An artificial marble containing an acrylic resin containing an inorganic filler is generally prepared by dispersing an inorganic powder in a syrup prepared by dissolving a polymer in an unsaturated monomer mainly containing methyl methacrylate. It is manufactured by a casting method in which a slurry is formed and is polymerized and hardened along a mold.

Unsaturated monomers mainly composed of methyl methacrylate have a low boiling point, so that the evaporation of the monomers during polymerization,
In order to prevent the generation of voids due to volatilization, it is necessary to carry out the polymerization and curing at a relatively low temperature of 60 to 80 ° C., which is the boiling point or less. Therefore, since the polymerization temperature is low, the curing is slow, the molding requires a long time, and the productivity is poor.

On the other hand, the unsaturated polyester artificial marble containing a thermosetting resin as a main component is manufactured by the same casting method and compression molding method as the acrylic artificial marble.

Generally, this putty-like molding material is called a premix.

The molding speed of compression molding using the premix is generally said to be such that heat compression molding can be performed in a short time at a rate of 1 minute or less per 1 mm of the wall thickness of the molded product.

The compression molding method has higher productivity and is more economical than the casting method. A method for obtaining an acrylic artificial marble with good productivity, and also by compression molding capable of producing products in various forms, has been reported, that is, a high-viscosity mixture of an unsaturated monomer mainly composed of methyl methacrylate and an inorganic powder, that is, A method of polymerizing and curing the premix under pressure and at a high temperature is reported in JP-A-5-32720.

According to this method, a premix is obtained by containing fine resin particles insoluble in an unsaturated monomer mainly containing methyl methacrylate and having a swelling degree of 3 to 15 times. Since it is as large as 15 times, it takes a long time to swell sufficiently and uniformly, and it is possible to avoid deterioration of design effects such as gloss and transparency of the obtained molded product due to the large degree of swelling of resin particles. I couldn't do it. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-310838 discloses a method for producing a high-viscosity acrylic syrup by statically dissolving polymeric substance fine particles in an acrylic syrup, but it takes a long time of half a day or more for dissolution.

Preparation of a premix is also one of the most important points in compression molding using a methacrylic resin-based unsaturated monomer. Since acrylic premixes cannot be easily thickened like unsaturated polyesters, various measures have been taken to prepare highly viscous premixes. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-11652 discloses a carboxylic group. Acrylic syrup obtained by partially copolymerizing the vinyl monomer with M is used as a thickener.
A method for preparing a premix by adding an alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide such as gO or Mg (OH) 2 has been proposed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION When preparing an acrylic resin-based premix, there is disclosed in JP-A-61-171713.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-160648 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-160648, a method of increasing viscosity by adding a polymethylmethacrylate resin powder to a syrup and dissolving it is common. However, in the case of preparing a high-viscosity premix by the above method, it is difficult to control the temperature of the premix because uniform stirring is difficult, and abnormal polymerization or the like is likely to occur, so quality control such as polymerization rate or degree of polymerization can be performed. There are difficulties. Further, a method of preparing a premix by filling an inorganic material powder at a high concentration is also common, but a problem is that the obtained molded product is inferior in transparency.

10,000 to 800,000 polymethylmethacrylate. When the weight average molecular weight is less than 200,000, the amount of fine resin particles required to obtain an appropriate viscosity is large, and the corresponding amount of acrylic syrup is also large, resulting in large polymerization shrinkage during compression molding and product quality. Spoil. On the other hand, if the weight average molecular weight exceeds 800,000, the dissolution rate in methyl methacrylate will be slow and productivity will be reduced. On the other hand, if the particle size of the resin fine particles is too large, pinholes or fish eyes are generated during molding, which impairs the quality of the molded product, and is preferably 1 mm or less, more preferably 500 μm or less.

Applicable resin may be any resin as long as it does not dissolve in acrylic syrup, but unsaturated polyester artificial marble or acrylic artificial marble containing aluminum hydroxide as a filler is crushed from the design effect. Particles are preferred, especially the latter. The resin component in the crushed particles may swell with the acrylic syrup.
The amount of crushed artificial marble particles used is 1 to 80% by weight,
It is preferably 40 to 70% by weight. When using the artificial marble ground particles, the amount of aluminum hydroxide as the component (b) is 50 to 85% by weight in the compression molding material, including the amount of the inorganic filler contained in the component (d). It is necessary to blend such an amount. As such crushed particles, the average particle size of the crushed particles is 0.1 to 10 mm,
It is preferable that the acrylic resin in the crushed particles is a crosslinked resin and the swelling degree of the crushed particles with respect to methyl methacrylate is 2.0 or less. If the particle size of the crushed particles is too small, the pattern will not be sharp, and if the particle size is too large, cracks will occur in the molded product or the contour of the pattern will be disturbed. If the degree of swelling of the crushed particles is too large, the contour of the pattern is blurred and the sharpness is lost, and flow-like dirt is generated.

In the compression molding material of the present invention, since the acrylic resin fine particles (c) act as an aggregate during molding, an excellent molded product with a small shrinkage during molding can be obtained. Further, since it is not necessary to completely dissolve the acrylic resin fine particles (c) in the molding material, the premix can be prepared in a short time and is efficient. In particular, when the cross-linked acrylic artificial marble particles having a swelling degree of 2.0 or less are used together, the viscosity control during molding is easy and the flow unevenness during molding is remarkably improved. In addition, the effect of suppressing polymerization shrinkage during molding is large, and further, the excellent effect that the internal voids of the molded product are significantly reduced is exhibited.
