Abstract

Provided are: a dispersant for calcium carbonate that is capable of dispersing calcium carbonate well in a thermoplastic resin; a calcium carbonate composition and a thermoplastic resin composition that each contain the dispersant for calcium carbonate; and a molded body produced by using the thermoplastic resin composition. Specifically, provided are a dispersant for calcium carbonate, including a polyester resin containing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid residue, an aliphatic diol residue, and a monoalcohol residue or a monocarboxylic acid residue and having a melting point of 100 to 250° C.; a calcium carbonate composition that contains the dispersant and calcium carbonate; a thermoplastic resin composition that contains the dispersant, calcium carbonate, and a thermoplastic resin; and a molded body that contains the thermoplastic resin composition.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A dispersant for calcium carbonate, comprising a polyester resin containing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid residue, an aliphatic diol residue, and a monoalcohol residue or a monocarboxylic acid residue and having a melting point of 100 to 230° C.;
wherein the aliphatic diol residue is a 1,3-propylene glycol residue, a 1,4-butanediol residue, or a 1,6-hexanediol residue; and
wherein the aliphatic monoalcohol residue is an octanol residue, a 2-ethylhexanol residue, a nonanol residue, an isononanol residue, a decanol residue, or an undecanol residue.

2. The dispersant for calcium carbonate according to claim 1 , which is represented by the general formula (1) or the general formula (2):

wherein, B 1 represents a monoalcohol residue, B 2 represents a monocarboxylic acid residue, A represents an aromatic dicarboxylic acid residue, G represents an aliphatic diol residue, m and n each represent a number of repeating units enclosed in the parentheses and are 1 or more, and A's may be the same or different and G's may be the same or different for the different repeating units enclosed in the parentheses.

3. The dispersant for calcium carbonate according to claim 1 , wherein the melting point is 130 to 230° C.

4. The dispersant for calcium carbonate according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic dicarboxylic acid residue is a terephthalic acid residue, an isophthalic acid residue, or a 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid residue.

5. The dispersant for calcium carbonate according to claim 1 , wherein the monocarboxylic acid residue is an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid residue having 1 to 17 carbon atoms.

6. A calcium carbonate composition comprising calcium carbonate (A) and a dispersant for calcium carbonate (B), the dispersant for calcium carbonate (B) being contained in an amount of 0.05 to 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the calcium carbonate (A);
wherein the dispersant for calcium carbonate (B) comprises a polyester resin containing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid residue, an aliphatic diol residue, and a monoalcohol residue or a monocarboxylic acid residue and having a melting point of 100 to 230° C.,
wherein the aliphatic diol residue is a 1,3-propylene glycol residue, a 1,4-butanediol residue, or a 1,6-hexanediol residue, and
wherein the aliphatic monoalcohol residue is an octanol residue, a 2-ethylhexanol residue, a nonanol residue, an isononanol residue, a decanol residue, or an undecanol residue.

7. The calcium carbonate composition according to claim 6 , wherein the dispersant for calcium carbonate (B) is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 3 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the calcium carbonate (A).

8. A thermoplastic resin composition comprising calcium carbonate (A), a dispersant for calcium carbonate (B), and a thermoplastic resin (C), the dispersant for calcium carbonate (B) being contained in an amount of 0.05 to 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the calcium carbonate (A);
wherein the dispersant for calcium carbonate (B) comprises a polyester resin containing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid residue, an aliphatic diol residue, and a monoalcohol residue or a monocarboxylic acid residue and having a melting point of 100 to 230° C.,
wherein the aliphatic diol residue is a 1,3-propylene glycol residue, a 1,4-butanediol residue, or a 1,6-hexanediol residue, and
wherein the aliphatic monoalcohol residue is an octanol residue, a 2-ethylhexanol residue, a nonanol residue, an isononanol residue, a decanol residue, or an undecanol residue.

9. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein the dispersant for calcium carbonate (B) is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 3 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the calcium carbonate (A).

10. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein the thermoplastic resin (C) is a polyolefin resin or a polyester resin.

11. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein the thermoplastic resin (C) is a polyethylene resin, a polyethylene terephthalate resin, or polylactic acid.
