Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin composition and a molded article thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Aromatic polycarbonate resins are formed into various molded products by simple and highly productive processing methods such as injection molding, and are used in a wide range of industrial fields. In particular, aromatic polycarbonate resins are widely used in applications requiring high transparency, such as various lighting covers and protective covers for transparent displays, taking advantage of their excellent transparency, represented by their high light transmittance and extremely low haze. In these applications, because light sources such as fluorescent lamps and light bulbs reach high temperatures, or are exposed to high humidity when used in bathrooms or outdoors, it is necessary to maintain transparency, hue, and mechanical properties even when exposed to heat or moisture, and in addition to the transparency of the resin composition, the moisture and heat resistance of the resin composition is emphasized.

[0003] In these applications, flame retardancy in the event of a fire has also been attracting attention in recent years, and resin compositions having high flame retardancy in addition to the above characteristics are required. As a method for imparting flame retardancy to aromatic polycarbonate resins, flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin compositions containing halogen-based compounds or phosphorus-based compounds have been proposed and are used in office automation equipment, home appliances, and other products for which flame retardancy is highly desired, while flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin compositions containing components that replace these flame retardants have been developed and are beginning to be used in the above-mentioned products. The purpose of this change in flame retardant is to suppress the generation of corrosive gases during molding and to improve the recyclability of products, etc.

[0004] As a new flame retardant replacing the flame retardants listed above, for example, a silicone compound can be mentioned. In recent years, flame-retardant resin compositions in which a silicone compound is blended with an aromatic polycarbonate resin have been vigorously studied, and various proposals have been made.

[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a method of blending an alkali (earth) metal salt of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid and an organosiloxane having an alkoxy group, a vinyl group, and a phenyl group with a polycarbonate resin, and Patent Document 2 proposes a method of blending an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid and an organopolysiloxane containing an organoxysilyl group bonded to a silicon atom via a divalent hydrocarbon group with a polycarbonate resin.

[0006] In addition, Patent Document 3 proposes a method of blending specific petroleum-based heavy oils or pitches and a silicone compound into a polycarbonate resin component, and Patent Document 4 proposes a method of blending a silicone compound with a non-silicone resin having an aromatic ring, which is represented by the formula R 0 2 SiO 1.0 (R 0 represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group. The same applies below.) and R 0 SiO 1.5 and a method of blending a silicone resin having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or more and 270,000 or less, which has a structural unit represented by the following formula:

[0007] However, the polycarbonate resin composition proposed above was not sufficient in transparency and flame retardancy. In particular, there were problems such as dripping in thin-walled products, failure to achieve V-0 rank under UL Standard 94, insufficient dispersion of the silicone component causing clouding in molded products, and reduced transparency after moist heat treatment due to aggregation of the silicone component.

[0008] On the other hand, Patent Document 5 specifically proposes a resin composition in which an organic alkali metal salt and poly(methyl hydrogen siloxane) are added to an aromatic polycarbonate resin. However, this resin composition itself becomes cloudy, and furthermore, poor dispersion such as peeling occurs on the surface of the molded product, and the transparency is not sufficient.

[0009] Furthermore, Patent Documents 6 and 7 propose transparent, flame-retardant polycarbonate resin compositions obtained by blending an aromatic polycarbonate resin with a silicone component containing an Si-H group and an aromatic group in the molecule.

[0010] Patent Document 8 proposes a flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition that contains an aromatic polycarbonate resin blended with a specific core-shell type graft copolymer having a butadiene rubber core, and further contains a fluorinated polyolefin and an organic sulfonate metal salt flame retardant, specifically potassium perfluorobutanesulfonate.

