Method for producing flame-retardant thermoplastic elastomer composition

摘要

A method is provided for producing a flame retardant thermoplastic elastomer composition, wherein the method includes (1) a step of preparing a thermoplastic elastomer composition by dynamically vulcanizing a thermoplastic elastomer composition precursor containing (A) an ethylene-α-olefin-based copolymer rubber, (B) a propylene-based polymer and (C) a mineral oil-based softening agent in the presence of (D) a crosslinking agent, and (2) a step of kneading the thermoplastic elastomer composition, (E) a halogen-free flame retardant, (F) a zinc oxide, and optionally (G) a polyhydric compound.

1. A method for producing a flame retardant thermoplastic elastomer composition, wherein the method comprises
a step of preparing a thermoplastic elastomer composition by dynamically vulcanizing a thermoplastic elastomer composition precursor comprising 10 to 75% by weight of (A) an ethylene-α-olefin-based copolymer rubber, 10 to 50% by weight of (B) a propylene-based polymer and 1 to 60% by weight of (C) a mineral oil-based softening agent in the presence of 0.001 to 5 parts by weight of (D) a crosslinking agent per 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic elastomer composition precursor, where the total amount of the ethylene-α-olefin-based copolymer rubber (A), the propylene-based polymer (B) and the mineral oil-based softening agent (C) is taken as 100% by weight, anda step of kneading the thermoplastic elastomer composition, (E) a halogen-free flame retardant, (F) a zinc oxide and (G) a polyhydric compound where the combined amount of the halogen-free flame retardant (E) and the zinc oxide (F) is 30 to 70 parts by weight and the amount of the polyhydric compound (G) is 0.5 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic elastomer composition precursor.
