[0001] The present invention relates to a polypropylene resin composition and a molded article manufactured therefrom. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polypropylene resin composition using recycled polypropylene resin, which is environmentally friendly, exhibits excellent impact resistance, rigidity, and appearance properties, and reduces odor-causing components and volatile organic compounds, and to a molded article manufactured therefrom.

[0002]

[0003] Polypropylene resin has excellent chemical resistance, weather resistance, and processability, making it easy to manufacture into injection molded products, films, and blow molded products. It is a widely used material in fields such as electrical components, automobiles, and building materials.

[0004] In response to environmental issues such as carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, there is a growing demand for the development of recycled plastics that recycle used thermoplastic resins such as polypropylene resin.

[0005] However, recycled plastics are subject to long-term, everyday use, oxidation, and repeated thermal processing, resulting in deterioration of mechanical properties compared to conventional plastic materials (thermoplastic resin compositions). Furthermore, during the oxidation, reprocessing, and multiple extrusion processes of recycled plastics, low-molecular-weight substances and polar substances remain in the product, which can act as volatile substances and odor-causing ingredients, leading to off-flavor and color changes in the final product.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to develop a polypropylene resin composition that is environmentally friendly using recycled polypropylene resin, has excellent impact resistance, rigidity, and appearance characteristics even when using recycled polypropylene resin, and can reduce odor-causing components and volatile organic compounds.

[0030]

[0031] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

[0032] A polypropylene resin composition according to the present invention comprises (A) a polypropylene resin; (B) a recycled polypropylene resin; (C) a maleic anhydride modified polypropylene; (D) glass fiber; (E) a zeolite; and (F) magnesium silicate.

[0033] In this specification, “a to b” indicating a numerical range is defined as “≥a and ≤b”.

[0034]

[0035] (A) Polypropylene resin

[0036] According to one specific example of the present invention, a polypropylene resin can be applied together with maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene, glass fiber, two or three types of zeolites, and magnesium silicate to improve the eco-friendliness, impact resistance, rigidity, appearance characteristics, etc. of a polypropylene resin composition, and reduce odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds, even when applying a recycled polypropylene resin to impart eco-friendliness, and a polypropylene resin (new material) applied to a typical thermoplastic resin composition can be used.

[0037] In a specific example, the polypropylene resin may include at least one of a homopolypropylene resin, a block polypropylene resin, and a random polypropylene resin. Here, the block polypropylene resin may be a block polypropylene resin composed of a homopolypropylene block and an ethylene-propylene copolymer block and / or a homopolyethylene block, and the random polypropylene resin may be a propylene-ethylene random copolymer.

[0038] In a specific example, the polypropylene resin may have a melt-flow index (MI) of about 10 to about 1,500 g / 10 min, for example, about 15 to about 1,400 g / 10 min, measured under conditions of 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg according to ASTM D1238. Within this range, the mechanical properties, moldability, impregnation properties, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition may be excellent.

[0039] In a specific example, the polypropylene resin may be included in an amount of about 45 to about 75 wt%, for example, about 50 to about 70 wt%, of 100 wt% of the base material composed of the polypropylene resin and the recycled polypropylene resin. If the content of the polypropylene resin is less than about 45 wt% of the base material, there is a concern that the impact resistance, rigidity, and volatile organic compound reduction effect of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 75 wt%, there is a concern that the environmental friendliness of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced.

[0040]

[0041] (B) Regenerated polypropylene resin

[0042] According to one specific example of the present invention, a recycled polypropylene resin is applied to a polypropylene resin composition as a recycled material to impart environmental friendliness, and is applied together with the polypropylene resin (new material), maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene, glass fiber, two or three types of zeolites and magnesium silicate, etc., to improve the environmental friendliness, impact resistance, rigidity, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition, and to reduce odor-causing components and volatile organic compounds. A conventional recycled polypropylene resin can be used.

[0043] In a specific example, the recycled polypropylene resin may have a melt-flow index (MI) of about 10 to about 150 g / 10 min, for example, about 20 to about 80 g / 10 min, measured under conditions of 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg according to ASTM D1238. Within this range, the polypropylene resin composition may have excellent rigidity, impact resistance, and the like.

[0044] In a specific example, the recycled polypropylene resin may be included in an amount of about 25 to about 55 wt%, for example, about 30 to about 50 wt%, of the polypropylene resin and 100 wt% of the base material made of the recycled polypropylene resin. If the content of the polypropylene resin is less than about 25 wt%, of the 100 wt% base material, there is a concern that the environmental friendliness of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 55 wt%, there is a concern that the impact resistance, rigidity, and volatile organic compound reduction effect of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced.

[0045]

[0046] (C) Maleic anhydride modified polypropylene

[0047] According to one specific example of the present invention, maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene can be applied to the polypropylene resin and the recycled polypropylene resin together with glass fiber, two or three types of zeolites, and magnesium silicate, thereby improving the eco-friendliness, impact resistance, rigidity, appearance characteristics, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition and reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds. Maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene obtained by (grafting) polymerizing maleic anhydride onto polypropylene can be used.

