Description

  Since the curing speed of the present invention is very slow, it is possible to ensure a very long working life, and the reactive silane compound is hardly volatilized when uncured. Furthermore, as a silicone-based sealing agent, adhesive, and coating agent It relates to useful room temperature curable organopolysiloxane compositions.

  Condensation-curable silicone sealants, adhesives, and coating compositions are used in many fields such as architecture, electrical / electronic equipment, transport equipment, electrical components, and home appliances. Usually, in the condensation-curable silicone-based sealing agent, adhesive, and coating agent composition used for these applications, an organosilicon compound having at least three hydrolyzable groups bonded to a silicon atom in one molecule as a crosslinking agent and / Or its partial hydrolysates are used. This essentially refers to a trifunctional hydrolyzable silane and / or a partial hydrolyzate thereof, specifically alkyltrimethoxysilane, alkyltributanoxysilane, alkyltriacetoxysilane, alkyltriisopropeno Xylsilanes and / or their partial hydrolysates. The reactivity of these reactive silanes is so high that they meet the requirement for fast curability, which is required in most of the above applications. On the other hand, in the waterproofing of roofs, waterproofing of roof coatings, underwater structure paints, ship bottom paints, wall paints, and other large-area structures, sealing, adhesion, alignment of adhesion objects after coating, surface correction, etc. On the contrary, a very long work pot life exceeding 24 hours may be required. However, it is very difficult to ensure such a long working life with a commonly used crosslinking agent.

  Silane monomer components and low molecular weight siloxane oligomers that volatilize when uncured from condensation-curing silicone sealants, adhesives, and coating compositions. This causes a bug. Traditionally, the main cause has been attributed to low molecular cyclic siloxanes contained in the base polymer. However, removing as much low molecular cyclic siloxane as possible from the base polymer often does not lead to a complete solution. Moreover, the volatile silane monomer component derived from a crosslinking agent also causes the above-mentioned problems.

  In order to obtain a condensation curable silicone sealant having a long pot life, deaminoxy type compositions have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 to 3), all of which emit a dialkylhydroxyamine odor during curing, The pot life was about 12 to 24 hours at most. In addition, it has been proposed to add a volatile organosiloxane to extend the pot life (Patent Documents 4 and 5). However, the volatile organosiloxane contaminates the surroundings and reduces the volume shrinkage after curing. There was a problem of bringing.

  Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to easily ensure a very long working life, can suppress the occurrence of problems due to the volatile silane monomer component derived from the cross-linking agent, shows a good hardness, Furthermore, it is providing the room temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition useful as a silicone type sealing agent, an adhesive agent, and a coating agent.

As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention are composed of a D unit (bifunctional unit) and a T unit (trifunctional unit), and the hydroxyl group is substituted with an alkoxy group and / or a phenoxy group. In addition, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by a room temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition containing a polysiloxane having a viscosity of 1 to 100 mPa · s at 25 ° C., and completed the present invention. That is, the present invention
(A) 100 parts by mass of diorganopolysiloxane in which both ends of the molecular chain are blocked with hydroxyl groups (B) The following general formula:
(R ¹ ₂ SiO) _l (R ¹ SiO _3/2 ) _m (O _1/2 R ² ) _n
Wherein R ¹ is the same or different monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 unsubstituted or substituted carbon atoms, and R ² is the same or different unsubstituted or substituted carbon atom having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. (It is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, and l, m, and n are numbers of 1 or more at which the viscosity of the component (B) at 25 ° C. is 1 to 100 mPa · s.)
1-100 mass parts of polysiloxane shown by (C) The room temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition characterized by containing 0.01-10 mass parts of curing catalysts.

  Since the room temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition of the present invention has a very low curing rate, it is possible to easily ensure a very long working life. In addition, since the composition hardly volatilizes the reactive silane compound when uncured, the occurrence of problems such as repelling of organic coating and short-circuiting of electrical contacts can be suppressed to a low level.

[Synthesis Example 1]
To a mixture of 491 g of methyltrichlorosilane and 2177 g of dimethyldichlorosilane in the flask, a mixture of 271 g of methanol and 306 g of water was added dropwise at −10 to 0 ° C. to carry out a dehydrochlorination reaction.

After the post-treatment, the activated carbon was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was stripped at 140 ° C. and 3.3 kPa (25 torr) for 10 hours. Filtration was performed again after stripping to obtain a colorless and transparent composite 1 having a viscosity of 17 mPa · s and a methoxy group content of 12.5%. The amount of methoxy group was measured by an alkali decomposition method.

[Example 3]
In Example 1, Composition 3 was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the amount of Compound 1 added was 7 parts by mass.

[Example 4]
In Example 1, Composition 4 was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the amount of Compound 1 added was 10 parts by mass.

[Example 5]
In Example 1, Composition 5 was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the amount of Compound 1 added was 30 parts by mass.

[Comparative Example 1]
In Example 1, Composition 6 was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 3 parts by mass of methyltrimethoxysilane was used instead of 3 parts by mass of Compound 13.

[Confirmation of curability]
The compositions of these examples and comparative examples were placed in a glass petri dish, and their curability was confirmed in an atmosphere of 23 ± 2 ° C. and 50 ± 5% RH. The results are shown in Table 1. In the table, “liquid” means that the composition is uncured, and “rubberization” means that the composition is cured. Specifically, “liquid” means that the surface of the composition flows toward the horizontal plane when the glass petri dish is tilted with respect to the horizontal plane, and “rubberization” means the surface of the composition in the same case. Represents that the shape was maintained without flowing. Further, the hardness (durometer type A) was measured for each “rubberized” composition. Further, 10 g of the uncured composition was taken in an aluminum petri dish and heated at 105 ° C. for 3 hours to confirm weight reduction. The results are shown in Table 1.

[Evaluation]
The compositions of the examples have a longer curing time than the compositions of the comparative examples, and can ensure a very long working life. Regarding the hardness, the compositions of Examples 1 to 3 showed slightly lower values than the composition of Comparative Example 1, but the compositions of Examples 4 and 5 showed higher values. The composition of any example gave a cured product with sufficient hardness. Moreover, it can be seen from the results of the weight loss by heating that the amount of the reactive silane compound volatilized when the composition of the example is uncured is smaller than that of the composition of the comparative example.
