【表】DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved transparent polypropylene resin composition, and in particular to food containers and packaging materials and medical instruments, which prevent the transparency agent from escaping into water or hot water. The present invention relates to a polypropylene resin composition useful for, etc. As a method for improving the transparency of polypropylene-based resins, JP-A-53-117044 describes adding 1,3,2,4-di(methylbenzylidene) sorbitol (hereinafter simply referred to as sorbitol) to polypropylene or its copolymer.
It has been proposed to blend DMBS (abbreviated as DMBS) and heat-form it. On the other hand, it can be used as a chlorine scavenger in the catalyst residue of polypropylene resins, to improve the fluidity of the resins, to improve the releasability from molds, and as a dispersant for other additives and pigments. Generally, metal salts of higher fatty acids such as calcium stearate and zinc stearate are added as stabilizers or lubricants. However, DMBS, the above-mentioned clarifying agent, is used in polypropylene resins.
When a metal salt of a higher fatty acid as a lubricant or stabilizer is used in combination, the resulting polypropylene resin composition is resistant to water, hot water, or steam.
Since DMBS is easily washed away or escaped, it not only causes health and safety problems particularly in the fields of food containers and packaging materials and medical equipment, but also has the disadvantage of impairing the long-term sustainability of transparency. As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems of polypropylene resin compositions using DMBS, the present inventors discovered that a specific compound can be mixed into a mixture of polypropylene resin and DMBS, and the present invention I have come to propose this. That is, the present invention provides polypropylene resin, 1.
This is a polypropylene resin composition consisting of 3,2,4 di(methylbenzylidene) sorbitol and calcium lactate. The resin composition of the present invention can completely prevent elution or escape of DMBS from conventional DMBS-blended products simply by blending calcium lactate without blending the conventionally known metal salts of higher fatty acids. Furthermore, these compositions do not impair the moldability, fluidity, mold releasability, thermal stability, etc. of conventionally known products containing higher fatty acid metal salts. The polypropylene resin used in the present invention is a propylene homopolymer, or one or more of polypropylene with a propylene content of 70% by weight or more and ethylene, butene, pentene, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, etc. A copolymer consisting of
and blends of these polymers. 1,3,2,4-di(methylbenzylidene) sorbitol used in the present invention is a condensate of tolualdehyde and sorbitol, and any known method for producing the same can be used without particular limitation. The blending ratio of the above resin composition may be appropriately selected depending on the application, but in particular, polypropylene resin
It is preferable to mix 0.01 to 1 part by weight of DMBS and 0.01 to 1 part by weight of calcium lactate to 100 parts by weight, since the effects of the present invention are exhibited very markedly. The resin composition of the present invention may also contain antioxidants, antistatic agents, lubricants, dispersants, pigments, fluorescent agents, bactericides, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, metal deactivators, and Additives such as photodegradation inhibitors can also be added within a range that does not significantly reduce the effects of the present invention. A desired molded article can be obtained from the resin composition of the present invention by kneading and molding using conventional methods. The present invention will be specifically explained below based on Examples, but the present invention is not particularly limited to the Examples below. The measurement methods used in the following Examples and Comparative Examples are shown below. (1) Haze: Conforms to ASTM D1003-61 (measured on 3mm t of injection molded plate) (2) Elution test: Conforms to the medical device testing method announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. (However, the pellet dissolution test was conducted at 121℃-
(1 hour treatment, 100℃-24 hour treatment for injection molded plates) (3) Elution amount analysis: IR analysis method Put 40 g of sample (20-50 mg/granule pellets) into a glass container, add 200 ml of distilled water, and heat in a steam pot. Treatment at 121°C for 1 hour. Pre-adjusted fine powder CaCO 3 (average powder diameter 1 μ or less) in 50 ml of the eluate 10
Take 10mg from a blend of mg and KBr200mg,
IR analysis using KBr tablet method, 1020cm -1 log Io/I870
The intensity ratio of cm -1 log I 1 /I is calculated, and the elution amount (ppm) of the clarifying agent DMBS is determined from a calibration curve prepared in advance. Remarks 1020cm -1 : Characteristic absorption band of DMBS 870cm -1 : Characteristic absorption band of CaCO 3 (4) Molding test 100 continuous shots or more under general molding conditions (250℃) of 8oz injection molding machine, test piece (3mm t) ) was molded, and the comparative evaluation was mainly performed on the releasability from the mold. (5) Thermal stability test: Compliant with JIS K7212. 1/3 area deterioration time of 0.5mm T sheet in 150℃ oven. Examples 1-2 DMBS for 100 parts by weight of polypropylene resin
and calcium lactate in the amounts listed in Table 1 and thoroughly mixed in a Henschel mixer. The resulting mixture was pelletized using a 40 m/mφ extruder at a resin temperature of 260° C., and test pieces were injection molded. Next, the above-mentioned dissolution test was carried out using the obtained pellets, and the dissolution amount was analyzed. In addition, these pellets were melt press-molded into 0.5 mm sheets and a thermal stability test was conducted. The obtained injection test piece was submerged in water, and its haze level was measured before and after treatment at 100°C for 24 hours. All of these results are compared to the comparative example shown below.
The amount of DMBS eluted and the decrease in haze were significantly small, and the moldability and thermal stability were good. Comparative Examples 1 to 7 In Examples 1 to 2, when typical group metal salts of fatty acids were blended instead of calcium lactate,
The same procedure as in Examples 1 and 2 was carried out except that the ingredients were not blended. The conventionally known blended sample of DMBS and fatty acid group metal salt had a large amount of DMBS eluted and a large decrease in haze, and was inferior to Examples 1 and 2. On the other hand, the moldability and thermal stability of those without the mixture were poorer than those with the mixture. 【table】
