Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pellet type controlled release resin composition having high blocking effect and is excellent in long term storage stability.SOLUTION: The controlled release resin composition is formed of at least base resin and a functional additive. The controlled release resin composition is formed into a pellet state, and an antiblocking agent having 100 ml/100 mg or more of oil absorption adheres to the surface of the composition.

Description

  The present invention relates to a sustained release resin composition in which a functional additive such as a chemical solution, a fragrance, and a lubricating oil is kneaded in a base resin, and the functional additive is continuously released from the base resin in small amounts. The present invention relates to a means for preventing blocking of a sustained-release resin composition formed into a pellet.

  In recent years, resin materials for molding are generally supplied to the market in the form of pellets because they can be easily taken out from storage locations, supplied to molding apparatuses, transported between storage locations, and measured. . In this case, when the blocking (a phenomenon in which the pellets adhere to each other) occurs in the resin material molded into a pellet shape, the above-described various advantages are lost, and thus the molded pellet is subjected to a blocking prevention treatment. (Refer to the claims of Patent Document 1.) The anti-blocking treatment is performed by attaching an anti-blocking agent to the surface of the pellet.

  In Patent Document 1, inorganic powder, organic powder, fatty acid powder, fatty acid derivative powder, and the like are used as an antiblocking agent, and silica, talc, calcium carbonate, and mica are particularly preferable as the inorganic powder, and an antiblocking agent. It is described that the average particle diameter is preferably 0.1 to 50 μm.

JP 2012-040719 A

  By the way, a sustained-release resin composition obtained by kneading functional additives such as chemicals, fragrances, and lubricating oils in a base resin is also shipped in the form of pellets and molded into a desired shape by a molding apparatus. . The sustained-release resin composition, because of its characteristics, is a functional additive that exudes from the base resin because it exhibits the required functions and effects by continuously releasing the functional additive from the base resin minutely. Therefore, blocking is more likely to occur than other general resin materials.

  For this reason, for the sustained-release resin composition, the general anti-blocking agent listed in Patent Document 1, that is, an inorganic powder, an organic powder, a fatty acid powder, a fatty acid derivative having an average particle size of 0.1 to 50 μm It is difficult to obtain a sufficient blocking effect only by performing a blocking treatment using the above powder or the like.

  The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a pellet-like sustained release resin composition having a high anti-blocking effect and excellent long-term storage stability. It is in.

  In order to solve such problems, the present invention includes a base resin, a functional additive, and a sustained-release aid for the functional additive, and is formed into pellets. An anti-blocking agent having an oil absorption of 100 ml / 100 mg or more is attached to the surface of

  As described above, since the functional additive oozes out from the base resin, the sustained-release resin composition obtains the required blocking effect by using an anti-blocking agent for other general resin materials. I can't. On the other hand, the content of the functional additive contained in the base resin is naturally limited. Therefore, the present invention pays attention to the content of the functional additive and the oil absorption amount of the anti-blocking agent, and applies an anti-blocking agent having an oil absorption amount of 100 ml / 100 mg or more to the surface of the pellet-like sustained release resin composition. It was found that if it adheres, the sustained-release resin composition can have the required anti-blocking effect.

  In the sustained-release resin composition having the above-described configuration, the anti-blocking agent is a granule having an average particle diameter of 1 to 100 μm.

  The external shape and average particle diameter of the antiblocking agent are closely related to the amount of antiblocking agent adhering to the pellet surface and the uniformity of the adhesion, and thus the antiblocking effect. According to experiments, when a particle blocking inhibitor is used with an average particle diameter of 1 to 100 μm, a large amount of blocking inhibitor can be uniformly attached to the pellet surface, and blocking of the sustained release resin composition can be prevented. The effect is enhanced.

In the sustained-release resin composition having the above-described configuration, the anti-blocking agent has a specific surface area of 100 m ² or more and 1000 m ² or less.

The more the anti-blocking agent is porous and the higher the specific surface area is, the more functional additives can be adsorbed. On the other hand, if the specific surface area of the antiblocking agent is too high, the sustained release of the functional additive is impaired. According to experiments, when the specific surface area of the antiblocking agent is 100 m ² or more and 1000 m ² or less, it is possible to achieve both the antiblocking effect of the sustained release resin composition and the sustained release of the functional additive.

