Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、特定のアクリルフィルム及びアクリルフィルム積層品、特に射出成形によるアクリルフィルム積層品に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
プラスチック、金属製品等の表面を加飾する方法として、直刷り法や転写法がある。しかし、直刷り法は複雑な形状を有する成形品には不適であり、転写法ではコストが高いという課題があった。低コストで加飾性を付与する方法として、アクリル樹脂などのフィルムを真空成形等により予め形状を付与した、または付与しない状態で、射出成形金型にインサートし基材樹脂を射出成形するフィルムインモールド成形法がある。この用途に適したアクリル系フィルムについて種々提案されている。例えば、可塑性重合体の還元粘度、ゴム含有重合体の粒子径、ゴム含有量などを規定する方法(特許文献1)、アクリル系重合体の還元粘度、多層構造アクリル系重合体の含有量を規定する方法(特許文献2及び3)が知られている。これらのフィルムは表面硬度、透明性やフィルム成形性が優れていることが知られている。
【0003】
しかしながら、フィルムの応力白化の課題については何も記載されていない。すなわち、これらフィルムは本用途において、複雑な形状の成形品にフィルムを積層する場合、コーナー等に応力が集中するためフィルムが白化しやすくなり、商品価値を著しく低下させる。更には、真空成形等により予め形状を付与した、または付与しなかったフィルムを用いたフィルムインモールド成形法により得られたフィルム積層品に対して、仕上げ工程で端部のバリを切断する際にフィルムにクラック(割れ)が発生する等の課題があった。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、本発明者らは、応力白化が生じにくく、フィルム切断時にクラックが発生しにくいフィルムを開発すべく鋭意検討した結果、特定のアクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体を用いた多層構造アクリル系重合体とメタクリル系重合体とからなる樹脂組成物から得られるフィルムが、応力白化が少なく、表面硬度も高く、透明性に優れ、耐候性に優れ、引張破断伸びも大きく、フィルム切断時にクラックが発生しにくく、更に成形性、表面性にも優れることを見出し、本発明に至った。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、(A)アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体を含むアクリル系グラフト共重合体と(B)メタクリル酸メチルを80重量%以上含有するメタクリル系重合体とからなり、任意に無機又は有機系の顔料、染料、熱や光に対する安定性を更に向上させるための抗酸化剤、熱安定剤、紫外線吸収剤、紫外線安定剤からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種を添加してもよい樹脂組成物(C)であって、
(1)アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体の含有量が20重量%を超えて30重量%以下、
(2)アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体の平均粒子径が50〜200nm、
(3)上記アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体の平均粒子径d(nm)とアクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体に用いられる架橋剤アリルメタクリレート(AIMA)の量w(重量%)との関係が次式を満たし、
0.02d≦w≦0.05d
(4)アクリル系グラフト共重合体(A)のグラフト率が30〜200%、かつ
(5)樹脂組成物(C)のメチルエチルケトン可溶分の還元粘度が0.2〜0.8dl/g
である樹脂組成物を成形してなるアクリルフィルムである。
本発明の積層品は、前記アクリルフィルムを積層したものである。前記積層品は射出成形により製造されたアクリルフィルム積層品である。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に用いられる樹脂組成物(C)は、アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体を含むアクリル系グラフト共重合体(A)とメタクリル酸メチルを80重量%以上含有するメタクリル系重合体(B)とかなるものであり、アクリル系グラフト共重合体(A)とメタクリル系重合体(B)をそれぞれ重合してこれを混合して得ることができるが、製造に際しては同一の反応機でアクリル系グラフト共重合体(A)を製造した後、メタクリル系重合体(B)を続けて製造することも出来る。混合する方法としてはラテックス状あるいはパウダー、ビーズ、ペレット等で混合が可能である。
【0010】
本発明に用いるアクリル系グラフト共重合体(A)はアクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体(アクリル酸エステルを主成分とした架橋ゴム状重合体)の存在下に(メタ)クリル酸エステル単量体を重合して得られる。
【0011】
本発明で用いられるアクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体はアクリル酸エステル60〜99重量%、共重合可能な他のビニル系単量体0〜30重量%および特定量の共重合可能な架橋剤からなる単量体混合物を重合させてなるものである。単量体を全部混合して使用してもよく、また単量体組成を変化させて2段以上で使用してもよい。
【0012】
ここで用いられるアクリル酸エステルとしては、重合性やコストの点よりアルキル基の炭素数1〜12のものを用いることができる。その具体例としては、例えばアクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、アクリル酸プロピル、アクリル酸ブチル、アクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル、アクリル酸n−オクチル等があげられ、これらの単量体は2種以上併してもよい。アクリル酸エステル量は60〜99重量%が好ましく、70〜99重量%がより好ましく、80〜99重量%が最も好ましい。60重量%以下では耐衝撃性が低下し、引張破断時の伸びが低下し、フィルム切断時にクラックが発生しやすくなるため好ましくない。
