Description

  The present invention relates to a curable composition, a sealing material, and an adhesive that are crosslinked and cured by moisture in an atmosphere, and more specifically, bleeding of a compound used for lowering the viscosity of the curable composition is suppressed. The present invention relates to a curable composition, a sealing material and an adhesive using the curable composition.

  Conventionally, various curable compositions using vinyl polymers having a crosslinkable hydrolyzable silyl group have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Curable compositions using these vinyl polymers are crosslinked by moisture in the atmosphere, and give a cured product excellent in durability, weather resistance, transparency and adhesiveness. Therefore, the curable composition is widely used in various applications such as paints, coating materials, sealants, sealants, adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and primers.

  The vinyl polymer having a hydrolyzable silyl group needs to have a low molecular weight in order to reduce the viscosity of the curable composition containing the vinyl polymer and improve the coating workability. However, when the molecular weight is lowered in this way, physical properties such as elongation of the cured product after curing may be deteriorated.

  Therefore, in order to reduce the viscosity of the curable composition while ensuring the physical properties of the cured product, it has been proposed to contain a polymer plasticizer as a liquid oligomer such as polypropylene glycol (for example, patent document). 2).

(Organic polymer (b))
The organic polymer (b) used in the present invention has a number average molecular weight having a polyether segment of 200 to 50,000. The organic polymer (b) is used for reducing the viscosity of the curable composition.

The organic polymer (b) having a polyether segment has an organic polymer (b1) whose main chain is essentially a polyether polymer, and has the same main chain structure as the vinyl polymer (a). And an organic polymer (b2) having no hydrolyzable silyl group. The main chain is essentially represented by the general formula [— (R—O) _n —, wherein R is a carbon number of 1 to 4. A certain alkylene group is shown. ] The polymer containing the chemical-bonded repeating unit represented by this.

  Examples of the polyalkylene oxide that is the main chain of the organic polymer (b) having the polyether segment include polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polybutylene oxide, etc., but in terms of significantly reducing the viscosity of the composition. Polypropylene oxide is preferred.

  As the method for producing the organic polymer (b2), a known method can be used similarly to the method for producing a polymer of a normal polymerizable unsaturated monomer. For example, a free radical polymerization method, an anionic polymerization method, a cationic polymerization method, a UV radical polymerization method, a living anion polymerization method, a living cation polymerization method, a living radical polymerization method, etc. can be used, and depending on the polymerizable reaction of the monomer A polymerization method may be appropriately selected.

  Moreover, as a polymerizable monomer, the polymerizable monomer which has a polyether segment is used, For example, the above-mentioned polyalkylene glycol (meth) acrylate of compounds 1-20 is mentioned. Furthermore, the above-mentioned other monomers can be copolymerized.

  If the number average molecular weight of the organic polymer (b) having the polyether segment is too small, the viscosity of the curable composition can be reduced, but volatility is observed, and the cured film has a volume over time. If it is too large, the cohesive force becomes too high and the effect of lowering the viscosity of the curable composition is lost. Therefore, the number average molecular weight is 200 to 50,000. Preferably it is 500-10000.

  As the organic polymer (b1) having the polyether segment, for example, Exenol 3020, Preminol 4010 and the like are commercially available as trade names “Excenol” and “Preminol” (Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.).

  The blending ratio of the organic polymer (b) is preferably 10 to 300 with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin comprising the vinyl polymer (a) and a polyether polymer to be described later added as necessary. Part by weight, more preferably 30 to 120 parts by weight is desirable. If the amount is less than 10 parts by weight, it may be difficult to lower the viscosity. If the amount exceeds 300 parts by weight, a siloxane bond is formed by the reaction of a crosslinkable hydrolyzable silyl group in the vinyl polymer and cured. However, it may be difficult to obtain a tough cured product.

(Polyether polymer)
In the curable composition according to the present invention, a polyether polymer containing a crosslinkable hydrolyzable silyl group can be further blended.

  Examples of the polyether polymer include those in which the main chain consists essentially of a polyether polymer, and polymers in which the main chain consists of polyether and (meth) acrylate. By blending this polyether polymer, the water resistance of the cured product can be increased, and the rubber elasticity when a sealing material is formed can be increased. When the vinyl polymer (a) and the polyether polymer are used in combination, the blending ratio is 0.1 to 0.1 parts by weight of the polyether polymer with respect to 100 parts by weight of the vinyl polymer (a). It is preferable to add in the ratio of 200 weight part, More preferably, it is 0.5-100 weight part.

  When the blending ratio of the polyether polymer is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the effect of improving adhesiveness may be reduced, and when it exceeds 200 parts by weight, the weather resistance may be lowered and the effect of improving adhesiveness may be obtained. It may not be so high.

The polyether-based polymer essentially has a main chain of the general formula [— (R—O) n
-And R in the formula represents an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. ] A polymer containing a hydrolyzable silyl group which can be cross-linked at the terminal.