[0011] In the above-mentioned prior art, polytetrafluoroethylene having fibril forming ability is often used as an anti-drip agent. However, when polytetrafluoroethylene is blended with aromatic polycarbonate resin, the appearance of the molded product becomes cloudy because polytetrafluoroethylene and aromatic polycarbonate resin are incompatible with each other. Furthermore, organic sulfonic acid metal salts, specifically potassium perfluorobutanesulfonate, are often used as flame retardants, but these are also incompatible with aromatic polycarbonate resins, and have the drawback of causing the appearance to become cloudy.

[0012] Meanwhile, in recent years, fluorine compounds have become the subject of international regulations, primarily in Japan, Europe, and the United States, and there are moves to further strengthen these regulations. In Europe, perfluorobutanesulfonic acid and its metal salts (PFBS) are regulated by REACH, and restrictions on organic fluorine compounds (PFAS), such as perfluoro and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, are also being implemented primarily in Europe and the United States. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0013] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-306265 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-336547 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-169914 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-139964 [Patent Document 5] Special Publication No. 60-38419 [Patent Document 6] Patent No. 3779623 [Patent Document 7] Patent No. 3779624 [Patent Document 8] JP 2019-19191 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0014] Therefore, in order to comply with the above PFBS and PFAS regulations, a polycarbonate resin composition that exhibits excellent flame retardancy without relying on perfluorobutanesulfonic acid metal salts or polytetrafluoroethylene is highly desired. However, it is not easy to achieve flame retardancy (V-0 in the UL-94 standard) without using perfluorobutanesulfonic acid and its metal salts, which are effective flame retardants, and polytetrafluoroethylene, which is an effective drip prevention agent.

[0015] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin composition which is excellent in transparency and in preventing resin dripping during combustion without using a fluorine compound, and a molded article thereof.

[0028] The reaction by the interfacial polycondensation method is usually a reaction between a dihydric phenol and phosgene, and is carried out in the presence of an acid binder and an organic solvent. Specific examples of the acid binder include alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, and amine compounds such as pyridine.

To accelerate the reaction, a catalyst such as a tertiary amine, a quaternary ammonium compound, or a quaternary phosphonium compound, for example, triethylamine, tetra-n-butylammonium bromide, or tetra-n-butylphosphonium bromide, can be used. The reaction conditions are not particularly limited, and for example, the reaction temperature is usually preferably 0 to 40° C., the reaction time is preferably about 10 minutes to 5 hours, and the pH during the reaction is preferably maintained at 9 or higher.

[0029] In the above polymerization reaction, a terminal terminator is usually used. As such a terminal terminator, a monofunctional phenol can be used.

[0037] The reaction by the melt transesterification method is usually a transesterification reaction between a dihydric phenol and a carbonate ester, and is carried out, for example, by mixing a dihydric phenol and a carbonate ester while heating them in the presence of an inert gas, and distilling off the resulting alcohol or phenol. The reaction conditions are not particularly limited, and the reaction temperature varies depending on the boiling point of the produced alcohol or phenol, but is usually preferably 120 to 350° C. In the latter stage of the reaction, it is preferable to reduce the pressure of the system to about 1.33×103 to 13.3 Pa to facilitate distillation of the produced alcohol or phenol. The reaction time is usually preferably about 1 to 4 hours.

[0038] Examples of carbonate esters include esters of an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having 7 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and the like, which may be substituted. Specific examples thereof include diphenyl carbonate, bis(chlorophenyl) carbonate, dinaphthyl carbonate, bis(diphenyl) carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dibutyl carbonate, and the like, and among these, diphenyl carbonate is preferable.

[0039] In addition, a polymerization catalyst can be used to increase the polymerization rate. Examples of such polymerization catalysts include alkali metal compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and sodium and potassium salts of dihydric phenols; alkaline earth metal compounds such as calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide; nitrogen-containing basic compounds such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, trimethylamine, and triethylamine; alkoxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals; organic acid salts of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals; zinc compounds, boron compounds, aluminum compounds, silicon compounds, germanium compounds, organic tin compounds, lead compounds, osmium compounds, antimony compounds, manganese compounds, titanium compounds, and zirconium compounds, which are generally used in esterification reactions and transesterification reactions.

