Description

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition for manufacturing automobile exterior parts.
More specifically, the characteristics required for manufacturing automotive exterior parts that are subjected to electrostatic coating such as fluidity, impact resistance, dimensional stability, rigidity, heat-resistant rigidity, conductivity, paint adhesion, and appearance are highly sophisticated. The present invention relates to a resin composition that is balanced and has excellent residence stability, and an automotive exterior part that is obtained by applying electrostatic coating to a molded body made of the resin composition.

Conventionally, a method of mixing a conductive substance with a resin material has been proposed and partially put into practical use for the purpose of making an electrically insulating thermoplastic resin into a resin composition capable of electrostatic coating. In general, conductive substances added to thermoplastic resins include ionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, organic compounds such as polymer antistatic agents having polyethylene glycol units and ionic functional groups, and the like. Inorganic substances such as carbon black, carbon fiber, metal fiber, metal powder, metal oxide and the like. In particular, a resin composition to which conductive carbon black is applied has been most actively studied from the viewpoint of economy and other physical properties.
However, since the blending of conductive carbon black significantly lowers the fluidity and impact resistance of the resin, it is generally used in combination with an impact resistance improving material.
However, since the blending of the impact resistance improving material decreases the rigidity and heat resistance rigidity, it may not be used as a material for manufacturing automobile exterior parts.
Therefore, if an attempt is made to improve the rigidity and dimensional characteristics by further adding a reinforcing material such as an inorganic filler, the impact resistance will be lowered by the addition of the inorganic filler, and further, the inorganic filler, the impact resistance will be reduced. Both of the property improving material and the conductive carbon black often lower the fluidity of the resin, and how to balance these physical properties is a major issue.
In particular, in recent applications for automotive exterior parts such as back doors, bumper fascias, fenders and door panels, a higher level of performance has been required compared to conventional thermoplastic resin parts. In the past, there have been situations in which materials used for automobile exterior parts cannot be used.

That is, materials used as automobile exterior parts are required to express the following characteristics to a higher degree.
(1) Excellent fluidity: Excellent melt fluidity is required so that large shapes can be molded.
(2) Excellent impact resistance: is intended to be absorbed by deforming the energy at the time of collision, it is necessary excellent high-speed surface impact strength.
(3) Excellent dimensional stability (3-1) Low heat shrinkage rate: In automobile exterior parts, paint is baked at a very high temperature. Therefore, in this high temperature atmosphere, crystallization proceeds and shrinks in a crystalline resin. As a result, the dimensions of the molded product change before and after painting, and the product fixed at room temperature before painting is greatly deformed after painting.
In order to prevent this deformation, measures such as installing a slide jig and releasing the dimensional change without completely restraining the product are taken, but if the amount of change is large, the deformation can be suppressed. Therefore, a material having a small heat shrinkage is required.
(3-2) Low linear expansion coefficient: The resin expands due to high temperature exposure during coating, but if the linear expansion coefficient is large at this time, it may be deformed due to interference with other neighboring parts.
In addition, it is necessary to assume an environment in which the automobile is used up to about −20 ° C. to 80 ° C., and the dimensional change (linear expansion coefficient) accompanying this temperature change needs to be as small as possible.
(4) Excellent rigidity: Appropriate rigidity is required at room temperature as an automobile exterior part. (5) Excellent heat resistance rigidity: High heat resistance is required so that it will not be deformed by high-temperature exposure during painting. Become.
(6) Excellent conductivity: A so-called “electrostatic coating” technique in which a resin plate (panel) that has been imparted with electrical conductivity is energized and sprayed with a coating oppositely charged to the resin plate. Therefore, there is a demand for a resin material that exhibits excellent electrical conductivity. In this method, the surface of the resin plate-like body and the paint are charged oppositely, thereby utilizing the mutually attracting properties and improving the adhesion rate of the paint.
(7) Excellent coating adhesion: It is necessary that the adhesion strength with the coating material is sufficient and the coating film does not peel off.
(8) Excellent appearance: Appearance is good before and after coating.
(9) Excellent residence stability: Excellent residence stability during injection molding.

As a resin composition for manufacturing automobile exterior parts, a polymer alloy of polyphenylene ether and polyamide has been most actively studied, and so far many resin compositions and their production methods have been proposed.
For example, a resin composition comprising polyphenylene ether (A), polyamide (B), and hydrogenated block copolymer elastomer (C), and the dispersed phase of (A) dispersed in the resin composition has a diameter of 0. Resin composition having a size of 6 μm or less, and 1,2-substituted having a carboxylic acid group, an acid anhydride group, and an epoxy group in the presence of a radical generator with respect to (A) when this resin composition is produced A modified polyphenylene ether (a) obtained by reacting an olefin compound and (C) are reacted with a 1,2-substituted olefin compound having a carboxylic acid group or an acid anhydride group in the presence of a radical generator. A method for producing an impact-resistant polyamide composition characterized by melt-kneading the obtained modified hydrogenated blocked copolymer elastomer (c) and polyamide (B) (Patent Document 1) There has been proposed.

