Description: The present invention relates to a flameproof thermoplastic resin composition. More particularly, the present invention relates to a flameproof thermoplastic resin composition that comprises a rubber modified styrene-containing resin and a polyphenylene ether resin as a base resin, a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer containing from 5 to 18 % by weight of acrylonitrile as a compatibilizer, and an triphenyl phosphate as a flame retardant. A rubber modified styrene-containing resin has a good processability, a high impact strength, and a good appearance. Accordingly, the resin has been widely applied to electric appliances and office supplies. In case that a rubber modified styrene-containing resin is applied to personal computers, facsimiles, and the like, which emit heat, flame-retardant property should be given to the resin for inhibiting combustibility thereof. A widely known method for providing the flame retardancy is that halogen-containing compounds or antimony-containing compounds are added to a rubber modified styrene-containing resin to give flame-retardant property. The halogen-containing compounds used in the above method are, for example, polybromodiphenyl ether, tetrabromobisphenol A, epoxy compounds substituted by bromine, chlorinated polyethylene, etc. An antimony trioxide and an antimony pentaoxide are commonly used as antimony-containing compounds. The methods for improvement of flame-retardant property by applying halogen- or antimony-containing compound have advantages such as easy acquirement of the flame-retardant property and no deterioration of the physical properties. However, the disadvantages could be observed that the halogen-containing compound results in the corrosion of the mold itself by the hydrogen halide gases released during the molding process and is fatally harmful due to the toxic gases liberated in case of fire. Especially, since a polybromodiphenyl ether, mainly used for a halogen-containing flame retardant, can produce toxic gases such as dioxin or furan during combustion or incineration, flame retardants which are not prepared with halogen-containing compound have become a major concern in this field. It is commonly known a method to apply a phosphorus or nitrogen compound as halogen-free flame retardant to a resin composition. However, usage of only phosphorus compound deteriorates heat resistance of a rubber modified styrene-containing resin and does not impart sufficient flame retardancy. Generally, when a rubber modified styrene-containing resin such as ABS is burned, char is not produced due to decomposition and vaporization in most parts (Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1998, vol 68, p1067). Therefore, to impart an effect of flame retardancy, it is necessary to add a char-forming agent to a resin composition, which plays a role to prohibit entrance of oxygen and emission of fuel by forming char on the surface of rubber with three-dimensional carbon chain bonds during combustion. Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 7-48491 discloses a flameproof thermoplastic resin, made of adding a novolac phenolic resin and a phosphoric acid ester into a thermoplastic copolymer resin made from a rubber copolymer and an aromatic vinyl monomer. It was found that in order to obtain a good property of flame retardancy, a phenolic resin as a char-forming agent and a phosphoric acid ester compound as a flame retardant should be added in a lot of amount. However, in this case, the heat resistance of the resin composition is dropped drastically. U.S. patent application No. 09/233415 discloses a halogen-free flameproof resin composition having a good property of flame retardancy prepared by mixing a styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymer having from 5 to 18 % by weight of acrylonitrile as a compatibilizer, an aromatic phosphoric acid ester compound as a main flame-retardant and a phenolic resin as a further flame-retardant to improve flame-retardant property of a resin composition and adding the mixture to a base resin comprising a rubber-modified styrene-containing resin and a polyphenylene ether resin. Good mechanical properties as well as a good improvement of flame retardancy and heat resistance were obtained, however, a phenolic resin used as char-forming agent of ABS resin causes the degradation of heat stability and weatherability. The present inventors have found flameproof resin composition containing no phenolic resin in order to solve the above-mentioned problem. Generally, as the blend comprising an ABS resin and a polyphenylene ether resin have no compatibility each other, physical properties are degraded during extrusion processing to cause a poor property of mechanical strength. Accordingly, the present inventors have invented phenol-free flameproof thermoplastic resin composition which has a good property of mechanical strength by adding a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer or styrene-containing graft copolymer containing a particular amount of acrylonitrile therein as a compatibilizer, in order to impart compatibility to the blend comprising an ABS resin and a polyphenylene resin. An object of the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic resin composition which has good mechanical properties as well as good properties of flame retardancy, heat resistance and heat stability. Another object of the present invention is to provide a flameproof thermoplastic resin composition which does not contain halogen-containing compounds which causes the environmental pollution during preparation or combustion of the resin. A further object of the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic resin composition which contains no phenolic resin and imparts compatibility to a blend comprising an ABS resin and a polyphenylene resin by adding a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer or styrene-containing graft copolymer containing a particular amount of acrylonitrile as a compatibilizer. A further object of the present invention is to provide a flameproof thermoplastic resin composition which can obtain desirable properties by employing most widely used triphenyl phosphate of aromatic phosphoric acid ester compounds as a flame retardant. A flameproof thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention consists essentially of (A) 40 to 95 parts by weight of a rubber modified styrene-containing resin composed of (a 1 ) 20 to 100% by weight of a styrene-containing graft copolymer resin which contains 18 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile in the copolymer excluding rubber component and (a 2 ) 0 to 80% by weight of a styrene-containing copolymer which contains 18 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile; (B) 5 to 60 parts by weight of a polyphenylene ether resin; (C) 2 to 40 parts by weight of a styrene-containing copolymer or a styrene-containing graft copolymer which contains 5 to 18% by weight of an acrylonitrile in the copolymer excluding rubber component per 100 parts by weight of the sum of (A) and (B); and (D) 5 to 30 parts by weight of a triphenyl phosphate per 100 parts by weight of the sum of (A) and (B).

