Abstract

The method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin of the present disclosure enable manufacture of a film of which yellow index is low and durability is enhanced, when a film for lamination is manufactured, by advancing acetalization reaction of a polyvinyl alcohol resin and a butanal in the presence of a hydroxy butyric acid.

Claims (13)

1. A method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin comprising:

a reaction step of reacting i) a polyvinyl alcohol resin, ii) a butanal, and iii) a hydroxy butyric acid, thereby producing a polyvinyl butyral resin composition of which butyral conversion rate is 77% or more.

2. The method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin of claim 1 ,

wherein the reaction step comprises a preparation process of preparing a composition for reaction comprising i) the polyvinyl alcohol resin, ii) the butanal, and iii) the hydroxy butyric acid; and

an acetalization process of preparing the polyvinyl butyral resin composition by advancing acetalization reaction of the composition for reaction.

3. The method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin of claim 2 ,

wherein the composition for reaction comprises the hydroxy butyric acid in an amount of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight based on the butanal in an amount of 10 parts by weight.

4. The method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin of claim 2 ,

wherein the amount of residual butanal is decreased by 5 mol % or more compared to producing polyvinyl butyral resin with a composition for reaction not comprising a hydroxy butyric acid.

5. The method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin of claim 1 ,

wherein the hydroxy butyric acid is any one selected from the group consisting of beta-hydroxy butyric acid, gamma-hydroxy butyric acid, and compositions thereof.

6. The method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin of claim 1 , further comprising a washing step after the reaction step, and the washing step is once or more washing with a washing solution having a weight ratio of 5 to 10 with respect to the polyvinyl butyral resin,

wherein the polyvinyl butyral resin composition after the washing step comprises a hydroxy butyric acid in an amount of 0.01 wt % or less.