  Further, in a method for producing a conductive resin mixture containing polyphenylene ether, polyamide and carbon black, a conductive resin mixture in which carbon black is uniformly dispersed in advance in a polyamide and then mixed with polyphenylene ether (Patent Document) 2) First, polyphenylene ether, unsaturated polymer as impact modifier and functionalizing compound are optionally melted and kneaded together with part of the polyamide, then the remaining polyamide and volatiles content. A resin composition (Patent Document 3) prepared by melting and kneading with low conductive carbon black has been proposed.

  Further, a hydrogenated block copolymer obtained by hydrogenating a part or all of a copolymer comprising a polyamide (a) having a specific terminal amino group concentration to terminal carboxyl group concentration, a vinyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene compound. A resin composition comprising a polymer (a) and a modified block copolymer (c) in which a molecular unit containing a carboxylic acid group or a derivative group thereof is bonded to the copolymer of (a), In the resin composition in which the degree of unsaturation of the conjugated diene compound in the resin composition does not exceed 20% and (a), (b), and (c) have a specific ratio, (d) ethylene-α-olefin A polyamide resin composition (Patent Document 4) in which an olefin-based copolymer and an olefin-based polymer having an acid anhydride group only at the terminal (e) has been proposed.

However, in the above-described conventional technology, the properties required for use as the above-described automotive outer plate resin composition cannot be expressed at the same time and in a highly balanced manner.

On the other hand, Patent Document 5 proposes a composition in which various components are blended with PA / PPE / SEBS alloy.
The resin composition shown in this document is a composition in which a PPE resin with poor melt flowability is blended, although it has succeeded in improving the physical property balance with respect to the materials proposed so far. Therefore, the fluidity level of the resulting composition is still low, and the size of the moldable product is limited.
JP 2005-179546 A

Patent Document 6 proposes a resin composition comprising PA / impact resistance improving material / specific talc. However, this document does not specifically show a technique and examples for improving coating adhesion and conductivity, which are performances required as a resin composition for manufacturing automobile exterior parts.
Improvement of conductivity, that is, blending of carbon black, carbon fiber, and the like is an important point in achieving a balance of physical properties such as reducing fluidity, appearance, and surface impact. Further, improvement in paint adhesion itself is very difficult, and performing it while balancing with other physical properties makes the technical difficulty higher.
That is, in the literature, which does not specifically show how to improve them, it cannot actually be used as a thermoplastic resin composition for manufacturing automobile exterior parts.
JP 2002-220531 A

On the other hand, as a composition similar to the resin composition of the present invention, in Patent Document 7, a thermoplastic resin composition comprising PA / vinyl aromatic block copolymer / modified hydrogenated block copolymer / inorganic filler is used. In Patent Document 8, the present inventors have proposed a thermoplastic resin composition comprising an olefin polymer / talc / pentaerythritol type phosphite graft-modified with PA / unsaturated dicarboxylic acid.
These compositions have a high balance of physical properties such as fluidity, impact resistance, rigidity, dimensional stability, and appearance, and show that the conductivity can be improved at the same time.
However, in Patent Document 7, since the modification rate in the modified hydrogenated block copolymer is low, the impact resistance improvement effect is small, and a polyamide resin having a high molecular weight is used to cover it. It was found that the balance between fluidity and impact resistance was still insufficient.
It has also been found that the combination of fluidity, impact resistance, rigidity, and dimensional stability is still insufficient with only the combinations described in this document.
On the other hand, in Patent Document 8, the balance of impact resistance, rigidity, and dimensional stability can be improved by blending a phosphite compound, but the olefin polymer that is an impact resistance improving material component is improved. It was found that the balance of physical properties was still insufficient, such as low fluidity because the whole amount was grafted with unsaturated dicarboxylic acid.
Furthermore, in both the compositions of Patent Documents 7 and 8, if the molten resin is retained in the heating cylinder for a long time at the time of injection molding, there are defects such as appearance failure such as silver, impact resistance and rigidity being lowered. It has been found.
That is, none of the thermoplastic resin compositions according to the prior art has a sufficient balance of physical properties to be used as a resin composition for manufacturing automobile exterior parts, and the applicable range is limited. It was the current situation.

