For evaluation of the processing stability during operation of extrusion processing, Dwell MFR tests were performed using the pellets of each thermoplastic polymer composition obtained in Example 1-4-Example 1-6, Reference Example 1-2 and Comparative Example 1-1. The test was based on JIS K 7210, and 0 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) and 30 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) were measured by a melt indexer (L217-E14011 manufactured by Technol Seven Co., Ltd.) at temperature in a cylinder 270° C. and load 2.16 kg. The 0 min Dwell MFR was measured after 5-min preheating time after filling pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder. The 30 min Dwell MFR was measured after 30-min dwell time, including the preheating time, of the pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder. The MFR variation rate was calculated by the following formula and using the thus-measured 0 min Dwell MFR and 30 min Dwell MFR:





MFR variation rate(%)=absolute value of (30 min Dwell MFR−0 min Dwell MFR)×100/(0 min Dwell MFR)


The compositions of the stabilizer compositions obtained in Example 1-1-Example 1-3 and Reference Example 1-1 are shown in Table 1, and the compositions, 0 min Dwell MFRs, 30 min Dwell MFRs and MFR variation rates of the thermoplastic polymer compositions obtained in Example 1-4-Example 1-6, Reference Example 1-2 and Comparative Example 1-1 are shown in Table 2.

Example 1-8
Production of Stabilizer Composition

Compound (1-2) (0.1 part) and compound (9-1) (0.01 part) were mixed to produce a stabilizer composition.


Example 1-9
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

Polyurethane (manufactured by Nippon Miractran Company Limited) (100 parts) and the total amount of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 1-8 were dry-blended, the obtained mixture was knead-extruded by a single screw extruder having a screw diameter of 30 mm (“VS30-28 type extruder” manufactured by TANABE PLASTICS MACHINERY CO., LTD.) at temperature 200° C. and screw rotation 50 rpm to give strands, and the strands were cut by a pelletizer to give a thermoplastic polymer composition as pellets.


Comparative Example 1-3

In the same manner as in Example 1-9 except that compound (1-2) (0.1 part) was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 1-8, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Experimental Example 1-3
Evaluation of Processing Stability

0 min Dwell MFRs (g/10 min) and 30 min Dwell MFRs (g/10 min) were measured using the pellets of each thermoplastic polymer composition obtained in Example 1-9 and Comparative Example 1-3 and in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1-1, and the MFR variation rates (%) were calculated.


The composition of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 1-8 is shown in Table 4, and the compositions, 0 min Dwell MFRs, 30 min Dwell MFRs and MFR variation rates of the thermoplastic polymer compositions obtained in Example 1-9 and Comparative Example 1-3 are shown in Table 5. In a thermoplastic polymer composition containing polyurethane, a smaller MFR variation rate means better processing stability.

Example 2-1
Production of Stabilizer Composition

Compound (8-1) (0.1 part) and compound (9-1) (0.01 part) were mixed to produce a stabilizer composition.


Example 2-2
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (manufactured by KURARAY CO., LTD.) (100 parts) and the total amount of the composition obtained in Example 2-1 were dry-blended, the obtained mixture was knead-extruded by a single screw extruder having a screw diameter of 30 mm (“VS30-28 type extruder” manufactured by TANABE PLASTICS MACHINERY CO., LTD.) at temperature 230° C. and screw rotation 50 rpm to give strands, and the strands were cut by a pelletizer to give a thermoplastic polymer composition as pellets.


Comparative Example 2-1

In the same manner as in Example 2-2 except that compound (8-1) (0.1 part) was used instead of the total amount of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 2-1, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Experimental Example 2-1
Evaluation of Processing Stability

For evaluation of the processing stability during operation of extrusion processing, Dwell MFR tests were performed using the pellets of each thermoplastic polymer composition obtained in Example 2-2 and Comparative Example 2-1. The test was based on JIS K 7210, and 0 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) and 30 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) were measured by a melt indexer (L217-E14011 manufactured by Technol Seven Co., Ltd.) at temperature in a cylinder 270° C. and load 2.16 kg. The 0 min Dwell MFR was measured after 5-min preheating time after filling pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder. The 30 min Dwell MFR was measured after 30-min dwell time, including the preheating time, of the pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder. The MFR variation rate was calculated by the following formula and using the thus-measured 0 min Dwell MFR and 30 min Dwell MFR:





MFR variation rate(%)=absolute value of (30 min Dwell MFR−0 min Dwell MFR)×100/(0 min Dwell MFR)


The composition of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 2-1 is shown in Table 15, and the compositions, 0 min Dwell MFRs, 30 min Dwell MFRs and MFR variation rates of the thermoplastic polymer compositions obtained in Example 2-2 and Comparative Example 2-1 are shown in Table 16. In a thermoplastic polymer composition containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, a smaller MFR variation rate means better processing stability.

