• This pellet was injection-molded with a mold temperature of 30 ° C and a cooling time of 45 seconds using an injection molding machine with a cylinder temperature of 200 ° C, and a molded product (flat test piece (70 mm ⁇ 40 mm ⁇ 3 mm), square Columnar specimens (125 mm ⁇ 12 mm ⁇ 6 mm)] were obtained.
• Example 12 Polylactic acid-polypropylene alloy resin molding
• the melt ratio of the polylactic acid resin composition pellets obtained in Example 1, polypropylene and the compatibilizing agent are as shown in Table 4, and the rotational speed of the twin screw extruder is changed from 100 r / min to 500 r / min. Except for the change, the mixture was melt-kneaded in the same manner as in Example 1 to prepare pellets of the resin composition and then dried to make the moisture content 500 ppm or less.
• This pellet was injection-molded using an injection molding machine with a cylinder temperature of 200 ° C., with a mold temperature of 80 ° C. and a cooling time of 45 seconds, and a molded product (flat test piece (70 mm ⁇ 40 mm ⁇ 3 mm), square Columnar specimens (125 mm ⁇ 12 mm ⁇ 6 mm)] were obtained.
• Test Example 1 (Measurement of aldehydes) Put 3 plate test pieces (70mm x 40mm x 3mm) of resin composition into 10L sampling bag (cleaned Tedlar bag) made by GL Sciences, and replace the air in the bag with nitrogen three times, then use a gas meter Then, 3 L of nitrogen was introduced and sealed, and stored in a constant temperature bath at 65 ° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature (25 ° C.), the internal gas was passed through a sampling pump at a rate of 0.5 L / min, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) impregnated silica gel cartridge (Presep- C DNPH).
• DNPH 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine
• the cartridge containing the internal gas was removed, acetonitrile was injected at a rate of 1.5 mL / min, and the collected contents were eluted into a 5 mL volumetric flask to make up the volume.
• the eluate was subjected to high performance liquid chromatographic analysis (HPLC) under the following conditions, and a calibration curve prepared in advance from a 6 standard aldehyde-DNPH mixed standard solution manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. was applied to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.
• the amount of each aldehyde generated from the test piece was calculated ( ⁇ g / 80 cm 2 conversion). The lower the numerical value, the smaller the amount of aldehyde generated and the better.

• Test example 2 (flexural modulus) A prismatic test piece (125 mm x 12 mm x 6 mm) is bent according to JIS K7203 using a Tensilon (Orientec, Tensilon Universal Testing Machine RTC-1210A) with a crosshead speed set to 3 mm / min. A test was conducted to determine the flexural modulus. The lower the flexural modulus, the better the flexibility.
• Test example 3 heat resistance
• a prismatic test piece 125mm x 12mm x 6mm
• the temperature at which the heat deflection temperature measuring machine Toyo Seiki Seisakusho, B-32 is deflected by 0.25mm at a load of 1.80MPa, based on JIS K7191.
• the heat distortion temperature (° C) was measured. A higher heat distortion temperature indicates better heat resistance.
• Test example 4 (bleed resistance) A flat test piece (70 mm ⁇ 40 mm ⁇ 3 mm) of the resin composition was allowed to stand in a room at 25 ° C. and a relative humidity of 60% for 28 days, and the bleeding property was evaluated by the following three stages by visual and touch feeling. 3: No bleed is observed 2: Slight bleed is observed 1: Clearly bleed is observed
• the molded articles of the examples are less flexible than the molded articles of the comparative examples while maintaining the flexibility, and the generation of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde is further suppressed. It can be seen that the bleed resistance is also excellent. Therefore, it is suggested that the additive for polyester resin of the present invention is excellent in plasticization efficiency and suppresses generation of volatile compounds.
• the resin composition of the present invention can be suitably used for various industrial uses such as household goods, home appliance parts, and automobile parts.
