SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A chemical foaming agent is used for soft PV.
C, the molded product obtained by molding this may have a limited expansion ratio, or the desired expansion ratio may not be obtained due to slight differences in conditions,
In addition to the independent foam cells, a considerable proportion of the cells contain open cells. Further, depending on the part of the molded product, unevenness of the foam cells occurs.

It has the problem of causing outgassing and remarkably deteriorating the shape and surface properties of the molded article. The limit of the expansion ratio is at most about 2 times. It is limited to about twice or less.

[0008] On the other hand, a molded product having uniform foam cells can be obtained by adding hollow microcapsules such as aluminosilicate, but the microcapsules are broken at the stage of pelletizing the compound. However, the desired weight reduction may not be ensured, or the screws and cylinders of the granulator may be worn. In the extrusion molding, the desired weight reduction may not be obtained due to the breakage of the cells during kneading in the molding machine, or the cylinder, screw and die of the molding machine may be worn. Also,
There is a disadvantage that the specific gravity of the material is light from the stage of the pellet and the capacity at the time of packing and shipping is larger than that of a normal material.
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to overcome the drawbacks of the above composition. As a result of blending the heat-expandable microcapsules with soft PVC, there is no wear of the equipment during granulation, and the specific gravity value is equivalent to that of the conventional one. By extruding this, the compounded microcapsules expand due to the heat generated during molding, resulting in a molded product having a lighter specific gravity value and an unprecedented uniform foam cell. Further, the present inventors have found that an extruded product having a uniform foam cell which has not been obtained before can be obtained without any trouble due to generation of gas at the time of extrusion molding and wear of equipment, and the present invention has been completed. As apparent from the above description, an object of the present invention is to provide a soft vinyl chloride resin composition for extrusion molding, which has solved the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. Another object is to provide a molded article extruded from the composition of the present invention and having good physical properties.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS PVC having an average degree of polymerization of 400 to 4000 is used for the vinyl chloride resin composition used in the present invention. When PVC has an average degree of polymerization of <400, the mechanical properties are inferior. When PVC has an average degree of polymerization of> 4000, the mechanical properties are little improved but the workability (fluidity) is significantly reduced. Not a target. Here, PVC means not only a vinyl chloride homopolymer but also a copolymer of vinyl chloride as a main component (containing 50% or more of vinyl chloride) with another vinyl monomer. Other vinyl monomers that can be used in the copolymer based on vinyl chloride include vinylidene chloride, vinyl acetate, acrylic acid and its ester, methacrylic acid and its ester, acrylonitrile, maleic acid and its ester, maleic anhydride, Examples thereof include fumaric acid and esters thereof, α-olefins such as ethylene and propylene, vinyl ether, diallyl phthalate, triallyl cyanurate and the like. Furthermore,
This PVC may be a mixture of the above homopolymer or copolymer and another resin as long as the main component is vinyl chloride. Such other resins include polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer, NB
Resins having relatively good compatibility with PVC, such as R, SBR, ABS, MBS, chlorinated polyethylene, and polyurethane, are exemplified.

The unexpanded product of the heat-expandable microcapsules is as follows:
If the average particle diameter is very small, it is selected from a wide range, but usually 3 to 50 μm, preferably 10 to 30 μm. This results in a diameter of 4 at its maximum expansion temperature due to heating.
The cell outer shell thickness expands to 0.1 μm. When the average particle size is extremely small, the expansion coefficient and expansion force tend to be low, while when it is extremely large, the surface properties of the obtained molded article tend to be poor.

The heat-expandable microcapsules preferably have an expansion start temperature of 115 ° C. or higher (preferably 120 ° C. or higher) and a maximum expansion temperature of 150 ° C. or higher (preferably 160 ° C. or higher). The upper limit is that the expansion start temperature is up to about 200 ° C and the maximum expansion temperature is up to about 250 ° C. When the expansion start temperature and the maximum expansion temperature are too low, the microcapsules start expanding in the process of granulation by pre-kneading with PVC, and the initial kneading when supplied to an extruder,
This is destroyed, and it is difficult to obtain the desired foaming in the molded product. If the expansion start temperature and the maximum expansion temperature are too high, the normal PVC molding temperature range (160

If the amount of the heat-expandable microcapsules is less than 0.1% by weight, the contribution to weight reduction is small, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, the appearance of the extruded product may be impaired, which is not preferable. However, if the appearance of the product is not regarded as important, there is no problem even if it exceeds 20% by weight.

The vinyl chloride composition used in the present invention contains 20 to 250 parts by weight of a plasticizer based on 100 parts by weight of PVC. There is no particular limitation on the plasticizer to be used, and plasticizers usually blended with PVC can be used alone or as a mixture. Examples of such a plasticizer include phthalate plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalate, adipic ester plasticizers such as dioctyl adipate, trimellitic acid plasticizers such as trioctyl trimellitate, and tricresyl phosphate. And plasticizers such as polyester plasticizers such as 1,3-butylene glycol adipate, and epoxy plasticizers such as epoxidized soybean oil. When the blending amount of the plasticizer is less than 20 parts by weight, the heat-expandable microcapsules start to expand due to heat generation during granulation, and further, the microcapsules are broken by shearing and heat generation during extrusion molding, which is not preferable. If it exceeds 250 parts by weight, the plasticizer undesirably oozes on the surface of the molded article.

If the resin temperature at the time of granulation exceeds 115 ° C., the added thermally expandable microcapsules start to expand, the specific gravity of the pellets before molding decreases, and the volume increases, which is not preferable. Further, when the pellets containing the expanded microcapsules are molded by extrusion, the expanded microcapsules are broken by the pressure at the time of molding, and the desired foaming may not be obtained.

In obtaining a molded article from the vinyl chloride resin composition using the molding machine and the mold, the molding conditions may be any of the ordinary PVC composition molding conditions.
Although not particularly limited, preferably, the cylinder temperature,
The resin temperature is the maximum expansion temperature of the heat-expandable microcapsules in consideration of the shape of the die, the screw rotation speed, and the like.
It is preferable to set the temperature to about 60 to 180 ° C. When the resin temperature is lower than 160 ° C., the heat-expandable microcapsules do not reach the maximum expansion and the desired foaming cannot be obtained. The expandable microcapsules start expanding and are broken, and it may be difficult to obtain the desired foaming in the molded product. If the temperature exceeds 190 ° C., the outer components of the heat-expandable microcapsules may be discolored, which is not preferable.
