Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、耐油性及び耐熱性に優れるゴム組成物並びにその加硫物に関するものである。
【従来の技術】
エチレン−α−オレフィン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴムは、主鎖に不飽和基を持たず、天然ゴムやブタジエンゴムなどの汎用のジエン系ゴムに比較し、耐熱性に優れているため、自動車用部品、自動車用の水系ホース、ウエザーストリップ、電線などの製品に広く使用されている。一方、近年は自動車のエンジンルーム内は、居住空間の拡大によるエンジンルームの縮小、前輪駆動化、騒音対策、排ガス規制の対応等により、温度が高くなっている。そこで、高温雰囲気下でエンジンオイル等のオイルに対して膨潤しない、すなわち、高温での耐油性に優れ且つ耐熱性に優れたゴム組成物及びその製品が要求されるようになった。しかし、たとえば、非油展のエチレン−α−オレフィン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴムを用い、通常の硫黄加硫系または有機過酸化物加硫系でなるコンパウンドを加硫しただけでは、高温における耐油性及び耐熱性に限界があるため、改善する必要があった。
【0002】
また、ハロゲン系ゴムは耐油性に優れているが、近年は環境問題等から、ハロゲンを含まないゴム、たとえば、エチレン−α−オレフィン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴムへの代替要求が高まってきている。
【0003】
このような問題を解決するために、エチレン−プロピレン系共重合体ゴムにシリコーンゴムをブレンドする方法が、特許文献1に提案されている。しかしながらこの方法では、耐油性及び耐熱性のレベルは高く且つ改良はされるが、コストが高くなる問題があった。

すなわち、本発明は、加硫剤に(E)を用い、老化防止剤(F)を添加し、エチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴム100重量部にカーボン、伸展油オイル、プロセスオイル、充填剤、酸化亜鉛、ステアリン酸、老化防止剤(F)、加硫剤(E)及び加硫助剤等の配合剤を加えた総部数が300部〜450部であるエチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴム組成物であり、エチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴムのエチレン/プロピレンのモル比が0.75/0.25〜0.90/0.10であり、非共役ジエンが5−エチリデン−2−ノルボルネン及び/又はジシクロペンタジエン、又は5−ビニルノルボルネンであり、エチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴムの沃素価は、非共役ジエンが5−エチリデン−2−ノルボルネン及び/又はジシクロペンタジエンの場合、12〜30であり、非共役ジエンが5−ビニルノルボルネンの場合、5〜20であり、有機過酸化物の添加量は、非共役ジエンが5−エチリデン−2−ノルボルネン及び/又はジシクロペンタジエンの場合、エチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴム100重量部に対し、有機過酸化物40%品で10〜45重量部であり、非共役ジエンが5−ビニルノルボルネンの場合、エチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴム100重量部に対し、有機過酸化物40%品で3〜30重量部であり、老化防止剤の添加量は、エチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴム100重量部に対し、0.5〜2重量部であるエチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴム組成物並びにその加硫物に係るものである。

【0007】
【発明の実態の形態】
本発明のエチレン−プロピレン−非共役ジエン系共重合体ゴム(以降EPDMとする。)は、エチレン/プロピレンのモル比は0.75/0.25〜0.90/0.10であり、好ましくは0.80/0.20〜0.90/0.10である。エチレン含量が過少であると強度が低く、一方エチレン含量が過多であると加工性が悪化する。
【0008】
EPDMの非共役ジエンとしては、たとえば1,4−ヘキサジエン、1,6−オクタジエン、2−メチル−1,5−ヘキサジエン、6−メチル−1,5−ヘプタジエン、7−メチル−1,6−オクタジエンなどのような鎖状非共役ジエン;シクロヘキサジエン、ジシクロペンタジエン、メチルテトラインデン、5−ビニルノルボルネン、5−エチリデン−2−ノルボルネン、6−クロロメチル−5−イソプロペニル−2−ノルボルネンのような環状非共役ジエンがあげられ、その一種を単独で使用してもよく、又は二種以上を併用してもよい。なお、共重合反応性と架橋反応速度の観点から、5−エチリデン−2−ノルボルネン及び/又はジシクロペンタジエン、又は5−ビニルノルボルネンが好ましい。
【0009】
