FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to specific automotive interior materials and automotive interior moldings using such materials. More specifically, it relates to an automobile interior material comprising polypropylene, an olefin-based copolymer rubber and an inorganic filler, and an automobile interior molded article using such a material.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, ethylene-propylene block copolymers have been used as molding materials for automobile parts.
This ethylene-propylene block copolymer has a good balance of flexural modulus, heat distortion temperature, and impact strength, but has drawbacks such as low low-temperature impact strength for automobile bumpers. To improve the low temperature impact resistance, it is known to blend an ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber or the like with a propylene-ethylene block copolymer.
No. 2552, No. 53-40045, etc. However, since the ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber is compounded, the thermal properties such as flexural modulus and heat distortion temperature are inferior, and in order to solve this, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, mica, crystalline calcium silicate and talc are further added. The addition of an inorganic filler such as

In recent years, a resin composition having improved flexural modulus, surface hardness and the like by increasing the isotactic pentad fraction of the propylene homopolymer portion of polypropylene or ethylene-propylene block copolymer is disclosed in JP-A-5-59251. , The same 5-23
It is proposed in Japanese Patent No. 0321. Further, it has been proposed in JP-B Nos. 36-11240, 38-2126, and 41-21785 that the impact resistance is improved by blending a vulcanized rubber with an olefin plastic. However, when vulcanized rubber is blended, the fluidity is lowered and the appearance is apt to be deteriorated. Therefore, a mineral oil-based softening agent or a peroxide non-crosslinking rubber-like substance is blended to improve the fluidity. 15740 and 5
It is proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-15743. Further, as a material having a good balance of impact strength and rigidity, JP-A-6-
145437 has been proposed. However, recently, further improvement in heat resistance rigidity has been demanded. However, low temperature impact resistance and heat resistance are contradictory performances,
In the conventional technology, there is a limit in improving the heat resistance rigidity without impairing the low temperature impact resistance.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Under the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to use a specific polypropylene and improve the low temperature impact resistance and the heat resistance rigidity of an automobile interior material and an automobile interior molded article using such a material. In particular, it is to provide injection molded products.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have continued research on improving impact resistance and heat resistance by dispersing an olefin copolymer rubber in polypropylene. As a result, a mixture of polypropylene and an olefinic copolymer rubber was dynamically heat treated in the presence of an organic peroxide and a cross-linking auxiliary agent, and melt-mixed with a specific polypropylene and an inorganic filler to obtain a low temperature resistance. We found that impact resistance and heat resistance can be improved at the same time,
The present invention has been completed. That is, in the present invention, the homopolymer of (I) (a) propylene and / or the ethylene-propylene block copolymer (provided that the homopolymerization portion of propylene has an isotactic pentad fraction of 0.98 or more). ) 10 to 15% by weight of a mixture of 10 to 50% by weight and (b) 50 to 90% by weight of an olefin copolymer rubber, which is dynamically heat-treated in the presence of an organic peroxide and a crosslinking aid. And (II) propylene homopolymer and / or ethylene-propylene block copolymer (provided that the isotactic pentad fraction of the homopolymerized portion of propylene is 0.

It is 50 g / 10 min. ) 71 to 84% by weight, and (III) inorganic filler 6 to 14% by weight.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to a molded article for automobile interior, which uses such a material.

The present invention will be described in detail below. The (a) propylene homopolymer and / or ethylene-propylene block copolymer used in the present invention means a propylene homopolymer, that is, a propylene homopolymer, or an ethylene-propylene block copolymer, that is, a propylene homopolymer. The latter is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene. These may be used alone or in combination. The isotactic pentad fraction of the homopolymerized portion of propylene needs to be 0.98 or more.
If it is less than 0.98, it is difficult to obtain the rigidity and heat resistance required for the purpose of the present invention. The homopolymerized portion of propylene means a homopolymer of propylene, and ethylene-

% By weight. The melt index of such polymers is 1
The one having 1 to 30 g / 10 min is preferably used, and more preferably 12 to 20 g / 10 min. If the melt index is less than 11 g / 10 min, the fluidity of the composition will decrease. If it exceeds 30g / 10min,
This causes deterioration of mechanical properties.

