Description

  The present invention relates to a curable composition. More specifically, in a curable composition containing a vinyl polymer (I) having an average of at least one crosslinkable silyl group and calcium carbonate (II), heavy calcium carbonate is contained as calcium carbonate (II). It relates to a curable composition.

  As the curable composition having a functional group, for example, a moisture curable liquid polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group and having a main chain of polysiloxane, polyoxypropylene, or polyisobutylene is already known. . However, there are points to be improved in the curable composition using these. Although the polysiloxane system is excellent in weather resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, flexibility, etc., it still has problems in contamination and paintability due to bleeding of low molecular components. The polyoxypropylene type is excellent in flexibility, paintability and stain resistance, but may not have sufficient weather resistance. Although polyisobutylene is characterized by weather resistance and moisture permeation resistance, it may be difficult to handle due to its relatively high viscosity.

  A polymer having an alkenyl group as a functional group is also used as the curable composition. It has been known to use a compound having a hydrosilyl group as a curing agent to give a cured product excellent in heat resistance, durability, and deep part curability. As such a main chain skeleton of a polymer having an alkenyl group, various skeletons are known. Polyether polymers such as polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide and polytetramethylene oxide, polybutadiene, polyisoprene, Examples thereof include hydrocarbon polymers such as chloroprene, polyisobutylene or hydrogenated products thereof, polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate and polycaprolactone, and silicone polymers such as polydimethylsiloxane.

  There are also points to be improved in the curable compositions using these polymers. For example, a polyether-based cured product may have insufficient heat resistance and weather resistance depending on the application. In hydrocarbon-based cured products such as polybutadiene and polyisoprene, heat resistance and weather resistance may be slightly insufficient depending on the use due to internal double bonds remaining in the main chain. A polyisobutylene-based cured product having no internal double bond has excellent weather resistance, but has a relatively high viscosity and may be difficult to handle. Polyester cured products may also have insufficient weather resistance depending on the application. Silicone-based cured products are excellent in terms of weather resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, and workability, but still have problems in paint adhesion and contamination.

  On the other hand, various types of vinyl polymers having functional groups are also known. For example, a method for synthesizing a (meth) acrylic polymer having an alkenyl group at the end using an alkenyl group-containing disulfide as a chain transfer agent (see Patent Document 1) or a disulfide having a hydroxyl group, A method of obtaining a (meth) acrylic polymer having an alkenyl group at the terminal by synthesizing a vinyl polymer having a group and utilizing the reactivity of the hydroxyl group (see Patent Document 2); A method of obtaining a (meth) acrylic polymer having a silyl group at the terminal by utilizing the reactivity of the hydroxyl group by synthesizing a vinyl polymer having hydroxyl groups at both ends using the polysulfide having Reference 3) has already been disclosed.

  On the other hand, an acrylic rubber polymer into which an active chlorine group or an epoxy group has been used has conventionally been used for an acrylic rubber composition for molding, and a molded product having good heat resistance and oil resistance has been obtained. In order to cope with the need to improve heat resistance, a technique for introducing a vinyl group-containing organosilicon group has been proposed (see Patent Document 4).

  A curable composition containing a polymer having an alkenyl group or a crosslinkable silyl group in the side chain obtained by these methods is used for highly weather-resistant paints and the like.

  However, although these methods can easily produce a polymer, it is difficult to reliably introduce silicon groups at both ends of the polymer, and the cured product has insufficient rubber properties such as elongation. Thus, a curable composition having satisfactory characteristics could not be obtained. In order to reliably introduce functional groups at both ends, a large amount of chain transfer agent had to be used, which was a problem in the production process. In these methods, since ordinary radical polymerization is used, it is difficult to control the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution (ratio of weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight) of the obtained polymer.

  If a vinyl polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group at the end of the molecular chain can be obtained by a simple method, a cured product having excellent cured product properties can be obtained as compared with those having a crosslinkable group in the side chain. . Therefore, many researchers have studied the production method so far, but it is not easy to produce them industrially.

  Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a method for producing a (meth) acrylic polymer having a functional group at the terminal has been developed. In particular, polymers synthesized using living radical polymerization can arbitrarily control the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, and can quantitatively introduce functional groups at the ends. As a result, weather resistance, heat resistance, oil resistance It can be used for a curable composition having excellent mechanical properties that cannot be obtained with the above-mentioned polyether polymer, hydrocarbon polymer, or polyester polymer (see Patent Document 5).

  However, a vinyl polymer having at least one crosslinkable silyl group and having a main chain produced by a living radical polymerization method may not be obtained as much as expected with good heat resistance, oil resistance, and weather resistance. there were. In particular, a blend to which a calcium carbonate filler is added may be inferior to a blend to which a silica or carbon black filler is added (see Patent Document 6).

In addition, there is a technique disclosed as a gasket for on-site molding using a vinyl-based polymer, but here, a technique using heavy calcium carbonate for improving heat resistance is not disclosed, and further a glue used. Calcium carbonate is 100 parts or more (see Patent Document 7).

<< About the vinyl polymer (I) >>
<Main chain>
The inventors of the present invention have made numerous inventions with respect to vinyl polymers having various crosslinkable functional groups at the end of the polymer, methods for producing the same, curable compositions, and uses (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 11-). 080249, JP-A-11-080250, JP-A-11-005815, JP-A-11-116617, JP-A-11-116606, JP-A-11-080571, JP-A-11-080570, JP-A-11-130931, JP-A-11-100033, JP-A-11-116763, JP-A-9-272714, JP-A-9-272715, etc.). Although it does not specifically limit as vinyl-type polymer (I) of this invention, All the polymers disclosed by the invention illustrated above can be used suitably.

It does not specifically limit as a vinyl-type monomer which comprises the principal chain of the vinyl-type polymer of this invention, Various things can be used. To illustrate,
(Meth) acrylic acid, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, (meth) acrylic acid-n-propyl, (meth) acrylic acid isopropyl, (meth) acrylic acid-n-butyl, (meth) Isobutyl acrylate, (meth) acrylic acid-tert-butyl, (meth) acrylic acid-n-pentyl, (meth) acrylic acid-n-hexyl, (meth) acrylic acid cyclohexyl, (meth) acrylic acid-n-heptyl , (Meth) acrylic acid-n-octyl, (meth) acrylic acid-2-ethylhexyl, (meth) acrylic acid nonyl, (meth) acrylic acid isononyl, (meth) acrylic acid decyl, (meth) acrylic acid dodecyl, ( (Meth) acrylic acid phenyl, (meth) acrylic acid tolyl, (meth) acrylic acid benzyl, (meth) acrylic acid-2-methyl Xylethyl, (meth) acrylate-3-methoxybutyl, (meth) acrylate-2-hydroxyethyl, (meth) acrylate-2-hydroxypropyl, stearyl (meth) acrylate, glycidyl (meth) acrylate, ( (Meth) acrylic acid 2-aminoethyl, γ- (methacryloyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane, (meth) acrylic acid ethylene oxide adduct, (meth) acrylic acid trifluoromethyl methyl, (meth) acrylic acid 2-trifluoro Methyl ethyl, perfluoroethyl methyl (meth) acrylate, 2-perfluoroethyl ethyl (meth) acrylate, perfluoroethyl perfluorobutyl methyl (meth) acrylate, 2-perfluoroethyl-2 (meth) acrylate -Perfluorobutylethyl, (meth) aqua Perfluoroethyl laurate, perfluoromethyl (meth) acrylate, diperfluoromethyl methyl (meth) acrylate, 2,2-diperfluoromethyl ethyl (meth) acrylate, perfluoromethyl per (meth) acrylate Fluoroethylmethyl, 2-perfluoromethyl-2-perfluoroethylethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-perfluorohexylmethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-perfluorohexylethyl (meth) acrylate, (meth) acrylic (Meth) such as 2-perfluorodecylmethyl acid, 2-perfluorodecylethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-perfluorohexadecylmethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-perfluorohexadecylethyl (meth) acrylate Acrylic monomers; styrene, vinyl toluene, α-methyl Aromatic vinyl monomers such as styrene, chlorostyrene, styrene sulfonic acid, and salts thereof; fluorine-containing vinyl monomers such as perfluoroethylene, perfluoropropylene, and vinylidene fluoride; silicon such as vinyltrimethoxysilane and vinyltriethoxysilane Containing vinyl monomers; maleic anhydride, maleic acid, monoalkyl and dialkyl esters of maleic acid; fumaric acid, monoalkyl and dialkyl esters of fumaric acid; maleimide, methylmaleimide, ethylmaleimide, propylmaleimide, butylmaleimide, hexyl Maleimide monomers such as maleimide, octylmaleimide, dodecylmaleimide, stearylmaleimide, phenylmaleimide, cyclohexylmaleimide; acrylonitrile, meta Acrylonitrile monomers such as acrylonitrile; Amide group-containing vinyl monomers such as acrylamide and methacrylamide; Vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl pivalate, vinyl benzoate, vinyl cinnamate; Ethylene, propylene, etc. Alkenes; conjugated dienes such as butadiene and isoprene; vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, allyl chloride, allyl alcohol and the like. These may be used alone or a plurality of these may be copolymerized.

