Description
本発明は、PTC導電性塗料に関し、さらに詳しくは、床暖房システムに好適な面状発熱体を得るのに適したPTC導電性塗料に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a PTC conductive paint, and more particularly to a PTC conductive paint suitable for obtaining a planar heating element suitable for a floor heating system.
従来、電気式発熱体として、約100℃以下の低温領域において自己温度制御性(PTC特性:電気抵抗の正温度係数の略であり、温度上昇につれて電気抵抗が大きくなる性質)を有しない抵抗発熱体、たとえばニクロム線を使用した発熱体は広く利用されている。しかし、この発熱体の宿命的欠陥は、温度が、実用上または安全上好ましくない程度に高い領域までに上昇する危険があり、複雑な過熱防止機構が必要であった。また、線状の発熱体であるので、面状発熱体として用いるには、ニクロム線の工夫された配置と高性能な均熱材が必要となる。
また、PTC特性を有する導電性塗料をたとえば繊維布帛上に形成し、これを面状発熱体として使用することが知られている。導電性塗料にPTC特性を付与する付与剤としてパラフィンが知られている。一般的にパラフインはその融点が低く、60℃以下であるのが通常である。かかるパラフィンを用いた導電性インクは、これから得られる面状発熱体が比較的低い温度で軟化してしまうという欠陥を有している。Conventionally, as an electric heating element, resistance heating without self-temperature controllability (PTC characteristic: an abbreviation of a positive temperature coefficient of electric resistance, which increases electric resistance as the temperature rises) in a low temperature range of about 100 ° C. or lower. Body, for example, heating elements using nichrome wire are widely used. However, this fatal defect of the heating element has a risk that the temperature rises to an undesirably high temperature for practical use or safety, and a complicated overheat prevention mechanism is required. Moreover, since it is a linear heating element, in order to use it as a planar heating element, a special arrangement of nichrome wires and a high-performance soaking material are required.
It is also known that a conductive paint having PTC characteristics is formed on, for example, a fiber cloth and used as a planar heating element. Paraffin is known as an imparting agent for imparting PTC characteristics to a conductive paint. In general, paraffin has a low melting point and is usually 60 ° C. or lower. The conductive ink using such paraffin has a defect that the planar heating element obtained therefrom is softened at a relatively low temperature.
面状発熱体に用いられるパラフィン使いのPTC導電性インクは、導電性物質としてのカーボンブラック或いはグラファイト、PTC付与剤としてのパラフィン、構造材としての熱可塑性樹脂または熱硬化性樹脂等の樹脂成分、及び溶剤から構成されているものが一般的である。そして、かかるPTC導電性塗料から面状発熱体を取得する典型的な製法は、該塗料を繊維布帛あるいはフィルム等に塗布し、ついで、熱硬化性樹脂使いの場合は架橋のための焼成、乾燥、及びエイジング等の処理を順次施すという工程からなる。このようにして得られる従来の面状発熱体は、柔軟性に欠けて耐屈曲性に劣り、屈曲を繰り返すことにより亀裂が生じ抵抗を無視し得ないほど変化させてしまうとか、上述した様にパラフィンの融点が低いことに起因して耐熱安定性に欠けるとか、優秀なPTC特性を付与せんとすると初期電気抵抗が高くなりすぎ、即ち優秀なPTC特性と低い初期電気抵抗との兼備が困難であり、結局発熱量の大きな面状発熱体が得られないとか、および長期間使用後の経時変化を免れ得ないものがあるとか等の欠陥を有し面状発熱体の典型的用途である床暖房システムに適するものが極めて少ない。 The PTC conductive ink using paraffin used for the sheet heating element includes carbon black or graphite as a conductive substance, paraffin as a PTC imparting agent, a resin component such as a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin as a structural material, And those composed of a solvent are generally used. A typical method for obtaining a planar heating element from such a PTC conductive coating is to apply the coating to a fiber fabric or film, and then to baked and dried for crosslinking in the case of using a thermosetting resin. And aging and the like are sequentially performed. The conventional planar heating element obtained in this way lacks flexibility and is inferior in bending resistance, and cracking occurs due to repeated bending, and the resistance is changed so that it cannot be ignored. If the melting point of paraffin is low, heat resistance stability is insufficient, or if excellent PTC characteristics are not imparted, the initial electrical resistance becomes too high, that is, it is difficult to combine excellent PTC characteristics and low initial electrical resistance. The floor is a typical use of a planar heating element that has defects such as the fact that a planar heating element with a large calorific value cannot be obtained in the end, and that there is something that cannot be subject to changes over time after long-term use. Very few are suitable for heating systems.
