Abstract

The invention relates to the use of copolycarbonates which are impact-resistant and resistant to tension cracking, with particularly good low temperature properties and high ageing stability, in applications where particularly good low temperature properties and/or high ageing stability is required, for example, in automobile construction and external applications and novel copolycarbonates themselves.

Description

Verwendung von CopolycarbonatenUse of copolycarbonates
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Verwendung spannungsrissbeständiger, schlagzäher Copolycarbonate mit besonders guten Tieftemperatureigenschaften und gute Alterungsstabilitat, für Anwendungen, in denen besonders gute Tieftemperatureigenschaften und/oder eine hohe Alterungsstabilitat gefragt sind, z.B. für den Automobilbau oder Außenanwendungen, sowie neue Copolycarbonate selbst.The present invention relates to the use of stress-crack-resistant, impact-resistant copolycarbonates with particularly good low-temperature properties and good aging stability, for applications in which particularly good low-temperature properties and / or high aging stability are required, e.g. for automotive or outdoor applications, as well as new copolycarbonates themselves.
Für den Automobilbau und andere Außenanwendungen werden seit langem möglichst chemikalienresistente und vorzugsweise transparente Polycarbonate gesucht, die einerseits tieftemperaturbeständig sind, andererseits eine hohe Alterungsstabilitat aufweisen.For the automotive industry and other outdoor applications, chemical-resistant and preferably transparent polycarbonates have been sought for a long time, which on the one hand are resistant to low temperatures and on the other hand have a high aging stability.
Polycarbonate werden typischerweise bei tiefen Temperaturen spröde, d.h. sie neigen dazu zu brechen und ihre Kerbschlagzähigkeit zu verlieren.Polycarbonates typically become brittle at low temperatures, i.e. they tend to break and lose their impact strength.
Polycarbonate zeigen zudem nach Lagerung bei Temperaturen unterhalb der Glasübergangstemperatur einen von der Lagerzeit und Temperatur abhängigen Alterungseffekt, durch den das hohe Energieniveau bei der Kerbschlagzähigkeit deutlich gesenkt wird (Bottenbruch et al., Engineering Thermoplastics Polycarbonates, Polyacetals, Poly- esters, Cellulose Esters, Carl Hanser Verlag München, Wien, New York, 1996,After storage at temperatures below the glass transition temperature, polycarbonates also show an aging effect that is dependent on the storage time and temperature, which significantly reduces the high energy level in the impact strength (Bottenbruch et al., Engineering Thermoplastics Polycarbonates, Polyacetals, Polyesters, Cellulose Esters, Carl Hanser Verlag Munich, Vienna, New York, 1996,
S. 183 f), d.h. auch dadurch werden Polycarbonate spröde.P. 183 f), i.e. this also makes polycarbonates brittle.
Es wurden nun bereits Copolycarbonate auf Basis von 4,4'-Dihydroxydiphenyl und 2,2- Bis(4-hydroxyρhenyl)propan aus JP 5 117 382 bekannt und in EP-AI 0 544407, US 5 470 938, US 5 532 324 und US 5 401 826 als besonders chemikalienresistent, hitzebeständig und schwer entflammbar beschrieben, bei, im Vergleich zu handelsüblichem Polycarbonat aus reinem Bisphenol, gleichen mechanischen Eigenschaften und Transparenz. Es findet sich im Stand der Technik jedoch keinerlei Hinweis darauf, dass diese Copolycarbonate besonders gute Tieftemperatureigenschaften besitzen, geschweige denn dass diese Polycarbonate eine besondere Alterungsstabilitat aufweisen. Die Aufgabe bestand daher darin, ein transparentes Polycarbonat zu finden, das einerseits verbesserte Tieftemperaturzähigkeit im Vergleich zu Polycarbonat aus reinem 2,2-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan zeigt, andererseits eine erhöhte Alterungsstabilitat aufweist, bei verbessertem Spannungsrissverhalten.Copolycarbonates based on 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl and 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyρhenyl) propane have now been known from JP 5 117 382 and in EP-AI 0 544407, US 5 470 938, US 5 532 324 and No. 5,401,826 is described as particularly chemical-resistant, heat-resistant and flame-retardant, with, in comparison to commercially available polycarbonate made from pure bisphenol, the same mechanical properties and transparency. However, there is no indication in the prior art that these copolycarbonates have particularly good low-temperature properties, let alone that these polycarbonates have a particular aging stability. The task was therefore to find a transparent polycarbonate which, on the one hand, shows improved low-temperature toughness compared to polycarbonate made from pure 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, and on the other hand has increased aging stability with improved stress cracking behavior.
Überraschenderweise wurde nun gefunden, dass das erfindungsgemäße Copoly- carbonat bei Lagerung unterhalb der Glasübergangstemperatur des Copolycarbonats keinen von der Lagerzeit und Temperatur abhängigen Alterungseffekt zeigt, so dass das hohe Energieniveau bei der Kerbschlagzähigkeit beibehalten wird, die Polycarbonate werden nicht spröde.Surprisingly, it has now been found that the copolycarbonate according to the invention shows no aging effect which is dependent on the storage time and temperature when stored below the glass transition temperature of the copolycarbonate, so that the high energy level in the impact strength is maintained and the polycarbonates do not become brittle.
Dieses unerwartete Alterungsverhalten des erfindungsgemäßen Copolycarbonats ist fiir die Praxisanwendung von großer Bedeutung. Viele Anwendungen unterliegen ständig wechselnden thermischen Belastungen. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Copolycarbonat wird somit ein Werkstoff bereit gestellt, der über eine sehr gute Kerbschlagzähigkeit bei tiefen Tieftemperatur verfügt, der jedoch auch diese Eigenschaft nicht durch Lagerung bei Temperaturen unterhalb der Glasübergangstemperatur auf Grund von Alterungseffekten wieder verliert.This unexpected aging behavior of the copolycarbonate according to the invention is of great importance for practical use. Many applications are subject to constantly changing thermal loads. The copolycarbonate according to the invention thus provides a material which has very good notched impact strength at low low temperatures, but which also does not lose this property again due to aging effects due to storage at temperatures below the glass transition temperature.