  The main chain of the vinyl polymer is mainly polymerized with at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of (meth) acrylic monomers, acrylonitrile monomers, aromatic vinyl monomers, fluorine-containing vinyl monomers, and silicon-containing vinyl monomers. It is preferable that it is manufactured. Here, “mainly” means that 30 mol% or more, preferably 50 mol% or more of the monomer units constituting the vinyl polymer are the above monomers.

  Of these, a styrene monomer and a (meth) acrylic acid monomer are preferable from the physical properties of the product. More preferred are acrylic ester monomers and methacrylic ester monomers, and particularly preferred are acrylic ester monomers. For general architectural use and the like, a butyl acrylate monomer is more preferable from the viewpoint that physical properties such as low viscosity of the blend, low modulus of the cured product, high elongation, weather resistance, and heat resistance are required. On the other hand, in applications that require oil resistance, such as automobile applications, copolymers based on ethyl acrylate are more preferred. This polymer mainly composed of ethyl acrylate is excellent in oil resistance but tends to be slightly inferior in low temperature characteristics (cold resistance). Therefore, in order to improve the low temperature characteristics, a part of ethyl acrylate is converted into butyl acrylate. It is also possible to replace it. However, as the ratio of butyl acrylate is increased, the good oil resistance is impaired, so that the ratio is preferably 80 mol% or less depending on the application for which oil resistance is required, and 60 mol% or less. More preferably, it is 40 mol% or less, more preferably 30 mol% or less. It is also preferable to use 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl acrylate, or the like in which oxygen is introduced into the side chain alkyl group in order to improve low-temperature characteristics and the like without impairing oil resistance. However, since heat resistance tends to be inferior due to the introduction of an alkoxy group having an ether bond in the side chain, when heat resistance is required, the ratio is preferably 60 mol% or less, and 40% or less. Is more preferable. In accordance with various uses and required purposes, it is possible to obtain suitable polymers by changing the ratio in consideration of required physical properties such as oil resistance, heat resistance and low temperature characteristics. For example, although not limited, examples of excellent physical property balance such as oil resistance, heat resistance, and low-temperature characteristics include ethyl acrylate / butyl acrylate / 2-methoxyethyl acrylate (molar ratio of 40-50 / 20- 30 / 20-30).

In addition, in the case of adding an epoxy resin to the vinyl polymer of the present invention, in order to obtain a transparent cured product when the curable composition is cured, the vinyl polymer is an epoxy. Those that are compatible with the resin are preferred, and polymers or copolymers having a higher polarity than the butyl acrylate homopolymer are preferred, and the main chain of the vinyl polymer is represented by the general formula (1). A polymer or copolymer having a unit structure is more preferable.
_{- [CH 2 -CR (COOR '} )] - (1)
(In the formula, R is hydrogen or a methyl group, and R ′ is the same or different and is an alkoxyalkyl group or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.)
The polymer or copolymer having a higher polarity than the butyl acrylate homopolymer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a copolymer of butyl acrylate and a monomer having a higher polarity than butyl acrylate. Here, examples of the monomer having higher polarity than butyl acrylate include ethyl acrylate and 2-methoxyethyl acrylate. For example, a copolymer of ethyl acrylate / butyl acrylate / acrylic acid 2-methoxyethyl (molar ratio 40-50 / 20-30 / 20-30) is easily compatible with various epoxy resins, and is a transparent cured product. Since it is easy to obtain, it is suitable.

  Copolymerizes monomers with long-chain alkyl groups such as stearyl groups and lauryl groups to improve compatibility with other polymers, such as modified silicone resins (oxyalkylene polymers having crosslinkable silyl groups) You may let them. Although there is no particular limitation, for example, 5-30 mol% of stearyl acrylate or lauryl acrylate is copolymerized so that the compatibility with the modified silicone resin becomes very good. Since the compatibility varies depending on the molecular weight of each polymer, it is preferable to select the proportion of the monomer to be copolymerized accordingly. In this case, block copolymerization may be performed. The effect may be manifested in a small amount.

  The curable composition containing a vinyl polymer having a functional silyl group may have a slow curability upon storage, that is, a poor storage stability. For example, it may be possible to suppress such a decrease by copolymerizing methyl acrylate. Moreover, you may use when you want to improve the intensity | strength of hardened | cured material. Also in this case, the ratio of monomers to be copolymerized may be selected according to the molecular weight and / or may be block copolymerized.

  In the present invention, these preferred monomers may be copolymerized with other monomers, and further block copolymerized, and in that case, these preferred monomers are preferably contained in a weight ratio of 40% or more. . In the above expression format, for example, (meth) acrylic acid represents acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid.

  The molecular weight distribution of the vinyl polymer of the present invention, that is, the ratio (Mw / Mn) of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) and the number average molecular weight (Mn) measured by gel permeation chromatography is not particularly limited. A molecular weight distribution of less than 1.8, particularly 1.3 or less is preferable from the viewpoint of workability. In the GPC measurement in the present invention, chloroform is usually used as the mobile phase, the measurement is performed with a polystyrene gel column, and the number average molecular weight and the like can be determined in terms of polystyrene.

The number average molecular weight of the vinyl polymer in the present invention is not particularly limited. In addition, when measured by gel permeation chromatography, 500 to 1,000,000, particularly 5,000 to 50,000 are preferable from the viewpoint of workability and physical properties. Of course, the smaller the molecular weight, the easier it is to be compatible with other resins (various polymers), and the resulting cured product tends to have a high modulus and low elongation. Conversely, if the molecular weight is large, the opposite is true. Show a trend.
<Method of synthesizing the main chain>
The method for synthesizing the vinyl polymer in the present invention is not limited, and free radical polymerization may be used. However, controlled radical polymerization is preferable, living radical polymerization is more preferable, and atom transfer radical polymerization is particularly preferable. These will be described below.
Controlled radical polymerization The radical polymerization method is a “general radical polymerization method” in which a monomer having a specific functional group and a vinyl monomer are simply copolymerized using an azo compound or a peroxide as a polymerization initiator. Can be classified into “controlled radical polymerization methods” in which a specific functional group can be introduced at a controlled position such as a terminal.

  The “general radical polymerization method” is a simple method. However, in this method, a monomer having a specific functional group is introduced into the polymer only in a probabilistic manner, so an attempt is made to obtain a polymer having a high functionalization rate. In such a case, it is necessary to use this monomer in a considerably large amount. On the contrary, if the monomer is used in a small amount, there is a problem that the proportion of the polymer in which this specific functional group is not introduced becomes large. Further, since it is free radical polymerization, there is a problem that only a polymer having a wide molecular weight distribution and a high viscosity can be obtained.

  The “controlled radical polymerization method” further includes a “chain transfer agent method” in which a vinyl polymer having a functional group at a terminal is obtained by polymerization using a chain transfer agent having a specific functional group, It can be classified as “living radical polymerization method” in which a polymer having a molecular weight almost as designed can be obtained by growing the terminal without causing a termination reaction or the like.

  In the “chain transfer agent method”, a polymer having a high functionalization rate can be obtained, but a chain transfer agent having a considerably large amount of a specific functional group with respect to the initiator is required. There is an economic problem. Further, like the above-mentioned “general radical polymerization method”, there is also a problem that only a polymer having a wide molecular weight distribution and a high viscosity can be obtained because of free radical polymerization.

  Unlike these polymerization methods, the “living radical polymerization method” is a radical polymerization that is difficult to control because the polymerization rate is high and a termination reaction due to coupling between radicals is likely to occur. It is difficult to obtain a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn is about 1.1 to 1.5), and the molecular weight can be freely controlled by the charging ratio of the monomer and the initiator.

  Accordingly, the “living radical polymerization method” can obtain a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution and a low viscosity, and a monomer having a specific functional group can be introduced at almost any position of the polymer. The method for producing the vinyl polymer having the specific functional group is more preferable.

  In the narrow sense, living polymerization refers to polymerization in which the terminal always has activity and the molecular chain grows. It also includes pseudo-living polymerization that grows in an equilibrium state. The definition in the present invention is also the latter.