従って、本発明の目的は、優れた柔軟性及び80℃において極めて高い耐熱安定性を有し、使用による経時変化が極めて少なく、優秀なPTC特性と低い初期電気抵抗とを兼備し、かつ形態安定性の良好な面状発熱体を提供しうる新規なPTC導電性塗料を提供することにある。 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to have excellent flexibility and extremely high heat stability at 80 ° C., very little change with time due to use, excellent PTC characteristics and low initial electrical resistance, and form stability. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel PTC conductive paint capable of providing a planar heating element having good properties.
本発明者らが、鋭意検討した結果、本発明の上記目的は下記の構成を有する本発明によって工業的に有利に達成された。 As a result of intensive studies by the inventors, the above object of the present invention has been industrially advantageously achieved by the present invention having the following constitution.

〔3〕固溶比が1:1.5〜4であることを特徴とする上記〔1〕又は〔2〕に記載のPTC導電性塗料。
〔4〕上記〔1〕〜〔3〕のいずれかに記載のPTC導電性塗料を繊維布帛に塗布・焼成せしめてなる面状発熱体。[1] In a PTC conductive paint comprising carbon black or graphite, paraffin, thermoplastic elastomer, crystalline thermoplastic resin, and solvent, (1) the melting point of paraffin is in the range of 86 ° C. to 105 ° C., and (2) ▼ The weight ratio of paraffin to carbon black or graphite is in the range of 1.5 to 3.5, and ③the paraffin is based on the total amount of resin components and paraffin including the thermoplastic elastomer and the crystalline thermoplastic resin. PTC conductivity characterized by being in the range of 40 wt% to 80 wt%, and (4) carbon black or graphite in the range of 14 wt% or more and less than 22 wt% with respect to the total solid content paint.
[2] The PTC conductive paint according to the above [1], wherein the weight ratio of the thermoplastic elastomer to the crystalline thermoplastic resin is in the range of 2.0 to 5.0.
[3] The PTC conductive paint according to the above [1] or [2], wherein the solid solution ratio is 1: 1.5 to 4.
[4] A planar heating element obtained by applying and firing the PTC conductive paint according to any one of [1] to [3] to a fiber fabric.
本発明の最大の特徴は、特定のパラフィンの使用、パラフィン及びカーボンブラックの使用量の限定、及び特定の樹脂成分の使用により、優れた柔軟性及び80℃において充分な耐熱安定性を有し、使用による経時変化が極めて少なく、極めて高いPTC倍率を有し、かつ形態安定性の良好な面状発熱体を提供することを可能にするPTC導電性塗料を提供した点にある。 The greatest feature of the present invention is that it has excellent flexibility and sufficient heat stability at 80 ° C. due to the use of specific paraffin, the use amount of paraffin and carbon black, and the use of specific resin components. A PTC conductive paint that can provide a planar heating element that has very little PTC magnification and that has a very high PTC magnification and that has good form stability is provided.
本発明において、PTC導電性塗料は、グラファイト或いはカーボンブラック、パラフィン、熱可塑性エラストマと結晶性熱可塑性樹脂とを含む樹脂成分、及び溶剤からなる。グラファイト或いはカーボンブラックが導電性付与材であり、パラフィンがPTC付与材であり、そして熱可塑性エラストマと結晶性熱可塑性樹脂とは樹脂成分であって、いわゆる構造材としての機能を果たし、これらが固形成分である。かかる固形成分と溶剤との比を固溶比という。 In the present invention, the PTC conductive coating is composed of graphite or carbon black, paraffin, a resin component containing a thermoplastic elastomer and a crystalline thermoplastic resin, and a solvent. Graphite or carbon black is a conductivity imparting material, paraffin is a PTC imparting material, and a thermoplastic elastomer and a crystalline thermoplastic resin are resin components that function as so-called structural materials. It is an ingredient. The ratio between the solid component and the solvent is called a solid solution ratio.
