Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、優れた発泡性と柔軟性を有するウレタン系樹脂発泡シートに関する。
【0002】
【技術背景】
各種の車両や建造物の内装材として、家具、鞄類、履物類の表面材として、装丁などの雑貨品の材料として、あるいは種々の分野におけるシート類や外装材などとして、従来、良好な風合いを出すために必要な優れた柔軟性を有するのみならず、コストも低廉な塩化ビニル系樹脂が多用されて来た。
【0003】
しかし、近年の脱塩素の流れから、ポリエチレン、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体、熱可塑性オレフィンエラストマーなどのオレフィン系樹脂を使用した内・外装材やシート類に移行しつつある(特開2001−287304号公報)。
【0004】
ところで、これらオレフィン系樹脂を使用する内・外装材やシート類にあっては、ボリューム感を付与するために、あるいは材料削減によるコストダウンのために、発泡層を設ける場合が多い。
但し、オレフィン系樹脂の多くは、風合いを出すために必要な柔軟性に優れるものは、発泡性に劣り、発泡性に優れるものは、剛性が高いと言う難点を有しており、塩化ビニル系樹脂のように、柔軟性と発泡性の両方に優れたものは現在のところ見当たらない。
【0005】
また、塩素を含まない熱可塑性ポリウレタンからなる発泡層を、基材上に溶融製膜法により成形する技術も開発されている(特開平10−278182号公報)。
しかし、溶融製膜法による成形技術では、生産性が悪く、従来の塩化ビニル系樹脂を使用する場合のような、低コストでの発泡シートの提供を実現することは極めて困難である。
【0006】
一方、シートの成形方法としは、上記のような溶融製膜法の他に、従来から、Tダイによる押出成形法、プレス成形法、カレンダー成形法等種々の方法が用いられている。
これらの成形法のうち、生産スピードの観点からはカレンダー成形法が最適とされている。
しかし、周知の通り、カレンダー成形方法では、多段のロール間を原料樹脂配合物が通過する際に、スムーズな通過が困難な場合が多々発生し、樹脂配合物がロールに付着したり、シートが千切れたり、あるいはシートに皺が入る等の問題が頻発する。

【特許文献2】特開平10−278182号公報
【0007】
【発明の目的】
本発明は、以上の諸点を考慮し、ハロゲンを含まず、風合い上必須の柔軟性が良好で、たつ発泡性にも優れた樹脂による、柔軟性に富み、従って良好な風合いを有するのみならず、優れた発泡性をも有する発泡シートを、カレンダー成形により提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
【発明の概要】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明者らは、(1)先ず、ハロゲンを含まず、柔軟性が良好で、かつ発泡性にも優れた樹脂を追求した結果、前記の特開平10−278182号公報にある熱可塑性のウレタンエラストマーが適しているとの知見を得た。
(2)次に、熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーを良好な柔軟性を持って発泡させるための発泡剤を検討したところ、マイクロカプセルなどの熱膨張による物理発泡剤ではなく、やはり前記の特開平10−278182号公報にある熱分解による化学発泡剤が適しているとの知見を得た。
(3)そして、上記の熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーをカレンダー成形する際の原料配合物のロールへの付着、シートの千切れや皺の発生等の問題を回避するために加える成形助剤と、上記の化学発泡剤とを、無数に存在する成形助剤と化学発泡剤の中から、成形助剤と化学発泡剤の作用が熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーに対して良好に発現し得るのみならず、これらの良好な作用を互いに阻害することのない成形助剤と化学発泡剤の最適な組合せを追求した結果、化学発泡剤としてはアゾジカルボンアミドが適しており、成形助剤としては脂肪酸亜鉛が適しているとの結論を得た。
【0009】
本発明は、これらの知見に基づいてなされたものであって、アゾジカルボンアミドを発泡剤とし、脂肪酸亜鉛を成形助剤として含む熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーをカレンダー成形してなることを特徴とするウレタン系樹脂発泡シートを要旨とする。
上記の成形助剤である脂肪酸亜鉛の配合量は、熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマー100重量部に対し、亜鉛の量で、0.05〜1.0重量部とすることが好適である。