  The polyether polymer is synthesized, for example, by reacting a polyalkylene oxide having an allyl group at the terminal with a hydrosilane compound represented by the following formula (2) in the presence of a group VIII transition metal.

Wherein R ⁵ is a group selected from a monovalent hydrocarbon group and a halogenated monovalent hydrocarbon group, a is an integer of 0, 1 or 2, X is a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, an acyloxy group, and Means an atom or group selected from a ketoximate group.)
Examples of the polyalkylene oxide that is the main chain of the polymer include polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polybutylene oxide, etc., but the cured product of the room temperature curable composition is excellent in water resistance and as a sealing material. Polypropylene oxide is preferable because it can ensure elasticity.

  As the crosslinkable hydrolyzable silyl group, those which do not generate harmful by-products after the reaction are preferable, and examples thereof include alkoxysilyl groups such as methoxysilyl group and ethoxysilyl group.

  If the number average molecular weight of the polyether-based polymer is small, the elongation of the cured product is not sufficient, the followability to the joint surface is lowered, and if it is large, the viscosity before curing is increased and the workability of the blending process is deteriorated. Therefore, the number average molecular weight is preferably 4,000 to 30,000, more preferably 10,000 to 30,000, and the molecular weight distribution is preferably 1.6 or less.

  Examples of the polyether polymer include, for example, trade name “MS polymer” (manufactured by Kaneka Chemical Co., Ltd.), MS polymer S-203, S-303, etc. As a product), Cyril SAT-200, SAT-350, SAT-400, as trade name "Exester" (Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.), Exester ESS-3620, ESS-3430, ESS-2420, ESS-2410, etc. Is commercially available.

(Layered silicate)
The layered silicate preferably used in the present invention means a silicate mineral having exchangeable cations between layers. The layered silicate used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include smectite clay minerals such as montmorillonite, saponite, hectorite, beidellite, stevensite, nontronite, vermiculite, halloysite, and swelling mica. It is done. Among these, montmorillonite and swellable mica are preferable. The layered silicate may be a natural product or a synthetic product, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  As the layered silicate, it is more preferable to use smectites or swelling mica having a large shape anisotropy effect defined by the following formula from the viewpoint of improving the mechanical strength and gas barrier property of the curable composition. In addition, the crystal | crystallization surface (A) and crystal | crystallization end surface (B) of layered silicate are typically shown in FIG.

  Shape anisotropy effect = area of crystal surface (A) / area of crystal end face (B)

  As shown in FIG. 2, the exchangeable cations existing between the layers of the layered silicate are ions such as sodium and calcium on the crystal surface, and these ions have ion exchange properties with a cationic substance. Therefore, various substances having a cationic property can be trapped (intercalated) between the layers of the layered silicate.

  Although it does not specifically limit as a cation exchange capacity | capacitance of the said layered silicate, It is preferable that it is 50-200 milliequivalent / 100g. If it is less than 50 milliequivalents / 100 g, the amount of the cationic surfactant that can be trapped (intercalated) between the crystal layers by ion exchange decreases, so the layers may not be sufficiently nonpolarized. On the other hand, when it exceeds 200 milliequivalents / 100 g, the bonding force between the layers of the layered silicate becomes strong, and it may be difficult to increase the distance between the crystal flakes constituting each layer of the layered silicate.

The layered silicate is blended in an amount of 0.1 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin. More preferably, it is 0.5 to 50 parts by weight, and particularly preferably 1 to 10 parts by weight. If it is less than 0.1 part by weight, it is difficult for the effect of improving the weather resistance and flame retardancy of the cured product to be exhibited, and if it exceeds 100 parts by weight, the viscosity of the curable composition increases and workability and productivity are reduced. There is.

In addition, the said base resin is the sum total of the said vinyl polymer (a) and the polyether polymer added as needed.
The layered silicate preferably has an average interlayer distance of (001) plane measured by wide-angle X-ray diffraction measurement method of 3 nm or more and dispersed including those existing in 5 layers or less. When the average interlayer distance is 3 nm or more and the dispersion is 5 layers or less, it is advantageous for the weather resistance and flame retardancy performance of the curable composition.

  In the present specification, the average interlayer distance of the layered silicate is an average interlayer distance when the fine flaky crystal is used as a layer, and is obtained by X-ray diffraction peak and transmission electron microscope photography, that is, wide-angle X It can be calculated by a line diffraction measurement method. The state where the layers are cleaved to 3 nm or more and dispersed including those existing in 5 layers or less means that a part or all of the layered silicate laminate is dispersed, This is because the interaction between layers is weakened.