[0048] In a specific example, the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene may have a graft ratio of maleic anhydride of about 0.5 to about 5 wt%, for example, about 0.6 to about 2 wt%. Within this range, the rigidity, impact resistance, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition may be excellent.

[0049] In a specific example, the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene may have a melt-flow index of about 50 to about 200 g / 10 min, for example, about 70 to about 150 g / 10 min, measured under conditions of 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg according to ASTM D1238. Within this range, the polypropylene resin composition may have excellent rigidity, impact resistance, and the like.

[0050] In a specific example, the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene may be included in an amount of about 1 to about 10 parts by weight, for example, about 1 to about 8 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material. If the content of the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is less than about 1 part by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the polypropylene resin, there is a concern that the impact resistance, rigidity, impregnation property, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 10 parts by weight, there is a concern that the rigidity of the polypropylene resin composition, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components, etc. may be reduced.

[0051]

[0052] (D) Glass fiber

[0053] According to one specific example of the present invention, the glass fiber is applied to the polypropylene resin and the recycled polypropylene resin together with maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, two or three types of zeolites and magnesium silicate, etc., so as to improve the eco-friendliness, impact resistance, rigidity, appearance characteristics, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition, and to reduce odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds. Long glass fibers used in conventional thermoplastic resin compositions can be used.

[0054] In specific embodiments, the glass fibers may be in the form of fibers and may have various cross-sections such as circular, oval, rectangular, etc. For example, it may be preferable in terms of mechanical properties to use fibrous glass fibers having circular and / or rectangular cross-sections.

[0055] In a specific example, the glass fiber may have a cross-sectional diameter of about 5 to about 20 μm, for example, about 7 to about 15 μm, as measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Within this range, the impact resistance, rigidity, dimensional stability, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition may be excellent.

[0056] In a specific example, the glass fiber may be cut to have a length corresponding to the size of the thermoplastic resin composition (e.g., about 11 mm), depending on the shape (pellet, etc.) and size of the thermoplastic resin composition, and in a molded product processed therefrom, the length may vary depending on the type of the molded product, but may have an average length of about 2 mm.

[0057] In a specific example, the glass fiber may be treated with a conventional surface treatment agent. The surface treatment agent may include, but is not limited to, a silane compound, a urethane compound, an epoxy compound, or the like.

[0058] In a specific example, the glass fiber may be included in an amount of about 30 to about 65 parts by weight, for example, about 40 to about 60 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material. If the content of the glass fiber is less than about 30 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material, there is a concern that the impact resistance, rigidity, and volatile organic compound reduction effect of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 65 parts by weight, there is a concern that the volatile organic compound reduction effect of the polypropylene resin composition, environmental friendliness, etc. may be reduced.

[0059]

[0060] (E) Zeolite

[0061] According to one specific example of the present invention, a zeolite is applied to the polypropylene resin and the recycled polypropylene resin together with maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, glass fiber, and magnesium silicate, thereby improving the eco-friendliness, impact resistance, rigidity, appearance characteristics, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition and reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds. A zeolite including two or more of zeolite 3A, zeolite 4A, and zeolite 5A can be used.

[0062] In general, zeolites are zeolite 4A (cation K) structures with a pore size of about 4 Å. + ) is synthesized, and the zeolite 4A is subjected to an ion substitution process to obtain zeolite 3A (cation Na) having a pore size of about 3 Å. + ), zeolite 5A (cation Ca) with a pore size of about 5 Å 2+) can be synthesized. For example, it is difficult for zeolite 4A, which has a pore size of about 4 Å, to adsorb low-molecular substances having a size of 4 Å or more, and considering the size of a wide range of odor-inducing substances, two or three types of zeolites having different pore sizes can be appropriately mixed and prescribed to achieve the optimal odor-inducing component and volatile organic compound reduction effect. When two types of zeolites are mixed, the content of each may be about 30 to about 70 wt%, and when three types of zeolites are mixed, the content of each may be about 20 to about 40 wt%, but is not limited thereto.

[0063] In a specific example, the zeolite may be included in an amount of about 1 to about 10 parts by weight, for example, about 3 to about 6 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material. If the content of the zeolite is less than about 1 part by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material, there is a concern that the rigidity of the polypropylene resin composition, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds, etc. may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 10 parts by weight, there is a concern that the appearance characteristics, lightness, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced.

[0064]

[0065] (F) Magnesium silicate

[0066] Magnesium silicate according to one specific example of the present invention can be applied to the polypropylene resin and the recycled polypropylene resin together with maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, glass fiber, and the two or three types of zeolites, etc., thereby improving the eco-friendliness, impact resistance, rigidity, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition and reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds. Magnesium silicate used in a typical thermoplastic resin composition can be used.

[0067] In a specific example, the magnesium silicate may have an average particle size of about 10 to about 40 μm, for example, about 13 to about 36 μm. Within this range, odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds of the polypropylene resin composition can be reduced. Here, the average particle size of the magnesium silicate was determined by obtaining a particle size distribution using a laser diffraction scattering method, and the particle diameter at 50% of the accumulated value was used as the average particle size.

