Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、特殊な脂環式ジエポキシ化合物を含むエポキシ樹脂組成物と無機質充填材等を必須成分とする低粘度で作業性のよい電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物及びその硬化物に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電気機器の絶縁部や電力ケーブルの接続部等においては、金属電極を埋め込んだエポキシ樹脂組成物注型品を設置して、上記金属電極部で導体を支持することが行われている。このようなエポキシ樹脂組成物注型品は、一般に、エポキシ樹脂と、酸無水物と、充填材等からなるエポキシ樹脂組成物を用いて製造されている。この内、エポキシ樹脂としてはビスフェノール型エポキシ樹脂が、酸無水物としては無水フタル酸が、無機質充填材としてはアルミナ、シリカ等の無機質粉末が用いられ、これらを用いることにより耐クラック性や機械的強度あるいは電気的特性をバランス良く向上させてきた。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
近年、高電圧用機器の小形縮小化、超高電圧化の傾向はますます強く、エポキシ樹脂組成物注型品に要求される性能もますます高度化し、従来のエポキシ樹脂組成物注型品では、電気的特性、機械的特性において限界があり破壊に至る可能性も潜在している。すなわち、超高電圧化に伴い、絶縁体(電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物を使用した)には高電界がかかるため一層の耐電圧強度の向上が要求される。さらに、誘電損(ε・tanδ・E2)も超高電圧化に伴い増大し、その発生熱による絶縁体の熱的損傷も懸念される。特に、ε・tanδが温度上昇に伴い上昇すれば、熱暴走破壊も否定し難い。また、絶縁体に埋め込まれた金属電極との接着性や耐クラック性においても一層の向上が要求される。
例えば、特開平9−77847号公報のように、エポキシ樹脂としてビスフェノールA型エポキシとノボラックエポキシを使用し、2種類以上の酸無水物を混合して絶縁用樹脂を作ることが、また特開平11−60908号公報には、エポキシ樹脂としてビスフェノールA型エポキシと結晶性エポキシに2種類以上の酸無水物を混合して絶縁用樹脂を作ることが例示されている。
これらの場合、組成物が固体であるため注型や含浸の用途には不向きである。

そこで、本出願人は分子内にエステル基を持たない別の脂環骨格を有するエポキシ化合物として、特願2002−260490号明細書において、ロシア文献(Neftekhimiya,1972,12,353)に記載されている技術を改善する目的で、実質的に水分を含まない有機過カルボン酸を用いて上記式(1)で表される脂環式ジエポキシ化合物(a−1)を効率的に合成する方法を提案した。本発明者は、この脂環式ジエポキシ化合物(a−1)を含むエポキシ樹脂組成物、酸無水物、硬化促進剤および無機充填材の配合割合を特定の範囲に設定することにより、電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物が注型作業性を損なうことなく、優れた耐熱性、電気的特性および機械的特性を有する硬化物を与えることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。本発明により、特に、上記無機質充填材として、溶融アルミナを用いることにより、電気的特性および機械的特性の双方に優れた電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物が得られ、特に、耐電圧特性においては電融アルミナを用いた場合に比べて30〜50%も向上させることができることが判明した。

【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
つぎに、本発明の実施の形態について詳しく説明する。
本発明の電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物(以下「注型エポキシ樹脂組成物」という)は、特定のエポキシ化合物を含有するエポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)と、酸無水物(B成分)と、硬化促進剤(C成分)とを用いて構成される熱硬化性樹脂と、無機質充填材(D成分)とを用いて得られるものである。
上記特定のエポキシ化合物を含有するエポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)は、一般式(1)で表されるエポキシ化合物(a−1)とこれ以外のエポキシ化合物(a−2)からなる。
上記特定のエポキシ化合物(a−1)は、下記の一般式(1)で表されるものであり、なかでも、R〜R18が水素原子のもの、すなわち、ビシクロヘキシル−3,3’−ジエポキシドが好適に用いられる。
【化3】
Figure 2004339417
