Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電線、ケーブル等の配線作業および消磁コイル等に使用される粘着テープに関し、燃焼時にハロゲン含有有毒ガスを発生しないようにしたノンハロゲン粘着テープであって、傷付き白化性を改良したものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、電線、ケーブル等の配線作業および消磁コイル等に使用される粘着テープとしては、軟質ポリ塩化ビニルからなる厚さ0.1〜0.3mm、幅15〜30mmのテープ状の基材の一方の表面にブチルゴム系粘着剤などからなる粘着剤層を形成したもの(以下、「PVC製粘着テープ」という。)が広く使用されている。
【0003】
ところで、現在環境問題が重視され、ダイオキシンの発生源とされている塩化ビニル系プラスチックの使用を取りやめる動きがある。このため、電線、ケーブルなどの被覆材についても脱塩化ビニル化が進んでおり、電線、ケーブルの接続等に使用されている粘着テープにも脱塩化ビニル化が要求されつつある。
【0004】
この要求を満たすものとして、粘着テープの基材をなす樹脂組成物にポリオレフィン系ポリマーを使用するとともに、例えば、ノンハロゲン系難燃剤として水酸化マグネシウムなどの金属水酸化物を配合することによって難燃性を付与し、燃焼時にダイオキシンやハロゲン含有ガスを発生しないようにしたものが提案されている。(例えば、特許文献1参照)
【0005】
しかしながら、このような基材をなす樹脂組成物にポリオレフィン系ポリマーを使用する粘着テープ(以下、「ポリオレフィン系ポリマー製粘着テープ」という。)にあっては、PVC製粘着テープに比べて難燃性が劣るといった問題があった。そして、ポリオレフィン系ポリマーからなる基材に金属水酸化物の難燃剤を配合したものでは、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足する組成物の確立は非常に困難であった。
【0006】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−11400号公報(第2−4頁)
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この発明は上記従来の問題点に鑑み、ポリオレフィン系ポリマー製粘着テープにおいて、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足させるようにしたものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、この発明による粘着テープは、テープ基材と粘着剤層とからなるノンハロゲン難燃粘着テープであって、テープ基材が難燃層と表層とから構成される二層以上の多層フィルムからなり、さらに前記難燃層をなす樹脂組成物が、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合したものである。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明による粘着テープは、テープ基材と、この基材の上に形成された粘着剤層とからなるとともに、前記テープ基材が、▲1▼外観、傷付き白化性、伸び白化性に優れる表層と、▲2▼機械特性、電気特性、柔軟性、難燃性を保証するための難燃層とから構成される。
【0010】
テープ基材を構成する表層は一層構造に限られることなく、例えば、クリヤー(透明)層と着色層とからなる二層構造や、クリヤー(透明)層と第1着色層と第2着色層との三層構造としてもよく、意匠性等との要求によって、二層以上の多層構造としてもよい。また、難燃層2についても、一層構造に限られることなく、二層以上の多層構造としてもよい。
【0011】
この発明による粘着テープでは、テープ基材の表層について、外観(意匠性)、傷付き白化性、伸び白化性に優れた樹脂組成物を使用する。
そして表層をなす樹脂組成物としては、ポリオレフィン系ポリマーをベースポリマーとするものが用いられ、具体的にはポリエチレン、ポリププロピレン、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体、エチレン−ブテン−1共重合体、アクリルゴム、EPゴムなどの1種または2種以上のブレンドポリマーが用いられる。
この樹脂組成物には、さらに必要に応じて老化防止剤、着色剤、無機充填剤、紫外線吸収剤、銅害防止剤などを適宜配合してもよい。
【0012】
さらにこの発明による粘着テープでは、テープ基材の難燃層について、機械特性、耐熱性、柔軟性を有する樹脂組成物を使用する。
そして難燃層をなす樹脂組成物としては、ポリオレフィン系ポリマーをベースポリマーとするものが用いられ、具体的にはポリエチレン、ポリププロピレン、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体、エチレン−ブテン−1共重合体、アクリルゴム、EPゴムなどの1種または2種以上のブレンドポリマーが用いられるが、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを必須成分として全量の70wt%以上含むとともに、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むものが用いられる。
