール成分の一種もしくは2種以上を使用してエ
ステル交換あるいはホスゲン法にて合成されるポリカーボネートが好ましいもの
として挙げられ、更にこれらの中でも上記ビスフェノールA等を使用した2・2
´−ビス(4−ヒドロキシフェニル)アルカン系ポリカーボネートが特に好適で
ある。また、このようなポリカーボネート樹脂の平均分子量は、10000〜5
0000、好ましくは20000〜40000程度が良い。
この発明において難燃剤として用いる前記一般式(I)の化合物は、ハロゲン
化ビスフェノール・ジグリシジルエーテルとハロゲン化フェノール類を、または
これらに更にハロゲン化ビスフェノールを加えたものを、塩基性触媒の存在下、
80〜250℃、好ましくは100〜180℃で加熱反応させることにより得ら
れる。
こゝで、上記のハロゲン化ビスフェノールとしては、テトラブロモビスフェノ
ールAの如きハロゲン化ビスフェノールA、ハロゲン化ビスフェノールF、ハロ
ゲン化ビスフェノールS等を単独もしくは二種以上の併用で使用できる。またハ
ロゲン化ビスフェノール・ジグリシジルエーテルとしては、上記のハロゲン化ビ
スフェノールとエピハロヒドリンとの付加重合反応によって得られるモノマーま
たはオリゴマーを使用できる。ハロゲン化フェノール類としては、トリブロモフ
ェノール、ジブロモフェノール、トリクロロフェノール等のハロゲン化フェノー
ルのほか、ジブロモクレゾールの如きハロゲン化アルキルフェノールも使用でき
る。塩基性触媒としては、水酸化リチウム、水酸化ナトリウムの如きアルカリ金
属水酸化物、塩化リチウムの如きアルカリ金属ハロゲン化物、トリブチルアミン
の如き三級アミン、テトラメチルアンモニウムクロライドの如き四級アンモニウ
ム塩が挙げられる。
なお、上記反応においては、ハロゲン化ビスフェノール・ジグリシジルエーテ
ルと共に、ビスフェノールA・ジグリシジルエーテルの如き非ハロゲン化成分を
難燃性に支障のない範囲で併用することもできる。
かくして合成される難燃剤は、前記一般式中のnつまり平均重合度を5以下と
する必要がある。すなわち、この平均重合度nが5より大きくなると、ポリカー
ボネート樹脂に対する難燃剤の相溶性が悪くなり、樹脂組成物の透明性や機械的
物性の低下を招くことになる。なお、この平均重合度は、前述した合成反応にお
ける各種の条件を適宜調整することによって任意に設定でき、基本的にはハロゲ
ン化ビスフェノールジグリシジルエーテルとハロゲン化ビスフェノールの比率を
変えることにより任意に調整できる。
このような難燃剤の配合量は、ポリカーボネート樹脂100重量部に対して1
〜15重量部、特に好ましくは3〜10重量部の範囲であり、1重量部未満では
充分な難燃性が得られず、逆に15重量部を超えるとより以上の難燃性改善が認
められない上に樹脂組成物の物性等に悪影響を及ぼすことになる。
ところで、前記一般式(I)におけるA1とA2が共にグリシジル基からなる化
合物のように、両末端に反応性のエポキシ基を有する構造(特に分子量が低いオ
リゴマー型)では、樹脂組成物の成形時に熱焼けを招き易く、組成物が高温でゲ
ル化を起こして流れ性が悪化するという難点がある。
なお、この発明の難燃性樹脂組成物は、前記したポリカーボネート樹脂および
難燃剤と共に、必要に応じて熱安定剤、耐候剤、着色剤、艶消剤、帯電防止剤等
の種々の添加剤を、この発明の効果を阻害しない範囲で配合できる。そして、こ
れら添加剤は、ポリカーボネート樹脂中に予め含まれるものであっても良い。
この発明に係る難燃性樹脂組成物を製造するには、常法に準じてポリカーボネ
ート樹脂の粉末またはペレットと難燃剤と必要に応じて配合される前記添加剤と
からなる混合物をニーダー、スクリュー押出機、バンバリーミキサー等にて溶融
混和すれば良い。
かくして得られる難燃性樹脂組成物は、熱可塑性であり、射出成形、押出成形
、吹込成形、圧縮成形等の様々な成形手段を利用して、シート状、フィルム状、
チューブ状、ボトル状その他のいかなる形状にも成形可能である。そして、この
組成物は、ポリカーボネート樹脂本来の優れた機械的特性、耐熱性、透明性と共
に良好な難燃性を有することから、建築材料、電気部品、インテリア用品、車輌
部品、自動車部品、雑貨等の広範な用途に好適に供し得る。

Conventional technology and its problems In general, polycarbonate resin has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and transparency,
It is also known from the structure that the resin itself has self-extinguishing properties and is relatively inflammable, but is insufficient for applications requiring particularly severe flame retardancy, such as building materials and electric parts materials. Therefore, means for further increasing the flame retardancy is required. Conventionally, as a means for making a polycarbonate resin flame-retardant, for example, a method in which an alkali metal salt or an alkaline earth metal salt of aromatic sulfonic acid is blended as a flame retardant (Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-43100), a method in which a specific branched polyphosphate is used. A method using a combination of decabromodiphenyl ether and the like (Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-1185) and a method of producing a flame-retardant polycarbonate using tetrahalobisphenol A as a raw material and using an activated pyridine catalyst (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-65127). ), And a method of blending a brominated epoxy compound as a flame retardant (Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 60-17224). However, in these proposed means, although the flame retardancy is improved, the transparency of the polycarbonate resin is reduced, and the inherent properties of the polycarbonate resin are easily impaired, such as causing the molded article to be colored or mixed into bubbles due to thermal decomposition during molding. In particular, in the case of an extruded product, there is a problem that the physical properties in the extrusion direction (longitudinal direction) and the direction perpendicular thereto (width direction) are greatly different by any of the means. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a resin composition mainly composed of polycarbonate, which has excellent inherent properties and high flame retardancy. Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, by blending a specific compound as a flame retardant in a specific amount with respect to polycarbonate, the polycarbonate resin inherently excellent The present inventors have found that high flame retardancy can be imparted without impairing the mechanical properties, heat resistance, transparency, and the like, and have accomplished the present invention. That is, the flame-retardant resin composition according to the present invention has the following general formula per 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin: (However, A 1 in the formula is Wherein X is a halogen atom, R is a lower alkyl group, i and j are integers ranging from 0 to 5 and (i + j) <5, A 2 is a hydrogen atom, A 1 or a glycidyl group, B is an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylidene group or -SO 2-
Groups, l and m are integers ranging from 0 to 4 and all l and m are never 0;
(Average degree of polymerization n is 0 to 5). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND EFFECT OF THE INVENTION The polycarbonate resin used in the present invention includes various types, and two or more of them may be used in combination.
