The stabilizer consisting essentially of the above four components (a) to (d) exhibits excellent effects in the prevention of the discoloration and the deterioration in physical properties of the chlorine-containing resin, both accompanying the thermal degradation caused when the resin is subjected to thermoforming, particularly powder molding or exposed to a high temperature atmosphere for a long period of time.

Description: This invention relates to a thermally stabilized chlorine-containing resin composition. More particularly, this invention relates to a chlorine-containing resin composition comprising a chlorine-containing resin and a stabilizer consisting essentially of an overbased alkaline earth metal salt, zeolite, calcium hydroxide and a complex of a metal perchlorate with a polyhydric alcohol or its derivative, said composition having excellent resistance to the discoloration and deterioration in physical properties of the chlorine-containing resin, both accompanying the thermal degradation of the resin caused when the resin is subjected to thermoforming or exposed to a high temperature atmosphere for a long period of time. When chlorine-containing resin compositions are subjected to thermoforming or when the molded articles of said compositions are exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time, they give rise to thermal degradation accompanied by dehydrochlorination, whereby discoloration and/or deterioration in physical properties of the resin are caused. In the case of the molded articles, the commercial value is reduced significantly. Hence, it has been conventional to add to chlorine-containing resins a stabilizer which is a combination of a salt of a carboxylic acid with a metal such as barium, zinc or the like with an organic ester of phosphorous acid, a phenolic antioxidant or the like to stabilize the chlorine-containing resins. Molded articles obtained from such stabilized chlorine-containing resin compositions have recently been used in large quantities as interior parts of automobiles. In the case of a molded article of a chlorine-containing resin composition with a soft resin formulation, a urethane is injected into the interior of the molded article or laminated onto the back side of the molded article and foamed for the purpose of making automobiles lighter, improving the impact resilience and hand of the molded article and enhancing the safety of drivers. The molded articles thus obtained are utilized as interior parts of automobiles. Such interior parts of automobiles have been produced by subjecting a resin composition to calendering or extrusion to obtain a sheet and then subjecting the sheet to vacuum forming. Therefore, the thermoforming conditions in this production are substantially the same as those in the production of general molded articles, and accordingly, the chlorine-containing resin compositions containing the above-mentioned known combination of stabilizing components are thermally stable enough under the thermoforming conditions. However, it has been difficult to form a complicated grain leather pattern on the surface of the above molded articles and even if the pattern can be formed the hand of the molded articles obtained is not satisfactory. Therefore, it has been designed to form a complicated grain leather pattern having an improved hand. Under such circumstances, powder molding methods have been employed in recent years to realize said improvement. The powder molding methods are disclosed in, for example, JP-A-60-161451, JP-A-61-91238 and US-A-4,659,764. In these prior art references, a molding method is adopted which comprises adding, to a chlorine-containing resin, a stabilizer, a platicizer, a pigment, etc., mixing them thoroughly with heating (so-called dry-blending) to obtain a resin composition in the powder form, sprinkling the powder form resin composition on a metal mold at a high temperature of 200-280°C by rotational powder molding or powder slush molding to fuse the powder particles, and cooling the fused product to obtain a molded article. The molded article for use as an interior part of automobiles obtained by the above powder molding has the advantage that the outermost layer thereof has a precise, complex, calm, leather-like pattern and hand. However, there are such problems that since, in the powder molding, a chlorine-containing resin composition in the powder form is sprinkled on a metal mold at a high temperature to fuse the powder particles without being beforehand subjected to kneading and gelation, a resin composition consisting of a chlorine-containing resin and a conventional amount of a conventional stabilizer tends to be thermally degraded with discoloration when it is subjected to the powder molding. Furthermore, there is a further problem that when the metal mold is repeatedly used in the powder molding of the above resin composition the molding surface of the metal mold is stained. In addition, the interior parts obtained by subjecting the molded article to integral molding with a urethane as a secondary processing are discolored when they are exposed to a high temperature of 80 - 130°C for 300 hours or more, resulting in deterioration of quality. In order to overcome the above severe thermal conditions in the powder molding, thermal stabilization of chlorine-containing resin with various stabilizers has so far been proposed. However, no sufficient stabilization is obtained and an improvement thereof has been desired. This invention aims at providing a chlorine-containing resin composition which has been thermally stabilized with a stabilizer and which has solved the technical problems of (1) thermal stabilization of a chlorine-containing resin composition in thermoforming, particularly powder molding under the severe thermal conditions, (2) staining of metal mold in repeated powder molding and (3) discoloration of an integrally molded article of said resin composition with a urethane when the article has been subjected to a high temperature for a long period of time. According to this invention, there is provided a thermally stabilized chlorine-containing resin composition comprising a chlorine-containing resin and a stabilizer consisting essentially of (a) an overbased alkaline earth metal carboxylate or phenolate complex, (b) zeolite, (c) calcium hydroxide and (d) a complex of at least one metal perchlorate selected from the group consisting of sodium, magnesium, calcium and barium perchlorates with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polyhydric alcohols and their derivatives.