本発明における熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーは、ポリエステル系、ポリエーテル系、ポリカーボネート系等の各種のポリオールと;脂肪族、脂環式、芳香族等の各種の有機ポリイソシアネートと;これらの原料からなるウレタンエラストマーの鎖伸長剤として従来から用いられている各種の鎖伸長剤を原料とするものが用いられる。
熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーは、1種単独で用いてもよいし、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。
また、熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーと相溶性のある樹脂を1種または複数種ブレンドしたものであってもよい。
【0011】
上記の熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーには、発泡剤としてアゾジカルボンアミドと、カレンダー成形時の成形助剤として脂肪酸亜鉛とを配合する。
発泡剤としてのアゾジカルボンアミドの配合量は、製品発泡シートの発泡倍率に応じた量とすればよい。
【0012】
成形助剤としての脂肪酸亜鉛としては、ステアリン酸亜鉛、ラウリン酸亜鉛、カプリル酸亜鉛、パルミチン酸亜鉛等の炭素数8〜18程度の脂肪酸のものが使用でき、これらは1種単独で使用してもよいし、2種以上を混合使用してもよい。
【0013】
これら脂肪酸亜鉛の配合量は、少なすぎればカレンダー成形を良好に行うことができず、多すぎてもそれに見合う効果の向上が得られないばかりか、熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーをシート化することができなくなることがあるため、上記の熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマー(すなわち、1種または複数種の熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマー、あるいは相溶性のある1種または複数種の他の樹脂とのブレンド体)100重量部に対し、亜鉛量で0.05〜1.0重量部となる量とすることが適している。
【0014】
本発明では、上記の発泡剤としてのアゾジカルボンアミドや成形助剤としての脂肪酸亜鉛と共に、熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーに一般に添加される公知の発泡助剤、滑剤、可塑剤、充填剤、酸化防止剤、加工助剤、紫外線吸収剤、帯電防止剤、着色剤等を適宜の量で添加してもよい。
また、上記のアゾジカルボンアミドと共に、カレンダー成形性および仕上がりの外観に支障のない範囲で、他の化学発泡剤(例えば、p,p′−オシキビス(ベンジルスルホニルヒドラジド)等)を1種または複数種併用してよいし、マイクロカプセル等の熱膨張型発泡剤を1種または複数種併用してもよい。
さらに、上記の脂肪酸亜鉛と共に、他の成形助剤を1種または複数種併用してよい。

発泡層の発泡倍率は、特に制限されず、所望の発泡倍率であってよいが、一般には、1.2〜10倍程度が好適である。
【0017】
また、本発明では、上記のアゾジカルボンアミドと脂肪酸亜鉛を配合した熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーによる1層または複数層の発泡層と、1層または複数層の非発泡層(すなわち、上記配合の熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーからアゾジカルボンアミドを除いた原料製の層)とを組み合わせた層構成としてもよいし、他の合成樹脂からなる発泡層や非発泡層との組み合わせ層としてもよい。
更に、これらの発泡層や非発泡層のみからなる発泡シートとしてもよいし、基材との積層構造としてもよいし、非発泡の表面層を積層してもよい。
そして、表面層上にはプリント層を設けることもできるし、表面層上から、あるいは発泡層や非発泡層上から直接、エンボス加工を施すこともできる。

表1〜4から明らかなように、本発明によれば、良好な発泡セルを有し、柔軟性に優れたウレタン系樹脂発泡シートを得ることができる(実施例1〜7参照)。
しかし、脂肪酸亜鉛の添加量が多すぎると、カレンダー成形中に発泡が開始してシーティング化が不可能となり、少なすぎたり無添加では、加熱発泡でアゾジカルボンアミドの分解が促進せず、極めて低発泡倍率の発泡体が得られるか、セル形状が悪化してしまう(比較例1,2,7参照)。
また、熱可塑性ウレタン系樹脂以外の樹脂を用いる場合、柔軟性が良好なものは発泡性が悪く、逆に発泡性が良好なものは柔軟性を欠く発泡体となってしまう(比較例3〜5参照)。
更に、アゾジカルボンアミド以外の発泡剤や、脂肪酸亜鉛以外の成形助剤(脂肪酸金属塩)を用いる場合、シーティング化が不可能であったり、発泡体が変色したり、セル形状が悪化する等の様々な問題が発生する(比較例6,8参照)。

