Description

  The present invention relates to a chloroprene latex whose polymer properties are stable even when stored for a long period of time, and a method for producing the same. The term “long term” in the present invention means 2 years or more in refrigerated storage at 10 ° C. and 5 months or more in normal temperature storage at 23 ° C.

  Solvent-based adhesives based on chloroprene rubber and the like have been used for various applications because of their good workability and adhesive properties.

  However, the organic solvent used has an adverse effect on the global environment and the health of workers, and sometimes has a risk of causing a fire in the workplace. Therefore, the demand for solvent removal is increasing.

  As one of the methods for removing the solvent, substitution with a latex adhesive is considered. Various types of chloroprene latex are known (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4).

  However, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when a water-soluble polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol is used, the latex exhibits excellent latex stability due to its protective colloid properties, while the expected adhesive properties are obtained. In particular, the water resistance is lowered.

  In addition, as shown in Patent Documents 3 and 4, when an emulsifier composed of a metal salt of rosin acid is used, the stability of the latex is reduced by dehydrochlorination during storage of chloroprene rubber or by lowering the pH when the adhesive is blended. Lowers and causes problems such as precipitation of rubber.

  There is also a method of making good use of this feature and adjusting the pH with a throat amino acid such as glycine to improve the adhesive properties in a wet state (for example, Patent Document 5).

  However, the operation is troublesome, for example, it is necessary to mix while confirming the pH, and the physical properties change when the pH changes due to storage, so the life of the adhesive is also short.

  As latex which does not depend on pH and is stable, chloroprene latex composed of a nonionic emulsifier or an anionic emulsifier composed of sulfonate or sulfate is known (for example, Patent Documents 6 to 8).

  However, nonionic emulsifiers have a phenomenon in which the hydrogen bond between the hydrophilic group and water is weakened at a certain temperature or more and the solubility is reduced, resulting in a phenomenon of separation into two phases. Therefore, the types that can be used stably are limited, the polymerization process, There may be a problem in the manufacturing process, for example, the temperature in the monomer removal process is limited.

  In Patent Document 7, a polyoxyethylene polycyclic phenyl ether or a sulfonic acid emulsifier is used as a nonionic emulsifier having a specific structure for a latex prepared in the presence of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether sulfate ester as an emulsifier composed of a sulfate. It is said that a chloroprene latex with good productivity and mechanical stability can be produced by adding at least one of sodium alkyldiphenyl ether disulfonate as

  However, since the emulsifier made of sulfate is acidic and decomposes into sulfuric acid and alcohol and becomes more easily decomposed when heated, this method limits the production conditions, acidic latex, or removal by storage. Latex whose pH is lowered with hydrochloric acid may change the quality.

  On the other hand, when the polymer contains a gel component due to high molecular weight, the heat resistance is improved, but the adhesive holding time is shortened, and the contact property of the adhesive is hindered.

  As one method for solving this problem, a chloroprene copolymer latex that does not contain a gel component that is insoluble when dissolved in chloroform and an adhesive composition using the same are known. (For example, Patent Document 8 and Non-Patent Document 1).

  However, when the physical properties are improved by this method, the increase in molecular weight caused by dehydrochlorination of chloroprene rubber is a problem. Especially, when gel is generated, the physical properties are lowered, so the molecular weight is stable during storage and no gel content is generated. Is very important.

JP-A-6-287360 JP 11-335491 A Japanese Patent Publication No.51-39262 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 51-136733 JP 2001-19922 A JP 2006-160804 A JP 2006-219546 A JP-A-9-31429 JETI Vol. 44 no. 12 (88 pages)

The latex pH, mechanical stability, blending stability, polymer solution viscosity, room temperature peel strength and heat-resistant peel strength of the adhesive blend were measured by the following methods.

<PH>
The pH of the latex at 23 ° C. was measured with a pH meter (manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.).

<Mechanical stability>
The mechanical stability was evaluated by measuring the rubber coagulation rate under the following conditions by the Marlon test method.

  Latex that has been allowed to stand in a thermostatic chamber (23 ° C) for 30 minutes or more and temperature-adjusted is filtered through a 100 mesh stainless steel wire mesh, 100.0 g is weighed and used as a measurement sample. The mechanical stability of was measured. The load on the polyethylene liner was 15 kg, the rotation was started, and after 10 minutes, the latex in the Marlon cup was filtered through a weighed 100 mesh stainless steel wire mesh, further washed with pure water, and the precipitate was taken out. After thoroughly washing with pure water, it was dried in a gear oven at 110 ° C. until a constant weight was obtained. Then, it cooled to room temperature in the desiccator, and weighed to the precision of 0.1 mg. The solid content of the latex was S (%), the precipitation amount was G (g), and the rubber coagulation rate C (%) relative to the solid content in the latex was measured by the following formula.

C = G / (100 × S / 100) × 100
However, when the mechanical stability was poor and the latex jumped out of the Marlon cup due to the wrapping phenomenon during the rotation, the rotation was immediately stopped and the result was unmeasurable.

<Polymer gel content and solution viscosity>
A latex film is cast by casting latex and weighed after 30 hours at 30 ° C or less in a vacuum dryer, and then weighed every 8 hours. It dried until the weight change became 1% or less. Thereafter, the rubber was dissolved in toluene so as to have a concentration of 1% in terms of weight, mixed and dissolved in a ball mill for 16 hours, and the resulting solution was filtered with a 100 mesh wire mesh, washed with toluene, The residue was dried at 170 ° C. for 10 minutes, and the ratio of the weight to the weight of the dissolved rubber was taken as the gel content. Further, the rubber was dissolved in toluene so as to have a concentration of 10% in terms of weight in the same manner as the gel content, and the viscosity was measured using a B-type viscometer. The measurement was conducted by immersing the sample container in a thermostat at 23 ° C. for 1 hour, Measurement was performed at 60 rpm using 3 rotors, and the value after 60 seconds was used.

<Compounding stability>
The presence or absence of rubber deposition on the stirring blades when the adhesive was blended was observed.

<Normal temperature initial adhesive strength>
Apply about 250 g / m ² of the adhesive composition with a brush as an undercoat on one side of each of No. 9 canvas (about 150 mm × 60 mm), dry at 80 ° C. for 5 minutes, and again apply the adhesive composition with a brush to 110 g / m ^2. The adherend was produced by cooling after applying m ^{2 and} drying at 80 ° C. for 5 minutes. Then, the adhesive composition was applied at 110 g / m ² with a brush, dried at 23 ° C. for 60 minutes, and then pressure bonded using a hand roller. A test piece for measurement was cut into a size of 150 mm × 25 mm. The measurement of the adhesive strength was performed by using a Tensilon type tensile tester and pulling in a 180 ° direction at a peeling rate of 100 mm / min in an atmosphere at 23 ° C. The measurement was performed 2 minutes after the pressure bonding.