(式中でR〜R18は、それぞれ同一であっても異なっていてもよい。これらは、水素原子、ハロゲン原子、酸素原子もしくはハロゲン原子を含んでよい炭化水素基、又は置換基を有してよいアルコキシ基である。)
【0008】
上記脂環式ジエポキシ化合物(a−1)は、例えば、前記特願2002−260490号明細書に記載されているように、ビシクロヘキシル−3,3’−ジエン骨格を持つ不飽和化合物と酸化剤、特に、有機過カルボン酸 (過ギ酸、過酢酸、過安息香酸、過イソ酪酸、トリフルオロ過酢酸等)とを反応させることによって製造することができる。
有機過カルボンの中でも特に過酢酸は、本発明における脂環式ジエポキシ化合物(a−1)の製造の際に必要な反応性を有すると同時に、安定度が高いことから好ましいエポキシ化剤である。
中でも、実質的に水分を含まない、具体的には、水分含有量0.8重量%以下、好ましくは0.6重量%以下の有機過カルボン酸を使用することが高いエポキシ化率を有する脂環式ジエポキシ化合物(a−1)が得られるという点で好ましい。実質的に水分を含まない有機過カルボン酸は、アルデヒド類、例えば、アセトアルデヒドの空気酸化により製造されるものであり、例えば、過酢酸については特開昭54−3006に記載された方法により製造される。この方法によれば、過酸化水素から有機過カルボン酸を合成し、溶媒により抽出して有機過カルボン酸を製造する場合に比べて、連続して大量に高濃度の有機過カルボン酸を合成できるために、実質的に安価に得ることができる。
【0009】
エポキシ化合物(a−1)およびこれ以外のエポキシ化合物(a−2)の配合割合は、(a−1)がエポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)全体の5〜80重量%(以下「%」と略す)になるように、好ましくは、8〜75重量%、そして、(a−2)が95〜20%、好ましくは、92〜25重量%、になるようにそれぞれ設定する必要がある。
【0010】
(a−2)の具体例としては、ビスフェノール型エポキシ樹脂(ビスフェノールA、ビスフェノールF、ビスフェノールAF、ビスフェノールS型のエポキシ化合物、水添ビスフェノール型エポキシ化合物など。)、ノボラックフェノール型エポキシ樹脂、ノボラックフェノール型のDCPD共重合体エポキシ樹脂、ノボラックフェノール型のキシレン共重合型エポキシ樹脂などが挙げられる。脂環式エポキシ樹脂として、ビス(3,4−エポキシシクロヘキシルメチル)アジペート[例えば、ユニオンカーバイド社製のERL4299等]、3,4−エポキシシクロヘキシルメチル−3,4−エポキシシクロヘキサンカルボキシレート[例えば、ダイセル化学工業株式会社製のCEL−2021P、ユニオンカーバイド社製のERL4221]、3,4−エポキシシクロヘキシルメチル−3,4−エポキシシクロヘキサンカルボキシレートへのラクトン付加物[ダイセル化学工業株式会社製のCEL−2080シリーズ]、エポキシ化3−シクロヘキセン−1,2−ジカルボン酸ビス3−シクロヘキセニルメチルエステルおよびそのε−カプロラクトン付加物[例えば、ダイセル化学工業株式会社製のエポリードGT−300シリーズ]、エポキシ化ブタンテトラカルボン酸テトラキス−3−シクロヘキセニルメチルエステルおよびそのラクトン付加物[例えば、ダイセル化学工業株式会社製のエポリードGT−400シリーズ]、トリメチロールプロパン構造を有するエポキシ化シクロヘキサンポリエーテル[例えば、ダイセル化学工業株式会社製のEHPE−3150]、1,2,8,9−ジエポキシリモネン[例えば、ダイセル化学工業株式会社製のCEL−3000]などが挙げられる。これらは、単独又は2種類以上混合して使用することができる。
【0011】
本発明においては、2種類のエポキシ化合物を用いてエポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)を構成し、これとともに後述の酸無水物、硬化促進剤、無機質充填材を用いることにより、目的とする注型作業性を損なうことなく、優れた電気的特性および機械的特性を有する特性を備えた硬化物を与える電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物が得られる。
【0012】
上記エポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)とともに用いられる酸無水物(B成分)は、上記エポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)の硬化剤として作用するものであり、特に限定されるものではなく従来公知のものが用いられる。例えば、無水フタル酸、無水マレイン酸、無水トリメリット酸、無水メチルハイミック酸、無水ピロメリット酸、ヘキサヒドロ無水フタル酸、メチルヘキサヒドロ無水フタル酸、テトラヒドロ無水フタル酸、メチルテトラヒドロ無水フタル酸、ベンゾフェノンテトラカルボン酸二無水物、3,3’,4,4’−ビフェニルテトラカルボン酸二無水物、ビス(3,4−ジカルボキシフェニル)エーテル二無水物、ビス(3,4−ジカルボキシフェニル)メタン二無水物、2,2−ビス(3,4−ジカルボキシフェニル)プロパン二無水物、メチルノルボルネンカルボン酸無水物等の、好ましくは分子中に脂肪族環又は芳香族環を1個又は2個有すると共に、酸無水物基を1個又は2個有する、炭素原子数4〜25個、好ましくは8〜20個程度の酸無水物が等が挙げられる。
