Description

The present invention relates to a (meth) acrylic resin composition, a resin molded product, a lighting lamp cover, and a lighting signboard.

The (meth) acrylic resin containing methyl methacrylate as a main component has excellent transparency and weather resistance, and also has relatively well-balanced performance in resin physical properties such as mechanical strength, thermal properties, and moldability. doing. In particular, (meth) acrylic resin having high flame retardancy is used in many applications such as lighting materials, signboards, decorative members, and building members.
Recently, flame-retardant (meth) acrylic resin may be used for lighting signboards and lighting applications installed indoors and outdoors. In this case, in order to conceal the shape of a light source such as a fluorescent lamp or LED with a lighting signboard or a lighting cover, a (meth) acrylic resin having a milky half color for exhibiting appropriate light diffusivity is desired. There is.

As a technique for imparting a milky half color to exhibit light diffusivity to a flame-retardant (meth) acrylic resin product, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 describe flame-retardant phosphate containing a halide phosphate. A methacrylic resin plate has been proposed, and Patent Document 2 describes that organic or inorganic fine particles are used as a light diffusing agent.
Further, Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 propose a flame-retardant methacrylic resin plate containing a methacrylic resin, a phosphorus-based flame retardant, and barium sulfate and titanium oxide as a light diffusing agent.
