Abstract

Provided is a polyamide resin slider for a slide fastener which provides both strength and durability. The slider material is a polyamide resin composition that includes an aliphatic polyamide having a melting point of 220° C. to 310° C., an aromatic polyamide having a melting point of 230° C. to 310° C., and reinforced fiber; wherein the ratio of the aromatic polyamide present in the summed mass of the aliphatic polyamide and the aromatic polyamide is greater than or equal to 10% by weight and less than or equal to 50% by weight.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A resin slider for slide fasteners, formed by using as a material a polyamide resin composition including an aliphatic polyamide having a melting point of 220 to 310° C., an aromatic polyamide having a melting point of 230 to 310° C., and reinforcing fiber, wherein a ratio of the aromatic polyamide in a total mass of the aliphatic polyamide and the aromatic polyamide is 10% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less,
wherein a melting point difference between the aliphatic polyamide and the aromatic polyamide is 50° C. or less, and
wherein the melting points of the aliphatic polyamide and the aromatic polyamide are each defined as a peak top temperature of an endothermic peak when the endothermic quantity is measured by differential scanning calorimeter.

2. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the reinforcing fiber in a total mass of the aliphatic polyamide, the aromatic polyamide and the reinforcing fiber is 50 to 60% by mass.

3. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic polyamide includes one or more selected from the group consisting of polyamide 66, polyamide 610 and polyamide 612.

4. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic polyamide includes polyamide 66.

5. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic polyamide includes polyamide MXD6.

6. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the aromatic polyamide in the total mass of the aliphatic polyamide and the aromatic polyamide is 20 to 40% by mass.

7. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition includes a pigment in a content of 1 to 5% by mass based on the total mass of the aliphatic polyamide, the aromatic polyamide and the reinforcing fiber.

8. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein a b value in a Lab color system in an undyed state is 10 or less.

9. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 , wherein the slider is dyed.

10. A slide fastener provided with the resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 .

11. The resin slider for slide fasteners according to claim 1 ,
wherein the aliphatic polyamide is one or more selected from the group consisting of polyamide 66, polyamide 610, and polyamide 612, and
wherein the aromatic polyamide is one or more selected from the group consisting of polyamide MXD6 and polyamide 9T.
