Description

本発明は鋳造用の鋳型を製造するのに、加熱を必要としない常温硬化法に関するものである。更に詳しくは、水溶性フェノール樹脂を有機エステルにより硬化させる、有機エステル硬化型フェノール樹脂を用いた鋳型製造用粘結剤組成物、鋳型製造用組成物、および鋳造用鋳型製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a room temperature curing method that does not require heating to produce a casting mold. More specifically, the present invention relates to a binder composition for mold production using an organic ester curable phenol resin, a composition for mold production, and a casting mold production method, wherein a water-soluble phenol resin is cured with an organic ester.

鋳造用鋳型を製造する方法として、水溶性フェノール樹脂を含む粘結剤溶液を使用し、液状の有機エステル化合物で硬化させる自硬性型鋳型製造法とガス状又はエアロゾル状物質で常温硬化させるガス硬化型鋳型製造法は公知である。(例えば、特許文献1参照。)
この粘結剤組成物を用いた鋳型製造法は、粘結剤組成物中に硫黄元素を含まないので、酸硬化性樹脂を用いた鋳型製造法に比べて浸硫による影響が少ないという特徴を有する反面、特に鋳型製造時及び鋳造時にホルムアルデヒド臭気が発生するので、作業環境が悪いという問題がある。
As a method for producing a casting mold, a self-hardening mold manufacturing method using a binder solution containing a water-soluble phenol resin and curing with a liquid organic ester compound, and gas curing using a gaseous or aerosol-like material at room temperature. Mold production methods are known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)
The mold manufacturing method using this binder composition does not contain elemental sulfur in the binder composition, and therefore has a feature that it is less affected by sulfurization than the mold manufacturing method using an acid curable resin. On the other hand, there is a problem that the working environment is bad because formaldehyde odor is generated particularly during mold production and casting.

この問題の解決法として、水溶性フェノール樹脂にホルムアルデヒド捕捉剤として有機窒素化合物を添加する方法が知られている。(特許文献2参照。)しかし、水溶性フェノール樹脂に有機窒素化合物、例えば、尿素を添加すると、尿素はフェノール樹脂と縮合反応をする(非特許文献1参照。)ので、水溶性フェノール樹脂が変質、増粘するため貯蔵、鋳型造型にとって好ましくない。 As a solution to this problem, a method of adding an organic nitrogen compound as a formaldehyde scavenger to a water-soluble phenol resin is known. However, when an organic nitrogen compound such as urea is added to the water-soluble phenol resin, urea undergoes a condensation reaction with the phenol resin (see Non-Patent Document 1), so that the water-soluble phenol resin is altered. Because of thickening, it is not preferable for storage and mold making.

特許第2504672号Japanese Patent No. 2504672 「フェノール樹脂(第2版)」、Andre Knop他著、瀬戸正二 監訳、プラスチックス・エージ発行、1987年、p55“Phenolic Resin (2nd Edition)”, Andre Knop et al., Translated by Shoji Seto, Published by Plastics Age, 1987, p55

本発明は、水溶性フェノール樹脂を粘結剤とし、これを有機エステルで硬化させる鋳型製造用粘結剤組成物を用いた鋳型製造法において、鋳型製造時及び鋳造時にホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を抑制し、しかも貯蔵時に水溶性フェノール樹脂を変質、増粘させることのないホルムアルデヒド捕捉剤を含有する鋳型製造用粘結剤組成物を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention suppresses the generation of formaldehyde odor during mold production and casting in a mold production method using a binder composition for mold production in which a water-soluble phenol resin is used as a binder and cured with an organic ester. And it aims at providing the binder composition for mold manufacture containing the formaldehyde scavenger which does not denature and thicken water-soluble phenol resin at the time of storage.

本発明者らは、前記課題である、有機エステル硬化型フェノール樹脂を用いた鋳型製造用粘結剤組成物、鋳型製造用組成物、および鋳造用鋳型製造法において、鋳型製造時及び鋳造時にホルムアルデヒド臭気が発生し、作業環境が悪いという課題の解決法を鋭意検討した結果、有機エステル1種類単独または2種類以上の有機エステルを混合した有機エステル混合液を硬化剤として用いて、硬化剤にエチレン尿素を添加、溶解することにより、ホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を顕著に抑制できることを見い出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 In the binder production composition for mold production using the organic ester curable phenolic resin, the composition for mold production, and the casting mold production method, which are the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors provide formaldehyde during mold production and casting. As a result of diligent research on a solution to the problem that the odor is generated and the working environment is bad, an organic ester mixed solution obtained by mixing one organic ester or a mixture of two or more organic esters is used as a curing agent, and ethylene is used as the curing agent. It has been found that generation of formaldehyde odor can be remarkably suppressed by adding and dissolving urea, and the present invention has been completed.

