Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to resin compositions, pellets, and molded articles. In particular, it relates to resin compositions having polycarbonate resin as a main component. [Background technology]

[0002] Polycarbonate resin (PC resin) is a resin with excellent transparency, heat resistance, weather resistance, mechanical properties, and electrical properties, and is widely used in materials for automobiles, aircraft, electrical and electronic equipment, housing materials, medical devices, and other industrial fields. Traditionally, the development of polymer alloys by blending polycarbonate resin with other types of resins has been carried out in a wide range of fields with the aim of further improving the functionality and reducing the cost of materials. For example, in the automotive field, the development of alloys by blending polycarbonate resin with copolymers (styrene-based resins) that have polystyrene or styrene as structural units has been widely carried out and is actually used in automotive exterior materials such as front air dams, pillars, roof rails, spoilers, rear gate garnishes, and door mirror housings.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2017 / 078273 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2015-078284 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-147651 [Patent Document 4] International Publication No. 2021 / 039895 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] As mentioned above, styrene-based resins are often added to polycarbonate resins to improve their various properties. In particular, styrene-based resins are added to improve the moldability of polycarbonate resins. Here, it is conceivable to use a methacrylic copolymer containing styrene units and alkyl methacrylate units as the styrene-based resin. While the styrene units in a methacrylic copolymer containing styrene units and alkyl methacrylate units improve the compatibility with polycarbonate resin, the impact resistance is not sufficient. Furthermore, in molded articles formed from a resin composition containing a polycarbonate resin as described above and a methacrylic copolymer containing styrene units and alkyl methacrylate units, it is sometimes required to improve the weather resistance of the molded article. The present invention aims to solve these problems and to provide a resin composition, pellets, and molded articles that can provide molded articles with excellent impact resistance and weather resistance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] Based on the above problems, the inventors conducted research and found that the above problems can be solved by combining a polycarbonate resin with a methacrylic copolymer containing styrene units and alkyl methacrylate units, along with a predetermined acrylic copolymer, an ultraviolet absorber, and a hindered amine-based light stabilizer. Specifically, the above problem was solved by the following means. <1> A resin composition comprising 100 parts by mass of a total of polycarbonate resin (A) and methacrylic copolymer (B), 1 to 10 parts by mass of acrylic copolymer (C), 0.1 to 1.0 parts by mass of ultraviolet absorber (D), and 0.1 to 1.0 parts by mass of hindered amine-based light stabilizer (E), wherein the methacrylic copolymer (B) contains styrene units and alkyl methacrylate units, and the acrylic copolymer (C) contains alkyl methacrylate units and alkyl acrylate units. <2>The resin composition according to <1>, wherein the number average molecular weight of the hindered amine light stabilizer (E) is 1000 or more. <3>The resin composition according to <1> or <2>, wherein the hindered amine light stabilizer (E) contains an NR-type hindered amine light stabilizer represented by the formula (HALS-1).

Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve the effect of maintaining the moisture heat resistance and heat retention stability of the resin composition. The resin composition of this embodiment may contain only one type of hindered amine-based light stabilizer (E), or it may contain two or more types. When two or more types are included, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.

Setting it below the upper limit tends to further improve the balance between the amount of photodegraded products (radicals) generated from the ultraviolet absorber (D) during ultraviolet irradiation and the amount of radicals absorbed by the hindered amine light stabilizer (E). The lower limit of (D) / (E) is preferably 0.1 or more, more preferably 0.2 or more, even more preferably 0.3 or more, and even more preferably 0.4 or more. Setting it above the lower limit tends to further improve the effect of maintaining the radical absorption by the hindered amine light stabilizer (E). In this embodiment, it is particularly preferable that the content of the ultraviolet absorber (D) is 0.2 to 1.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total of the polycarbonate resin (A) and the methacrylic copolymer (B), and that the mass ratio of the ultraviolet absorber (D) to the hindered amine-based light stabilizer (E), (D) / (E), is 1.2 or less. Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the hindered amine-based light stabilizer (E) has a number average molecular weight of 1000 or more and includes an NR-type hindered amine-based light stabilizer represented by formula (HALS-1). With such a configuration, the effects of the present invention tend to be exhibited more effectively.

The upper limit of the retention rate is ideally 100%, but 99% or less is practical. Such high impact resistance after humid heat treatment is achieved by using a hindered amine light stabilizer (E) with a number average molecular weight of 1000 or more, or more specifically, an NR-type hindered amine light stabilizer with a number average molecular weight of 1000 or more and represented by the above formula (HALS-1).
