Description

Resin composition excellent in paintability and brake oil resistance {RESIN COMPOSITION WITH PRINTABILITY AND GOOD BREAK OIL RESISTANCE}

The present invention relates to a resin composition, and more particularly to a resin composition excellent in brake oil resistance and paintability.

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer resin is manufactured by graft-polymerizing the styrene monomer which is an aromatic compound, and the acrylonitrile monomer which is an unsaturated nitrile-type compound to the butadiene-type rubbery polymer. The butadiene-based rubbery polymer imparts flexibility and impact resistance, and the styrene monomer and acrylonitrile monomer impart excellent processability and chemical resistance, respectively. Therefore, the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer resins have been used for various purposes by controlling the respective contents according to the purpose, and the range thereof has gradually expanded for coating of automobiles, motorcycles, and the like.

However, in general, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer resin is poor in chemical resistance, and when manufactured by injection molding and actually used as a product, the mechanical strength of the contacting site decreases due to contact with chemicals, There is a problem that breakage or softening occurs. In particular, since the brake oil resistance is greatly required in certain parts such as automobiles and motorcycles, it has been common to increase the molecular weight of the copolymer resin or to supplement the brake oil resistance by introducing an ASA resin or a lubricant. However, when the molecular weight of the copolymer resin is increased or ASA is applied, the paintability is lowered, and when a lubricant is used, the peeling phenomenon of the molded product may be brought about. There is also a drawback to this.

In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors use two types of vinyl copolymers having different content and molecular weight distribution of vinyl cyanide compounds in rubber-modified graft copolymers prepared by emulsion polymerization. The resin composition which was excellent in oil property and paintability was developed.

The present invention provides a resin composition excellent in brake oil resistance and paintability.

However, technical problems to be achieved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other technical problems will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

In order to achieve the above object, according to one embodiment of the present invention, rubber modified vinyl graft copolymer 20 to 40 graft polymerized vinyl cyanide compound and aromatic vinyl compound in a rubbery polymer having an average particle diameter of 0.2 to 0.4㎛ Parts by weight; And 80 to 60 parts by weight of a vinyl copolymer, wherein the vinyl copolymer contains 25 to 35 weight percent of a vinyl cyanide compound and has a weight average molecular weight of 70,000 to 100,000 in a first vinyl copolymer of 30 to 55 weight. %, And 45 to 70% by weight of a second vinyl-based copolymer containing 35 to 45% by weight of a vinyl cyanide compound and having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 to 130,000.

Other specific details of embodiments of the present invention are included in the following detailed description.

The resin composition of the present invention is excellent in brake oil resistance and paintability, and can be widely used in various applications.

In the above range, there is an advantage that can improve the processability and brake oil resistance at the same time is preferable.

When the content of the first vinyl copolymer is less than 30% by weight, it is not preferable because the melt viscosity is lowered, difficult to process, and when the content of the first vinyl copolymer exceeds 55% by weight, the brake oil resistance is significantly lowered, which is not preferable. In addition, when the content of the second vinyl copolymer is 45 to 70% by weight, the brake oil resistance is improved, which is preferable.

Moreover, when the weight average molecular weight of the said 1st vinyl type copolymer is the said range, it is excellent in paintability and preferable, and when the weight average molecular weight of the said 2nd vinyl type copolymer is the said range, it is preferable because it is excellent in brake oil resistance. .

(2) Evaluation of paintability: A 50 × 200 × 2 (mm) material specimen injected through a pin gate was spray-coated at a pressure of 3 to 5 kgf / cm ² using Aekyung P & C two-component urethane paint. The undercoat was sprayed with silver plated PBC # 2000 AK-2300 with plate-shaped aluminum flakes and dried at 60 ° C. for at least 5 minutes, then sprayed AKU CLEAR #A over top and dried at 60-70 ° C. for at least 40 minutes. For the objective evaluation of paintability, the following quantifiable items were included.

판정) Visual judgment

The coated specimens were visually evaluated and the paintability was graded as x, Δ, and ○. X denotes a case in which the erosion of the coating is severe and cannot be used, and Δ denotes a case in which the erosion of the coating is partially visible, and ○ denotes a preferred case in which no erosion of the coating is observed.

Ii) optical microscope

An optical microscope was used to observe the surface of the coated specimen at a × 500 magnification.

Iii) glossiness measurement

Glossiness was measured by ASTM D523 measurement. Since the incident light is scattered and reflected depending on the state of the surface, it is possible to know the surface smoothness of the measured specimen. The specimen is measured after treatment with a diluent (PBC # 2000 MP100: methylethylketone, toluene, cyclohexane, etc.) that has a decisive effect on paintability without performing top and bottom coating. It was. After the treatment to the top and bottom, since the reflection angle can be greatly measured by the top coat in the case of measurement, the discriminating power may be lowered.

The measured value is small when the surface of the injection molded specimen by the diluent is eroded irregularly, and large when it is evenly eroded.

Iii) optical profiler NT2000 (Veeco)

× 6 magnification surface roughness was measured using an optical surface measurer. As with the glossiness measurement, the smoothness of the surface can be determined, and among the measured values, the Rt (㎛) value can be used to evaluate how evenly the physical specimen was eroded by the diluent at the vertical distance between the highest point and the lowest point at the measurement site. have.

(3) Evaluation of brake oil resistance: Strain of 1% is applied to a 60 × 30 × 2mm material specimen placed at a temperature of 23 ± 2 ℃ and a humidity of 50 ± 5% for more than 48 hours using a jig, and the center of the specimen is In order to prevent the brake oil from flowing, 10 × 10 mm Kimwips was placed and 0.05 ml of brake oil was added dropwise to measure the crack occurrence time. As the brake oil, the average value of the evaluation results for five specimens was adopted using the DOT 4 grade, which is the most commonly used motorcycle brake oil. If it is more than 420 seconds, the molded product can be regarded as satisfying the requirements of a normal motorcycle manufacturer.
