[0019] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a container according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0022] Furthermore, the resin molded article of the present invention has a weight change rate of 1% or more and 10% or less, measured under the following measurement conditions.

[0023] <Measurement conditions> First, a sample is prepared by cutting the resin molded body into a size of 100 mm length x 100 mm width x 2 mm thickness. Next, the sample is immersed in 1 L of oil at 60°C for 500 hours. Next, the weight change rate ((BA) / A) is calculated from the weight A of the sample before immersion in oil and the weight B of the sample after immersion in oil.

[0024] The weight change rate ((BA) / A) is preferably 1% or more, more preferably 2% or more, and even more preferably 3% or more, and is preferably 10% or less, more preferably 9.5% or less, and even more preferably 9% or less.

[0025] Since the resin molded article of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it has excellent oil resistance, mechanical strength, and impact resistance.

[0026] Conventionally, resin molded articles made of polypropylene resin, for example when used for containers and the like, are inexpensive and have excellent mechanical strength, but have a problem in that they are prone to deterioration when in contact with oil for a long period of time.

[0027] On the other hand, resin molded articles made of polyethylene resin have a problem that they are inferior in mechanical strength compared to polypropylene resin, and when an inorganic filler is added to a polyethylene resin for the purpose of improving the mechanical strength, the impact resistance of the resin molded article is reduced.

[0028] In response to this, the present inventors have focused on a resin molded article containing a high-density polyethylene resin and calcium carbonate.

[0029] In particular, the present inventors have found that a resin molded product which contains a high-density polyethylene resin and calcium carbonate and has a weight change rate ((BA) / A) measured under the above-mentioned measurement conditions of 1% or more and 10% or less has excellent oil resistance, mechanical strength, and impact resistance.

[0102] Empty drop strength; The sample was placed at a height of 3 m in a room at 23°C. The sample was then allowed to naturally drop so that the corners of the sample touched the ground, and the sample was visually checked for the occurrence of cracks. If no cracks were found in the sample, the sample was allowed to naturally drop again so that the corners of the sample touched the ground, and the sample was visually checked for the occurrence of cracks. The above was repeated three times, and the sample was evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0103] <Evaluation criteria> ○: The grounded portion of the sample was visually inspected and found to have no cracks or breaks. △: When the sample's contact area was visually inspected, any cracks or breaks were found to be minute and less than 2 mm in length. ×: The grounded portion of the sample was visually inspected and found to have cracks or fissures with a length of 2 mm or more.

[0104] Drop ball strength; First, the sample was placed on a horizontal surface in a temperature-controlled room at 23°C. Then, an iron ball (weight 1 kg) was allowed to drop naturally onto the top surface of the sample from a position 1 m high in the vertical direction from the top surface of the sample. The presence or absence of cracks in the sample due to the drop of the iron ball was visually observed. If no cracks were observed in the sample, the iron ball was allowed to drop naturally onto the top surface of the sample from a position 10 cm higher in the vertical direction, and the presence or absence of cracks in the sample was visually observed. Then, the height of the iron ball was increased by 10 cm at a time, and the free fall of the iron ball was repeated until a crack was observed in the sample, and the minimum height of the iron ball at which a crack occurred in the sample was measured.

[0105] The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0107] (Oil immersion test) Tensile test; In Example 2 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, a dumbbell-shaped plate-like resin molding having a length of 170 mm, a width of 80 mm, a central width of 10 mm, and a thickness of 4 mm was obtained as a sample.

[0108] The samples were immersed in 1 L of oil (manufactured by Nihon Parkerizing Co., Ltd., product name "NOX-RUST 46-78A") at the temperature and time conditions shown in Table 3. At this time, the tensile strength (strength) and tensile elongation (elongation) of the samples before and after oil immersion were measured in accordance with JIS K7139. The tensile strength and tensile elongation were measured using a Tensilon universal testing machine (manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd., model number "RTC-1210A").

[0109] The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0110] [Table 3]

[0111] Bottom deflection test; In Example 2 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, a resin molded product (container) having the shape shown in FIG. 1 was obtained and used as a measurement sample.

[0112] The measurement samples were stacked in two layers, and the depth of the center of the upper sample was measured in length (measured value before the test). Next, 300 ml of oil (manufactured by Nihon Parkerizing Co., Ltd., product name "NOX-RUST 46-78A") and 20 kg of bolts were placed in the upper sample, and it was placed in a thermostatic chamber at 60°C and left for 24 hours. Then, the oil and bolts were removed, and the depth (mm) of the center of the upper sample was measured with a ruler. Next, after leaving it in a room at 23°C for 24 hours, the depth of the center of the upper sample was measured with a ruler. The above operation was repeated to evaluate the change in the depth of the center of the upper sample (change in the amount of deflection of the bottom of the container).

[0113] The results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0114] [Table 4]

[0115] As shown in Tables 1 to 4, it was confirmed that the resin molded articles obtained in Examples 1 to 4 were excellent in oil resistance, mechanical strength, and impact resistance. Although the results of Example 1 are not shown in Table 2, it was confirmed that the impact resistance was enhanced as in Example 2. On the other hand, the resin molded articles obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 did not have sufficient oil resistance, and this tendency was particularly noticeable in Comparative Example 3, which used polypropylene resin. Moreover, Comparative Example 2, which used only high-density polyethylene resin, did not have sufficient mechanical strength. [Explanation of symbols]