【0013】
超低密度ポリエチレンとしては、密度が0.89g/cm以下であるものが用いられ、メルトフローレート(温度190℃、荷重2.16kg、時間10分)が0.1〜10のものが好ましく、具体的には日本ユニカー社製、商品名「DFDB1088」、「DFDB1085」などが使用できる。
【0014】
また、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体としては、好ましくはエチルアクリレート含有量がモル比で30〜50%、メルトフローレート0.1〜50のものが用いられる。
【0015】
また、粘着テープに高難燃性を付与する(UL510に規定する難燃試験に合格する)ために、ノンハロゲン系難燃剤としてシラン処理した金属水酸化物を配合するとともに、難燃助剤を配合する。
【0016】
この金属水酸化物には、水酸化マグネシウム、水酸化アルミニウム、水酸化カルシウムなどが用いられ、なかでも難燃性付与効果が高い水酸化マグネシウムが好ましい。なお金属水酸化物を配合するにあたって、金属水酸化物の表面にシランカップリング剤で表面処理したものを使用することによって、傷付き白化性改良に効果的である。
粘着テープに高難燃性を付与する場合、ポリオレフィン系ポリマー100重量部に対して、金属水酸化物を80〜150重量部、好ましくは100〜130重量部配合する。80重量部未満では必要な難燃性が得られず(UL510に規定する難燃試験に合格できず)、150重量部を超えると組成物の機械強度、伸び等が大きく低下する。
【0017】
また樹脂組成物の難燃性を高めるために、ガム状シリコーン、シリコーン樹脂粉末などのシリコーン化合物、赤リン、ポリリン酸メラミン、ポリリン酸アンモニウム、ヒドロキシスズ酸亜鉛、モリブデン化合物、モリブデン水酸化アルミニウムなどから選択される1種または2種以上を混合した難燃助剤を適宜配合する。この難燃助剤の配合量は、ベースポリマー100重量部に対して、1〜15重量部、好ましくは8〜12重量部とされる。1重量部未満では配合効果が得られず、15重量部を超えるとコストが嵩む。
【0018】
なお、難燃層をなす樹脂組成物にも、さらに必要に応じて老化防止剤、着色剤、無機充填剤、紫外線吸収剤、銅害防止剤などを適宜配合してもよい。
【0019】
さらに、この樹脂組成物について、重金属含有量0.1重量%以下で、かつ塩素、フッ素、臭素などのハロゲン元素を含有しないことが好ましい。重金属含有量0.1重量%以下とすることで、燃焼灰分中に有害とされるカドミウム、鉛などが規制値以下となり、処分が容易となる。
【0020】
また、上記樹脂組成物からなる基材は、体積抵抗率を1013Ω/cm以上であることが好ましく、これにより得られる粘着テープは充分な電気絶縁性を有し、PVC製粘着テープと同様に電気絶縁処理にも使用し得る。
【0021】
上述したように、表層と難燃層からなるテープ基材の片面(難燃層側)に粘着剤層を形成したノンハロゲン難燃粘着テープにおいて、傷付き白化性や伸び白化性に優れる樹脂組成物からなる表層と、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合した樹脂組成物からなる難燃層とから構成される多層構造のテープ基材を使用して粘着テープを作製することによって、UL510に規定された難燃性試験に合格し、かつ引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率50%超)、柔軟性を有し、傷付き白化性も改良された、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足した粘着テープを取得することができる。
【0022】
次に、粘着剤層としては、ハロゲンやリン、その他有害な元素が含有されていなければ特に限定されず、ゴム系粘着剤、アクリル系粘着剤などの一般的な粘着剤が使用できる。また粘着剤には必要に応じて粘着付与剤、軟化剤、酸化防止剤、老化防止剤、顔料、充填剤等が添加されてもよい。
【0023】
粘着剤の具体例としては、次の粘着剤を1種もしくは2種以上組み合わせて用いることができる。
(イ)SBR系粘着剤、(ロ)アクリル系粘着剤、(ハ)天然ゴム系粘着剤、(二)イソプレンゴム系粘着剤、(ホ)イソブチレンゴム系粘着剤
【0024】
SBR系粘着剤としては、スチレンーブタジエンゴムを主成分とし、これにロジン、ロジン誘導体、テルペン樹脂、石油樹脂、コーバル、アルキルフェノールなどの粘着付与剤(タッキファイヤー)や、プロセスオイルなどの軟化剤、カーボンブラック、ケイ酸塩、炭酸カルシウム、クレーなどの充填剤、トルエン、ヘキサン、無鉛ガソリンなどの溶剤、老化防止剤などを配合したものなどが用いられる。
【0025】