The temperature of the resulting suspension was gradually elevated to 100°C while stirring the suspension, upon which the suspension became a solution. The solution thus formed was further heated gradually, whereby the reaction proceeded with mild heat generation. Then, the reaction mixture was distilled at 110°C under reduced pressure, to remove the calculated amount of water, thereby completing the reaction. As a result, 215 g of a yellow, transparent, liquid complex was obtained. Synthesis Example 2 The same procedure as in Synthesis Example 1 was repeated, except that 115 g (0.6 mole) of tripropylene glycol was substituted for the 120 g of diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, to obtain 210 g of a light yellow, transparent, liquid complex.

As a result, the complexes showed characteristic absorptions of Me(ClO₄) n at 1140-1060 cm⁻¹ and 630 cm⁻¹, and those of R(OH) p at 3600-3200 cm⁻¹. Also, the liquid complexes obtained in Synthesis Examples 1-6 were subjected to test for evaluation of dangerousness of unstable substances, by the following test method which is described in T. Yoshida, "Kagakuyakuhin no Anzen" (Safety of Chemicals), 1982: (a) Test for heat-generatability and stability by differential scanning colorimetry None of the liquid complexes obtained in Synthesis Examples 1-6 exhibited such behavior as heat generation or the like in a temperature range of 60-220°C and all of them were stable in the temperature range. (b) Dewar vessel test A storage test at constant temperature under heat accumulation conditions was conducted by storing a sample at a temperature of 150°C for 168 hours to evaluate its degradability under heat accumulation conditions. As a result, none of the liquid complexes obtained in Synthesis Examples 1-6 showed such behaviors as heat generation, thermal degradation and the like due to heat-accumulation. These test results indicated that none of the complexes obtained above had fear of heat generation, thermal degradation, etc. Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-5 In order to examine the thermal stability, processability, etc. of the chlorine-containing resin composition of this invention containing the stabilizer components (a) to (d), various tests were conducted using the following compounds: Formulation Vinyl chloride resin 100 parts by weight Plasticizer 60 parts by weight Epoxidized soybean oil 3 parts by weight Organic ester of phosphorons acid Stabilizer (See Table 1) 0.8 part by weight (See Table 1) Fine powder vinyl chloride resin for paste 15 parts by weight (1) Preparation of resin composition in the powder form Into a 20-liter Henschel mixer was charged 2,000 g of a vinyl chloride resin, and the number of revolutions of the mixer was set at 1,000 rpm. Then, the stabilizer was added to the resin in an amount as indicated in the above formulation, and the resulting mixture was stirred with heating. When the temperature reached 60°C, the epoxidized soybean oil and the plasticizer were added to the mixture in this order, and stirring was further effected with heating. The temperature of the resin composition reached 120°C, and the stirring (dry blending) was continued for 30 minutes at that temperature. The mixture in the Henschel mixer was cooled with water. At 40°C, 300 g of the fine powder vinyl chloride resin for paste was added to the cooled mixture, and stirring was effected for 5 minutes to obtain a vinyl chloride resin composition in the powder form. (2) Preparation of sheet A nickel-chrominum steel plate having a size of 300 mm x 300 mm x 1.5 mm (thickness) was heated in a Geer given at 240°C and then taken out. On the mirror surface of the plate, 200 g of the resin composition in the powder form prepared in (1) above was sprinkled in the form of a disc of 200 mm in diameter. The resin composition on the surface was allowed to stand for 10 seconds to fusion-bond particles of the resin to the plate. Then, the unbonded particles of the resin composition was wiped off. The plate with the fused resin was placed again in the Geer oven at 240°C for 50 seconds to melt the resin, after which the plate with the molten resin was taken out of the oven and immediately subjected to rapid cooling. A resin sheet of 200 mm in diameter and 0.75 mm in thickness was separated from the plate. This sheet was subjected to the following tests. Test 1 (a) The sheet was placed in a Geer oven at 260°C for a given period of time and then examined for the discoloration due to thermal degradation and the time taken until the sheet resin was decomposed to black. (b) The sheet was also examined for peelability from the plate and staining on the mirror surface of the plate (plate-out) when the sheet was separated from the plate. The results of Test 1 are shown in Table 2. (3) Integral molding with urethane foam The sheet obtained by the method of (2) above was set in a metal mold. On this sheet set in the metal mold was poured a starting mixture for urethane foam, obtained by stirring a polyol (EP-3033, a product of Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, Inc.) and a polyisocyanate (MDI-CR-200, a product of the same company) in a weight ratio of 10:7. The starting mixture for urethane foam was then foamed, to obtain an integrally molded article of 20 mm in thickness, consisting of a vinyl chloride sheet and an urethane foam. The molded article was subjected to the following test. Test 2 (a) The molded article was placed in a Geer oven heated at 120°C for a long period of time to examine the discoloration due to heat accumulation. When 200 hours elapsed in the course of the heating, blooming or bleeding was examined.
