Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、樹脂組成物に関するものである。さらに詳しくは、粉体としての取り扱いが容易で、無機微粒子の分散性に優れる樹脂組成物に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、熱可塑性樹脂を用いて得られるフィルムやシートは、食品をはじめとする種々の製品の包装用材料として広く用いられている。熱可塑性樹脂を用いて得られるフィルム自体の欠点としては包装適正の悪化が挙げられ、この欠点はフィルムを重ねたときにフィルム同士が密着すること、いわゆるフィルムのブロッキングが原因と考えられており、この欠点を解消するために、フィルム中に無機微粒子を配合することが広く行われている。
【0003】
フィルム中に無機微粒子を配合する方法として広く用いられているのは、粒子状の熱可塑性樹脂を無機微粒子と混合し、次いで溶融混練してペレット状の樹脂組成物を製造し、ついでこれを成形してフィルムを得る方法である。
【0004】
例えば、特開昭58−225142号公報には、ロージン−ラムラーの式で表される粒度分布を有し、100μ以下の粒子体を1重量%以上及び1200μ以上の粒子体を1重量%以上それぞれ含まないプロピレン重合体に、2酸化珪素と脂肪酸塩との重量比が0.01〜1の範囲で配合してなり、2酸化珪素の分散性の向上に効果的であるオレフィン重合体組成物が記載されている。
【0005】
特開平8−81591号公報には、平均粒子径が500〜1300μmで300μm以下の微粒子の割合が10重量%以下のオレフィン重合体粒子100重量部に、平均粒子径が1.0〜4.0μm、見掛比重が0.20〜0.60g/cm3の無機系微粉末0.05〜0.60重量部を配合し、溶融混練したことを特徴とするポリオレフィン組成物が記載されている。
【0006】
また、熱可塑性樹脂中の無機微粒子の濃度が高濃度になるように熱可塑性樹脂に無機微粒子を混合し、次いで溶融混練を行って、マスターバッチを製造し、これを別に用意された熱可塑性樹脂に添加することも広く行われている。
例えば、特開平8−92424号公報には、平均粒子径が50〜500μで100μ以下の微粒子の割合が10重量%以上のオレフィン重合体粒子に無機系微粉末を配合し、溶融混練して得られ、アンチブロッキング剤の濃度が3.0〜25.0重量%であり、アンチブロッキング剤の分散性が良好でフィルムの外観、透明性、耐ブロッキング性、耐傷付き性の良好なポリオレフィンフィルム用マスターバッチが記載されている。
【0007】
しかし、上記特開昭58−225142号公報または特開平8−81591号公報に記載されているようにオレフィン重合体粒子に二酸化ケイ素(シリカ)粉末である無機微粒子を混合した場合、一般的に無機微粒子は混合中に凝集しやすいので、無機微粒子の凝集体が生成することがある。特に、上記特開平8−92424号公報に記載されているように高濃度のマスターバッチを製造する時には凝集体が生成しやすい。そして、凝集体が製品であるフィルムやシートに混入すると、フィルムやシートの外観を損ない、製品の価値が低下することがある。
【0008】
凝集体の生成を防ぐ方法としては、従来から熱可塑性樹脂中の微粒子の量を増加させる方法、特定の添加剤を用いる方法、特定の性状を示す無機微粒子を用いる方法などが知られている。しかし、熱可塑性樹脂中の微粒子の量を増加させる方法は飛散などが起こり、微粒子の取り扱いが困難になり、粉塵爆発の危険性が増加する。また、特定の添加剤を用いる方法や特定の性状を示す無機微粒子を用いる方法は適用できる用途が限られている。
このような状況において、幅広い用途に適用できる樹脂組成物の製造方法であって、無機微粒子の濃度を高くすることができ、無機微粒子が凝集することなく、その分散性に優れる樹脂組成物の製造方法が望まれていた。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、粉体としての取り扱いが容易で、無機微粒子の分散性に優れる樹脂組成物を提供することにある。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、かかる実情に鑑み、鋭意検討の結果、重量平均粒子径が特定の範囲であり、粒子径が特定の値以下である粒子の割合が特定の範囲であり、粒子径が特定の範囲である粒子の割合が特定の範囲であり、混合割合が一定の範囲である熱可塑性樹脂と混合割合が一定の範囲である無機微粒子を含む樹脂組成物と、上記樹脂組成物の製造方法、および混合量は特定の範囲である上記樹脂組成物と混合量が特定の範囲である熱可塑性樹脂を混合し、押出成形して得られるフィルムが上記課題を解決できることを見出し、本発明の完成に至った。
【0011】
すなわち、本発明は、下記の要件(A)〜(C)を満足する粒子である、プロピレンを主成分とする単量体を重合して得られる重合体80〜98重量部と、二酸化ケイ素2〜20重量部を含むことを特徴とする樹脂組成物、およびその樹脂組成物の製造方法に係るものである。

以上、詳述したとおり、本発明により、粉体としての取り扱いが容易で、無機微粒子の分散性に優れる樹脂組成物を得ることができる。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a resin composition that can be easily handled as a powder and has excellent dispersibility of inorganic fine particles.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, films and sheets obtained using a thermoplastic resin have been widely used as packaging materials for various products including food. Defects of the film itself obtained using a thermoplastic resin include deterioration of packaging suitability, and this defect is considered to be caused by close contact between the films when the films are stacked, so-called film blocking, In order to eliminate this drawback, it is widely practiced to mix inorganic fine particles in the film.