The amount of the polymerization catalyst used is preferably 1×10 -8 ~1×10 -3 equivalent, more preferably 1×10 -7 ~5×10 -4 is selected within the equivalent range.

[0040] In addition, in order to reduce the number of phenolic terminal groups in the polymerization reaction, compounds such as bis(chlorophenyl)carbonate, bis(bromophenyl)carbonate, bis(nitrophenyl)carbonate, bis(phenylphenyl)carbonate, chlorophenylphenylcarbonate, bromophenylphenylcarbonate, nitrophenylphenylcarbonate, phenylphenylcarbonate, methoxycarbonylphenylphenylcarbonate and ethoxycarbonylphenylphenylcarbonate can be added in the later stage or after the completion of the polycondensation reaction. Of these, 2-chlorophenyl phenyl carbonate, 2-methoxycarbonylphenyl phenyl carbonate and 2-ethoxycarbonylphenyl phenyl carbonate are preferred, with 2-methoxycarbonylphenyl phenyl carbonate being more preferred.

[0041] Furthermore, in the polymerization reaction, it is preferable to use a deactivator that neutralizes the activity of the catalyst.Specific examples of this deactivator include sulfonic acid esters such as benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methyl benzenesulfonate, ethyl benzenesulfonate, butyl benzenesulfonate, octyl benzenesulfonate, phenyl benzenesulfonate, methyl p-toluenesulfonate, ethyl p-toluenesulfonate, butyl p-toluenesulfonate, octyl p-toluenesulfonate, and phenyl p-toluenesulfonate; and further, naphthalenesulfonic acid, sulfonated polystyrene, methyl acrylate-sulfonated styrene copolymer, 2-phenyl-2-propyl dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 2-phenyl-2-butyl dodecylbenzenesulfonate, tetrabutyl octyl sulfonate, tetrabutyl decyl sulfonate, tetrabutyl benzenesulfonate, tetraethyl dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Examples of compounds that can be mentioned include, but are not limited to, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid tetrabutylphosphonium salt, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid tetrahexylphosphonium salt, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid tetraoctylphosphonium salt, decylammonium butyl sulfate, decylammonium decyl sulfate, dodecylammonium methyl sulfate, dodecylammonium ethyl sulfate, dodecylmethylammonium methyl sulfate, dodecyldimethylammonium tetradecyl sulfate, tetradecyldimethylammonium methyl sulfate, tetramethylammonium hexyl sulfate, decyltrimethylammonium hexadecyl sulfate, tetrabutylammonium dodecylbenzyl sulfate, tetraethylammonium dodecylbenzyl sulfate, and tetramethylammonium dodecylbenzyl sulfate. These compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among the deactivators, those of the phosphonium salt or ammonium salt type are preferred.

[0042] The amount of these deactivators is preferably 0.5 to 50 mol per mol of the remaining catalyst, and is preferably 0.01 to 500 ppm, more preferably 0.01 to 300 ppm, and further preferably 0.01 to 100 ppm, based on the polycarbonate resin after polymerization.

[0043] The molecular weight of the aromatic polycarbonate resin of component (A) is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of mechanical properties and moldability at high temperatures, the viscosity average molecular weight is preferably 10,000 to 50,000, more preferably 14,000 to 45,000, and even more preferably 14,000 to 40,000. The viscosity average molecular weight is calculated by measuring the intrinsic viscosity [η] of a methylene chloride solution at 20°C and calculating it according to the Schnell formula ([η] = 1.23 × 10 -5 ×Mv 0.83 ) can be calculated. The component (A) may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0044] As the component (A), commercially available products can be used, such as NOVAREX M-7027U, M-7025U (branched polycarbonate resins manufactured by Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics Corporation), Panlite K-1300Y (polymeric polycarbonate resin manufactured by Teijin Limited), Toughlon IR-2500 (polymeric polycarbonate resin manufactured by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.), FN-2200 (standard polycarbonate resin manufactured by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.), and Iupilon S-3000N (standard polycarbonate resin manufactured by Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics Corporation).

