Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition. [Background technology]
[0002] Resin molded articles containing polypropylene, etc., are used as automobile parts such as bumpers. In such applications, the resin molded articles are generally painted, but because polypropylene molded articles have low paint film adhesion, it has been common to apply a primer to the resin molded articles before forming a paint film in order to improve paint film adhesion (see, for example, Patent Document 1). If the process of using primer can be omitted, it will not only reduce costs but also contribute to reducing VOCs and energy consumption, so there is a demand for paint components that can form good coatings without using primer.

That is, the resin composition of the present invention contains, as essential components, predetermined amounts of (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene and (C) ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, and may further contain, as an optional component, a predetermined amount or less of (B) polypropylene (excluding that which corresponds to (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene). Therefore, the resin composition of the present invention may consist only of (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene and (C) ethylene-α-olefin copolymer (and (B) polypropylene, if present) as essential components, or it may contain other components in addition to (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene and (C) ethylene-α-olefin copolymer (and (B) polypropylene, if present). Each of the above components will be explained below.
[0010] (A) Hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene The hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene (A) constituting the resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer whose main chain is mainly composed of structural units derived from propylene and has at least one hydroxyl group. Here, "whose main chain is mainly composed of structural units derived from propylene" means that the main chain contains more than 50% by mass and not more than 100% by mass of structural units derived from propylene. There are no particular restrictions on the molecular weight or viscosity of (A) the hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene, but the intrinsic viscosity [η] measured in decalin at 135°C is preferably 0.8 to 2.0 dl / g, more preferably 0.8 to 1.8 dl / g, and even more preferably 0.9 to 1.5 dl / g. There are no particular limitations on the melting point of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene, but the melting point as detected by a differential scanning calorimeter is preferably 150 to 168°C, more preferably 152 to 167°C. An intrinsic viscosity [η] measured in decalin at 135°C of 0.8 dL / g or more is preferable from the viewpoint of impact resistance, etc., and an intrinsic viscosity [η] of 2.0 dL / g or less is preferable from the viewpoint of realizing good fluidity and excellent moldability, etc. Furthermore, it is preferable that the melting point as detected by a differential scanning calorimeter is 150° C. or higher from the viewpoint of realizing high rigidity and heat-resistant rigidity.
[0011] While the method for producing (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene is not particularly limited, a preferred production method is a method of melt-kneading a mixture containing a polypropylene resin, such as (B) polypropylene described below, with a hydroxyl-containing monomer and an organic peroxide. The polypropylene resin used in the melt-kneading method is preferably an ultra-high molecular weight crystalline polypropylene resin having a melting point measured by a differential scanning calorimeter of preferably 150 to 168°C and an intrinsic viscosity [η] measured in decalin at 135°C of preferably 5 to 15 dL / g, more preferably 5.5 to 12 dL / g. The amounts of the hydroxyl-containing monomer and organic peroxide used are preferably in the range of 0.3 to 10 parts by weight of the hydroxyl-containing monomer and 0.001 to 10 parts by weight of the organic peroxide per 100 parts by weight of the polypropylene resin.
[0012] Preferred examples of hydroxyl group-containing monomers used in the production of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene include (meth)acrylic acid esters such as 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, glycerin mono(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol mono(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane (meth)acrylate, tetramethylolethane mono(meth)acrylate, butanediol mono(meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate, and 2-(6-hydroxyhexanoyloxy)ethyl acrylate. "(Meth)acryl" means "acrylate" and / or "methacrylate."
[0013] Among the hydroxyl group-containing monomers, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate and 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate are preferred, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate is particularly preferred. The hydroxyl group-containing monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0014] As the organic peroxide, known organic peroxides can be used without any particular limitation. Specific examples of preferred organic peroxides include peroxyketals such as 1,1-bis(tert-butylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, 1,1-bis(tert-butylperoxy)cyclohexane, 2,2-bis(tert-butylperoxy)octane, n-butyl-4,4-bis(tert-butylperoxy)valerate, and 2,2-bis(tert-butylperoxy)butane; di-tert-butyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, tert-butylcumyl peroxide, α, Dialkyl peroxides such as α'-bis(tert-butylperoxy)diisopropylbenzene, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexane, and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexyne-3; acetyl peroxide, isobutyl peroxide, octanoyl peroxide, decanoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, 2,5-dichlorobenzoyl peroxide, m -Diacyl peroxides such as trioyl peroxide; tert-butyl peroxyacetate, tert-butyl peroxyisobutyrate, tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate, tert-butyl peroxylaurate, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, di-tert-butyl peroxyisophthalate, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(benzoylperoxy)hexane, tert-butyl peroxymaleic acid, tert-butyl peroxyisopropyl carbonate peroxyesters such as di(2-ethylhexyl)peroxydicarbonate and di(3-methyl-3-methoxybutyl)peroxydicarbonate; and hydroperoxides such as tert-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-dihydroperoxide, and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl hydroperoxide.Among these, benzoyl peroxide, m-trioyl peroxide, tert-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, dicumyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexane, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0015] The hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene (A) can be produced by various known methods for mixing resins together or resins with solid or liquid additives. A preferred example is a method in which all or some of the components are combined and mixed separately using a Henschel mixer, ribbon blender, blender, or the like to form a uniform mixture, followed by kneading the resulting mixture. Kneading can be performed using a wide variety of conventional kneading methods, such as a Banbury mixer, a plastomill, a Brabender plastograph, or a single- or twin-screw extruder. The temperature during kneading in the kneader (e.g., the cylinder temperature in the case of an extruder) is, for example, 100 to 300°C, preferably 160 to 250°C. A temperature of 100°C or higher improves the grafting amount, while a temperature of 300°C or lower effectively suppresses decomposition of the resin, etc. The kneading time is typically 0.1 to 30 minutes, preferably 0.5 to 5 minutes. A kneading time of 0.1 minutes or more allows a sufficient amount of grafting to be obtained, and a kneading time of 30 minutes or less allows decomposition of the resin to be effectively suppressed.