[0068] In a specific example, the magnesium silicate may be included in an amount of about 0.5 to about 3 parts by weight, for example, about 1 to about 2.5 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material. If the content of the magnesium silicate is less than about 0.5 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material, there is a concern that the rigidity of the polypropylene resin composition, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds, etc. may be reduced, and if it exceeds about 3 parts by weight, there is a concern that the appearance characteristics, lightness, etc. of the polypropylene resin composition may be reduced.

[0069] In a specific example, the weight ratio of the zeolite and the magnesium silicate may be from about 1:0.2 to about 1:1, for example from about 1:0.2 to about 1:0.6. In this range, the mechanical properties, appearance characteristics, odor-inducing components, and volatile organic compounds reduction effects of the polypropylene resin composition may be more excellent.

[0070]

[0071] (G) Fragrance masterbatch

[0072] A polypropylene resin composition according to one specific embodiment of the present invention may further include a fragrance masterbatch to enhance the odor reduction effect. Examples of the fragrance masterbatch include, but are not limited to, commercially available baby powder, lavender, and mixtures thereof.

[0073] In a specific example, when using the fragrance masterbatch, the content may be about 0.1 to about 1 part by weight, for example, about 0.15 to about 0.25 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material. Within the above range, the odor reduction effect of the polypropylene resin composition can be improved without deteriorating other physical properties.

[0074]

[0075] A polypropylene resin composition according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include additives included in conventional thermoplastic resin compositions. Examples of such additives include, but are not limited to, antioxidants, impact modifiers, flame retardants, anti-drip agents, release agents, nucleating agents, UV stabilizers, pigments, dyes, and mixtures thereof.

[0076] In a specific example, when the additive is used, the content may be about 0.001 to about 40 parts by weight, for example, about 0.1 to about 10 parts by weight, based on about 100 parts by weight of the base material, but is not limited thereto.

[0079] In a specific example, the polypropylene resin composition may have a content of the recycled polypropylene resin of about 13 wt% or more based on 100 wt% of the total polypropylene resin composition. Within this range, the polypropylene resin composition can be made environmentally friendly, has excellent impact resistance, rigidity, and a balance of physical properties thereof, and can reduce odor-causing components and volatile organic compounds.

[0142] From the above results, it can be seen that the polypropylene resin composition of the present invention is environmentally friendly by using a recycled polypropylene resin in a certain amount or more (13 wt% or more of the total composition 100 wt%), and has excellent impact resistance (notched Izod impact strength, unnotched Charpy impact strength), rigidity (tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus), and appearance characteristics (evaluation of the number of fiber clumps in appearance). In addition, it can be seen that odor-causing components and volatile organic compounds can be reduced.

[0143] On the other hand, when the content of the polypropylene resin is less than the range of the present invention and the content of the recycled polypropylene resin exceeds the range of the present invention (Comparative Example 1), it can be seen that the impact resistance, rigidity, and the effect of reducing volatile organic compounds are reduced, and when the content of the polypropylene resin exceeds the range of the present invention and the content of the recycled polypropylene resin is less than the range of the present invention (Comparative Example 2), it can be seen that the content of the recycled polypropylene resin is 12.6 wt% of the total composition, which is not suitable for the present invention that aims at environmental friendliness. In the case of Comparative Example 3, where the content of maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is less than the range of the present invention, it can be seen that impact resistance, rigidity, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 4, where the content of maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is more than the range of the present invention, it can be seen that rigidity, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 5, where the content of glass fiber is less than the range of the present invention, it can be seen that impact resistance, rigidity, the effect of reducing volatile organic compounds, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 6, where the content of glass fiber is more than the range of the present invention, the effect of reducing volatile organic compounds, etc. are reduced.In the case of Comparative Example 7, where the content of zeolite is less than the range of the present invention, it can be seen that the stiffness, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 8, where the content of zeolite is more than the range of the present invention, it can be seen that the appearance characteristics, lightness, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 9, where the content of magnesium silicate is less than the range of the present invention, it can be seen that the stiffness, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 10, where the content of magnesium silicate is more than the range of the present invention, it can be seen that the appearance characteristics, lightness, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 11, where neither zeolite nor magnesium silicate was applied, it can be seen that the stiffness, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds, etc. are reduced, and in the case of Comparative Example 12, where only zeolite 3A was applied among zeolite and magnesium silicate, the stiffness, the effect of reducing odor-inducing components and volatile organic compounds, etc. are reduced. It can be seen that the reduction effect of odor-causing components and volatile organic compounds is reduced in Comparative Example 13, in which only zeolite 4A is applied among zeolite and magnesium silicate, and in Comparative Example 14, in which only zeolite 5A is applied among zeolite and magnesium silicate, it can be seen that the reduction effect of volatile organic compounds is reduced, and in Comparative Example 15, in which zeolite is not applied and magnesium silicate is applied in excess, it can be seen that the rigidity, the reduction effect of volatile organic compounds, etc. are reduced.