  The “living radical polymerization method” has been actively researched by various groups in recent years. Examples thereof include those using a cobalt porphyrin complex as shown in, for example, Journal of American Chemical Society (J. Am. Chem. Soc.), 1994, 116, 7943, Macromolecules. (Macromolecules), 1994, Vol. 27, p. 7228, using a radical capping agent such as a nitroxide compound, “atom transfer radical polymerization” using an organic halide as an initiator and a transition metal complex as a catalyst ( Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP).

  Among the “living radical polymerization methods”, the “atom transfer radical polymerization method” for polymerizing vinyl monomers using an organic halide or a sulfonyl halide compound as an initiator and a transition metal complex as a catalyst is the above “living radical polymerization method”. In addition to the features of ”, it has a halogen, which is relatively advantageous for functional group conversion reaction, at the end, and has a high degree of freedom in designing initiators and catalysts, so the production of vinyl polymers having specific functional groups More preferable as a method. As this atom transfer radical polymerization method, for example, Matyjazewski et al., Journal of American Chemical Society (J. Am. Chem. Soc.) 1995, 117, 5614, Macromolecules (1995), 28, 7901, Science 1996, 272, 866, WO96 / 30421, WO97 / 18247, WO98 / 01480, WO98 / 40415, or Sawamoto et al., Macromolecules. Macromolecules 1995, 28, 1721, JP-A-9-208616, JP-A-8-41117, and the like.

  In the present invention, there is no particular restriction as to which of these living radical polymerization methods is used, but an atom transfer radical polymerization method is preferred.

  The living radical polymerization will be described in detail below, but before that, one of the controlled radical polymerizations that can be used for the production of vinyl polymers described later, the polymerization using a chain transfer agent will be described. To do. Although it does not specifically limit as radical polymerization using a chain transfer agent (telomer), The following two methods are illustrated as a method of obtaining the vinyl polymer which has the terminal structure suitable for this invention.

  JP-A-4-132706 discloses a method for obtaining a halogen-terminated polymer by using a halogenated hydrocarbon as a chain transfer agent, JP-A-61-271306, JP-A-2594402, This is a method for obtaining a hydroxyl-terminated polymer by using a hydroxyl group-containing mercaptan or a hydroxyl group-containing polysulfide as a chain transfer agent as disclosed in JP-A-54-47782.

  Below, living radical polymerization is demonstrated.

  First, a method using a radical capping agent such as a nitroxide compound will be described. In this polymerization, a stable nitroxy free radical (= N—O.) Is generally used as a radical capping agent. Examples of such compounds include, but are not limited to, 2,2,6,6-substituted-1-piperidinyloxy radical, 2,2,5,5-substituted-1-pyrrolidinyloxy radical, and the like. Nitroxy free radicals from cyclic hydroxyamines are preferred. As the substituent, an alkyl group having 4 or less carbon atoms such as a methyl group or an ethyl group is suitable. Specific nitroxy free radical compounds include, but are not limited to, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy radical (TEMPO), 2,2,6,6-tetraethyl-1- Piperidinyloxy radical, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-1-piperidinyloxy radical, 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxy radical, 1, Examples include 1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-isoindolinyloxy radical, N, N-di-t-butylamineoxy radical, and the like. Instead of the nitroxy free radical, a stable free radical such as a galvinoxyl free radical may be used.

  The radical capping agent is used in combination with a radical generator. It is considered that the reaction product of the radical capping agent and the radical generator serves as a polymerization initiator and the polymerization of the addition polymerizable monomer proceeds. The combination ratio of both is not particularly limited, but 0.1 to 10 mol of the radical generator is suitable for 1 mol of the radical capping agent.

  Although various compounds can be used as the radical generator, a peroxide capable of generating a radical under polymerization temperature conditions is preferred. Examples of the peroxide include, but are not limited to, diacyl peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide and lauroyl peroxide, dialkyl peroxides such as dicumyl peroxide and di-t-butyl peroxide, diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, bis There are peroxycarbonates such as (4-t-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate, alkyl peresters such as t-butylperoxyoctate and t-butylperoxybenzoate. Benzoyl peroxide is particularly preferable. Furthermore, radical generators such as radical-generating azo compounds such as azobisisobutyronitrile may be used instead of peroxide.

  Macromolecules 1995, 28, P.M. As reported in 2993, instead of using a radical capping agent and a radical generator in combination, an alkoxyamine compound as shown below may be used as an initiator.

アルコキシアミン化合物を開始剤として用いる場合、それが上図で示されているような水酸基等の官能基を有するものを用いると、末端に官能基を有する重合体が得られる。これを本発明の方法に利用すると、末端に官能基を有する重合体が得られる。

When an alkoxyamine compound is used as an initiator, if it has a functional group such as a hydroxyl group as shown in the above figure, a polymer having a functional group at the terminal can be obtained. When this is used in the method of the present invention, a polymer having a functional group at the terminal can be obtained.

Polymerization conditions such as a monomer, a solvent, a polymerization temperature and the like used in polymerization using a radical capping agent such as the above nitroxide compound are not limited, but may be the same as those used for atom transfer radical polymerization described below.
Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Next, a more preferred atom transfer radical polymerization method as the living radical polymerization of the present invention will be described.

In this atom transfer radical polymerization, an organic halide, particularly an organic halide having a highly reactive carbon-halogen bond (for example, a carbonyl compound having a halogen at the α-position or a compound having a halogen at the benzyl-position), or a halogenated compound. A sulfonyl compound or the like is used as an initiator.
For example,
_{C 6 H 5 -CH 2 X,} C 6 H 5 -C (H) (X) CH 3, C 6 H 5 -C (X) (CH 3) 2
(However, in the above chemical formula, C ₆ H ₅ is a phenyl group, X is chlorine, bromine, or iodine)
^{R 3 -C (H) (X} ) -CO 2 R 4, R 3 -C (CH 3) (X) -CO 2 R 4, R 3 -C (H) (X) -C (O) R 4 _{^{, R 3 -C (CH 3)}} (X) -C (O) R 4,
(Wherein R ³ and R ⁴ are a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group, and X is chlorine, bromine, or iodine)
R ³ —C ₆ H ₄ —SO ₂ X
(Wherein R ³ is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group, and X is chlorine, bromine, or iodine)
Etc.

  As an initiator of atom transfer radical polymerization, an organic halide or a sulfonyl halide compound having a functional group other than the functional group for initiating polymerization can also be used.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a vinyl-type monomer used in this superposition | polymerization, All already illustrated can be used suitably.

Although it does not specifically limit as a transition metal complex used as a polymerization catalyst, Preferably it is a metal complex which uses a periodic table group 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 element as a central metal. More preferable examples include a complex of zero-valent copper, monovalent copper, divalent ruthenium, divalent iron, or divalent nickel. Of these, a copper complex is preferable. Specific examples of monovalent copper compounds include cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide, cuprous iodide, cuprous cyanide, cuprous oxide, cuprous perchlorate, etc. is there. When a copper compound is used, 2,2′-bipyridyl and its derivatives, 1,10-phenanthroline and its derivatives, tetramethylethylenediamine, pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, hexamethyltris (2-aminoethyl) amine, etc. in order to increase the catalytic activity A ligand such as a polyamine is added. A preferred ligand is a nitrogen-containing compound, a more preferred ligand is a chelate-type nitrogen-containing compound, and a more preferred ligand is N, N, N ′, N ″, N ″ -pentamethyldiethylenetriamine. It is. A tristriphenylphosphine complex of divalent ruthenium chloride (RuCl ₂ (PPh ₃ ) ₃ ) is also suitable as a catalyst. When a ruthenium compound is used as a catalyst, an aluminum alkoxide is added as an activator. Further, a divalent iron bistriphenylphosphine complex (FeCl ₂ (PPh ₃ ) ₂ ), a divalent nickel bistriphenylphosphine complex (NiCl ₂ (PPh ₃ ) ₂ ), and a divalent nickel bistributylphosphine A complex (NiBr ₂ (PBu ₃ ) ₂ ) is also suitable as a catalyst.

  The polymerization can be carried out without solvent or in various solvents. Solvent types include hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene and toluene, ether solvents such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene chloride and chloroform, and ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone. Solvents, alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, n-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, nitrile solvents such as acetonitrile, propionitrile, benzonitrile, ester solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, Examples thereof include carbonate solvents such as ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate, and these can be used alone or in admixture of two or more.

  Moreover, although not limited, superposition | polymerization can be performed in the range of 0 to 200 degreeC, Preferably it is 50 to 150 degreeC.

