Description

  The present invention relates to a laminate that can be used for a vibration isolator, a seat pad, a sound absorbing material, a waterproof sheet, and the like, and particularly relates to a laminate provided with a base material made of a flexible urethane foam.

  Usually, a flexible urethane foam is produced using an aromatic polyisocyanate as a polyisocyanate component. However, a flexible urethane foam using such an aromatic polyisocyanate has low weather resistance due to its chemical structure. In other words, there is a problem that it is yellowed when exposed to sunlight.

  In contrast, soft urethane foams that are resistant to yellowing even when exposed to sunlight and have high weather resistance, such as soft urethane foams that contain a large amount of additives such as antioxidants and UV absorbers, and isocyanurates as isocyanate components A flexible urethane foam using a hexamethylene diisocyanate polymer for forming a ring is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2-242813

  However, flexible urethane foams that contain a large amount of additives such as antioxidants and UV absorbers cannot sufficiently prevent yellowing, and there is a problem in that the yellowing prevention effect is limited. It was. Moreover, in the flexible urethane foam manufactured using the hexamethylene diisocyanate polymer which shape | molds an isocyanurate ring as an isocyanate component, there existed a problem that the isocyanate component which can be used will be limited.

  Therefore, establishment of means capable of preventing yellowing of the flexible urethane foam, which can be applied to a flexible urethane foam produced using an aromatic polyisocyanate as an isocyanate component, has been demanded.

  The present invention aims to advantageously solve the above-mentioned problems, and the laminate of the present invention contains a photocurable resin and a photopolymerization initiator on the surface of a base material made of flexible urethane foam. After applying the photocurable composition to be applied, the photocurable composition is a laminate obtained by irradiating the photocurable composition with an energy ray to cause reaction curing, and the photocurable resin contains a photocurable functional group. It is a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer, a hydrogenated conjugated diene-aromatic vinyl copolymer, or a mixture thereof. Thus, if the surface of the base material made of flexible urethane foam is coated with a photocurable composition, and the photocurable composition is cured by reaction to form a laminate, the laminate may be exposed to sunlight or the like. The base material made of the flexible urethane foam does not turn yellow or deteriorate. Therefore, in the laminate of the present invention, a flexible urethane foam using an aromatic polyisocyanate or the like as a polyisocyanate component can be used as a base material.

  Here, as for the laminated body of this invention, it is preferable that the said photocurable composition contains a (meth) acrylate monomer in the ratio of 150 mass parts or less with respect to 100 mass parts of said photocurable resins, and 70 masses. More preferably, it is contained in a proportion of not more than parts, more preferably not more than 60 parts by mass. By blending the (meth) acrylate monomer, the adhesiveness between the photocurable composition cured by irradiation of energy rays and the substrate can be improved, and the blending amount of the (meth) acrylate monomer is too large. This is because the hardness of the laminate increases. Moreover, it is because a viscosity becomes low and it becomes easy to shape | mold. From the viewpoint of improving adhesiveness, the amount of the (meth) acrylate monomer is preferably 1 part by mass or more and more preferably 20 parts by mass or more with respect to 100 parts by mass of the photocurable resin. Preferably, it is 30 parts by mass or more. Incidentally, in the present invention, (meth) acrylate refers to acrylate or methacrylate.

  In the laminate, the ester residue of the (meth) acrylate monomer is preferably an alkyl group having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, an isobornyl group, a dicyclopentanyl group, a cyclohexyl group, or a dicyclopentenyl group. This is because if such a (meth) acrylate monomer having an ester residue is added to the photocurable composition, the adhesion between the photocurable composition cured by irradiation with energy rays and the substrate is further improved. . In addition, the ester residue of the (meth) acrylate monomer refers to a residue obtained by removing one hydroxyl group of the hydroxyl group-containing compound from the (meth) acrylic acid and the hydroxyl group-containing compound constituting the (meth) acrylate monomer.

  According to the laminate of the present invention, since the substrate made of the flexible urethane foam is coated with the cured photocurable composition, the internal flexible urethane foam is yellowed even when the laminate is exposed to sunlight. There is nothing to do.

  Below, the laminated body of this invention is demonstrated in detail. In the laminate of the present invention, the surface of a base material made of a flexible urethane foam is coated with a photocurable composition containing a photocurable resin and a photopolymerization initiator, and then the photocurable composition is reacted.

  Specifically, a photocurable composition containing a photocurable resin produced by the following method, a (meth) acrylate monomer, and a photopolymerization initiator can be used without any limitation.