Die Prozentangaben der Bisphenol-Monomere beziehen sich auf den auf 100 % definierten Gesamtgehalt der Polycarbonate an Bisphenolen. Ein reines Bisphenol A Polycarbonat bestünde dann aus 100 % Bisphenol A. Der Carbonatanteil aus Kohlen- säureestern oder - Halogeniden wird dabei nicht mit berücksichtigt.The percentages of the bisphenol monomers relate to the total content of bisphenols defined in the polycarbonates at 100%. A pure bisphenol A polycarbonate would then consist of 100% bisphenol A. The carbonate content from carbonic acid esters or halides is not taken into account.

Es hat sich nun überraschenderweise gezeigt, dass solche Copolycarbonate einerseits besonders gute Tieftemperatureigenschaften, andererseits auch besonders gute Alterungseigenschaften aufweisen. Sie sind daher als Formkörper überall dort einsetzbar, wo die bislang bekannten Polycarbonate in ihrem Eigenschaftsbild nicht ausreichend sind, insbesondere z. B. im Elektrosektor sowie im Bausektor, für Abdeckungen oder Verglasungen, insbesondere im Kraftfahrzeugbereich als Folien, Platten, Armaturen- teile oder Gehäuseteile, aber auch im optischen Bereich als Linsen und Datenspeicher sowie als Gebrauchsartikel, und zwar dann, wenn erhöhte Wärmeform- oder Chemikalienbeständigkeit bei gleichzeitig guten Tieftemperatureigenschaften und/oder Alterungsstabilitat verlangt werden. Daneben können sie auch andere Werkstoffe ersetzen, in denen gewöhnliche Polycarbonate auf Grund ihrer dafür nicht ausreichenden Tief- temperatureigenschaften bislang nicht eingesetzt werden konnten.Surprisingly, it has now been shown that such copolycarbonates on the one hand have particularly good low-temperature properties and on the other hand also have particularly good aging properties. They can therefore be used as moldings wherever the properties of the polycarbonates known hitherto are insufficient, in particular, for. B. in the electrical sector and in the construction sector, for covers or glazing, in particular in the automotive sector as films, plates, fittings or housing parts, but also in the optical field as lenses and data storage as well as consumer goods, when increased heat resistance or chemical resistance with good low-temperature properties and / or aging stability at the same time. In addition, they can also replace other materials in which ordinary polycarbonates have not been able to be used because of their insufficient low-temperature properties.
