The present invention relates to a polypropylene composition, and more particularly to a polypropylene composition that has characteristics such as being resistant to deterioration even when irradiated with radiation. When polypropylene molded products are used as medical instruments, they may be irradiated with radiation such as gamma rays for the purpose of sterilization. In this case, the molded product itself deteriorates due to the radiation, and the tensile elongation of the molded product decreases significantly, making it extremely brittle, which in turn causes problems such as yellowing and cracking, which is practically a problem. It was hot. As a method for preventing the deterioration of polyolefin due to radiation irradiation, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 1983-19199 and 1982-
42638, JP-A-58-49737, and other publications, a method of adding a hindered amine compound or a phenol compound to a resin is known. 2.5~ for normal polypropylene compositions
Deterioration progresses due to cobalt 60 irradiation at 3.0 Mrad, and the elongation after irradiation decreases significantly. However, the effects of imparting radiation resistance using the above-mentioned additives have not yet been fully demonstrated, and the commercial value of molded products has often been impaired due to the coloring of the additives. In view of the above circumstances, the present inventors have arrived at the present invention as a result of research, and the present invention includes:
A polypropylene composition comprising 0.05 to 1 part by weight of triallyl isocyanurate and/or triallyl cyanurate per 100 parts by weight of polypropylene or ethylene-propylene copolymer. The ethylene-propylene copolymers used in the present invention include random copolymers and block copolymers. Copolymers are preferred. Melt index (MFI,
According to JIS K 6758, the load is 2.16Kg and the temperature is 230℃.
same as below. ) is not particularly limited, and the preferable range varies depending on the molding method, but in the case of injection molding, MFI is in the range of 1 to 50. When the composition of the present invention is irradiated, the MFI
The composition of the present invention can prevent molded articles from deterioration and yellowing. The amount of triallyl isocyanurate and/or triallyl cyanurate is based on 100 parts by weight of resin.
The amount is preferably 0.05 to 1 part by weight, and more preferably 0.05 to 0.5 part by weight. If it is less than 0.05 part by weight, the effect will be poor, the resin will deteriorate and the tensile elongation will decrease,
If it exceeds 1 part by weight, the tensile elongation tends to decrease. The composition of the present invention may be blended with polypropylene or ethylene-propylene rubber to impart cold resistance, or may be blended with sodium benzoate, dibenzylidene sorbitol, bis(P-methyl Add clarifying agents and nucleating agents such as benzylidene) sorbitol, or add antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, lubricants, antistatic agents, anti-blocking agents, splitting agents, neutralizing agents, etc., depending on the purpose. Can be added. The composition of the present invention may be formed into a molded article in any way, but generally, it is prepared by mixing powdered polypropylene or ethylene-propylene copolymer with triallyl isocyanurate or triallyl cyanurate and, if necessary, a blend of the above various types. After adding materials or additives and mixing appropriately, the mixture is melt-kneaded in an extruder to form pellets, and the pellets are made into molded products by injection molding or the like. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples. Examples 1 to 5, Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Triallyl isocyanurate and/or triallyl cyanurate as listed in Table 1 were added to polymers, polymers, and polymers, which were pellets having the following compositions, and mixed. rear
It was extruded at 220°C using a 40mmφ extruder to form pellets. Using this pellet, the injection temperature was 230℃ and the injection pressure was 750Kg/cm 2 to 2mm using a 10oz injection molding machine.
A flat plate with a thickness of 10 cm x 12 cm was obtained. Cobalt 60 in this
Evaluation was performed by irradiating gamma rays at 3.0 Mrad with a radiation source.
The results are shown in Table 1.
