Definitions

• the present invention relates to an acrylic resin composition that includes a specific triazine-based UV absorber in an acrylic resin including at least 80 wt % of methyl methacrylate and having a glass transition temperature of at least 80° C., and a laminate of the acrylic resin composition.
• Molded articles made of an acrylic resin including methyl methacrylate as a main component particularly have excellent transparency among plastic materials. By making use of this characteristic, acrylic-resin molded articles are used for applications in which aesthetic appearance is deemed important and for protective sheets that cover various plastic materials.
• Weather resistance, scratch resistance, contamination resistance, and the ability to adjust surface luster are demanded of protective sheets; among these characteristics, importance is placed particularly on excellent weather resistance.
• Patent Literature 1 proposes a film as an insect-repellent protective film for lighting covers, shop windows, vending machine surface panels, and glazing, wherein the film includes an acrylic resin blended with, for example, an azomethine-based UV absorber, an indole-based UV absorber, a benzophenone-based UV absorber, a benzotriazole-based UV absorber, and/or a triazine-based UV absorber.
• Patent Literature 1 discloses that ultraviolet rays with wavelengths of 400 nm or below are blocked. Patent Literature 1, however, describes nothing about ultraviolet regions equal to or below 340 nm. Further, Patent Literature 1 employs an acrylic resin composition as a protective layer of a polycarbonate resin molded product, but the coloring prevention effect of the protective layer is unsatisfactory.
• Patent Literature 2 discloses a protective film made by laminating, on a rigid PVC plate, an acrylic film wherein a triazine-based UV absorber is blended to an acrylic resin at a proportion of from 0.1 to 5 wt % and from 0.17 to 2.28 g/m 2 .
• the coloring prevention effect of the protective layer is still not satisfactory.
• Patent Literature 3 discloses a laminate that includes: a UV-absorber-containing acrylic resin layer coated on a surface of a polycarbonate resin substrate; and a cured layer formed by coating the acrylic resin layer with a composition including a silicone-containing polymer UV absorber and polyorganosiloxane, and then curing the composition.
• a composition including a silicone-containing polymer UV absorber and polyorganosiloxane is still not satisfactory.
• Patent Literature 4 discloses a resin laminate that includes: a UV-absorber-containing acrylic resin layer coated on a surface of a polycarbonate resin substrate; and a cured layer formed by coating the acrylic resin layer with a resin-coating composition including, at specific proportions, a mixture of organotrialkoxysilanes respectively including specific alkyl groups, colloidal silica containing anhydrous silica and having a particle diameter of from 4 to 20 nm, an amine carboxylate and/or quaternary ammonium carboxylate, and a silicone-containing polymer UV absorber, and then curing the composition.
• a resin-coating composition including, at specific proportions, a mixture of organotrialkoxysilanes respectively including specific alkyl groups, colloidal silica containing anhydrous silica and having a particle diameter of from 4 to 20 nm, an amine carboxylate and/or quaternary ammonium carboxylate, and a silicone-containing polymer UV absorber,
• Patent Literature 5 discloses a decorative sheet formed by blending a UV absorber including 2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-[2-(2-ethylhexanoyloxy)ethoxy]phenol with respect to an acrylic resin including cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate as a monomer component.
• Examples of methods for forming such sheets include solution casting film formation methods and melt casting formation methods; the decorative sheet of Patent Literature 5 is formed by the solution casting film formation method.
• the solution casting film formation method is a manufacturing method of first dissolving acrylic resin in a solvent and then forming a film by removing the solvent. This method requires rinsing with water and drying, thus increasing manufacturing costs.
• the melt casting formation method is a method of heating and melting acrylic resin, casting the melt onto a support and cooling and solidifying the same, and then drawing or rolling the same as necessary.
• Patent Literature 1 JP 2000-169767A
• Patent Literature 2 JP 2000-327802A

