Polybutylene terephthalate resin composition
Provided is a polybutylene terephthalate resin composition which has further improved fluidity (melt fluidity) while maintaining mechanical characteristics. The polybutylene terephthalate resin composition contains 0.05-5 parts by mass of a glycerin fatty acid ester having a hydroxyl value of 200-400, and 0.05-5 parts by mass of a polyvalent alcohol fatty acid ester having a hydroxyl value of 100 or less, with respect to 100 parts by mass of a polybutylene terephthalate resin. The glycerin fatty acid ester preferably contains glycerin and/or a dehydration condensation product thereof, and a fatty acid having 12 or more carbon atoms.
1. A polybutylene terephthalate resin composition, comprising:
0.05 to 5 parts by mass of a glycerin fatty acid ester having a hydroxyl value of 200 or more to 400 or less;
0.05 to 5 parts by mass of a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester having a hydroxyl value of 50 or less relative to 100 parts by mass of a polybutylene terephthalate resin;
wherein the glycerin fatty acid ester comprises glycerin and/or a dehydration-condensation product thereof along with a fatty acid having 12 or more carbon atoms; and
the polyhydric alcohol of the polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester having a hydroxyl value of 50 or less is pentaerythritol, or erythritol.
2. The polybutylene terephthalate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polybutylene terephthalate resin has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.65 to 1.30 dl/g.
3. The polybutylene terephthalate resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polybutylene terephthalate resin has a melt viscosity of 200 Pas or less as measured in accordance with ISO11443 at a furnace temperature of 260° C. and a shear rate of 1000 sec −1 with a capillary φ1 mm×20 mmL.
