Description

Non-halogen flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition, a method of manufacturing the same and a polycarbonate sheet produced using the composition TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, since it does not contain a halogen compound such as bromine or chlorine, it is environmentally friendly and non-halogen flame-retardant poly that exhibits excellent physical properties and effective flame retardancy even when manufactured in a thin sheet. The present invention relates to a carbonate resin composition, a method for producing the same, and a polycarbonate sheet manufactured using the composition.

Polycarbonate resins have excellent mechanical and heat resistance properties, and have been widely used industrially as raw materials in the automotive field, office automation (OA) device field, electrical / electronic field, etc., but have a disadvantage of poor flame retardancy. Therefore, a flame retardant polycarbonate resin is prepared by adding a flame retardant additive for use in applications requiring flame retardancy. In particular, in recent years, the demand for flame-retardant plastic made of non-halogen flame-retardant in the electrical / electronics, construction field, etc. is increasing.

Past studies have shown that flame retardant polycarbonate resins are made from a combination of potassium diphenyl sulfone sulfonate, perfluoro alkane sulfonate, halogen flame retardant, etc., but the flame retardancy is poorly expressed in thin specimens (or sheets). Halogen flame retardants containing halogen compounds, such as bromine and chlorine, are known to cause problems such as environmental pollution, and the current trend is to limit their use.

According to US Patent No. 4,028,297, alkali metal salts were used to improve the flame retardancy of polycarbonate (PC) resins, while US Patent No. 4,110,299 was made of potassium diphenyl sulfone sulfonate, which was transparent flame retardant polycarbonate (PC). Was prepared. In addition, U.S. Patent Nos. 4,303,575 and 4,552,911 improve the flame retardancy by combining a perfluoroalkane sulfonate / potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate and a halogen flame retardant such as bromine / chlorine, but halogen such as bromine or chlorine. Without the use of flame retardants, the effect of improving flame retardancy is not so great.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is environmentally friendly because it does not contain a halogen compound such as bromine or chlorine, and non-halogen flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition, a method for producing the same, and the composition, which are excellent in physical properties and effective flame retardancy even when made of a thin sheet To provide a polycarbonate sheet produced using.

The present invention is a non-halogen flame-retardant polycarbonate comprising 97.8 to 99.9 wt% of polycarbonate resin, 0.04 to 0.5 wt% of potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate, 0.05 to 0.7 wt% of fluorinated polyolefin, and 0.01 to 1.0 wt% of carbon nanotubes. It provides a resin composition.

The fluorinated polyolefin may be polytetrafluoroethylene copolymerized with a fluorine resin.

The present invention also comprises (a) 97.8 to 99.9 wt% of polycarbonate resin, 0.04 to 0.5 wt% of potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate, 0.05 to 0.7 wt% of fluorinated polyolefin, and 0.01 to 1.0 wt% of carbon nanotube.

The present invention also provides a polycarbonate sheet formed by molding the non-halogen flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition.

The non-halogen flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition according to the present invention is prepared by blending polycarbonate with potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate, polytetrafluoroethylene and carbon nanotubes at an appropriate ratio, thereby improving flame retardancy in a thin injection molding or sheet. .

In addition, since the polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention does not include a halogen flame retardant such as bromine or chlorine, which causes problems such as environmental pollution and is currently limited in its use, it is environmentally friendly without causing problems such as environmental pollution. have.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are provided to those skilled in the art to fully understand the present invention, and may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention is limited to the embodiments described below. It doesn't happen. Like numbers refer to like elements in the figures.

The present inventors have studied and studied a polycarbonate resin composition having a flame retardant property superior to the flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition prepared according to the prior art, in the production of non-halogen flame-retardant polycarbonate resin, potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate, fluorinated It has been found that adding carbon nanotubes to the polyolefin combination further enhances flame retardancy even in thin specimens.

The present invention provides a non-halogen flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition having excellent flame retardancy even in very thin specimens by adding carbon nanotubes to the combination of potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate and fluorinated polyolefin to further increase flame retardancy.

The polycarbonate component used in the present invention may be of any grade, and the production method of the polycarbonate resin is not particularly limited, and may be by conventional methods such as phosgene method (interface polymerization method) or melting method (ester exchange method). have. Moreover, polycarbonate resin manufactured by the melting method and manufactured by adjusting the amount of OH groups of an end group may be sufficient.

Potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate (KPFBS) used in the present invention is a flame retardant for polycarbonate produced from many flame retardant manufacturers, and contains 0.04 to 0.5% by weight based on the total weight of the polycarbonate resin composition. do. In other ranges, it is difficult to obtain desired flame retardancy (UL-94 V-0 level, 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm) and physical properties, and when it exceeds 0.5% by weight, molding processability is remarkably inferior.

