JP5571279B2 - Flame retardant light diffusing polycarbonate resin composition - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a flame retardant light diffusing polycarbonate resin composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flame retardant light diffusing polycarbonate resin composition that achieves both excellent optical properties of light diffusing polycarbonate and high flame retardant properties.

  Disperse organic and inorganic light diffusing agents in transparent resins such as aromatic polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin, and styrene resin for applications that require light diffusibility such as various lighting covers, display covers, automobile meters, and various nameplates. The material used is widely used. Among such transparent resins, aromatic polycarbonate resins are particularly widely used as resins having excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, weather resistance, and high light transmittance. Examples of the light diffusing agent include organic particles having a crosslinked structure, and more specifically, crosslinked acrylic particles, crosslinked silicon particles, and crosslinked styrene particles. Further, there are inorganic particles such as calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, calcium fluoride, and inorganic fibers such as short glass fibers. In particular, organic particles are excellent in surface smoothness of molded products as compared with inorganic particles and can achieve a high appearance of molded products, and thus can be applied to a wide range of applications.

  However, in recent years, flaming fires at the time of fire in resin lighting covers promote the spread of fire, and light diffusing polycarbonate resin also has a high flame retardancy of V-0 in the UL standard (US Underwriters Laboratory Standard) -94. Is starting to be requested. Aromatic polycarbonate resin has excellent flame retardant properties compared to the flame retardant properties of transparent resins such as acrylic resin and styrene resin, but in order to obtain advanced flame retardant properties (V-0) It is necessary to prevent dripping of the resin.

  Addition of polytetrafluoroethylene is generally known for drip suppression, but secondary aggregation tends to occur due to the effects of static electricity, etc., blended with polycarbonate resin, poor feedability to extruder cylinder, and dispersibility of the resin There is a problem of poor appearance due to deterioration. For the purpose of improving the dispersibility, various methods of mixing polytetrafluoroethylene and an organic polymer have been proposed. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 to 4)

In addition, simply adding these polytetrafluoroethylenes reduces the total light transmittance, resulting in a loss of the excellent optical properties of the light diffusing polycarbonate resin composition.
Therefore, it becomes a technical problem to impart flame retardancy while maintaining optical properties.

  In Patent Document 5, although it is described that flame retardancy is imparted by organic acid metal salt and polytetrafluoroethylene, it cannot be said that sufficient flame retardancy and optical properties can be satisfied. It did not disclose effective findings.

Japanese Patent No. 3469391 JP 2000-297220 A Japanese Patent No. 3066012 Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-263908 JP 2006-143949 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a flame retardant light diffusing polycarbonate resin composition excellent in optical properties and flame retardant properties.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve such problems, the present inventors have found that polytetrafluoroethylene exhibits a light diffusing effect when a light diffusing agent and polytetrafluoroethylene are used in combination, and further studies are carried out. The present invention has been completed.

  Specifically, by adding polytetrafluoroethylene to the aromatic polycarbonate resin composition, a drip-suppressing effect is imparted, and the optical properties are utilized by utilizing the light diffusing effect expressed by the light diffusing agent and polytetrafluoroethylene. It is something to design. In addition, since polytetrafluoroethylene exhibits a light diffusing effect, the amount of light diffusing agent that causes a decrease in flame retardant properties can be reduced, so that an improvement in flame retardant properties can also be expected.

  According to the present invention, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aromatic polycarbonate resin (component A), the light diffusing agent (component B), preferably 0.005 parts by weight or more of the polymer particles, the flame retardant (component C), preferably Is an organic phosphorus flame retardant and / or organometallic salt flame retardant 0.001 to 20 parts by weight, and polytetrafluoroethylene (component D) having a fibril forming ability, preferably a polytetrafluoroethylene mixture 0.01 A flame retardant light diffusing polycarbonate resin composition containing ˜5 parts by weight and having a total of B and D components of 0.03 to 8 parts by weight is provided.

Hereinafter, the details of the present invention will be described.

