【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は摺動部用シール材に関し、特に、優れた耐摩耗性を有し、しかも、装着性および相手部材への追従性も良好な摺動部用シール材に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電車などのドアの開閉駆動に用いられる空気圧シリンダ、電磁弁、または、スプール弁などにおける摺動部分、すなわち、回転や往復運動する部材(ピストン、スプール等)とこれに対面する部材(シリンダ、スリーブ等)間には、その摺動性を損なうことなく、これらの間に流れる流体を密封するために、パッキンなどのシール材が装着される。このような摺動部分に適用される、所謂、摺動部用シール材においては、摺動抵抗を受けることによって摩耗が起こり、シール性能が低下するという問題がある。従って、かかる摺動部用のシール材においては、従来から耐磨耗性を向上するために、母材となるゴム(例えば水素化ニトリルゴム)に二硫化モリブデン等の固体潤滑剤を混入して摺動抵抗を低下させたり、あるいは、アルミナ、シリカ等の無機フィラーを添加してゴムを補強することが行われている。しかしながら、かかる従来のシール材では、固体潤滑剤や無機フィラー等を配合することにより、母材となるゴム中への添加剤の分散性が問題となるとともに、ゴム弾性やゴム強度の低下が大きく、シール材の装着性(所定の装着部位への装着性)や相手部材(シール材を押接させる相手部材)への追従性が低下するといった問題がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記事情に鑑み、本発明は、優れた耐摩耗性を有し、しかも、装着性および相手部材への追従性も良好な、摺動部用シール材を提供することを目的とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は、共重合成分としてテトラフルオロエチレンを含むフッ素ゴムに特定量のカーボンブラックを配合したゴム組成物を、有機過酸化物架橋することによって、極めて摩耗が起こりにくく、しかも、装着性および相手部材への追従性も良好な摺動部用シール材が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。
【0005】
すなわち、本発明は以下の通りである。
(1)テトラフルオロエチレンを共重合成分として含有するフッ素ゴム100重量部と、カーボンブラック5〜80重量部とを含むゴム組成物を有機過酸化物架橋してなる摺動部用シール材。
(2)テトラフルオロエチレンを共重合成分として含有するフッ素ゴムが、ビニリデンフルオライド−ヘキサフルオロプロペン−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体、ビニリデンフルオライド−パーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体およびパーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)−エチレン−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体から選ばれる少なくとも1種である上記(1)記載の摺動部用シール材。
(3)65以上のタイプAデュロメータ硬さを有し、かつ、150%以上の伸びを有する上記(1)または(2)記載の摺動部用シール材。
(4)スプールパッキンである上記(1)〜(3)のいずれかに記載のシール材。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明をより詳しく説明する。
本発明の摺動部用シール材(以下、単にシール材ともいう)は、テトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)を共重合成分として含有するフッ素ゴム(以下、「TFE含有フッ素ゴム」とも略称する)に特定量のカーボンブラックを配合し、有機過酸化物架橋してなるシール材であり、極めて摩耗が起こりにくく、かつ、良好な装着性及び相手部材への追従性を有する。
【0007】
本発明で使用するテトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)を共重合成分として含有するフッ素ゴム(TFE含有フッ素ゴム)としては、ビニリデンフルオライド−ヘキサフルオロプロペン−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体、ビニリデンフルオライド−パーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体およびパーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)−エチレン−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体等が好適である。これらはいずれか1種を単独で使用しても2種以上を任意の割合で組み合わせて使用してもよい。
【0008】
当該TFE含有フッ素ゴムにおいて、テトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)の共重合量は好ましくは1〜80モル%、特に好ましくは10〜70モル%である。テトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)の共重合量が1モル%未満の場合、そのようなものを使用したシール材は耐磨耗性が低下する傾向となり、また、テトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)の共重合量が80モル%を超える場合、そのようなものを使用したシール材は、伸びが低下し、シール材として装着することが困難となり、好ましくない。かかる好ましいTFE含有フッ素ゴムの具体例としては、〔ダイエルG952(ヘキサフルオロプロペン−ビニリデンフルオライド−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体)、ダイキン社製〕、〔バイトンGF(ヘキサフルオロプロペン−ビニリデンフルオライド−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体)、デュポン・ダウエラストマー社製〕、〔バイトンETP500(パーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)−エチレン−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体)、デュポン・ダウエラストマー社製〕、〔ダイエルLT302(ビニリデンフルオライド−パーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体)、ダイキン社製〕、〔バイトンGLT(ビニリデンフルオライド−パーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)−テトラフルオロエチレン三元共重合体)、デュポン・ダウエラストマー社製〕等が挙げられる。