本発明において、カーボンブラック或いはグラファイトが全固形分に対して14重量%以上22重量%未満の範囲内であることが必要であり、好ましくは16重量%〜19重量%の範囲内である。かかる範囲であると極めて高いPTC倍率が得られる。この値が14重量%未満であると、初期電気抵抗が高くなりすぎ、また22重量%以上であると、所望とする極めて高いPTC倍率を得ることが難しくなる。カーボンブラック或いはグラファイトは、如何なる種類のものも使用可能である。この導電性物質は、通常、微細粉末状で用いられる。 In the present invention, the carbon black or graphite needs to be in the range of 14% by weight or more and less than 22% by weight with respect to the total solid content, and preferably in the range of 16% by weight to 19% by weight. In such a range, a very high PTC magnification can be obtained. When this value is less than 14% by weight, the initial electric resistance becomes too high, and when it is 22% by weight or more, it becomes difficult to obtain a desired extremely high PTC magnification. Any kind of carbon black or graphite can be used. This conductive material is usually used in the form of a fine powder.
本発明において、パラフィンは、その融点が86℃〜110℃の範囲内であることが必要である。融点が86℃以上のパラフィンを使用することにより耐熱性が大幅に改善されるからである。しかし、110℃を超えると、PTC特性が充分発揮される温度が高くなりすぎ、床暖房用の面状発熱体として不適となる。パラフィンの融点のより好ましい範囲は90℃〜105℃の範囲である。パラフィンには製造由来から石炭系と石油系があるが、本発明においてはいずれも採用可能である。
パラフィンのカーボンブラック或いはグラファイトに対する重量比が1.5〜3.5の範囲内であることが必要であり、1.5未満であると、所望のPTC倍率を付与することが困難であり、また3.5を超えると、カーボン濃度が低くさせるので、初期電気抵抗が高くなりすぎる傾向にあり、好ましくない。
本発明において、パラフィンが熱可塑性エラストマと結晶性熱可塑性樹脂とを含む樹脂成分及びパラフィンの合計量に対して40重量%〜80重量の範囲内であることが必要である。この値が40重量%未満であると所望のPTC倍率を付与することが困難であり、また80重量%を超えると、構造材としての樹脂成分が少なくなりすぎ、得られる面状発熱体の機械的物性が損なわれるので、好ましくない。より好ましい範囲は50重量%〜70重量%である。本発明に使用されるパラフィンはイソパラフィン含有量の少ないものが顕著なPTC特性を得るために好ましい。またパラフィンは微粉末状であることが好ましい。In the present invention, the paraffin must have a melting point in the range of 86 ° C to 110 ° C. This is because the heat resistance is greatly improved by using paraffin having a melting point of 86 ° C. or higher. However, if it exceeds 110 ° C., the temperature at which the PTC characteristics are sufficiently exhibited becomes too high, and it becomes unsuitable as a planar heating element for floor heating. A more preferable range of the melting point of paraffin is in the range of 90 ° C to 105 ° C. There are coal-based and petroleum-based paraffins from the origin, but any of them can be used in the present invention.
The weight ratio of paraffin to carbon black or graphite needs to be in the range of 1.5 to 3.5, and if it is less than 1.5, it is difficult to give a desired PTC magnification, If it exceeds 3.5, the carbon concentration is lowered, so the initial electrical resistance tends to be too high, which is not preferable.
In the present invention, it is necessary that the paraffin is in the range of 40% by weight to 80% by weight with respect to the total amount of the resin component and the paraffin including the thermoplastic elastomer and the crystalline thermoplastic resin. If this value is less than 40% by weight, it is difficult to give a desired PTC magnification. If it exceeds 80% by weight, the resin component as a structural material becomes too small, and the resulting sheet heating element machine is obtained.

本発明にかかるPTC導電性塗料の製法は特に制限を受けないが、典型的な製法は次の通りである。すなわち、次の順序の工程により製造される。(1)加熱された攪拌容器に芳香族の溶剤を入れ、40〜60℃の温度まで加熱する、(2)結晶性熱可塑性樹脂及び熱可塑性エラストマからなる樹脂成分を加える、(3)パラフィンを添加し、すべての固形分が溶解乃至十分分散するまで、攪拌を続ける、(4)カーボンブラックまたはグラファイトの導電性微細粉体を加え、滑らかなペーストが形成されるまで攪拌する、そして、(5)そのペーストを、この導電性微細粉体の実質的に均一な分散体となるまで混練する。 The production method of the PTC conductive paint according to the present invention is not particularly limited, but a typical production method is as follows. That is, it is manufactured by the following sequence of steps. (1) An aromatic solvent is put into a heated stirring vessel and heated to a temperature of 40 to 60 ° C. (2) A resin component consisting of a crystalline thermoplastic resin and a thermoplastic elastomer is added, (3) paraffin is added Add and continue stirring until all solids are dissolved or fully dispersed (4) Add conductive black powder of carbon black or graphite, stir until a smooth paste is formed, and (5 ) The paste is kneaded until a substantially uniform dispersion of the conductive fine powder is obtained.
