The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin sheet which can be used as a wrapping sheet, for car interiors, as a building material, and the like.
A thermoplastic resin sheet made of a thermoplastic resin, such as polyester or the like has been used as a wrapping sheet. For instance, the muffler of a car or motorbike is transported wrapped in a polyester sheet for protection.
Said thermoplastic resin sheet has a problem in that when it is used at a temperature higher than its softening point even for a short time, it melts and can not function as a wrapping sheet.
In the present invention, to solve said problem, a heat resistant sheet consisting of a thermoplastic resin sheet on one or both sides of which a phenolic resin film(s) is (are) formed, is provided.
Said phenolic resin film is formed by coating a phenolic resin water solution into which a water soluble polymer has been added onto one or both sides of said thermoplastic resin sheet, and then heating.
When said heat resistant sheet of the present invention is molded at a temperature several tens of degrees higher than that at which a thermoplastic resin sheet deforms, said heat resistant sheet does not melt, so that said heat resistant sheet can be molded into a desirable shape.
[Thermoplastic Sheet]
The thermoplastic resin used as the material for said thermoplastic resin sheet is such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene ether (PPE), modified polyphenylene ether (m-PPE), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polyarylate (PAR), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer (ABS), polyacetal (POM), or the like. A polymer blend and polymer alloy containing two or more kinds of said thermoplastic resin may be used for said thermoplastic resin sheet of the present invention.
The thickness of said thermoplastic resin sheet used in the present invention may be in the range of between 0.01 mm and 1 mm, but preferably 0.02 mm and 0.5 mm, nevertheless, a thermoplastic resin sheet which is thinner than 0.2 mm can be used in the present invention. In a case where said thermoplastic resin sheet is thicker than 1 mm, said thermoplastic resin sheet can not be heat resistant even when said phenolic resin film is formed on the surface of said thermoplastic resin sheet.
Further, in a case where said thermoplastic resin sheet is thinner than 0.01 mm, the resulting sheet lacks strength.
Said thermoplastic resin sheet can be manufactured using a common method, such as the calendar method, extrusion method (T-die method), press method, and the like.
Further, other than said thermoplastic sheet manufactured using one of said methods, a nonwoven fabric sheet, knit or woven sheet, made of said thermoplastic resin may also be used as said thermoplastic sheet.
Phenolic resin films is (are) formed on one or both sides, and to improve the adhesiveness of said thermoplastic resin sheet to said film, surface treatments such as a primer treatment, flame treatment, sulfuric acid treatment, sand blast treatment, corona discharge treatment, or the like may be administered to one or both sides of said thermoplastic resin sheet.
[Phenolic Resin Film]
The phenolic resin used for said phenolic resin film of the present invention is a condensation polymer of a phenolic compound and aldehyde and/or an aldehyde donor.
(Phenolic Compound)
The phenolic compound used to produce said phenolic resin may be a monohydric phenol, or polyhydric phenol, or a mixture of monohydric phenol and polyhydric phenol, but in a case where only monohydric phenol is used, formaldehyde is apt to be emitted when or after said resin composition is cured, so that a polyhydric phenol or a mixture of monohydric phenol and polyhydric phenol is preferably used.
(Monohydric Phenol)
The monohydric phenols include alkyl phenols such as o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, ethylphenol, isopropylphenol, xylenol, 3,5-xylenol, butylphenol, t-butylphenol, nonylphenol, or the like; monohydric phenol derivatives such as o-fluorophenol, m-fluorophenol, p-fluorophenol, o-chlorophenol, m-chlorophenol, p-chlorophenol, o-bromophenol, m-bromophenol, p-bromophenol, o-iodophenol, m-iodophenol, p-iodophenol, o-aminophenol, m-aminophenol, p-aminophenol, o-nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol, p-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, or the like; monohydric phenols of polycyclic aromatic compounds such as naphthol, or the like. Each monohydric phenol can be used singly, or in a mixture thereof
(Polyhydric Phenol)
The polyhydric phenols mentioned above, include resorcin, alkylresorcin, pyrogallol, catechol, alkylcatechol, hydroquinone, alkylhydroquinone, phloroglucin, bisphenol, dihydroxynaphthalene, or the like. Each polyhydric phenol can be used singly, or in a mixture thereof. Resorcin and alkylresorcin are more suitable than other polyhydric phenols. Alkylresorcin, in particular, is the most suitable of polyhydric phenols, because it can react with aldehydes more rapidly than resorcin.