これら酸無水物は単独でもしくは2種以上併せて用いられる。なかでも、耐熱性に優れ、電気的特性および機械的強度が一層向上するという点から、メチルヘキサヒドロ無水フタル酸、テトラヒドロ無水フタル酸などを使用することが好ましい。
上記酸無水物(B成分)の配合割合は、上記特定のエポキシ化合物(a−1)および(a−1)以外のエポキシ化合物(a−2)を含有するエポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)1当量に対して0.6〜1.0当量の範囲に設定する必要がある。特に好ましくは、0.7〜0.9当量である。すなわち、酸無水物の配合割合が1.0当量を超えると電気的特性が低下し、逆に0.6当量未満では耐熱性が低下するからである。なお、上記酸無水物(B成分)の当量(酸無水物当量)は、つぎのように設定される。すなわち、A成分中のエポキシ基1個に対して、酸無水物中の酸無水物基が1個の場合を1当量とする。そして、上記配合割合が0.6〜1.0当量とは、前記(a−1)および(a−2)の2種類のエポキシ化合物を含有するエポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)中のエポキシ基1個に対して、酸無水物中の酸無水物基の数が0.6〜1.0個であるという趣旨である。
【0013】
上記A成分およびB成分とともに用いられる硬化促進剤(C成分)としては、ベンジルジメチルアミン、トリスジメチルアミノメチルフェノール、トリエチレンジアミン等の第三級アミン類,テトラブチルアンモニウムブロミドなどの4級アミンの臭素塩、ジアザビシクロウンデセン(DBU)やDBUの有機酸塩、トリフェニルホスフィン、リン酸エステル、ホウ酸エステル,ルイス酸,チタンやアルミのアルコキシドやアセチルアセトン、アセト酢酸エステル類などの有機金属化合物,イミダゾール類等が挙げられる。これらは単独でもしくは2種以上併せて用いられる。特に、得られる硬化物の耐熱性が優れるという点から、上記第三級アミン類及び4級アミンの臭素塩を用いることが好ましい。
これらの商品名としては、SA−102(ジアザビシクロウンデセン系硬化促進剤),SA−506(ジアザビシクロウンデセン系硬化促進剤),U−CAT5003(ホスホニウム塩系硬化促進剤)[以上サンアプロ社製]が挙げられる。
上記硬化促進剤(C成分)の配合量は、前記2種類のエポキシ化合物からなるエポキシ樹脂組成物(A成分)の合計100重量部に対し0.5〜10重量部の範囲に設定することが好ましい。すなわち、C成分の配合量が0.5%重量部未満では、硬化反応が遅くなり作業性に問題が生じ、10重量部を超えると、反応時間が著しく速くなり、流動性の低下を招き、また、電気的にも体積抵抗率の低下を招く恐れがあるからである。
【0014】
上記A〜C成分とともに必須成分として用いられる(D)成分である無機質充填材としては、シリカ,アルミナ,タルク,ケイ砂,炭酸カルシウム,硫酸バリウム等が挙げられる。これらは単独でもしくは2種以上併せて用いられる。なかでも、tanδや耐電圧特性に優れるという点から、シリカのなかでも球状の溶融シリカ粉末、またアルミナのなかでも溶融アルミナを用いることが好ましい。すなわち、シリカのなかでも、球状の溶融シリカ粉末を用いることにより、界面分極を抑制し、かつ電気的ストレスの集中を排除するという作用から、誘電正接(tanδ)および耐電圧特性の一層の向上効果が得られる。特に、上記球状の溶融シリカを用いる場合は、粒径50μm以下の粒子が全体の99重量%以上〔要件(X)〕で、かつ平均粒径が35μm以下〔要件(Y)〕のものを用いることが、粘度上昇による注型作業性の低下が効果的に防止され、電気的特性および機械的強度の双方に優れた注型エポキシ樹脂組成物が得られるという点から好ましい。また、溶融アルミナは、一般に、バイヤー法アルミナまたはボーキサイトを主原料として電気炉で溶解し、析出、焼成、粉砕、脱鉄、水洗、乾燥といった一連の工程を経て得られるものであり、この溶融アルミナを用いることにより、上記溶融シリカを用いた場合と同様に、電気的特性および機械的特性の双方に優れ、特に、耐電圧特性は電融アルミナを用いた場合に比べて大幅な向上効果が得られる。
上記無機質充填材(D)の配合量は、本発明の電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物(A)〜(D)成分の合計中30〜80重量%の範囲になるように設定することが必須である。すなわち、無機質充填材(D)の配合量が組成物全体の30%未満では、本発明の電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物の溶融粘度が著しく低下し、無機質充填材(D)の沈降が発生する。また、機械的強度も低下する。逆に、80%を超えると、高粘度になり過ぎて混合性および流動性が低下することから作業性の低下を招く恐れがあるからである。
【0015】