【0013】
共重合可能な他のビニル系単量体としては、耐候性、透明性の点より、メタクリル酸エステル類が特に好ましく、その具体例としては、例えばメタクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸プロピル、メタクリル酸ブチル等があげられる。また、芳香族ビニル類も好ましく、その具体例としてはスチレン、メチルスチレン等があげられ、シアン化ビニル類も好ましく、その具体例としてはアクリロニトリル、メタクリロニトリル等があげられる。
【0014】
共重合可能な架橋剤の量は、アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体の平均粒子径と共に応力白化、引張破断時の伸びあるいは透明性に大きく影響する。すなわち、アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体の平均粒子径d(nm)と架橋剤量w(重量%)が次式を満たすことが重要である。
【0015】
0.02d≦w≦0.05
ゴム状重合体の平均粒子径は、50〜200nmであり、好ましくは50〜160nm、より好ましくは50〜120nm、最も好ましくは60〜120nmである。50nm以下では耐衝撃性等が低下し、引張破断時の伸びが低下しフィルム切断時にクラックが発生しやすくなるため好ましくなく、200nm以上では応力白化が発生しやすく、透明性が低下し、更に真空成形後の透明性が低下するため好ましくない。
【0016】
架橋剤の量は、上記式に示される範囲が好ましく、この範囲外では応力白化が発生し、耐衝撃性や透明性が低下し、引張破断時の伸びが低下し、フィルム切断時にクラックが発生しやすく、フィルムの成形性が悪化するため好ましくない。この目的で用いられる架橋剤は通常使用されるものでよく、例えばアリルメタクリレート、アリルアクリレート、トリアリルシアヌレート、トリアリルイソシアヌレート、ジアリルフタレート、ジアリルマレート、ジビニルアジペート、ジビニルベンゼン、エチレングリコールジメタクリレート、ジエチレングリコールメタクリレート、トリエチレングリコールジメタクリレート、トリメチルロールプロパントリメタクリレート、テトメチロールメタンテトラメタクリレート、ジプロピレングリコールジメタクリレートおよびこれらのアクリレート類などを使用することができる。これらの架橋剤は2種以上使用してもよい。
【0017】
本発明で用いられるアクリル系グラフト共重合体(A)は、前記ゴム状重合体にメタクリル酸エステルを主成分とする単量体混合体を重合させて得られる。好ましくは、前記アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体5〜75重量部の存在下にメタクリル酸エステルを主成分とする単量体混合物95〜25重量部を少なくとも1段階以上で重合させることより得られる。グラフト共重合組成(単量体混合物)中のメタクリル酸エステルは50重量%以上が好ましい。50重量%以下では得られるフィルムの硬度、剛性が低下するため好ましくない。グラフト共重合に用いられる単量体としては、メタクリル酸エステル、アクリル酸エステルであり、具体例としては前記アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体に使用したものが使用可能である。
【0018】
この際、アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体にグラフト反応せずに未グラフトの重合体となる成分が生じる。この成分は共重合体(B)の一部または全部を構成する。グラフト共重合体はメチルエチルケトンに不溶となる。アクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体に対するグラフト率は30〜200%であり、より好ましくは50〜200%、最も好ましくは80〜200%の範囲である。グラフト率が30%以下では透明性が低下し、引張破断時の伸びが低下しフィルム切断時にクラックが発生しやすくなるため好ましくなく、200%以上ではフィルム成形時の溶融粘度が高くなりフィルムの成形性が低下するため好ましくない。
【0019】
本発明で用いられるメタクリル系重合体(B)は、メタクリル酸メチルを80重量%以上含有するもの、より好ましくは90重量%以上含有するもの、最も好ましくは92重量%以上含有するものである。メタクリル酸メチルが80重量%以下では、得られるフィルムの硬度、剛性が低下するため好ましくない。
【0020】
本発明で用いられる樹脂組成物(C)中のアクリル酸エステル系ゴム状重合体の含有量は20重量%を超えて30重量%以下が好ましく、20重量%を超えて25重量%以下がより好ましい。20重量%以下では得られるフィルムの引張破断時の伸びが低下しフィルムを切断する際にクラックが発生しやすく、また応力白化が発生しやすくなるため好ましくない。30重量%以上では得られるフィルムの硬度、剛性が低下するため好ましくない。
【0021】
本発明で用いられる樹脂組成物(C)のメチルエチルケトン可溶分の還元粘度は0.2〜0.8dl/gである。0.2dl/g以下では得られるフィルムの引張破断時の伸びが低下しフィルムを切断する際にクラックが発生しやすく、また耐溶剤性が低下するため好ましくなく、0.8dl/g以上ではフィルムの成形性が低下するため好ましくない。
【0022】
本発明で用いられる樹脂組成物(C)のアクリル系グラフト共重合体(A)とメタクリル系重合体(B)の製造方法は特に限定されたものではなく、乳化重合法、懸濁重合法、塊状重合法等が適用可能である。
【0023】