すなわち、本発明は、下記(1)に示した自硬性型鋳型製造用粘結剤組成物、および下記(2)と(3)に示した自硬性型鋳型製造用組成物である。
(1)有機エステル1種類単独または2種類以上の有機エステルを混合した有機エステル混合液であって、該有機エステルまたは有機エステル混合液がエチレン尿素溶解度として0.1重量%以上を有し、該有機エステルまたは有機エステル混合液のエチレン尿素溶液をA成分とし、B成分として水溶性フェノール樹脂からなる自硬性型鋳型製造用粘結剤組成物。

That is, this invention is the binder composition for self-hardening type | mold mold manufacture shown to following (1), and the composition for self-hardening type | mold mold manufacturing shown to following (2) and (3).
(1) One kind of organic ester or an organic ester mixed liquid in which two or more kinds of organic esters are mixed, wherein the organic ester or the organic ester mixed liquid has an ethylene urea solubility of 0.1% by weight or more, A binder composition for producing a self-hardening mold, comprising an organic ester or an ethylene urea solution of an organic ester mixed solution as an A component and a B component as a water-soluble phenol resin.
(2) One kind of organic ester or an organic ester mixed liquid in which two or more kinds of organic esters are mixed, wherein the organic ester or organic ester mixed liquid has an ethylene urea solubility of 0.1% by weight or more, A composition for producing a self-hardening mold, comprising an ethylene ester solution of an organic ester or an organic ester mixed solution as a component A, a water-soluble phenol resin as a component B, and a refractory aggregate as a component C.
(3) 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 1 to 10% by weight of ethylene urea dissolved in component A, 0.05 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 2 parts by weight, water component B A composition for producing a self-hardening mold containing 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of a phenol resin, and 100 parts by weight of a refractory aggregate which is a C component.

また本発明は、有機エステル1種類単独または2種類以上の有機エステルを混合した有機エステル混合液であって、該有機エステルまたは有機エステル混合液がエチレン尿素溶解度として0.1重量%以上を有し、該有機エステルまたは有機エステル混合液のエチレン尿素溶液であるA成分と、C成分である耐火性骨材を混合し、この混合物にB成分である水溶性フェノール樹脂を添加、混合して自硬性型鋳型製造用組成物を調整後、この自硬性型鋳型製造用組成物を鋳型製造用型枠内に収納して成形し硬化させる、鋳造用鋳型製造方法である。 Further, the present invention is an organic ester mixed liquid obtained by mixing one kind of organic ester alone or two or more kinds of organic esters, and the organic ester or organic ester mixed liquid has an ethylene urea solubility of 0.1% by weight or more. , A component which is ethylene urea solution of the organic ester or organic ester mixed solution and refractory aggregate which is C component are mixed, and water-soluble phenolic resin which is B component is added to this mixture and mixed to be self-hardening This is a casting mold manufacturing method in which, after the mold mold manufacturing composition is prepared, the self-hardening mold manufacturing composition is housed in a mold manufacturing mold, molded and cured.

硬化剤にエチレン尿素を添加、溶解することにより、ホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を顕著に抑制し、作業環境の向上を可能にした。これは、エチレン尿素が硬化剤に溶解しているので、粒状耐火性骨材、水溶性フェノール樹脂と充分に均一に混合できるためである。また、硬化剤にエチレン尿素を添加、溶解したことにより、従来用いられてきた鋳造用鋳型製造法に、ホルムアルデヒド捕捉剤を添加する新たな作業、工程の増加、装置の増設も必要としない。すなわち、粒状耐火性骨材と硬化剤を混合後、水溶性フェノール樹脂を添加、混合することで鋳造用鋳型を製造できる。更に、水溶性フェノール樹脂に有機窒素化合物を添加する方法のように水溶性フェノール樹脂の変質、増粘のようなことも生じないので、貯蔵、鋳型造型にとって好ましくないことも起こらない。 By adding and dissolving ethylene urea in the curing agent, the generation of formaldehyde odor was remarkably suppressed and the working environment was improved. This is because ethylene urea is dissolved in the curing agent, so that it can be sufficiently uniformly mixed with the granular refractory aggregate and the water-soluble phenol resin. In addition, since ethylene urea is added to and dissolved in the curing agent, a new operation for adding a formaldehyde scavenger, an increase in the number of processes, and an additional apparatus are not required in the conventional casting mold manufacturing method. That is, a casting mold can be manufactured by adding and mixing a water-soluble phenol resin after mixing a granular refractory aggregate and a curing agent. Further, since there is no alteration or thickening of the water-soluble phenolic resin as in the method of adding an organic nitrogen compound to the water-soluble phenolic resin, it is not undesirable for storage and mold making.