なお、本発明の電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物には、上記A〜C成分および(D)成分である無機質充填材以外に、必要に応じて、希釈剤、可塑剤、顔料、離型剤、難燃剤等の他の添加剤を適宜に配合することができる。
そして、本発明の電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物を調製するために、上記各原料が所定の割合で配合される。配合にはドライブレンダー、リボンブレンダー、ヘンシェルミキサー等公知のものを使用することができ、配合は通常、常温で行われる。
上記各成分の配合物は真空加熱下で気泡を排除しつつ攪拌・混合することにより電気絶縁用注型樹脂組成物として調製される。攪拌・混合する際の温度は、通常、40〜100℃に設定される。
調製時の設定温度が40℃未満では、粘度が高すぎて均一な撹拌・混合作業が困難になり、逆に、調製時の温度が100℃を超えると、硬化反応が起き、正常な電気絶縁用注型樹脂組成物が得られないので、好ましくない。攪拌・混合する際には、減圧装置を備えた1軸または多軸エクストルーダー、ニーダー汎用の機器を使用することができる。
【0016】
そして、この調製された電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物は、所定の成形型内に注入され、所定の条件で加熱硬化されて所望の形状を有する本発明の硬化物に成形される。
本発明の電気絶縁用注型エポキシ樹脂組成物は、温度100〜200℃、好ましくは、100〜190℃、さらに好ましくは、100〜180℃で、硬化時間30〜600分、好ましくは、45〜540分、さらに好ましくは、60〜480分で硬化させることができる。
硬化温度と硬化時間が上記範囲下限値より低い場合は、硬化が不十分となり、逆に上記範囲上限値より高い場合、樹脂成分の分解が起きる場合があるので、何れも好ましくない。硬化条件は種々の条件に依存するが、硬化温度が高い場合は硬化時間は短く、硬化温度が低い場合は硬化時間は長く、適宜調整することができる。

つぎに、実施例を比較例と併せて説明する。

Description of the Related Art In an insulating portion of an electric device, a connection portion of a power cable, and the like, an epoxy resin composition cast product having a metal electrode embedded therein is installed, and a conductor is supported by the metal electrode portion. Such an epoxy resin composition casting is generally manufactured using an epoxy resin composition comprising an epoxy resin, an acid anhydride, a filler and the like.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In recent years, the trend toward miniaturization and ultra-high voltage of high-voltage equipment has become more and more strong, and the performance required for epoxy resin composition cast products has also become increasingly sophisticated. In addition, there is a limit in electric characteristics and mechanical characteristics, and there is a possibility of destruction. That is, with the increase in the voltage, a high electric field is applied to the insulator (using the cast epoxy resin composition for electrical insulation), so that a further improvement in withstand voltage strength is required. Furthermore, the dielectric loss (ε · tanδ · E2) also increases with the increase in the voltage, and there is a concern that the insulator may be thermally damaged by the heat generated. In particular, if ε · tan δ increases with a rise in temperature, it is difficult to deny thermal runaway destruction. Further, further improvement is required in the adhesiveness to the metal electrode embedded in the insulator and the crack resistance.
