The present invention relates to a method of molding a polypropylene resin composition by a so-called thermoforming method of vacuum and pressure molding. Conventionally, thermoplastic resin sheets for thermoforming are
Polystyrene sheets, polyvinyl chloride sheets, and the like have been widely used, but these do not have sufficient heat resistance, oil resistance, and acid resistance as packaging materials. On the other hand, although polypropylene sheets have excellent heat resistance, oil resistance, and acid resistance, they have the disadvantage that they tend to sag during thermoforming, especially when using wide sheets of 600 mm or more. At present, it is not normally used because it causes significant sagging and wrinkles in the resulting product, and in severe cases, there is a risk that the sheet may come into contact with a heater and catch fire. Techniques for improving the sagging of polypropylene sheets during thermoforming include a general method of blending polypropylene resin with polyethylene resin;
A method using a composition formed by blending an inorganic filler and a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin with a polyolefin (JP-A-51-69553), a method using a composition formed by blending an inorganic filler and a silane-modified polyolefin into a polyolefin (JP-A-51-69553); Showa 52-15542)
etc. are known, but all of them were insufficiently effective. On the other hand, as a method for producing a polypropylene foam having high elasticity, 0.4 parts by weight of an organic peroxide such as dicumyl peroxide and 5 to 3 parts by weight of N,N'-
A method of producing a foam by mixing and heating a bismaleimide such as m-phenylene bismaleimide and a foaming agent is also known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 14027-1989, but this method can be carried out without using a foaming agent. Even if adopted, a polypropylene sheet with improved sagging during thermoforming cannot be obtained. On the other hand, methods for improving rigidity by adding various inorganic fillers to polypropylene have been proposed, for example, in JP-A-47
-39150, JP-A-48-45540, etc. The method of JP-A No. 47-39150 discloses a composition comprising polypropylene, a bismaleimide compound, and glass fiber, and the method of JP-A No. 48-45540 discloses a composition comprising polypropylene, mica, and a bismaleimide compound. These are aimed at improving the mechanical properties of a polypropylene resin composition obtained by adding a bismaleimide compound when an inorganic filler is added to polypropylene. There is no mention of solving the difficult technical problem of improving sagging during secondary processing such as thermoforming. When a sheet is manufactured from a composition consisting of polypropylene and an inorganic filler, and the resulting sheet is vacuum-formed or pressure-formed, the product is obtained by sagging during thermoforming in the same way as when the inorganic filler is not used as described above. causing wrinkles,
In extreme cases, there is a danger that the sheet may come into contact with the heater and cause a fire, so it is not normally used at present. Furthermore, when inorganic fillers are added, in addition to the above-mentioned sagging problem, the smoothness of products obtained by vacuum forming or pressure forming is poor, making it impossible to obtain products with good appearance and commercial value. In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies with the aim of providing a polypropylene sheet containing an inorganic filler that has significantly improved sagging during thermoforming. 1) Polypropylene resin 80 to 20 parts by weight, (2) Inorganic powder filler 20 to 80 parts by weight, (3) Bismaleimide 0.05 to 3 parts by weight based on polypropylene resin (4) Lubricant 0.1 to 1 part by weight based on polypropylene resin A method for obtaining a product that does not sag during thermoforming and has a good sheet surface smoothness by hot-air molding a sheet obtained by melt extrusion molding a polypropylene resin composition containing parts by weight. This discovery led to the invention of the present application. In the present invention, only 0.05 to 3 parts by weight of bismaleimide is added to the polypropylene resin without adding a substantially effective amount of organic peroxide. It is particularly necessary to melt-extrude a resin composition that does not contain substances that lower the molecular weight of polypropylene resin during processing at high temperatures of 200°C to 300°C, such as tin compounds, to obtain the polypropylene sheet of the present invention. It is. The polypropylene resin used in the present invention is not only a polypropylene homopolymer, but also a polypropylene-ethylene block or random copolymer. The bismaleimide compound used in the present invention is
general formula wherein R is aromatic or aliphatic. For example, N,N'-(methylene-di-P-phenylene) bismaleimide,
N,N'-m-phenylene) bismaleimide, N,
N'-hexamethylene bismaleimide, N,N'-
(oxy-di-P-phenylene) bismaleimide,
N,N'-(methylene-di-3-methyl-P-phenylene) bismaleimide and the like. In the present invention, the amount of bismaleimide added to 100 parts by weight of the polypropylene resin is in the range of 0.05 to 3 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 1 part by weight. If it is less than 0.05 parts by weight, the effect of improving sagging will not be sufficient, and if it is added more than 3 parts by weight, the melt index of the resin composition will be abnormally lowered, making extrusion molding of the sheet difficult, so it is preferable. do not have. In the present invention, known inorganic fillers added to powdered polypropylene such as talc, silica, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, etc. are used, and 20 to 80 parts by weight are mixed with 80 to 20 parts by weight of polyolefin. I can do that. Furthermore, in the present invention, 0.1 to 1 part by weight of a lubricant is added to 100 parts by weight of polyolefin. As lubricants, (1) saturated or unsaturated higher fatty acids with an abnormal number of 12 carbon atoms, such as stearic acid, myristic acid, arachic acid, etc., (2) saturated or unsaturated higher alcohols with an abnormal number of 12 carbon atoms, such as stearyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, etc.