-Hydroxyphenyl) propane (hereinafter referred to as bisphenol A), 2.2 '
4.4'-dihydroxydiphenylalkane, such as bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) methane (hereinafter referred to as bisphenol F), 4.4'-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone (hereinafter referred to as bisphenol S), 4.4'-dihydroxydiphenylether Preferred are polycarbonates synthesized by transesterification or phosgene method using one or more bisphenol components such as bisphenol A. Among them, 2.2 or more polycarbonates using bisphenol A or the like are also preferred.
'-Bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) alkane-based polycarbonate is particularly preferred. The average molecular weight of such a polycarbonate resin is 10,000 to 5
0000, preferably about 20,000 to 40,000. The compound of the general formula (I) used as a flame retardant in the present invention is obtained by adding a halogenated bisphenol / diglycidyl ether and a halogenated phenol or a mixture thereof to a halogenated bisphenol in the presence of a basic catalyst. ,
It is obtained by heating and reacting at 80 to 250 ° C, preferably 100 to 180 ° C. Here, as the above-mentioned halogenated bisphenol, halogenated bisphenol A such as tetrabromobisphenol A, halogenated bisphenol F, halogenated bisphenol S, etc. can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Further, as the halogenated bisphenol / diglycidyl ether, a monomer or oligomer obtained by the addition polymerization reaction of the above-mentioned halogenated bisphenol and epihalohydrin can be used. As the halogenated phenols, halogenated phenols such as tribromophenol, dibromophenol and trichlorophenol, and halogenated alkylphenols such as dibromocresol can be used. Examples of the basic catalyst include alkali metal hydroxides such as lithium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide, alkali metal halides such as lithium chloride, tertiary amines such as tributylamine, and quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium chloride. Can be In the above reaction, a non-halogenated component such as bisphenol A / diglycidyl ether can be used in combination with the halogenated bisphenol / diglycidyl ether as long as flame retardancy is not hindered. The flame retardant thus synthesized needs to have n in the above general formula, that is, the average degree of polymerization of 5 or less. That is, if the average degree of polymerization n is larger than 5, the compatibility of the flame retardant with the polycarbonate resin becomes poor, and the transparency and mechanical properties of the resin composition are reduced. The average degree of polymerization can be arbitrarily set by appropriately adjusting various conditions in the above-described synthesis reaction, and basically, can be arbitrarily adjusted by changing the ratio of halogenated bisphenol diglycidyl ether to halogenated bisphenol. it can. The amount of such a flame retardant is 1 to 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate resin.
When the amount is less than 1 part by weight, sufficient flame retardancy cannot be obtained, and when the amount exceeds 15 parts by weight, further improvement in flame retardancy is recognized. In addition to this, it adversely affects the physical properties and the like of the resin composition. Incidentally, in a structure having a reactive epoxy group at both terminals (especially an oligomer type having a low molecular weight), such as a compound in which both A 1 and A 2 in the general formula (I) each comprise a glycidyl group, There is a problem that the composition is liable to be burned at the time of molding and the composition is gelled at a high temperature to deteriorate the flowability. Incidentally, the flame-retardant resin composition of the present invention, together with the above-mentioned polycarbonate resin and flame retardant, optionally contains various additives such as a heat stabilizer, a weathering agent, a coloring agent, a matting agent, and an antistatic agent. Can be blended within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. These additives may be contained in advance in the polycarbonate resin. In order to produce the flame-retardant resin composition according to the present invention, a mixture consisting of a polycarbonate resin powder or pellets, a flame retardant and, if necessary, the above-mentioned additive is kneaded by a conventional method. May be melt-mixed using a mixer or a Banbury mixer. The flame-retardant resin composition thus obtained is thermoplastic, and can be formed into a sheet, film, or the like by using various molding means such as injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, and compression molding.
It can be formed into a tube, bottle, or any other shape. And, since this composition has good flame retardancy as well as excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and transparency inherent to polycarbonate resin, it can be used for building materials, electric parts, interior goods, vehicle parts, automobile parts, miscellaneous goods, etc. For a wide range of applications.
