Description

Crystalline polyester resin and articles containing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a crystalline polyester resin having a controlled degree of crystallization that is suitable for use in molding (processing) applications and has excellent recyclability, and an article comprising said crystalline polyester resin.

[0002] Polyester resin is manufactured by polymerizing dicarboxylic acid and diol components; because it does not contain substances harmful to the human body and is environmentally friendly, it is widely used in the manufacture of products such as films, partitions, panels, packaging materials, and containers.

[0003] In manufacturing the above-mentioned article, the polyester resin must possess good moldability (processability) to ensure the quality of the article. However, since polyester resins generally produced through pelletizing processes such as extrusion and underwater cutting contain moisture, there was a problem in that the quality of the article obtained through molding deteriorated because the degree of polymerization decreased due to hydrolysis reactions caused by the moisture when using such resins for the molding process.

[0004] Conventionally, before feeding the polyester resin into the molding process, a process was performed to dry the polyester resin to remove moisture contained in the polyester resin. However, since the surface of the polyester resin is mostly amorphous, another problem arises where the drying efficiency and productivity of the polyester resin are reduced as the resin fuses together or sticks to the inner wall of the dryer during the drying process.

[0005] Meanwhile, while the use of plastic containers makes daily life convenient, indiscriminate disposal and excessive use are causing serious environmental problems. Accordingly, various measures are being devised for the recycling of used plastic containers.

[0006] The recycling process for the aforementioned waste plastic containers can be divided into a physical recycling process involving washing and crushing, and a chemical recycling process involving depolymerization. However, the efficiency of the recycling process is reduced because a pretreatment step of separating waste plastics by type is required to carry out the above recycling process.

[0007] Specifically, a representative example of a waste plastic container is a PET bottle manufactured using polyethylene terephthalate resin, which is one of the polyester resins. In order to recycle the PET bottle after use, the plastic components constituting the waste PET bottle must be separated by type. This is because if the waste PET bottle is fed into the recycling process without separation due to differences in crystallinity among the plastic components constituting the waste PET bottle, fusion occurs between the plastic components, making the recycling process impossible.

[0008] Attempts are being made to solve the problem of fusion occurring during the drying process or the recycling process by controlling the crystallinity of the polyester resin. However, currently, there are limitations in optimizing the degree of crystallinity of the polyester resin.

[0009] In order to solve the aforementioned conventional problems, the inventors conducted various studies and confirmed that by controlling the heat of fusion (△H) at the crystallization temperature and melting temperature of the polyester resin, the degree of crystallization (crystallization) of the polyester resin is optimized, thereby obtaining a crystalline polyester resin that is recyclable and can be utilized for molding (processing) purposes.

[0010] Accordingly, the objective of the present invention is to provide a crystalline polyester resin having an optimized degree of crystallinity and an article comprising the same.

[0011] To solve the above problem, the present invention provides a crystalline polyester resin comprising a diol repeating unit derived from a diol component; and a dicarboxylic acid repeating unit derived from a dicarboxylic acid component, which satisfies the following Equation 1 when analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) after heating to 280 ℃ at a scan rate of 10 ℃ / min:

[0012] [Equation 1] 1 < (Y×Z) / X < 30

[0013] In the above Equation 1,

[0014] X is the sum of the heat of fusion (△H) of the melting temperature of the crystalline polyester resin that appeared at 200 ℃ or higher during the DSC analysis, Y is the sum of the heat of fusion (△H) of the melting temperature of the crystalline polyester resin that appeared at less than 200 ℃ during the DSC analysis, and Z is the crystallization temperature of the crystalline polyester resin.

[0015] In addition, the present invention provides a method for producing a crystalline polyester resin that satisfies Equation 1 when analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) after heating to 280°C at a scan rate of 10°C / min, comprising: (1) a step of producing a polyester resin by polymerizing a diol component and a dicarboxylic acid component; and (2) a step of crystallizing the polyester resin.

[0016] The present invention also provides an article manufactured from the crystalline polyester resin.

[0017] The present invention can provide a crystalline polyester resin with an optimally controlled degree of crystallization to the level required in molding (processing) and recycling processes. Accordingly, the crystalline polyester resin is suitable for use in extrusion molding or injection molding, and can contribute to providing high-quality articles (e.g., injection-molded articles or extrusion-molded articles). Furthermore, when articles are manufactured using the crystalline polyester resin, the manufactured articles have excellent recyclability, allowing the recycling process to be carried out efficiently without separate separation work, even if they contain other plastic components (e.g., PET).

