JP 2000-281979 A

  However, in the tire polishing composition described in Patent Document 1, a good gloss and gloss can be obtained immediately after application, but when the car is subsequently washed, the gloss and gloss are significantly reduced. There is a problem that the film becomes uneven.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a tire polishing composition that can maintain good gloss and gloss and uniformity of a film even after washing and is excellent in durability.

  In order to achieve the above object, the polishing composition for a tire of the present invention is characterized by containing a reactive silicone and a silicone oil.

  In the tire polishing composition of the present invention, it is preferable that the reactive silicone has a hydroxyl group in the molecule.

  In the tire polishing composition of the present invention, it is preferable that the reactive silicone is contained in an amount of 0.05 to 1.8% by weight with respect to the total weight of the tire polishing composition.

  In the tire polishing composition of the present invention, the silicone oil preferably contains a silicone oil having a viscosity of 1000 Pa · s or more.

  According to the polishing composition for a tire of the present invention, it is possible to maintain good gloss and gloss and film uniformity even immediately after application and after durability such as washing. Good gloss and gloss can be given to the tire.

  The tire polishing composition of the present invention contains reactive silicone and silicone oil.

  In the present invention, the reactive silicone typically has, as a basic unit, two oxygen atoms out of four oxygen atoms bonded to a silicon atom as a substituent as represented by the following general formula (1). A bifunctional unit (D unit) substituted with R1 (for example, an alkyl group such as a methyl group and / or an aromatic group such as a phenyl group), and a silicon atom as shown in the following general formula (2) One of the four oxygen atoms bonded to is substituted with a substituent R2 (for example, an alkyl group such as a methyl group and / or an aromatic group such as a phenyl group), and the other oxygen atom is Reactive group monosubstituted bifunctional unit (reactive group monosubstituted D unit) substituted with a condensable reactive group X (for example, hydroxyl group) and / or silicon as shown by the following general formula (3) Bond to atom Silicone resin having a reactive group disubstituted bifunctional unit (reactive group disubstituted D unit) substituted with a reactive group X (for example, a hydroxyl group) capable of condensing two oxygen atoms among the four oxygen atoms When the reactive group X is, for example, a hydroxyl group, it is applied to a tire, and then, along with evaporation of the solvent, an ether bond that crosslinks between molecules is generated by a condensation reaction to form a three-dimensional network structure.

（式中、Ｘは、反応基を示す。）
また、本発明においては、このようなシリコーンレジンを溶剤に溶解した反応性シリコーンワニスを用いることもできる。

(In the formula, X represents a reactive group.)
In the present invention, a reactive silicone varnish in which such a silicone resin is dissolved in a solvent can also be used.

  By using such a reactive silicone, it is possible to form a firm film and maintain gloss and gloss over a long period of time compared to the case of using a conventional silicone varnish mainly composed of MQ type resin. Moreover, it is excellent in washing resistance, and for example, even when a car is washed, the film does not easily fall off.

  Such reactive silicone is not particularly limited. For example, Trefill R-910 (trade name, manufactured by Toray Dow Corning Silicone), KR-114A (trade name, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical), KR-114B ( Commercially available silicone resins such as trade name, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. can be used.

  Further, the reactive silicone is, for example, 0.05 to 1.8% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 1.8% by weight, more preferably 1.% by weight based on the total weight of the polishing composition. 0 to 1.8% by weight is contained. When the reactive silicone is contained in the range of 0.05 to 1.8% by weight with respect to the total weight of the polishing composition, the tire surface is given good gloss and gloss, and its performance is improved. Can last for a long time. If it is less than 0.05% by weight, film formation may be insufficient and sustainability may be reduced. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1.8% by weight, there is no problem with sustainability, but the uniformity of the film may be lowered.

  In the present invention, the silicone oil is not particularly limited. For example, dimethyl silicone oil such as dimethylpolysiloxane, methylphenyl silicone oil such as methylphenylpolysiloxane, methyl hydrogen such as methylhydropolysiloxane, and the like. Diene silicone oil, for example, alkyl-modified silicone oil such as alkyl-modified polysiloxane, for example, alkylaralkyl-modified silicone oil such as alkylaralkyl-modified polysiloxane, for example, fluorine-modified silicone oil such as fluorine-modified polysiloxane, for example, epoxy-modified polysiloxane Epoxy-modified silicone oil such as siloxane, for example, epoxy polyether-modified silicone oil such as epoxy polyether-modified polysiloxane For example, a phenol-modified silicone oil such as a phenol-modified polysiloxane, a hydrophobic silicone oil such as an acrylic-modified silicone oil such as an acrylic-modified polysiloxane, a polyether-modified silicone oil such as a polyether-modified polysiloxane, Alcohol-modified silicone oil such as alcohol-modified polysiloxane, amino-modified silicone oil such as amino-modified polysiloxane, carboxyl-modified silicone oil such as carboxyl-modified polysiloxane, and mercapto-modified silicone oil such as mercapto-modified polysiloxane And hydrophilic silicone oil. Of these, hydrophobic silicone oil is preferable, and dimethyl silicone oil such as dimethylpolysiloxane and methylphenyl silicone oil such as methylphenylpolysiloxane are more preferable. These silicone oils may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  In the present invention, the viscosity of the silicone oil is, for example, 1 to 100,000 Pa · s, preferably 10 to 50,000 Pa · s.

  Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable to contain the silicone oil of 1000 Pa.s or more. By including a silicone oil having a viscosity of 1000 Pa · s or more, when applied to the tire surface, the silicone oil is difficult to be absorbed by the rubber of the tire, a good gloss is obtained, and the durability of the gloss against washing is improved. .

  In the present invention, a high-viscosity silicone oil of 1000 to 100,000 Pa · s, preferably 3000 to 50,000 Pa · s, and a low-viscosity silicone of 1 to 100 Pa · s, preferably 5 to 50 Pa · s. It is preferable to use oil together. By using these in combination, the gloss of the high viscosity silicone oil can be maintained and the uniformity of the film, which is difficult to produce only with the high viscosity silicone oil, can be improved.

  The silicone oil is contained, for example, in an amount of 5 to 45% by weight, preferably 20 to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of the polishing composition. When the silicone oil is contained in the range of 5 to 45% by weight with respect to the total weight of the polishing composition, a good gloss can be obtained on the tire surface, and a sufficient gloss can be obtained even for cleaning. Retained. If it is less than 5% by weight, a sufficient film may not be formed on the tire surface. If it exceeds 45% by weight, there is no problem with film formation, but excessive oil may remain on the tire surface, resulting in poor film uniformity and easy adhesion of dirt.

  Moreover, the polishing composition of the tire of the present invention can be appropriately blended with other known additives such as a hydrocarbon-based additive, for example, depending on the purpose and application.

  Examples of the hydrocarbon-based additive include α-olefin oligomer, squalane, vegetable squalane, ground wax, solid paraffin, liquid paraffin, pristane, microcrystalline wax, petrolatum and the like. Of these, liquid paraffin is preferable.

  These hydrocarbon additives may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  Moreover, a hydrocarbon type additive is mix | blended so that it may become 0.1 to 10 weight% with respect to the total weight of a polishing composition, for example, Preferably, it is 0.5 to 5 weight%.

  And the polishing composition of the tire of this invention can be suitably prepared by mix | blending each above-mentioned component in a solvent etc.

  Examples of the solvent include aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, heptane, octane, isooctane, nonane, decane, undecane, and dodecane, for example, aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, such as methyl acetate. Ester solvents such as ethyl acetate and γ-butyrolactone, sulfur-containing solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane, dimethylthioformamide, N-methylthiopyrrolidone, for example, formamide, N-methylformamide, N, N-dimethylformamide, N Amide solvents such as -methylacetamide, N, N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpropionamide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea, , Acetonitrile, Nitrile solvents such as pionitrile, butyronitrile, isobutyronitrile, benzonitrile, for example, ketone solvents such as acetone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, acetylacetone, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane And ether solvents such as mineral oil and petroleum solvents such as mineral spirits. Among these, Preferably, an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent and a petroleum solvent are mentioned.

  In the tire polishing composition of the present invention, the reactive silicone varnish and the silicone oil and, if necessary, known additives such as hydrocarbon-based additives are described above so as to have the above-mentioned ratios. It can prepare by mix | blending with a solvent and mixing.

  In addition, the polishing composition of the present invention is generally used as a polishing agent within a range that does not impair workability and performance, for example, a viscosity modifier, an antiaging agent, an ultraviolet absorber, Ingredients such as colorants such as pigments or dyes and fluorescent pigments, fragrances, and surfactants may be blended as necessary.

  When the thus obtained tire polishing composition of the present invention is used, for example, for polishing an automobile tire, the tire surface is used as the tire polishing composition of the present invention. The tire polishing composition impregnated in the sponge is applied to the tire surface by rubbing with an impregnated sponge or the like. The coating method is not particularly limited, and for example, brush coating, aerosol type, etc. can be adopted. If it does so, the solvent of the polishing composition of the tire apply | coated to the tire surface will evaporate, and, thereby, the reactive silicone contained in the polishing composition of a tire will harden | cure. Therefore, a uniform film is formed on the tire surface, and good gloss and gloss are imparted. In addition, the film formed on the tire maintains its uniformity and maintains good gloss and gloss not only immediately after application but also after durability such as washing. Therefore, if the polishing composition for tires of the present invention is used, the tire is excellent in durability and can impart good gloss and gloss to the tire over a long period of time.

  Moreover, the polishing composition for tires of the present invention can be widely used not only for automobile tires but also for tires such as aircraft and monorail.
