DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a composition of an ethylene-propylene block copolymer and a multicomponent pigment containing a black component. When polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or blends thereof are colored with multi-component pigments, carbon-based pigments such as carbon black, furnace black, acetylene black, bone black, lamp black, graphite, iron, copper, A fired pigment which is an oxide of a metal such as chromium or an organic pigment such as a phthalocyanine pigment (cyanine black) or an aniline black is used as the black component pigment, and carbon black is generally used from the viewpoint of economical efficiency. On the other hand, the performance required for products has become increasingly diverse, and conventional polyolefins or their blends are insufficient to meet these demands, and copolymer type polyolefins, especially block copolymer type polyolefins, are required. Often. Generally, when coloring polyolefin, pigments dispersed with metal soap etc. and polyolefin are blended in a mixer etc., and then molded as is, or
Alternatively, the blend is melt extruded and molded using cut color pellets. However, when an ethylene-propylene block copolymer is colored with a black pigment, especially a multi-component pigment containing carbon black as a black component, which is commonly used from an economic point of view, color unevenness is likely to occur due to the uneven distribution of carbon black. In injection molding used to mold products, color unevenness is likely to occur in areas where the molten resin is subjected to frictional force or shearing force, such as near pin gates or in thin-walled areas of the product. For example, when ethylene-propylene block copolymer is blended with carbon black and red red red and colored brown and injection molded, a region with a low concentration of carbon black, that is, a region with a low degree of blackness, appears around the pin gate, resulting in a red striped pattern. appears. This color unevenness is an extremely serious problem in terms of product value, and is especially fatal for large parts to which ethylene-propylene block copolymers are applied because the presence of color unevenness is extremely noticeable. Recently, calcium carbonate, talc,
Fillers such as barium sulfate and glass fiber are increasingly being added. When coloring systems containing such fillers, the concentration of pigment used is often higher than for systems without fillers in order to counteract the coloring power of the fillers themselves. As the concentration of pigment used increases, the color unevenness tends to become more pronounced, and from this point of view as well, it is particularly important to eliminate color unevenness when coloring ethylene-propylene block copolymers. Such color unevenness due to multi-component pigments does not occur in homopolymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and in copolymer resins, especially ethylene-propylene block copolymers, the black pigment is about 10 to 80% by weight of the multi-component pigments. This is likely to occur when the drug is mixed with other substances, and the cause is not necessarily clear. As mentioned above, ethylene-propylene-block copolymers are used for large molded parts such as automobile interior parts because of their excellent properties, and eliminating color unevenness is an extremely important problem. One of the major causes of this color unevenness is due to the uneven distribution of the black component of the multi-component pigment used for coloring, so after studying various black pigments, a specific black pigment is used as the black component of the multi-component pigment. By doing so, it was possible to obtain a polyolefin resin composition that does not cause this color unevenness. That is, the present invention is a pigment-containing polyolefin composition comprising 99.9 to 95% by weight of an ethylene-propylene block copolymer and 0.1 to 5% by weight of a multicomponent pigment containing 10 to 80% by weight of iron black as a black component. . The ethylene/propylene block copolymer used in the present invention is a block copolymer having an ethylene content of 1 to 50% by weight and a propylene content of 99 to 50% by weight. The method for producing this copolymer is described, for example, in Japanese Patent Publications No. 40-11623, No. 43-11230, and No. 44-16668. In the block copolymer of the present invention, a part of the ethylene or propylene may be replaced with a C 4 to C 6 olefin. The iron black used as the black component of the multi-component pigment in the present invention contains 95% or more of iron oxide () iron () (triiron tetroxide) represented by the general formula Fe 3 O 4 and has an average particle size of 0.1 to 1. 1.0 black pigment. The amount of iron black used as a black component in a multi-component pigment ranges from 10 to 80% by weight of the multi-component pigment and varies depending on the desired color tone. That is, the larger the amount, the stronger the blackness. Further, outside the above range, that is, when the black pigment is unilaterally large or small, color unevenness does not occur. Pigments that are other components of the other component pigments used in combination with this black pigment are pigments that are generally used for coloring polyolefins, and are not particularly limited, but examples of inorganic pigments include red iron oxide, titanium oxide, cadmium yellow, and cadmium red. , zinc white, ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, calcium carbonate, titanium yellow, lead white, red lead, yellow lead, and navy blue. Examples of organic pigments include quinacridone, polyazo yellow, anthraquinone yellow, polyazole, azo lake yellow, perylene, phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, and isoindolinone yellow. Multi-component pigments containing 10 to 80% by weight of iron black generally contain 0.1 to 5% by weight of iron black when blended with the ethylene-propylene block copolymer.
% by weight is used. If it is more than 5% by weight, there is generally no change in color tone even if it is used more than this, and if it is less than 0.1% by weight, the color is too weak. Usually 0.4 to 2.5% by weight is used. The composition of the present invention may contain appropriate amounts of other resins, fillers, or additives such as dispersants, antioxidants, and lubricants, as desired. That is, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, rubber components such as ethylene-propylene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and polyisobutylene, and inorganic and organic fillers such as talc, clay, silica, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, glass fiber, and wood flour. or reinforcing materials, and various additives. Even when other components are blended into the composition of the present invention, the blending ratio of the multicomponent pigment to the ethylene/propylene block copolymer is selected within the above-mentioned range. The blending and molding of the pigment into the polyolefin to produce the pigment-containing polyolefin composition according to the present invention can be carried out by conventional methods, for example, as a powder (dry color method), as a color concentrate (masterbatch method), or as a liquid ( (liquid color method), or molded with a color compound using an extruder or injection molding machine. When the polyolefin resin composition of the present invention is made into a molded product, it can achieve uniform pigment dispersion and do not cause color unevenness, despite the heat or shearing force during the molding process, resulting in a product with an excellent appearance. can get. Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Aniline black with an average particle size of about 2μ, iron black containing 96% by weight of triiron tetroxide with an average particle size of about 0.27μ, cyanine black with an average particle size of about 3μ, furnace Carbon, chromium oxide fired pigments, red iron and organic mixed pigments (phthalocyanine green:
A mixture of isoindolinone yellow = 1:6) with a predetermined blending ratio of each pigment and an ethylene content of 8% by weight,
After mixing with an ethylene/propylene block copolymer having an MFR of 1.8 using a super mixer (manufactured by Kawada Seisakusho), the mixture was granulated using a single screw extruder (manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) to obtain colored pellets. Next, using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Taki Seisakusho), the pellets were molded into a 350 mm molding machine containing a predetermined amount of pigment components.
A plate-shaped molded product measuring 100 mm x 2 mm (the gate was a pin gate with a diameter of 1 mm) was molded, and the occurrence of color unevenness was observed. The results are shown in Table 1. From this result, when the ethylene propylene block copolymer used in the present invention is colored with a multi-component pigment, materials using iron black instead of carbon black as the black pigment component prevent color unevenness in molded products. It is clear that it is an excellent material. For reference, we also experimented with a material in which polypropylene (MFR2.0) was colored with a multi-component pigment containing carbon black as the black pigment component (Reference Example 1 in Table 1), but in this case, color unevenness was observed. It was observed that the color unevenness was unique to copolymer-type polymers. Examples 6 to 9 and Comparative Examples 5 and 6 Various colored pellets were obtained in the same manner as in the above Examples and Comparative Examples, and during injection molding, average particles were added to various pigments and other resin components as an inorganic filler. A predetermined amount of precipitated barium sulfate with a diameter of 1μ is blended,
The occurrence of color unevenness in molded products made with the composition components shown in Table 1 was observed. The results are shown in Table 1. 【table】