Example 3-4
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

A styrene-butadiene block copolymer (manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corp.) (100 parts) and the stabilizer composition (0.21 part) obtained in Example 3-1 were dry-blended, the obtained mixture was knead-extruded by a single screw extruder having a screw diameter of 30 mm (“VS30-28 type extruder” manufactured by TANABE PLASTICS MACHINERY CO., LTD.) at temperature 230° C. and screw rotation 50 rpm to give strands, and the strands were cut by a pelletizer to give a thermoplastic polymer composition as pellets.


Example 3-5
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

In the same manner as in Example 3-4 except that the stabilizer composition (0.51 part) obtained in Example 3-2 was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 3-1, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Example 3-6
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

In the same manner as in Example 3-4 except that the stabilizer composition (0.51 part) obtained in Example 3-3 was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 3-1, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Reference Example 3-2

In the same manner as in Example 3-4 except that the stabilizer composition (0.5 part) obtained in Reference Example 3-1 was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 3-1, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Comparative Example 3-1

In the same manner as in Example 3-4 except that compound (2-1) (0.2 part) was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 3-1, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Experimental Example 3-1
Evaluation of Processing Stability

For evaluation of the processing stability during operation of extrusion processing, Dwell MFR tests were performed using the pellets of each thermoplastic polymer composition obtained in Example 3-4-Example 3-6, Reference Example 3-2 and Comparative Example 3-1. The test was based on JIS K 7210, and 0 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) and 30 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) were measured by a melt indexer (L217-E14011 manufactured by Technol Seven Co., Ltd.) at temperature in a cylinder 270° C. and load 2.16 kg. The 0 min Dwell MFR was measured after 5-min preheating time after filling pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder. The 30 min Dwell MFR was measured after 30-min dwell time, including the preheating time, of the pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder. The MFR variation rate was calculated by the following formula and using the thus-measured 0 min Dwell MFR and 30 min Dwell MFR:





MFR variation rate(%)=absolute value of (30 min Dwell MFR−0 min Dwell MFR)×100/(0 min Dwell MFR)


The compositions of the stabilizer compositions obtained in Example 3-1-Example 3-3 and Reference Example 3-1 are shown in Table 22, and the compositions, 0 min Dwell MFRs, 30 min Dwell MFRs and MFR variation rates of the thermoplastic polymer compositions obtained in Example 3-4-Example 3-6, Reference Example 3-2 and Comparative Example 3-1 are shown in Table 23. In a thermoplastic polymer composition containing a styrene-butadiene block copolymer, a smaller MFR variation rate means better processing stability.

Example 3-9
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

Polypropylene (manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited) (100 parts) and the stabilizer composition (0.2 part) obtained in Example 3-7 were dry-blended, the obtained mixture was knead-extruded by a single screw extruder having a screw diameter of 30 mm (“VS30-28 type extruder” manufactured by TANABE PLASTICS MACHINERY CO., LTD.) at temperature 230° C. and screw rotation 50 rpm to give strands, and the strands were cut by a pelletizer to give a thermoplastic polymer composition as pellets.


Example 3-10

In the same manner as in Example 3-9 except that the stabilizer composition (0.2 part) obtained in Example 3-8 was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 3-7, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.

Experimental Example 3-2
Evaluation of Processing Stability

For evaluation of the processing stability during operation of extrusion processing, Dwell MFR tests were performed using the pellets of each thermoplastic polymer composition obtained in Example 3-9, Example 3-10, Comparative Example 3-2 and Comparative Example 3-3. The test was based on JIS K 7210, and 30 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) were measured by a melt indexer (L217-E14011 manufactured by Technol Seven Co., Ltd.) at temperature in a cylinder 270° C. and load 2.16 kg. This 30 min Dwell MFR was measured after 30-min dwell time, including the preheating time, of the pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder.


The composition of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 3-3 is shown in Table 24, and the compositions and 30 min Dwell MFRs of the thermoplastic polymer compositions obtained in Example 3-9, Example 3-10, Comparative Example 3-2 and Comparative Example 3-3 are shown in Table 25. Decomposition of polypropylene is accelerated by the heat of processing, and 30 min Dwell MFR increases. Therefore, in a thermoplastic polymer composition containing polypropylene, the processing stability becomes higher as 30 min Dwell MFR is smaller.

