Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

This invention relates to plastisol compositions. More specifically, the present invention relates to vinyl chloride resin plastisol compositions that provide molded articles having a dull or matte surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Plastisol is a resin powder mixed and dispersed in a plasticizer at room temperature. It is cold-molded at room temperature or at a low temperature to give a desired shape, and then melted and gelled at a high temperature to obtain a product. Among plastisols, vinyl chloride resin plastisols are used for a wide range of purposes. In particular, a floor material or a wallpaper is formed by applying a resin composition on a substrate at a constant thickness at a high speed, followed by heat molding, and such a high-speed coating process has high productivity and wide design. Therefore, the demand is increasing. Conventionally, the surface layer of flooring materials and vinyl chloride-coated steel sheets have been required to have a matte finish that is not glossy and has a dry feel. Various proposals have been made so far as a method for realizing a matte surface. For example, in the "Rubber Digest" June 1966 issue of "Technical Note on Vinyl Chloride Paste Processing",
A coarse-blended plastisol is presented. This is a blending resin having an average particle size of 20 to 70 μm, which is usually used by substituting a part of the resin particles for the purpose of lowering the viscosity or cost of the plastisol, and having a fine particle size as a product by suspension polymerization. This is a method of adding powder to a resin for plastisol to roughen the surface of the coating film. According to this method, since the amount of the plasticizer can be reduced due to the effect of reducing the viscosity, a matte and dry-feeling surface can be obtained.
Inevitable drawbacks are the appearance of protrusions on the surface and a poor appearance. Further, Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-58858 proposes a method of using a resin containing a large amount of a gel component insoluble in a solvent as a plastisol resin, but this method causes insufficient gelation of a molded article. However, there is a drawback in that the mechanical strength of the molded product is low.

[0003]

Under the circumstances, the present invention can provide a matte, dry-feeling surface of a molded film, and a molded product having sufficient mechanical strength. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vinyl chloride resin plastisol composition.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION As a result of intensive studies to develop a plastisol composition having the above-mentioned preferable properties, the present inventors have found that resin particles for plastisol containing a large amount of cross-linked polymer and the cross-linked polymer. It has been found that the purpose can be achieved by using fine particles not containing the same, and the present invention has been completed based on this finding. That is, the present invention provides (1) (A) 80% by weight of particles having a particle size of 0.5 to 10 μm.
Above, the tetrahydrofuran insoluble matter is 30 to 60
60 to 95 parts by weight of vinyl chloride-based resin, which is wt%,
(B) 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride-based resin consisting of 40 to 5 parts by weight of vinyl chloride-based resin consisting essentially of tetrahydrofuran-soluble components, with 80% by weight or more of particles having a particle size of 0.1 to 0.4 μm Part, and (C) a plastisol composition consisting of 30 to 250 parts by weight of a plasticizer, and (2) further blending 30 to 70 parts by weight of a blending resin having an average particle size of 20 to 70 μm. A plastisol composition is provided.

The particle size of the component (A) of the composition of the present invention is 0.1.
As the vinyl chloride resin containing 80 to 50% by weight of particles of 5 to 10 μm and containing 30 to 60% by weight of tetrahydrofuran insoluble matter, a vinyl chloride homopolymer or a vinyl chloride copolymer having 60% by weight or more of vinyl chloride units is used. Coalescence can be used. The other monomer component of the vinyl chloride copolymer is not particularly limited as long as it can be copolymerized with vinyl chloride, and examples thereof include vinyl halides such as vinyl fluoride; carboxylates such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate. Acid vinyl ester; vinyl ether such as methyl vinyl ether, hydroxybutyl vinyl ether and cetyl vinyl ether; allyl compound such as allyl chloride, allyl alcohol, allyl ethyl ether and allyl-2-hydroxyethyl ether; vinylidene compound such as vinylidene chloride and vinylidene fluoride; Monomethyl maleate, diethyl maleate, monobutyl maleate, butylbenzyl maleate, di-2-hydroxyethyl maleate, dimethyl itaconate, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, (meth Unsaturated carboxylic acid esters such as lauryl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, 2-N, N-dimethylaminoethyl (meth) acrylate; maleic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, maleic acid, fumaric acid Acid, (meta)

Particles having a size of 10 μm are 80% by weight or more, preferably 90% by weight or more on a weight basis. 8 particles in the above range
If it is less than 0% by weight, the viscosity of the plastisol becomes high, or the surface of the molded article becomes sticky by increasing the amount of the plasticizer in order to reduce the viscosity. Further, if the main component of the particle size of the component (A) exceeds 10 μm, it becomes difficult to form a sol. Conversely, if it is less than 0.5 μm, the sol viscosity increases and the matting effect decreases.

