Description

resin composition

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition that is environmentally friendly and has excellent formability and processability.

[0002] Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is colorless and transparent, has excellent strength, and its properties can be easily adjusted depending on the type of additives mixed in during processing, making it widely used in various industries. For example, by adding a certain amount of plasticizer, a softening agent, to PVC, soft PVC can be produced, making it suitable for flexible products such as packaging films and shower curtains. By adding less than 10% by weight of plasticizer, rigid PVC can be produced, making it suitable for use in plumbing materials. Thus, PVC boasts excellent productivity and processability, as its softness and hardness can be easily controlled simply by adjusting the plasticizer content, without the need for additional processing.

[0003] However, the plasticizers used to control the softness and hardness of PVC can reduce its moldability and processability. Specifically, the large amount of plasticizer used to achieve sufficient hardness can lead to migration (the movement or extraction of the liquid plasticizer from the product surface during the extrusion process), limiting its potential applications. Furthermore, PVC produces toxic dioxins when burned, making landfill disposal the only option. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop materials that can replace PVC while still offering superior moldability and processability, even when using plasticizers.

[0004] Meanwhile, polyester boasts excellent mechanical properties, such as durability and heat resistance, and optical properties, such as transparency. This makes it widely used as a raw material for fibers, films, packaging materials, molded products, building materials, interior and exterior finishes, and various industrial materials, such as display devices. Furthermore, polyester is more environmentally friendly than PVC, as it can be recycled through mechanical and chemical recycling methods. Furthermore, it boasts superior mechanical and optical properties, making it a promising alternative to PVC. However, controlling flexibility and rigidity remains challenging. Therefore, research into polyesters that can effectively control flexibility and rigidity continues.

[0005] For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 2013-0122746 discloses a copolyester resin capable of controlling softness or hardness by attaching soft segments or hard segments.

Since sufficient crystallinity can be secured when the heat of fusion of the polyester copolymer satisfies the above range, there is a more advantageous effect in terms of improving heat resistance, shape stability, and chemical resistance.

[0077]

[0078] Method for producing polyester copolymer

[0079] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method for producing a polyester copolymer comprises the steps of mixing a first dicarboxylic acid component comprising terephthalic acid or a derivative thereof, a second dicarboxylic acid component comprising cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, dimethyl cyclohexane dicarboxylate, or a derivative thereof, and a diol component comprising ethylene glycol or a derivative thereof; subjecting the mixture to an esterification reaction; and subjecting a product of the esterification reaction to a polycondensation reaction, wherein the polyester copolymer contains 30 mol% or more of the second dicarboxylic acid component based on the total dicarboxylic acid component.

[0080] A polyester copolymer manufactured according to the above method for manufacturing a polyester copolymer has substantially the same composition and properties as the polyester copolymer described above.

[0081] In addition, the polyester copolymer finally manufactured according to the method for manufacturing the polyester copolymer can have its composition and process conditions adjusted so as to satisfy the mechanical properties such as softness and elasticity described above, optical properties such as transparency and UV stability, and processability.

[0082]

[0083] First, a first dicarboxylic acid component including terephthalic acid or a derivative thereof, a second dicarboxylic acid component including cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, dimethyl cyclohexane dicarboxylate, or a derivative thereof, and a diol component including ethylene glycol or a derivative thereof are mixed.

[0084] The description of the first dicarboxylic acid component, the second dicarboxylic acid component, and the diol component is as described above. Specifically, the first dicarboxylic acid component, the second dicarboxylic acid component, and the diol component are mixed to produce a mixture.

[0085] According to another embodiment of the present invention, one or more additives selected from the group consisting of a coloring agent, a crystallizing agent, an oxidation stabilizer, and a branching agent may be additionally added to the mixture of the first dicarboxylic acid component, the second dicarboxylic acid component, and the diol component.

[0086] The above coloring agent is an additive for improving the color characteristics of the polyester copolymer. As long as the coloring agent does not impede the effects of the present invention, a commonly used coloring agent such as cobalt acetate or cobalt propionate can be used.

[0087] Specifically, the coloring agent may be cobalt acetate, cobalt propionate, anthraquionone-based compound, perinone-based compound, azo-based compound, methine-based compound, etc., and commercially available products include toners such as Clarient's Polysynthren Blue RLS or Clarient's Solvaperm Red BB.

