Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、物性の改良された難燃性ポリアミド樹脂組成物に関するものであり、さらに詳しくは難燃性、成形性に優れるとともに、機械的特性、特に、ヒンジ特性や引張り破断伸度が改良された難燃性ポリアミド樹脂組成物に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ポリアミド樹脂は、機械的特性、電気特性、耐薬品性、成形加工性などに優れることを利用して自動車部品、電気・電子部品などの各種分野で使用されている。このうち電気・電子部品等のように高度の難燃性を要求される分野では難燃性ポリアミドが広く利用されていて、その中でメラミンシアヌレートを配合してなる難燃性ポリアミド樹脂は公知である(例えば、特許文献1、2参照)。
このようにメラミンシアヌレートを配合して難燃性を向上させる場合、メラミンシアヌレートのポリアミド樹脂に対する分散性は悪いため、かかる難燃剤を配合した難燃性ポリアミド樹脂は、難燃剤を配合しないものと比較して機械的特性が劣るという欠点を有している。したがって、特に高い材料信頼性が要求される自動車部品や電気・電子部品等の用途においては、ヒンジ特性などの機械的特性に関しての改善が望まれる。
【0003】
一方、メラミンシアヌレートのポリアミド樹脂中での分散状態を向上させて機械的特性の低下を防ぐ方法として、ポリアミド樹脂とメラミンシアヌレートとを溶融混練したマスターバッチとポリアミド樹脂を溶融混練する手法(例えば、特許文献3参照。)が知られている。しかしながら、かかる方法では二段階の混練のためポリアミド樹脂中のメラミンシアヌレートが熱分解により、メラミンとシアヌール酸とに分解し昇華しやすくなる。この昇華したメラミン及びシアヌル酸の影響で成形加工時に成形品表面にシルバーが発生したり、金型表面を汚染しやすい。また、メラミンシアヌレートの分散性が十分とは言えず、成形品の表面に凸凹が発生したりウエルド部伸度が低いという欠点がある。
【0004】
また、ポリアミドとメラミンシアヌレートに界面活性剤を配合したメラミンシアヌレートマスターバッチで、分散性を向上させる技術も開示されている。(例えば、特許文献4参照。)かかる方法でも二段階の混練のためポリアミド樹脂中のメラミンシアヌレートが熱分解により、メラミンとシアヌール酸とに分解し昇華しやすく、シルバーや金型汚染の原因となる。また、この技術により分散性は向上するが、高度なヒンジ特性を実現するには至らない。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、難燃性に優れるとともに、機械的特性、特に高度なヒンジ特性、引張り破断伸度が改良され、更には押出や成形等の溶融加工時での難燃剤の熱分解によるガス発生を低減させた難燃性ポリアミド樹脂組成物を提供することにある。

