Description

  The present invention relates to a touch panel member and a touch panel using the same.

  Conventionally, sticking an adhesive sheet to a metal surface has been widely performed for metal protection and surface decoration. In the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, a triazole-based compound such as benzotriazole is added in anticipation of a metal corrosion prevention effect (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape for copper piping having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer obtained by crosslinking a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition obtained by adding a triazole-based compound to an acrylic copolymer with an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent. However, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, since the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent reacts with the triazole-based compound, the pressure-sensitive adhesive may not be sufficiently crosslinked and the cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive may be reduced.

  In Patent Document 2, a crosslinking agent and a triazole compound as a heavy metal deactivator are added to an acrylic copolymer comprising 80 to 99% by weight of an acrylic acid alkyl ester and 1 to 20% by weight of a hydroxyl group-containing monomer. A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for metal sticking having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is described. However, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, since the hydroxyl group-containing monomer reacts with the benzotriazole derivative, there is a risk that the cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive will be lowered without being sufficiently crosslinked, while a large amount is required for sufficient crosslinking. When a hydroxyl group-containing monomer is used, there is a problem that the adhesive strength is lowered and the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is easily peeled off from the adherend metal.

  Conventionally, metal vapor deposition films are used in various fields such as packaging materials and building materials because of their reflectivity and light shielding properties. In particular, a metal vapor-deposited film label in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer made of an acrylic copolymer is formed on the metal layer of the metal vapor-deposited film is convenient for handling and excellent in workability, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer itself has good transparency. Widely used.

  However, since the metal layer of the metal-deposited film is usually a metal such as Al, Cu, Ag or the like deposited with a thickness of about 500 mm, depending on the use conditions, particularly in a high temperature and high humidity environment, Due to corrosion and foaming of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, its reflectivity and light-shielding properties may be impaired.Furthermore, there are problems such as the occurrence of peeling due to a decrease in cohesive force due to insufficient crosslinking of the pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, It has been difficult to use a metal-deposited film label in a stable state for a long time in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

  On the other hand, in order to prevent the corrosion of the metal layer of the metal vapor-deposited film in anticipation of the anti-corrosion effect of the triazole-based compound, it is possible to use an adhesive obtained by adding a triazole-based compound to an acrylic copolymer. It has been proposed (see Patent Documents 3 to 4).

  For example, Patent Document 3 describes an aluminum vapor-deposited film label having a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition obtained by adding benzotriazole to an acrylic copolymer, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer obtained by crosslinking the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition with an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent. Yes. However, what is specifically described as the acrylic copolymer is obtained by copolymerizing a monomer mixture containing 7 parts by weight of a carboxyl group-containing monomer with respect to 93 parts by weight of an acrylic ester. Since the amount of the carboxyl group-containing monomer is relatively large, the effect of preventing corrosion of the metal layer is not sufficient, and since the isocyanate crosslinking agent reacts with benzotriazole, the pressure-sensitive adhesive is not sufficiently crosslinked. The cohesive strength of the agent may be reduced.

  Patent Document 4 discloses that benzotriazole-based metal corrosion prevention is carried out on an acrylic polymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer mixture containing (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester as a main component and a carboxyl group-containing monomer in an amount of 3 to 20% by weight. An acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by adding a functional group-containing compound having a functional group that reacts with the carboxyl group of the acrylic polymer so that the equivalent ratio is 0.8 or more. A releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is disclosed. However, the releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is intended to protect the surface of the adherend during the etching process, and is premised on being used for temporary adhesion that is peeled off immediately after completion of etching. It is difficult to say that the cohesive strength and adhesive strength of the adhesive are sufficient.

  Also in the field of so-called touch panels, the electrodes and routing circuits provided on the upper electrode plate and the lower electrode plate are made of a metal layer containing a corrosive metal such as Ag. Adhesion and bonding with the opposite electrode plate via an insulating layer such as an adhesive layer, so that corrosion of the metal layer due to the adhesive, peeling due to adhesive cohesive strength or insufficient adhesive strength is a problem It had been.