[0088] In addition, the polyester copolymer may contain the coloring agent in an amount of 0.1 ppm to 30 ppm based on the total weight of the polyester copolymer. For example, the coloring agent may be added in an amount of 0.2 ppm to 30 ppm, 0.5 ppm to 25 ppm, 0.6 ppm to 23 ppm, or 0.8 ppm to 20 ppm based on the total weight of the mixture. By satisfying the content of the coloring agent in the above range, the color characteristics can be sufficiently improved without deteriorating the mechanical properties of the polyester copolymer.

[0089] The above oxidation stabilizer may include at least one selected from the group consisting of phosphorus-based, hindered phenol-based, phosphite-based, and thioether-based.

[0090] In addition, the polyester copolymer may contain the oxidation stabilizer in an amount of 50 ppm to 2,500 ppm based on the total weight of the polyester copolymer.

By satisfying the content of the oxidation stabilizer in the above range, not only can a decrease in intrinsic viscosity that may occur during subsequent processing or the like be effectively prevented, but also a decrease in physical properties such as impact strength can be prevented.

[0091] The above-mentioned branching agent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of trimellitic anhydride, trimellitic propane, trimellitic acid, and glycerol.

[0092] In addition, the polyester copolymer may contain the branching agent in an amount of 10 ppm to 5000 ppm based on the total weight of the polyester copolymer. For example, the branching agent may be added in an amount of 20 ppm to 4000 ppm or 30 ppm to 3000 ppm based on the total weight of the mixture. By satisfying the content of the branching agent within the above range, the intrinsic viscosity can be more effectively controlled within a specific range, thereby improving physical properties such as impact strength.

[0093]

[0094] Afterwards, the mixture is subjected to an esterification reaction.

[0095] Specifically, a mixture of the first dicarboxylic acid component, the second dicarboxylic acid component, and the diol component is subjected to an esterification reaction.

[0096] The above esterification reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure or 0.1 kg / cm compared to atmospheric pressure. 2 3.0 kg / cm 2 It can be performed for 2 to 12 hours under high pressure conditions and temperature conditions of 245°C to 275°C.

[0097] Specifically, the pressurized state is 0.1 kg / cm compared to normal pressure. 2 3.0 kg / cm 2 , 0.2 kg / cm 2 2.5 kg / cm 2 or 0.3 kg / cm 2 2.0 kg / cm 2 It can be as high as that. In addition, the esterification reaction can be performed at a temperature condition of 150°C to 275°C, 155°C to 275°C, or 160°C to 270°C for 2 to 12 hours, 2 to 11 hours, or 2.5 to 10 hours.

[0098] For example, the above esterification reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure or 0.1 kg / cm compared to atmospheric pressure.2 3.0 kg / cm 2 The temperature can be increased from room temperature to 150°C to 275°C or from 155°C to 270°C over 30 to 110 minutes or 30 to 100 minutes under high pressure, maintained for 0.5 to 3 hours or 0.5 to 2.5 hours, and then continuously or stepwise increased from room temperature to 150°C to 275°C or from 155°C to 270°C over 2 to 12 hours.

[0099] When the above esterification reaction is completed, the pressure of the pressurized reactor can be lowered to room temperature and the following polycondensation reaction can be performed.

[0100]

[0101] Finally, the product of the above esterification reaction is subjected to a polycondensation reaction.

[0102] The polycondensation reaction may be carried out under conditions of a pressure of 0.00001 mmHg to 400 mmHg and a temperature of 240°C to 300°C for 1 to 12 hours. For example, the polycondensation reaction may be carried out under conditions of a pressure of 0.00001 mmHg to 200 mmHg, 0.0001 mmHg to 100 mmHg, 0.001 mmHg to 50 mmHg, 0.002 mmHg to 10 mmHg, 0.005 mmHg to 3 mmHg, 0.01 mmHg to 1.5 mmHg, or 0.01 mmHg to 1.2 mmHg, and a temperature of 240°C to 300°C or 245°C to 295°C for 1 to 12 hours or 1 to 10 hours.

[0103] For example, the polycondensation reaction may be performed by reducing the pressure of the product of the esterification reaction to 4.0 mmHg to 6.0 mmHg or 4.5 mmHg to 5.5 mmHg over 20 to 40 minutes or 25 to 35 minutes, and then heating the product to 240°C to 300°C or 245°C to 295°C over 0.5 to 2 hours or 0.7 to 1.2 hours, and then maintaining the pressure of 0.01 mmHg to 400 mmHg.

