2. Description of the Related Art At present, synthetic resin seaweed cages which are widely used for the production of dried seaweed are harmless and nontoxic for hygiene and can withstand relatively high temperatures among thermoplastic synthetic resins. From the viewpoint of balance between physical properties and material costs, small-diameter polypropylene rods manufactured by a general extrusion molding method using a polypropylene resin occupy the mainstream. However, the polypropylene sea ladle has the following two major drawbacks. That is, there are two points: the adhesion between the surface of the laver and the raw laver is weak, and the rigidity required for laver is insufficient.

[0003] The effect of the above-mentioned drawbacks is that when the laver is used, the adhesiveness to the laver is weak, so that the laver is easily peeled off from the laver before the laver is not sufficiently dried in the drying step, so that wrinkled dry laver is obtained. And have no commercial value at all. As a method for improving the adhesiveness, a method of oxidizing a surface of the laver or a material for the laver (a rod-shaped body made of polypropylene) by corona discharge or flame radiation, or applying a chlorinated polyolefin to the surface is used. Alternatively, a method of molding a polypropylene resin to which a polyolefin modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof is added to produce a seaweed cage is employed.

[0004] On the other hand, a specific reason for the above-mentioned disadvantage is that the rigidity of the polypropylene rods constituting the laver is insufficient, so that the dry laver loaded on the laver is initially shrunk with drying shrinkage. This is because the flat laver is curved, and the resulting dried laver product is extremely poor in quality due to various adverse effects derived from obstructing the flow of warm air in the mechanical drying device. As a method of improving the rigidity shortage of the rod-shaped body in such a conventional polypropylene sea ladle, a resin composition obtained by mixing a suitable amount of various inorganic fillers or a different kind of resin having high rigidity with a raw material polypropylene resin is used as a molding material. Although there is a method for producing the laver, various problems other than rigidity are caused by using the resin composition. Therefore, the present inventors have proposed, as an improved method for overcoming those problems, Japanese Patent Publication No. 39991 (Patent Nos. 1,5
No. 28,795) and invented a high rigidity polypropylene seaweed cage, and succeeded in putting it into practical use.

The practical use of the high-rigidity polypropylene laver has led to the establishment of a large foothold in the laver market, but the bending characteristics required for the laver still remain. It was not 100% satisfactory. In other words, the characteristics of laver are broadly classified into rigid and soft depending on the sea area in which they are reproductive, and the rigidity of high-rigid laver harvested in a specific sea area also increases because of its greater shrinkage during drying. However, in order to cope with this, even the aforementioned high-rigidity polypropylene laver is still insufficient in rigidity.

As a general standard for quantitatively indicating the bending characteristics of a rod-shaped body, a bending elastic modulus and a bending strength in material mechanics are used. The flexural modulus indicates the degree of bending stress required to bend a given length of a rod-like body and bend it by a certain amount. If this value is larger, the rod-like body is less likely to bend and has higher rigidity. In other words, according to the use state of the laver, the larger the bending elastic modulus, the less the bend of the laver due to the drying shrinkage force of the laver.
The bending strength indicates the value of the maximum bending stress when a bending load is applied to a rod having a certain length and the rod reaches the yield point deflection. Even if it is bent with strong force, it will not break easily, and it can be said that it has high rigidity.

[0007] The inventors of the present invention have made repeated studies based on the production results of dry laver from high-rigid laver in the specific sea area. As a result, the bending characteristics of the laver material which can sufficiently cope with the drying shrinkage force of the laver. As a criterion, they came to the conclusion that the following figures are desirable. That is, the flexural modulus of the rod-like body to be subjected to the seaweed bamboo is a 600 kgf / mm 2 or more, the flexural strength data was obtained with 12 kgf / mm 2 or more. Here, the bending elastic modulus and the bending strength value in the present invention indicate values measured by a method described in Examples described later.

At present, as a means for coping with drying shrinkage in the production of dry laver using the above-mentioned high-rigid laver which cannot be rigidly dealt with by the known polypropylene laver, an overwhelmingly rigid natural bamboo string is used. A braided laver is used. However, since the bamboo straw is a natural material, there is a variation in quality due to its natural quality, it is difficult to manage, and there is a problem that mold is easily generated due to moisture absorption. There is a strong demand for the emergence of a high-performance polypropylene laver that exceeds the rigidity level of a high-rigidity polypropylene laver and can be substituted for a bamboo clam laver.

