The present invention relates to a method for reducing acetic acid bromination of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be used as a film,
It is used in a wide range of fields such as molded products, adhesives, and polymer modifiers, but the product produces an odor due to the odor of the raw material vinyl acetate monomer and the odor of acetic acid generated during the molding process. and may be disliked. Of these, most of the vinyl acetate monomer odor can be physically removed during copolymer production, but the acetic acid odor generated during molding is difficult to physically remove, and compared to conventional methods. , calcium oxide (Japanese Patent Publication No. 37-6626), organometallic salts and aliphatic polyhydric alcohols (Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-13855), higher aliphatic metal compounds (Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-31690), or group metal water Oxides, oxides, carbonates or alcoholates (JP-A-46-12338), metal soaps and organic phosphites, etc. (JP-A-49-37116), activated carbon (JP-A-49-99545), organic Amines (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 1973)
A method of suppressing the generation of free acetic acid during high-temperature processing has been proposed by adding an oil-soluble alkylaryl sulfonate (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 50-55646). However, most of these additives are undesirable because they impair the transparency of the product, cause coloring, generate a strange odor, and have the risk of corroding the inner surface of the molding machine. Therefore, the present inventor has discovered that by adding an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of an oxyacid having 6 or more carbon atoms to an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, the method can be more effectively used than the various known methods described above. It suppresses the generation of free acetic acid during high-temperature molding, does not impair product transparency, and does not have any adverse effects on the human body even when used as a base material for food packaging. The present invention was completed by discovering a low acetic acid bromination method for ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The alkali or alkaline earth metal salts of oxyacids having 6 or less carbon atoms used in the present invention include sodium glycolate, calcium lactate, sodium L- or DL-malate, potassium tartrate, sodium tartrate, calcium tartrate, potassium sodium tartrate, Sodium hydrogen tartrate, potassium hydrogen tartrate, potassium citrate, sodium citrate,
It is a compound selected from calcium citrate, monocalcium citrate, etc. The reason why the above salts suppress the generation of free acetic acid is not necessarily clear, but since the ionization constants at 25°C of the oxyacids considered to be the raw materials for the above salts are all larger than that of acetic acid, It is presumed that this is because the acid salt reacts with free acetic acid and suppresses the chain reaction of generating free acetic acid. In the present invention, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is a copolymer consisting of ethylene and vinyl acetate, and the appropriate amount of the alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of oxyacid to be added is as follows:
It varies depending on the composition of the copolymer, but in all cases it is 0.2
By adding in an amount of 5 parts by weight, the copolymer can be reduced in acetic acid bromination. In the present invention, there is no problem in using additives normally added to ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, such as antioxidants, slip agents, anti-blocking agents, ultraviolet inhibitors, pigments, and inorganic fillers. Example 1 For 50 g of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer with a melt index of 3.0 and a vinyl acetate content of 18% by weight,
0.5g of various compounds were added and kneaded at 150°C for 5 minutes using a Brabender Plus graph. this mixture
The mixture was pressed at 150°C for 5 minutes to form a sheet and pelletize. This pellet was subjected to gas analysis using an F-45 head space analyzer (manufactured by PerkinElmer). The method is to use a capacity containing 5g of pellets.
A 20 ml vial was kept at 100°C for 2 hours, then heated with helium at 1.5 bar for 3 seconds. Chromatopack CRA-1 to detect the acetic acid peak that appeared at 1.6 minutes (time).
(manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). Next, the mixture was formed into a 100 μm film by press molding, and the degree of haze was measured using NDH-2D (manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Kogyo). The results are shown in Table 1.

This mixture was subjected to acetic acid gas analysis and haze measurement in the same manner as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2.
