Abstract

A thermoplastic resin composition for automotive interior components and a molded article using the same. The thermoplastic resin composition includes: a base resin comprising about 55 wt % to about 90 wt % of a polycarbonate resin and about 10 wt % to about 45 wt % of a vinyl cyanide compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer; about 5 parts by weight to about 30 parts by weight of an impact modifier; and about 1 part by weight to about 8 parts by weight of a matting agent, each based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin. The impact modifier includes a first impact modifier which is a core-shell type acrylic rubber-modified graft copolymer, and a second impact modifier which is a core-shell type diene-acrylic rubber-modified graft copolymer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A thermoplastic resin composition for automotive interior components, comprising:
a base resin comprising about 55 wt % to about 90 wt % of a polycarbonate resin and about 10 wt % to about 45 wt % of a vinyl cyanide compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer; about 5 parts by weight to about 30 parts by weight of an impact modifier based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin; and about 1 part by weight to about 8 parts by weight of a matting agent based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin, wherein the impact modifier comprises a first impact modifier which is a core-shell type acrylic rubber-modified graft copolymer, and a second impact modifier which is a core-shell type diene-acrylic rubber-modified graft copolymer.

2 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , further comprising an alkyl (meth)acrylate compound-aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound copolymer.

3 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the matting agent comprises an aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of about 1,000,000 g/mol to about 10,000,000 g/mol.

4 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 3 , wherein the aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound copolymer is a copolymer of a monomer mixture comprising about 65 wt % to about 85 wt % of an aromatic vinyl compound and about 15 wt % to about 35 wt % of a vinyl cyanide compound.

5 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the first impact modifier comprises: an acrylic rubber polymer core comprising a polymer of an alkyl (meth)acrylate compound and an alkyl (meth)acrylate compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer; and a shell layer formed by grafting an aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound copolymer to the acrylic rubber polymer core.

6 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 5 , wherein the first impact modifier comprises about 55 wt % to about 65 wt % of the acrylic rubber polymer core and about 35 wt % to about 45 wt % of the shell layer, and, in the shell layer, an amount ratio of the aromatic vinyl compound to the vinyl cyanide compound ranges from about 4:1 to about 1.5:1.

7 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the second impact modifier is a core-shell type diene-acrylic rubber-modified graft copolymer and comprises: a diene-acrylic rubber polymer core comprising a diene rubber polymer and a polymer of alkyl (meth)acrylate; and a shell layer formed by grafting a polymer of alkyl (meth)acrylate to the diene-acrylic rubber polymer core.

8 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 7 , wherein the second impact modifier comprises about 55 wt % to about 65 wt % of the diene-acrylic rubber polymer core and about 35 wt % to about 45 wt % of the shell layer.

9 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the first impact modifier to the second impact modifier ranges from about 3:1 to about 1:1.

10 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 2 , comprising the alkyl (meth)acrylate compound-aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound copolymer in an amount of about 10 parts by weight to about 20 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the base resin.

11 . The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 2 , wherein the alkyl (meth)acrylate compound-aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound copolymer is a copolymer of a monomer mixture comprising about 2 wt % to about 10 wt % of a vinyl cyanide compound, about 15 wt % to about 25 wt % of an aromatic vinyl compound, and about 65 wt % to about 80 wt % of an alkyl (meth)acrylate compound.

12 . A molded article for automotive interior components using the thermoplastic resin composition for automotive interior components according to claim 1 .

13 . The molded article according to claim 12 , wherein the molded article has an Izod impact resistance (⅛″, notched) of about 55 kgf·cm/cm to about 80 kgf·cm/cm, as measured at room temperature in accordance with ASTM D256 and has a gloss of about 15% to about 50%, as measured at 60° in accordance with ASTM D523.

14 . The molded article according to claim 12 , wherein the molded article has a color difference (ΔE) of about 2.0 to about 2.9, as measured under weather exposure conditions of 2,500 kJ/m 2 in accordance with SAE J1960.
