  The present invention relates to a polyacetal resin composition and a polyacetal resin molded article containing the same. Specifically, it is a polyacetal resin composition that is excellent in thermal stability and suppresses the generation of formaldehyde from pellets and resin molded products according to various uses, and has a sufficient hiding power, such as white and other color tones. The present invention relates to a polyacetal resin composition and a polyacetal resin molded article containing the same.

  Polyacetal resin is an engineering plastic with an excellent balance of mechanical properties (friction resistance / abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, creep resistance, dimensional stability), extremely excellent fatigue resistance, and low water absorption. . In recent years, polyacetal resin has made use of these characteristics to make automobile interior parts, interior parts such as houses (hot water mixer taps, etc.), clothing parts (fasteners, belt buckles, etc.) and building materials (piping, pump parts, etc.), electrical Used in resin parts used for parts (gears, etc.), demand is growing.

On the other hand, since the main raw material of the polyacetal resin monomer is formaldehyde, a slight thermal decomposition reaction occurs due to the thermal history during the production of polyacetal resin and processing molding, and formaldehyde is generated in a very small amount. There were problems of contamination of the mold and worsening the working (hygienic) environment during the molding operation. Further, in recent years, sick house syndrome due to formaldehyde generated from the final resin product has also occurred and has become a problem.
In response to this situation, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has issued a guideline value for formaldehyde concentration in the building (upper limit 0.08 ppm), and as a measure against sick house syndrome, further reduction of the amount of formaldehyde generated is required.

On the other hand, conventionally, various polyacetal resin additives have been studied in order to suppress the generation of formaldehyde from the polyacetal resin pellets and molded articles thereof. For example, nitrogen compounds such as melamine compounds, hydrazine compounds, urea compounds, amine and amide compounds, a plurality of these nitrogen compounds, or hindered phenol compounds (sterically hindered phenol compounds), Additives in combination with antioxidants have been reported.
Specific additives include a melamine-formaldehyde polymer (see Patent Document 1), a polyamine reactant (see Patent Document 2) obtained by reacting a reaction product of polyamine and cyanuric chloride with ammonia or a derivative thereof. Dicyandiamide compound (see Patent Document 3), silane compound (see Patent Document 4), nitrogen-containing compound-borate (see Patent Document 5), glyoxydiureide compound (see Patent Document 6), urea derivative And / or amidine derivatives (see Patent Document 7), condensates of phenol compounds, basic nitrogen-containing compounds and aldehydes (see Patent Document 8), and triazine ring-containing spiro compounds (see Patent Document 9), etc. Has been proposed.

Further, a strong protonic acid such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is used as a catalyst used in the production of the polyacetal resin to suppress the generation of formaldehyde (see Patent Document 10), adipic acid dihydrazide or 1 An aliphatic dihydrazide compound such as 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid hydrazide compound (see Patent Document 11) and a combination of such a nitrogen-containing compound and a fatty acid metal salt have been proposed (Patent Document 12). reference).
On the other hand, it is generally known to use a pigment such as titanium oxide when coloring a polyacetal resin. Titanium oxide is a useful pigment that can efficiently give white color to the polyacetal resin and at the same time provide a shielding effect, so it is often used in the production of white and colored resin compositions adjusted to colors other than white. Yes.

It turns out that it is a thing. On the other hand, in the comparative example, since titanium oxide is used, the white appearance is not much different from the example, but it can be seen that the thermal stability and formaldehyde generation suppression are insufficient.
From these results, the polyacetal resin composition of the present invention provides a colored polyacetal resin composition exhibiting a color tone with sufficient hiding power by using not only white but also a desired dye / pigment in combination with this. It is clear that can be done.