The atom transfer radical polymerization of the present invention includes so-called reverse atom transfer radical polymerization. Reverse atom transfer radical polymerization is a high oxidation state when a normal atom transfer radical polymerization catalyst generates radicals, for example, peroxidation with respect to Cu (II ′) when Cu (I) is used as a catalyst. In this method, a general radical initiator such as a compound is allowed to act, and as a result, an equilibrium state similar to that of atom transfer radical polymerization is produced (see Macromolecules 1999, 32, 2872).
<Functional group>
Number of crosslinkable silyl groups The number of crosslinkable silyl groups in the vinyl polymer is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the curability of the composition and the physical properties of the cured product, it should have an average of 1 or more in the molecule. More preferably, it is 1.1 or more and 4.0 or less, More preferably, it is 1.2 or more and 3.5 or less.
Position of the crosslinkable silyl group When a rubber-like property is particularly required for a cured product obtained by curing the curable composition of the present invention, the molecular weight between crosslinking points that greatly affects rubber elasticity can be taken. At least one of the crosslinkable functional groups is preferably at the end of the molecular chain. More preferably, it has all crosslinkable functional groups at the molecular chain ends.

  A method for producing a vinyl polymer having at least one crosslinkable silyl group at the molecular chain end, in particular, a (meth) acrylic polymer is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-14068, Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-55444, This is disclosed in, for example, Kaihei 6-221922. However, since these methods are free radical polymerization methods using the above-mentioned “chain transfer agent method”, the resulting polymer has a relatively high proportion of crosslinkable silyl groups at the molecular chain ends, while Mw / Mn The value of the molecular weight distribution represented by is generally as large as 2 or more, and the viscosity is increased. Therefore, in order to obtain a vinyl polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution and a low viscosity and having a crosslinkable silyl group at the molecular chain terminal at a high ratio, the above “living radical polymerization method” is used. However, it is not limited to a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution.

These functional groups will be described below.
The crosslinking silyl group of the crosslinkable silyl group present invention, the general formula (1);
_{^{- [Si (R 1) 2}} -b (Y) b O] m -Si (R 2) 3-a (Y) a (1)
{In the formula, R ¹ and R ² are all alkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, aryl groups having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, aralkyl groups having 7 to 20 carbon atoms, or (R ′) ₃ SiO— (R 'Is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and three R's may be the same or different, and represents a triorganosiloxy group represented by R ¹ or When two or more R ² are present, they may be the same or different. Y represents a hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable group, and when two or more Y exist, they may be the same or different. a represents 0, 1, 2, or 3, and b represents 0, 1, or 2. m is an integer of 0-19. However, it shall be satisfied that a + mb ≧ 1. }
The group represented by these is mention | raise | lifted.

  Examples of the hydrolyzable group include commonly used groups such as a hydrogen atom, an alkoxy group, an acyloxy group, a ketoximate group, an amino group, an amide group, an aminooxy group, a mercapto group, and an alkenyloxy group. Among these, an alkoxy group, an amide group, and an aminooxy group are preferable, but an alkoxy group is particularly preferable in terms of mild hydrolyzability and easy handling. Among the alkoxy groups, those having fewer carbon atoms have higher reactivity, and the reactivity decreases in the order of methoxy group> ethoxy group> propoxy group, and can be selected according to the purpose and application.

A hydrolyzable group or a hydroxyl group can be bonded to one silicon atom in the range of 1 to 3, and (a + Σb) is preferably in the range of 1 to 5. When two or more hydrolyzable groups or hydroxyl groups are bonded to the crosslinkable silyl group, they may be the same or different. The number of silicon atoms forming the crosslinkable silyl group is one or more, but in the case of silicon atoms linked by a siloxane bond or the like, it is preferably 20 or less. In particular, the general formula (6)
-Si (R ² ) _3-a (Y) _a (6)
A crosslinkable silyl group represented by the formula (wherein R ² and Y are the same as described above, and a is an integer of 1 to 3) is preferable because it is easily available.

  Although not particularly limited, a is preferably 2 or more in consideration of curability.

  As such a vinyl polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group, a polymer having a hydrolyzable silicon group formed by bonding two hydrolyzable groups per silicon atom is often used. When a very fast curing rate is required, such as when used at low temperatures, etc., the curing rate is not sufficient, and if it is desired to provide flexibility after curing, it is necessary to reduce the crosslinking density. For this reason, the crosslink density is not sufficient, and stickiness (surface tack) may occur. In that case, it is preferable that a is 3 (for example, trimethoxy functional group).

<< About calcium carbonate (II) >>
The curable composition of the present invention contains calcium (II) carbonate.

  In the present invention, heavy calcium carbonate and colloidal calcium carbonate are used as calcium carbonate (II).

As heavy calcium carbonate and colloidal calcium carbonate in the present invention, those generally used can be used. Specifically, natural chalk (chalk), marble, limestone, etc. mechanically pulverized and processed can be used as heavy calcium carbonate. There are dry and wet methods for the pulverization method, but wet pulverized products are often not preferred because they often deteriorate the storage stability of the curable composition of the present invention. Heavy calcium carbonate becomes a product having various average particle diameters by classification. Although not particularly limited, when the effect of improving the breaking strength, elongation at break, adhesion and weather resistance of the cured product is expected, the specific surface area value is 1.5 m ² / g or more and 50 m ² / g or less. , more preferably from 2m ² / g or more 50 m ² / g or less, more preferably 2.4 m ² / g or more ^{50m 2 / g, 3m 2 /} g or more 50 m ² / g or less is particularly preferred. When the specific surface area is less than 1.5 m ² / g, the improvement effect may not be sufficient. Of course, this is not the case when the viscosity is simply lowered, the cost of blending is reduced, or the purpose is to increase only the amount.

  The value of the specific surface area as used herein refers to a value measured by an air permeation method according to JIS K 5101 (a method for obtaining a specific surface area from air permeability to a powder packed bed). As a measuring instrument, a specific surface area measuring instrument SS-100 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation can be used.

  In the present invention, when heavy calcium carbonate and colloidal calcium carbonate are used, the amount added is 50 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the vinyl polymer (I) having a crosslinkable silyl group. If the content of colloidal calcium carbonate is more than 50 parts by weight, the effect of improving the heat resistance of the cured product tends to be insufficient. In the present invention, colloidal calcium carbonate is an optional component.

In the present invention, from the viewpoint of improving the heat resistance of the cured product, the content of colloidal calcium carbonate is preferably suppressed to a very small amount, and it is preferable to use only heavy calcium carbonate. In addition, from the viewpoint of improving effects such as breaking strength, breaking elongation, adhesion and weather resistance of the cured product, it is preferable to use heavy calcium carbonate and a small amount of colloidal calcium carbonate. For example, when heavy calcium carbonate and colloidal calcium carbonate with a specific surface area of 1.5 m ² / g or more are combined, the increase in the viscosity of the compound is moderately suppressed, and the breaking strength, breaking elongation and adhesiveness of the cured product are suppressed. And the improvement effect of weather resistance can be greatly expected. In addition, when the effect of improving the breaking strength, breaking elongation, adhesiveness and weatherability adhesion of the cured product and the thixotropy improvement effect of the composition is also expected, heavy calcium carbonate and a small amount of colloidal calcium carbonate are effective for the present invention. It is preferable to use a thixotropic agent that does not affect the thixotropic agent.

  In general, when the specific surface area of calcium carbonate is small, the effect of improving the breaking strength, breaking elongation, adhesion and weather resistance of the cured product may not be sufficient. The larger the specific surface area value, the greater the effect of improving the strength at break, elongation at break, adhesion and weather resistance of the cured product. As the shape of calcium carbonate, various shapes such as a cubic non-cubic shape and an irregular shape can be used.

  Furthermore, although calcium carbonate is not particularly limited, it may be more preferable that surface treatment is performed using a surface treatment agent from the viewpoint of improving the mechanical properties of the cured product. When the surface-treated calcium carbonate is used, the workability of the composition of the present invention is improved as compared with the case where calcium carbonate that is not surface-treated is used, and the adhesiveness and weather resistance of the curable composition are improved. The improvement effect is considered to be further improved. As the surface treatment agent, organic substances such as fatty acids, fatty acid soaps and fatty acid esters, various surfactants, and various coupling agents such as silane coupling agents and titanate coupling agents are used. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, fatty acids such as caproic acid, caprylic acid, pelargonic acid, capric acid, undecanoic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid, oleic acid, etc. And salts of these fatty acids such as sodium and potassium, and alkyl esters of these fatty acids. Specific examples of the surfactants include polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfates and long chain alcohol sulfates, sulfate anion surfactants such as sodium salts and potassium salts thereof, alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, and alkylnaphthalenes. Examples thereof include sulfonic acid, paraffin sulfonic acid, α-olefin sulfonic acid, alkylsulfosuccinic acid and the like, and sulfonic acid type anionic surfactants such as sodium salt and potassium salt thereof. The treatment amount of the surface treatment agent is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 20% by weight and more preferably in the range of 1 to 5% by weight with respect to calcium carbonate. When the treatment amount is less than 0.1% by weight, the workability, adhesiveness and weatherability may not be sufficiently improved. When the treatment amount exceeds 20% by weight, the storage stability of the curable composition may be reduced. May decrease.