The alkylresorcins include 5-methylresorcin, 5-ethylresorcin, 5-propylresorcin, 5-n-butylresorcin, 4,5-dimethylresorcin, 2,5-dimethylresorcin, 4,5-diethylresorcin, 2,5-diethylresorcin, 4,5-dipropylresorcin, 2,5-dipropylresorcin, 4-methyl-5-ethylresorcin, 2-methyl-5-ethylresorcin, 2-methyl-5-propylresorcin, 2,4,5-trimethylresorcin, 2,4,5-triethylresorcin, or the like.
A polyhydric phenol mixture produced by the dry distillation of oil shale, which is produced in Estonia, is inexpensive, said polyhydric phenol mixture including 5-metylresorcin, along with many other kinds of alkylresorcin, is highly reactive, and makes said polyhydric phenol mixture an especially desirable raw polyphenol material for the present invention.
In the present invention, said phenolic compound and aldehyde and/or aldehyde donor (aldehydes) are condensed together. Said aldehyde donor refers to a compound or a mixture which emits aldehyde when said compound or said mixture decomposes. The aldehydes include formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, chloral, furfural, glyoxal, n-butylaldehyde, capronaldehyde, allylaldehyde, benzaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, acrolein, phenylacetaldehyde, o-tolualdehyde, salicylaldehyde, or the like. The aldehyde donors include paraformaldehyde, trioxane, hexamethylenetetramine, tetraoxymethylene, or the like.

In the present invention, the desirable phenolic resin is phenol-alkylresorcin cocondensation polymer. Said phenol-alkylresorcin cocondensation polymer provides a water solution of said cocondensation polymer (pre-cocondensation polymer) having good stability, and being advantageous in that it can be stored for a longer time at room temperature, as compared with a condensate consisting of a phenol only (precondensation polymer).

Said thermoplastic resin sheet of the present invention may not melt by heating at a temperature several tens degree higher than that of the thermal deformation temperature.
The present invention is explained by the EXAMPLES described below, but the scope of the present invention should not be limited to only these descriptions in the EXAMPLES.
Forty parts by mass of a resol type sulfomethylated phenol-alkyl resorcin formaldehyde precondensation polymer (50% by mass solid content) and 60 parts by mass of polyvinyl alcohol (10% by mass solid content) were mixed together to prepare a phenolic resin solution, after which said solution was coated onto one or both sides of each thermoplastic resin sheet (thickness 0.05 mm respectively), said thermoplastic resin sheets each being made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), modified polyphenylene ether (styrene-polyamide modified polyphenylene ether, m-PPE), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide (PA), polyarylate (PAR). The coating amount of said precondensation polymer solution on each sheet was 14 g/m2 as a solid per side of said sheet. Said precondensation polymer solution coated on each thermoplastic resin sheet was then dried at 140° C. for 10 minutes, to put said precondensation polymer at C-stage, and obtain a heat resistant sheet. On one or both sides of each sheet, said phenolic resin film was formed. The resulting heat resistant sheets were then each cut into test pieces (each test piece being 10×10 cm in size), and each test piece was left standing in an incubator for 30 minutes, to determine a temperature at which said test piece would deform and contract by more than 1%. The results are shown in Table 1.
As a COMPARISON to EXAMPLE 1, using each thermoplastic resin sheet without said phenolic resin film, the same determination as in EXAMPLE 1 was carried out and the results are also shown in Table 1.
Referring to Table 1; it is confirmed that each heat resistant sheet on one or both sides of which said phenolic resin film(s) was (were) formed has better heat resistance than each of the thermoplastic sheets of COMPARISON 1.
