Abstract

PURPOSE:Foamed particles which can easily form a high-quality elastic foamed molding, prepared by crosslinking a polyamide elastomer resin. CONSTITUTION:Foamed particles for the production of a foamed thermoplastic synthetic resin molding, which is a crosslinking product of a thermoplastic elastomer resin comprising a block copolymer having crystalline polyamide segments and polyether segments (e.g., polylaurolactam/polytetrahydrofuran block copolymer) and having a melt index <=40g/10min and a hot xylene- soluble residue <=60%. When these foamed particles are foamed by in-mold expansion molding, the resulting foam has a smooth surface and fine uniform cells and is excellent in rubber elasticity, tensile strength, low-temperature properties, resistance to abrasion, chemicals, water or heat, adhesiveness, dye affinity, etc. Therefore, this foam can be used as a foam of performance higher than that of polyurethane in a wide variety of fields of products such as heat-insulating materials, clothes, carpets, building materials, automotive supplies, etc.

In recent years, as a result of improvements in the quality of thermoplastic elastomer resins, products that are superior to polyurethane resins in many respects are now available at lower prices. (The currently practiced foam molding method involves preliminary foaming of these resin particles to form foamed particles, and then heating them in a mold to re-foam the foamed particles and fuse the particles together.) If foam molding can be performed using a molding method, an elastic foam molded product with high physical properties can be obtained with high efficiency. However, contrary to expectations,
When thermoplastic elastomer resin is foamed in a molten state and molded in the same way as polystyrene and polyolefin, although it will foam for a while, it will subsequently shrink significantly, resulting in severe deformation (including shrinkage) and large bubbles. A completely satisfactory molded product cannot be obtained.

It has been found that the elastomer produced by crosslinking has excellent foam moldability not found in conventional thermoplastic elastomer resins.

Generally, when a crosslinkable thermoplastic synthetic resin is crosslinked, its fluidity during melting decreases depending on the treated charcoal, and eventually the resin loses its thermoplasticity. These changes in physical properties are
While this may be preferable in certain applications, crosslinking does not actually modify the thermoplastic 01 resin, as it generally makes melt extrusion and post-processing of the molded product (e.g., stretching) difficult. There are only a few examples where it has been used as a means of quality control, and there are only a few examples, such as crosslinking of polyolefins. In the field of thermoplastic elastomer resins, it is expected that this resin's greatest feature, that is, its thermoplasticity, which is unusual for an elastomer, will be diminished, worsening its moldability, and also reducing its vital rubber elasticity. However, there are almost no examples in which the use of crosslinking treatment has been considered. In particular, it was not known whether thermoplastic polyamide elastomer resin could be crosslinked or not, so this 1JJ resin and its pre-expanded particles, which were crosslinked within the range specified in the present invention, achieved excellent foam moldability. However, it was completely unexpected that there was almost no deterioration in terms of physical and chemical properties, but rather improvements.

The foamed particles according to the present invention are made of polyamide elastomer 11JI resin subjected to crosslinking treatment as described above.
Changes in the molecular structure of the resin due to crosslinking can be indirectly known by the increase in thermal xylene insoluble residue. That is, an uncrosslinked polyamide elastomer completely dissolves in hot xylene, but as the degree of crosslinking increases, the amount of residue insoluble in hot xylene increases, reaching a maximum of about 60 to 85%. The foamed particles according to the present invention have a heat xylene insoluble residue of 6
The resin is cross-linked to an extent not exceeding 0%, so that the resin is preferably 0.5 g/10 minutes or more, particularly preferably 1.
It maintains fluidity when melted showing a melt index of ~25 g/10 minutes. Although the site where crosslinks are formed in the copolymer molecular chain has not yet been completely elucidated, it is thought to be a soft segment mainly composed of polyether.

Among polyamide-based elastomer resins, polylaurinlactam-polyte-Y-labide-loalane block copolymer is preferred as the raw material resin for the crosslinked elastomer constituting the expanded particles of the present invention. However, the segment 1 of this polymer may contain a group derived from a third component such as ampic acid, ace'laic acid, todecanoic acid, etc. of polytetrahydro-7. Particularly preferred among these copolymers are those containing 30 to 80 weight percent of polylaurin lactam segment F and 20 to 50 weight percent of polytetrahydro7 run segment, respectively. This resin is superior to a single polyamide-based elastomer resin in that it provides an elastomer resin with excellent foam moldability and other properties while maintaining the melt index required for the elastomer resin constituting the expanded particles of the present invention. It is excellent.

Modification of the raw material resin by crosslinking proceeds in a manner roughly proportional to the degree of crosslinking.When considered as a polyamide-based elastomer resin modification method, there is no lower limit to the degree of crosslinking, but in order to obtain an elastomer that can be foam-molded, It is desirable that the crosslinking proceed until at least 0.5% of hot xylene insoluble residue is reached.

That is, particles of the crosslinked TJT resin are allowed to absorb a volatile solvent-based foaming agent, and then heated together with a dispersion medium under pressure in a closed container, and then released together with the dispersion medium into an atmosphere at a lower pressure than the inside of the container to cause foaming. As the blowing agent to be used, it is appropriate to use a low-boiling organic compound (usually having a boiling point of about -50 to 110°C) that penetrates into the TJL fat particles. Specific examples include aliphatic hydrocarbons such as propane, butane, pentane, hexane, and heptane; cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclo7tane and cyclopentane; trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorofluoromethane, and dichlorodifluoromethane. , dichlorotetrafluoroethane, methyl chloride, ethyl chloride, and halogenated hydrocarbons such as ethylene chloride. In order to absorb the blowing agent into the resin particles, the two may be brought into contact at room temperature or under heating, but this step can be carried out independently or by heating the resin particles together with a dispersion medium in a closed container. It may be done at the same time. In that case, untreated resin particles, a blowing agent, and a dispersion medium are placed in a closed container, and the temperature is raised while stirring. Alternatively, untreated resin particles and a dispersion medium are heated in a closed container, and at any stage until a predetermined temperature is reached, a blowing agent is injected into the closed container and mixed. Water is used as the dispersion medium. When dispersing resin particles in a dispersion medium and heating it in a closed container, the dispersion medium also contains dispersants such as aluminum oxide, titanium oxide,
Fine powder of basic magnesium carbonate, basic zinc carbonate, calcium carbonate, etc. may be added to prevent resin particles from fusing. The amount of the dispersant added is preferably about 0.01 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the resin particles. The heating temperature in the heating step may be a temperature based on the softening temperature of the resin, which does not cause fusion between resin particles.

The preferred temperature naturally varies depending on the type of raw material resin, but is usually 110 to 150°C. If this temperature is too high, particles will fuse together, making it difficult to proceed to the next foaming step, and the cells will be destroyed, resulting in foamed particles with a low closed cell ratio. The heating time is not particularly limited, but if the foaming agent is absorbed during this heating,
It goes without saying that it is necessary to process until the blowing agent is uniformly absorbed into the particles. Thereafter, the resin particles are foamed by releasing the contents of the sealed container into an atmosphere having a pressure lower than the internal pressure of the container to vaporize the foaming agent. When water is used as a dispersion medium, the atmosphere in which foaming is carried out as described above may generally be atmospheric pressure.
