Description

The present invention relates to a decorative molded article and a method for producing the same. Specifically, a decorative molded body having an excellent surface shape obtained by attaching a polypropylene-based decorative film to the surface of a resin molded body made of a fiber-reinforced polypropylene-based resin composition by thermoforming, and a decorative molded body thereof. Regarding the manufacturing method.

Polypropylene is widely used as a living material and an industrial member because it has excellent physical properties, moldability, recyclability, and economy. In particular, there are strong demands for weight reduction and design improvement in automobile parts, electric equipment parts such as televisions and vacuum cleaners, and polypropylene is often used to meet these demands.
Polypropylene used as a material for the above parts is required to have highly balanced characteristics such as rigidity, impact resistance, and dimensional stability. Conventionally, talc, mica, calcium carbonate, glass fiber, etc. Ingenuity has been made such as blending the inorganic filler of.

However, since the resin composition containing the inorganic filler has a large specific gravity, there is a limit to the weight reduction of the molded product. Further, since the filler is an inorganic substance, when incinerated, the ash content of the inorganic substance remains as an industrial waste, which is not suitable for thermal recyclability.

In order to solve such problems, attempts have been made to replace inorganic fillers with organic fillers, and in recent years, polypropylene containing cellulose fibers produced from plant raw materials has been attempted from the viewpoint of reducing petroleum-based materials. Based resin compositions have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
However, since cellulosic fibers contain lignin and hemicellulose that decompose at 200 ° C. or higher, when a polypropylene-based resin composition containing cellulose fibers is molded at 230 ° C. or higher, which is a general polypropylene molding temperature, There was a problem that the molded product was colored yellow and an odor was generated.

In response to such a problem, for example, Patent Document 3 discloses a method of suppressing the generation of coloring and odor by blending powdered cellulose subjected to a specific treatment into a thermoplastic resin, but at 230 ° C. Even in the strand molding in the above, coloring and odor are still generated, and it cannot be said that the improvement has been sufficiently made.

More specifically, a typical molding method is illustrated below.
Hereinafter, a method of attaching a decorative film to a decorative object by using a three-dimensional decorative thermoforming machine will be exemplified with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, the three-dimensional decorative thermoforming machine of this embodiment includes chamber boxes 11 and 12 at the top and bottom, and thermoforms the decorative film 1 in the two chamber boxes 11 and 12. I am trying to do it. A vacuum circuit (not shown) and an air circuit (not shown) are piped to the upper and lower chamber boxes 11 and 12, respectively.

NS. A heater 15 is incorporated in the upper chamber box 11, and the decorative film 1 is heated by the heater 15. The decoration target 5 can use a fiber-reinforced polypropylene-based resin composition as a substrate.

As such a three-dimensional decorative thermoforming machine, a commercially available molding machine (for example, NGF series manufactured by Fuse Vacuum Co., Ltd.) can be used.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, with the upper and lower chamber boxes 11 and 12 open, the decoration target 5 is placed on the table 14 in the lower chamber box 12, and the table 14 is lowered. Subsequently, the decorative film 1 is set on the film fixing jig 13 between the upper and lower chamber boxes 11 and 12 so that the seal layer (I) faces the substrate.

As shown in FIG. 4, the upper chamber box 11 is lowered, the upper and lower chamber boxes 11 and 12 are joined to close the inside of the box, and then the insides of the respective chamber boxes 11 and 12 are put into a vacuum suction state, and the heater 15 is used. The decorative film 1 is heated by the above method.

After the decorative film 1 is heated and softened, as shown in FIG. 5, the table 14 in the lower chamber box 12 is raised while the upper and lower chamber boxes 11 and 12 are in a vacuum suction state. The decorative film 1 is pressed against the decorative object 5 to cover the decorative object 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, by opening the upper chamber box 11 under atmospheric pressure or supplying compressed air from the air pressure tank, the decorative film 1 is brought into close contact with the decorative object 5 with a larger force.
Subsequently, the insides of the upper and lower chamber boxes 11 and 12 are opened under atmospheric pressure, and the decorative molded body 6 is taken out from the lower chamber box 12. Finally, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the edges of the unnecessary decorative film 1 around the decorative molded body 6 are trimmed.

Molding conditions The depressurization in the chamber boxes 11 and 12 may be such that no air pool is generated, and the pressure in the chamber box is 10 KPa or less, preferably 3 KPa, more preferably 1 KPa or less.

Further, in the two chamber boxes 11 and 12 divided into upper and lower parts by the decorative film 1, the pressure inside the chamber box on the side where the decorative object 5 and the decorative film 1 are attached may be within this range, and the upper and lower chamber boxes may be up and down. The drawdown of the decorative film 1 can be suppressed by changing the pressures of the chamber boxes 11 and 12 of the above.
At this time, a film made of a general polypropylene resin may be significantly deformed and ruptured by a slight pressure fluctuation due to a decrease in viscosity during heating.
The decorative film 1 of the present invention is not only difficult to draw down, but also resistant to film deformation due to pressure fluctuations.

The heating of the decorative film 1 is controlled by the heater temperature (output) and the heating time. It is also possible to measure the surface temperature of the film with a thermometer such as a radiation thermometer and use it as a guideline for appropriate conditions.

In the present invention, in order to attach the polypropylene-based decorative film 1 to the decorative object 5 made of polypropylene-based resin, it is necessary that the surface of the resin molded body 5 and the decorative film 1 are sufficiently softened or melted.
Therefore, the heater temperature needs to be higher than the melting temperature of the polypropylene-based resin constituting the decoration target 5 and the polypropylene-based resin constituting the decoration film 1. The heater temperature is preferably 160 ° C. or higher, more preferably 180 ° C. or higher, and most preferably 200 ° C. or higher.

The higher the heater temperature, the shorter the time required for heating, but the heater side is sufficiently heated until the inside of the decorative film 1 (or the surface opposite to the heater when the heater is installed on only one side) is sufficiently heated. The heater temperature is preferably 500 ° C. or lower, more preferably 450 ° C. or lower, and most preferably 400 ° C. It is as follows.

The appropriate heating time depends on the heater temperature, but it is preferable that the polypropylene-based decorative film is heated at least until the polypropylene-based decorative film is heated and the re-tensioning called springback is started.
That is, the decorative film heated by the heater expands thermally when heated from the solid state and sags once as the crystal melts, and when the crystal melting progresses, the molecules relax and the springback temporarily rebounds. Is observed, and then it hangs down due to its own weight, but after springback, the crystals of the film are completely melted and the molecules are sufficiently relaxed, so that sufficient adhesive strength can be obtained.
On the other hand, if the heating time is too long, the film may hang down due to its own weight or may be deformed due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower chamber boxes. Therefore, the heating time is preferably less than 120 seconds after the end of springback.

When decorating a molded product having an uneven shape or achieving higher adhesive strength, it is preferable to supply compressed air when the decorative film is brought into close contact with the substrate. The pressure in the upper chamber box when compressed air is introduced is 150 kPa or more, preferably 200 kPa or more, and more preferably 250 kPa or more. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but if the pressure is too high, the equipment may be damaged. Therefore, 450 kPa or less, preferably 400 kPa or less is preferable.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail as examples, but the present invention is not limited to this example.