  According to the present invention, the anti-blocking agent having an oil absorption of 100 ml / 100 mg or more is attached to the surface of the sustained-release resin composition formed into pellets, so that the functional additive is generally released gradually. A sustained-release resin composition that is more likely to cause blocking than a typical resin material can be provided with a required anti-blocking effect.

  Hereinafter, the structure of the sustained release resin composition according to the embodiment will be described. The sustained-release resin composition according to the embodiment includes a base resin, a functional additive, a sustained-release aid for the functional additive, an organic weathering agent, an inorganic weathering agent, and an inorganic filler, It is formed into pellets. An antiblocking agent is attached to the surface of the pellet.

  In the sustained-release resin composition of the present invention, the content of the functional additive with respect to the total amount of the sustained-release resin composition is desirably 1% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less. This is because if the content is less than 1% by weight, the sufficient function cannot be exhibited and the continuity of the effect is lowered. On the other hand, when the content exceeds 50% by weight, it becomes difficult to produce a sustained-release resin composition.

  The sustained-release resin composition of the present invention can be produced, for example, by blending each component and melt-kneading. Each component can be blended in advance by dry mixing using a tumbler, blender, mixer, or the like, or can be performed by supplying each component from the same or different hoppers of the kneader. The obtained sustained-release resin composition is pelletized by a pelletizer after extrusion molding. An antiblocking agent is attached to the surface of the pelletized sustained release resin composition.

[Anti-blocking agent]

These antiblocking agents can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The amount of the antiblocking agent added is preferably 0.001 to 0.03 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the raw material pellets. By setting the amount of the anti-blocking agent within the above range, it is possible to obtain resin pellets that are excellent in blocking resistance and have little influence on the physical properties of the molded article. Further, the sustained-release resin composition of the present invention is an antiblocking agent having an oil absorption of 100 ml / 100 mg or more, an average particle diameter of 1 to 100 μm, and a specific surface area of 100 m ² or more and 1000 m ² or less. Are preferably used.

Since the sustained-release resin composition according to the present invention exhibits a desired effect by gradually releasing the functional additive from the base resin, blocking due to the functional additive is likely to occur. However, since the content of the functional additive contained in the base resin is naturally limited, if an anti-blocking agent having an oil absorption amount corresponding to the content of the functional additive in the base resin is used, it will be gradually reduced. Since the exudation of the functional additive from the release resin composition can be prevented, blocking of the sustained release resin composition can be prevented. According to experiments, blocking of the sustained-release resin composition could be prevented by using an anti-blocking agent having an oil absorption of 100 ml / 100 mg or more. Moreover, when a granule having an average particle diameter of 1 to 100 μm is used as an anti-blocking agent, the anti-blocking agent can be uniformly attached to the surface of the pellet, and the anti-blocking effect of the sustained-release resin composition is enhanced. It is done. Furthermore, by using an anti-blocking agent having a specific surface area of 100 m ² or more and 1000 m ² or less, it is possible to achieve both the anti-blocking effect of the sustained-release resin composition and the sustained-release property of the functional additive.

[Anti-blocking agent binder]
The anti-blocking agent can be directly attached to the surface of the sustained-release resin composition formed into a pellet, but the binder is used to enhance the adhesion of the anti-blocking agent to the sustained-release resin composition. It is particularly preferable that the binding is carried out via.

  The binder has a polyether polyol, an aliphatic hydrocarbon oil, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group or an ester group, and may have an alkane having a total carbon number of 7 to 18, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group or an ester group. Examples thereof include alkenes having a total carbon number of 7 to 18, natural oils, naphthenic oils, paraffin oils, aromatic oils, and silicone oils.

These binders can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types.

  The binder can be applied to the pellet surface by spraying the binder into the processing apparatus while stirring the raw material pellets supplied into the processing apparatus through the hopper. According to this method, the binder can be efficiently applied to the pellet surface.

