For example, ii) polyethylene terephthalate resin may include recycled mineral water bottle resin. The bottled water bottle is not limited to this, but is a resin containing polyethylene terephthalate, and may be polyethylene terephthalate manufactured by condensation polymerization of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol.

The bottled water bottle recycling resin may be obtained by extruding waste bottled water bottles and molding them into pellets.

For example, the bottled water bottle recycled resin can be obtained by flaking PET bottles according to the process flow diagram of FIG. 1, which will be described later.

Figure 1 below is a process flow chart showing the process of producing recycled polyethylene terephthalate resin by extruding waste water bottles used in examples.

According to Figure 1 below, a sorting process is performed to classify waste water bottles into colored and colorless and transparent. The selection may be performed visually, where the color may be predominantly green.

Selected waste water bottles are pulverized using a cutter. It is desirable to wash approximately 200 kg prior to the grinding process to perform the drying and flake process.

The pulverized size may be finely divided, for example, within the range of 3 to 5 mm, specifically within the range of 3.5 to 5 mm. In this case, the efficiency of the subsequent drying process can be increased by increasing the surface area of the pulverized product, and the mixing efficiency with the thickener can also be improved.

The pulverized material is secondarily dried and then processed into flakes.

The secondary drying is a process of removing moisture from the pulverized product and mixing a thickener, and may be performed by dehumidifying after preliminary drying, if necessary.

The pre-drying is a process of heating the pulverized material within the range of 120 to 140° C. so that the moisture content is about 1000 ppm, and a thickener is added simultaneously or sequentially with the pre-drying.

Specifically, the pulverized material and the thickener are placed in a friction dryer controlled at 140°C and 50 rpm and allowed to remain for about 2 hours while continuously passing heated air at 120 to 140°C so that the pulverized material has a moisture content of 1000 ppm. .

In this description, ppm is based on weight unless otherwise defined.

The thickener is not limited as long as it is a compound that performs a thickening reaction without melting near the temperature conditions described above (e.g., 140° C.) and the dryer temperature conditions (e.g., 165° C.) described later. For example, carbodi A mead-based thickener can be used.

Examples of the carbodiimide-based thickener include carbodiimide, polycarbodiimide, etc., and the thickener is added by appropriately adjusting the mixing ratio with the ground product according to the intrinsic viscosity suitable for the target product. For a total of 100% by weight of the mixture of water and thickener, for example, 0.75% by weight or less, or 0.25 to 0.75% by weight, may be added.

The dehumidification treatment is a process of obtaining additional dried material by dehumidifying the water content to less than 50 ppm in order to prevent hydrolysis of the resin in the (preliminary) dried material described above.

For example, the dehumidification treatment may be performed by injecting the additionally dried material into a dryer hopper in the form of hot air and allowing it to remain for about 5 hours at a temperature of 165°C and a dew point of -60 to -40°C so that the moisture content is less than 50 rpm.

The flake processing uses an optical flake sorter to flake to approximately 5mm.

It can then be extruded at an extrusion temperature of 200 to 270°C and formed into fillets.

Specifically, in the extrusion process, a thickener is added to the flakes and the molten product melted at the melting temperature of the thickener can be formed into pellets.

The thickener is a compound with a lower melting temperature than the thickener added to the pre-drying product described above. It melts around the drying temperature of 140°C and the secondary drying temperature of 165°C, so when added together with the thickener, it melts and is subjected to pre-drying and dehumidification treatment. cannot be performed, so it must be input separately.

By appropriately controlling the amount of the thickener used, it is possible to provide a recycled polyethylene terephthalate resin having the intrinsic viscosity required for the target product. For example, it may be in the range of 0.1 to 0.75% by weight based on the total weight of the above-described melt.

The thickener may be an oxazoline-based thickener, for example, oxazoline, 1,3-phenylene bisoxazoline, etc.

The extrusion process may be performed, for example, by adding the flakes and thickener to an extruder and melting and extruding them at a melt temperature of 275 to 280° C. and a maximum melt pressure of about 110 bar.

The obtained melt extrudate may be passed through a 20 micron SUS (Steel Use Stainless) filter at a vacuum level of 10 mbar, for example, to remove foreign substances, and then cooled and cut. The above vacuum degree and SUS filter

The cooling and cutting can be performed using commonly used equipment.

For example, the molten extrudate discharged from the SUS filter using a pelletizer can be molded into a sphere with a diameter of 2.8 mm using circulating water at 90°C under the conditions of a die plate temperature of 320°C and a blade rotation speed of 3200 rpm. .

If the obtained molded product retains residual heat of 140°C or higher, the surface of the molded product can be recrystallized. For example, surface recrystallization can occur while passing through an in-line crystallizer equipped with a vibrating conveyor for about 15 minutes. .

The surface crystallization can prevent raw materials from sticking together and clumping together.

The surface recrystallized molding result can be processed into recycled polyethylene terephthalate resin by compounding it with talc, coupling agent, glass fiber, etc., if necessary.

The recycled polyethylene terephthalate resin consists of all components constituting the composition (i) polybutylene terephthalate resin, ii) polyethylene terephthalate resin, iii) (meth)acrylate compound-conjugated diene compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer, Based on a total of 100% by weight of iv) carboxy reactive epoxy resin, v) glass fiber, and vi) additives described later), it may be 8 to 17% by weight, preferably 9 to 17% by weight, and more preferably 9 to 16% by weight. . By adjusting the content of the recycled PET resin within the above-mentioned range, the mechanical properties of the polyester-based composition can be improved and a thermoplastic resin composition with excellent balance with injection properties can be secured.

That is, the thermoplastic resin composition according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a specific weight % of polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, (meth)acrylate compound-conjugated diene compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer, and carboxy reactive epoxy. By including a hydrolytic stabilizer mixed with a resin and glass fiber containing an excessive amount of SiO2, automobile interior parts manufactured from the composition have improved heat resistance and impact resistance, satisfying the balance of physical properties such as mechanical properties and fluidity, and providing excellent performance. It has the effect of providing product reliability and appearance quality, and in particular, it has the advantage of sufficiently improving physical properties even when using recycled polyethylene terephthalate resin.