The component (A) of the composition of the present invention contains 30 to 60% by weight of tetrahydrofuran insoluble matter. For the tetrahydrofuran insoluble matter, 1 g of a vinyl chloride resin sample was added to 50 g of tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture was placed under stirring at 40 ° C. for 24 hours, and then the insoluble matter was precipitated and separated by a centrifugal force of 2,500 G for 10 minutes and then at 40 ° C. It is the ratio of the weight of the insoluble matter obtained by vacuum drying to the weight of the resin sample. If the content of the tetrahydrofuran insoluble in the vinyl chloride resin as the component (A) is less than 30% by weight, sufficient matting property may not be obtained. If the content of tetrahydrofuran insoluble in the vinyl chloride resin as the component (A) exceeds 60% by weight, the mechanical strength of the molded product may decrease.

In the seeded emulsion polymerization, a polyfunctional monomer for the purpose of gel formation is added in both the polymerization reaction of core particles and the polymerization reaction of enlargement, or at the stage of the polymerization reaction of enlargement. Add in. In the seed emulsion polymerization, a latex in which vinyl chloride resin particles having a sharp particle size distribution of about 1 μm are usually dispersed is obtained, but a particle component having a sharp particle size distribution of about 0.2 μm is often obtained.

Is. In emulsion polymerization, a latex of resin particles having a narrow particle size distribution of 0.1 to 0.3 μm is usually obtained. From the vinyl chloride resin latex obtained by emulsion polymerization, resin particles can be recovered by spray drying, coagulation, filtration, rotary drying, or the like. The type of spray dryer to be used is not particularly limited, and the same spray dryer of the pressure nozzle type or the rotating disk type used for drying the resin particles of the component (A) can be used. After the drying process, passing through a pulverizer for the purpose of disintegrating coarse agglomerated particles in droplet units, especially when sprayed, is effective in preventing the occurrence of particulate projections and streaks on the coated surface in coating applications. is there.

Preferably, it can be used by adding 30 to 70 parts by weight. Conventionally, when the blending resin is added to an ordinary plastisol resin, the molded article has a problem that rough projections are conspicuous on the surface to impair the appearance and the mechanical strength is deteriorated. However, in the composition of the present invention, the addition of the resin for blending further enhances the effect of matting, and the molded product has a great feature that the mechanical strength is strong and the surface appearance is not damaged. is there. This is because the mechanical strength can be secured by gelling the component (B) in which the plasticizer easily penetrates, and the component (A) that hardly absorbs the plasticizer is also interposed between the blending resins that hardly absorb the plasticizer. It is thought that this makes the protrusions less noticeable. The method for preparing the plastisol composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and a method conventionally used for preparing plastisol can be used. For example, resin particles, a plasticizer and other optional components used as desired, using a known mixer such as a planetary mixer, kneader, roll,
The plastisol composition of the present invention can be prepared by thoroughly mixing and stirring. The plastisol composition thus obtained is, for example, a floor material surface layer, a wall covering material,
By using it for a coated steel sheet or the like, it is possible to obtain a formed coating film having a matte surface, a dry-feeling surface, and high mechanical strength.

[Note] 1) ZEON 103ZXA, manufactured by Nippon Zeon Co., Ltd., average particle size 40 μm. Examples 1 to 3 satisfying the requirements of the invention of the present application all provided sheets having a remarkable matting effect, a smooth surface, and a dry feel. Further, the tensile strengths of these were all sufficiently large. Resin for ordinary plastisol c
The sheet obtained only by using it has a smooth surface and sufficient tensile strength, but gives a glossy and wet feel (Comparative Example 1). When a resin component having 30% by weight of coarse-grained blending resin mixed therein is mixed, gloss and feel are improved to some extent, but many protruding particles appear on the surface of the sheet and the appearance is impaired (Comparative Example 2). In that respect, in the present invention example, the surface smoothness is good even if the blending resin is mixed in a form of 40% by weight substitution (Example 2). In Comparative Examples 4 and 7 in which the resin as the component (A) was used alone, the resin was slightly glossy and the tensile strength decreased. Resin (a) as component (A)
When an equal weight of fine resin (B) is used together with (B)
There are too many ingredients to give a slightly glossy sheet (Comparative Example 6). Even if the resin e as the component (B) is used in a specified amount,
If the amount of gel of the component resin is too small, matting becomes insufficient (Comparative Example 3). Further, when the resin p for the usual plastisol is blended in place of the resin e as the component (B) in Example 1, a little gloss appears (Comparative Example 8).
