[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a long part, and more particularly to a long part comprising a polyamide resin, a glass fiber, and a halogen-free flame retardant. [Background technology]
[0002] BACKGROUND ART Polyamide resins are excellent in mechanical properties, heat resistance, etc., and are therefore used in a variety of applications, such as electrical and electronic parts, automobile parts, and machine parts. In particular, for applications in electrical and electronic components, a high level of flame retardancy based on the UL-94 standard is required, and therefore compositions containing various flame retardants and polyamide resins have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a flame-retardant polyamide resin composition containing a polyamide resin, an adduct formed from melamine and phosphoric acid, an inorganic filler, and a specific metal salt of a higher fatty acid. Patent Document 1 describes that the flame-retardant polyamide resin composition has extremely high thin-wall flame retardancy, does not generate highly corrosive hydrogen halide gas during combustion, has excellent mechanical properties and moldability, and further has little bleeding. Patent Document 2 proposes a flame-retardant polyamide composition containing a polyamide resin, a flame retardant having no halogen groups in the molecule, a fatty acid metal salt, and a reinforcing agent. Patent Document 2 describes that the flame-retardant polyamide composition is halogen-free and has excellent mechanical properties such as toughness, heat resistance in a reflow soldering process, and particularly excellent flowability.

[0009] [Figure 1] 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a long part according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the measurement of mechanical strength of long parts produced in Examples and Comparative Examples. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The following describes an example of an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "the present embodiment"). However, the embodiment described below is merely an example for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following description. In addition, although preferred embodiments are shown in this specification, a combination of two or more of the individual preferred embodiments is also a preferred embodiment. When there are several numerical ranges for matters shown as numerical ranges, the lower limit and upper limit can be selectively combined to form a preferred embodiment. In this specification, when a numerical range is stated as "XX to YY", it means "XX or more and YY or less." Furthermore, in this specification, the term "unit" (where "" indicates a monomer) means "a structural unit derived from", for example, a "dicarboxylic acid unit" means "a structural unit derived from a dicarboxylic acid", and a "diamine unit" means "a structural unit derived from a diamine".
[0011] [Long parts] The long part according to this embodiment comprises a polyamide resin (A), a glass fiber (B), and a halogen-free flame retardant (C), and the content of the polyamide resin (A) is 30 to 60 mass %, the content of the glass fiber (B) is 35 to 55 mass %, and the content of the halogen-free flame retardant (C) is 5 to 20 mass %.
[0012] The long part according to the present embodiment has excellent mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and thin-wall flame retardancy despite its long length. Although the details of the reason for this are unknown, it is presumed to be due to the following reasons. Increasing the content of halogen-free flame retardant (C) to improve thin-wall flame retardancy reduces the mechanical strength of long parts. On the other hand, adding glass fiber (B) to long parts is expected to improve mechanical strength. By setting the content of polyamide resin (A), halogen-free flame retardant (C), and glass fiber (B) in long parts within specific ranges, it is believed that both excellent mechanical strength and excellent thin-wall flame retardancy can be achieved. Furthermore, long parts are prone to anisotropic shrinkage after manufacture, causing changes in the shape and dimensions of their long sides. However, when a specific amount of glass fiber (B) is contained in a long part, the glass fiber (B) is aligned along the long side direction, suppressing the anisotropic shrinkage that occurs after manufacture. As a result, it is believed that changes in the shape and dimensions of the long part are suppressed, resulting in good dimensional stability.

The terminal blocking rate can be calculated by measuring the number of carboxy groups, amino groups, and terminal blocking agent-derived structural units that constitute the structural units at the ends of the polyamide molecular chain, and then calculating the rate according to the following formula. 1 It can be determined based on the integral value of the characteristic signal corresponding to each structural unit calculated by H-NMR.
[0031] End sealing rate (%)=[(YZ) / Y]×100
[0032] In the formula, Y represents the total number of molecular chain ends of the polyamide resin (A), and Z represents the total number of carboxy groups and amino groups. The total number of molecular chain ends of the polyamide resin (A), Y, can be calculated, for example, by measuring the molecular weight of the polyamide resin (A) and multiplying the number of molecular chains derived therefrom. Alternatively, it can be calculated as the total number of structural units derived from carboxy groups, amino groups, and end-capping agents.