[0003]
A widely used method for blending inorganic fine particles in a film is to mix a particulate thermoplastic resin with inorganic fine particles, then melt and knead to produce a pellet-shaped resin composition, and then mold this Thus, a film is obtained.
[0004]
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-225142 has a particle size distribution represented by the Rosin-Rammler formula, and particles having a particle size of 100 μm or less are 1% by weight or more and particles of 1200 μm or more are 1% by weight or more, respectively. An olefin polymer composition which is blended with a propylene polymer not containing the silicon dioxide and the fatty acid salt in a weight ratio of 0.01 to 1 and is effective in improving dispersibility of silicon dioxide. Are listed.
[0005]
In JP-A-8-81591, 100 parts by weight of olefin polymer particles having an average particle diameter of 500 to 1300 μm and a proportion of fine particles of 300 μm or less of 10% by weight or less and an average particle diameter of 1.0 to 4.0 μm are disclosed. Further, there is described a polyolefin composition characterized in that 0.05 to 0.60 parts by weight of inorganic fine powder having an apparent specific gravity of 0.20 to 0.60 g / cm 3 is blended and melt-kneaded.
[0006]
Also, the inorganic fine particles are mixed with the thermoplastic resin so that the concentration of the inorganic fine particles in the thermoplastic resin is high, and then melt-kneaded to produce a master batch, which is separately prepared thermoplastic resin. Addition to is also widely performed.
For example, in JP-A-8-92424, an inorganic fine powder is blended with olefin polymer particles having an average particle diameter of 50 to 500 μm and a proportion of fine particles of 100 μm or less of 10% by weight or more, and melt kneaded. The concentration of the antiblocking agent is 3.0 to 25.0% by weight, the dispersibility of the antiblocking agent is good, and the film appearance, transparency, blocking resistance, and scratch resistance are good masters for polyolefin films. The batch is listed.
[0007]
However, when inorganic fine particles which are silicon dioxide (silica) powder are mixed with olefin polymer particles as described in JP-A-58-225142 or JP-A-8-81591, generally inorganic Since the fine particles easily aggregate during mixing, an aggregate of inorganic fine particles may be formed. In particular, as described in JP-A-8-92424, aggregates are likely to be produced when a high-concentration master batch is produced. And when an aggregate is mixed in the film and sheet | seat which are products, the external appearance of a film or a sheet | seat may be impaired and the value of a product may fall.
[0008]
Conventionally known methods for preventing the formation of aggregates include a method for increasing the amount of fine particles in a thermoplastic resin, a method using a specific additive, and a method using inorganic fine particles having specific properties. However, the method of increasing the amount of fine particles in the thermoplastic resin causes scattering and the like, making it difficult to handle the fine particles and increasing the risk of dust explosion. In addition, methods that use specific additives and methods that use inorganic fine particles having specific properties have limited applications.
In such a situation, a method for producing a resin composition that can be applied to a wide range of applications, wherein the concentration of inorganic fine particles can be increased, and the inorganic fine particles do not aggregate, and the resin composition is excellent in dispersibility. A method was desired.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition that is easy to handle as a powder and excellent in dispersibility of inorganic fine particles.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In view of the actual situation, the present inventors have intensively studied, and as a result, the weight average particle size is in a specific range, the proportion of particles having a particle size of a specific value or less is in a specific range, and the particle size is specified. A resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin having a specific ratio in a range of particles, a thermoplastic resin having a certain mixing ratio, and inorganic fine particles having a certain mixing ratio, and a method for producing the resin composition Further, the present invention has found that a film obtained by mixing the resin composition having a specific mixing range with a thermoplastic resin having a specific mixing range and extrusion molding can solve the above problems, and completing the present invention. It came to.
[0011]
That is, the present invention comprises 80 to 98 parts by weight of a polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer mainly composed of propylene, which is a particle satisfying the following requirements (A) to (C), and silicon dioxide 2 resin composition which comprises a 20 parts by weight, and relates to a manufacturing method of the resin composition.