The structure and operation of the present invention will now be described.
Details will be described below. The polypropylene resin as a raw material resin used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a crystalline polypropylene resin that can be continuously molded by a general extruder. However, in consideration of the extrudability and stretchability of the tubular or rod-shaped structure in the present invention, a melt flow rate (measured by JIS-K-6758, resin temperature 230 ° C. × load 2.16 Kg. A crystalline propylene homopolymer having an MFR of 0.5 to 20 g / 10 min, that is, a homopolypropylene resin is desirable. The polypropylene resin having an MFR of less than 0.5 g / 10 minutes is not preferred because the flowability is poor and the discharge amount from the extruder is reduced, resulting in poor productivity. Also, M
A resin having an FR of more than 20 g / 10 minutes is not preferred because it has a low melt viscosity, which makes it difficult to form a tubular or rod-shaped structure and hardly exerts the effect of stretching orientation.

Preferably, it is obtained by cutting a stretched rod-shaped rod made of polypropylene produced through a production step of continuously applying the rod to a predetermined length, and then manually knitting or mechanically braiding the rod. The above steps are steps for obtaining a tubular or rod-like structure by a generally known profile extrusion molding method, and the present inventors conveniently refer to the rod-like body before stretching as a raw material. doing.

In the process of fixing the shape of the raw material in the above steps, the raw material may be rapidly cooled to a temperature of 70 ° C. or less within several tens of seconds from the time of melt extrusion. desirable. The essential reason for quenching the raw material in this way is to improve the stretchability of the rod-shaped body in the stretching process described below. That is, when a thermoplastic resin having crystallinity such as the polypropylene resin used in the present invention is stretched while maintaining the crystal structure, the crystals in the resin structure undergo shear deformation and the molecular chains thereof are oriented in the stretching direction, Although a molded article with significantly improved physical properties can be obtained, in order to further facilitate the shear deformation behavior of the crystal and improve the stretchability of the resin,
When the molten resin is cooled and recrystallized, the above-mentioned cooling conditions are required to suppress the crystallinity as much as possible to produce many fine crystal nuclei and to increase the recrystallization speed of the resin so as not to grow crystals. Here, the raw material is required to have a remarkably long cooling time because the cooling conditions are not satisfied in the above-mentioned steps, or the raw material is supplied to the next step discontinuously after a certain time after leaving the cooling step. In this case, since the recrystallization behavior of the crystalline thermoplastic resin is large, the spherulites in the resin grow large due to the effects of slow cooling and aging, and the degree of crystallinity increases. Shear deformation behavior becomes extremely difficult, resulting in an unsuitable stretching state. Here, in the present invention, there is the significance and purpose of connecting the above-mentioned steps to the steps after reheating described later to form a continuous step.

The raw material thus fixed in shape is reheated to an appropriate stretching temperature range by a suitable heating device in the next reheating and stretching process, and immediately after maintaining the temperature, the raw material is heated. Stretching is performed by continuously pulling in a traveling direction at a predetermined speed higher than the traveling speed, and the shape is reduced and deformed into a stretched rod-like body having a desired shape and dimensions. Here, the appropriate temperature range for stretching by reheating means that the crystalline thermoplastic resin is subjected to physical tensile deformation in a state where the structure thereof has formed a crystal structure, so that the molecular structure can be suitably adjusted in the deformation direction. The drawing shows an appropriate range of a stretching treatment temperature at which chain orientation is caused and a product having excellent strength properties in the orientation direction can be obtained. In the case of the polypropylene resin used in the present invention, an appropriate stretching temperature range is 120 to 150 ° C, preferably 130 to 145 ° C.

The proper stretching temperature of the raw fabric by the reheating is an important control item in obtaining a polypropylene stretched rod having bending rigidity and shape accuracy which is the object of the present invention, and is lower than 120 ° C. If the stretching treatment is performed at a temperature, the molecular orientation of the resin becomes excessive or stretching unevenness occurs, so that microvoids are generated and the resin is whitened or warped cracks appear, and stretching of a desired shape is performed. It becomes difficult to obtain a rod-shaped body. Conversely, when heated to a high temperature of 150 ° C. or higher, the raw material is extremely softened and apparently easily stretched, but the molecular orientation of the resin is less likely to occur, and the rod-like body is stretched. The effect of exhibiting high strength and high rigidity is greatly reduced, and it becomes difficult to obtain a stretched rod having desired bending elastic modulus and bending strength.

Further, when the stretched rod is reduced and deformed in the stretching process, the outer diameter of the raw material before stretching is D 1 and the outer diameter of the stretched rod after stretching is D 1 .