[0016] There are no particular restrictions on the graft modification rate of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene, but from the standpoint of achieving excellent coating film adhesion, it is preferably 0.5% or more, and particularly preferably 0.7% or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing decomposition of polypropylene, the graft modification rate of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene is preferably 3.0% or less, and particularly preferably 2.0% or less. The graft modification rate is defined by the following formula: Graft modification rate (%) = 100 × (mass of grafted chains) / (mass of base material) In the case of (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene, the "mass of graft chains" in the formula is the total mass of side chains containing hydroxyl groups, and when (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene is produced by the above-mentioned production method, it is the total mass of the hydroxyl-containing monomers used in the production method that are grafted to the main chain (when substantially all of the hydroxyl-containing monomers are grafted to the main chain, it is the total mass of the hydroxyl-containing monomers used in the production method). Similarly, in the case of (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene, the "mass of base material" in the formula is the mass of the polypropylene main chain, and when (A) hydroxyl-containing polypropylene is produced by the above-mentioned production method, it is the total mass of the polypropylene resin used in the production method. The graft modification rate of (A) the hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene can be measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement. The graft modification rate of (A) the hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene can be appropriately adjusted by selecting and adjusting the amounts of the hydroxyl group-containing monomer and organic peroxide used, the conditions of the graft modification step such as kneading, and the like.
[0017] There are no particular limitations on the MFR of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene, but from the viewpoint of moldability and the like, the MFR measured at 230°C under a load of 2.16 kg is preferably 0.5 g / 10 min or more, more preferably 1 g / 10 min or more, and particularly preferably 5 g / 10 min or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of tensile strength, the MFR of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene measured at 230° C. under a load of 2.16 kg is preferably 1000 g / 10 min or less, and particularly preferably 500 g / 10 min or less. The MFR of (A) the hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene can be adjusted appropriately by selecting and adjusting the type and physical properties of the polypropylene used in its production, the conditions of the above-mentioned graft modification step, and the like.
[0018] The hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene (A) may contain various additives such as phenolic, sulfuric, or phosphorus-based antioxidants, lubricants, antistatic agents, dispersants, copper inhibitors, neutralizing agents, foaming agents, plasticizers, anti-foaming agents, flame retardants, crosslinking agents, flow improvers such as peroxides, ultraviolet absorbers, and light stabilizers.
[0019] (B) Polypropylene The (B) polypropylene (excluding those falling under the category of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene) preferably used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the main chain is composed mainly of structural units derived from propylene and is a polymer that does not fall under the category of (A) hydroxyl group-containing polypropylene. Therefore, (B) polypropylene is a polymer whose main chain is composed mainly of structural units derived from propylene and does not contain hydroxyl groups. Here, "the main chain is composed mainly of structural units derived from propylene" means that the main chain is composed of more than 50% by mass and not more than 100% by mass of structural units derived from propylene. The polypropylene (B) preferably contained in the resin composition of the present invention (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as component (B)) is a propylene (co)polymer having more than 50 mass % and not more than 100 mass % of structural units derived from propylene, as described above.

The proportion of structural units derived from propylene, the proportion of structural units derived from ethylene, and the proportion of structural units derived from at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of α-olefins having 4 or more carbon atoms in (B) polypropylene can be determined by infrared spectroscopy. More specifically, the infrared absorption spectrum of (B) polypropylene is measured using an infrared spectrophotometer, and the measurements can be performed according to the method described in "Characterization of Polyethylene by Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy (Takayama, Usami et al.)" or "Die Makromolekulare Chemie, 177, 461 (1976) (McRae, MA, Madam S, WF et al.)."