  In molding the sustained-release resin composition, a known molding method such as injection molding, extrusion molding, press molding, blow molding, machining molding, or the like can be applied. There is no particular limitation on the shape of the small animal control resin molded product, which is a product, and any shape such as a flat plate shape, a rod shape, a cylindrical shape, a comb shape, a spherical shape, and a net shape can be used. In addition to molding the sustained-release resin composition alone, two-color or multicolor molding in combination with metal or the like can also be performed.

It is considered that each of these blocking agents could hardly exhibit the blocking effect because the oil absorption amount and the specific surface area were too small.

The pellets externally added with a calcium carbonate blocking agent having an oil absorption of 35 ml / 100 g, a particle diameter of 1.1 μm, and a specific surface area of 3 m ² / g have a feeder drop rate of 61 g / s immediately after the external addition, and are small animal controllable. Although it is determined that it has the feeder supply capability necessary for the production of the resin molded product, the feeder fall speed is reduced to 0 g / s after heating at 60 ° C. for 48 hours, so that the small animal control resin molded product can be produced. It is determined that there is no.

Also, pellets externally added with a calcium phosphate blocking agent having an oil absorption of 92 ml / 100 g, a particle diameter of 5 μm, and a specific surface area of 93 m ² / g have a feeder drop rate of 90 g / s immediately after the external addition, and a small animal control resin. Although it is determined that it has the feeder supply capability necessary for the production of the molded product, the feeder falling speed decreases to 2 g / s after heating at 60 ° C. for 48 hours, and thus the small animal control resin molded product cannot be produced. It is determined.

In addition, pellets externally added with a talc blocking agent having an oil absorption of 41 ml / 100 g, a particle diameter of 5 μm, and a specific surface area of 8.5 m ² / g have a feeder drop rate of 78 g / s immediately after the external addition, and control of small animals Although it is determined that it has the feeder supply capability necessary for the production of the functional resin molded product, the feeder falling speed decreases to 2 g / s after heating at 60 ° C. for 48 hours. It is determined that it cannot be performed.

In addition, pellets externally added with a talc blocking agent having an oil absorption of 54 ml / 100 g, a particle diameter of 1 μm, and a specific surface area of 20 m ² / g have a feeder drop rate of 81 g / s immediately after external addition, and are small animal control resins. Although it is determined that the feeder supply property necessary for the production of the molded product is obtained, the feeder drop rate is reduced to 10 g / s after heating at 60 ° C. for 48 hours, and thus the small animal control resin molded product cannot be produced. It is determined.

In addition, pellets externally added with a silica blocking agent having an oil absorption of 100 ml / 100 g, a particle size of 5 μm, and a specific surface area of 200 m ² / g have a feeder drop rate of 84 g / s immediately after the external addition, and are small animal control resins. Although it is determined that the feeder supply property necessary for the production of the molded product is obtained, the feeder drop rate decreases to 12 g / s after heating at 60 ° C. for 48 hours, and thus the small animal control resin molded product cannot be produced. It is determined.

  Of course, these anti-blocking agents can also be used for the purpose of producing a small animal controllable resin molding immediately after the production of the pellets.

In contrast, pellets externally added with a calcium phosphate / calcium carbonate blocking agent having an oil absorption of 155 ml / 100 g, a particle size of 5.5 μm, and a specific surface area of 89 m ² / g have a feeder drop rate of 101 g / s, and the feeder dropping speed after heating at 60 ° C. for 48 hours is also maintained at 43 g / s, so it is determined that there is no practical problem. In addition, if it has the feeder fall speed of 40 g / s or more, a small animal controllable resin molding can be manufactured with target manufacturing efficiency.

In addition, the pellets externally added with a silica blocking agent having an oil absorption of 300 ml / 100 g, a particle diameter of 0.3 μm, and a specific surface area of 300 m ² / g have a feeder dropping speed of 97 g / s immediately after the external addition, and 60 ° C. Since the feeder falling speed after heating for 48 hours is maintained at 60 g / s, it is determined that there is no practical problem.

Furthermore, pellets externally added with a silica blocking agent having an oil absorption of 400 ml / 100 g, a particle diameter of 5 μm, and a specific surface area of 700 m ² / g have a feeder drop rate of 106 g / s immediately after the external addition and are 48 at 60 ° C. Since the feeder falling speed after heating for a certain time is maintained at 76 g / s, it is determined that there is no practical problem.