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below. Hereinafter, the present invention is not limited to the contents described below, but can be modified in various forms as long as the essence of the invention is not altered.

[0019] In this specification, the use of the word “comprising” is intended to specify certain characteristics, regions, steps, processes, elements, and / or components, and unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude the presence or addition of other characteristics, regions, steps, processes, elements, and / or components.

[0020] In this specification, terms such as "first," "second," etc. are used to describe various components, and said components are not limited to said terms. These terms are used for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another.

[0021] All numbers and expressions indicating the amounts of components, reaction conditions, etc. described in this specification may be understood to be modified by the term "about" in all cases unless otherwise specified.

[0022]

[0023] If the polyester resin is not sufficiently crystallized, or conversely, if over-crystallization occurs, a problem of fusion occurs during the drying process of the polyester resin (e.g., polyester resin pellets) or during the recycling process of articles made from the polyester resin. For example, if the crystallization temperature rises due to over-crystallization, melting of the polyester resin (e.g., polyester resin pellets) occurs between the exothermic and endothermic temperatures, and the fusion rate of the polyester resin increases (sticking together between polyester resin pellets). In addition, to mold (process) a crystalline polyester resin, energy equivalent to the area of ​​the heat of fusion at the melting temperature is required; however, since the over-crystallized polyester resin has a significantly high heat of fusion, a large amount of energy is consumed in molding it, which reduces moldability (processability). Therefore, in order to improve the moldability of the crystalline polyester resin obtained through the crystallization process, it is very important to control the heat of fusion at the melting temperature along with the crystallization temperature of the crystalline polyester resin. In addition, to increase the recyclability of the polyester resin, it is required to optimize the crystallinity (degree of crystallization) of the polyester resin, and this can also be achieved by controlling the heat of fusion at the melting temperature of the polyester resin.

[0024] Based on these points, the present invention ensures the productivity, moldability (processability), and recyclability of the crystalline polyester resin by optimizing the degree of crystallization (crystallization) of the crystalline polyester resin obtained after crystallization, while preventing fusion between polyester resins during the crystallization process. To this end, the manufacturing (crystallization) process of the crystalline polyester resin is controlled by specifying the correlation between the crystallization temperature and the heat of fusion at the melting temperature of the crystalline polyester resin. The present invention is described in detail as follows.

[0025]

[0031] Y is the sum of the heat of fusion (△H) of the melting temperature of the crystalline polyester resin found at less than 200 ℃ during the above DSC analysis, and

[0032] Z is the crystallization temperature of the crystalline polyester resin.

[0033] When calculating the ratio (Y×Z) / X in Equation 1 above, only the numerical values ​​excluding the units of X, Y, and Z are applied.

[0034] The above crystalline polyester resin can have excellent moldability and recyclability as its degree of crystallization is optimized by satisfying Equation 1 based on a specific temperature of 200°C. The above 200°C may represent an approximate intermediate value between the crystallization temperature (Tc) and the melting temperature (Tm) of the crystalline polyester resin, and by applying this intermediate temperature, the degree of crystallization and the energy required during the molding process can be controlled to the required level.

As the "X / Y" value is controlled within the above range, the degree of crystallization is optimized, thereby providing a crystalline polyester resin with excellent moldability and recyclability.

[0042] In each of the above Equations 1 and 2, X is the sum of the heat of fusion (△H) at each melting temperature (△H) when the crystalline polyester resin is heated to 280 ℃ at a scan rate of 10 ℃ / min and analyzed by DSC, if one or more melting temperatures appear at 200 ℃ or higher. sum1 It may mean ).

The crystallization temperature (Z) may refer to the temperature at which irregular molecular chains present in the polyester resin are arranged in a certain direction to form a regularity and undergo crystallization. Specifically, the crystallization temperature (Z) may refer to the temperature at which the polyester resin is crystallized (heat treated) to ensure that the polyester resin obtained by esterification reaction (or ester exchange reaction) and condensation polypolymerization reaction of the polymerization raw materials has a desired degree of crystallization. As the crystallization temperature (Z) is within the above range, a crystalline polyester resin having a desired degree of crystallization can be obtained, thereby improving the moldability and recyclability of the crystalline polyester resin.