  Furthermore, when the average interlayer distance of the layered silicate is 6 nm or more, it is particularly advantageous for expressing functions such as flame retardancy, mechanical properties, and heat resistance. If the average interlaminar distance is 6 nm or more, the lamellar silicate crystal flake layers separate into layers, and the interaction of the lamellar silicate weakens so that it can be almost ignored. The dispersion state in progresses in the direction of delamination stabilization. That is, the layered silicate is present in a stabilized state in the curable composition in a state where the layered silicates are separated in a flake form one by one.

  As a dispersion state of the layered silicate, it is preferable that the flaky crystals of the layered silicate are highly dispersed in the base resin. More specifically, it is preferable that 10% by weight or more of the layered silicate is dispersed in a state where it is present in 5 layers or less, more preferably, 20% by weight or more of the layered silicate is 5 layers or less. It is desirable to exist in a state. Furthermore, if the number of laminated flaky crystals is 5 or less, the effect of the addition of the layered silicate can be obtained satisfactorily, but if it is 3 or less, it is more preferable, and it is dispersed in a single layer. More desirable.

  The layered silicate in the present invention is preferably a layered silicate treated with a quaternary ammonium salt. This is because the dispersibility of the layered silicate in the base resin can be improved by treating with a quaternary ammonium salt. Further, the quaternary ammonium salt is known to have a catalytic action for the crosslinking reaction of the vinyl polymer (a). By dispersing it in the base resin together with the layered silicate, the dispersibility is improved and the curing speed is increased. Can also be promoted.

  Examples of the quaternary ammonium salt include lauryl trimethyl ammonium salt, stearyl trimethyl ammonium salt, trioctyl ammonium salt, distearyl dimethyl ammonium salt, di-cured tallow dimethyl ammonium salt, distearyl dibenzyl ammonium salt, and N-polyoxyethylene. -N-lauryl-N, N-dimethylammonium salt and the like can be mentioned, and these quaternary ammonium salts may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, a quaternary alkyl ammonium ion salt having an alkyl chain having 6 or more carbon atoms or a polyoxyalkylene chain is preferable because good dispersibility can be obtained.

  Various stirrers can be used to disperse the layered silicate, but if it is difficult to disperse, it may be easy to obtain a desired dispersion state by dispersing using a high shearing device such as a three roll.

(Ultraviolet absorber and light stabilizer)
The curable composition of the present invention preferably contains various ultraviolet absorbers and light stabilizers in order to improve the weather resistance. This is because the layered silicate acts so as to suppress bleeding out of various ultraviolet absorbers and light stabilizers in combination with the layered silicate, so that these are retained in the cured product for a long period of time.

Examples of the ultraviolet absorber include known ultraviolet absorbers such as benzotriazole and benzophenone, and among them, a benzotriazole ultraviolet absorber is preferable because of its high ultraviolet absorption performance. When the ultraviolet absorber is blended, it is preferably blended in an amount of 0.1 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the effect of improving weather resistance may be insufficient. If the amount exceeds 20 parts by weight, problems such as a loss of appearance as a sealing material due to coloration occur.

  As the light stabilizer, for example, a hindered amine light stabilizer is used. A hindered amine light stabilizer generally exhibits an excellent effect when used in combination with an ultraviolet absorber. Among the hindered amine light stabilizers (hereinafter referred to as light stabilizers), those having a group having a structure represented by the following chemical formula (3) in the molecule are particularly effective when used in combination with a layered silicate. Examples of such hindered amine light stabilizers include bis (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidine) sebacate and poly [{6- (1,1,3,3, -tetramethylbutyl). Amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl} {(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidine) imino} hexamethylene {(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl- 4-piperidine) imino}] and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The weather resistance effect of the combined use of the light stabilizer and the layered silicate is considered to be mainly due to the bleedout prevention effect of the light stabilizer. That is, it is considered that the layered silicate interacts with the light stabilizer in the composition to prevent the light stabilizer from escaping from the system.

When blending the light stabilizer, 0.1 to 2 with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin.
0 parts by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by weight is preferably blended. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the effect of improving the weather resistance may be insufficient. If the amount exceeds 20 parts by weight, coloring problems may occur and the appearance as a sealing material may be impaired.

For example, acrylic polymers, methacrylic polymers, polyvinyl alcohol derivatives, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene derivatives, polyesters, polyethers, polyisobutene, polyolefins, polyalkylene oxides, polyurethanes, polyamides, natural rubber, polybutadiene , Polyisoprene, NBR, SBS, SIS, SEBS, hydrogenated NBR, hydrogenated SBS, hydrogenated SIS, hydrogenated SEBS, and the like. Moreover, these copolymers and functional group modified products can be mentioned, and these may be combined as appropriate.

  The thixotropic agent is appropriately selected from substances whose composition exhibits thixotropic properties. Examples thereof include colloidal silica, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hydrophobized calcium carbonate, glass balloons, and glass beads. Regarding the selection of the thixotropic agent, it is desirable to have a surface having a high affinity for the vinyl polymer (a).