[0033] As the terminal blocking agent, a monofunctional compound having reactivity with a terminal amino group or a terminal carboxyl group can be used. Specific examples include monocarboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, monoisocyanates, monoacid halides, monoesters, monoalcohols, and monoamines. From the viewpoints of reactivity and the stability of the blocked terminals, monocarboxylic acids are preferred as terminal blocking agents for terminal amino groups, and monoamines are preferred as terminal blocking agents for terminal carboxyl groups. From the viewpoints of ease of handling, monocarboxylic acids are more preferred as terminal blocking agents.
[0034] The monocarboxylic acid used as the terminal blocking agent is not particularly limited as long as it is reactive with an amino group.

Among these, at least one selected from acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, lauric acid, tridecanoic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and benzoic acid is preferred in terms of reactivity, stability of the blocked terminal, cost, and the like.
[0035] The monoamine used as the terminal blocking agent is not particularly limited as long as it is reactive with a carboxyl group. Examples of the monoamine include aliphatic monoamines such as methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, hexylamine, octylamine, decylamine, stearylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, and dibutylamine; alicyclic monoamines such as cyclohexylamine and dicyclohexylamine; aromatic monoamines such as aniline, toluidine, diphenylamine, and naphthylamine; and mixtures thereof. Among these, at least one selected from butylamine, hexylamine, octylamine, decylamine, stearylamine, cyclohexylamine, and aniline is preferred from the viewpoints of reactivity, high boiling point, stability of the blocked terminal, and cost.
[0036] In the polyamide resin (A) according to the present embodiment, the combined content of the dicarboxylic acid units, diamine units, and end-capping agent units relative to 100 mol% of all monomer units is preferably 80 to 100 mol%, more preferably 85 to 100 mol%, even more preferably 95 to 100 mol%, and still more preferably 98 to 100 mol%, from the viewpoint of heat resistance.
[0037] (Polyamide resin (A) content) The content of the polyamide resin (A) in the long part according to this embodiment is 30 to 60 mass %. When the content of polyamide resin (A) in the long part is 30 mass% or more, the resin composition (composition containing polyamide resin (A), glass fiber (B), and halogen-free flame retardant (C)) has good fluidity when producing the long part. When the resin composition has good fluidity, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defective products caused by insufficient filling when producing a large number of long parts at once by injection molding or the like. Furthermore, by making the content of polyamide resin (A) in the long part 60% by mass or less, it is possible to obtain a long part having excellent mechanical strength, and also to suppress changes in shape and dimension of the long part after production, thereby obtaining a long part having excellent dimensional stability. The content of polyamide resin (A) in the long part is preferably 35% by mass or more, more preferably 38% by mass or more, and even more preferably 40% by mass or more from the viewpoint of fluidity of the resin composition, and is preferably 57% by mass or less, more preferably 55% by mass or less, and even more preferably 53% by mass or less from the viewpoint of suppressing shape and dimensional changes after production and obtaining a long part with excellent dimensional stability. That is, the content of polyamide resin (A) in the long part is preferably 35 to 57% by mass, more preferably 38 to 55% by mass, and even more preferably 40 to 53% by mass.
[0038] (Melting point of polyamide resin (A)) The melting point of the polyamide resin (A) according to the present embodiment is preferably 270°C or higher, more preferably 280°C or higher, even more preferably 290°C or higher, and even more preferably 300°C or higher, from the viewpoint of obtaining long parts with excellent heat resistance, and may be 350°C or lower or 330°C or lower from the viewpoint of moldability. When long components are used as electronic components, the higher the melting point of the polyamide resin (A), the less likely blisters will occur during the reflow process performed to attach the long components to an electronic substrate. The reflow process is usually performed at 260°C or higher, and the greater the difference between the temperature of the reflow process and the melting point of the polyamide resin (A), the more likely it is that thermal deformation of the long components will be suppressed, making blisters less likely to occur, which is preferable.
[0039] (Method for producing polyamide resin (A)) The polyamide resin (A) can be produced by any known method for producing polyamide resins, such as a solution polymerization method or an interfacial polymerization method using dicarboxylic acid and diamine in the form of acid chloride as raw materials, a melt polymerization method, a solid-state polymerization method, or a melt extrusion polymerization method using dicarboxylic acid and diamine as raw materials.
