BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As a skin material for automobile interior materials such as instrument panels, console boxes, armrests, headrests, door trims, etc., a powder molded product of a vinyl chloride powder composition containing a plasticizer is available. It is used. However, the molded product is not only inferior in lightness but also generates an acidic substance by incineration at the time of disposal of a vehicle, and causes air pollution, acid rain, etc., and is inferior in cleanness, resulting in a defect derived from vinyl chloride. There is a drawback derived from a plasticizer, such as the formation of fog on the inner surface of the window glass, and it is not satisfactory.

After that, when the investigation was continued, the thermoplastic elastomer powder showed good powder flowability immediately after pulverization, but the powders agglomerated during standing for a long time and the powder flowability required for powder molding was lost. The problem arises.

Further, it is also preferable to use an oil-extended olefin-based copolymer rubber obtained by adding a mineral oil-based softening agent such as a paraffin-based process oil to an ethylene / α-olefin-based copolymer rubber.

In particular, it is possible to reduce the hardness of the molded product by using a copolymer resin of propylene and butene. If the melt flow rate of polyolefin resin (MFR, measured according to JIS K-7210, 230 ° C, 2.16kg load) is less than 20g / 10 minutes, it becomes difficult to melt and adhere powders during powder molding. Since the strength of the body decreases, 20g / 10 min or more is usually used. It is preferably 50 g / 10 minutes or more.

The thermoplastic elastomer in the present invention is
A composition of the ethylene / α-olefin copolymer rubber and a polyolefin resin as described above, or a partially crosslinked composition obtained by dynamically crosslinking the composition.
The ratio of the olefin copolymer rubber to the olefin resin is preferably 5:95 to 80:20 by weight. In carrying out dynamic crosslinking, an organic peroxide is usually used as a crosslinking agent. As the organic peroxide,
Dialkyl peroxide is preferably used. Further, in the presence of a crosslinking aid such as a bismaleimide compound, it is preferable to dynamically crosslink with a very small amount of organic peroxide. In this case, the ethylene / α-olefin copolymer rubber is appropriately crosslinked to obtain a heat resistance. It is possible to realize high liquidity at the same time as providing liquidity. The cross-linking agent is used in an amount of 1.5 parts by weight or less, preferably 0.6 parts by weight or less, per 100 parts by weight of the composition of the ethylene / α-olefin copolymer rubber and the polyolefin resin, and 0.2 parts by weight of the organic peroxide. The following is used, preferably 0.1 part by weight or less, more preferably 0.07 part by weight or less.

As a device used for dynamic crosslinking, a continuous kneading extruder such as a single-screw kneading extruder or a twin-screw kneading extruder is preferably used. When a twin-screw kneading extruder is used, extrusion-crosslinking at a shear rate of <10 3 sec -1 results in ethylene / α-
Since the dispersed particle size of the olefin-based copolymer rubber becomes large and it becomes difficult to realize the viscosity conditions of the present invention, it is preferable to carry out continuous extrusion crosslinking at a shear rate ≧ 10 3 sec −1 . The thermoplastic elastomer in the present invention has a temperature of 250 ° C.,
Complex dynamic viscosity η * (1) measured at a frequency of 1 rad / sec
Is 1.5 × 10 5 poise or less, preferably 1.0 × 10 5 poise or less. When it exceeds 1.5 × 10 5 poise, the elastomer powder does not melt and flow on the mold surface, and cannot be molded by a very low powder molding method in which the shear rate during processing is 1 sec −1 or less.

Further, using the complex dynamic viscosity η * (1) measured at 250 ° C. and a frequency of 1 radian / sec and the complex dynamic viscosity η * (100) measured at a frequency of 100 radian / sec, The calculated Newton viscosity index n is 0.67 or less, preferably

Even if the porosity is 10 5 poise or less, the frequency dependence of the complex dynamic viscosity becomes large, and the melted elastomer powder particles are produced by a very small molding method such as powder molding in which the shaping pressure at the time of molding is 1 kg / cm 2 or less. The heat fusion between them is incomplete, and only a molded product having low mechanical properties can be obtained.

It is more preferably 0.1 to 10 μm.
Here, if the average particle size exceeds 30 μm, good powder fluidity cannot be maintained during long-term storage. Examples of such fine powders include organic pigments such as azo, phthalocyanine, slene, and dye lake, oxides such as titanium oxide, molybdic acid chromoate, selenium sulfide compounds, and ferrocyanides. Inorganic pigments such as carbon black and carbon black, vinyl chloride resin for paste, powders of aluminum oxide, aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate and the like. Among them, the pigment is preferable because even if it is a small amount, the molded body is colored at the same time while maintaining good powder fluidity, and the subsequent coloring step can be omitted.

It is difficult to maintain good powder fluidity during long-term storage,
If it exceeds 20 parts by weight, a molded product having a sufficiently high heat fusion strength between powder particles cannot be obtained.

The method of incorporating the fine powder into the thermoplastic elastomer powder is not particularly limited as long as the fine powder is uniformly dispersed. For example, a blender with a heating jacket or a high speed rotation is used. Examples include a method of blending using a mold mixer or the like. Above all, a method of preventing mutual adhesion of the powders and uniformly dispersing them by applying a shearing force like a super mixer is preferable. Alternatively, the powders may be added while being heated in a range where they do not heat-bond together.

The elastomer powder composition of the present invention may also contain an internally added release agent. As the internally added release agent, a methylpolysiloxane compound is preferable, and it is effective to contain 2 parts by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of the elastomer powder composition. In this case, the timing of addition may be before or after pulverization. In this case, the methylpolysiloxane compound may have a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 20 centistokes or more, but preferably 50 to 50.
It is 00 centistokes. If the viscosity becomes too high, the effect as a release agent decreases. Further, when the amount of the internally added release agent is more than 2 parts by weight, the heat fusion between the elastomer powders is hindered and only a molded product having poor mechanical properties can be obtained, and moreover, the internally added release agent is formed on the surface of the mold. Bleeds and the mold is contaminated, which is not preferable.