Example 4-1
Production of Stabilizer Composition

Compound (3-1) (0.48 part) and compound (9-1) (0.12 part) were mixed to produce a stabilizer composition.


Example 4-2
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

A styrene-butadiene block copolymer (manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corp.) (100 parts) and the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 4-1 were dry-blended, the obtained mixture was knead-extruded by a single screw extruder having a diameter of 30 mm (“VS30-28 type extruder” manufactured by TANABE PLASTICS MACHINERY CO., LTD.) at temperature 230° C. and screw rotation 50 rpm to give strands, and the strands were cut by a pelletizer to give a thermoplastic polymer composition as pellets.


Comparative Example 4-1

In the same manner as in Example 4-1 except that compound (3-1) (0.60 part) was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 4-1, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Experimental Example 4-1
Evaluation of Processing Stability

For evaluation of the processing stability during operation of extrusion processing, Dwell MFR tests were performed using the pellets of each thermoplastic polymer composition obtained in Example 4-2 and Comparative Example 4-1. The test was based on JIS K 7210, and 30 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) were measured by a melt indexer (L217-E14011 manufactured by Technol Seven Co., Ltd.) at temperature in a cylinder 270° C. and load 2.16 kg. This 30 min Dwell MFR was measured after 30-min dwell time, including the preheating time, of the pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder.


In addition, the progress rate of processing stability was calculated by the following formula and using the values of 30 min Dwell MFR of Example 4-2 and Comparative Example 4-1:





progress rate of processing stability(%)=[(30 min Dwell MFR of Example 4-2)−(30 min Dwell MFR of Comparative Example 4-1)]×100/(MFR of Comparative Example 4-1).


The composition of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 4-1 is shown in Table 30, and the compositions, 30 min Dwell MFRs and progress rate of the thermoplastic polymer compositions obtained in Example 4-2 and Comparative Example 4-1 are shown in Table 31. In a thermoplastic polymer composition containing styrene-butadiene block copolymer, a styrene-butadiene block copolymer is crosslinked by the heat of processing, and as compared to 0 min Dwell MFR, 30 min Dwell MFR decreases. Therefore, in a thermoplastic polymer composition containing a styrene-butadiene block copolymer, the processing stability becomes higher as 30 min Dwell MFR is bigger.

Production of Stabilizer Composition

Compound (3-1) (0.1 part) and compound (9-1) (0.01 part) were mixed to produce a stabilizer composition.


Example 4-4
Production of Thermoplastic Polymer Composition

Polypropylene (manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited) (100 parts) and the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 4-3 were dry-blended, the obtained mixture was knead-extruded by a single screw extruder having a diameter of 30 mm (“VS30-28 type extruder” manufactured by TANABE PLASTICS MACHINERY CO., LTD.) at temperature 230° C. and screw rotation 50 rpm to give strands, and the strands were cut by a pelletizer to give a thermoplastic polymer composition as pellets.


Comparative Example 4-2

In the same manner as in Example 4-4 except that compound (3-1) (0.1 part) was used instead of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 4-3, a thermoplastic polymer composition was obtained as pellets.


Experimental Example 4-2
Evaluation of Processing Stability

For evaluation of the processing stability during operation of extrusion processing, Dwell MFR tests were performed using the pellets of each thermoplastic polymer composition obtained in Example 4-4 and Comparative Example 4-2. The test was based on JIS K 7210, and 30 min Dwell MFR (g/10 min) were measured by a melt indexer (L217-E14011 manufactured by Technol Seven Co., Ltd.) at temperature in a cylinder 270° C. and load 2.16 kg. This 30 min Dwell MFR was measured after 30-min dwell time, including the preheating time, of the pellets of the thermoplastic polymer composition in the cylinder. Furthermore, the inhibition rate of MFR increment was calculated by the following formula and using the 30 min Dwell MFR of Example 4-4 and the 30 min Dwell MFR of Comparative Example 4-2:





inhibition rate of MFR increment(%)=[(30 min Dwell MFR of Comparative Example 4-2)−(30 min Dwell MFR of Example 4-4)]×100/(30 min Dwell MFR of Comparative Example 4-2).


The composition of the stabilizer composition obtained in Example 4-3 is shown in Table 32, and the compositions, 30 min Dwell MFRs and inhibition rate of MFR increment of the thermoplastic polymer compositions obtained in Example 4-4 and Comparative Example 4-2 are shown in Table 33. Decomposition of polypropylene is accelerated by the heat of processing, and 30 min Dwell MFR increases. Therefore, in a thermoplastic polymer composition containing polypropylene, the processing stability becomes higher as 30 min Dwell MFR is smaller and the inhibition rate of MFR increment is larger.