The addition amount of calcium carbonate (II) is preferably 5 to 1,000 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 500 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. It is more preferable to use in the range of 40 to 300 parts by weight. When the blending amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of improving the breaking strength, breaking elongation, adhesion and weather resistance of the cured product may not be sufficient, and when it exceeds 1,000 parts by weight, the curable composition Workability may be reduced. The compounding quantity of calcium carbonate (II) here shall mean the compounding quantity of the whole heavy calcium carbonate and colloidal calcium carbonate.
<< Aminosilane compound (III) >>
The aminosilane-based compound (III) of the present invention is a silane coupling agent having an amino group, and can impart the adhesiveness of the curable composition of the present invention. By changing the width or the like, it is possible to further reduce the risk that the sealing material is peeled off from the adherend such as a siding board. Further, in some cases, it is not necessary to use a primer used for improving adhesion, and simplification of construction work is expected. Specific examples of aminosilane compounds include γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriisopropoxysilane, γ-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, and γ-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane. , Γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropyltriethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) ) Aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropyltriisopropoxysilane, γ-ureidopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-phenyl-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-benzyl-γ-amino Propyltri Tokishishiran, and the like amino group-containing silanes such as N- vinylbenzyl -γ- aminopropyltriethoxysilane. In addition, a reaction product of the amino group-containing silane and the epoxy group-containing silane, a reaction product of an amino group-containing silane and an acroyloxy group-containing silane, an amino group-containing silane and an isocyanate group-containing silane The reaction product may be used. Further, amino-modified silyl polymers, silylated amino polymers, unsaturated aminosilane complexes, phenylamino long-chain alkylsilanes, aminosilylated silicones, and the like, which are derivatives of these, may be used. Further, it may be a ketimine compound obtained by reacting the amino group-containing silane with a ketone compound such as methyl isobutyl ketone.

  The aminosilane compound used in the present invention is usually used in the range of 0.1 to 20 parts with respect to 100 parts of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. In particular, it is preferably used in the range of 0.5 to 10 parts. The effect of the aminosilane compound added to the curable composition of the present invention is that various adherends, that is, inorganic substrates such as glass, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc, copper, mortar, vinyl chloride, acrylic, polyester, polyethylene, etc. When used on an organic substrate such as polypropylene or polycarbonate, it exhibits a remarkable effect of improving adhesion under non-primer conditions or primer treatment conditions. When used under non-primer conditions, the effect of improving the adhesion to various adherends is particularly remarkable. Moreover, if the usage-amount is about 1 part with respect to 100 parts of polymers which have a crosslinkable silyl group, it will hardly affect transparency of hardened | cured material.

  The aminosilane compound may be used alone or in combination of two or more. By adding these aminosilane compounds, the adhesion to the adherend can be improved.

The type and amount of aminosilane compound can be selected according to the type of Y and the number of a in the vinyl polymer of the present invention. It is possible to control. In particular, care must be taken when selecting because it affects curability and elongation.
<< Curing catalyst (IV) of vinyl polymer (I) >>

As the organic acidic phosphoric acid ester compound of the acidic catalyst, (CH ₃ O) ₂ —P (═O) (— OH), (CH ₃ O) —P (═O) (— OH) ₂ , (C ₂ H) _{5 O) 2 -P (= O} ) (- OH), (C 2 H 5 O) -P (= O) (- OH) 2, (C 3 H 7 O) 2 -P (= O) (- _{OH), (C 3 H 7} O) -P (= O) (- OH) 2, (C 4 H 9 O) 2 -P (= O) (- OH), (C 4 H 9 O) -P (= O) (- OH) 2, (C 8 H 17 O) 2 -P (= O) (- OH), (C 8 H 17 O) -P (= O) (- OH) 2, (C _{10 H 21 O) 2 -P (} = O) (- OH), (C 10 H 21 O) -P (= O) (- OH) 2, (C 13 H 27 O) 2 -P (= O) _{(-OH), (C 13 H} 27 O) -P (= O) (- OH) 2, (C 16 H 33 O) 2 -P (= O) (- OH), (C 16 H 33 O -P (= O) (- OH ) 2, (HO-C 6 H 12 O) 2 -P (= O) (- OH), (HO-C 6 H 12 O) -P (= O) (- _{OH) 2, (HO-C} 8 H 16 O) -P (= O) (- OH), (HO-C 8 H 16 O) -P (= O) (- OH) 2, [(CH 2 OH _{) (CHOH) O] 2 -P} (= O) (- OH), [(CH 2 OH) (CHOH) O] -P (= O) (- OH) 2, [(CH 2 OH) (CHOH) C ₂ H ₄ O] ₂ —P (═O) (— OH), [(CH ₂ OH) (CHOH) C ₂ H ₄ O] —P (═O) (— OH) _2, etc. The substance is not limited to the exemplified substances.

  The combined system of these organic acids and amines is more preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of use because the catalytic activity is increased. Among organic acid and amine combined systems, acidic phosphate ester and amine, organic carboxylic acid and amine, especially organic acidic phosphate ester and amine, and aliphatic carboxylic acid and amine combined system have higher catalytic activity and faster speed. It is preferable from the viewpoint of curability.

  These catalysts may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The blending amount of the condensation catalyst is preferably about 0.01 to 20 parts, more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts, with respect to 100 parts (parts by weight, hereinafter the same) of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. When the amount of the silanol condensation catalyst is below this range, the curing rate may be slow, and the curing reaction may not proceed sufficiently. On the other hand, if the amount of the silanol condensation catalyst exceeds this range, local heat generation and foaming will occur during curing, and it will be difficult to obtain a good cured product, and the pot life will be too short, which is preferable from the viewpoint of workability. Absent. In addition, although it does not specifically limit, a preferable result is given by the point that a tin-type curing catalyst tends to control sclerosis | hardenability.

  Although not particularly limited, when a one-component composition as described later is used, tetravalent tin is preferable in the case of a tin-based curing catalyst from the viewpoints of curing speed and storage stability of the composition. Combinations of valent tin and organic amines and non-tin compounds can also be used. In consideration of the heat resistance of the cured product, divalent tin or the like may be preferable to tetravalent tin.

  In addition, although not particularly limited, when used for applications such as a sealing agent for siding board, it is easy to relieve the stress of the cured product, regardless of whether it is a one-component or two-component system. Tetravalent tin is preferred from the standpoint that there is no peeling at the adhesive interface.

  In recent years, the focus has been on environmental issues, and tin-based catalysts may be disliked. In such cases, other non-tin-based catalysts such as bismuth carboxylate and titanium carboxylate may be selected.

  Further, in the curable composition of the present invention, in order to further enhance the activity of the condensation catalyst, it is also possible to use the above-mentioned silane coupling agent having an amino group as a cocatalyst in the same manner as the amine compound. . The amino group-containing silane coupling agent is a compound having a silicon atom to which a hydrolyzable group is bonded (hereinafter referred to as a hydrolyzable silyl group) and an amino group, and the groups already exemplified as the hydrolyzable group. A methoxy group, an ethoxy group, and the like are preferable from the viewpoint of hydrolysis rate. The number of hydrolyzable groups is preferably 2 or more, particularly 3 or more.

  The compounding amount of these amine compounds is preferably about 0.01 to 50 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. If the compounding amount of the amine compound is less than 0.01 parts by weight, the curing rate may be slow, and the curing reaction may not proceed sufficiently. On the other hand, when the compounding amount of the amine compound exceeds 30 parts by weight, the pot life may become too short, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of workability.

  These amine compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  Furthermore, a silicon compound having no amino group or silanol group may be added as a promoter. These silicon compounds are not limited, but phenyltrimethoxysilane, phenylmethyldimethoxysilane, phenyldimethylmethoxysilane, diphenyldimethoxysilane, diphenyldiethoxysilane, triphenylmethoxysilane and the like are preferable. In particular, diphenyldimethoxysilane and diphenyldiethoxysilane are most preferable because of low cost and easy availability.

  The amount of the silicon compound is preferably about 0.01 to 20 parts, more preferably 0.1 to 10 parts, based on 100 parts of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. When the compounding amount of the silicon compound is below this range, the effect of accelerating the curing reaction may be reduced. On the other hand, when the compounding amount of the silicon compound exceeds this range, the hardness and tensile strength of the cured product may decrease.