従来の自硬性型鋳型製造法は、粒状耐火性骨材と硬化剤である有機エステルを混合後、水溶性フェノール樹脂を添加、混合する。この方法は、粒状耐火性骨材、硬化剤、及び水溶性フェノール樹脂の3成分より成っている。
ホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を抑制するために、例えば、粒状耐火性骨材と有機窒素化合物あるいは有機窒素化合物溶液を予め混合しておき、その後、硬化剤、水溶性フェノール樹脂を混合する方法も考えられるが、この方法では、粒状耐火性骨材、有機窒素化合物あるいは有機窒素化合物溶液、硬化剤、及び水溶性フェノール樹脂の4成分になるので、従来の鋳造用鋳型製造法に比べて工程、作業量が増加し、場合によっては、製造装置の改良、増設が必要になり好ましくない。
In a conventional self-hardening mold manufacturing method, a granular refractory aggregate and an organic ester as a curing agent are mixed, and then a water-soluble phenol resin is added and mixed. This method consists of three components: a granular refractory aggregate, a curing agent, and a water-soluble phenolic resin.
In order to suppress the generation of formaldehyde odor, for example, a method in which granular refractory aggregate and an organic nitrogen compound or an organic nitrogen compound solution are mixed in advance and then a curing agent and a water-soluble phenol resin are mixed is also considered. In this method, since it becomes four components of granular refractory aggregate, organic nitrogen compound or organic nitrogen compound solution, curing agent, and water-soluble phenol resin, the process and work volume are compared with the conventional casting mold manufacturing method. In some cases, the manufacturing apparatus needs to be improved or expanded, which is not preferable.

以上説明したとおり、水溶性フェノール樹脂を粘結剤とし、これを有機エステルで硬化させる鋳型製造用粘結剤組成物を用いた鋳型製造法において、硬化剤にエチレン尿素を添加、溶解することにより、ホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を顕著に抑制し、作業環境の向上を可能にした。これは、エチレン尿素が硬化剤に溶解しているので、粒状耐火性骨材、水溶性フェノール樹脂と充分に均一に混合できるからである。また、前記した、有機窒素化合物を水溶性フェノール樹脂に添加する場合のように、水溶性フェノール樹脂が変質、増粘するようなことも起こらない。更に、硬化剤にエチレン尿素を添加、溶解することにより、従来の鋳造用鋳型製造法に新たな作業、工程の増加、装置の増設なしにホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を顕著に抑制し、作業環境の向上を可能にした。 As described above, in a mold production method using a binder composition for mold production in which a water-soluble phenol resin is used as a binder and cured with an organic ester, ethylene urea is added to and dissolved in the curing agent. In addition, the generation of formaldehyde odor was remarkably suppressed and the working environment was improved. This is because ethylene urea is dissolved in the curing agent, so that it can be sufficiently uniformly mixed with the granular refractory aggregate and the water-soluble phenol resin. Further, unlike the case where the organic nitrogen compound is added to the water-soluble phenol resin as described above, the water-soluble phenol resin is not altered or thickened. In addition, ethylene urea is added to and dissolved in the curing agent to significantly reduce the generation of formaldehyde odors and improve the work environment without adding new operations, increasing the number of processes, or adding equipment to the conventional casting mold manufacturing method. Made possible.

硬化剤である有機エステルまたは有機エステル混合液へのエチレン尿素の溶解量が0.1重量%未満では、鋳型造型時に発生するホルムアルデヒド臭気の抑制効果が殆どなく、一方20重量%を超えると鋳物の品質が劣る等の問題が発生しやすくなる。 If the amount of ethylene urea dissolved in the organic ester or organic ester mixed liquid as the curing agent is less than 0.1% by weight, there is almost no effect of suppressing formaldehyde odor generated during mold molding, while if it exceeds 20% by weight, Problems such as inferior quality are likely to occur.

以下、本発明を実施例により詳細に説明するが、本発明は実施例に限定されるものではない。 EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention in detail, this invention is not limited to an Example.

粒状耐火性骨材としてフリマントル珪砂、有機エステル硬化型フェノール自硬性バインダーとして水溶性フェノール樹脂水溶液である保土谷アシュランド(株)製 Chem Rez 630、硬化剤として有機エステルであるγ−ブチロラクトンを用いた。γ−ブチロラクトン、エチレン尿素は市販の試薬特級を使用した。 Fremantle silica sand as granular refractory aggregate, ChemRez 630 manufactured by Hodogaya Ashland Co., Ltd., which is a water-soluble phenolic resin aqueous solution as organic ester curable phenol self-hardening binder, and γ-butyrolactone, an organic ester, is used as a curing agent. It was. For γ-butyrolactone and ethylene urea, commercially available reagent grades were used.