If the value of the terminal group ratio is larger than this range, the impact resistance is lowered, and if it is smaller, the fluidity is lowered.
In addition, when a blend of a plurality of types of polyamide 6 resins having different end group ratios is used as the polyamide 6 resin of component (A), the value of the end group ratio may be outside of this range. However, the value of the terminal group ratio of the polyamide 6 resin (component (A)), which is a blend thereof, needs to be within the predetermined range.

  The terminal group concentration is adjusted by a known method, for example, a method of reacting with acetic acid, stearic acid or the like during polymerization to block the amino group terminal, or reacting with stearylamine or the like to block the carboxyl group terminal. Etc. Moreover, the measurement of the said terminal group density | concentration (unit: microeq / g) is implemented by a well-known method. For example, depending on the type of end group, the amino group is measured by dissolving polyamide in phenol and titrating with 0.05N hydrochloric acid. The carboxyl group is measured by dissolving polyamide in benzyl alcohol and titrating with 0.1N sodium hydroxide.

In order to produce the component (C), a specific method of reacting the hydrogenated product of the block copolymer in a molten state includes a method of mixing and reacting with maleic anhydride and a radical generator in the molten state. It is done. In order to mix and react in a molten state, a melting / kneading machine generally used for thermoplastic resins can be used. A modification reaction takes place during melting with a melting and kneading machine.
Examples of the melting / kneading machine include a single-screw or multi-screw extruder, a heating roll, a Banbury mixer, and the like. When using the method using an extruder, for example, each component of the hydrogenated block copolymer, maleic anhydride, and radical generator is mixed in advance with a blender or the like, and the resulting mixture is upstream of the extruder. A method in which all the components are fed (feeded) and reacted in a molten state is preferable.

  The graft ratio of maleic anhydride in component (C) is the hydrogen of the block copolymer of vinyl aromatic compound polymer block and conjugated diene compound polymer block graft-modified with maleic anhydride of component (C). It is in the range of 2.6-5.0% by weight of bound maleic anhydride with respect to 100% by weight of additive. Even if it is less than this range, it cannot be used because the balance of physical properties such as fluidity, impact resistance and rigidity is lowered at most.

The graft ratio of maleic anhydride as the component (C) in the present invention can be measured by the following method.
1. To remove the maleic anhydride sample pretreatment unreacted perform reprecipitation purification.
(1-1) About 6 g of a sample is dissolved in 60 ml of toluene, 300 ml of acetone is added to reprecipitate the polymer, and then the precipitate is separated with a centrifuge (6500 rpm, 5 minutes).
(1-2) Add 300 ml of acetone to the separated precipitate and stir with a stirrer for 4 hours, and then leave it to stand.
(1-3) Decant the supernatant and collect the precipitate with a centrifuge (6500 rpm, 10 minutes).
(1-4) The recovered precipitate is dried in a vacuum dryer at 60 ° C. for 5 hours to obtain a purified polymer.

K: Titration solution concentration (mol / L)
F: Factor M: Titration volume (ml)
N: Blank titration (ml)
W: Sample weight (g)
Converted to the maleic anhydride graft ratio (% by weight) according to the following formula.
P = (J × Q / 1000) × 100
P: Graft ratio of maleic anhydride (% by weight)
Q: 98 (maleic anhydride molecular weight: g / mol)
1000: Conversion factor from mmol to mol 100: Conversion factor from g / g to% by weight

Component (D): Conductive carbon black Examples of the conductive carbon black used as the component (D) in the present invention include furnace black, acetylene black, channel black, and ketjen black. Ketjen black that exhibits properties is preferred.
Moreover, if a BET specific surface area of 600 m ² / g or more and a DBP oil absorption of 300 ml / 100 g or more are not used, the blending amount necessary to develop conductivity increases, It becomes difficult to balance impact properties and fluidity.

Component (E): Talc Talc used as the component (E) in the present invention is a plate-like particle of magnesium silicate having a layered structure, and its composition is usually 58 to 66% by weight of SiO ₂ , MgO. the 28 to 35 wt%, comprising of _{H 2} O to about 5 wt%, as other minor _{components, Fe 2 O 3, Al 2} O 3, CaO, Na 2 O, K 2 O, TiO 2, P 2 O 5, It is a mineral containing SO _{3 and the} like. The pH changes from 8 to 11 due to impurities, and the specific gravity is about 2.7. As the component (E) in the present invention, talc containing as little impurities as possible is preferably used.
The production method when grinding talc from the raw stone is not particularly limited, but the talc is degassed and compressed, or a small amount of clay-like material such as montmorillonite is granulated as a binder to increase the bulk density of talc. Is preferable because it is excellent in productivity and dispersibility in producing the composition.