For example, as disclosed in JP-A-9-77847, it is possible to use a bisphenol A type epoxy and a novolak epoxy as an epoxy resin and mix two or more acid anhydrides to produce an insulating resin. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60908 discloses that an insulating resin is prepared by mixing two or more acid anhydrides with a bisphenol A type epoxy and a crystalline epoxy as epoxy resins.
In these cases, since the composition is solid, it is not suitable for casting or impregnation.

[0008]
The alicyclic diepoxy compound (a-1) is, for example, an unsaturated compound having a bicyclohexyl-3,3′-diene skeleton and an oxidizing agent as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-260490. Particularly, it can be produced by reacting with an organic percarboxylic acid (performic acid, peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid, perisobutyric acid, trifluoroperacetic acid, etc.).
Among organic percarboxylic acids, peracetic acid is a preferred epoxidizing agent because it has the reactivity necessary for producing the alicyclic diepoxy compound (a-1) in the present invention and has high stability.
Above all, the use of an organic percarboxylic acid having substantially no water content, specifically, a water content of 0.8% by weight or less, preferably 0.6% by weight or less has a high epoxidation ratio. It is preferable in that the cyclic diepoxy compound (a-1) can be obtained. Organic percarboxylic acids containing substantially no water are produced by air oxidation of aldehydes, for example, acetaldehyde. For example, peracetic acid is produced by the method described in JP-A-54-3006. You. According to this method, an organic percarboxylic acid is synthesized from hydrogen peroxide, and a large amount of the organic percarboxylic acid can be continuously synthesized in a large amount as compared with a case where an organic percarboxylic acid is produced by extracting with a solvent. Therefore, it can be obtained substantially inexpensively.