【0008】

メラミンシアヌレート含有共重合ポリアミド66/6樹脂(C)成分は、シアヌール酸とメラミンをポリアミド形成モノマー中に添加し、ポリアミド66/6の重合及びメラミンシアヌレートの合成を同時に同系中で行って得たメラミンシアヌレート含有共重合ポリアミド66/6樹脂である。
この共重合ポリアミド66/6も、(A)成分と同様な理由で、ポリアミド6ユニットが融点と難燃剤の分解の観点から5重量%以上、機械物性の観点から30重量%以下である。より好ましくは、6〜20重量%であり、更に好ましくは、7〜15重量%である。
【0011】
また、メラミンシアヌレート含有共重合ポリアミド66/6樹脂(C)成分中のメラミンシアヌレート含有率は、難燃性の観点から(C)成分の3重量%以上、ヒンジ特性の観点から30重量%以下である。より好ましくは、4〜20重量%であり、更に好ましくは、5〜15重量%である。
該難燃性ポリアミド樹脂組成物に占めるメラミンシアヌレートの割合は難燃性の観点から0.15重量%以上、ヒンジ特性の観点から15重量%以下である。
より好ましくは、0.5〜12重量%であり、更に好ましくは、1〜10重量%である
【0012】
本願発明の組成物を得るには、(A)成分、(B)成分および(C)成分の三成分を均一混合することが必要であるが、この方法は特に限定はしないが、例えば、(A)成分、(B)成分および(C)成分の三成分をペレット状のまま、ブレンダー、ミキサー、ニューマーなどで混合したペレットブレンド物を得て、それを射出成形機、押出成形機、プレス成形機を用いて成形することができる。また、(A)成分、(B)成分および(C)成分の三成分を押出機を用いて溶融混練後ペレタイズして、均一な組成のペレットを得て、それを射出成形機、押出成形機、プレス成形機を用いて成形することができる。好ましくは、後者の均一混練方法で一度押出機で溶融混練することにより、メラミンシアヌレートの分散性が向上し、より高度なヒンジ特性を発現できる。
【0013】
なお、本発明の成形材料には所望に応じ、種々の添加剤、例えばポリアルキレンアルコール又は脂肪酸エステル等の難燃剤の分散剤、熱安定剤、紫外線吸収剤、酸化劣化防止剤、可塑剤、帯電防止剤、耐候性改良剤、滑剤、離形剤、充填剤、染料、顔料等の、他の添加剤や、他の樹脂ポリマーを本発明の目的を損なわない範囲において添加することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flame-retardant polyamide resin composition having improved physical properties, more specifically, flame retardancy, excellent moldability, and improved mechanical properties, particularly, hinge properties and tensile elongation at break. And a flame-retardant polyamide resin composition.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Polyamide resins are used in various fields such as automobile parts and electric / electronic parts, utilizing their excellent mechanical properties, electrical properties, chemical resistance, moldability and the like. Among these, flame-retardant polyamides are widely used in fields requiring a high degree of flame retardancy, such as electric and electronic parts. Among them, flame-retardant polyamide resins containing melamine cyanurate are known. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
When the flame retardancy is improved by blending melamine cyanurate in this way, the dispersibility of the melamine cyanurate in the polyamide resin is poor. Therefore, the flame retardant polyamide resin blended with such a flame retardant does not contain the flame retardant. Has the disadvantage that the mechanical properties are inferior to those of Therefore, in applications such as automobile parts and electric / electronic parts that require particularly high material reliability, improvements in mechanical properties such as hinge properties are desired.
[0003]
On the other hand, as a method of improving the dispersion state of melamine cyanurate in a polyamide resin to prevent a decrease in mechanical properties, a method of melt-kneading a polyamide resin and a master batch obtained by melt-kneading a polyamide resin and melamine cyanurate (for example, And Patent Document 3) are known. However, in such a method, melamine cyanurate in the polyamide resin is decomposed into melamine and cyanuric acid by thermal decomposition due to the two-stage kneading, and is easily sublimated. Under the influence of the sublimated melamine and cyanuric acid, silver is generated on the surface of the molded product during molding and the surface of the mold is easily contaminated. In addition, the dispersibility of melamine cyanurate cannot be said to be sufficient, and there are disadvantages in that irregularities are generated on the surface of the molded product and the weld portion has low elongation.
[0004]
Also disclosed is a technique for improving the dispersibility of a melamine cyanurate masterbatch obtained by mixing a surfactant with polyamide and melamine cyanurate. (For example, refer to Patent Document 4.) Even in such a method, melamine cyanurate in the polyamide resin is decomposed into melamine and cyanuric acid by thermal decomposition due to two-stage kneading and easily sublimates, causing silver and mold contamination. Become. Further, although the dispersibility is improved by this technique, it is not possible to realize a high hinge characteristic.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to improve the flame retardancy, improve the mechanical properties, especially the high hinge properties, the tensile elongation at break, and further improve the gas by the thermal decomposition of the flame retardant during melt processing such as extrusion and molding. An object of the present invention is to provide a flame-retardant polyamide resin composition with reduced generation.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies and found that a composition comprising a copolyamide 66/6 resin and a copolyamide 66/6 resin containing melamine cyanurate synthesized in the same system at the time of polymer polymerization with polyamide 6 was obtained. The inventors have found that the object can be achieved, and have completed the present invention based on this finding.
That is, the present invention provides a flame-retardant polyamide resin composition comprising a copolymerized polyamide 66/6 resin (A) component, a polyamide 6 resin (B) component and a melamine cyanurate-containing copolymerized polyamide 66/6 resin (C) component. A component (C) obtained by adding cyanuric acid and melamine to a polyamide-forming monomer and simultaneously performing polymerization of polyamide 66/6 and synthesis of melamine cyanurate in the same system; Wherein the melamine cyanurate is 0.15 to 15% by weight.
[0008]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. In the present invention, the copolymerized polyamide 66/6 resin (A) component has a lower melting point than the polyamide 66, and can lower the melt processing temperature during extrusion and molding, thereby suppressing the thermal decomposition of the flame retardant. Since it is excellent in tensile strength and rigidity as compared with polyamide 6, it has a balance between both gas reduction of the flame retardant and physical properties. The polyamide 6 unit of the copolymerized polyamide 66/6 resin is at least 5% by weight from the viewpoint of melting point and decomposition of the flame retardant, and is at most 30% by weight from the viewpoint of mechanical properties. More preferably, it is 6 to 20% by weight, still more preferably 7 to 15% by weight.
[0009]
The polyamide 6 resin (B) component is necessary to adjust the polyamide 6 unit ratio of the composition of the present invention and to exhibit high hinge characteristics. Although the amount of the component (B) is not particularly limited, the polyamide 6 unit ratio of the polyamide component of the flame-retardant polyamide resin composition is 15% by weight or more from the viewpoint of hinge characteristics, and 70% by weight from the viewpoint of mechanical characteristics. The component (B) is added so as to be as follows. More preferably, it is 20 to 60% by weight, still more preferably 30 to 50% by weight.
[0010]
Melamine cyanurate-containing copolymerized polyamide 66/6 resin (C) component is obtained by adding cyanuric acid and melamine to a polyamide-forming monomer and simultaneously performing polymerization of polyamide 66/6 and synthesis of melamine cyanurate in the same system. Melamine cyanurate-containing copolymerized polyamide 66/6 resin.
For the same reason as the component (A), this copolymer polyamide 66/6 has a polyamide 6 unit content of 5% by weight or more from the viewpoint of melting point and decomposition of the flame retardant, and 30% by weight or less from the viewpoint of mechanical properties. More preferably, it is 6 to 20% by weight, still more preferably 7 to 15% by weight.
[0011]