乳化重合法においては、通常の重合開始剤が使用される。具体例としては、例えば過硫酸カリウム、過硫酸ナトリウムなどの無機過酸化物や、クメンハイドロパーオキサイド、ベンゾイルパーオキサイドなどの有機過酸化物、更にアゾビスイソブチロニトリルなどの油溶性開始剤も使用される。これらは単独又は2種以上組合せ用いられる。これらの開始剤は亜硫酸ナトリウム、チオ硫酸ナトリウム、ナトリウムホルムアルデヒド、スルフォキシレート、アスコロビン酸、硫酸第一鉄などの還元剤と組み合わせた通常のレドックス型重合開始剤として使用してもよい。前記乳化重合に使用される界面活性剤にも特に制限はなく、通常の乳化重合用の界面活性剤であれば使用することが出来る。例えば、アルキル硫酸ソーダ、アルキルスルフォン酸ソーダ、アルキルベンデンスルフォン酸ソーダ、ジオクチルスルホコハク酸ナトリウム、ラウリン酸ソーダなどの陰イオン性界面活性剤や、アルキルフェノール類とエチレンオキサイドとの反応生成物などの非イオン性界面活性剤などが示される。これらの界面滑性剤は単独で用いてもよく、2種以上併用してもよい。このように得られる共重合体ラテックスから、通常の凝固と洗浄により、またはスプレー乾燥、凍結乾燥などによる処理により樹脂組成物が分離、回収される。
【0024】
本発明で得られる樹脂組成物(C)は特にフィルムとして有効であり、例えば通常の溶融押出法であるインフレーション法やTダイ押出法、あるいはカレンダー法、更には溶剤キャスト法等により良好に加工される。フィルムの厚みは、30〜500μm程度が適当であり、50〜300μmがより好ましい。また、必要に応じ、樹脂組成物(C)からフィルムを成形する際、フィルム両面をロールまたは金属ベルトに同時に接触させることにより、特にガラス転移温度以上の温度に加熱したロールまたは金属ベルトに同時に接触させることにより、表面性のより優れたフィルムを得ることも可能である。
【0025】
本発明の樹脂組成物(C)には、着色のため無機又は有機系の顔料、染料、熱や光に対する安定性を更に向上させるための抗酸化剤、熱安定剤、紫外線吸収剤、紫外線安定剤などを単独又は2種以上組み合わせて添加してもよい。
【0026】
本発明のフィルムを用いた積層品の製造法は特に制限されるものではないが、特公昭63−6339号、特公平4−9647号、特開平7−9484号、特開平8−323934号、特開平10−279766号等に記載の方法と同様な、フィルムインモールド成形法により製造することが好ましい。すなわち、真空成形等により予め形状を付与した、または付与しなかったフィルムを、射出成形金型間に挿入し、フィルムを挟んだ状態で金型を閉じ型締めし、基材樹脂の射出成形を行うことにより、射出された基材樹脂成形体の表面にフィルムを溶融一体化させることが好ましい。その際、樹脂温度、射出圧力等の射出成形条件は、基材樹脂の種類等を勘案して適宜設定される。
【0027】
本発明で得られるアクリル積層品を構成する基材樹脂は、アクリルフィルムと溶融接着可能なものであることが必要であり、例えばABS樹脂、AS樹脂、スチレン樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、塩化ビニル樹脂、アクリル樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、あるいはこれらを主成分とする樹脂が挙げられる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a specific acrylic film and an acrylic film laminate, in particular, an acrylic film laminate by injection molding.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a method for decorating the surface of plastics, metal products, etc., there are a direct printing method and a transfer method. However, the direct printing method is not suitable for a molded product having a complicated shape, and the transfer method has a problem of high cost. As a method for imparting decorative properties at low cost, a film in which a film such as an acrylic resin is inserted into an injection mold and injection-molded with a base resin in a state in which a shape such as an acrylic resin has been previously imparted or not imparted. There is a molding method. Various acrylic films suitable for this application have been proposed. For example, a method for defining the reduced viscosity of a plastic polymer, the particle diameter of a rubber-containing polymer, the rubber content, etc. (Patent Document 1), the reduced viscosity of an acrylic polymer, and the content of a multilayer structure acrylic polymer Methods (Patent Documents 2 and 3) are known. These films are known to have excellent surface hardness, transparency and film formability.
[0003]