[0045] In general, the high molecular weight and branched type resins commercially available are aromatic polycarbonate resins with high viscosity average molecular weights, which tend to have a low melt volume flow rate (MVR), which is an index of fluidity and moldability, and are therefore preferred. The component (A) in the flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention has an MVR of 2 to 8 cm at 300° C. and a load of 1.2 kg according to ISO 1133-1. 3The aromatic polycarbonate resin having a viscosity of 100 / 10 minutes is contained in an amount of 20% by mass or more, preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the component (A). If the aromatic polycarbonate resin is less than 20% by mass, drip resistance cannot be obtained. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but is preferably 95% by mass or less, more preferably 90% by mass or less. In addition, the MVR is 2 cm 3 If it is less than 10 minutes, the fluidity is insufficient and moldability tends to be poor. 3 If the temperature exceeds 100°C / min, impact resistance, etc. will decrease.

[0046] The aromatic polycarbonate resin of component (A) preferably does not contain a halogen-substituted skeleton such as a halogen-substituted dihydric phenol in the molecule.

[0047] The aromatic polycarbonate resin of component (A) may contain an aromatic polycarbonate resin regenerated from used products (so-called material recycled polycarbonate resin), or an aromatic polycarbonate resin produced from an aromatic polycarbonate resin that has been chemically decomposed and returned to its raw materials (so-called chemically recycled polycarbonate resin).

However, when c is 0, one or more of R 2 and R 3 are hydrogen atoms, and preferably one of R 3 is a hydrogen atom.

[0057] The sequence order of the siloxane units of component (B) is not particularly limited, and any form of random copolymerization, block copolymerization, or tapered copolymerization may be used.

[0058] As component (B), in formula (1), those in which Ar is a phenyl group and x is 2 are preferred, and those in which Ar is a phenyl group, x is 2, and f is 0 are more preferred. Specific examples of the component (B) include, but are not limited to, those represented by the following formulas: [(R 11 O)(CH 3 ) 2 SiO 1 / 2 ] a [(CH 3 ) 3 SiO 1 / 2 ] b [H(CH 3 )SiO 2 / 2 ] c1 [(C 6 H 5 ) 2 SiO 2 / 2 ] d [(CH 3 ) 2 SiO 2 / 2 ] e1 [(R 11 O)(CH 3 ) 2 SiO 1 / 2 ] a [H(CH 3 ) 2 SiO 1 / 2 ] b [(C 6 H 5 ) 2 SiO 2 / 2 ] d [(CH 3 ) 2 SiO 2 / 2 ] e1 [C 6 H 5 SiO 3 / 2 ] f1 (In the formula, R 11 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, a, b, d, and f are the same as above, c1 is a number that satisfies 0.1≦c1≦0.40, e1 is a number that satisfies 0.02≦e1≦0.15, and f1 is a number that satisfies 0.10≦f1≦0.60.

[0059] The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of component (B) measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is 700 to 10,000, preferably 800 to 9,000. If Mw is less than 700, component (B) tends to volatilize during kneading, resulting in a reduced amount of component (B) to be blended and failing to provide a flame retardant effect. On the other hand, if Mw is more than 10,000, the compatibility and dispersibility with component (A) is reduced, resulting in a reduced transparency and flame retardancy of the composition.

[0060] Component (B) contains chloride ions (Cl) derived from the acid catalyst used in the production process. - ) and sulfate ion (SO 4 2- ) may remain in the composition, and these remaining ions may cause thermal decomposition of the composition and corrosion of metal parts of the apparatus at high temperatures during kneading, injection molding, etc., so the content of chloride ions and sulfate ions relative to the mass of component (B) is preferably 3 ppm by mass or less.