[0048] Meanwhile, the crystalline polyester resin according to the present invention comprises a diol repeating unit derived from a diol component. The above diol components are not particularly limited as long as they are commonly known diol components, but specifically include bis-2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate, isosorbide, neopentyl glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, cyclohexanedimethanol, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-methylene-1,3-propanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-isopropyl-1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 3-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, and 1,2-cyclohexanediol.

[0073] Y is the sum of the heat of fusion (△H) of the melting temperature of the crystalline polyester resin found at less than 200 ℃ during the above DSC analysis, and

[0074] Z is the crystallization temperature of the crystalline polyester resin.

[0075]

[0076] Step (1): Preparation of polyester resin

[0077] Step (1) above is a step of manufacturing a polyester resin (e.g., a polyester resin with an amorphous surface) by esterifying (or ester exchange) the diol component and the dicarboxylic acid component to obtain a reaction product (e.g., an oligomer), and then subjecting it to a condensation polymerization reaction. A detailed description of the diol component and the dicarboxylic acid component is omitted as it is the same as described above.

[0078] The conditions under which the above esterification reaction (or ester exchange reaction) is performed may not be particularly limited. Specifically, the temperature at which the above esterification reaction is performed may be 220 to 300 ℃, 225 to 290 ℃, 230 to 280 ℃, 235 to 275 ℃, 240 to 270 ℃, or 245 to 265 ℃. In addition, the pressure at which the above esterification reaction is performed may be 0.05 to 5 kgf / ㎠, 0.1 to 4 kgf / ㎠, 0.1 to 3 kgf / ㎠, 0.5 to 2.5 kgf / ㎠, or 1 to 2 kgf / ㎠. As the above esterification reaction is performed under the above conditions, a reaction product (oligomer) having a desired molecular weight can be obtained in high yield while minimizing the generation of by-products.

[0079] In the reactor where the above esterification reaction (or ester exchange reaction) takes place, one or more additives selected from the group consisting of catalysts, colorants, crystallizing agents, antioxidants, and branching agents may be further introduced along with the above diol component and the above dicarboxylic acid component.

[0080] The catalyst may be a methylate of sodium, magnesium, etc.; an acetate, borate, fatty acid salt, or carbonate of Ge, Zn, Cd, Mn, Co, Ca, Ba, etc.; or an oxide or hydrate of Ge, Mg, Pb, Mn, Ti, Sb, Sn, Al, etc. For example, the catalyst may be tetraethyl titanate, acetyltripropyl titanate, tetrapropyl titanate, tetrabutyl titanate, 2-ethylhexyl titanate, octylene glycol titanate, triethanolamine titanate, acetylacetonate titanate, ethylacetoacetic ester titanate, isostearyl titanate, titanium dioxide, germanium dioxide, germanium tetrachloride, germanium ethylene glycoside, germanium acetate, or a combination thereof.

[0081] The above-mentioned colorants may include organic compounds such as cobalt-based compounds, anthraquinone-based compounds, perinone-based compounds, azo-based compounds, and methine-based compounds (e.g., cobalt acetate, cobalt propionate, Clariant’s Polysynthren Blue RLS toner, Clariant’s Solvaperm Red BB toner).

[0082] The above crystallizing agent may include a crystallization nucleating agent, a UV absorber, a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin, etc.

[0083] The above antioxidants may include hindered phenolic compounds, phosphite compounds, thioether compounds, etc.

[0084] The above branching agent may be trimellitic acid, trimellitic anhydride, trimethylol propane, or a combination thereof.

[0085] The reactant obtained through the above esterification reaction (or ester exchange reaction) may subsequently be introduced into a polycondensation reactor to carry out a polycondensation reaction. The conditions under which the polycondensation reaction is performed may not be particularly limited. Specifically, the temperature at which the polycondensation reaction is performed may be 240 to 320 ℃, 245 to 310 ℃, 250 to 300 ℃, 255 to 295 ℃, or 265 to 290 ℃. In addition, the pressure at which the polycondensation reaction is performed may be a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure (e.g., 1 atmosphere) (reduced pressure). As the polycondensation reaction is performed under the above conditions, a polyester resin (polymer) with excellent moldability (processability) can be efficiently produced.