  For example, Comparative Example 3 of Patent Document 4 includes 100 parts by weight of n-butyl acrylate, 7 parts by weight of acrylic acid, 1 part by weight of a plasticizer, 3 parts by weight of a benzotriazole-based metal corrosion inhibitor, an epoxy-based crosslinking agent (tetraglycidyl). An example of an adhesive tape using xylenediamine) is shown, and the equivalent ratio of polyfunctional compound to carboxyl group in this adhesive tape is 0.5. By using this pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, it is described that there is a certain effect regarding the occurrence of metal corrosion, but according to the study by the present inventors, when such a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is used for a touch panel, for example, The balance between corrosion resistance and adhesion to metals, especially Ag, is poor, the upper and lower electrode plates cannot be firmly bonded, and when used under harsh conditions for a long time, they may corrode from the bonded portion of the Ag electrode. I found out.

It is considered that the metal corrosion preventing ability of the component (B) is sufficiently exhibited even for the acrylic copolymer (A) having a carboxyl group introduced therein.

  Further, regarding the securing of cohesive strength and adhesive strength of the latter pressure-sensitive adhesive, since no hydroxyl group-containing monomer is used in the production of the acrylic copolymer (A), a hydroxyl group is contained in the acrylic copolymer (A).

The benzotriazole and / or its derivative (B) is usually 1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 2 to 7 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the acrylic copolymer (A). It is desirable to use it so as to be contained in the composition.
When the benzotriazole and / or derivative (B) is used in an amount within the above-mentioned range, the content of the component (B) in the finally obtained pressure-sensitive adhesive layer effectively exhibits the metal corrosion preventing ability. The amount is sufficient.

≪Epoxy crosslinking agent (C) ≫

  In the present invention, since the epoxy crosslinking agent (C) is used as the crosslinking agent as described above, the crosslinking agent and benzotriazoles react to inhibit the crosslinking reaction as in the case of using the isocyanate crosslinking agent. The acrylic copolymer (A) can be sufficiently crosslinked even with a relatively small amount of the epoxy crosslinking agent (C), and the cohesive strength of the adhesive in the finally obtained adhesive layer is improved.

  In the present invention, the epoxy crosslinking agent (C) is used in an amount within the above range with respect to the carboxyl group X in the acrylic copolymer (A), whereby the carboxyl group X is combined with the epoxy crosslinking agent (C). The crosslinking reaction is not used up completely, and a small amount of carboxyl groups remain in the acrylic copolymer (A) after the crosslinking reaction in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

The carboxyl group remaining in the acrylic copolymer (A) after the crosslinking reaction is dissociated into H ⁺ and —COO ^{− in} a wet heat environment. Among these, H ⁺ is benzotriazole and / or Because of its small amount relative to its derivative (B), it is stabilized by benzotriazole and / or its derivative (B). Therefore, even if the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the metal are left in contact with each other for a long time, the metal corrosion hardly occurs. Furthermore, since —COO 2 ^— is present in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a hydrogen bond is formed with an electron withdrawing group such as hydrogen on the surface of the adherend, and strong adhesion to the adherend is generated.

An example of a more specific structure of the metal vapor-deposited film label (in the case of (1) above) will be described below with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the metal vapor-deposited film label 1 is formed on one side of a support (release material) 3 on a metal vapor-deposited layer 7 of a metal vapor-deposited film 8 having a metal vapor-deposited layer 7 on one side of a substrate 9. A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 4 for metal vapor-deposited film, on which a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 is formed, is adhered so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 is in contact with the metal vapor-deposited layer 7.

  The metal vapor-deposited layer 7 can be formed by vapor-depositing a metal such as Al, Cu, Ag or the like on the substrate 9 in a thickness of about 500 mm, specifically 200 to 700 mm.

The cohesive strength and adhesive strength of the adhesive used are excellent, so there will be no peeling from the adherend even when used for a long time, and problems such as foaming will occur when used under high temperature and high humidity. Absent. Furthermore, because of its excellent ability to prevent metal corrosion, there is no harmful effect such as so-called vapor deposition loss due to corrosion of the metal layer, and it can be suitably used for applications such as building materials and packaging materials that require a metal layer. .

  In addition, when the metal vapor deposition film label obtained in this way has the structure of said (2), in order to protect an adhesive layer at the time of storage, the release material mentioned above is bonded together on this adhesive layer. It is preferable to keep it. The release material is peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer during use.