Fluorinated polyolefin (fluoro polyolefin) used in the present invention used polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the flame retardancy and dripability is improved when the polytetrafluoroethylene is properly used with potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate. Polytetrafluoroethylene is included in the non-halogen flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition 0.05 to 0.7% by weight based on the total weight. If the amount is less than 0.05% by weight, there is little improvement in dripability, and if the content is more than 0.7% by weight, the workability during extrusion in the extruder is significantly reduced.

Since the combination of polycarbonate resin, potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate, and fluorinated polyolefin has a limit of flame retardancy, in the present invention, carbon nanotubes (CNT) are used to further increase the flame retardancy. Carbon nanotubes were produced by S.Ijima of Nuku Corporation's Thukuba Research Institute in 1991 using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) to generate carbon generated by an arc between two carbon electrodes. In the process of observing the by-products, carbon nanotubes were found, which were multi-walled. Since 1993, single-walled carbon nanotubes with diameters of only 1 to 2 nm were discovered by the S.Ijima group and IBM's Almaden research institute. . In general, carbon nanotubes can be thought of as a rounded shape of a hexagonal network of carbon atoms. At this time, the end has a zigzag shape and an armrest chair shape according to the angle. In addition, the rounded shape takes the form of a single wall, which is a single wall structure, and a multi-wall structure having a plurality of walls. In addition, a single wall or a multi-walled structure may be used. Walls are bundled (Nano tube bundles), and metals (metal-atom-filled nano tubes) inside the tubes. When the carbon nanotubes are properly dispersed and added to the polycarbonate resin composition, flame retardancy is increased, particularly for thin specimens, and the drip property is improved due to the increase in physical properties. In addition, carbon nanotube (CNT) is a polycarbonate resin composition and mechanical properties such as flexural modulus (Fluxural Modulus (FM), flexural strength (FS), tensile strength (TS) and heat deformation temperature (Heat) It improves heat resistance characteristics such as Distortion Temperature (HDT).

Carbon nanotubes that can be used in the present invention may include all of the above-described forms, and add 0.01 to 1.0% by weight relative to the total weight of the polycarbonate resin composition. If it is less than 0.01% by weight, there is little improvement in flame retardancy and drip resistance, and when it exceeds 1.0% by weight, processing is difficult and no further flame retardancy is increased. In addition, since the dispersibility of carbon nanotubes during compounding has a great influence on the flame retardancy, in the present invention, dispersibility is achieved by using a screw of a special structure proposed in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0071047 filed by the present applicant. Maximize.

Hereinafter, a method for preparing a polycarbonate resin composition using a continuous twin screw exturder shown in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0071047 used in the preparation of the polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention It demonstrates more concretely. The continuous twin screw extruder has a screw design designed to provide uniform melting and mixing of the compounds and to obtain good dispersibility. The continuous twin screw extruder is designed to work with complex shear (high shear in the melting and compression zones and low shear in the dispersion zone).

Polycarbonate resin, fluorinated polyolefin, potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate and carbon nanotubes were added to the main feeder 110 of the continuous twin screw extruder according to the desired composition.

The polycarbonate resin and other raw materials were mixed, melted and compressed in the melting and compression zone Z1 of the continuous twin screw extruder. The raw material including the polycarbonate introduced through the main feeder 110 starts to melt as the temperature gradually increases. When the polycarbonate resin is introduced through the main feeder 110, the polycarbonate resin may be melted and there may be two phases of the solid resin and the molten liquid resin. When the polycarbonate resin passes through the melting and compression zone Z1, the polycarbonate resin is completely melted. The temperature of the melting and compressing region was maintained at 240 to 290 ° C depending on the section by the heating means. In this case, the two shafts 120 driven by the motor rotate in a clockwise direction, and the interaxial distance between the two shafts is about 5 cm. The shaft 120 of the melting and compressing zone Z1 is provided in the form of a spiral screw to feed into the dispersion zone Z2 while mixing and compressing the raw material injected through the main feeder 110. The helix angle of the helical screw is about 30 °, the spacing between the thread of the helical screw and the cylinder 130 is about 1/60 of the shaft diameter, and the pitch of the helical screw is about 5 cm. The ratio of the length of the helical screw to the diameter of the helical screw in the melting and compression zone Z1 is on the order of 30.

