Abstract
A branched or crosslinked polyacetal resin is excellent in blow moldability, has impact resistances such as plane impact resistance, and the smoothness of the inner surfaces of moldings produced therefrom, and is suitable for molding, particularly blow molding. It can be produced by the bulk polymerization of (A) trioxane with (B) a cyclic ether and/or cyclic formal and (C) a polyfunctional glycidyl ether compound in the presence of (D) a cationic polymerization catalyst, a mixture prepared by mixing the cyclic ether and/or cyclic formal (B) with the polyfunctional glycidyl ether compound (C) and the cationic polymerization catalyst (D) is added to trioxane (A) to conduct the polymerization.
Claims6
A process for producing a branched or crosslinked polyacetal resin, which comprises bulk-polymerizing (A) trioxane with (B) at least one of a cyclic ether and cyclic formal, and (C) a polyfunctional glycidyl ether compound in the presence of (D) a cationic polymerization catalyst, wherein prior to said bulk-polymerization, there includes the step of forming a preparatory mixture of components (B), (C) and (D), and thereafter adding the preparatory mixture to the trioxane component (A) to conduct the bulk-polymerization.
