Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a polyacetal resin composition which is excellent in terms of impact resistance, thermal stability, and releasability; and a process for producing the polyacetal resin composition. The polyacetal resin composition comprises 100 parts by mass of a polyacetal resin (A) in which the molecular chain has neither a crosslink nor a branch therein, 0.01-10.0 parts by mass of an antioxidant (B), 0.01-5.0 parts by mass of a nitrogenous compound (C), and 0.05-1.0 parts by mass of a fatty acid amide (D), and has a melt index, as measured in accordance with ISO 1133, of 0.5-1.5 g/10 min. A process for producing the polyacetal resin compositions is also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for producing a polyacetal resin composition, comprising:
mixing 100 parts by mass of a polyacetal resin (A) having a molecular chain with neither crosslinks nor branches, 0.01 to 10.0 parts by mass of an antioxidant (B), 0.01 to 5.0 parts by mass of a nitrogen-containing compound (C), and 0.05 to 1.0 part by mass of a fatty acid amide (D), to obtain a mixture; and
melt kneading the mixture with a kneader to obtain the polyacetal resin composition, so that the polyacetal resin composition has a melt index of 0.5 to 1.5 g/10 minutes as measured in accordance with ISO 1133,
wherein the temperature of the polyacetal resin composition at the exit of the kneader is controlled within the range of not less than 250° C. and not more than 270° C.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyacetal resin composition has a Charpy impact value of not less than 10 Id as measured in accordance with ISO 194.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antioxidant (B) is a hindered phenol-based antioxidant.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antioxidant (B) is triethylene glycol-bis-3-(3-t-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl) propionate.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the nitrogen-containing compound (C) is an amino-substituted triazine compound.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the nitrogen-containing compound (C) is melamine.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty acid amide (D) is hexamethylenebisstearamide or ethylenebisstearamide.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty acid amide (D) is ethylenebisstearamide.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the melt kneading is performed for not less than 1 minute and not more than 5 minutes.