[0061] Furthermore, if component (B) contains volatile matter, there is a risk that evaporation of the volatile matter during kneading or injection molding may cause problems such as molding defects. Therefore, it is preferable that the mass loss when heated at 150°C for 30 minutes at 1 atmospheric pressure is 3 mass% or less relative to the mass of component (B).

[0062] The volume of hydrogen gas generated per unit mass by the alkali decomposition method of the component (B) is preferably 30 to 80 mL / g. More preferably, it is 40 to 70 mL / g. When it is 30 mL / g or more, the structure of the component (B) is easily formed, and dripping during combustion can be suppressed. When it is 80 mL / g or less, it is possible to suppress the molded product from becoming cloudy due to foaming caused by the reaction of excess Si-H groups with moisture in the air during heat treatment, which generates hydrogen gas from the resin composition. Here, the structure of the component (B) refers to a network structure generated by the mutual reaction of the organohydrogenpolysiloxane itself, or the reaction of the aromatic polycarbonate resin with the organohydrogenpolysiloxane.

[0063] As reported in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 6 and 7, organohydrogenpolysiloxanes containing Si-H groups and aromatic groups in the molecule are known to act as flame retardants. In the present invention, component (B) further contains, in addition to these groups, [(R 1 O)(R 2 ) 2 SiO 1 / 2 ](R 1 and R 2 is the same as above. The same applies below.) improves flame retardancy. This is because component (B) migrates to the surface during combustion, and in addition to the formation of a structure by the Si-H group, (R 1 O) groups and (R 1 It is presumed that dripping is suppressed by increasing the formation of structure through cross-linking between the Si-H groups and the O groups.

[0064] In the flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention, from the viewpoint of improving the dispersibility of the (B) component and suppressing the composition from becoming cloudy or losing transparency due to wet heat treatment, the amount of aryl groups in the (B) component is preferably 10 to 80% by mass, more preferably 15 to 70% by mass. Here, the amount of aryl groups can be calculated by the following formula. Aryl group amount = [A / M] x 100 (mass%) A: Sum of formula weights of aryl groups per molecule of component (B) M: Weight average molecular weight of component (B)

[0065] The component (B) may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0066] The blending amount of the (B) component is 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, preferably 0.5 to 7 parts by mass, and more preferably 1 to 5 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the aromatic polycarbonate resin (A) component. If it is less than 0.1 part by mass, flame retardancy cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 10 parts by mass, the transparency of the composition decreases or molding defects occur.

[0067] The organohydrogenpolysiloxane of component (B) can be obtained, for example, by cohydrolytic condensation of organochlorosilanes and removing the by-product hydrochloric acid and low-boiling components. [(R 1 O)(R 2 ) 2 SiO 1 / 2 The method for introducing the ] unit is dimethylchlorosilane (H(CH 3 ) 2 By using silanes having Si-H groups such as SiCl as raw materials, the hydrogen atoms of the Si-H groups are converted to R by the hydrochloric acid by-product in the reaction. 1 It can be easily converted to an O group.

[0068] Furthermore, when linear siloxanes, cyclic siloxanes, or alkoxysilanes are used as the starting materials, the organohydrogenpolysiloxane of component (B) can also be obtained by proceeding with the equilibration reaction and condensation reaction using an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or methanesulfonic acid, and then removing the acid catalyst and low-boiling point components used. In this case, hexamethyldisiloxane or the like is used as the terminal component, and an equilibration reaction is carried out with highly acidic acids such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid to form a trimethylsilyl group [(CH 3 ) 3 SiO 1 / 2 ] is partially cleaved to form R 1 It is converted to an O group.