The viscosity average molecular weight referred to in the present invention is first determined by using an Ostwald viscometer from a solution obtained by dissolving 0.7 g of aromatic polycarbonate in 100 ml of methylene chloride at 20 ° C. with a specific viscosity (η _SP ) calculated by the following formula. ,
Specific viscosity (η _SP ) = (t−t ₀ ) / t ₀
[T ₀ is methylene chloride falling seconds, t is sample solution falling seconds]
The viscosity average molecular weight M is calculated from the determined specific viscosity (η _SP ) by the following formula.
η _SP /c=[η]+0.45×[η] ² c (where [η] is the intrinsic viscosity)
[Η] = 1.23 × 10 ⁻⁴ M ^0.83
c = 0.7

  The calculation of the viscosity average molecular weight of the aromatic polycarbonate resin in the flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention is performed as follows. That is, the composition is mixed with 20 to 30 times its weight of methylene chloride to dissolve the soluble component in the composition. Such soluble matter is collected by Celite filtration. Thereafter, the solvent in the obtained solution is removed. The solid after removal of the solvent is sufficiently dried to obtain a solid component that dissolves in methylene chloride. A specific viscosity at 20 ° C. is determined from a solution obtained by dissolving 0.7 g of the solid in 100 ml of methylene chloride in the same manner as described above, and the viscosity average molecular weight M is calculated from the specific viscosity in the same manner as described above.

  The polytetrafluoroethylene particles contained in the aqueous polytetrafluoroethylene particle dispersion (D1) have a particle diameter of 10 μm or less, specifically, a polytetrafluoroethylene that is not an aggregate having a particle diameter exceeding 10 μm. Particles are preferred. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of dispersibility when blended in an aromatic polycarbonate resin, polytetrafluoroethylene particles having a particle diameter of 0.05 to 1.0 μm are more preferable. The aqueous polytetrafluoroethylene particle dispersion (D1) is obtained by polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene monomer by emulsion polymerization using a fluorine-containing surfactant.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a nonionic emulsifier, A polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, a polyoxyethylene alkyl allyl ether, a dialkyl phenoxy poly (ethyleneoxy) ethanol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, an alkyl cellulose etc. can be mentioned as a specific example. .

 The vinyl monomer (d1) and the vinyl monomer (d2) may be the same or different, and are not particularly limited. However, the vinyl monomer (d1) and the vinyl monomer (d2) are aromatic from the viewpoint of dispersibility when blended with the aromatic polycarbonate resin. It is preferable that it has a high affinity with the group polycarbonate resin.

 Specific examples of the vinyl monomers (d1) and (d2) include styrene, α-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, o-methylstyrene, t-butylstyrene, o-ethylstyrene, p-chlorostyrene, o -Aromatic vinyl monomers such as chlorostyrene, 2,4-dichlorostyrene, p-methoxystyrene, o-methoxystyrene, 2,4-dimethylstyrene; methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, methacrylic acid Ethyl, butyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, dodecyl acrylate, dodecyl methacrylate, tridecyl acrylate, tridecyl methacrylate, octadecyl acrylate, octadecyl methacrylate, acrylic acid Cyclohexyl, me (Meth) acrylic acid ester monomers such as cyclohexyl acrylate; vinyl cyanide monomers such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile; α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acids such as maleic anhydride; N-phenylmaleimide, N-methyl Maleimide monomers such as maleimide and N-cyclohexylmaleimide; Epoxy group-containing monomers such as glycidyl methacrylate; Vinyl ether monomers such as vinyl methyl ether and vinyl ethyl ether; Vinyl carboxylates such as vinyl acetate and vinyl butyrate Monomers; α-olefin monomers such as ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene; and diene monomers such as butadiene, isoprene, and dimethylbutadiene. These monomers can be used alone or in admixture of two or more.

 Among these monomers, from the viewpoint of the affinity with the aromatic polycarbonate resin, one or more single monomers selected from the group consisting of aromatic vinyl monomers and vinyl cyanide monomers are preferred. Mention may be made of monomers containing 30% by weight or more of body. Particularly preferred are one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of styrene and acrylonitrile, and even more preferred are monomers containing 30% by weight or more of acrylonitrile.

  The polytetrafluoroethylene-based mixture produced by emulsion polymerization is poured into hot water in which a metal salt such as calcium chloride or magnesium sulfate is dissolved, salted out, solidified and then dried. It can also be pulverized.

  The polymerization method by suspension polymerization is to produce a polytetrafluoroethylene mixture by adding the vinyl monomer (d1) and the water-soluble initiator to the polytetrafluoroethylene particle dispersion (D1) and reacting them. Is the method.