The term "isotactic pentad fraction" as used herein means A. Zambelli et al., Macrom

In the ethylene-propylene block copolymer, the weight ratio X of the ethylene-propylene copolymer part to the whole block copolymer is such that the propylene homopolymerized part and the whole block copolymer have respective crystals. By measuring the heat of fusion, it can be calculated by the following equation. X = 1- (ΔHf) _T / (ΔHf) _P (ΔHf) _T : heat of fusion of the entire block copolymer (c
al / g) (ΔHf) _P : heat of fusion of homopolymerized portion of propylene (cal / g) The ethylene content is determined by the characteristics of the methyl group and the methylene group appearing in the infrared absorption spectrum measured by making a press sheet. By a calibration curve method using the absorbance of absorption. The ethylene content of the ethylene-propylene copolymer portion can be calculated by measuring the ethylene content of the entire block copolymer and calculating from the following equation. (C ₂ ') _EP = (C ₂ ') _T / X (C ₂ ') _T : ethylene content (% by weight) of the entire block copolymer (C ₂ ') _EP : ethylene of ethylene-propylene copolymer part Content (% by weight)

On the other hand, the olefin copolymer rubber (b) used in the present invention is a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin or a terpolymer of ethylene, α-olefin and non-conjugated diene. . As the α-olefin, propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1, heptene-1, octene-1 and the like are used, and among them, propylene and butene-1 are preferable. Examples of the non-conjugated diene include chain non-conjugated dienes such as 1,4-hexadiene and 1,6-octadiene; 1,4-cyclohexadiene, dicyclopentadiene, 5-vinylnorbornene, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene. Cyclic non-conjugated dienes such as; 2,3-diisopropylidene-5-norbornene, 2-ethylidene-3-isopropylidene-5-
Trienes such as norbornene are mentioned, among which 1,
4-hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene and 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene are preferred. As the (b) olefin-based copolymer rubber, these are 2
It does not prevent you from using more than one kind.

(B) The ethylene content of the olefinic copolymer rubber is 90 to 40% by weight, and the α-olefin content is 10%.
~ 60% by weight and non-conjugated diene content 0-12% by weight
Is. When the ethylene content is 90% by weight or more, the ethylene component is increased, so that the copolymer rubber exhibits crystallinity, and as a result, the low temperature impact resistance is lowered. If it is less than 40% by weight, the decomposition reaction by the organic peroxide proceeds too much, resulting in deterioration of mechanical properties and poor appearance of the molded product. The ethylene content is preferably 80-45% by weight. When the content of non-conjugated diene is 12% by weight or more, it becomes difficult to control the crosslinking reaction. Further, the (b) olefin-based copolymer rubber has a Mooney viscosity (ML _{1 + 4} 100 ° C.) of 100 ° C. of 10 to 100, preferably 2
It is necessary to be 0 to 80. When the Mooney viscosity at 100 ° C. is less than 10, mechanical properties are inferior, and when it exceeds 100, fluidity is inferior, resulting in poor appearance of the injection-molded product.

(B) Olefin-based copolymer in 100% by weight of a mixture of (a) propylene homopolymer and / or ethylene-propylene block copolymer in the present invention and (b) olefin-based copolymer rubber. The proportion of the united rubber is 50 to 90% by weight, preferably 60 to 80
% By weight. If it is less than 50% by weight, the crosslinking reaction by the organic peroxide does not proceed sufficiently and the mechanical properties are not improved. If it exceeds 90% by weight, thermoplastic properties are difficult to develop.

Examples of the organic peroxide used in the present invention include 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di (t-butylperoxy) hexane and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di (t).
-Butylperoxy) hexyne-3,1,3-bis (t
-Butylperoxyisopropyl) benzene, 1,1-
Examples include di (t-butylperoxy) -3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexane, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di (peroxybenzoyl) hexyne-3 and dicumyl peroxide, which are not particularly limited. Can be appropriately selected depending on the melt-kneading conditions. The addition ratio of organic peroxide is
0.02 to 1.0 with respect to 100% by weight of (a) + (b)
It can be selected in the range of parts by weight. If it is less than 0.02% by weight, the effect of the crosslinking reaction is small, and if it exceeds 1.0% by weight, it is difficult to control the crosslinking reaction.

Examples of the crosslinking aid used in the present invention include bismaleimide compounds such as N, N'-m-phenylene bismaleimide, toluylene bismaleimide, and p-
Polyfunctional compounds such as quinone dioxynium, nitrobenzene, diphenyl guanidine, trimethylol propane, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate can be used. N, N'-m-phenylene bismaleimide is
For example, commercially available Sumi Fine BM (Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.), HV
A-2 (manufactured by DuPont) or the like can be used. The addition ratio can be selected in the range of 0.01 to 5.0% by weight with respect to 100% by weight of (a) + (b).
If it is less than 0.01% by weight, the effect on cross-linking is difficult to be exhibited, and if it exceeds 5.0% by weight, moldability is poor. It is preferably 0.05 to 2.0% by weight.