アクリル系粘着剤としては、種々のアクリル酸エステルを2種以上共重合したガラス転移温度が−20℃以下のアクリル共重合体を主成分とするもので、必要に応じて上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
【0026】
アクリル系粘着剤は、一般にブチルゴム系粘着剤やSBR系粘着剤などに比べて、粘着性が高いため、粘着剤層の層厚が薄くても十分強力な粘着力が得られる。粘着剤層の層厚が薄くてすめば、粘着テープ全体の厚さを一定とすると、基材の厚さを厚くすることができ、粘着テープの基材の機械的強度を高めることが可能となる。
【0027】
天然ゴム系粘着剤としては、天然ゴムを主成分とし、これに上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
イソプレンゴム系粘着剤としては、イソプレンゴムを主成分とし、これに上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
イソブチレンゴム系粘着剤としては、イソブチレンゴムを主成分とし、これに上述の粘着付与剤、軟化剤、充填剤、溶剤、老化防止剤などを適宜配合したものなどが用いられる。
【0028】
また、粘着テープを製造する方法としては、特に限定されないが、前記の樹脂組成物を溶融混練し、押出成形、インフレーション成形、カレンダー成形などによって、厚さ0.1〜0.3mmの広幅のフィルムを製造し、粘着テープの基材とする。次いで、この基材の片面に前記の粘着剤をコーティング装置により所定の厚さに塗布した後、スリッターにて幅15〜30mmに裁断して巻き取る方法などがある。
【0029】
この場合、テープ基材の粘着剤を塗布する面(表層の逆側)に、コロナ処理、プライマー処理等を行うことにより、粘着剤層とテープ基材との接着力を向上させる方法を採ることも可能である。
また粘着剤層の厚さも限定されるものでなく、接着性および難燃性を損なわない程度にすればよく、数μm〜500μmで使用可能であり、一般には10μm〜200μmの範囲が好ましい。
【0030】
以下に、本発明による粘着テープの実施例を挙げ、本発明を詳細に説明する。なお本発明は、以下の実施例のみに限定されるものではない。
【0031】
テープ基材をなす表層と難燃層については、表1に示すような配合組成(重量部表示)の樹脂組成物を用意し、これらの材料を使用して2層(表層と難燃層)インフレーション成形して全体の厚さが0.10mm〜0.17mm(0.10mm、0.15mm、0.17mm)のフィルム状のテープ基材(二層構造)を取得し、このテープ基材の片面(表層の逆側)に天然ゴム系粘着剤を塗布した後、スリッターで裁断し、幅19mmの粘着テープを取得した。
なお比較例として1層(難燃層のみ)インフレーション成形して厚さ0.10mmまたは0.17mmのフィルム状のテープ基材(一層構造)を取得し、このテープ基材の片面に天然ゴム系粘着剤を塗布した後、スリッターで裁断し、幅19mmの粘着テープを取得した(表2の比較例2,比較例5を参照)。

【0034】
なお表1に、各樹脂組成物(表層もしくは難燃層)からなるテープ基材(厚さ0.17mm)の引張強度(MPa)や伸び(%)、加熱変形率(%)について示す。
【0035】
そして、各樹脂組成物からなる表層と難燃層とから構成された多層構造のテープ基材(厚さ0.10mm〜0.17mm)において、表2に示すように表層と難燃層の層厚をそれぞれ変化させた粘着テープ(実施例1〜6、比較例1〜6)を取得し、各粘着テープのテープ特性について評価した。
【0036】
表2に示す粘着テープの柔軟性特性や難燃性特性についての物性値の試験方法は、いずれも、UL510に定められた規定に基づいて試験を行った。
柔軟性については、柔軟性試験に合格したものを○で示すとともに、柔軟性試験に合格するが柔軟性にあまり優れないものを△で示し、不合格ものを×で示した。
難燃性については、難燃性試験に合格したものを○で示すとともに、難燃性試験に合格するが難燃性にあまり優れないものを△で示し、不合格のものを×で示した。
【0037】
表2に示す粘着テープの表面硬度についての評価は、以下の試験方法によって評価した。

【0038】
【表2】

【0039】
表2の結果より、本発明による実施例の配合組成の樹脂組成物からなる表層と難燃層とからなる多層構造のテープ基材、つまり密度0.89g/cm以下の低密度ポリエチレンを使用した表層と、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合した難燃層とから構成されるテープ基材を使用することで、UL510に規定する試験方法により粘着テープ特性を判定したところ、引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率が50%を超える)を示し、柔軟性試験に合格する粘着テープを取得することができた。
そして、表層と難燃層とからなる多層構造(二層構造)のテープ基材の厚さが0.10mm〜0.17mmに対して、表層の層厚を、全体の厚さの5%〜30%の範囲内とすることによって、さらに難燃性および表面硬度の優れた粘着テープを取得することができた。