  The type and amount of the curing catalyst / curing agent can control the curability and mechanical properties of the present invention according to the purpose and application. Also, the type and amount of the curing catalyst / curing agent can be changed depending on the reactivity of the silyl group of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. If the reactivity is high, a small amount of 0.01 to 1 part It is possible to sufficiently cure within the range.

The type and addition amount of the curing catalyst / curing agent can be selected depending on the type of Y and the number of a in the vinyl polymer of the present invention. Etc. can be controlled. When Y is an alkoxy group, the smaller the number of carbon atoms, the higher the reactivity, and the higher the number a, the higher the reactivity, so that it can be sufficiently cured in a small amount.
<< Polyether polymer (V) >>
In the present invention, it is also possible to use a polyether polymer (V).
<< Polyether polymer having a crosslinkable functional group >>
The main chain of the main chain polyether polymer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polybutylene oxide, and polyphenylene oxide. Of these, it is preferably essentially polyoxyalkylene, and more preferably essentially polypropylene oxide, which may contain ethylene oxide, butylene oxide, phenylene oxide and the like in addition to propylene oxide. The polyether polymer may or may not contain a urethane bond in the main chain. Here, “the main chain is essentially polypropylene oxide” means that propylene oxide units occupy 50% or more, preferably 70% or more, more preferably 90% or more of the repeating units constituting the main chain. Say. The lower the viscosity, the better the handleability, so that the molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of the polypropylene oxide polymer is more preferably 1.5 or less.
The crosslinkable functional group in the polyether-based polymer is not particularly limited, and preferably has a crosslinkable silyl group, an alkenyl group, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, and a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond. Group and epoxy group. In particular, a crosslinkable silyl group is preferable.

The polyether polymer preferably has at least one crosslinkable functional group, but may be 1 or less. From the viewpoint of curability of the composition, it is preferably more than 1, more preferably 1.1 to 4.0 on average, and even more preferably 1.5 to 2.5 on average. Moreover, it is preferable from a viewpoint of rubber elasticity of hardened | cured material that a crosslinkable functional group exists in the terminal of a polyether-type polymer. More preferably, there are functional groups at both ends of the polymer.
Molecular weight The polyether polymer having at least one crosslinkable functional group preferably has a number average molecular weight of 7500 or more, but may be 7500 or less. In particular, it is more preferable to use an organic polymer having a number average molecular weight of 7500 to 25000. When the number average molecular weight of the polyether polymer is lower than 7500, the cured product is hard and has a low elongation. When the number average molecular weight exceeds 25,000, there is no problem in the flexibility and elongation of the cured product. The adhesiveness of itself becomes remarkably low, and the practicality becomes low. However, even if the molecular weight is low, flexibility and elongation may be improved if the number of crosslinkable functional groups is small, and adhesion may be improved if the number of crosslinkable functional groups is large even if the molecular weight is high. There is. The number average molecular weight is particularly preferably 8000 to 20000 from the viewpoint of viscosity, but it may be 8000 or less or 20,000 or more.
Use amount of the polyether polymer (V) The use amount of the polyether polymer (V) may be any amount, but a vinyl polymer having at least one crosslinkable silyl group ( The weight ratio is preferably 100/1 to 1/100, more preferably 100/5 to 5/100, and more preferably 100/10 to 10/100. preferable. The addition amount can be set according to each application and purpose. However, if the addition amount is too large, the excellent heat resistance and weather resistance, which are one of the effects of the present invention, may be lowered.

A (meth) acrylic polymer produced by a general radical polymerization method or a high-temperature continuous bulk polymer (for example, an SGO oligomer produced by Toa Gosei Co., Ltd. or a silylated product thereof in advance in the above-mentioned polyether polymer. What was mixed may be used for mixing with the vinyl polymer.
<Polyether polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group>
The polyether polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group will be described below.

The main chain structure of the polyether polymer having a main chain crosslinkable silyl group is the same as described above. The main chain may be linear or branched, or a mixture thereof. Of these, a main chain derived from polyoxypropylene diol, polyoxypropylene triol or a mixture thereof is particularly preferable. Further, other monomer units and the like may be contained, but the monomer unit represented by the above formula is preferably present in the polymer in an amount of 50% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight or more.

  The main chain may or may not contain a urethane bond or urea bond.

The molecular structure of the polyether-based polymer varies depending on the intended use and intended characteristics, and those described in JP-A-63-112642 can be used. Such polyoxyalkylenes can be prepared by conventional polymerization methods (anionic polymerization methods using caustic alkali), cesium metal catalysts, JP-A 61-197631, JP-A 61-215622, JP-A 61-215623, and Porphyrin / aluminum complex catalysts exemplified in JP-A-61-218632 and the like, double metal cyanide complex catalysts exemplified in JP-B-46-27250 and JP-B-59-15336, etc., exemplified in JP-A-10-273512 It can be obtained by a method using a catalyst comprising a polyphosphazene salt.
In a method using a porphyrin / aluminum complex catalyst, a double metal cyanide complex catalyst or a catalyst comprising a polyphosphazene salt, the molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) is 1.6 or less, and further a small value of oxy such as 1.5 or less. When an alkylene polymer can be obtained and the molecular weight distribution is small, there is an advantage that the viscosity of the composition can be reduced while maintaining the low modulus and high elongation of the cured product.
As the crosslinkable silyl group , a group represented by the general formula (1) can be used as in the vinyl polymer, and a group represented by the general formula (6) is preferable. The explanation about the group represented by the general formula (1) or the general formula (6) is similarly applied to the polyether polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. The crosslinkable silyl group in the polyether polymer may have the same structure as the crosslinkable silyl group in the vinyl polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group, or may have a different structure.

Since the bond between the crosslinkable silyl group and the polyether moiety is resistant to hydrolysis, it appears that there are at least three carbon atoms between the silicon atom of the silyl group and the ether oxygen atom of the polyether moiety. In addition, an alkylene group such as trimethylene and tetramethylene is preferable.
The number of crosslinkable silyl groups and the number of position crosslinkable silyl groups are preferably more than 1.2 from the viewpoint of the curability of the composition, and more preferably 1.2 or more and 4.0 or less. More preferably, it is 1.5 to 2.5 or less. Moreover, it is preferable that the crosslinkable silyl group of a polyether-type polymer exists in the terminal of a molecular chain from a viewpoint of rubber elasticity of hardened | cured material, More preferably, it has a functional group in the both ends of a polymer.

A polyether polymer having an average of less than 1.2 crosslinkable silyl groups can also be used. In this case, a cured product having high elongation at break, low bleeding property, low surface contamination, and excellent paint adhesion can be obtained. Moreover, the viscosity of a composition can be reduced by setting the molecular weight of this polymer smaller. The lower limit of the number of crosslinkable silyl groups is preferably at least 0.1, more preferably 0.3 or more, and even more preferably 0.5 or more. The crosslinkable silyl group is preferably at the end of the molecular chain. Further, the crosslinkable silyl group of this polyether polymer is preferably only at one end in the main chain and not at the other end, but if it is 1.2 or less on average It is not particularly limited. In the case of reducing the viscosity by using a polyether polymer having an average of less than 1.2 crosslinkable silyl groups, the preferred molecular weight is less than 10,000, further less than 5,000.
Introduction Method of Crosslinkable Silyl Group The introduction of the crosslinkable silyl group may be performed by a known method. That is, for example, the following method can be mentioned.

Furthermore, one to three things may be mixed.
<< Curable composition >>
In the curable composition of the present invention, various compounding agents may be added according to the intended physical properties.
<Dehydrating agent>
The curable composition increases in viscosity and gelation during storage due to moisture at the time of production, etc., causing difficulty in workability during use, and also increases in viscosity and gelation. By using the advanced curable composition, the physical properties of the cured product after curing may be deteriorated, resulting in a problem that the original sealing property and the like are impaired. That is, the storage stability of the curable composition may be a problem.

  In order to improve the storage stability of this curable composition, there is a method of reducing the moisture content of the curable composition by azeotropic dehydration. For example, about 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a volatile organic compound having a minimum azeotropic point with respect to water is added and mixed uniformly, and then heated to about 50 to 90 ° C. and sucked with a vacuum pump. A method of removing an azeotropic composition of a compound into a body is mentioned. Volatile organic compounds having a minimum azeotropic point with respect to water include halides such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and trichloroethylene; alcohols such as ethanol, allyl alcohol, 1-propanol, and butanol; ethyl acetate, propionic acid Examples thereof include esters such as methyl; ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone and 3-methyl-2-butanone; ethers such as ethyl ether and isopropyl ether; hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene and hexane. However, since this method involves a devolatilization operation, it is necessary to devise other volatile compounding agents, or it is necessary to treat, recover, etc., the volatile organic compound to be azeotroped. Therefore, it may be preferable to add the following dehydrating agents.