<Photocurable resin>
The photocurable resin used in the photocurable composition is a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer (for example, hydrogenated butadiene polymer) or a hydrogenated conjugated diene-aromatic vinyl copolymer (for example, water) containing a photocurable functional group. Styrene-butadiene copolymer) or a mixture of a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer and a hydrogenated conjugated diene-aromatic vinyl copolymer, which can be produced, for example, as follows.
(1) First, a butadiene monomer (for example, 1,3-butadiene) or a butadiene monomer and a styrene monomer are polymerized with a dilithium initiator in a saturated hydrocarbon solvent to obtain a butadiene polymer. Alternatively, a styrene-butadiene copolymer (hereinafter, simply referred to as “(co) polymer”) is produced. Here, since the main polymerization is living anionic polymerization, the polymerization can be performed while controlling the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. It is possible to polymerize a polymer having a predetermined molecular weight depending on the amount of the dilithium initiator and the above monomer. Particularly when the weight average molecular weight is 5000 or more, a narrow polymer having a molecular weight distribution of 2 or less is easily obtained. If desired, anionic polymerization may be carried out in the presence of a randomizer. The (co) polymer refers to “polymer or copolymer”.
(2) Next, a butadiene polymer polyol or styrene having a hydroxyl group at both ends by reacting the polymer end which is the living anion of the (co) polymer produced in (1) above with an alkylene oxide. A butadiene copolymer polyol (hereinafter, simply referred to as “(co) polymer polyol”) can be obtained.
(3) Further, the (co) polymer polyol having a double bond in the main chain produced in (2) above is subjected to a hydrogenation reaction (hereinafter referred to as “hydrogenation reaction”), so A hydrogenated butadiene polymer polyol or a hydrogenated styrene butadiene copolymer polyol having no saturated double bond (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “hydrogenated (co) polymer polyol”) can be obtained.
(4) Finally, by reacting the hydrogenated (co) polymer polyol obtained as described above with a photocurable unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing compound as a photocurable functional group-containing compound, A liquid photocurable resin into which a photocurable functional group (photocurable unsaturated hydrocarbon group) is introduced is obtained.

  The dilithium initiator is not particularly limited, and known ones can be used. Specifically, for example, a dilithium initiator produced by reacting a monolithium compound with a disubstituted vinyl or an alkenyl group-containing aromatic hydrocarbon in the presence of a tertiary amine can be used.

  Examples of the tertiary amine used when producing the dilithium initiator include lower aliphatic amines such as trimethylamine and triethylamine, and N, N-diphenylmethylamine. Triethylamine is particularly preferable. Examples of the disubstituted vinyl or alkenyl group-containing aromatic hydrocarbon include 1,3- (diisopropenyl) benzene, 1,4- (diisopropenyl) benzene, 1,3-bis (1-ethylethenyl). ) Benzene, 1,4-bis (1-ethylethenyl) benzene and the like.

  The solvent used in the preparation of the dilithium initiator and the production of the (co) polymer may be an organic solvent inert to the reaction.

This polyol reaction is preferably performed immediately after the polymerization reaction.

  In addition, when the weight average molecular weight of the (co) polymer polyol obtained by the above-mentioned polyolation reaction is 5000 or more, the above-described photocurable resin can increase the molecular weight between cross-linking points, and after the photocuring reaction. The elastic modulus of the photocurable resin can be lowered and the elongation can be increased. On the other hand, when the molecular weight is 40,000 or less, the polymerization viscosity does not become too high when polymerization is carried out with a dilithium catalyst, and it is not necessary to lower the solid content concentration as a polymerization process, so that it can be produced at low cost.

  Moreover, various influences by a low molecular weight component and a high molecular weight component can be suppressed as molecular weight distribution is 3.0 or less. In particular, since the viscosity is greatly affected by the molecular weight, slight fluctuations in the molecular weight cause viscosity variations. Since it can synthesize | combine the (co) polymer of narrow molecular weight distribution if it manufactures according to said (1)-(4), the (co) polymer of the same molecular weight can be obtained with sufficient reproducibility. Therefore, the viscosity can be stabilized. Usually, a liquid material such as the above-described photo-curable resin is often dispensed by a dispenser. In this case, variation in material viscosity causes variation in dimensions after application, and thus stabilization of the viscosity is important. . Accordingly, the photocurable resin preferably has a molecular weight distribution of 3.0 or less.

If the hydrogenation temperature exceeds 180 ° C., catalyst deactivation, side reactions, etc. are likely to occur. It is not preferable. In general, a Ziegler-based hydrogenation catalyst is a catalyst having extremely high hydrogenation activity, and it is not preferable to set the hydrogen pressure to 100 atm (101325 hPa) or more because it is not necessary and a burden on the apparatus is increased.

  The hydrogenated (co) polymer polyol is reacted with a photocurable unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing compound as a photocurable functional group-containing compound, and photocured at the terminal of the hydrogenated (co) polymer polyol.