すなわち、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足した粘着テープを取得することができた。
【0040】
一方、テープ基材の厚さが0.10mm〜0.17mmに対して、表層の層厚が、全体の厚さの5%〜30%の範囲外にある場合は、引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率が50%を超える)を示し、柔軟性試験に合格するものの、難燃性が低下したり、表面硬度が満足できるものでなかった。
【0041】
特に、難燃層のみ(一層構造)のテープ基材を使用した場合(比較例2,5)は、UL510に規定する試験方法により粘着テープ特性を判定したところ、引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率が50%を超える)を示し、柔軟性試験、難燃性試験に合格するものの、粘着テープの表面硬度試験が不合格で、傷付き白化性について満足できなかった。
【0042】
また、表層と難燃層とからなる多層構造(二層構造)のテープ基材の厚さが0.10mm〜0.17mmに対して、表層の層厚を厚くして、全体の厚さの30%を超過させた場合(比較例1,3,4,6)、引張強度10.3MPa以上、伸び60%以上、加熱変形率50%以下(加熱変形残率が50%を超える)を示し、柔軟性試験、表面硬度試験に合格するものの、難燃性が低下して、粘着テープの難燃性が満足できなかった。
【0043】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、この発明によれば、燃焼時にダイオキシンやハロゲン含有ガスなどの有害物質を発生することがないポリオレフィン系ポリマー製粘着テープにおいて、テープ基材を表層と難燃層との多層構造(多層フィルム)から構成するとともに、外観、傷付き白化性、伸び白化性に優れた樹脂組成物からなる表層と、密度0.89g/cm以下の超低密度ポリエチレンを70wt%以上と、エチルアクリレート含有量30モル%以上のエチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体を1〜30wt%含むポリオレフィン系ベースポリマー100重量部に、シラン処理した金属水酸化物80〜150重量部と難燃助剤1〜15重量部を配合した樹脂組成物からなる難燃層とから構成されるテープ基材を使用して粘着テープを作製することによって、難燃性、機械強度、耐熱性、柔軟性、傷付き白化性の何れの特性をも満足した粘着テープを提供することができた。つまり、この発明による粘着テープによれば、従来のPVC製粘着テープと同等以上の難燃性能を有し、かつテープ特性に優れるとともに、燃焼時にダイオキシンやハロゲン含有ガスなどの有害物質を発生することがなく、発煙量も少量となる。[0001]

As the metal hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide or the like is used, and among them, magnesium hydroxide having a high flame-retardant effect is preferable. When the metal hydroxide is blended, the surface of the metal hydroxide treated with a silane coupling agent is used, which is effective in improving the whitening property with damage.
When imparting high flame retardancy to the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, 80 to 150 parts by weight, preferably 100 to 130 parts by weight of a metal hydroxide is added to 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin-based polymer. If the amount is less than 80 parts by weight, the necessary flame retardancy cannot be obtained (the flame retardancy test specified in UL 510 cannot be passed), and if it exceeds 150 parts by weight, the mechanical strength, elongation, etc. of the composition are greatly reduced.
