The present invention relates to an antioxidant for stabilizing a thermoplastic resin that is easily oxidatively deteriorated at room temperature. More specifically, the present invention relates to providing a thermoplastic resin composition containing an antioxidant that has a structure in which a phenolic hydroxyl group is protected with a specific substituent, particularly with an alkyl carbonate group, and that has an excellent effect of preventing oxidation, particularly of a polyolefin-based resin, and suppresses a change in color of the polyolefin-based resin due to contact with a nitrogen oxide.
It is known that compounds having a 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl group provide an excellent stabilizing effect to various thermoplastic resins such as a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polyethylene resin, a polypropylene resin, a polybutene resin, a polybutylene terephthalate resin, a polycarbonate resin, an ABS resin, nylon 6, nylon 66, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a petroleum resin, and a coumarone resin.
In particular, as disclosed in Patent Literatures 1 to 23, phenol-based antioxidants are widely used as antioxidants that improve the thermal resistance of polyolefin-based resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene. In addition to the phenol-based antioxidants, examples of an additive for preventing the oxidation and deterioration of the thermoplastic resins include phosphorus-based antioxidants, sulfur-based antioxidants, hydroxyamine compounds, hindered amine compounds, ultraviolet absorbers, and acid scavengers.

With regard to molded articles, particularly vehicle members, made of a resin compound obtained by blending a known phenol-based antioxidant into a polyolefin-based resin, the number of the molded articles whose color changes to yellow or brown has been increasing.
As a result of research on the causes for such a change in color, the inventors of the present invention found that nitrogen oxides generated from automobile exhaust gas caused the change in color. In recent years, the content of nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere has been increasing every year due to combustion of petroleum fuel and the like. Therefore, there is a concern that such nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere cause coloring of not only molded articles made of a polyolefin-based resin but also those made of another thermoplastic resin.
However, a conventionally used formulation of a stabilizer has difficulty in preventing the change in color caused by nitrogen oxides as mentioned above. For example, Patent Literature 23 states that yellowing caused by nitrogen oxide gas can be prevented by blending 8,9-bis[2-(8-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propionyloxy)-1,1-dimethylethyl]-2, 4,8-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane into a polyolefin resin, but the prevention of yellowing is not sufficient yet.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an antioxidant for a thermoplastic resin that provides an excellent oxidation-preventing effect to a thermoplastic resin and has an excellent effect of preventing a change in color caused by nitrogen oxides.
As a result of research to solve the foregoing problems, the inventors of the present invention found that antioxidants for a thermoplastic resin that have a specific structure can be used to solve the foregoing problems, and the present invention was achieved.

When the method in which the antioxidant for a thermoplastic resin according to the present invention is blended after the polymerization of the above-mentioned thermoplastic resin is used, examples thereof include a method in which a mixture obtained by using a Henschel mixer to mix the antioxidant and powder or pellets of a thermoplastic resin to be stabilized is kneaded using a processing apparatus such as an extruder, and a method in which a masterbatch of the antioxidant is produced and then blended into the thermoplastic resin. There are also no particular limitations on the type of processing apparatus to be used, the processing temperature, and the cooling condition after processing, and the conditions can be selected such that the physical properties of the obtained resin are suitable for the application. Moreover, the antioxidant for a thermoplastic resin according to the present invention can be blended into the thermoplastic resin after being granulated alone or together with other resin additives.
The antioxidant for a thermoplastic resin according to the present invention is used in an amount in a range from 0.001 to 0.5 parts by mass, and preferably in a range from 0.001 to 0.3 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the above-mentioned thermoplastic resin. When the use amount is less than 0.001 parts by mass, there is a case where a desired oxidation-preventing effect cannot be obtained, and when the use amount is more than 0.5 parts by mass, the antioxidant may bleed out of a molded article obtained by molding the above-mentioned thermoplastic resin composition, resulting in the deterioration of the external appearance of the molded article.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned use amount refers to a use amount in a molded article as an end product. For example, when the use amount of the antioxidant for a thermoplastic resin can be diluted by adding the antioxidant to the thermoplastic resin and then molding the resulting mixture, as in the case where a masterbatch is used, the use amount of the antioxidant may exceed the above-mentioned use amount.

To 100 parts by mass of homopolypropylene (Prime Polypro H700 manufactured by Prime Polymer Co., Ltd.; MFR=9.9 g/10 min), 0.05 parts by mass of each of the antioxidants for a thermoplastic resin according to the present invention (Compounds 1 to 8) and conventional antioxidants shown in Tables 2, 3, and 4, and 0.05 parts by mass of calcium stearate were added, and mixed for 30 minutes using a rocking mixer. After the mixing, the mixture was granulated at a melting temperature of 230° C. and a screw speed of 30 rpm using a single screw extruder (OEX3024 manufactured by DDM Co., Ltd.), and thus pellets were manufactured. The obtained pellets were evaluated as follows.
Influence on Melt Flow Rate
The melt flow rates (MFRs: g/10 min) of the pellets obtained in the above-mentioned examples and comparative examples were measured in accordance with JIS K 7210 (at a temperature of 230° C. and a weight of 1.85 kg). Tables 2 to 4 below show the results.
150° C. Oven Testing
An injection molding apparatus (EC100-2A manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd.) was used to subject the pellets obtained in the above-mentioned examples and comparative examples to injection molding under the conditions that the injection temperature was 230° C. and the temperature of a metal mold was 40° C., and thus test pieces having a flat plate shape and a size of 20 mm×60 mm×2 mm were obtained. Just after the injection molding, the test pieces were allowed to stand for 48 hours or more in a constant temperature chamber in which the chamber temperature was set at 23° C. and then placed in an oven in which the temperature was set at 150° C. After a week, the states of the test pieces were checked. The test pieces in which no abnormalities of the external appearance were observed were evaluated as “Good”, the test pieces that had been colored were evaluated as “Fair”, and the test pieces that had been thermally embrittled were evaluated as “Poor”. Tables 2 to 4 show the results.

It is clear from the results of Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-5 shown in Table 1 that the conventionally used phenol-based antioxidants significantly turned yellow due to exposure to nitrogen oxide in the NOx testing, whereas it is clear from the results of Examples 1-1 to 1-6 that the antioxidants for a thermoplastic resin according to the present invention slightly turned yellow.
In addition, it can be confirmed from the results of Examples 2-1 to 2-8 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-8 shown in Table 2 that the antioxidants for a synthetic resin according to the present invention have an effect of improving thermal resistance of polyolefin-based resins, the effect being similar to that of the conventional antioxidants.
Accordingly, the antioxidants for a thermoplastic resin according to the present invention are antioxidants that provide excellent thermal resistance to a thermoplastic resin and that can also suppress a change in color in the NOx testing, and thus the antioxidants can be preferably used in vehicle interior and exterior materials.