However, nothing is described about the problem of stress whitening of the film. That is, in the present application, when these films are laminated on a molded product having a complicated shape, stress concentrates on corners and the like, so that the films are easily whitened, and the commercial value is remarkably reduced. Furthermore, when cutting burrs at the end in the finishing process for film laminates obtained by a film-in-mold molding method using a film that has been or has not been given a shape by vacuum forming or the like. There were problems, such as the occurrence of cracks in the film.

[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The resin composition (C) used in the present invention comprises an acrylic graft copolymer (A) containing an acrylic ester rubbery polymer and a methacrylic polymer (B) containing 80% by weight or more of methyl methacrylate. It can be obtained by polymerizing the acrylic graft copolymer (A) and the methacrylic polymer (B), and mixing them. After producing the copolymer (A), the methacrylic polymer (B) can be produced continuously. As a mixing method, it is possible to mix in the form of latex or powder, beads, pellets and the like.
[0010]
The acrylic graft copolymer (A) used in the present invention is a (meth) acrylic acid ester monomer in the presence of an acrylic ester rubbery polymer (a crosslinked rubbery polymer mainly composed of an acrylic ester). It is obtained by polymerizing.
[0011]
The acrylic ester rubbery polymer used in the present invention comprises 60 to 99% by weight of an acrylic ester, 0 to 30% by weight of another copolymerizable vinyl monomer and a specific amount of a copolymerizable crosslinking agent. The resulting monomer mixture is polymerized. All the monomers may be mixed and used, or may be used in two or more stages by changing the monomer composition.
[0012]
As an acrylic ester used here, the thing of C1-C12 of an alkyl group can be used from the point of polymerizability and cost. Specific examples thereof include, for example, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, n-octyl acrylate, and the like. May be. The amount of acrylic ester is preferably 60 to 99% by weight, more preferably 70 to 99% by weight, and most preferably 80 to 99% by weight. If it is 60% by weight or less, the impact resistance is lowered, the elongation at the time of tensile fracture is lowered, and cracks are likely to occur at the time of film cutting, which is not preferable.
[0013]
As other copolymerizable vinyl monomers, methacrylic acid esters are particularly preferred from the viewpoint of weather resistance and transparency, and specific examples thereof include, for example, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, Examples thereof include butyl methacrylate. Aromatic vinyls are also preferred. Specific examples thereof include styrene and methylstyrene. Vinyl cyanides are also preferred, and specific examples thereof include acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile.