Fifty parts by mass of a sulfimethylated phenol-alkyl resorcin-formaldehyde precondensation polymer (55% by mass solid content), 30 parts by mass of polyvinyl alcohol (8% by mass solid content), 15 parts by mass of starch, and five parts by mass of paraform aldehyde powder as a curing agent were mixed together to prepare a phenolic resin solution, and said solution was then coated onto one or both sides of thermoplastic resin sheets (thickness 6 mm), said thermoplastic resin sheets each being made of polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer (ABS), polyacetal (POM).
The coating amount of said precondensation polymer solution was 14 g/m2 as a solid per side. Said precondensation polymer solution coated on each thermoplastic resin sheet was then left standing at 25 to 35° C. for 24 hours, to cure and put said phenolic resin at C-stage, and obtain a heat resistant sheet on one or both sides of which said phenolic resin film(s) was (were) formed. The same heat resistance test as in EXAMPLE 1 was carried out for each heat resistant sheet. The results are shown in Table 2.
As a COMPARISON to EXAMPLE 2 using each thermoplastic resin sheet without said phenolic resin film, the same determination as in EXAMPLE 2 was carried out and the results are also shown in Table 2.
Referring to Table 2, it is confirmed that each heat resistant sheet on one or both sides of which send phenolic resin film(s) was (were) formed has better heat resistance than each of the thermoplastic sheets of COMPARISON 2.
Seventy parts by mass of a resol type sulfomethylated phenolalkyl resorcin-formaldehyde precondensation polymer (50% by mass solid content) and 30 parts by mass of water were mixed together to prepare a phenolic resin solution, then said solution was impregnated into a base sheet (thickness 0.4 mm) made of a nonwoven fabric of spun bonded polyester fibers (unit weight 40 g/m) on one side of which a polyethylene sheet was laminated, the amount of said precondensation polymer to be impregnated therein being set to be 30% by mass solid content, following which said base sheet into which said solution was impregnated, was then heated at 160° C. for 5 minutes, to cure and put said phenolic resin at C-stage, and prepare a heat resistant sheet.
A car muffler was covered with the resulting heat resistant sheet, the polyester fiber side of said heat resistant sheet coming into contact with said muffler.
Said muffler, covered with said heat resistant sheet, was protected from dirt, such as rain water, dust, and the like during transportation.
Adjustments of the engine of the car in which said muffler, covered with said heat resistant sheet was installed, were carried out. The engine was operated for about 10 minutes, after which no trouble regarding said heat resistant sheet was recognized. The temperature of said muffler during the operation of the engine was driven was 260° C.
Said base sheet, without having been impregnated with said solution was used in the same test as EXAMPLE 3, which was carried out by covering the muffler with said base sheet, and then driving the engine. After one minute of engine operation, said base sheet contracted and melted, and a part of said base sheet peeled from or stuck to the muffler.
Sixty-five parts by mass of a sulfomethylated phenol-alkylresorcin-formaldehyde precondensation polymer (50% by mass solid content), 23 parts by mass of polyvinylalcohol (10% by mass solid content), 10 parts by mass of starch (20% by mass solid content), one part by mass of methyl alcohol, 0.5 part by mass of a phenolic age resister and 0.5 part by mass of an antifoaming agent of a nonionic surface active agent were mixed together to prepare a phenolic resin solution, after which said solution was coated on both sides of a PET sheet, the coating amount of said precondensation polymer being 40 g/m2 as a solid per side, following which said PET sheet onto which said solution was coated, was then heated at 150° C. for 7minutes, to cure and put said phenolic resin at C-stage, and prepare a heat resistant sheet. Said sheet onto which said phenolic resin film was formed, was then cut into test pieces (10×10 cm size), and said test pieces then were left standing in an incubator at 230° C. for three days and seven days, and after left standing the condition of each of the test pieces were observed. The results were shown in Table 3.
Other than using the PCT sheet as it is, the same observations as in EXAMPLE 4 were carried out after having left said PCT sheets standing. The results are shown in Table 3.
Referring to the results of EXAMPLE 4 and COMPARISON 4, it is recognized that no trouble was observed even when said test piece was exposed to a high temperature, around that of the temperature at which the thermal deformation of said thermoplastic resin sheet occurs.
The heat resistant sheet of the present invention can be used as a wrapping sheet, for car interiors, as a building material, or the like.
