• the resins of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 are obtained by determining the number of aluminum flake particles adhering to the transparent adhesive tape and ranking them based on the following criteria. It is possible to evaluate whether or not the composition can suppress mold contamination when injection molding using the heat and cool method is performed.
• A It is estimated that the number of aluminum flake particles is 3 or less, and mold contamination can be suppressed more sufficiently.
• B The number of aluminum flake particles is 4 to 10, and it is estimated that mold contamination can be suppressed.
• C It is estimated that the number of aluminum flake particles is 11 or more, and the suppression of mold contamination is insufficient.
• the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 3 and the resin molded product containing the same were injection-molded using a mold heated to at least 70 ° C. or higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin. In this case, the formation of weld lines can be prevented in the same manner as in the conventional (Comparative Examples 1 and 2) resin molded products. Further, according to Table 1, the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 3 and the resin molded product containing the same are injected using a mold heated to at least 70 ° C. or higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin. It is understood that when molding is performed, it is possible to suppress uneven distribution of aluminum flake particles on the surface of the molten resin as compared with Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, and thus mold contamination can be suppressed.