EPDMの非共役ジエンの沃素価は5〜30である。非共役ジエンを5−エチリデン−2−ノルボルネン及び/又はジシクロペンタジエンにした場合の沃素価は12〜30であり、好ましくは12〜25である。また、非共役ジエンを5−ビニルノルボルネンにした場合の沃素価は5〜20であり、好ましくは8〜18である。沃素価が低すぎると耐油試験の体積変化率に劣り、一方沃素価が高すぎると引張破断伸びが低下し、且つ、耐熱性に劣る。
【0010】
EPDMの135℃テトラリン中で測定した極限粘度〔η〕は1.5〜5であり、好ましくは2〜5である。極限粘度〔η〕が低すぎると引張破断伸びが低く、一方極限粘度〔η〕が高すぎるとロール加工性が困難となる。
【0011】
本発明の組成物及びその加硫物の物性の範囲は、(A)、(B)、(C)及び(D)である。
(A):JIS K6258に記載の耐油試験(加硫ゴムの浸漬方法)に準じた試験であって、試験油はIRM903、試験温度125℃、試験時間70時間の条件において、体積変化率が+70%以下、引張破断強度変化率が−50%以上、引張破断伸び変化率が−60%以上、硬度変化が−30以上
(B):JIS K6257に記載の耐熱性試験(加硫ゴムの老化試験方法)に準じた試験であって、ギアーオーブンを用い、試験温度150℃、試験時間70時間の条件において、引張破断強度変化率が−20%以上、引張破断伸び変化率が−35%以上、硬度変化が+15以下
(C):JIS K6251に記載の引張試験(加硫ゴムの引張試験方法)に準じた試験であって、引張破断強度が10MPa以上、引張破断伸びが200%以上
(D):JIS K6253に記載の硬度試験(加硫ゴム及び熱可塑性ゴムの硬さ試験方法)に準じた試験であって、デュロメーターAでの硬度が60〜80
【0012】
本発明の(E)は、有機過酸化物であり、その種類に制限はない。中でも、ジクミルパーオキサイド、2,5−ジメチル−2,5−ジ(t−ブチルパーオキシ)ヘキサン、α,α’−ビス(t−ブチルパーオキシイソプロピル)ベンゼン、1,1−ビス(t−ブチルパーオキシ)−3,3,5−トリメチルシクロヘキサン、n−ブチル−4,4−ビス(t−ブチルパーオキシ)バレレートが加硫温度と時間の関係から好ましい。
【0013】
有機過酸化物(E)の添加量は、EPDMの非共役ジエンの種類で異なり、非共役ジエンが5−エチリデン−2−ノルボルネン及び/又はジシクロペンタジエンの場合は、有機過酸化物40%品で、EPDM100重量部に対し10〜45重量部であり、好ましくは15〜45重量部である。一方、EPDMの非共役ジエンが5−ビニルノルボルネンの場合は、有機過酸化物40%品で、EPDM100重量部に対し3〜30重量部であり、好ましくは5〜25重量部である。有機過酸化物の添加量が過少また過多であると、引張破断伸びと耐油試験の体積変化率とのバランスが悪化する。
【0014】
本発明の(F)は、老化防止剤であり、その種類に制限はない。中でも、2−メルカプトベンズイミダゾール、2−メルカプトメチルベンズイミダゾール、2,2,4−トリメチル−1,2−ジヒドロキノリンの重合物、テトラキス−(メチレン−3−(3’,5’−ジ−t−ブチル−4’−ヒドロキシフェニル)プロピオネート)メタン、n−オクタデシル−3−(4’−ヒドロキシ−3’,5’−ジ−t−ブチルフェニル)プロピオネートが耐熱性改良の観点から好ましい。老化防止剤(F)の添加量は、EPDM100重量部に対し、0.5〜2重量部である。過少であると耐熱性に劣り、過多であると加硫阻害となり耐油試験の体積変化率が悪化する。
【0015】
本発明のEPDM100重量部に対する、老化防止剤(F)、加硫剤(E)及びその他の配合剤の総部数は、300部〜450部である。その他の配合剤とは、カーボン、伸展油オイル、プロセスオイル、充填剤、酸化亜鉛、ステアリン酸、及び加硫助剤等である。更には、活性剤、加工性改良剤、物性改良剤及びポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等の熱可塑性樹脂を含んでいてもよい。総部数が過少あると、耐油試験の体積変化率が悪化し、一方過多であると、引張破断強度と引張伸びのバランスが低下する。
【0016】
混練時に添加するプロセスオイルは、有機過酸化物(E)の加硫阻害を防止する観点から、硫黄分が100重量ppm以下のプロセスオイルが好ましく、20重量ppm以下が更に好ましい。また、製造後の乾燥工程の前に添加される伸展油については、硫黄分が少ない方が好ましいが制限はない。
【0017】
また、加硫剤の有機過酸化物(E)を用いる場合は、架橋効率を向上させるため、通常架橋助剤を併用する。架橋助剤の例としては、p,p’−ジベンゾイルキノンジオキシウム、キノンジオキシウム、トリアリルシアヌレート、エチレングリコールジメタクリレート、N,N’−m−フェニレンビスマレイミド、トリメチロールプロパントリメタクリレート、アクリル酸金属塩等があげられる。その含有割合はEPDM100重量部に対し1〜8重量部である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rubber composition excellent in oil resistance and heat resistance and a vulcanized product thereof.