The average particle diameter of talc used in the present invention is 0.5 to 10 μm. The average particle diameter means a number average particle diameter calculated as an integrated value of 50% of the particle diameter of primary particles measured by a laser analysis method. When the average particle diameter of talc is smaller than this, fluidity is lowered, and when larger than this, impact resistance and appearance are lowered. Further, the sharper the particle size distribution, the better. In particular, it is preferable to use a particle having a particle size exceeding 10 μm removed as much as possible in order to improve surface impact.
These talcs may or may not be subjected to aminosilane treatment, but it is preferable not to perform aminosilane treatment in order to balance rigidity and impact resistance.

Component (F): Metal Hydrate The metal hydrate used as the component (F) in the present invention is a substance in which a metal coordinates a hydroxyl group by a hydrogen bond.
For example, magnesium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, zinc borate, hydrotalcite and the like can be exemplified. Among them, calcium hydroxide is preferable because it has a great effect of improving the retention stability.

Component (G): Ethylene vinyl alcohol resin The ethylene vinyl alcohol resin used as the component (G) in the present invention is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol. Usually, it is produced by saponifying a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl ester. The saponification degree of the ethylene vinyl alcohol resin used in the present invention is 70 mol% or more, and if the saponification degree is smaller than this, it is not preferable because the thermal stability is poor. The ethylene copolymer ratio of the ethylene vinyl alcohol resin is preferably 40 to 50 mol%, and this range is most excellent in coating adhesion. Further, those having an MI measured according to JIS-K6730 [temperature 190 ° C., load 2.16 kg] of 0.5 g / 10 min or more can be preferably used from the viewpoint of fluidity.
The shape of this component is not particularly limited, but is preferably a pellet from the viewpoint of uniform dispersibility.
As a method for blending the component (G), a method of blending the pellet of the component (G) by dry blending into the pellet of the resin composition obtained by melt-kneading all the components other than the component (G) is most preferable. If component (G) is melt-kneaded instead of dry blended, it will be difficult to achieve a high balance of physical properties due to a reduction in the effect of improving coating adhesion and a reduction in heat-resistant rigidity.

Other components In addition to the above-described components, the thermoplastic resin composition for manufacturing automobile exterior parts according to the present invention is blended with other various resin additives in the types and amounts that do not impair the effects of the present invention ( Can be included).

The phosphites exemplified above may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
When the component (H) is added to the composition of the present invention, the content may be in the range of 0.1 to 1% by weight with respect to 100% by weight in total of all the components constituting the composition. preferable. If it is less than this range, the substantial effect of substantially increasing the rigidity and dimensional stability cannot be obtained, and if it is more than this range, the residence stability is lowered, which is not preferable.

Content of each component The content of each component (A) to (H) in the thermoplastic resin composition for manufacturing an automobile exterior part of the present invention is 100% by weight in total of all components constituting the composition. Each must be within the following ranges.
Component (A): 18 to 80% by weight, preferably 20 to 75% by weight
Component (B): 5 to 25% by weight, preferably 6 to 23% by weight
Component (C): 3 to 15% by weight, preferably 4 to 14% by weight

Component (G): 0.5 to 5% by weight, preferably 1 to 4% by weight
Component (H): 0 to 1% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 1% by weight
If the content of each of these components is not within the above range, the balance of physical properties such as impact resistance, rigidity, fluidity, conductivity, and retention stability cannot be highly balanced. .

Specifically, if the content of component (A) is not within this range, the influence on the entire physical properties is large. When the amount is particularly small, fluidity, dimensional stability, rigidity, heat-resistant rigidity, and appearance are deteriorated. When the amount is more than this, impact resistance, dimensional stability, conductivity, and the like are deteriorated.
When the content of the component (B) is less than this range, the impact resistance is lowered, and when it is more than this range, the fluidity, rigidity, heat-resistant rigidity, dimensional stability, appearance and the like are lowered.
When the content of the component (C) is less than this range, the impact resistance is lowered, and when it is more than this range, the fluidity, rigidity, heat resistance rigidity, dimensional stability, appearance and the like are lowered.
When the content of the component (D) is less than this range, the conductivity is lowered, and when it is more than this range, the fluidity, impact resistance, appearance and the like are lowered.
When the content of the component (E) is less than this range, rigidity, dimensional stability and the like are lowered, and when it is more than this range, fluidity, impact resistance, appearance and the like are lowered.
If the content of the component (F) is less than this range, the retention stability becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds this range, the appearance deteriorates.
When the content of the component (G) is less than this range, the coating adhesion is lowered, and when it is more than this range, the fluidity, heat resistance rigidity and the like are lowered.