• a laminate of the invention is a laminate in which a surface of a support material is covered by a thermoplastic resin layer having a thickness of from 30 to 300 ⁇ m, wherein the thermoplastic resin layer is formed by melting and mixing/kneading the aforementioned acrylic resin composition within a temperature range of from 200 to 260° C.
• the support material is a vinyl chloride resin or a polycarbonate resin.
• the invention can provide an acrylic resin composition that has excellent weather resistance and can be stably produced at high temperatures.
• the acrylic resin is a homopolymer of methyl methacrylate, or a copolymer including at least 80 wt % of methyl methacrylate.
• Examples of monomers that may be included together with methyl methacrylate in the copolymer include (meth)acrylates other than methyl methacrylate, and other monomer components. Note that, in the present invention, (meth)acrylate refers to methacrylate, acrylate, and mixtures thereof.
• Examples of (meth)acrylates other than methyl methacrylate include (meth)acrylates, ethyl (meth)acrylate, propyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, pentyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate.

• One type of the aforementioned component may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.
• a preferable blending amount of the monomer that can be included together with methyl methacrylate is from 0 to 20 wt %, preferably from 0 to 10 wt %, more preferably from 0 to 5 wt %, with respect to the entire acrylic resin.
• the blending amount of the monomer component exceeds 20 wt %, the heat resistance of the acrylic resin may become insufficient.
• the acrylic resin a homopolymer of methyl methacrylate or a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and an alkyl (meth)acrylate that includes a linear or branched alkyl group including 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
• the acrylic resin has a glass transition temperature of at least 80° C.

Then, the pellets were molten and mixed/kneaded with a T-die-equipped uniaxial extruder (product name OEX3024 from DDM Co., Ltd.) at an extrusion temperature of 240° C. and screw speed of 30 rpm, to obtain a 50- ⁇ m-thick acrylic resin sheet.
• the acrylic resin sheet was placed on the surface of a flat-plate-shaped molded article made of a vinyl chloride resin and being 80 mm long, 40 mm wide, and 2 mm thick, and was laminated by performing thermocompression at 140° C. with a press forming machine. The following evaluation was performed using the laminated test pieces.
• Each of the test pieces laminated onto the vinyl chloride resin-made flat-plate-shaped molded article was subjected to a weather resistance test at a temperature of 63° C. and humidity of 50% RH under the UV irradiation conditions of 295-780 nm and 75 mW/cm.
• the difference in color (AE) of the vinyl chloride resin-made test piece after 200 hours was measured.
• the color difference was measured by the reflection method using a multiple-light-source spectrophotometric colorimeter from Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd. The results are shown in Table 4 below.
• Laminated test pieces were prepared in the same manner as in Example 2-1, except that: the acrylic resin was changed from AC-1 to AC-2; each UV absorber was added according to the blending amounts described in Table 5; and the 80-mm-long, 40-mm-wide, 2-mm-thick vinyl chloride resin-made flat-plate-shaped molded article was changed to a 80-mm-long, 40-mm-wide, 2-mm-thick polycarbonate resin-made flat-plate-shaped molded article.
• test pieces laminated onto the polycarbonate resin-made flat-plate-shaped molded article were subjected to a weather resistance test at a temperature of 65° C. and humidity of 50% RH under the UV irradiation condition of 295-780 nm with a xenon lamp.
• the difference in color (AE) of the test piece after 1080 hours and after 2040 hours of UV irradiation was measured.
• the color difference was measured by the reflection method using a multiple-light-source spectrophotometric colorimeter from Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd. The results are shown in Table 5 below.
• an acrylic resin including at least 80 wt % of methyl methacrylate and having a glass transition temperature of at least 80° C. a molded article can be obtained, even when molten and mixed/kneaded at 250° C.
• the aforementioned acrylic resin compositions include from 1 to 5 parts by mass of a triazine-based UV absorber including 2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-[2-(2-ethylhexanoyloxy)ethoxy]phenol with respect to 100 parts by mass of the acrylic resin including at least 80 wt % of methyl methacrylate and having a glass transition temperature of at least 80° C. According to these Examples, it was verified that excellent weather resistance can be achieved and coloring can be suppressed.