【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、ハロゲンを含まない熱可塑性ウレタンエラストマーにより、風合い上必須の柔軟性が良好で、しかも発泡性にも発泡シートを、カレンダー成形により得ることができる。[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a urethane-based resin foam sheet having excellent foamability and flexibility.
[0002]
[Technical background]
Conventionally, it has good texture as interior materials of various vehicles and buildings, as surface materials of furniture, bags, footwear, materials of miscellaneous goods such as bindings, or as sheets and exterior materials in various fields. Vinyl chloride resins which have not only the excellent flexibility necessary for producing the resin but also the low cost have been widely used.
[0003]
However, the flow of dechlorination in recent years has been shifting to interior / exterior materials and sheets using olefin resins such as polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and thermoplastic olefin elastomer (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-287304). Publication).
[0004]
By the way, foaming layers are often provided in interior / exterior materials and sheets using these olefinic resins in order to impart a sense of volume or to reduce costs by reducing materials.
However, most of the olefin-based resins have poor flexibility, and those having excellent foamability have a disadvantage that the rigidity is high. At present, there is no resin such as resin having excellent flexibility and foaming property.
[0005]
Further, a technique of forming a foamed layer made of a thermoplastic polyurethane containing no chlorine on a base material by a melt film forming method has been developed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-278182).
However, the molding technique based on the melt film forming method has low productivity, and it is extremely difficult to provide a foamed sheet at low cost as in the case of using a conventional vinyl chloride resin.
[0006]
On the other hand, as a sheet forming method, in addition to the above-described melt film forming method, conventionally, various methods such as an extrusion molding method using a T-die, a press molding method, and a calendar molding method have been used.
Among these molding methods, the calender molding method is considered to be optimal from the viewpoint of production speed.
However, as is well known, in the calendering method, when the raw resin composition passes between the multi-stage rolls, it is often difficult to smoothly pass the resin composition, and the resin composition adheres to the rolls, Problems such as shredding or wrinkling of the sheet frequently occur.
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-287304 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-278182
[Object of the invention]
The present invention, in consideration of the above points, contains no halogen, has good flexibility required for texture, and has excellent foaming properties. An object of the present invention is to provide a foamed sheet having excellent foaming properties by calendering.
[0008]
Summary of the Invention
In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors (1) first pursued a resin containing no halogen and having good flexibility and excellent foaming properties. It has been found that the thermoplastic urethane elastomer disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H11-177,086 is suitable.
(2) Next, when a foaming agent for foaming the thermoplastic urethane elastomer with good flexibility was examined, it was found that the foaming agent was not a physical foaming agent due to thermal expansion of microcapsules or the like, but was also described in JP-A-10-278182. It has been found that a chemical foaming agent by thermal decomposition described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-177,643 is suitable.
(3) A molding aid added to avoid problems such as adhesion of the raw material mixture to a roll and occurrence of sheet breakage and wrinkles during calender molding of the thermoplastic urethane elastomer, and The chemical foaming agent, among the numerous molding aids and chemical foaming agents that are present, the action of the molding aid and the chemical foaming agent can not only be well expressed on the thermoplastic urethane elastomer, but also As a result of pursuing the optimal combination of a molding aid and a chemical blowing agent that do not hinder each other's actions, azodicarbonamide is suitable as a chemical blowing agent and zinc fatty acid is suitable as a molding aid. I got the conclusion.
[0009]
The present invention has been made based on these findings, and is characterized in that a urethane-based thermoplastic urethane elastomer containing azodicarbonamide as a foaming agent and a fatty acid zinc as a molding aid is calendered. The summary is a resin foam sheet.
The amount of the fatty acid zinc as the above-mentioned molding aid is preferably 0.05 to 1.0 part by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic urethane elastomer.
Further, the urethane-based resin foam sheet may be formed by calender molding, lamination and integration with the base sheet in an unfoamed state, and then heating and foaming.
[0010]
The thermoplastic urethane elastomer in the present invention includes various polyols such as polyester, polyether, and polycarbonate; various organic polyisocyanates such as aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic; and urethane elastomers composed of these raw materials. As the chain extender, those using various chain extenders conventionally used as raw materials are used.
The thermoplastic urethane elastomers may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more.
In addition, one or more resins that are compatible with the thermoplastic urethane elastomer may be blended.
[0011]
The thermoplastic urethane elastomer contains azodicarbonamide as a foaming agent and zinc fatty acid as a molding aid during calendering.
The compounding amount of azodicarbonamide as a foaming agent may be an amount according to the expansion ratio of the product foam sheet.
[0012]
As fatty acid zinc as a molding aid, fatty acid having about 8 to 18 carbon atoms such as zinc stearate, zinc laurate, zinc caprylate, zinc palmitate, and the like can be used. Or two or more of them may be used in combination.
[0013]
If the amount of these fatty acid zincs is too small, calender molding cannot be performed well, and if it is too large, not only the effect corresponding thereto cannot be improved, but also the thermoplastic urethane elastomer cannot be formed into a sheet. For this reason, 100 parts by weight of the above-mentioned thermoplastic urethane elastomer (that is, a blend with one or more kinds of thermoplastic urethane elastomers or one or more kinds of compatible other resins) may be used. It is suitable that the amount of zinc is 0.05 to 1.0 parts by weight.
