Abstract

Disclosed is an impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin, comprising a powder of a graft copolymer (A) obtained by graft polymerizing one or more kinds of vinyl monomers (b1) onto a polyorganosiloxane rubber (A1) or a composite rubber (A2) containing a polyorganosiloxane rubber and a polyalkyl(meth)acrylate rubber, wherein the specific surface area of the powder of the graft copolymer (A) measured by a nitrogen gas adsorption method is from 0.6 to 30 m 2 /g, and the pH of water used for extraction under conditions, in which (1) in an oven at 180° C., 5.0 g of the powder of the graft copolymer (A) is left to stand still and heated for 15 minutes, and (2) after the heating, the powder is dispersed in 100 ml of heated pure water and extracted for 1 hour at 70° C. while stirring, is from 4 to 11.

Claims (29)

1. An impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin,

wherein the impact strength modifier comprises a powder of a graft copolymer (A) obtained by graft polymerizing one or more vinyl monomers (b1) onto a polyorganosiloxane rubber (A1) or a composite rubber (A2) containing a polyorganosiloxane rubber and a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate rubber, and

wherein

a specific surface area of the powder of the graft copolymer (A) measured by a nitrogen gas adsorption method is from 0.6 to 30 m 2 /g and

water used for extraction under the following conditions (1) and (2) is at a pH of from 4 to 11:

(1) in an oven at 180° C., 5.0 g of the powder of the graft copolymer (A) is left to stand still and heated for 15 minutes, and

(2) after the heating, the powder is dispersed in 100 ml of water and extracted for 1 hour at 70° C. while stirring,

wherein a gelation time of the powder of the graft polymer (A) measured under the following conditions is 215 seconds or less;

<Preparation of formulation>

(a) 100 parts by mass of a vinyl chloride resin with an average polymerization degree of 1050 and an average particle size of 150 μm,

(b) 6.0 parts by mass of the powder of the graft copolymer (A),

(c) 3.0 parts by mass of a CaZn-based stabilizer,

(d) 5.0 parts by mass of calcium carbonate with a primary particle size of 50 nm and a fatty acid as a surface treatment agent, and

(e) 5.0 parts by mass of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) of 93%, with an average particle size of 0.25 μm, and an oil absorption of 21,

are blended, and in a 20 L Henschel mixer mounted a Z blade and a flat blade and heated to 40° C.,

are hot blended at a frequency of 65 Hz until the internal temperature thereof reaches 110° C. to obtain a formulation:

<Measurement condition>

(1) the inside of the measuring device is heated to 180° C.,

(2) into the measuring device, 77.55 cc of the formulation is introduced, maintained for 5 minutes, and kneaded at a rotation number of rotor of 30 rpm,

(3) the time required from the start of kneading to the point at which the maximum torque is exhibited is measured as the gelation time.

2. The impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin according to claim 1 , wherein the powder of the graft copolymer (A) is obtained by spray drying latex of the graft copolymer (A).

3. The impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin according to claim 1 , wherein a content of an emulsifier having a thermal decomposition temperature measured by a TG/DTA measuring device of less than 200° C. is 0.1 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the modifier (α), and the emulsifier is either an anionic emulsifier or a nonionic emulsifier other than a salt of sulfuric acid ester.

4. The impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin according to claim 1 , wherein the impact strength modifier further comprises at least one kind of emulsifier selected from the group consisting of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium alkyl diphenyl ether disulfonate, sodium dialkylsulfosuccinate and a polyoxyethylene distyrenated phenyl ether.

5. The impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of an organosiloxane contained in the powder of the graft copolymer (A) is 0.4% by mass or less.

6. The impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl monomer (b1) is at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of an aromatic alkenyl compound, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and a vinyl cyanide compound.

7. A chlorine-containing resin composition, comprising the impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin according to claim 1 and a chlorine-containing resin (β).

8. The chlorine-containing resin composition according to claim 7 , wherein the composition contains the impact strength modifier (α) for a chlorine-containing resin at from 0.1 to 30 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the chlorine-containing resin (β).

9. A molded body obtained by molding the chlorine-containing resin composition according to claim 7 .

10. A molded body obtained by molding the chlorine-containing resin composition according to claim 8 .
