Abstract
Description
메틸 메타크릴레이트(이하 "MMA"라 약칭한다)를 주성분으로 제조되는 아크릴 수지(이하 "PMMA"라 약칭한다)는 우수한 광학적 특성, 내후성, 전기적, 열적 특성을 보임으로써 자동차 후미등, 광고판, 수족관 등 여러 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다.Methyl methacrylate (hereinafter abbreviated as "MMA") is an acrylic resin (hereinafter abbreviated as "PMMA") as its main component, which exhibits excellent optical, weather resistance, electrical and thermal properties, such as automobile taillights, billboards, aquariums, etc. It is applied to many different fields.
그러나 아크릴 수지의 압출 및 사출 성형 가공시 열분해에 기인한 가스 발생으로 실버 및 기포와 같은 성형 불량의 문제가 발생하며 가스의 탄화 및 수지의 열변색에 기인한 Yellowness 증가는 아크릴 수지의 투과율 저하에 직접적인 영향을 미치고 있다.However, gas generation due to pyrolysis during extrusion and injection molding processing of acrylic resins causes problems of molding defects such as silver and bubbles.Increasing yellowness due to carbonization of gas and thermal discoloration of resins is directly related to lowering transmittance of acrylic resins. It is affecting.
따라서 근본적인 열 안정성 개선을 통한 아크릴 수지의 열변색을 최소화하려는 노력이 여러가지 방법으로 제안되어 왔다. 특히 인(Phosphorus)계 열안정제나 페놀계 열안정제를 첨가하는 방법(JP 256551, JP 116331, JP 304045) 등을 들 수 있다. 하지만 페놀계 열안정제의 경우 발색단의 생성으로 투과율 저하의 원인이 되기도 한다.Therefore, efforts to minimize thermal discoloration of acrylic resin through fundamental thermal stability improvement have been proposed in various ways. In particular, a method of adding a phosphorus (Phosphorus) heat stabilizer or a phenolic heat stabilizer (JP 256551, JP 116331, JP 304045) and the like can be mentioned. However, in the case of phenolic heat stabilizers, the generation of chromophores may cause a decrease in transmittance.
최종 아크릴 제품의 투과율에 영향을 미치지 않으면서도 아크릴 수지의 열 안정성을 개선하는 방법으로 Di-t-dodecyl disulfide와 같은 황계 열안정제의 제안도 있다(US 3978022).Sulfur-based stabilizers such as Di- t- dodecyl disulfide have also been proposed as a way to improve the thermal stability of acrylic resins without affecting the permeability of the final acrylic product (US 3978022).
또한 현탁 중합공정에서 Water Phase의 유화중합체 생성을 억제시켜 최종 PMMA 제품의 생산성을 높이는 동시에 잔류 유화중합체에 의한 PMMA의 열변색을 최소화하는 방법도 있다(US 5142008). 이 경우 Water Phase에 Polyvalent Phosphonic acid의 알카리 염이나 Graham's Salt를 첨가하여 현탁 중합 도중 유화중합체의 생성을 억제하는 방법을 이용한다.In addition, there is a method of increasing the productivity of the final PMMA product by minimizing the generation of the emulsion polymer in the water phase in the suspension polymerization process and minimizing the thermal discoloration of the PMMA by the residual emulsion polymer (US 5142008). In this case, alkali salts or Graham's salts of polyvalent phosphonic acid are added to the water phase to suppress the formation of emulsion polymers during suspension polymerization.
그러나 본 발명자는 아크릴 수지의 근본적 열 안정성 및 투과율을 개선하기 위해 보다 깊이 있는 연구를 수행한 결과, PMMA의 Co-monomer로 사용되는 MA(Methyl Acrylate) 또는 EA(Ethyl Acrylate)의 함량에 따라 최종 제품의 열변색 및 투과율이 비례하는 상관성을 가지며 또한 잔류 MA 또는 잔류 EA 함량이 큰 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었다.However, the present inventors conducted a more in-depth study to improve the fundamental thermal stability and transmittance of acrylic resin, and according to the content of MA (Methyl Acrylate) or EA (Ethyl Acrylate) used as co-monomer of PMMA, The thermal discoloration and the transmittance of have a proportional correlation, and it was confirmed that the residual MA or the residual EA content had a great influence.
이제 본 발명에서는 기존의 Acrylate 계열의 Co-monomer 대신 Methacrylate 계열의 Co-monomer를 적용하고 PMMA의 현탁중합 공정에 다관능 고온 개시제를 병용함으로써 PMMA의 Yellowness를 크게 개선함과 동시에 잔류 모너머의 함량 줄임과 열 안정성 개선을 통해 최종 제품의 투과율 및 Yellow Index를 개선하고자 한다.Now, in the present invention, by applying Methacrylate-based co-monomer instead of the conventional Acrylate-based co-monomer and using polyfunctional high-temperature initiator in the suspension polymerization process of PMMA, the yellowness of PMMA is greatly improved and the content of residual monomer is reduced. By improving the superheat stability, the permeability and yellow index of the final product will be improved.
따라서 본 발명에서는 PMMA의 현탁 중합공정에 Co-monomer로 Tg가 충분히 낮은 Methacrylate 계열의 EHMA(2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate)를 사용하였으며 또한 잔류 모너머의 함량을 줄이기 위해 10시간 반감기 온도가 90℃ 이상인 다관능 고온 개시제를 병용하여 투과율이 크게 개선되는 새로운 형태의 아크릴 수지를 제조하였다.Therefore, in the present invention, Methacrylate-based EHMA (2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate) having a low Tg as a co-monomer was used in the suspension polymerization process of PMMA. The high temperature initiator was used in combination to produce a new type of acrylic resin in which the transmittance was greatly improved.
본 발명에 사용되는 다관능 고온 개시제로는 P-3M [1,1-Bis(t-butylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexane], Perbutyl I [t-butylperoxy isopropyl monocarbonate], Pertetra A [2,2-Bis(4,4-di-t-butylperoxy cyclohexyl)propane] 등이 사용될 수 있다.The polyfunctional high temperature initiator used in the present invention includes P-3M [1,1-Bis ( t -butylperoxy) -3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexane], Perbutyl I [t-butylperoxy isopropyl monocarbonate], Pertetra A [2 , 2-Bis (4,4-di- t- butylperoxy cyclohexyl) propane] may be used.
