(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for producing a pencil lead that improves strength without impairing density or writing feel. (Prior Art) The general method for manufacturing conventional pencil leads is to use organic substances that are carbonized when fired at high temperatures, such as natural resins, synthetic resins, coal tar pitch, asphalt, and thermosetting initial condensates, either singly or in combination. The body is kneaded with a colorant such as graphite or carbon black, extruded into a desired shape, and then fired at a high temperature to carbonize it. Most of the inventions proposed so far to improve the strength of pencil lead relate to the selection and processing methods of binders and auxiliary agents, and include the use of binders with a large amount of carbon residue after firing. things to do,
This method involves increasing the amount of carbon remaining after firing by using auxiliary agents and heat treatment conditions, and aims to improve the strength by increasing the amount of carbon remaining. However, although this method improves the strength, it also reduces the concentration.
In addition, the lubricity characteristic of graphite is enveloped by the residual carbon mass, resulting in a hard and heavy writing experience, and in extreme cases, for example, a phenomenon occurs in which the writing sticks to the paper surface. Next, methods to improve density and writing feel include adding a depolymerizable polymer substance together with a binder or colorant and depolymerizing it during heat treatment, or adding a sublimable organic compound and sublimating it during heat treatment. These methods form fine pores in the core, improving the density and writing quality, but on the other hand, the disadvantage is that the bonding force between the binding material and the coloring material does not improve, and no improvement in strength can be expected. exists. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a pencil lead that can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and improve the strength without impairing the density or writing feel. (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is characterized by polymerizing methacrylic acid ester on the surface which is compatible with the binder, the kneading aid, and the thermoplastic resin used as the binder and which depolymerizes during heat treatment. The surface-modified coloring material, graphite, is mixed with a Henschel chimiser, etc., then kneaded with a pressure kneader, two rolls, etc., then extruded into a core material, and then heated at 100 to 200℃. After heat treatment to remove residual plasticizer and thermal decomposition products, it is fired in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 900 to 1200℃ to depolymerize the polymethacrylate ester and form pores uniformly in the core. Then, the lead is immersed in spindle oil to be impregnated with oil to produce a pencil lead. In the present invention, the proportion of methacrylic acid ester polymerized on the graphite surface as a colorant is 1% by weight of graphite.
-15%, preferably 5-10%. In addition, thermoplastic resins such as vinyl acetate resin, vinyl chloride resin, acrylic resin, and copolymers thereof are effective as the binder used in the present invention, and the kneading aid used in the present invention Examples include lubricants such as paraffin wax, carnapa wax, and stearic acid, and plasticizers such as DOP, DBP, and DBS. (Function) In the present invention, by polymerizing methacrylic ester on the surface of graphite as a coloring agent, the thermoplastic resin as a binding material and methacrylic ester are compatible with each other during kneading with a binding material and a kneading aid. This improves the adhesion between graphite and the binder, and during firing, the methacrylic acid ester depolymerizes and forms uniform microbore inside without leaving any carbon residue, increasing oil absorption. This results in improved strength without sacrificing density or writing feel. (Example) Examples of the present invention and test results thereof are described below. (1) First Example 55 parts of graphite polymerized with 9% of the weight of graphite methacrylic ester (hereinafter referred to as MMA) on the surface of graphite, 45 parts of polyvinyl chloride, and 0.5 parts of stearic acid.
and 23 parts of DBP were mixed in a Henschel chimiser, kneaded in a pressure kneader and two rolls, and then formed into a core by extrusion molding. Heat-treated for an hour to solidify, then in a nitrogen atmosphere at 10°C/hr from room temperature to 300°C, and at 30°C from 300°C to 1000°C.
It is sublimated at ℃/hr, then fired at 1000℃ for 1 hour, and finally immersed in spindle oil to obtain a pencil lead. (2) Second Example Instead of the graphite polymerized with 9% MMA used in the first example above, graphite polymerized with 5% MMA was used, other compositions were kept the same, and a pencil lead was produced through the same process. get. (3) Test results The test results for density, coefficient of friction, and bending strength of the pencil leads obtained in the first and second examples above were conducted in accordance with JIS-S6019 as follows. be. For comparison, the test results for a pencil lead produced using graphite without MMA polymerization in place of the graphite polymerized with MMA in the first example are also listed.

[Table] (Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is characterized by using graphite on the surface of which methacrylic acid ester has been polymerized as a coloring material. It is possible to obtain a pencil lead that does not impair the writing feel (friction coefficient is one criterion for writing taste) and has significantly increased strength.