The rubber modified styrene-containing resin is composed of (a 1 ) 20 to 100% by weight of a styrene-containing graft copolymer resin which contains 18 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile in the copolymer excluding rubber component; and (a 2 ) 0 to 80% by weight of a styrene-containing copolymer which contains 18 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile. The present invention employs a rubber modified styrene-containing resin (A) and a polyphenylene ether resin (B) as a base resin. To improve compatibility between (A) and (B), a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer or a styrene-containing graft copolymer using a rubber (C) is added to the base resin. The styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer and the styrene-containing graft copolymer (C) contains 5 to 18% by weight of acrylonitrile in the copolymer excluding rubber component. A triphenyl phosphate (D) is added as flame retardant. The detailed descriptions of components of the resin composition according to the present invention are as follows: (A) Rubber Modified Styrene-containing Resin A rubber modified styrene-containing resin means that a styrene-containing graft copolymer resin such as ABS, and the graft copolymer resin may contain a styrene-containing copolymer resin such as SAN. In the rubber modified styrene-containing resin which is prepared of aromatic vinyl copolymers, rubber phase copolymers are dispersed in the form of particles in a matrix. The resin is prepared by mixing an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl group-containing monomer, which can be polymerized therewith, in the presence of a rubber phase polymer. Such rubber modified styrene-containing resin is prepared by a known method such as emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization or bulk polymerization, and is conventionally produced by an extrusion with a styrene-containing graft copolymer resin and a styrene-containing copolymer resin. In a bulk polymerization, both a styrene-containing graft copolymer resin and a styrene-containing copolymer resin are prepared together in one process.

In either case, the contents of rubber in a final rubber modified styrene-containing resin to the total weight of the base resin are preferably in the range of from 5 to 30% by weight. Examples of such resins are acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer resin, acrylonitrile-acryl rubber-styrene (AAS) copolymer resin, acrylonitrile-ethylenepropylene rubber-styrene (AES) copolymer resin, and the like. In the rubber modified styrene-containing resin, a styrene-containing graft copolymer resin can be used alone or in combination with a styrene-containing copolymer resin in consideration of compatibility thereof.

In addition, in order to give good characteristics of processability and heat resistance, the monomers such as acrylic acid, methacryl acid, maleic anhydride and N-substituted maleimide can be added in the graft polymerization. The amounts of the monomers are in the range of from 0 to 40% by weight based on the styrene-containing graft copolymer resin. To acquire good impact strength and appearance when the styrene-containing graft copolymer is prepared, the average size of rubber particles is preferably in the range of from 0.1 to 4 µm. (a 2 ) Styrene-containing Copolymer Resin The styrene-containing copolymer resin of the present invention is prepared by copolymerizing an aromatic vinyl group-containing monomer and a copolymerizable monomer, depending on the ratio and compatibility between monomers except rubber in the styrene-containing graft copolymer.

It is preferable that 18 to 50% by weight of the copolymerizable monomer per the total copolymer is employed. In addition, 0 to 40% by weight of a monomer such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic anhydride and N-substituted maleimide may be added and copolymerized thereto. In the present invention, the rubber modified styrene-containing resin (A) is composed of 20 to 100% by weight of a styrene-containing graft copolymer resin (a,) which contains 18 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile in the copolymer except rubber, and 0 to 80% by weight of a styrene-containing copolymer (a 2 ) which contains 18 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile. The rubber modified styrene-containing resin (A) is employed as a base resin along with a polyphenylene ether (B).