[0104] At the beginning of the polycondensation reaction, the stirring speed is set to high, and as the polycondensation reaction progresses, the stirring force becomes weak due to the increase in the viscosity of the reactants, or the temperature of the reactants rises above the set temperature, the stirring speed can be appropriately adjusted accordingly.

[0105] The intrinsic viscosity (IV) of the melt produced by the polycondensation reaction may be 0.5 dl / g to 1.3 dl / g. For example, the polycondensation reaction may be performed until the intrinsic viscosity (IV) of the melt produced by the polycondensation reaction becomes 0.5 dl / g to 1.2 dl / g, or 0.6 dl / g to 1.15 dl / g.

[0106] Additionally, a catalyst and / or stabilizer may be additionally added in the esterification reaction and the polycondensation reaction.

[0107] For example, the esterification reaction catalyst may be a methylate of sodium or magnesium; an acetate, borate, fatty acid salt, or carbonate of Zn, Cd, Mn, Co, Ca, Ba, etc.; an oxide of metal Mg; an oxide of Pb, Zn, Sb, Ge, etc.

[0108] In addition, the polycondensation reaction catalyst may be, for example, a titanium-based catalyst such as tetraethyl titanate, acetyltripropyl titanate, tetrapropyl titanate, tetrabutyl titanate, polybutyl titanate, 2-ethylhexyl titanate, octylene glycol titanate, lactate titanate, triethanolamine titanate, acetyl acetonate titanate, ethyl acetoacetic ester titanate, isostearyl titanate, titanium dioxide, titanium dioxide / silicon dioxide copolymer, titanium dioxide / zirconium dioxide copolymer, etc.; a germanium-based catalyst such as germanium dioxide and copolymers using the same; or a tin-based catalyst such as monobutyl tin oxide, dibutyl tin oxide, monobutyl hydroxy tin oxide, etc.

[0109] Additionally, the stabilizer may be a phosphorus compound such as phosphoric acid, trimethyl phosphate, or triethyl phosphate, but is not limited thereto.

[0110] The stabilizer may be added in an amount of 10 ppm to 2,500 ppm based on the total weight of the polycondensation reactant. For example, the stabilizer may be added in an amount of 150 ppm to 2,300 ppm, 200 ppm to 2,000 ppm, 300 ppm to 1,500 ppm, 50 ppm to 400 ppm, 70 ppm to 350 ppm, or 100 ppm to 300 ppm based on the total weight of the polycondensation reactant.

[0111] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the method for producing the polyester copolymer may include a melt blending step.

[0112] Specifically, after the polycondensation reaction, an elastomer or resin may be added and melt blended. More specifically, after the polycondensation reaction, the vacuum may be broken using nitrogen gas, and then an elastomer or resin may be additionally added and melt blended.

[0113] As a specific example, the elastomer introduced in the melt blending step may be at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride elastomers, polyolefin elastomers, polyurethane elastomers, polyester elastomers, polyamide elastomers, and polybutadiene elastomers, and the resin may be at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, and glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate.

[0114] Additionally, the melt blending step may be performed at 250°C to 290°C, 255°C to 285°C, or 260°C to 280°C for 1 minute to 60 minutes, 2 minutes to 40 minutes, 2 minutes to 20 minutes, or 3 minutes to 10 minutes.

[0115] By performing the above melt blending step, there is an advantageous effect in terms of improving heat resistance, shape stability, and chemical resistance due to imparting crystallinity.

[0116]

[0117] Method for producing a resin composition

[0118] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a resin composition can be prepared by mixing a polyester copolymer and a plasticizer.

[0119] As a specific example, a polyester copolymer and a plasticizer are mixed to prepare a primary composition, and the primary composition is automatically metered and fed into a hopper of a twin-screw extruder (40 mm Extruder, L / D: 40), and then volatile gas is depressurized and removed, and a pellet-shaped resin is prepared using a chip cutter.

[0120]

[0121] molded products

[0122] A molded article according to another embodiment of the present invention is manufactured by molding the resin composition.

