Abstract

PURPOSE:To relatively easily and quickly sort the remolding of a crystalline thermoplastic by using such a thermoplastic that the melting quantity of heat of the plastic measured with a thermal analyzing instrument is higher than that of the initial polymer (virgin polymer) polymerized from a monomer by a fixed rate. CONSTITUTION:The melting heat quantity measured by DSC when such operations that polypropylene is cooled after it is maintained in a molten state at 230 deg.C for one hour are repeated twice is 80.26J/g. The melting heat quantity of the virgin polymer of polypropylene measured by DSC is 96.36J/g. From the above, it can be found that the melting heat quantity of a recycled polymer is lower than that of its virgin polymer by about 17%. Therefore, the degree of thermal deterioration of the recycled polymer can be recognized and the mixing ratio of the recycled polymer can be decided from the relation between the degree of thermal deterioration and the quality of a final product.

2. Description of the Related Art Recycle molding of thermoplastic crystalline plastics has been conventionally recommended from the viewpoint of effective utilization of global resources. For example, plastic moldings, polymer bottles, films, fibers, etc. are widely recycled and molded. This recycle molding is not a simple one in which the recovered polymer is simply melted into chips and then remelted and supplied to the raw material system. Recycled polymers are not as good as virgin polymers (polymers after polymerization from monomers), so it is necessary to devise measures that do not reduce the quality level of the molded product. Therefore, in order to reuse the recycled polymer, in many cases, a certain amount of the recycled polymer is mixed with the virgin polymer before use. For example, the mixing amount is determined according to the type, such as 5 to 30%. Further, when using 100% recycled polymer, it is used only for products of not so high quality.

However, even if a certain amount of recycled polymer is mixed in the virgin polymer or if the recycled polymer itself is molded with 100% recycled polymer, if the recycled polymer itself is subjected to heat history many times, the molded product will be a gelled polymer. In some cases, defects may be generated due to the inclusion of the above, or foreign matter may be easily generated, which may cause fatal damage to the molded product. For example, the problem is that a large number of defective products are produced after molding.

[0004] In the conventional method, such a trouble has often occurred because a method for selecting recycled polymer has not been established. That is, the plastic material is partially degraded (decomposed) by receiving heat during the manufacturing process and molding process.
To do. Especially when it is regenerated and used many times, the original characteristics are gradually lost. There is a demand for a measuring method capable of quickly and appropriately evaluating such characteristics.

According to the above-mentioned constitution of the present invention, the amount of heat of fusion measured by using the thermal analysis device is equal to or more than a certain ratio of the amount of heat of fusion of the first polymer polymerized from the monomer. It is possible to prevent contamination of abnormally deteriorated polymers and always reuse good recycled polymers. That is, in a thermoplastic crystalline plastic, the degree of crystallinity and the amount of heat of fusion are usually reduced when deterioration and decomposition are promoted. This is measured and used as an index for material evaluation. Further, the heat of fusion measurement using a thermal analyzer is a measurement means that can be relatively simple and quick without requiring pretreatment, and is an excellent selection method.