[0086] Subsequently, the polyester resin obtained through the above condensation reaction can be pelletized through processes such as extrusion and underwater cutting. That is, the polyester resin may be polyester resin pellets.

[0087]

[0088] The polyester resin (e.g., polyester resin pellets) obtained through such step (1) may undergo step (2) described later to obtain a desired degree of crystallization. Here, the polyester resin may undergo a drying process before undergoing step (2) described later. That is, the method for manufacturing a crystalline polyester resin according to the present invention may further include a step of drying the polyester resin obtained in step (1) between step (1) and step (2) in order to further optimize the degree of crystallization of the crystalline polyester resin while preventing fusion between the polyester resins.

[0089] The drying of the polyester resin can be carried out in a conventionally known dryer (e.g., a fluidized bed type dryer). The conditions under which the drying is performed are not particularly limited, but considering the drying efficiency and productivity of the polyester resin, the drying can be carried out at 40 to 90 ℃ (specifically, 40 to 85 ℃, 45 to 85 ℃, 50 to 80 ℃, or 50 to 70 ℃) for 3 to 12 hours (specifically, 4 to 12 hours, 6 to 11 hours, or 8 to 10 hours).

[0090]

[0091] Step (2): Preparation of crystalline polyester resin through crystallization

[0092] The above step (2) is a step of crystallizing the polyester resin obtained through the above step (1). Specifically, the crystallization of the polyester resin may be performed one or more times, two or more times, three or more times, or four or more times.

[0093] According to the present invention, the temperature at which the crystallization is performed is not particularly limited, but may be 140 to 200 ℃ (specifically, 145 to 195 ℃, 150 to 190 ℃, 155 to 185 ℃, or 160 to 180 ℃). As the crystallization is performed within the above temperature range, a crystalline polyester resin with an optimized degree of crystallization can be produced while minimizing fusion between polyester resins during the crystallization process.

[0094] The above crystallization can be performed under temperature conditions that increase in stages. Specifically, if the crystallization is carried out in a first and second stage, the second crystallization temperature (T2) may be higher than the first crystallization temperature (T1) (T1 <T2). 또한 상기 결정화가 1차 내지 3차에 걸쳐 이루어질 경우, 3차 결정화 온도(T3)는 2차 결정화 온도(T2)보다 높고, 2차 결정화 온도(T2)는 1차 결정화 온도(T1)보다 높을 수 있다(T1<T2<T3). 상기 결정화가 단계별로 상승하는 온도 조건으로 수행됨에 따라 결정화 과정에서 폴리에스테르 수지 간에 융착이 최소화되면서 결정화도가 최적화된 결정성 폴리에스테르 수지를 제조할 수 있다.

[0095] The above crystallization may be performed under atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure conditions, and a commonly known fluidizing agent may be added to the crystallization process to increase the fluidity of the polyester resin (polyester resin pellets).

[0096] The crystalline polyester resin produced through the crystallization of step (2) as described above may further undergo a commonly known solid-state polymerization process as necessary to control viscosity and molecular weight. Specifically, the method for producing a crystalline polyester resin according to the present invention may further include a step of solid-state polymerizing the polyester resin crystallized through step (2).

[0097] The conditions under which the solid-state polymerization is performed may not be particularly limited. Specifically, the temperature at which the solid-state polymerization is performed may be 170 to 260 ℃, 180 to 250 ℃, 185 to 245 ℃, 190 to 240 ℃, or 195 to 240 ℃. In addition, the pressure at which the solid-state polymerization is performed may be a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure (e.g., 1 atmosphere) (reduced pressure). As the solid-state polymerization is performed under the above conditions, a solid-state polymerized crystalline polyester resin having a required level of intrinsic viscosity can be efficiently produced.

[0098]

[0100] The article according to the present invention is manufactured from the crystalline polyester resin described above. Specifically, the article according to the present invention may be manufactured by introducing the crystalline polyester resin described above into a molding process such as injection molding, extrusion molding, extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, press molding, or vacuum molding. For example, the article may be an injection-molded article manufactured through injection molding or an extrusion-molded article manufactured through extrusion molding.