[0040] Catalysts that can be used in producing the polyamide resin (A) include, for example, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hypophosphorous acid, and salts or esters thereof. Examples of the salts or esters include salts of phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, or hypophosphorous acid with metals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, vanadium, calcium, zinc, cobalt, manganese, tin, tungsten, germanium, titanium, and antimony; ammonium salts of phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, or hypophosphorous acid; and ethyl esters, isopropyl esters, butyl esters, hexyl esters, isodecyl esters, octadecyl esters, decyl esters, stearyl esters, and phenyl esters of phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, or hypophosphorous acid. Among these, sodium hypophosphite monohydrate and phosphorous acid are preferred.
[0041] <Glass fiber (B)> The long part according to this embodiment contains glass fibers (B), and the content of the glass fibers (B) in the long part is 35 to 55 mass %. The glass fiber (B) according to this embodiment is not particularly limited, and known glass fibers can be used as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The glass fiber (B) may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
[0042] The glass fiber (B) according to this embodiment may contain at least one surface treatment agent selected from the group consisting of coupling agents and sizing agents. Examples of the coupling agent include silane coupling agents and titanium coupling agents, such as γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Examples of sizing agents include urethane resin-based sizing agents, acrylic resin-based sizing agents, epoxy resin-based sizing agents, and acid anhydride group-containing resin-based sizing agents. However, when a urethane resin-based sizing agent, an acrylic resin-based sizing agent, or an epoxy resin-based sizing agent contains an acid anhydride group, it is considered to belong to the category of acid anhydride group-containing resin-based sizing agents. An acid anhydride group-containing resin-based sizing agent is composed of a resin containing at least an acid anhydride group, and is preferably composed of a copolymer containing an acid anhydride group.
[0043] The content of the glass fiber (B) in the long part according to this embodiment is 35 to 55 mass %. By making the content of glass fiber (B) in the long part 35% by mass or more, it is possible to obtain a long part having excellent mechanical strength, and also to suppress changes in shape and dimension of the long part after production, thereby obtaining a long part having excellent dimensional stability. Furthermore, by setting the content of glass fiber (B) in the long part to 55 mass% or less, the flowability of the resin composition (a composition containing polyamide resin (A), glass fiber (B), and halogen-free flame retardant (C)) during production is improved.

[Example]
[0071] The present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these.
[0072] Measurements and evaluations in the Production Examples, Examples, and Comparative Examples were carried out according to the methods shown below.
[0073] Melting point The melting point of the polyamide resin (A) obtained in the production examples was measured in accordance with ISO 11357-3 (2011, 2nd edition) using a differential scanning calorimeter "DSC7020" manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation. Specifically, in a nitrogen atmosphere, a sample (polyamide resin (A)) was heated from 30°C to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min, held at 300°C for 5 minutes to completely melt the sample, then cooled to 50°C at a rate of 10°C / min and held at 50°C for 5 minutes. The peak temperature of the melting peak that appeared when the sample was again heated to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min was taken as the melting point (°C). If there were multiple melting peaks, the peak temperature of the highest melting peak was taken as the melting point (°C).
[0074] Mechanical strength A jig was hooked onto the end (latch portion) of the long part obtained in the examples and comparative examples (see Figure 2, one jig was hooked onto one location on the long part), and the jig was pulled upward at a speed of 25 mm / min (tensile test). Note that the jig was pulled in the direction of the arrow in Figure 2(a). At this time, the strength required for the long part to break (mechanical strength of the end of the long part) was measured, and this was taken as the mechanical strength of the long part.
[0075] Warpage (dimensional stability) The long parts obtained in the examples and comparative examples were left standing in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 23°C and 50% RH for 24 hours, and then the amount of warping (dimensional change) of the long parts was measured. Specifically, the long part shown in Figure 1(a) was placed on the surface of a horizontal glass plate so that at least a portion of the bottom surface of the long part was in contact with the surface, and the distance from the surface of the glass plate to the bottom surface of the long part was measured with a dial gauge. The longest distance among the measured distances was taken as the amount of warping. It can be said that the smaller the amount of warpage, the better the dimensional stability of the long part.
[0076] Flame retardant (Preparation of test specimens for flame retardancy evaluation) Using an injection molding machine "UH-1000" (clamping force: 80 tons, screw diameter: φ26 mm) manufactured by Nissei Plastic Industrial Co., Ltd., the pellet-shaped resin compositions obtained in the Examples or Comparative Examples were injection molded using a T-runner mold under conditions of a cylinder temperature 20 to 30°C higher than the melting point of the polyamide resin (A) and a mold temperature of 140°C, to obtain molded articles having a thickness of 0.40 mm, a width of 13 mm, and a length of 125 mm. The obtained molded articles were polished on both sides to a thickness of 0.2 mm to prepare test specimens for evaluating flame retardancy.