It is preferable that the content of each component further satisfies the following formulas (1) and (2) in order to highly balance the physical property balance.
Formula (1): Component (A) / {Component (B) + Component (C)} = 65/35 to 85/15
(In the formula, the component (A), the component (B) and the component (C) are the weight percentage of each component with respect to the total of 100 weights of the component (A) + component (B) + component (C)).
Formula (2): Component (A) / Component (D) = 93/7 to 97/3
(In the formula, component (A) and component (D) are the weight percentage of each component with respect to the total of 100 weight percent of component (A) + component (D).)

Dispersion form of each component Further, in the thermoplastic resin composition for manufacturing automobile exterior parts of the present invention, it is preferable that at least each of the following components is in the following dispersion form in the micro dispersion form.
Component (A), Component (B) and Component (C):
Component (A) Polyamide 6 resin forms a sea phase (matrix phase), and the hydrogenated component (B) and component (C) block copolymer are individually or in the form of a mixture in this sea phase. Thus, it is preferably dispersed as an island phase (domain phase). Moreover, the average dispersed particle size of the island phase is more preferably in the range of 0.1 to 1 μm. Even if the average dispersed particle size of the island phase is smaller or larger than this range, rigidity and impact resistance are lowered.
Thus, in a dispersed form in which component (B), component (C) or a mixture thereof forms a sea phase and component (A) forms an island phase, rigidity, heat-resistant rigidity and dimensional stability are greatly reduced. This is not preferable.

Component (D) and component (E):
Component (D) conductive carbon black is preferably dispersed mainly in the sea phase of component (A) polyamide 6 resin, and component (E) talc is also mainly in the sea phase of component (A). It is preferable to be dispersed in
In a preferred dispersion form of the composition of the present invention, the polyamide 6 resin of the component (A) forms a sea phase (matrix phase), and the component (D) and the component (E) are mainly composed of this component (A ) Is preferably dispersed in the sea phase.
Here, “mainly” means that in the composition, the amount of the component (D) and the component (E) exceeds 50% by weight with respect to the total content of 100% by weight of the component (A). Means dispersed in the sea phase.
Therefore, if the component (D) is dispersed not in the sea phase of the component (A) but in the island phase of the component (B) and / or the component (C) phase, the conductivity is greatly reduced, which is preferable. Absent. Further, it is not preferable that the component (E) is dispersed in the component (B) or component (C) phase because rigidity, heat resistance rigidity, dimensional stability, and impact resistance are lowered.

Method of Melt-Kneading A preferred dispersion form of each of these components can be easily achieved by appropriately controlling the method of melt-kneading when preparing the resin composition according to the present invention.
For example, when the melt-kneading is performed in a plurality of stages, in the first stage, first, the component (D) conductive carbon black is mixed with at least a part of the component (A) polyamide 6 resin and a twin-screw extruder. By melt-kneading, a resin composition pellet in which component (D) is dispersed in the component (A) phase in advance, component (AD) is produced.
Next, in the second stage, this component (AD) is melt kneaded together with the remainder of component (A), component (B) and component (C) in a twin screw extruder, and into component (A) phase. The resin composition pellets and component (ABCD) in which component (B), component (C) and component (D) are finely dispersed are produced.
In the next third stage, the component (ABCD) and the component (E) talc are melt-kneaded with a twin-screw extruder, so that the preferred dispersion form can be expressed.
Here, the component (F) metal hydrate can be blended at any timing of the first to third stages, and the component (G) ethylene vinyl alcohol resin melts all components other than the component (G). As described above, it may be dry blended with the kneaded resin composition pellets. The timing of blending the component (H) pentaerythritol type phosphite may be anytime, but may be blended at the same timing as the component (F), for example.

In addition, achievement of the preferable dispersion form is achieved by using a resin composition pellet or a small piece cut out from an injection-molded product in a micro form {fine texture, morphology, etc.} This can be confirmed by observing with an electron microscope (TEM).
Specifically, a small piece from a pellet or an injection-molded product, for example, an ultramicrotome equipped with a cryo device (manufactured by Leica Co., Ltd., ULTRCUT CUT), using a diamond knife and having a thickness of 100 nm ultrathin at a temperature of −100 ° C. After cutting into sections and staining the surface of the cut pieces with osmium tetroxide and ruthenium tetroxide, they can be easily observed using a transmission electron microscope (for example, JEOL Ltd., model: JEM1200EXII type). .

  The resin composition of the present invention can be prepared by various known methods, but it is preferable to follow the aforementioned melt-kneading method in order to obtain each component in a preferred dispersion form.
