Abstract

A polyester elastomer resin composition that provides improved mold fouling in a continuous use for a long-term, and prevents the lowering in physical properties of polyester elatomer which causes by contacting with grease in environments exceeding 140° C. The polyester elastomer resin composition contains a thermoplastic polyester elastomer (A) prepared by bonding a hard segment and a soft segment an alicyclic polycarbodiimide compound and/or an aliphatic polycarbodiimide compound (B); and a polyamide resin (C) having an amine value of 50 to 2000 eq/tin such a ratio that (B) is in 0.1 to 5 part(s) by mass and (C) is in 0.1 to 10 part(s) by mass to 100 parts by mass of (A). The polyester elastomer resin composition has an acid value which is more than 5 eq/t and not more than 20 eq/t.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A polyester elastomer resin composition comprising:
a thermoplastic polyester elastomer (A) prepared by bonding a hard segment and a soft segment, wherein the hard segment comprises a polyester constituted from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic and/or alicyclic diol(s) as constituting ingredients, and wherein the soft segment is at least one member selected from a group consisting of an aliphatic polyether, an aliphatic polyester and an aliphatic polycarbonate;
an alicyclic polycarbodiimide compound and/or an aliphatic polycarbodiimide compound (B); and
a polyamide resin (C) having an amine value of 50 to 2000 eq/t
in such a ratio that (B) is in 0.1 to 5 part(s) by mass and (C) is in 0.1 to 10 part(s) by mass to 100 parts by mass of (A),
wherein the polyester elastomer resin composition has an acid value which is more than 5 eq/t and not more than 20 eq/t.

2. The polyester elastomer resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarbodiimide compound (B) is compounded in such a ratio that an amount of a carbodiimide functional group thereof is 0.3 to 1.5 equivalent(s) when an amount of a terminal carboxyl group in the thermoplastic polyester elastomer (A) is taken as 1.

3. The polyester elastomer resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester elastomer resin composition further contains at least one kind of antioxidant selected from a group consisting of an antioxidant of an aromatic amine type, an antioxidant of a hindered phenol type, an antioxidant of a sulfur type and an antioxidant of a phosphorus type, and wherein an amount of the above antioxidant is in a ratio of 0.01 to 3 part(s) by mass to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic polyester elastomer (A).

4. The polyester elastomer resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a reduced viscosity of the polyester elastomer resin composition is from 2.0 to 3.5 dl/g.

5. The polyester elastomer resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a tensile elongation is 200% or more, and wherein the tensile elongation is measured on the polyester elastomer resin composition which has been subjected to a thermal treatment at 140° C. for 300 hours in a state in which a urea compound-containing grease is applied to the polyester elastomer resin composition.

6. The polyester elastomer resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the soft segment of the thermoplastic polyester elastomer resin (A) is an aliphatic polyether.
