DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in a stopper for injections made of a special thermoplastic elastomer.

〔発明の技術的背景とその問題点〕[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Stoppers for injections are defined in the 10th revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia Preparation General Regulations 17.
It refers to a stopper for injections as specified in 2017, and is specifically used by inserting it into the mouth of a container containing an infusion such as Ringer's solution or the mouth of a container for lyophilized preparations for the purpose of sealing the injection. It is something that will be done. When this stopper is used with a syringe needle inserted, it is necessary that the hole of the syringe needle is not clogged with debris from the material of the stopper and that the inside of the container is kept in communication with the atmosphere. Furthermore, it is necessary that the injection solution does not leak from the insertion point of the injection needle when the injection needle is handled.

加硫ゴムの材料からなるものが使用されている。
By the way, conventional stoppers for injections are made of vulcanized rubber materials such as isobutylene/isoprene (butyl rubber), chlorinated butyl rubber, natural rubber, polyisoprene rubber, polybutadiene rubber, etc. .

しかしながら、加硫ゴムからなる止栓は、以下に示す種
々の問題がある。
However, stoppers made of vulcanized rubber have various problems as shown below.

(1)従来の止栓は医療衛生上、完全に満足されるもの

(1) Conventional stopcocks are not completely satisfactory in terms of medical hygiene. In particular, even if the transmittance test (measuring the amount of particulates eluted from the material) and evaporation residue test, which are part of the eluate tests stipulated by the Japanese Pharmacopoeia's rubber stopper test method for injections, are within the specifications. However, there are problems such as the polymerization solvent, additives, etc. remaining in the vulcanized rubber eluting into the injection solution container over time.

(2) In manufacturing stopcocks, there is a problem in that the process becomes complicated from the viewpoint of placing emphasis on medical hygiene. In other words, during manufacturing, it is not necessary to strictly select the types and amounts of various additives to be mixed into rubber, such as vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, vulcanization accelerators, softeners, and various inorganic fillers. Of course, the vulcanization process also requires very complicated operations such as carefully controlling conditions such as time and temperature, and cleaning with several types of chemicals after molding.

(3)止栓を製品形状に仕上げるのに、前記材料は熱可

除去に際して切断屑や異物の付着等の問題が生じる。
(3) In finishing the stopper into a product shape, the material has poor thermoplasticity, which reduces productivity and makes it difficult to mold products with complex shapes. For example, in the case of a stopper for freeze-drying, the water in the frozen drug in the vial is sublimated and diffused to the cold trap in the freeze-dryer.
At this time, the half-sealed stopper must provide a large electrical conduction between the inside and outside of the bottle to increase diffusion efficiency, and the fully-sealed stopper after drying must have a structure that completely seals the bottle. However, vulcanized rubber has poor material flowability, which greatly restricts the freedom to design the necessary plug structure. Further, when removing pars after molding, problems such as adhesion of cutting debris and foreign matter occur.

(4)使用時において、止栓に注射針を差込み、注射液
の出入れを行なう場合、針差しの抵抗が大きく作業性に
難がおる。
(4) During use, when a syringe needle is inserted into the stopper and the injection solution is taken in and out, the resistance to inserting the needle is large, making workability difficult.

(5)止栓への注射針の差込み、扱取りに際しゴムの一
部が欠損する、いわゆるコアリング現象が起り、注射液

(5) When inserting and handling the injection needle into the stopper, a so-called coring phenomenon occurs in which a portion of the rubber is broken off, and there is a problem in that the broken pieces of rubber are mixed into the injection solution as foreign matter. Another problem is that the injection solution leaks from the stopper after the injection needle is handled.

(6)加硫ゴムは、成型後にその構造体の一部を再成型
することができないため、製剤設計の支障になっている
(6) Vulcanized rubber cannot be partially remolded after being molded, which poses a problem in formulation design.

It has good moldability, does not require cleaning after molding, and is easy to insert the injection needle, causing coring phenomenon when inserting the injection needle and handling, and leakage of injection solution after removal.

The monovinyl M-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon monomer constituting the polymer block A represented by the general formula of component (a) above includes various monomers, particularly styrene, α
- Methylstyrene is preferred. The conjugated diene monomer of the polymer block B having the same general formula is preferably butadiene or isoprene, and a mixture of both may be used. When butadiene is used as a single conjugated diene monomer to form polymer block B, the 1,2-microstructure in the microstructure of the polybutadiene is 20 to 50% in order to maintain elastomer properties. It is preferable to adopt polymerization conditions such that the 1.2-microstructure is 35

The molecular weights of the polymer block A and polymer block B are the most important in constituting component (a). The lower limit of the molecular weight of both polymer blocks ASB (15000, 6
0000), when evaluated as a stopper, the heat resistance during the steam sterilization process will be poor, the stopper will come off from the container, the stopper will be greatly deformed, and furthermore, the mechanical strength and compression set will be poor, and the core Ring phenomenon and injection liquid leakage phenomenon occur. On the other hand, if both polymer blocks A and B deviate from the upper limits of their molecular weights (60,000, 180,000), the molecular weight becomes too large, which impedes moldability, which is one of the greatest characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers, and short shot , causing various problems such as delamination and gelation. The preferred molecular weight of such polymer block A is 200
The preferred molecular weight of polymer block B is in the range of 90,000 to 150,000.

