Abstract

A polyacetal resin composition, contains a polyacetal resin, a hindered phenol antioxidant represented by a specific general formula and a fatty acid calcium salt, which can be molded. The content of the hindered phenol antioxidant in the polyacetal resin composition is from 0.05 part by mass to 1.0 part by mass (inclusive) relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyacetal resin, and the content of the fatty acid calcium salt in the polyacetal resin composition is from 0.01 part by mass to 2.0 parts by mass (inclusive) relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyacetal resin.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fuel-resistant resin plastic body comprising:
a polyacetal resin composition comprising a polyacetal resin, a hindered phenol antioxidant and a fatty acid calcium salt,
wherein the polyacetal resin is a copolymer containing a monomer having an oxymethylene group as a constitutional unit and an additional constitutional unit,
the additional constitutional unit is an oxy C2-6 alkylene unit selected from the group consisting of an oxyethylene group, an oxypropylene group and an oxytetramethylene group,
the hindered phenol antioxidant is tris-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-isocyanurate or 1,3,5-tris(4-t-butyl-3-hydroxy-2,6,-dimethylbenzyl)isocyanuric acid,
the fatty acid calcium salt is a stearate or stearic acid derivative,
in the polyacetal resin composition, the content of the hindered phenol antioxidant is from 0.1 parts by weight to 0.6 parts weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyacetal resin, and
in the polyacetal resin composition, the content of the fatty acid calcium salt is from 0.01 parts by weight to 2.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyacetal resin.

2. The fuel-resistant resin plastic body according to claim 1 , wherein the polyacetal resin is a homopolymer having only an oxymethylene group as a constitutional unit.

3. The fuel-resistant resin plastic body according to claim 1 , wherein the additional constitutional unit is present in an amount from about 0.01 to 30 mol %.

4. The fuel-resistant resin plastic body according to claim 1 , wherein the polyacetal resin is a copolymer selected from the group consisting of a binary copolymer and a ternary terpolymer.

5. The fuel-resistant resin plastic body according to claim 1 , wherein the polyacetal resin is a copolymer selected from the group consisting of a block copolymer, a graft copolymer and a random copolymer.

6. The fuel-resistant resin plastic body according to claim 1 , wherein the polyacetal resin has a structure selected from the group consisting of a linear structure, a branched structure and a cross-linked structure.

7. The A fuel-resistant resin plastic body according to claim 1 , wherein the polyacetal resin has a terminal end stabilized through esterification.

8. The fuel-resistant resin plastic body according to claim 1 , wherein a tensile elongation retention rate of the polyacetal resin composition according to ASTM D-638 is at least 101% to no more than 109%, when immersing an ASTM No. 1 dumbbell test piece of the same composition as the polyacetal resin composition into JIS No. 2 light oil at 120° C., then taking the test piece out after 70 days.

9. A method of using a resin plastic body, the method comprising
directly contacting the resin plastic body with a fuel oil, wherein the resin plastic body comprises a polyacetal resin composition, wherein the polyacetal resin composition comprises a polyacetal resin, a hindered phenol antioxidant and a fatty acid calcium salt,
wherein the polyacetal resin is a copolymer containing a monomer having an oxymethylene group as a constitutional unit and an additional constitutional unit,
the additional constitutional unit is an oxy C2-6 alkylene unit selected from the group consisting of an oxyethylene group, an oxypropylene group and an oxytetramethylene group,
the hindered phenol antioxidant is tris-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-isocyanurate or 1,3,5-tris(4-t-butyl-3-hydroxy-2,6,-dimethylbenzyl)isocyanuric acid,
the fatty acid calcium salt is a stearate or stearic acid derivative,
in the polyacetal resin composition, the content of the hindered phenol antioxidant is from 0.1 parts by weight to 0.6 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyacetal resin, and in the polyacetal resin composition, the content of the fatty acid calcium salt is from 0.01 parts by weight to 2.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyacetal resin.
