(Prior art) Containers obtained by thermoforming polyethylene terephthalate sheets have excellent heat resistance as microwave/oven food containers, but they also have excellent moldability (especially short molding cycles) and excellent durability. A container that is both impact resistant has not yet been developed.

When thermoforming unmodified polyester that does not contain other components, in order to improve thermal stability at high temperatures, a molding cycle of 30 to 60 seconds is required to increase the degree of crystallization.
Productivity is extremely low, and when a nucleating agent such as inorganic particles is added to speed up the crystallization rate of polyethylene terephthalate, and a crank protection agent (preferably polyolefin) that has an impact-improving effect is added, the crystallization rate and impact resistance are extremely low. Although the properties were improved, the crystallinity of the final product increased too much due to the nucleating agent, so the impact strength, especially the impact strength at low temperatures, was not sufficient. Therefore, a method of blending polyethylene terephthalate with a polymer compound (preferably polyolefin) that shares the effect of promoting crystallization and improving impact has been considered, and the impact resistance has been improved, but the crystallization rate is poor, so high-speed molding In the cycle, there is a problem in that when the product is removed from the mold, the mold release is poor and the mold collapses, which significantly deteriorates the quality of the product.

Furthermore, in JP-A No. 58-63743, a crystallization accelerator such as a polymer compound having a metal salt of a carboxyl group and a impact improver such as a modified polyolefin are blended with BoJ ethylene terephthalate, and the injection molding cycle is However, since a modified polyolefin is used, there are problems such as coloration due to heat and poor heat resistance and mold release properties during molding.

Polyethylene terephthalate, which has a lower intrinsic viscosity, is more advantageous in terms of crystallization rate, but has a lower low-temperature impact, so it needs to be at least 0.6, preferably 0.75 or more.

On the other hand, those with an intrinsic viscosity of more than 1.1 are advantageous in terms of impact strength at low temperatures, but the crystallization rate during thermoforming slows down and causes adhesion to the mold surface, making it difficult to shorten the molding cycle. It is disadvantageous if you raise it.

On the other hand, if the amount is 2.0 parts by weight, If the above content is used, it is unsuitable because there is a risk of plate-out during thermoforming and contamination of the mold, no significant effect of promoting crystallization is observed, and molecular weight decreases as the amount added increases.

Increasing the crystallinity of polyethylene terephthalate improves its heat resistance, but it also has the property of becoming hard and brittle, so it is undesirable to unnecessarily increase the crystallinity of the product.In general, the crystallinity of the product is 15 or more. Approximately 30% is considered appropriate. If the crystallinity of the product is less than 15%, it will stick to the mold for taking out the thermoformed product, making it impossible to obtain sufficient dimensional stability.On the other hand, if the crystallinity of the product exceeds 30%, the impact strength will deteriorate. , especially the impact strength at low temperatures tends to decrease. If the crystallinity of the product greatly exceeds 35%, the container will often be damaged during transportation and handling at retail stores and homes. Generally, when an inorganic nucleating agent is used, the crystallization rate is fast and the molding cycle is shortened, but it may cause a decrease in the molecular weight of polyethylene terephthalate during sheet extrusion, or the crystallinity reached during thermoforming may be higher than necessary. This tends to reduce impact resistance. -On the other hand, when a polymeric nucleating agent is used, no decrease in the molecular weight of polyethylene terephthalate is observed, and the crystallinity reached during thermoforming can be kept low, making it possible to obtain products with excellent impact resistance. be. However, when thermoforming is carried out at high speeds, the crystallization rate is not sufficient and the degree of crystallinity necessary to easily remove the product from the mold cannot be achieved, resulting in significant appearance defects (deformation). Even if the molding cycle is lengthened, the crystallization rate is insufficient, so a high mold temperature is required, and even slight temperature changes during production often result in defective products.

There is no decrease in molecular weight or unnecessary increase in crystallinity during ripening, which occurs when inorganic nucleating agents are used, and the resulting product quickly reaches a stable crystallinity, making it highly resistant to low-temperature shock. You can get excellent results.

In the present invention, it is not clear why the crystallization of polyethylene terephthalate is greatly promoted by blending the fatty acid derivative, but when only the fatty acid derivative or only the fatty acid derivative is blended, the crystallization initiation temperature Although there is a decrease in By making the segments easier to move, it is thought to have the effect of shifting the crystallization initiation temperature to a lower temperature side and increasing the growth rate of polyethylene terephthalate crystals that grow from the core of inorganic particles or polyolefin. By using a diester or a fatty acid metal salt together with a fatty acid amide, the effect of promoting crystallization becomes greater.

If the intrinsic viscosity of polyethylene terephthalate is less than 0.6, crystallization will proceed quickly and the mold releasability will be excellent. Viscosity is 1.
If it is larger than 1, the progress of crystallization is slow, resulting in poor release properties from the mold. It can be seen that in the present invention, polyethylene terephthalate preferably has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.7 to 1.0. Generally, polyethylene terephthalate has a slow crystallization rate, but those containing a nucleating agent such as polyolefin or inorganic particles accelerate crystallization and
Thermoforming can be performed in a cycle of less than 0 seconds. However, products containing polyolefin as a nucleating agent have excellent impact resistance, but their crystallization speed is insufficient, resulting in poor release from the mold when the molding cycle is less than 7 seconds. By increasing the blending amount, mold release during thermoforming is improved, but on the other hand, heat resistance tends to decrease, and those containing 10% or more of polyolefin are
Not suitable for use above ℃. In addition, relatively low viscosity PE
By blending polyolefin with T, the crystallization rate is improved and the mold releasability is improved, but on the other hand, the impact improving effect of the polyolefin is significantly reduced.

On the other hand, when inorganic particles such as talc are blended into the nucleating agent, the crystallization rate progresses quickly and the mold release properties are excellent, but the impact resistance is poor, and this tendency also occurs when polyolefin as an impact modifier is used together. However, when polyolefin and fatty acid diester or fatty acid metal salt are blended, the crystallization initiation temperature is lowered and the crystallization rate is greatly improved, so high-speed heating by low-temperature molds is possible. Molding becomes possible. Moreover, the appearance and physical properties (heat resistance and low-temperature impact strength) of the obtained product were very excellent.
