Abstract

A window 30 is a two-color molding comprising a transparent section 32 and a frame section 31 integrated with the transparent section 32 , the frame section 31 and the transparent section 32 are formed with a first material and a second material respectively, and the first material is a thermoplastic resin with the linear thermal expansion coefficient in the MD direction lower by 1×10 −5 to 3×10 −5 (mm/(mm.K)) than that of the second material, and also with the MD/TD ratio for the linear thermal expansion coefficient in the range from 0.6 to 1.

Claims (10)

1. A two-color molding comprising a transparent section and a frame section integrated with the transparent section, wherein said frame section and said transparent section are formed with a first material and a second material respectively, and said first material is a thermoplastic resin with the linear thermal expansion coefficient in a MD direction lower by 1×10−5 to 3×10−5 (mm/(mm.K)) than that of said second material, and also with a MD/TD ratio for the linear thermal expansion coefficient in the range from 0.6 to 1.

2. The two-color molding according to claim 1 , wherein said first material comprises polycarbonate in the range from 40 to 90% by weight, a polyester-based resin and/or a styrene-based rubber-like elastic body copolymer resin in the range from 10 to 60% by weight, an inorganic filler in the range from 5 to 20% by weight, and core-shell type graft rubber-like elastic body in the range from 0 to 20% by weight, 100% by weight in all, and said second material is polycarbonate.

3. The two-color molding according to claim 1 , wherein said first material comprises polycarbonate in the range from 50 to 90% by weight, a polyester-based resin in the range from 10 to 40 weight %, an inorganic filler in the range from 5 to 20% by weight, and core-shell type graft rubber-like elastic body in the range from 0 to 20% by weight, 100% by weight in all, and said second material is polycarbonate.

4. The two-color molding according to claim 1 , wherein said first material comprises polycarbonate in the range from 40 to 90% by weight, a styrene-based rubber-like elastic body copolymer resin in the range from 10 to 60 weight %, an inorganic filler in the range from 5 to 20% by weight, and core-shell type graft rubber-like elastic body in the range from 0 to 20% by weight, 100% by weight in all, and said second material is polycarbonate.

5. The two-color molding according to claim 2 , wherein said inorganic filler is talc.

6. The two-color molding according to claim 2 , wherein said inorganic filler is glass fiber and is contained in said first material in the range from 5 to 15% by weight.

7. A window for a car, wherein said window is formed with the two-color molding according to claim 1 .

8. A method for molding the two-color molding according to claim 1 , said method comprising the steps of:

injecting said first material into a cavity to form said frame section, and

injecting said second material into the cavity to form said transparent section.