[0077] (Flame retardancy test according to UL94 standard) The upper end of the test specimen was clamped to hold it vertically, and a specified flame (a blue flame 20±1 mm high) was applied to the lower end for 10 seconds, then released, and the burning time of the test specimen (first time) was measured. Immediately after the flame was extinguished, the specified flame was again applied to the lower end for 10 seconds, then released, and the burning time of the test specimen (second time) was measured. The same measurement was repeated for five specimens, obtaining a total of 10 data points: five for the first burning time and five for the second burning time. In addition, any molten material was visually confirmed during the flame exposure. From the obtained results, the flame retardancy was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria: In the following evaluation criteria, T represents the total value of 10 data points, and M represents the maximum value of the 10 data points. V-0: T was less than 50 seconds and M was less than 10 seconds, the flame did not reach the clamp, and the flaming molten material did not fall and ignite the dry cotton placed 12 inches below. V-1: T was 250 seconds or less and M was 30 seconds or less, and all other conditions were the same as V-0. V-2: T was less than 250 seconds and M was less than 30 seconds, the flame did not rise to the clamp, and the flaming molten material fell and ignited dry cotton set 12 inches below. Out of Judgment: The result was inferior to the above evaluation standard "V-2".
[0078] Manufacturing stability (fluidity) In Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, long parts were manufactured under the same conditions as above except that a mold capable of manufacturing four long parts at a time was used as the injection molding machine mold and the maximum filling pressure of the injection molding machine was set to 200 MPa, and the manufacturing stability was evaluated according to the following criteria. G: No defective products were produced due to insufficient filling of the resin composition into the mold (all four long parts obtained had the specified shape and no chipping or other defects were observed). NG: Defective products were produced due to insufficient filling of the resin composition into the mold (at least one of the four long parts obtained did not have a specific shape and had chips or other defects).

The internal temperature was raised to 200°C over 2 hours. The autoclave pressure was then increased to 2 MPa. The internal temperature was then maintained at 215°C, and the reaction was continued for 2 hours while gradually releasing water vapor to maintain the pressure at 2 MPa. The pressure was then reduced to 1.2 MPa over 30 minutes, yielding a prepolymer. This prepolymer was crushed to a size of 6 mm or less and dried at 120°C under reduced pressure for 12 hours. This was subjected to solid-state polymerization for 10 hours under conditions of a temperature of 230°C and a pressure of 13.3 Pa to obtain polyamide resin (A-1) (polyamide 9T). The melting point of the polyamide resin (A-1) was 306°C.

The internal temperature was raised to 200°C over 2 hours. The autoclave pressure was then raised to 2 MPa. The internal temperature was then maintained at 215°C, and the reaction was continued for 2 hours while gradually releasing water vapor to maintain the pressure at 2 MPa. The pressure was then reduced to 1.2 MPa over 30 minutes to obtain a prepolymer. This prepolymer was crushed to a size of 6 mm or less and dried at 120°C under reduced pressure for 12 hours. This was then solid-state polymerized for 10 hours at 230°C and a pressure of 13.3 Pa to obtain polyamide resin (A-2) (Polyamide 10T). The melting point of the polyamide resin (A-2) was 317°C.
[0081] <Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2> Polyamide resin (A), halogen-free flame retardant (C), metal soap (D), and fatty acid amide (E) were fed into the upstream hopper of a twin-screw extruder (twin-screw extruder "BTN-32" manufactured by Plastics Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., screw diameter φ30 mm, L / D=32, rotation speed 150 rpm, output rate 10 kg / h) in the proportions shown in Table 1, and glass fiber (B) in the amount shown in Table 1 was fed into the downstream side feed port. The mixture was melt-kneaded and extruded at a cylinder temperature of 320°C, followed by cooling and cutting to obtain a pellet-shaped resin composition. Next, using an injection molding machine "SE-100EVA" (mold clamping force: 100 tons, screw diameter: φ32 mm) manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., the obtained pelletized resin composition was molded into a long part having a shape as shown in Figure 1 under conditions of a cylinder temperature 20°C higher than the melting point of polyamide resin (A) and a mold temperature of 140°C. In Figure 1, the longest outer dimension X is 141 mm, Y is 16 mm, and the shortest outer dimension Z is 6 mm. The measurement and evaluation results for the resin composition and the long part are shown in Table 1.
