Description

AN AROMATIC POLYAMIDE COMPOSITIONS FOR MOLDING
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a polyamide composition for molding that contains fibrous wollastonite, and, in greater detail, it relates to a polyamide composition for molding that has superior rigidity, strength, toughness, dimensional stability, resistance to chemicals, external surface appearance and sliding characteristics in high-humidity, high-temperature environments, which has a low coefficient of linear expansion and which is of low warpage in spite of the fact that there is one type of fibrous filling material. Furthermore, it relates to a polyamide composition of which excellent properties are maintained in recycled objects produced using spur or runner emerged from injecting the polyamide composition, but which make its color control easier.
Background of the Invention
It is well known that reinforcing materials and/or filling materials are compounded with thermoplastic polymers for molding in accordance with the properties that are required by the uses of molded products.
In general, when inorganic filling materials of which glass fibers, carbon fibers, silica, clay, talc and mica are representative are used singly or in combination, improvement can be obtained in some of the required properties of molded materials such as rigidity, toughness, surface external appearance, strength, low warpage, dimensional stability and sliding characteristics and in the coefficient of linear expansion of the resin composition. On the other hand, there is a tendency for deleterious effects to be exerted on other properties. Of course, this tendency becomes marked as the content of inorganic filling material in the resin composition for molding that is finally obtained is increased. At the same time, there is also the problem that the cost of the resin composition is increased. On the other hand, in recent years, semi-aromatic polyamides that contain aromatic monomer components in a portion of their structural elements have come to be widely used because of their superior high temperature rigidity, heat resistance, resistance to chemicals and water- absorbing capacity. Attempts have also been made to apply these same polyamides and aliphatic polyamides of which nylon 6 and 66 are representative to various types of molded products as thermoplastic polymers for molding of superior mechanical strength, rigidity and heat resistance. In addition, compositions in which inorganic filling materials are compounded for the purpose of further improving rigidity and toughness are well known.
However, attempts to improve toughness and impact resistance without impairing the superior properties of the semi-aromatic polyamides by compounding inorganic filling materials with semi-aromatic polyamides have not been made to any great extent.
Under these circumstances, as an example of compounding various inorganic filling materials with semi-aromatic polyamides, there is the composition described, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Early Disclosure No. 3-210359 [1991]. A study was made of improving heat resistance due to increase of crystallinity and improving surface external appearance by compounding wollastonite or other various fillers having acicular particles which is present in natural metamorphic rock comprised essentially of calcium metasihcate with the semi-aromatic polyamide compositions as disclosed in that application. Molded objects may be colored for various uses, and polyamide composition having less effects of containing such colorant on mechanical properties and toughness is desired as injection molding compositions and spur and runner emerged from injection molding for production of molded objects are desired to be recycled to respond a social need for contribution to reduction of industrial waste in the recent years.
However, nothing has been disclosed concerning the length, diameter and aspect ratio of the wollastonite and aromatic polyamide compositions of superior rigidity, strength, toughness, dimensional stability, resistance to chemicals, external surface appearance sliding characteristics and warping characteristics in high- humidity, high-temperature environments and having low coefficients of linear expansion have not been provided.
It is an object of this invention is to provide a polyamide composition for molding of superior rigidity, strength, toughness, dimensional stability, resistance to chemicals, external surface appearance and sliding characteristics in high-humidity, high-temperature environments, of which the resin composition has a low coefficient of linear expansion and which is of low warpage in spite of the fact that there is one type of fibrous filling material.
Another object of this invention is to provide a polyamide composition of which excellent properties are maintained in recycled objects produced using spur or runner emerged from injecting the polyamide composition and molded objects even if they are colored by injecting colored molding composition.
We have found that the abovementioned objects are achieved by a polyamide composition containing wollastonite having a specified diameter, length and aspect ratio. The molding polyamide composition according to the present invention shows superior rigidity, strength, toughness, dimensional stability, resistance to chemicals, external surface appearance and sliding characteristics in high-humidity, high- temperature environments, having a low coefficient of linear expansion and of low warpage. Furthermore, the molding polyamide composition according to the present invention provides advantages that excellent properties of molding polyamide composition according to the invention are maintained in recycled objects produced using spur or runner emerged from injecting the polyamide composition and molded obj cts even if they are colored by colorant being contained in the molding polyamide composition.

When the melting point is lower than 280°C, heat resistance is not sufficient which is not desirable. When it is higher than 350°C, decomposition gases of the composition are generated. Preferably, it should be 280°C to 350°C. More preferably, it should be 295°C to 330°C.
The dicarboxylic acid component (b) may be a mixture of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid, or when a mixture of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and adipic acid is used, the quantify of terephthalic acid in the dicarboxylic acid component may be greater than 50 mol %.
B. Wollastonite
The wollastonite that is used in this invention is a white mineral that consists essentially of calcium metasilicate, which is commonly used as an inorganic filler material of thermoplastic polymers for molding.
Wollastonite is fibrous, its number average length should be in the range of 5 to 180 μm, and, preferably, of 20 to 100 μm, its number average diameter should be in the range of 0.1 to 15.0 μm, and, preferably, of 2.0 to 7.0 μm and its average aspect (length and breadth) ratio should be greater than 3 : 1, preferably in the range of 3 : 1 to 50 : 1, and, more preferably, of 5 : 1 to 30 : 1. When the number average length, the number average diameter and the average aspect ratio of the wollastonite are not within the specified range of this invention, an aromatic polyamide composition for molding of superior rigidity, strength, toughness, dimensional stability, resistance to chemicals surface external appearance and sliding characteristics in high-temperature, high-humidity environments, having a low coefficient of linear expansion and of low warpage cannot be realized.
Wollastonite of this kind is compounded in an amount of 5 to 170 parts by weight, and, preferably, of 10 to 100 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the resin component in the composition of this invention.
When glass fibers, which are well known as fibrous inorganic filler materials, are compounded in polyamides in high content, warping of the molded product becomes a problem. However, in this invention, molded products of low warpage can be provided in spite of the fact that a fibrous filling material is used in a high content. It is preferred that the fibrous wollastonite used in this invention be treated with a titanate, silanc, zirconate coupling agent or other coupling agents or other surface treatments. It is also preferable that the wollastonite fibers are treated with silane surface treatments by using aminosilane (γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) or epoxysilane (γ-glycidxypropylmethoxysilane). The amount of the abovementioned surface treatment agents is about 0.2 2.0 wt% per hundred parts by weight of the wollastonite, more preferably 0.5 - 1.0 wt%. In a preferred treatment process, the treatment agents are added to the wollastonite fibers followed by heating and drying or untreated wollastonite fibers are mixed with a blend of polyamide resins and the treatment agents with the predetermined amounts by integral blending in preparation of the polyamide composition according to the present invention.
The polyamide composition of this invention can also contain a thermal stabilizer. The thermal stabilizer may be a compound containing copper in which the copper content is 10 to 1000 ppm. A copper halide such as copper iodide or copper bromide is particularly desirable. An alkyl halogen compound is ordinarily added as an auxiliary thermal stabilizer.
Further, a phenolic antioxidant may also be added to the polyamide composition of this invention and an antioxidant and a thermal stabilizer may be used in combination.