(3) Esters derived from (1) or (2) above, such as ethyl stearate, butyl stearate, etc. (4) Fatty acids of (1) above and Li, Mg, Ca, Zn,
Examples include soaps with one metal selected from Al, PD, Cr, Mn, Sn, and Fe, (5) partial esters of fatty acids and polyhydric alcohols, stearic acid monoglyceride, oleic acid monoglyceride, and the like. In the present invention, the resin composition that does not contain a substantially effective amount of organic peroxide refers to the aforementioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-
an effective amount of organic peroxide as disclosed in 14027;
That is, the amount of organic peroxide is 0.4 parts by weight or less, and according to the findings of the present inventors, the effect of the method of the present invention is significantly inhibited even if the amount of organic peroxide is about 0.1 parts by weight, for example. It is something. In carrying out the present invention, bismaleimide is usually added to polypropylene resin by adding the compound together with additives for polypropylene resin such as an antioxidant and a hydrochloric acid catch agent, and after premixing with a Henschel mixer or the like, Using an extruder, e.g.
This is done by pelletizing at 210-270°C. Further, the inorganic filler may be added in any of the above steps. Sheeting using this resin composition is carried out by melt extrusion molding using an extruder, for example, at a resin temperature of 210 to 270°C, in the same way as sheeting of ordinary polypropylene resins. The sheet thus obtained is subjected to thermoforming such as vacuum forming and pressure forming. In thermoforming, the sheet is clamped and heated from the top, bottom, or top to 150 to 170°C using an infrared heater or ceramic heater, and then the sheet is shaped by suction from the mold or compressed air from the opposite side of the mold. Although it is molded,
The sheet according to the present invention exhibits significantly less sagging during heating than ordinary polypropylene sheets, is easy to thermoform, and can produce extremely clean thermoformed products with smooth surfaces. The polypropylene sheet of the present invention with improved sagging during thermoforming has less sagging during thermoforming compared to conventional polypropylene sheets, so the resulting product does not have wrinkles and can be molded well. can get. In particular, good products can be obtained from large molded products such as refrigerator door bags as well as polystyrene sheets and polyvinyl chloride sheets. The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 N,N'-(methylene- 3 parts by weight of di-P-phenylene) bismaleimide and 0.5 parts by weight of calcium stearate were mixed well in a Henschel mixer, and pelletized using an extruder with a screw diameter of 30 mm at a resin temperature of 240°C. Next, the pellets are placed in a dry hopper.
After drying at 100℃ for 3 hours, melt extrusion was performed using an extruder with a screw diameter of 40mm at a resin temperature of 250℃ to a thickness of 0.5mm.
A sheet with a width of 300 mm was manufactured. The sheet is 270×
After cutting the sheet to 270 mm and fixing it in a frame with an inner diameter of 250 x 250 mm, the upper and lower surfaces of the sheet were heated with an infrared heater at an ambient temperature of 210°C, and the tension time from when the sheet was stretched until it sagged was measured. In this case, the longer the sheet tension time, the better the thermoformability. The results are shown in Table 1.