[Production Example 1]
50% by weight of an aqueous monomer solution required for producing 18.8 kg of copolymerized polyamide 66/6 containing 90% by weight of a binding unit corresponding to polyamide 66 and 10% by weight of a binding unit corresponding to polyamide 6 (Equimolar salt of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine) 39.2 kg of an aqueous solution and 1.9 kg of ε-caprolactam were charged into an 80 liter autoclave and stirred well. After the atmosphere was sufficiently replaced with nitrogen, the temperature was raised from room temperature to 220 ° C. At this time, the pressure in the autoclave became 18 kg / cm 2 in gauge pressure, but heating was continued for 1 hour while removing water from the system so that the pressure did not become 18 kg / cm 2 or more. Then, when the internal temperature reached 270 ° C, the pressure was lowered to atmospheric pressure over 1 hour while removing water from the system, then heating was stopped, the polymer was discharged in a strand form from the lower nozzle, and then cooled with water, Was cut into cylindrical pellets having a diameter of 3 mmφ and a length of 3 mm to obtain granules of copolymerized polyamide 66/6 resin. (Weight ratio of copolymer components 66: 6 = 90: 10)
(Melting point = 245 ° C)

[Production Example 2]
50% by weight of an aqueous monomer solution required for producing 18.8 kg of copolymerized polyamide 66/6 containing 90% by weight of a binding unit corresponding to polyamide 66 and 10% by weight of a binding unit corresponding to polyamide 6 (Equimolar salt of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine) An aqueous solution (39.2 kg) and ε-caprolactam (1.9 kg) were mixed and adjusted. Next, the concentration of the monomer was heated and concentrated to 70% by weight in an 80-liter autoclave. Next, a slurry obtained by adding 2 kg of water to 1180 g (9.4 mol) of melamine and a slurry obtained by adding 2 kg of water to 1220 g (9.4 mol) of cyanuric acid were injected into the autoclave. Immediately with stirring and heating, the temperature and pressure are adjusted and the polymerization reaction is carried out for about 4 hours and 40 minutes. The contents are discharged into strands, and after cooling with water, cut into cylindrical pellets 3 mm in diameter x 3 mm in length with a cutter.

[0020]
(2) Hinge characteristics Using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Nissei Industry Co., Ltd .: PS40E, cylinder temperature: 270 ° C, mold temperature: 60 ° C), a hinge molded product (Fig. 1) is molded, and the temperature is 23 ° C, 50% RH atmosphere. Using an automatic repetitive hinge tester below, bend the hinge part almost to 180 ° and return it to its original position (0 °) at a rate of once / second. It was measured whether it was destroyed. Those that did not break even 20,000 times were accepted.
[0021]
(3) Flame retardancy (special oxygen index)
Molding was performed using an injection molding machine (manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., IS150) to obtain a flat molded product (width 130 mm × length 130 mm × thickness 1 mm). This molded product was cut into a width of 6.5 mm to obtain a rod-shaped test piece having a width of 6.5 mm, a length of 130 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. This test piece was measured using an apparatus and a method according to JIS K7201-2. However, the ignition time (flame contact time) was set within 15 seconds, and the pass / fail judgment was made based on whether the combustion time after the flame contact continued for 4 seconds or more, and the maximum oxygen concentration that disappeared by 4 seconds was obtained. The greater the value, the higher the flame retardancy. In this case, 24% or more was regarded as a pass.