[0120] [2] Production of polycarbonate resin composition [Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6] The following components were mixed to prepare a resin composition. Specifically, first, each of the (A) components was pre-dried at 120°C for 10 hours using a hot air circulation dryer. Next, the A-1 to A-6 components were weighed out in the composition ratios (parts by mass) shown in Tables 2 and 3 and supplied to the first hopper. Also, a mixture of the A-7 component, the (B) component, the (C) component, and the (D) component mixed in a mixer was supplied to the second hopper. The components in each hopper were fed from a gravimetric weighing single-screw feeder (KS60 manufactured by K-Tron Co., Ltd.), and a resin composition was prepared using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder (OMega30H manufactured by STEER Co., Ltd.). A strand was extruded under the condition of a barrel set temperature of 280°C, cooled in a water bath, and then strand cut with a pelletizer to pelletize. The extrusion conditions were as follows. Discharge rate: 20 kg / h, screw speed: 150 rpm, resin temperature: 308°C, torque: 150-180 N·m, resin pressure: 2.1-2.5 MPa

[0121] The obtained pellets were dried in a hot air circulation dryer at 120°C for 6 hours, and molded into a molded product with a thickness of 2 mm using an electric injection molding machine (J100ADS-110 manufactured by The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.) at a cylinder temperature of 280 to 300°C and a mold temperature of 83°C.

[0126] [3] Evaluation of molded product characteristics The following properties were evaluated for the obtained molded product having a thickness of 2 mm. The results are shown in Tables 2 and 3. (6) Transparency (haze) The transparency of the molded product was measured by haze value in accordance with JIS K7105. (7) UL Standard 94 Vertical Flame Test A vertical flame test according to UL Standard 94 was conducted using a rectangular molded product with a length of 127 mm, width of 13 mm and thickness of 2 mm, which was manufactured according to the US UL standard. The flame of a burner was applied to the bottom end of the test piece held vertically for 10 seconds, and the flame retardancy was evaluated based on the flaming time and dripping property (cotton ignition due to dripping) according to the criteria shown in Table 1. Here, the flaming time is the length of time that the test specimen continues to burn with a flame after the ignition source is removed. Cotton ignition due to dripping is determined by whether or not the cotton marking located about 300 mm below the bottom end of the test specimen is ignited by dripping from the test specimen. Five test specimens were used for one molding material, and the flaming time was evaluated as the total time for the five specimens. Cotton ignition due to dripping was evaluated as "no ignition" if no ignition was observed in any of the five specimens.

[0127] [Table 1]

[0128] [Table 2]

[0129] [Table 3]

[0130] As shown in Table 2, the flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin compositions of Examples 1 to 7 are excellent in flame retardancy. On the other hand, as shown in Table 3, in Comparative Example 1 in which component (B) was not blended, and in Comparative Example 2 in which component (C) was not blended, cotton ignition due to dripping occurred. In addition, the component (B) is a structural unit [(R 1 O)(R 2 ) 2 SiO 1 / 2 In Comparative Examples 3 and 4, in which the composition was changed to BR-1 and BR-2, which did not contain the above, ignition of cotton due to dripping occurred. In addition, the MVR is 8cm 3 In Comparative Example 5, in which only an aromatic polycarbonate resin was used, ignition of cotton due to dripping was observed even when the drying time exceeded 10 minutes. In Comparative Example 6, in which component (B) was changed to an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having a weight average molecular weight of more than 10,000, no cotton ignition due to dripping occurred, but the flaming combustion time was long, resulting in poor flame retardancy.

[0131] As is apparent from the above, the flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention contains at least one flame retardant selected from organopolysiloxane, organic alkali metal salt, and organic alkaline earth metal salt, and thus has good drip prevention performance and excellent transparency. The flame-retardant aromatic polycarbonate resin composition of the present invention has the advantage of being substantially free of fluorinated organic compounds. In addition, the resin composition of the present invention has high thermal stability even when melted at high temperatures during injection molding, etc. Therefore, it is extremely useful not only for lighting covers and protective covers for transmission type displays, but also for various industrial applications such as office automation equipment and electrical and electronic equipment, and the industrial effects it provides are extremely large.