[0014]
The amount of the copolymerizable cross-linking agent greatly affects the stress whitening, the elongation at the time of tensile fracture, or the transparency as well as the average particle size of the acrylic ester rubbery polymer. That is, it is important that the average particle diameter d (nm) of the acrylic ester rubber-like polymer and the amount w (wt%) of the crosslinking agent satisfy the following formula.
[0015]
0.02 d ≦ w ≦ 0.05 d
The average particle diameter of the rubbery polymer is 50 to 200 nm, preferably 50~160Nm, more preferably 50 to 120 nm, and most preferably 60 to 120 nm. Such as impact resistance is lowered at 50nm or less, a tensile elongation at break is not preferable because cracks are likely to occur during the reduced film cutting, stress whitening is liable to occur in the above 200 nm, reduces the transparency, further vacuum Since the transparency after molding is lowered, it is not preferable.
[0016]
The amount of the cross-linking agent is preferably within the range shown in the above formula. Outside this range, stress whitening occurs, impact resistance and transparency decrease, elongation at tensile break decreases, and cracks occur during film cutting. This is not preferable because the film formability deteriorates. Crosslinking agents used for this purpose may be those normally used, for example ants methacrylate, allyl acrylate, triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate, diallyl phthalate, diallyl maleate, divinyl adipate, divinylbenzene, ethylene glycol di methacrylate, diethylene glycol methacrylate, can be used triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, tetra- methylol methane tetramethacrylate, dipropylene glycol dimethacrylate and these acrylates and the like. Two or more of these crosslinking agents may be used.
[0017]
The acrylic graft copolymer (A) used in the present invention is obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture containing a methacrylic acid ester as a main component to the rubbery polymer. Preferably, it is obtained by polymerizing 95 to 25 parts by weight of a monomer mixture mainly composed of methacrylic acid ester in the presence of 5 to 75 parts by weight of the acrylic ester rubbery polymer in at least one stage. . The methacrylic acid ester in the graft copolymer composition (monomer mixture) is preferably 50% by weight or more. If it is 50% by weight or less, the hardness and rigidity of the resulting film are not preferred. Monomers used for graft copolymerization are methacrylic acid esters and acrylic acid esters, and specific examples include those used in the acrylic acid ester rubbery polymer.
[0018]
At this time, a component which becomes an ungrafted polymer without graft reaction with the acrylate rubber polymer is generated. This component constitutes part or all of the copolymer (B). The graft copolymer becomes insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone. The graft ratio to the acrylic ester rubbery polymer is 30 to 200%, more preferably 50 to 200%, and most preferably 80 to 200%. When the graft ratio is 30% or less, the transparency is lowered, the elongation at the time of tensile break is lowered, and cracks are likely to occur at the time of film cutting. This is not preferable because the properties are lowered.
[0019]
The methacrylic polymer (B) used in the present invention contains 80% by weight or more of methyl methacrylate, more preferably 90% by weight or more, and most preferably 92% by weight or more. A methyl methacrylate content of 80% by weight or less is not preferable because the hardness and rigidity of the resulting film are lowered.
[0020]
The content of the acrylate rubber polymer in the resin composition (C) used in the present invention is preferably more than 20% by weight and 30% by weight or less, more preferably more than 20% by weight and 25% by weight or less. preferable. If it is 20% by weight or less, the elongation at the time of tensile break of the obtained film is lowered, cracks are likely to occur when the film is cut, and stress whitening tends to occur, which is not preferable. If it is 30% by weight or more, the hardness and rigidity of the resulting film are unfavorable.
[0021]
The reduced viscosity of the methyl ethyl ketone soluble component of the resin composition (C) used in the present invention is 0.2 to 0.8 dl / g. If it is 0.2 dl / g or less, the elongation at the time of tensile rupture of the resulting film is lowered, and cracks are likely to occur when the film is cut, and the solvent resistance is lowered. This is not preferable because the moldability of the resin deteriorates.
[0022]