The stretched rod made of polypropylene in the present invention is preferably stretched at a stretch ratio of 6 times or more. That is, the raw material reheated to the above-described proper stretching temperature range in the reheating step is subjected to the stretching treatment by applying a tensile speed 6 times or more higher than the running speed of the raw fabric in the stretching treatment step. As a result, the molecular chain in the resin is strongly oriented in the stretching direction, and a stretched rod-shaped body made of polypropylene with excellent strength characteristics and excellent dimensional accuracy and appearance that satisfies the above-mentioned conditions is obtained. Stretched under conditions where the stretching ratio is less than 6 times, not only the orientation of the molecular chains is insufficient and strength properties are not improved, but also the stretching behavior becomes unstable and causes a significant change in shape, The desired product cannot be obtained.

Here, the upper limit of the stretching ratio of the stretched rod made of polypropylene in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is considered to be about 12 times for the following reason. That is, (1) the relationship between the stretching ratio and the strength characteristics of the rod-shaped body is such that both the tensile strength and the bending strength improve as the stretching ratio increases, but the strength is almost peaked at the stretching ratio of 11 to 12 times. (2) Excessive stretch orientation causes the so-called stretch-rupture phenomena, in which the molecular chain of the polypropylene resin is broken or the rod reaches the limit of tensile strength and breaks during the stretching process. And so on.

The stretched rod thus stretched at a stretch ratio of 6 times or more and formed into a desired shape and size is immediately cooled again in the recooling process following the stretching process until the temperature drops to an appropriate temperature or lower. This is because the molecular structure in the resin, which is strongly oriented by the stretching treatment, is directly stabilized by cooling and solidifying, and the strength characteristics, dimensional accuracy, appearance, and the like of the obtained stretched rod-like body are obtained. is there. In this way, the tubular or rod-shaped structure made of the polypropylene resin is stretched in the axial direction at a stretch ratio of 6 times or more under specific conditions, and then immediately re-cooled to form the desired shape and dimensions. The flexural modulus measured by a measurement method described later is 600 kgf / mm 2
As described above, a stretched rod made of polypropylene, which has a bending strength of 12 kgf / mm 2 or more and can be suitably used as a high-rigid seaweed cage material, is obtained.

As is clear from Table 1, although the flexural modulus of the raw material resin (general-purpose PP) used in Examples 1 to 3 was smaller than that of Comparative Example 1, it was obtained in this example. The stretched rod made of polypropylene according to the present invention has a bending property of a molded article which is evaluated to be the highest rigidity among the conventional polypropylene seaweed stock materials.
It can be seen that it is significantly improved as compared with the rod-shaped body made of P ". If the bending characteristic level is equal to or higher than the bending elastic modulus and bending strength of the molded product (6 times stretched) obtained in Example 1, In a practical test of a seaweed basin using this, it was proved that it could be applied to a high-rigid seaweed basin with a large drying shrinkage force. Although not achieved, the stretched rod made of “general-purpose PP” with a draw ratio of 10 obtained in Example 3 has a bending characteristic that almost antagonizes the rigidity level of the bamboo straw. Practical test results have demonstrated that the polypropylene laver cage of the present invention, in which the stretched rod-shaped body is braided, can sufficiently compete with the bamboo-higashi laver cage.

Weaved and obtained a laver cage. Comparative Example 4 A laver cage was obtained by alternately knitting (a) the bamboo string used in Comparative Example 2 and the "high-rigidity PP" rod-shaped body of Comparative Example 3 with yarn. Using 300 laver cages obtained in Example 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 respectively, a dry laver production test was conducted using the laver of the Akashi fishing ground in Hyogo Prefecture, which is said to be the hardest of the laver, as a raw material. In this test, the bending of the cage, the finish of laver (particularly the surface gloss), and the drying property of laver were comparatively evaluated. In addition, the bend of the cage is based on the laver before use, and the shaft of the laver material after circulating the laver 130 times in a warm air drying device set at a temperature of 45 to 50 ° C. It is a value obtained by actually measuring the maximum deflection amount in the direction. Table 2 shows the results.

As can be seen from Table 2, when drying the very hard seaweed that is harvested at the Akashi fishing ground in Hyogo Prefecture, the seaweed shrinkage generated during drying is large, and the seaweed pens used for this purpose have high rigidity. Although it is necessary to have a, but in a laver cage using a polypropylene stretched rod-shaped body of the present invention as a material, since it can sufficiently withstand the drying shrinkage force of the laver,
There is little bending of the pond and it is almost the same as a nori pond using bamboo. The dried nori is finished to be glossy and a product with high commercial value can be obtained. On the other hand, unstretched high-rigidity polypropylene laver has a great track record in laver production in other areas, but the rigidity is inferior to the high-rigid laver produced in this test, so the bend of the laver Becomes large and hinders the circulation of warm air in the drying apparatus. As a result, the drying time is long and the amount of adhering water is increased, resulting in a product having poor dry laver finish and low commercial value.
