The present invention relates to two-piece solid golf balls. The two-piece solid golf ball, which was developed to improve the poor durability of thread-wound golf balls, consists of an integrally molded solid core and a cover that covers it. The material for the cover is natural rubber, which is an ionomer resin made by chemically bonding metal ions to an ethylene copolymer, because it has excellent mechanical strength, especially cut resistance when struck, and moderate elasticity. It has come to be used instead of etc. However, there is still room for improvement in this kind of conventional two-piece solid golf ball in terms of rebound resilience (initial velocity of the ball at impact) and durability, especially low-temperature durability. The gist is that a composition containing 100 parts by weight of base rubber, 10 to 60 parts by weight of a metal salt of an unsaturated fatty acid, 40 to 70 parts by weight of zinc oxide, and 1 to 5 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent is heated. The solid core obtained by hardening has a Shore D hardness of 65 or more and a tensile strength of
250~300Kg/ cm2 and embrittlement temperature -100~-110℃,
MI (Melt Index) = 0.7 to 2.0, 40 to 45 parts by weight of ionomer resin with melting point of 88°C, Shore D hardness of 65 or more, tensile strength of 275 to 320 Kg/cm 2 and embrittlement temperature -
100~-110℃, MI=2.3~3.0, melting point 90℃ ionomer resin 40~45 parts by weight, Shore D hardness 60~
64, tensile strength 200-230Kg/ cm2 and embrittlement temperature -70
~-80℃, MI=8-12, 5-10 parts by weight of ionomer resin with melting point 96℃ and Shore D hardness 60~
64, tensile strength 190-220Kg/ cm2 and embrittlement temperature -75
The present invention relates to a two-piece solid golf ball coated with a cover mainly composed of 5 to 10 parts by weight of an ionomer resin having a temperature of -85°C, an MI of 4.5 to 8.0, and a melting point of 94°C. Examples of the base rubber used in the present invention include polybutadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, natural rubber, and high styrene resin, but polybutadiene rubber, particularly cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber, is preferred. Examples of metal salts of unsaturated fatty acids used in the present invention include zinc salts and magnesium salts of unsaturated fatty acids having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, such as acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, but in particular zinc acrylate and/or
Or zinc methacrylate is preferred. The metal salt of unsaturated fatty acid is used in an amount of 10 to 60 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the base rubber. If the metal salt is less than 10 parts by weight, sufficient hardness will not be obtained and the initial velocity of the ball at impact will be low, and if it is more than 60 parts by weight, the ball will become too hard and the initial velocity will decrease. Zinc oxide is used as a weight adjuster.
Its compounding amount is usually 40 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the base rubber.
~70 parts by weight. Other conventional fillers, such as barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, silica, etc., may be used as appropriate weight regulators. Examples of the crosslinking agent used to impart optimum hardness to the solid core include peroxides such as dicumyl peroxide and azo compounds such as azobisisobutylnitrile, with dicumyl peroxide being particularly preferred. The amount of crosslinking agent blended is usually 1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the base rubber, and if a crosslinking agent outside this range is used, it will be difficult to obtain a core with optimum hardness. The core composition obtained by blending the above components is kneaded using a conventional kneading machine, such as a Banbury mixer or roll, and press-molded at about 140 to 170°C by a conventional method to form a standard integrally molded solid core. shall be. The cover that covers the integrally molded solid core is mainly made of an ionomer resin, and if necessary, an inorganic filler such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, etc. may be appropriately blended for the purpose of coloring. The ionomer resin used in the present invention is a thermoplastic resin obtained by imparting a cross-metallic bond to a polymer of monoolefin and at least one selected from the group consisting of unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acids and esters thereof, preferably monoolefin. and at least one member selected from the group consisting of unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acids having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and their esters (unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acids and/or their esters 4 to 30
The following four types of mixed resins are selected from the following four types of thermoplastic resins with cross-metallic bonds added (% by weight). That is, Shore D hardness is 65 or more and tensile strength is 250 or more.

4.5 to 8.0 and a melting point of 94°C (hereinafter referred to as ionomer resin) 5 to 10
It is a mixed resin consisting of parts by weight. If the blending ratio of the ionomer resin, , and is outside the above range, it will be difficult to achieve the intended purpose of the present invention. If the amount of ionomer resin is less than 40 parts by weight, the initial velocity of the ball will decrease and durability will also be reduced, and if it is more than 45 parts by weight, low temperature durability will deteriorate.
If the ionomer resin is less than 40 parts by weight, the initial velocity of the ball will decrease, and if it is more than 45 parts by weight, the moldability will deteriorate and the fusion strength will decrease. If the amount of ionomer resin is less than 5 parts by weight, the fusing force will decrease, and if it is more than 10 parts by weight, the initial ball speed will decrease. If the amount of ionomer resin is less than 5 parts by weight, moldability will deteriorate, and if it is more than 10 parts by weight, the initial ball speed will decrease. The method of covering the solid core with the cover is not particularly limited, but usually the solid core is wrapped with two covers that have been previously formed into a hemispherical shell shape, and the solid core is press-molded at about 170° C. for 2 minutes. Alternatively, the cover composition may be injection molded to enclose the solid core. The two-piece solid golf ball obtained as described above has excellent rebound resilience (initial velocity) and durability, which were insufficient in conventional products of the same type.
This is a golf ball with improved low-temperature durability and poor feel when hit. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to Examples. Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 The core compositions according to the formulations shown in Table 1 were pressure-molded in a mold at 150°C for 30 minutes to produce cores with a diameter of 37.1 mm. The obtained core was covered in a conventional manner using a cover having the formulation shown in Table 1 to produce a small size two-piece golf ball. Table 1 shows the physical properties of the obtained ball.
