Abstract
A polyamide resin composition for a blow-molded article exposed to high-pressure hydrogen gas contains: 70 to 99 parts by weight of a polyamide 6 resin (A); 1 to 30 parts by weight of an impact modifier (B); and 0.005 to 1 parts by weight of a metal halide (C) with respect to a total of 100 parts by weight of the polyamide 6 resin (A) and the impact modifier (B). The polyamide resin composition has a melt tension of 20 mN or more when measured at 260° C. and a take-up speed at strand break of 50 m/min or more when measured at 260° C.

A polyamide resin composition for a blow-molded article exposed to high-pressure hydrogen gas,
- the polyamide resin composition comprising:
- 70 to 99 parts by weight of a polyamide 6 resin (A);
- 1 to 30 parts by weight of an impact modifier (B);
- and
- 0.005 to 1 parts by weight of a metal halide (C) with respect to a total of 100 parts by weight of the polyamide 6 resin (A) and the impact modifier (B),
- wherein the polyamide 6 resin (A) has a relative viscosity (ηr) of 3.3 to 7.0 at a temperature of 25° C. in a 98% sulfuric acid solution having a resin concentration of 0.01 g/ml,
- the impact modifier (B) comprising an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or its derivative, wherein the derivative of an unsaturated carboxylic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound having a carboxyl group, metal salts, acid halides, esters, acid anhydrides, amides, and imides of unsaturated carboxylic acids,
- an amount of the unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or its derivative introduced from the modification is 0.1 to 2.5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the ethylene/α-olefin copolymer modified with the unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or its derivative,
- using the following measurement, wherein the polyamide resin composition has a melt tension of 20 mN or more when measured at 260° C. and a take-up speed at strand break of 50 m/min or more when measured using Capillograph 1C (cylinder inner diameter:
- 9.55 mm, orifice length:
- 10.0 mm, inner diameter:
- 1.0 mm), pellets of the polyamide resin composition are filled in a cylinder in which a test temperature is set to 260° C., the pellets are compacted and held for 20 minutes to melt the pellets, and the melted resin is then extruded in a strand form at 260° C. from an orifice at a piston speed of 10 mm/min, winding the strand through a lower circular guide of a tension detection pulley at a take-up speed of 10 m/min, and a tension to be detected was taken as the melt tension of the polyamide resin composition, and
- after the melt tension was stabilized at a take-up speed of 10 m/min, the strand was wound while the take-up speed was accelerated at an acceleration of 400 m/min2, and a take-up speed at the time when the strand was broken was taken as the take-up speed at strand break of the polyamide resin composition.