[0009]

Examples of the alicyclic epoxy resin include bis (3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl) adipate [for example, ERL4299 manufactured by Union Carbide] and 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate [for example, Daicel CEL-2021P manufactured by Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., ERL4221 manufactured by Union Carbide Co., Ltd., a lactone adduct to 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate [CEL-2080 manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.] Series], epoxidized 3-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid bis-3-cyclohexenylmethyl ester and its ε-caprolactone adduct [for example, Eporide GT-300 series manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.] ], Epoxidized butanetetracarboxylic acid tetrakis-3-cyclohexenylmethyl ester and its lactone adduct [e.g., EPOLIDE GT-400 series manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.], epoxidized cyclohexane polyether having a trimethylolpropane structure [ Examples thereof include EHPE-3150 manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd. and 1,2,8,9-diepoxylimonene [for example, CEL-3000 manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.]. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0011]
In the present invention, an epoxy resin composition (component A) is formed using two types of epoxy compounds, and an acid anhydride, a curing accelerator, and an inorganic filler described later are used together with the epoxy resin composition to achieve a desired casting. A cast epoxy resin composition for electrical insulation that gives a cured product having excellent electrical and mechanical properties without impairing workability can be obtained.
[0012]
The acid anhydride (component B) used together with the epoxy resin composition (component A) acts as a curing agent for the epoxy resin composition (component A), and is not particularly limited and is conventionally known. Things are used. For example, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, methylhymic anhydride, pyromellitic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride, benzophenone Tetracarboxylic dianhydride, 3,3 ', 4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, bis (3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) ether dianhydride, bis (3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) Preferably, one or two aliphatic rings or aromatic rings are present in the molecule, such as methane dianhydride, 2,2-bis (3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) propane dianhydride, methyl norbornene carboxylic anhydride. And having one or two acid anhydride groups, and having 4 to 25 carbon atoms, preferably about 8 to 20 carbon atoms. Anhydrides and the like.
These acid anhydrides are used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, it is preferable to use methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, or the like from the viewpoint of excellent heat resistance and further improvement in electrical properties and mechanical strength.
The mixing ratio of the above-mentioned acid anhydride (component B) is as follows: the epoxy resin composition (component A) containing the specific epoxy compound (a-1) and the epoxy compound (a-2) other than (a-1). It is necessary to set the range of 0.6 to 1.0 equivalent to the equivalent. Particularly preferably, it is 0.7 to 0.9 equivalent. That is, when the compounding ratio of the acid anhydride exceeds 1.0 equivalent, the electrical properties decrease, and when it is less than 0.6 equivalent, the heat resistance decreases. In addition, the equivalent (acid anhydride equivalent) of the said acid anhydride (B component) is set as follows. That is, one equivalent of one acid anhydride group in the acid anhydride per one epoxy group in the component A is defined as one equivalent. And, the mixing ratio of 0.6 to 1.0 equivalent means that the epoxy group in the epoxy resin composition (component A) containing the two types of epoxy compounds (a-1) and (a-2). The meaning is that the number of acid anhydride groups in the acid anhydride is 0.6 to 1.0 with respect to one.
[0013]
Examples of the curing accelerator (component C) used together with the above components A and B include tertiary amines such as benzyldimethylamine, trisdimethylaminomethylphenol and triethylenediamine, and bromine of quaternary amines such as tetrabutylammonium bromide. Salts, diazabicycloundecene (DBU) and organic acid salts of DBU, triphenylphosphine, phosphates, borates, Lewis acids, alkoxides of titanium and aluminum, acetylacetone, acetoacetates, and the like, And imidazoles. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In particular, it is preferable to use the above tertiary amines and bromine salts of quaternary amines from the viewpoint that the heat resistance of the obtained cured product is excellent.
These trade names include SA-102 (diazabicycloundecene-based curing accelerator), SA-506 (diazabicycloundecene-based curing accelerator), and U-CAT5003 (phosphonium salt-based curing accelerator). San Apro Co.].
The compounding amount of the curing accelerator (component C) may be set in the range of 0.5 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total of the epoxy resin composition (component A) composed of the two types of epoxy compounds. preferable. That is, when the amount of the component C is less than 0.5% by weight, the curing reaction is slowed down, causing a problem in workability. When the amount is more than 10 parts by weight, the reaction time becomes remarkably fast, and the fluidity is reduced. Also, it is possible that the volume resistivity may be reduced electrically.