The softener as the above component (b>) is a mixture of a synthetic softener and a petroleum-based softener in a specific ratio.Synthetic softeners include synthetic resins, low molecular weight polymers, synthetic plasticizers, etc. However, the synthetic softeners used in the present invention are preferably polyisobutylene and polybutene, which are classified as low molecular weight polymers.Polyisobutylene can be easily obtained by the conventional method of polymerizing isoprene. The viscosity average molecular weight is 15,000 to 700.
A value of about 00 is preferable. Further, polybutene is mainly composed of isobutylene and partially copolymerized with n,-butene, and has a 40'C kinematic viscosity of 200 to 3500 centistokes and an average molecular weight of about 500 to 4000. Polybutene and polyisobutylene can each be used alone, but they may also be used in any combination.

On the other hand, in a paraffin rubber softener used as a petroleum softener, the number of carbon atoms in the paraffin chain accounts for 50% or more of the total number of carbon atoms. By the way, mineral oil-based rubber softeners called process oils or extender oils, which are generally used to soften rubber, increase volume, improve processability, etc., contain aromatic rings,
It is a mixture of naphthene rings and n-paraffin chains. Among these, the number of carbon atoms in the naphthene ring is 30 to 45
% is called naphthenic type, and those with more than 30% aromatic carbon number are called aromatic type. Softeners other than paraffin-based rubber softeners used in the present invention have poor compatibility and dispersibility with the above component (a), deteriorate mechanical properties, and have a strong odor, making them unsuitable as stopper components. Such a paraffin rubber softener has a kinematic viscosity of 20 to 500 centistokes at 37.8°C and a flash point of 1.
Those exhibiting a temperature of 70 to 300'C are suitable.

The present invention mixes the above-mentioned synthetic softener and petroleum softener,
It is characterized by the fact that in some cases, only synthetic softeners are used. That is, when only a paraffin-based rubber softener, which is a petroleum-based softener, is used, compared to the softener of the present invention, the amount of eluates eluted from the material, especially colloidal fine particles (0
, 5 μm to 200 μm) was found to elute over time. In other words, when manufacturing a stopper for injections using only a paraffin-based rubber softener, it is necessary to cover and protect a part of the stopper with some other material. No such need arises with the softeners.

The blending ratio of the softener needs to be 80 to 250 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of component (a). The reason for this is that if the amount of the softener is less than 80 parts by weight, the flexibility and rubber elasticity will decrease, causing leakage of the injection solution, and the fluidity will decrease, resulting in poor appearance of the final product. This will impede moldability. On the other hand, if the amount of softener exceeds 250 parts by weight, the softener is likely to bleed out, causing the stopper to become sticky, and the compression set properties will deteriorate, causing problems such as leakage of the injection solution. It causes

The olefin resin of the above component (C) includes ethylene, proprene, butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1,
It is a crystalline resin obtained by polymerizing α-olefins such as 1,4-methylpentene-1, either alone or in copolymerization, by a conventional method. Among these, particularly preferred as component (C) are crystalline propylene homopolymers and crystalline propylene-ethylene random or block copolymers. The blending amount of such olefin resin is as follows:
>100 parts by weight, it is necessary to use 20 to 80 parts by weight. The reason for this is that when the amount of polymer resin is less than 20 parts by weight, moldability is poor and poor appearance (occurrence of weld lines and delamination) occurs. On the other hand, if the amount of the polymer resin exceeds 80 parts by weight, the hardness of the stopper becomes too high, and the insertion resistance of the injection needle increases, causing problems in workability.

In order to prepare the thermoplastic elastomer composition consisting of the above components (a), (b) and (C), for example, a single screw extruder,
A method using a general melt mixer such as a twin-screw extruder, a Banbury type internal mixer, or various kneaders is adopted. The temperature at which the wires are crossed is preferably the melting temperature of the olefin resin of component (C), for example, in the range of about 150 to 250°C. Regarding the time, when an extruder is used, the general residence time of the machine is preferred, and when an internal mixer is used, it is preferably about 5 to 20 minutes. In addition, when manufacturing the Hoki composition, various stabilizers such as heat stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, anti-gamma ray stabilizers, etc., according to sterilization methods, as well as talc, calcium carbonate, glass, A filler such as an inorganic filler such as mica or carbon black or a coloring agent may be added depending on the purpose. for example,
Addition of plate-like fillers such as talc and mica can improve the gas barrier properties of the material.

The hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer composition (JIS-6
The reason for limiting the hardness to 301) is that if the hardness is less than 30, not only will the injection agent leak after the inserted injection needle is removed, but the appearance of the product will deteriorate and the mechanical strength will also decrease. do. On the other hand, if the hardness of the composition exceeds 60, it will not only be difficult to insert the injection needle, but also cause leakage of the injection solution after the injection needle is removed. A stopper for injections is manufactured from such a thermoplastic elastomer composition by a conventional molding method, but the stopper may be composed entirely of the composition, or may be formed by laminating or combining parts.