(C) Styrene-acrylonitrile Copolymer or Styrene-containing Graft Copolymer Resin Having from 5 to 18% by Weight of Acrylonitrile A styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer or styrene-containing graft copolymer is added to the base resin to improve compatibility between the rubber modified styrene-containing resin (A) and the polyphenylene ether resin (B). To prepare the styrene-containing graft copolymer, rubber is employed up to 60% by weight. The styrene-containing graft copolymer comprise 82 to 95 % by weight of a styrene and 5 to 18% by weight of acrylonitrile, except rubber.

To the ABS latex, 0.4 parts of sulfuric acid was added, coagulated and dried to obtain styrene-containing graft copolymer resin (g-ABS) in a powder form. (a 2 ) Styrene-containing Copolymer Resin (SAN with 25% by weight of acrylonitrile) 75 parts of styrene, 25 parts of acrylonitrile, 120 parts of deionized water and 0.2 parts of azobisisobutylonitrile were blended. To the blend, 0.4 parts of tricalciumphosphate and 0.2 parts of mercaptan-containing chain transfer agent were added. The resultant solution was heated to 80°C for 90 minutes and kept for 180 minutes. The resultant was washed, dehydrated and dried. Styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) having a weight average molecular weight of 180,000 was obtained. (B) Polyphenylene Ether Resin Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) ether with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.42 at chloroform solution was used. The particles had the average size of several microns (µ m). (C) Styrene-acrylonitrile Copolymer (SAN with 13 % by weight of AN) 87 parts of styrene, 13 parts of acrylonitrile, 120 parts of deionized water, 0.1 parts of azobisisobutylonitrile, 0.2 parts of 1,1'-di(tertiarybutylperoxy)-3,3',5-trimethylcyclohexane, 0.4 parts of tricalcium phosphate and 0.2 parts of mercaptan-containing chain transfer agent were blended. The blended solution was heated up to 80°C for 90 minutes and was kept it for 150 minutes. The solution was heated up to 95 °C again and kept for 120 minutes. The resultant was washed, dehydrated and dried. Styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) having a weight average molecular weight of 120,000 and 13% by weight of acrylonitrile component was obtained. (D) Triphenyl Phosphate (TPP) Triphenyl phosphate having a melting point of 48°C was used herein. (E) Phenolic Resin Novolac phenolic resin of PSM 4324 Grade of Japan Gunei Co. was used herein. The components to prepare flameproof thermoplastic resin compositions in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1∼2 are shown in Table 1.

The pellets were dried at 80°C for 3 hours and extruded into test specimens in a 6 oz. extruder at molding temperature of 220∼280°C and barrel temperature of 40∼80°C, and the resin pellets were molded into test specimens. Impact strengths of the test specimens of the Example and Comparative Examples were measured according to Izod impact strength ASTM D-256 (1/8" notched), heat distortion temperatures were measured under load of 4.6kg according to ASTM D-6498, and flame retardancy (1/10") was measured according to UL94 VB. Heat stability was evaluated on the basis of whether color difference(Δ E) between the test specimens was over 1 or whether black speck, black line, yellow line, and the like have been formed, when the test specimens are extruded at 250°C. The test results are presented in Table 2. Example Comparative Examples 1 1 2 Imact strength(1/8") (kg ·cm/cm) 25 7 20 heat deformation temp.(°C) 90 91 88 UL 94(1/10") V-1 V-1 V-1 heat stability good good bad A flameproof resin applied for commercial purpose should have Izod impact strength of more than 10, and show suitable heat deformation temperature and a good property of heat stability. As shown in Example 1, the resin composition of the present invention had a good impact strength due to styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer or styrene-containing graft copolymer (C) improving compatibility between ABS resin and polyphenylene ether. Further, flame retardancy, heat resistance, and heat stability were enhanced. When compared with impact strength of 25 obtained in Example 1, Comparative Example 1 not employing the component (C) showed impact strength reduced to 7. Comparative Example 2 containing phenolic resin (E) showed much lower heat stability in comparison with Example 1. As described above, the resin composition of the this invention obtains good mechanical properties due to compatibility improved by adding the resin (C) to the base resin, and shows good flame retardancy by employing only triphenyl phosphate without a phenolic resin as an auxiliary flame retardant. In addition, flame retardancy, heat resistance, and heat stability were improved. The present invention can be easily carried out by an ordinary skilled person in the art.