  The initiator used can be used without limitation as long as it is used for the polymerization reaction of vinyl monomers. Examples of the initiator include cumyl hydroperoxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium peroxide. However, the initiator is not limited to these, and 1 depending on the reaction conditions. More than seeds can be used.

It is preferable to use 25 parts by weight.

  Specific manufacturing procedures include the following methods. That is, first, water and a polytetrafluoroethylene-based particle dispersion (solid concentration: 60%, polytetrafluoroethylene particle diameter: 0.15 to 0.3 μm) were placed in a reactor, and then the acrylic monomer was stirred. Cumene hydroperoxide is added as a body, a styrene monomer, and a water-soluble initiator, and it reacts at 80-90 degreeC for 9 hours. After completion of the reaction, water is removed by centrifuging in a centrifuge for 30 minutes to obtain a pasty product. Thereafter, the product paste is dried in a hot air dryer at 80 to 100 ° C. for 8 hours. Thereafter, the dried product is pulverized to obtain the polytetrafluoroethylene-based mixture of the present invention.

  Such a suspension polymerization method does not require a polymerization step by emulsion dispersion in the emulsion polymerization method, and therefore does not require an emulsifier and an electrolyte salt for coagulating and precipitating the latex after polymerization. In addition, in the polytetrafluoroethylene mixture produced by the emulsion polymerization method, the emulsifier and the electrolyte salt in the mixture are easily mixed and difficult to remove. Therefore, the emulsifier, the sodium metal ion derived from the electrolyte salt, and the potassium metal ion are reduced. It ’s difficult. Since the polytetrafluoroethylene-based mixture produced by the suspension polymerization method does not use such an emulsifier and electrolyte salt, sodium metal ions and potassium metal ions in the mixture can be reduced, thermal stability and Hydrolysis resistance can be improved.

  The amount of potassium metal ions contained in the polytetrafluoroethylene-based mixture used in the present invention (excluding potassium metal ions in polytetrafluoroethylene) is preferably 15 ppm or less, more preferably 10 ppm or less, still more preferably 5 ppm or less.

If the content of these metal elements exceeds the specified value, the catalytic effect of promoting the decomposition of the polycarbonate resin is manifested by heat and / or moisture generated during extrusion, molding, etc. The heat stability and hydrolyzability of the polycarbonate resin composition containing the mixture are deteriorated. In addition, said sodium metal ion and potassium metal ion content measured by the following method.

  First, about 0.1 g of a polytetrafluoroethylene mixture was weighed into a quartz container, sealed with 5 ml of nitric acid, and decomposed by microwave irradiation (MULTIWAVE type manufactured by Anton Paar). At that time, polytetrafluoroethylene was not decomposed. After decomposition, the polytetrafluoroethylene was taken out and washed with ultrapure water. The decomposition solution was added to the water-washed solution, and the resulting solution was dissolved in 50 ml with ultrapure water. The solubilized solution was appropriately diluted to prepare a test solution. Then, quantitative analysis was performed on sodium metal ion and potassium metal ion in the test solution by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS method) (Agilent 7500cs type, manufactured by Yokogawa Analytical Systems), and converted to a concentration per sample weight. .

  The content ratio of polytetrafluoroethylene in the polytetrafluoroethylene-based mixture used in the present invention is preferably 0.1% by weight to 90% by weight, and 1.0% by weight to 80% by weight. Is more preferable, and 10% by weight to 70% by weight is most preferable. If it is less than 0.1% by weight, the flame retardancy improving effect becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds 90% by weight, the surface appearance may be adversely affected.

  The amount of the acrylic monomer-derived unit contained in the coating layer of the polytetrafluoroethylene-based mixture used in the present invention is preferably 8 to 11 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the styrene monomer-derived unit. Preferably it is 8-10 weight part, More preferably, it is 8-9 weight part. If the acrylic monomer-derived unit is less than 8 parts by weight, the coating strength may be reduced, and if it is more than 11 parts by weight, the surface appearance of the molded product may be deteriorated.

  Content of D component is 0.01-5 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of A component, Preferably it is 0.03-3 weight part, Most preferably, it is 0.05-2 weight part. If it is less than 0.01 part by weight, the drip suppression effect is insufficient, and if it exceeds 5 parts by weight, the total light transmittance is lowered, which is not preferable.

(E component: phosphorus stabilizer and / or hindered phenol stabilizer)

<About the manufacturing method of a resin composition>
In the production of the polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention, the production method is not particularly limited, but a preferred production method of the resin composition of the present invention is to use a multi-screw extruder such as a twin-screw extruder. This is a method of melt-kneading each component.