[0014]
Examples of the inorganic filler which is the component (D) used as an essential component together with the components A to C include silica, alumina, talc, silica sand, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, from the viewpoint of excellent tan δ and withstand voltage characteristics, it is preferable to use spherical fused silica powder among silica and fused alumina among alumina. That is, among the silicas, the use of spherical fused silica powder suppresses interfacial polarization and eliminates the concentration of electrical stress, thereby further improving the dielectric loss tangent (tan δ) and withstand voltage characteristics. Is obtained. In particular, when the above-mentioned spherical fused silica is used, particles having a particle size of 50 μm or less are used in an amount of 99% by weight or more [Requirement (X)] and an average particle size of 35 μm or less [Requirement (Y)]. This is preferable because a decrease in casting workability due to an increase in viscosity is effectively prevented, and a cast epoxy resin composition excellent in both electrical properties and mechanical strength is obtained. Fused alumina is generally obtained by a series of steps such as Bayer method alumina or bauxite dissolved in an electric furnace as a main raw material, and is subjected to precipitation, firing, pulverization, deironing, washing, and drying. By using, as in the case of using the above-mentioned fused silica, both electrical and mechanical properties are excellent, and in particular, the withstand voltage characteristic is significantly improved compared to the case of using fused alumina. Can be
The compounding amount of the inorganic filler (D) may be set so as to be in the range of 30 to 80% by weight in the total of the components (A) to (D) of the cast epoxy resin composition for electric insulation of the present invention. Required. That is, when the blending amount of the inorganic filler (D) is less than 30% of the whole composition, the melt viscosity of the castable epoxy resin composition for electric insulation of the present invention is significantly reduced, and the sedimentation of the inorganic filler (D) is reduced. appear. Also, the mechanical strength decreases. Conversely, if it exceeds 80%, the viscosity becomes too high and the mixability and the fluidity are reduced, so that the workability may be reduced.
[0015]
The cast epoxy resin composition for electrical insulation according to the present invention may further comprise a diluent, a plasticizer, a pigment, a mold release, if necessary, in addition to the inorganic fillers as the components A to C and the component (D). Other additives such as an agent and a flame retardant can be appropriately compounded.
Then, in order to prepare the cast epoxy resin composition for electrical insulation of the present invention, the above-mentioned respective raw materials are blended at a predetermined ratio. Known ingredients such as a drive blender, a ribbon blender, and a Henschel mixer can be used for the compounding, and the compounding is usually performed at room temperature.
The compound of each of the above components is prepared as a cast resin composition for electrical insulation by stirring and mixing while eliminating bubbles under vacuum heating. The temperature at the time of stirring and mixing is usually set to 40 to 100 ° C.
If the temperature set at the time of preparation is less than 40 ° C, the viscosity is too high to make uniform stirring and mixing work difficult. On the other hand, if the temperature at the time of preparation exceeds 100 ° C, a curing reaction occurs and normal electrical insulation It is not preferable because a cast resin composition cannot be obtained. At the time of stirring and mixing, a single-shaft or multi-shaft extruder equipped with a decompression device or a general-purpose kneader can be used.
[0016]
Then, the prepared epoxy resin composition for electric insulation prepared is poured into a predetermined mold, and is heat-cured under predetermined conditions to be molded into a cured product of the present invention having a desired shape.
The cast epoxy resin composition for electrical insulation of the present invention has a temperature of 100 to 200 ° C, preferably 100 to 190 ° C, more preferably 100 to 180 ° C, and a curing time of 30 to 600 minutes, preferably 45 to 600 ° C. The curing can be performed in 540 minutes, more preferably 60 to 480 minutes.
When the curing temperature and the curing time are lower than the lower limit of the above range, the curing becomes insufficient. On the contrary, when the curing temperature and the curing time are higher than the upper limit of the above range, the decomposition of the resin component may occur. The curing conditions depend on various conditions, but when the curing temperature is high, the curing time is short, and when the curing temperature is low, the curing time is long, and can be appropriately adjusted.