[0123] For example, the molded product may be manufactured by extruding or kneading the resin composition, and may be molded through calendaring, extrusion, or injection, but is not limited thereto.

[0124] The above-mentioned molded article may be in the form of a sheet, film, or fiber. For example, the above-mentioned molded article may be, but is not limited to, various food / beverage containers, packaging materials, sheets for soundproofing or sound-absorbing materials, tarpaulin, silk wallpaper, artificial leather, wrap, medical devices, decorative sheets, filament for 3D printers, or films such as decorative films or mulching films. In addition, the above-mentioned resin composition may also be used as a binder for fibers, a coating agent, an adhesive, etc.

[0125] The above contents are explained in more detail with the following examples. However, the following examples are only intended to illustrate the present invention, and the scope of the examples is not limited to these examples.

At this time, G / A (total diol / total diacid, molar ratio of the diol component to the dicarboxylic acid or its derivative component) was 2.0.

[0132] Afterwards, 0.853 g of tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) as a catalyst, 0.235 g of phosphoric acid as a stabilizer, and 1.47 g of trimellitic anhydride as a branching agent were added and stirred.

Afterwards, the esterification reaction was carried out at 245°C for 0.5 hours. During this process, by-products were discharged through the column and condenser. When the esterification reaction was completed, the nitrogen inside the pressurized reactor was purged to the outside to lower the pressure of the reactor to ambient pressure, and the product of the esterification reaction inside the reactor was transferred to a 7 L reactor capable of vacuum reaction.

Then, the pressure of the reactor was maintained at 1.0 Torr (absolute pressure: 1.0 mmHg) or less to perform the polycondensation reaction. At this time, the stirring speed was set to be fast in the early stage of the polycondensation reaction, but as the polycondensation reaction progressed, if the stirring force weakened due to the increase in the viscosity of the reactants or the temperature of the reactants rose above the set temperature, the stirring speed was appropriately adjusted accordingly. The polycondensation reaction was performed until the intrinsic viscosity (IV) of the mixture (melt) in the reactor became 0.8 dl / g or more. After the above polycondensation reaction was completed, the vacuum was broken using nitrogen gas, 750 g of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) was added, melt blended at 270°C for 10 minutes, the mixture was discharged outside the reactor, solidified with a cooling liquid, and then granulated to an average weight of about 10 mg to 20 mg to produce a polyester copolymer.

[0164]

[0165] [Experimental Example]

[0166] Experimental Example 1: Strand compatibility after extrusion

[0167] The compatibility was evaluated based on the state of the strand coming out of the extruder when manufacturing pellets using the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 13, Comparative Examples 4 and 5. If the surface of the strand was smooth and there was no problem with the process, and thus there was no problem with pellet formation, it was marked with ○, and if the surface of the strand was rough or pellet formation was difficult through the process, it was marked with X. Since no plasticizer was used in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the compatibility of the strand after extrusion was not evaluated.

[0168]

[0169] Experimental Example 2: Plasticizer Migration

[0170] Flat specimens having a thickness of 1 mm were prepared using the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 13, Comparative Examples 4 and 5, and a polyimide film was placed between the specimens. It was then confirmed whether migration, in which a liquid plasticizer moved or was extracted, occurred on the surface of the film. If migration of the plasticizer occurred on the surface of the film, it was marked with ○, and if migration of the plasticizer did not occur on the surface of the film, it was marked with X. Since no plasticizer was used in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, plasticizer migration was not evaluated.

[0171]

[0172] Experimental Example 3: Shore A Hardness

[0173] Flat specimens having a thickness of 1 mm were prepared using the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5. Six identical specimens were placed overlapping each other, and then the Shore A hardness was measured according to ASTM D2240.

[0180]

[0181] As shown in Tables 5 to 7 above, the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 13 were able to form pellets with smooth surfaces of extruded strands and without any process problems, and the Shore A hardness of the specimens manufactured using the resin compositions was less than 95, and no liquid-like plasticizer migration occurred on the surface of the specimens.

[0182] On the other hand, Comparative Examples 1 to 5 had Shore A hardnesses of 95 or higher. In particular, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 had rough surfaces of extruded strands, and the physical properties were not sufficient to allow the process of manufacturing pellets to be performed without problems, making it difficult to form pellets. In addition, migration of a liquid-like plasticizer also occurred on the surface manufactured using the strands.