[Prior art]
The ethylene-α-olefin-nonconjugated diene copolymer rubber does not have an unsaturated group in the main chain, and is superior in heat resistance compared to general-purpose diene rubbers such as natural rubber and butadiene rubber. Widely used in products such as automotive parts, automotive water hoses, weather strips, and electric wires. On the other hand, in recent years, the temperature in the engine room of automobiles has increased due to the reduction of the engine room due to the expansion of the living space, the driving of front wheels, noise countermeasures, compliance with exhaust gas regulations, and the like. Therefore, a rubber composition and a product thereof that do not swell with oil such as engine oil in a high temperature atmosphere, that is, excellent in oil resistance at high temperature and excellent in heat resistance, have been demanded. However, for example, by using a non-oil-extended ethylene-α-olefin-nonconjugated diene copolymer rubber and vulcanizing a compound composed of an ordinary sulfur vulcanization system or an organic peroxide vulcanization system, The oil resistance and heat resistance at the end are limited, so there was a need to improve them.
[0002]
In addition, halogen-based rubbers are excellent in oil resistance. However, in recent years, due to environmental problems and the like, there has been an increasing demand for substitutes for halogen-free rubbers such as ethylene-α-olefin-nonconjugated diene copolymer rubbers. ing.
[0003]
In order to solve such a problem, Patent Document 1 proposes a method of blending silicone rubber with ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber. However, this method has a problem that the level of oil resistance and heat resistance is high and improved, but the cost becomes high.

Is 0.80 / 0.20-0.90 / 0.10. If the ethylene content is too low, the strength is low, whereas if the ethylene content is too high, the workability deteriorates.
[0008]
Examples of non-conjugated dienes of EPDM include 1,4-hexadiene, 1,6-octadiene, 2-methyl-1,5-hexadiene, 6-methyl-1,5-heptadiene, 7-methyl-1,6-octadiene. Chain non-conjugated dienes such as cyclohexadiene, dicyclopentadiene, methyltetraindene, 5-vinylnorbornene, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene, 6-chloromethyl-5-isopropenyl-2-norbornene Examples thereof include cyclic non-conjugated dienes, one of which may be used alone, or two or more thereof may be used in combination. From the viewpoint of copolymerization reactivity and crosslinking reaction rate, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene and / or dicyclopentadiene or 5-vinylnorbornene is preferable.
[0009]
The iodine value of the non-conjugated diene of EPDM is 5-30. When the non-conjugated diene is 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene and / or dicyclopentadiene, the iodine value is 12 to 30, preferably 12 to 25. When the non-conjugated diene is 5-vinylnorbornene, the iodine value is 5 to 20, preferably 8 to 18. If the iodine value is too low, the volume change rate in the oil resistance test is inferior. On the other hand, if the iodine value is too high, the tensile elongation at break decreases and the heat resistance is inferior.
[0010]
The intrinsic viscosity [η] measured in 135 ° C tetralin of EPDM is 1.5 to 5, preferably 2 to 5. If the intrinsic viscosity [η] is too low, the tensile elongation at break is low, whereas if the intrinsic viscosity [η] is too high, roll processability becomes difficult.