  As described above, a dehydrating agent for removing moisture in the composition can be added to the composition of the present invention for the purpose of improving storage stability. Examples of the dehydrating agent include inorganic solids such as phosphorus pentoxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium sulfate (anhydrous bow glass), and molecular sieves. These solid dehydrating agents may be used, but the liquidity after addition tends to be acidic or basic, condensing easily, resulting in poor storage stability and workability such as removing the solid later. In some cases, the liquid hydrolyzable ester compound described below is preferable. Examples of hydrolyzable ester compounds include trialkyl orthoformate such as trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoformate, tripropyl orthoformate, tributyl orthoformate, trimethyl orthoacetate, triethyl orthoacetate, tripropyl orthoacetate. And trialkyl orthoacetate such as tributyl orthoacetate, and those selected from the group consisting of these compounds.

Other hydrolyzable ester compounds may further include the formula R _4-n SiY _n (wherein Y is a hydrolyzable group, R is an organic group and may or may not contain a functional group). n is an integer of 1 to 4, preferably 3 or 4, and specific examples thereof include vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, and methyltrimethoxy. Silane, methyltriethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, methyltriacetoxysilane, tetramethyl orthosilicate (tetramethoxysilane or methyl silicate), tetraethyl orthosilicate (tetraethoxysilane or ethyl silicate), tetra orthosilicate Silanes such as propyl and tetrabutyl orthosilicate Compounds or partial hydrolysis condensates thereof, γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, N- (β-aminoethyl) -γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-acryloxy Propyltrimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, N- (β-aminoethyl) -γ-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, etc. Examples thereof include silane coupling agents or partial hydrolysis condensates thereof. One or more of these can be used in combination.

  The dehydrating agent not only prevents hydrolysis of the vinyl polymer during storage and forms a three-dimensional network by silanol condensation reaction, but also decomposes the ketimine with water and reacts with the epoxy resin to cure. Therefore, it is more preferable as a storage stability improver.

  The amount of the storage stability improver used is 0.1 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 0.3 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the vinyl polymer. is there.

In addition, when adding these storage stability improving agents, it is preferable to carry out after making the curable composition anhydrous, but it may be added in a state containing moisture.
<Adhesive agent>
To the composition of the present invention, the above-mentioned aminosilane compound (III), other silane coupling agents, and an adhesion-imparting agent other than the silane coupling agent can be added. When the adhesion imparting agent is added, the joint width or the like fluctuates due to an external force, so that the risk of the sealing material peeling off from the adherend such as a siding board can be further reduced. Further, in some cases, it is not necessary to use a primer used for improving adhesion, and simplification of construction work is expected. Specific examples of silane coupling agents include amino groups, mercapto groups, epoxy groups, carboxyl groups, vinyl groups, isocyanate groups, isocyanurates, halogen and other functional groups such as halogens. Specific examples thereof As γ-isocyanatepropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-isocyanatopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, γ-isocyanatepropylmethyldimethoxysilane and other isocyanate group-containing silanes; γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane , Γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriisopropoxysilane, γ-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) amino Propyltrimethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropyltriethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, γ -(2-aminoethyl) aminopropyltriisopropoxysilane, γ-ureidopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-phenyl-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-benzyl-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-vinylbenzyl -Amino group-containing silanes such as γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane; γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, etc. Γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, β- (3,4-epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltrimethoxy Epoxy group-containing silanes such as silane and β- (3,4-epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltriethoxysilane; β-carboxyethyltriethoxysilane, β-carboxyethylphenylbis (2-methoxyethoxy) silane, N-β- Carboxysilanes such as (carboxymethyl) aminoethyl-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane; vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, γ-methacryloyloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ-acryloyloxypropylmethyltrieth Vinyl-type unsaturated group-containing silanes such as xysilane; halogen-containing silanes such as γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane; isocyanurate silanes such as tris (trimethoxysilyl) isocyanurate, bis (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) Examples thereof include polysulfanes such as tetrasulfane. In addition, a reaction product of the amino group-containing silane and the epoxy group-containing silane, a reaction product of an amino group-containing silane and an acroyloxy group-containing silane, an amino group-containing silane and an isocyanate group-containing silane These reactants can also be used. Further, amino-modified silyl polymers, silylated amino polymers, unsaturated aminosilane complexes, phenylamino long-chain alkylsilanes, aminosilylated silicones, blocked isocyanate silanes, silylated polyesters, etc., which are derivatives of these, are also used as silane coupling agents. Can be used. A ketimine compound obtained by reacting the above amino group-containing silanes with a ketone compound such as methyl isobutyl ketone can also be used as a silane coupling agent.

  The silane coupling agent used for this invention is normally used in 0.1-20 parts with respect to 100 parts of polymers which have a crosslinkable silyl group. In particular, it is preferably used in the range of 0.5 to 10 parts. The effects of the silane coupling agent added to the curable composition of the present invention include various adherends, that is, inorganic substrates such as glass, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc, copper, mortar, vinyl chloride, acrylic, polyester, When used for organic base materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, etc., it exhibits a remarkable adhesive improvement effect under non-primer conditions or primer treatment conditions. When used under non-primer conditions, the effect of improving the adhesion to various adherends is particularly remarkable. Moreover, if the usage-amount is about 1 part with respect to 100 parts of polymers which have a crosslinkable silyl group, it will hardly affect transparency of hardened | cured material.

  Specific examples other than the silane coupling agent are not particularly limited. For example, epoxy resin, phenol resin, polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene, polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene, polystyrene-polyisoprene / butadiene copolymer-polystyrene, polystyrene. -Polyethylene / propylene copolymer-Polystyrene, polystyrene-polyethylene / butylene copolymer-Linear or branched block copolymers such as polystyrene, polystyrene-polyisobutene-polystyrene, alkyl sulfonates, sulfur, alkyl titanates And aromatic polyisocyanate. The epoxy resin can be used by reacting with the above amino group-containing silanes.

  The adhesiveness-imparting agent may be used alone or in combination of two or more. By adding these adhesiveness-imparting agents, the adhesion to the adherend can be improved. Although not particularly limited, 0.1-20 parts by weight of a silane coupling agent is used in combination with the above-mentioned adhesion-imparting agent in order to improve adhesion, particularly adhesion to a metal-coated surface such as an oil pan. Is preferred.

The type and amount of the adhesion-imparting agent can be selected according to the type of Y and the number of a in the vinyl polymer of the present invention, and the curability, mechanical properties, etc. Can be controlled. In particular, care must be taken when selecting because it affects curability and elongation.
<Plasticizer>
You may use various plasticizers for the curable composition of this invention as needed. When a plasticizer is used in combination with a filler to be described later, it becomes more advantageous because the elongation of the cured product can be increased or a large amount of filler can be mixed, but it is not necessarily added. Although it does not specifically limit as a plasticizer, For purposes, such as adjustment of a physical property and adjustment of properties, phthalic acid esters, such as dibutyl phthalate, diheptyl phthalate, di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, etc. Non-aromatic dibasic esters such as dioctyl adipate, dioctyl sebacate, dibutyl sebacate, isodecyl succinate; aliphatic esters such as butyl oleate and methyl acetyl ricinoleate; diethylene glycol dibenzoate, triethylene glycol di Polyalkylene glycol esters such as benzoate and pentaerythritol ester; Phosphate esters such as tricresyl phosphate and tributyl phosphate; Trimellitic acid esters; Polystyrenes such as re-α-methylstyrene; polybutadiene, polybutene, polyisobutylene, butadiene-acrylonitrile, polychloroprene; chlorinated paraffins; hydrocarbon oils such as alkyldiphenyl and partially hydrogenated terphenyl; process oils; Polyether glycol such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymer, polytetramethylene glycol, etc., one end or both ends or all ends of the hydroxyl groups of these polyether polyols to alkyl ester groups or alkyl ether groups Polyethers such as converted alkyl derivatives; Epoxy group-containing plasticizers such as epoxidized soybean oil, epoxy benzyl stearate, E-PS; sebacic acid, adipic acid, azela Polyester plasticizers obtained from dibasic acids such as inic acid and phthalic acid and dihydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol; vinyl based plastics including acrylic plasticizers Examples thereof include vinyl polymers obtained by polymerizing monomers by various methods.