  A typical example of the twin screw extruder is ZSK (trade name, manufactured by Werner & Pfleiderer). Specific examples of similar types include TEX (trade name, manufactured by Nippon Steel Works, Ltd.), TEM (trade name, manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd.), KTX (product name, manufactured by Kobe Steel, Ltd.), and the like. Can be mentioned. In addition, melt kneaders such as FCM (manufactured by Farrel, trade name), Ko-Kneader (manufactured by Buss, trade name), and DSM (manufactured by Krauss-Maffei, trade name) can also be given as specific examples. Among the above, the type represented by ZSK is more preferable. In such a ZSK type twin screw extruder, the screw is a fully meshed type, and the screw includes various screw segments having different lengths and pitches, and various kneading disks having different widths (and corresponding kneading segments). It consists of

  A more preferable embodiment in the twin screw extruder is as follows. As the screw shape, one, two, and three screw screws can be used, and in particular, a two-thread screw having a wide range of application in both the ability to convey the molten resin and the shear kneading ability can be preferably used. The ratio (L / D) of the screw length (L) to the diameter (D) in the twin-screw extruder is preferably 20 to 45, more preferably 28 to 42. When L / D is large, uniform dispersion is likely to be achieved, whereas when it is too large, decomposition of the resin is likely to occur due to thermal degradation. The screw needs to have one or more kneading zones composed of kneading disk segments (or kneading segments corresponding thereto) for improving kneadability, and preferably 1 to 3 kneading zones.

  Furthermore, as an extruder, what has a vent which can deaerate the water | moisture content in a raw material and the volatile gas which generate | occur | produces from melt-kneading resin can be used preferably. From the vent, a vacuum pump is preferably installed for efficiently discharging generated moisture and volatile gas to the outside of the extruder. It is also possible to remove a foreign substance from the resin composition by installing a screen for removing the foreign substance mixed in the extrusion raw material in the zone in front of the extruder die. Examples of such a screen include a wire mesh, a screen changer, a sintered metal plate (such as a disk filter), and the like.

  Furthermore, the supply method of the components B to D and other additives (simply referred to as “additives” in the following examples) to the extruder is not particularly limited, but the following methods are typically exemplified. (I) A method of supplying the additive into the extruder independently of the polycarbonate resin. (Ii) A method in which the additive and the polycarbonate resin powder are premixed using a mixer such as a super mixer and then supplied to the extruder. (Iii) A method of melt-kneading an additive and a polycarbonate resin in advance to form a master pellet.

  One of the methods (ii) is a method in which all necessary raw materials are premixed and supplied to the extruder. In another method, a master agent containing a high concentration of additives is prepared, and the master agent is independently or further premixed with the remaining polycarbonate resin and then supplied to the extruder. The master agent can be selected from either a powder form or a form obtained by compressing and granulating the powder. Other premixing means include, for example, a Nauter mixer, a V-type blender, a Henschel mixer, a mechanochemical apparatus, and an extrusion mixer. A high-speed stirring type mixer such as a super mixer is preferable. Yet another premixing method is, for example, a method in which a polycarbonate resin and an additive are uniformly dispersed in a solvent and then the solvent is removed.

  The resin extruded from the extruder is directly cut into pellets, or after forming strands, the strands are cut with a pelletizer and pelletized. Furthermore, when it is necessary to reduce the influence of external dust or the like, it is preferable to clean the atmosphere around the extruder. Furthermore, in the manufacture of such pellets, various methods already proposed for polycarbonate resin for optical discs are used to narrow the shape distribution of pellets, reduce miscuts, and reduce fine powder generated during transportation or transportation. In addition, it is possible to appropriately reduce bubbles (vacuum bubbles) generated inside the strands and pellets. By these prescriptions, it is possible to increase the molding cycle and reduce the occurrence rate of defects such as silver. Moreover, although the shape of a pellet can take common shapes, such as a cylinder, a prism, and a spherical shape, it is a cylinder more suitably. The diameter of such a cylinder is preferably 1 to 5 mm, more preferably 1.5 to 4 mm, and still more preferably 2 to 3.3 mm. On the other hand, the length of the cylinder is preferably 1 to 30 mm, more preferably 2 to 5 mm, and still more preferably 2.5 to 3.5 mm.