By rotating the shafts 120 of the continuous twin screw extruder clockwise, the melt of the raw material melted and compressed in the cylinder 130 has a lower compression and shear in the dispersion zone Z2 than in the melting and compression zone Z1. Stress is to be applied. Dispersion zone Z2 is sufficiently kneaded while maintaining the melt passed through melting and compression zone Z1 or kneading zone Z4 at a constant temperature and pressure. It is the area | region which disperse | distributes and flows into discharge area Z3. In this dispersion region Z2, the fluorinated polyolefin, potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate and carbon nanotubes are uniformly dispersed in the polycarbonate resin. At this time, the dispersion zone (Z2) of the continuous twin screw extruder was set to a temperature of 220 ~ 270 ℃ according to the section. The dispersing zone Z2 is formed of a compression part C1 tapered upwards, a flat, shear part C2 formed adjacent to the compression tapered upwards, and a lower portion. And a shaft 120 including a release portion C3 tapered in the direction. The taper angle a1 of the upwardly tapered compression section is about 20 °. The taper angle a2 of the downwardly tapered compression part is about -20 °. The distance between the cylinder 130 and the shaft 120 is about 1/20 to 1/60 of the shaft diameter, and the distance between the shaft 130 and the cylinder 130 that forms the straight shear is between 1/40 and about the diameter of the shaft. It's about 1 / 60th. The ratio of the length of the shaft 120 to the diameter of the shaft 120 in the dispersion region Z2 is about 40.

In the discharge zone Z3, the composition was discharged to the discharge die 160 in a continuous twin screw extruder while heating to a temperature of 250 to 300 ° C. which is higher than the temperature in the dispersion zone Z2. The discharge zone Z3 is in the form of a spiral screw to supply the discharge die 160 while compressing the composition dispersed in the dispersion zone Z2, and a higher shear stress is applied than in the dispersion zone Z2. Will be. The composition dispersed in the dispersion zone Z2 is supplied to the discharge die 160 while being compressed by the shaft 120 in the form of a spiral screw. The helix angle of the helical screw is about -30 °, the spacing between the thread of the helical screw and the cylinder 130 is about 1/60 of the shaft diameter, and the pitch of the helical screw is about 5 cm. The ratio of the length of the spiral screw to the diameter of the spiral screw in the discharge region Z3 is about 30 degrees. The composition discharged from the discharge die 160 was cooled and cut to obtain a polycarbonate resin composition in pellet form.

Physical properties presented in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were measured by the following method.

-Flame retardant: Flame retardancy was measured by UL-94 and UL 746A measurement method. UL, short for Underwriters Laborotories, is an independent, not-for-profit private safety agency in the United States that conducts tests on materials, instruments, structures, and methods that affect lives or property. One of the grades indicating the degree of flame retardancy evaluated here is UL-94, which is divided into UL94HB and UL94V. UL95V is classified into V-2, V-1, V-0 and the like according to the degree of flame retardancy. Briefly introducing the test method of UL94V, the specimens of 12.7mm width and 125mm length are installed vertically, lit with a 2cm burner flame for 10 seconds, and when the burner is removed, Measure The test shall be carried out twice for each specimen and five sets of specimens shall be subjected to the same test ten times, and the grade shall be determined according to the combined combustion time and whether or not the fire that melts during combustion ignites the underlying cotton. A description of the grades is given in Table 1 below.

UL 746A stands for Comprehensive Tracking Index (CTI). Tracking is the formation of carbonized marks between electrodes that potentially have a difference in the surface of the insulating material. The combined effect of electrical stress and electrocontamination on the material surface creates a progressive conduction path. Tracking resistance is the ability of a material to resist this path from occurring when current flows where there is a contaminated solution. Crystalline polymers exhibit the best performance because of their excellent resistance to chemical environments. CTI (Comparative Tracking Index), or CTI, was tested according to ASTM D3638. After CTI dropped 50 drops of 0.1% ammonium chloride electrolyte, The maximum voltage the specimen will withstand without tracking is measured and labeled on the UL-Card. Grade 0 is the best and grade 5 is the lowest. CTI is a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) value representing different thickness values and descriptions of the grades are given in Table 2 below.

Rating Tracking Index (TI, Volts) 0 600 <TI One 400 <TI <600 2 250 <TI <400 3 175 <TI <250 4 100 <TI <175 5 0 <TI <100

Tensile strength, elongation and tensile modulus were measured by ASTM D882.

All the experiments were prepared in the form of chips by precisely weighing the additives and mixing them well by extruding with the continuous twin screw extruder presented in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0071047 filed by the applicant. In continuous twin screw extruders, the screw design is properly combined so that polycarbonate (PC) and other additives are not pressured. Then, a chip-shaped sample was dried at 120 degrees for 4 hours or more and extruded into a sheet at a temperature of 240 to 290 degrees in a small single screw extruder manufactured by Brabender, to evaluate physical properties and flame retardancy.