The heat-treated product of the present invention (sometimes called a dynamic heat-treated product) is (a) a homopolymer of propylene and / or
Or ethylene-propylene block copolymer (b)
It is obtained by dynamically heat-treating an olefin-based copolymer rubber in the presence of the above organic peroxide and a crosslinking aid. In the present invention, the method for dynamically performing heat treatment is 1
Melt kneading can be carried out in a temperature range of 60 to 280 ° C. by using known kneading equipment such as a mixing roll, a Banbury mixer, a twin-screw kneading extruder, a kneader and a continuous mixer. In this case, it is more desirable to carry out in an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide.

In the present invention, it is preferable not to use a mineral oil-based softener used for improving the fluidity and appearance of a usual thermoplastic elastomer composition in the dynamically heat-treated product. This is because the mineral oil-based softening agent reduces rigidity and heat resistance and thus does not meet the purpose of the present invention.

Next, the (II) propylene homopolymer and / or ethylene-propylene block copolymer used in the present invention which is mixed with (I) a heat-treated product means a propylene homopolymer, that is, a propylene homopolymer. Or an ethylene-propylene block copolymer, that is, a copolymer of ethylene and propylene after homopolymerization of propylene. These may be used alone or in combination.
The ethylene content of the ethylene-propylene copolymer portion in the ethylene-propylene block copolymer is 20 to 70.
% By weight, preferably 25-60% by weight. The isotactic pentad fraction of the homopolymerized portion of propylene needs to be 0.98 or more. 0.98
If it is less than the above range, it is difficult to obtain the rigidity and heat resistance required for the purpose of the present invention. The melt index of the homopolymerized portion of propylene needs to be 30 to 150 g / 10 min. If it is less than 30 g / 10 min, fluidity is low, and if it exceeds 150 g / 10 min, mechanical properties are deteriorated. The homopolymerized portion of propylene of the ethylene-propylene block copolymer can be obtained by taking out from the polymerization tank after the homopolymerization of propylene during the production.

In the present invention, (I) a heat-treated product and (II)
Regarding the method of mixing with a propylene homopolymer and / or an ethylene-propylene block copolymer,
Melt-kneading can be performed by a known kneading machine as in the case of the dynamically heat-treated product. Incidentally, in carrying out the present invention, kneading may be carried out in two stages,
It is also possible to use a multi-stage feed type twin-screw kneader to perform one step.

The (III) inorganic filler used may be one that improves rigidity and heat resistance, and examples thereof include calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, mica, crystalline calcium silicate, talc and glass fiber. However, talc and glass fiber are particularly preferable. The talc preferably has an average particle size of 1 to 5 μm. If the average particle size is less than 1 μm, problems such as re-aggregation and poor dispersion occur. Further, when the average particle size is 5 μm or more, there is little effect on improving impact resistance and rigidity. As the glass fiber, chopped glass having a fiber diameter of 4 to 13 μm, which is surface-treated with a silane coupling agent, is preferably used.

The contents of (I), (II) and (III) in the final composition are 10 to 15% by weight, 71 to 84% by weight, respectively.
6 to 14% by weight, preferably 11 to 14 respectively
% By weight, 74-81% by weight, 8-12% by weight. If the heat-treated product (I) is less than 10% by weight, low-temperature impact resistance is inferior, and if it exceeds 15% by weight, fluidity is deteriorated, resulting in poor appearance of the molded product. If the content of the inorganic filler (III) is less than 6% by weight, the effect of improving rigidity and heat resistance is small, and the amount is 14% by weight.
If it exceeds, the fluidity will decrease.

In the present invention, the mixing of the inorganic filler (III) can be carried out in the same manner as in the above kneading machine, and a mixture comprising (I) and (II) is obtained in advance and then (III) is mixed. Alternatively, the heat-treated product (I) of (a) or (b) is added to (II)
A method in which (III) is mixed at the same time when the above are mixed can be adopted. Usually, a method is used in which (II) and (III) are simultaneously added to and mixed with the heat-treated product (I) of (a) and (b).

The thermoplastic resin composition comprising the above (I) to (III) according to the present invention further comprises a heat stabilizer, a nucleating agent, an ultraviolet absorber, a lubricant, as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired.
Antistatic agents, flame retardants, pigments, dyes, other polymers and the like may be contained.

The thermoplastic resin composition thus obtained is
It has excellent low-temperature impact resistance and heat resistance rigidity and is suitable for use as a molding material for automobile interiors. Such a molding material has a melt index of 15 to 40 g / 10 min, a large bending elastic modulus, a high heat resistance rigidity (HDT), a high impact resistance, and an excellent balance.

The molding material for automobile interiors of the present invention can be molded into automobile interiors such as pillars and door trims by molding by a generally known method.