室温20℃で、フリマントル硅砂100部と、エチレン尿素を5重量%溶解した硬化剤であるγ−ブチロラクトン 0.4部を品川式ミキサー((株)ダルトン製 50M−r型ミキサー)で60秒混練後、主剤であるChem Rez 630を2部加えて30秒混練した。混合中、混合終了10分後に発生するホルムアルデヒド臭気を官能的に評価した。その結果、混合中、混合終了10分後もホルムアルデヒド臭気は殆どしなかった。 At room temperature of 20 ° C., 100 parts of Fremantle cinnabar and 0.4 parts of γ-butyrolactone, a curing agent in which 5% by weight of ethylene urea was dissolved, were used for 60 seconds with a Shinagawa mixer (50M-r type mixer manufactured by Dalton Co., Ltd.). After kneading, 2 parts of Chem Rez 630 as the main agent was added and kneaded for 30 seconds. During mixing, formaldehyde odor generated 10 minutes after the end of mixing was sensory evaluated.

室温20℃で、フリマントル硅砂100部と、硬化剤であるγ−ブチロラクトン 0.4部を品川式ミキサー((株)ダルトン製 50M−r型ミキサー)で60秒混練後、主剤であるChem Rez 630を2部加えて30秒混練した。混合中、混合終了10分後に発生するホルムアルデヒド臭気を官能的に評価した。その結果、混合中、混合終了10分後もホルムアルデヒド臭気が強く、目に刺激性が充分認められた。
[Comparative Example 1]
At room temperature of 20 ° C., 100 parts of Fremantle cinnabar and 0.4 part of γ-butyrolactone as a curing agent were kneaded with a Shinagawa mixer (50M-r mixer manufactured by Dalton Co., Ltd.) for 60 seconds, followed by Chem Rez as the main agent. Two parts of 630 were added and kneaded for 30 seconds. During mixing, the formaldehyde odor generated 10 minutes after the completion of mixing was sensory evaluated. As a result, during mixing, even after 10 minutes from the end of mixing, the formaldehyde odor was strong and irritation was sufficiently recognized in the eyes.

硬化剤であるγ−ブチロラクトンに有機窒素化合物であるエチレン尿素を溶解した実施例1と、γ−ブチロラクトンにエチレン尿素を溶解しなかった比較例1を比較することにより、γ−ブチロラクトンにエチレン尿素を溶解することにより、鋳型製造中、鋳型製造後もホルムアルデヒド臭気が殆どしないことがわかる。これは、硬化剤であるγ−ブチロラクトンにエチレン尿素を溶解することにより、鋳型製造時にホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を防ぎ、作業環境を著しく向上できることを示す。 By comparing Example 1 in which ethylene urea as an organic nitrogen compound was dissolved in γ-butyrolactone as a curing agent and Comparative Example 1 in which ethylene urea was not dissolved in γ-butyrolactone, ethylene urea was dissolved in γ-butyrolactone. By dissolving, it can be seen that there is almost no formaldehyde odor during and after mold production. This indicates that by dissolving ethylene urea in γ-butyrolactone, which is a curing agent, the generation of formaldehyde odor can be prevented during mold production and the working environment can be significantly improved.

従来から知られている、水溶性フェノール樹脂を含む粘結剤溶液を使用し、液状の有機エステル化合物で硬化させる自硬性型鋳型製造法とガス状又はエアロゾル状物質で常温硬化させるガス硬化型鋳型製造法は、鋳型製造時及び鋳造時にホルムアルデヒド臭気が発生するので、作業環境が悪いという問題があった。
本発明は、硬化剤である有機エステル化合物にエチレン尿素を添加、溶解することにより、ホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を顕著に抑制し、更に、硬化剤にエチレン尿素を添加、溶解することにより、従来の鋳造用鋳型製造法に新たな工程、作業量の増加なしに、ホルムアルデヒド臭気の発生を顕著に抑制し、作業環境の向上を可能にした。

Conventionally known self-hardening mold manufacturing method using a binder solution containing a water-soluble phenol resin and curing with a liquid organic ester compound, and a gas curing mold that cures at room temperature with a gaseous or aerosol-like substance The manufacturing method has a problem that the working environment is poor because a formaldehyde odor is generated during mold manufacturing and casting.
The present invention remarkably suppresses the generation of formaldehyde odor by adding and dissolving ethylene urea to the organic ester compound that is a curing agent, and further adding and dissolving ethylene urea to the curing agent, thereby converting the conventional casting. New process for manufacturing molds for industrial use, and without increasing the amount of work, the generation of formaldehyde odor was remarkably suppressed and the working environment was improved.