[0014]
In the present invention, together with azodicarbonamide as the above-mentioned foaming agent and fatty acid zinc as a molding aid, a known foaming aid generally added to a thermoplastic urethane elastomer, a lubricant, a plasticizer, a filler, an antioxidant, Processing aids, ultraviolet absorbers, antistatic agents, coloring agents, and the like may be added in appropriate amounts.
In addition to the azodicarbonamide described above, one or more kinds of other chemical foaming agents (for example, p, p'-oxykis (benzylsulfonylhydrazide) and the like) may be used within a range that does not impair calender moldability and finish appearance. One or more thermal expansion foaming agents such as microcapsules may be used in combination.
Further, one or more other molding aids may be used in combination with the above fatty acid zinc.
[0015]
The thermoplastic urethane elastomer containing the above components is formed into a sheet by calendering.
At this time, conditions such as the roll temperature and the pressure between the rolls during molding are not particularly limited, and are appropriately selected depending on the thickness of the urethane-based resin foam sheet, the resin composition, and the like.
The conditions during heating and foaming are also not particularly limited, and are appropriately selected depending on a desired expansion ratio and the like.
[0016]
In the present invention, the foamed layer made of the thermoplastic urethane elastomer containing the azodicarbonamide and the fatty acid zinc may be one layer, or may be two or more layers.
The expansion ratio of the foamed layer is not particularly limited, and may be a desired expansion ratio, but is generally preferably about 1.2 to 10 times.
[0017]
Further, in the present invention, one or more foamed layers and one or more non-foamed layers of the thermoplastic urethane elastomer containing the above-mentioned azodicarbonamide and fatty acid zinc (that is, the thermoplastic urethane having the above-mentioned composition) The layer structure may be a combination of a layer made of a raw material obtained by removing azodicarbonamide from the elastomer) or a layer formed of a foamed layer or a non-foamed layer made of another synthetic resin.
Furthermore, a foamed sheet composed of only these foamed layers and non-foamed layers may be used, a laminated structure with a substrate may be used, or a non-foamed surface layer may be laminated.
Then, a print layer can be provided on the surface layer, or embossing can be performed directly on the surface layer or directly on the foamed layer or the non-foamed layer.
[0018]
The type of the other synthetic resin to be laminated with the thermoplastic urethane elastomer in the present invention is not particularly limited, and an appropriate synthetic resin may be selected according to the use of the foamed sheet in the present invention.
The type of the above-mentioned base material is not particularly limited, either. Synthetic resin sheet; fibrous material composed of natural fiber, synthetic fiber, mixed fiber, etc. such as woven fabric, knitted fabric and non-woven fabric; Paper impregnated with a synthetic resin; paper; and those used as a base material of ordinary foamed sheets can be used as they are.
The type of the surface layer is not particularly limited, and may be a coating layer or a film layer of a synthetic resin such as a urethane resin, an olefin resin, or an acrylic resin, or a natural fiber such as a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or a nonwoven fabric.・ Fibers made of synthetic fibers, mixed fibers, etc. may be used. Even if these fibers are impregnated with a synthetic resin, the surface of paper or other ordinary foam sheets may be used. What is used as a material may be used as it is.
[0019]
When the foamed layer made of the thermoplastic urethane elastomer in the present invention is formed of a plurality of layers, each layer (sheet) is separately calender-molded, and then laminated by an adhesive or a hot press to be heated and foamed. Immediately or simultaneously with calendering, when each sheet is in a molten state (if one sheet is in a molten state, the other sheet may be in a dry state) and then heat-foamed, etc. it can.
The same method as described above can be adopted when a laminated structure with a non-foamed layer is used.
Similarly, when a laminated structure with a base material is used, a calender-formed layer (sheet) made of a thermoplastic urethane elastomer and a base material are laminated with an adhesive or a hot press, and then heated and foamed. Immediately after or when the sheet is in a molten state at the same time as calendering, the sheet is laminated and then heated and foamed.
When a surface layer is provided, the surface layer may be laminated before the above-mentioned heating and foaming. When a print layer is provided on the surface layer, printing may be performed after the surface layer is laminated.
When embossing is performed, it may be performed after heat foaming or after printing.

As is clear from Tables 1 to 4, according to the present invention, a urethane-based resin foam sheet having good foam cells and excellent flexibility can be obtained (see Examples 1 to 7).
However, if the amount of the fatty acid zinc added is too large, foaming starts during calendering and sheeting becomes impossible.If the amount is too small or no addition, the decomposition of azodicarbonamide is not promoted by heating and foaming, which is extremely low. A foam having an expansion ratio is obtained or the cell shape is deteriorated (see Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 7).
When a resin other than the thermoplastic urethane-based resin is used, a foam having good flexibility has poor foamability, and a foam having good foamability is a foam lacking flexibility (Comparative Examples 3 to 5). 5).
Furthermore, when a foaming agent other than azodicarbonamide or a molding aid (fatty acid metal salt) other than fatty acid zinc is used, sheeting cannot be performed, the foam discolors, and the cell shape deteriorates. Various problems occur (see Comparative Examples 6 and 8).

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, a thermoplastic urethane elastomer containing no halogen makes it possible to obtain, by calender molding, a foamed sheet which has good flexibility in terms of texture and is foamable.