かくして得られるPTC導電性塗料は、面状発熱体用として好適に用いられ、とりわけ床暖房用面状発熱体用として最も好適に用いられる。
このPTC導電性塗料から面状発熱体を得る方法としては高分子フィルムあるいは繊維シートに該塗料を塗布・焼成する方法が典型的である。以下繊維シートに塗布・焼成する方法について詳述すると、繊維シートとしての繊維布帛には、予め電極線を内包するものを用いるのが好ましく、またかかる繊維布帛としては、綿、ポリエステル系繊維、ポリアミド系繊維、アクリル系繊維、ビニロン系繊維等、又はこれらのうち少なくとも1種を含む紡績糸、又は混繊糸等よりなる繊維糸条を経糸及び/又は緯糸に配し、その経糸及び又は緯糸の一部に銅線又はこれに代わる良導電性線条物を所定間隔で配置した繊維織物が挙げられる。焼成のための加熱方法としては、たとえば、遠赤外線照射、マイクロウエーブ照射、誘電加熱、熱風加熱等が利用出来るが、これらに限定されるものではなく、適切な温度管理が可能なものであればよく、また、導電性塗料の溶媒の発散速度に塗膜の表面と内部とで差ができない方法が好ましい。The PTC conductive paint thus obtained is preferably used for a planar heating element, and most preferably used for a planar heating element for floor heating.
A typical method for obtaining a planar heating element from this PTC conductive coating is a method of applying and baking the coating on a polymer film or fiber sheet. The method for coating and firing the fiber sheet will be described in detail below. As the fiber cloth as the fiber sheet, it is preferable to use a fiber cloth that includes electrode wires in advance, and as the fiber cloth, cotton, polyester fiber, polyamide Fiber yarns composed of fibers, acrylic fibers, vinylon fibers, etc., or spun yarns containing at least one of them, or mixed yarns are arranged on warps and / or wefts, and the warps and / or wefts Examples thereof include a textile fabric in which copper wires or good conductive filaments replacing the copper wires are arranged at predetermined intervals. As a heating method for firing, for example, far-infrared irradiation, microwave irradiation, dielectric heating, hot air heating and the like can be used. However, the heating method is not limited thereto, and any suitable temperature control can be performed. In addition, a method in which the difference in the divergence rate of the solvent of the conductive paint between the surface and the inside of the coating film is preferable is preferable.
PTC導電性の面状発熱体の製法として糸に導電性塗料を含浸させて得たものを使用する方法もある。糸にPTC導電性塗料を含浸させてPTC導電性を付与せしめた糸を編織することにより繊維綿布となし、これを用いるのである。この場合、電極に用いる電極線も任意の素材を選択することが出来、編織の際任意の形状に挿入することができる。また、面状発熱体の横糸の方向に電圧を加えると、縦糸には殆ど電圧が加わらず、発熱機能を発揮しない。この場合、面布に導電性塗料を含浸させた糸を使用し、導電性塗料を含浸させていない糸との組み合わせで編織すれば、電圧が加わる方向の糸のみに、発熱機能を付与させることで、塗料の節約が可能となる。この場合、導電性塗料を含浸させる糸に、たとえば、ナイロン等のような引張強度の高い繊維を撚り合わせたケーブルを使用することにより発熱体の強度を増強することが出来る。 There is also a method of using a PTC conductive sheet heating element obtained by impregnating a thread with a conductive paint. The yarn is impregnated with a PTC conductive paint and knitted with PTC conductivity to form a cotton fabric, which is used. In this case, the electrode wire used for the electrode can also be selected from any material, and can be inserted into any shape during weaving. Further, when a voltage is applied in the direction of the weft of the sheet heating element, almost no voltage is applied to the warp and the heat generation function is not exhibited. In this case, if we use yarn with a surface coating impregnated with conductive paint and weave it in combination with yarn not impregnated with conductive paint, we can give heat generation function only to the yarn in the direction to which voltage is applied. Thus, the paint can be saved. In this case, the strength of the heating element can be increased by using, for example, a cable in which fibers having high tensile strength such as nylon are twisted as the yarn impregnated with the conductive paint.