  In particular, a polymer plasticizer which is a polymer having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 15,000 is added, whereby the viscosity and slump property of the curable composition and the tensile strength of the cured product obtained by curing the composition are obtained. Mechanical properties such as strength and elongation can be adjusted, and the initial physical properties are maintained over a long period of time compared to the case of using a low molecular plasticizer that is a plasticizer that does not contain a polymer component in the molecule. It is possible to improve the drying property (also referred to as paintability) when an alkyd paint is applied. Although not limited, the polymer plasticizer may or may not have a functional group.

  Although the number average molecular weight of the polymer plasticizer was described as 500 to 15,000 above, it is preferably 800 to 10,000, and more preferably 1,000 to 8,000. If the molecular weight is too low, the plasticizer will flow out over time due to heat and rain, the initial physical properties cannot be maintained over a long period of time, and the alkyd paintability cannot be improved. Moreover, when molecular weight is too high, a viscosity will become high and workability | operativity will worsen.

  Among these polymer plasticizers, polyether plasticizers and (meth) acrylic polymer plasticizers are preferable from the viewpoint of high elongation characteristics or high weather resistance. Examples of the synthesis method of the acrylic polymer include those obtained by conventional solution polymerization and solvent-free acrylic polymers. The latter acrylic plasticizer is prepared by a high-temperature continuous polymerization method (USP 4414370, JP 59-6207, JP-B-5-58005, JP 1-313522, USP 5010166) without using a solvent or a chain transfer agent. More preferred for the purposes of the present invention. Examples thereof include, but are not particularly limited to, for example, ARUFON UP series (UP-1000, UP-1110, UP-2000, UP-2130) (referred to as SGO) of Toagosei Co., Ltd. (waterproof journal, June 2002 issue) reference). Of course, the living radical polymerization method can also be mentioned as another synthesis method. According to this method, the molecular weight distribution of the polymer is narrow and the viscosity can be lowered, and the atom transfer radical polymerization method is more preferable, but it is not limited thereto.

  The molecular weight distribution of the polymer plasticizer is not particularly limited, but is preferably narrow from the viewpoint of viscosity, and preferably less than 1.8. 1.7 or less is more preferable, 1.6 or less is still more preferable, 1.5 or less is more preferable, 1.4 or less is especially preferable, and 1.3 or less is the most preferable.

  From the viewpoint of viscosity, it is preferable to have a branched structure in the main chain because the viscosity becomes lower at the same molecular weight. The high temperature continuous polymerization method mentioned above is mentioned as this example.

  The plasticizer containing the above-mentioned polymer plasticizer may be used alone or in combination of two or more, but is not necessarily required. Further, if necessary, a high molecular plasticizer may be used, and a low molecular plasticizer may be further used in a range that does not adversely affect the physical properties. In addition, for example, in the case of a composition in which the vinyl polymer of the present invention and a polyether polymer which is one of optional polymers having a crosslinkable functional group are mixed, from the point of compatibility of the mixture Phthalic acid esters and acrylic polymers are particularly preferred.

  These plasticizers can also be blended at the time of polymer production.

The amount of the plasticizer used is not limited, but is 5 to 150 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 120 parts by weight, more preferably 20 to 100 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group. It is. If the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect as a plasticizer is hardly exhibited, and if it exceeds 150 parts by weight, the mechanical strength of the cured product tends to be insufficient.

Further, silica whose surface is previously hydrophobically treated with an organosilicon compound such as organosilane, organosilazane, diorganocyclopolysiloxane or the like is more preferable.

  More specific examples of silica-based fillers with high reinforcing properties are not particularly limited, but are those of Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd., which is one of fumed silica, and Nippon Silica Corporation, which is one of precipitated silica. Nipsil etc. are mentioned. Silica having an average particle diameter of 1 nm to 30 μm can be used. Particularly for fumed silica, it is more preferable to use fumed silica having an average primary particle diameter of 1 nm to 50 nm because the reinforcing effect is particularly high. In addition, the average particle diameter in this invention is based on the sieving method. Specifically, the powder is classified with various sieves (micro sieves, etc.), and the value corresponding to the sieve openings through which 50% by weight of the total weight of the powder used for measurement has passed (weight average) Particle size). A composition reinforced with a filler is excellent in quick fixability and suitable for automobile glass glazing adhesion.

  Transparency can also be obtained by using a resin powder such as PMMA powder as a filler.

  Further, when it is desired to obtain a cured product having low strength and large elongation, a filler selected mainly from titanium oxide, talc, ferric oxide, zinc oxide, shirasu balloon, and the like can be added.

  These fillers may be used alone or in combination of two or more according to the purpose and necessity. There is no particular limitation.

  When the filler is used, the addition amount is preferably 5 to 1,000 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group, and preferably 20 to 500 parts by weight. More preferably, it is used in a range of 40 to 300 parts by weight. When the blending amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of improving the breaking strength, breaking elongation, adhesion and weather resistance of the cured product may not be sufficient, and when it exceeds 1,000 parts by weight, the curable composition Workability may be reduced. A filler may be used independently and may be used together 2 or more types.

It should be noted that dolomite, carbon black, titanium oxide, talc and the like may be added in a large amount, thereby hindering the transparency of the present invention and resulting in an opaque cured product.

  In order to obtain a transparent cured product when the mixture of the vinyl polymer of the present invention and the epoxy resin is cured, the epoxy resin is preferably compatible with the vinyl polymer, for example, Hydrogenated bisphenol A type epoxy resins are easily compatible with various vinyl polymers, and easily obtain a transparent cured product.

  A curable composition having a combination of good compatibility between the vinyl polymer and the epoxy resin tends to take a modulation structure when cured, and as a result, a transparent cured product is easily obtained. Furthermore, the mechanical properties may be remarkably improved.

Is preferably in the range of 100/5 to 5/100, more preferably in the range of 100/10 to 10/100, but the mixing ratio is not limited. It can be set according to each application and purpose. Due to its characteristics, this curable composition can be used as an elastic adhesive for bonding materials with different linear expansion coefficients or for members that are repeatedly displaced by a heat cycle. Taking advantage of its properties, it can be used as a coating agent in applications where the substrate can be seen. For example, in this elastic adhesive application, if the mixing ratio of the epoxy resin is too large, the cured product becomes hard and the peel strength decreases, and if it is too small, the adhesive strength and water resistance decrease conversely. It is usually used in the range of about 10 to 150 parts by weight, preferably in the range of 20 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polymer (I).

Specific examples of the ketimine compound include, for example, JP-A-7-242737.

  These curing agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Although not particularly limited, among these curing agents for epoxy resins, 2,4,6-tris (dimethylaminomethyl) phenol and polyoxypropylene-based diamine are preferable from the viewpoint of curability and physical property balance.

  Such a curing agent for epoxy resins is usually in the range of about 1 to 60 parts by weight, preferably 2 to 50 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polymer having a crosslinkable silyl group, depending on the amount of the epoxy resin. It is good to be used within a range. If it is less than 1 part by weight, the epoxy resin is insufficiently cured and the adhesive strength is lowered. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 60 parts by weight, bleeding to the interface occurs and the adhesiveness is lowered, which is not preferable.

  The curable composition of the present invention can be used substantially without a solvent. Although a solvent may be used from the viewpoint of workability and the like, it is desirable not to use it because of environmental influences.

  The curable composition of the present invention may be prepared as a one-component type in which all compounding components are preliminarily blended and stored and cured by moisture in the air after construction. The vinyl polymer (I) and its curing agent -Separately, the curing catalyst may be separately prepared, and components such as a filler, a plasticizer, and water may be separately blended, and the blended material may be adjusted as a two-component type that is mixed before use.

  For example, although not limited, the vinyl polymer (I) and the masked adhesion-imparting aminosilane, etc. are prepared as the A agent, and the compound (II) containing an S atom in the molecule and the vinyl as the B agent. It is also possible to prepare a tin compound, water or the like as a curing catalyst for the polymer (I) and mix and use the above-mentioned A agent and B agent immediately before construction.

  When the one-component type is used, the trouble of mixing and kneading is not required at the time of construction, and at the same time, there is no measurement error (incorrect mixing ratio), so that errors such as poor curing can be prevented.

  When the two-component type is used, a colorant can be added when the two components are mixed. For example, when providing a sealing material that matches the color of the siding board, an abundant color arrangement can be made with limited stock. This makes it easy to cope with the increase in the number of colors requested from the market, and is preferable for low-rise buildings. In addition, for the same reason as in the two-component type, a colorant may be added when using the one-component curable composition. In particular, in a one-component curable composition in a can container, it is easy to handle multiple colors. . When using and adjusting the one-component type, water may be added after mixing from the container, followed by mixing or the like to cure.

For example, when the colorant is a paste formed by mixing a pigment and a plasticizer, and in some cases, a filler, it is easy to work. Further, by adding a retarder when mixing the two components, the curing rate can be finely adjusted at the work site.