【0009】
本発明においてカーボンブラックの使用量は、TFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して5〜80重量部でなければならない。かかる特定の配合量によって、シール材は摺動部用シール材に好適な硬さ、伸びを発現するとともに、極めて良好な耐磨耗性を示す。カーボンブラックの使用量がTFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して5重量部未満であると、そのようなシール材は柔らかく相手部材への追従性が低下し、摺動部用シール材(パッキン)として使用できない。また、カーボンブラックの使用量がTFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して80重量部を超えると、そのようなシール材が硬くなり過ぎて、シール材の装着性が悪く、その観点から摺動部用シール材(パッキン)として使用できない。本発明において好ましいカーボンブラックの使用量はTFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して15〜60重量部であり、特に好ましくは20〜50重量部である。
【0010】
本発明で使用するカーボンブラックとしては、HAFカーボンブラック、MAFカ−ボンブラック、FEFカーボンブラック、SRFカーボンブラック、GPFカーボンブラック等のファーネスブラック;FTカーボンブラック、MTカーボンブラック等のサーマルブラック;等の公知の各種カーボンブラックを制限なく使用できるが、これらのうちでも、シール材の耐磨耗性および圧縮永久歪み特性(特に、耐磨耗性)の点からサーマルブラックが好ましい。
【0011】
本発明で使用する有機過酸化物としては、o−メチルベンゾイルパーオキサイド、ビス(3,5,5−トリメチルヘキサノイル)パーオキサイド、ラウロイルパーオキサイド、ベンゾイルパーオキサイド、t−ブチルパーオキシピバレート、t−ブチルパーオキシ−2−エチルヘキサノエート、t−ブチルパーオキシイソブチレート、ジクミルパーオキサイド、1,3−ビス(t−ブチルパーオキシイソプロピル)ベンゼン、2,5−ジメチル−2,5−ジ(t−ブチルパオーキシ)−ヘキシン−3、2,5−ジメチル−2,5−ジ(t−ブチルパオーキシ)ヘキサン、ジt−ブチルパーオキサイド等が挙げられ、これらはいずれか1種を使用しても2種以上を併用してもよい。本発明において有機過酸化物の使用量は、TFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して1〜15重量部が好ましい。有機過酸化物の使用量がTFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して1重量部未満であると、そのようなシール材は引張強さが低下する傾向となり、好ましくない。また、有機過酸化物の使用量がTFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して15重量部を超えると、そのようなシール材は伸びが低下する傾向となり、好ましくない。本発明において、有機過酸化物の使用量は、より好ましくは、TFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部に対して2〜10重量部である。
なお、TFE含有フッ素ゴムをポリオール架橋した場合、シール材の伸びが低下し、また、二次加硫後の寸法安定性に欠け、装着性、相手部材への追従性が悪いものとなってしまう。
【0012】
本発明の摺動部用シール材には、その優れた耐磨耗性、強度、伸び等を損なわない範囲で、さらなる特性向上のために、公知の充填剤、可塑剤、老化防止剤、滑剤、安定剤、架橋助剤等の添加剤を含有させてもよい。
【0013】
架橋助剤としては、マレイミド系架橋助剤、硫黄、液状ポリブタジエン、アリル系架橋助剤、メタアクリレート系架橋助等を用いることができる。マレイミド系架橋助剤としては、たとえば、N,N−m−フェニレンジマレイミドが挙げられ、アリル系架橋助剤としては、たとえばトリアリルシアヌレート、ジアリルフタレート、テトラアリルオキシエタンなどが挙げられる。またメタアクリレート系架橋助剤としては、たとえばエチレングリコールメタアクリレート、トリエチレングリコールジメタアクリレート、テトラエチレングリコールジメタアクリレート、ポリエチレングリコールジメタアクリレート、トリメチロールプロペントリメタアクリレートなどが挙げられる。架橋助剤は必要に応じて1種または2種以上を併用してもよい。架橋助剤の添加量はTFE含有フッ素ゴム100重量部当たり0〜10重量部程度が好ましく、特に好ましくは0〜5重量部である。
【0014】
本発明のシール材は、TFE含有フッ素ゴム、カーボンブラック、有機過酸化物およびその他の必要に応じて添加する添加剤を、ロール混合、ニーダ混合、バンバリ混合等の公知の混合(混練)方法で混合し、得られたゴム混合物を架橋(加硫)し、所望の形状に成形することで製造される。
【0015】
架橋(加硫)は、ゴム混合物の成形とともに、または、ゴム混合物の成形後の、いずれで行ってもよい。架橋(加硫)は一次架橋(加硫)と二次架橋(加硫)を行うのが好ましく、好ましい態様として、約140〜200℃で約1〜100分の一次架橋(加硫)を行った後、約220〜250℃で約20〜24時間の二次架橋(加硫)を行う態様が挙げられる。また、成形は、射出成形、圧縮(プレス)成形、押出成形等の公知の成形方法を使用できる。
【0016】
本発明のシール材は65以上(好ましくは75以上)のタイプAデュロメータ硬さを有しながら、150%以上の伸びを有する。当該150%以上の伸びを有することで、優れた装着性を示す。また、本発明において、シール材のタイプAデュロメータ硬さは90以下が好ましい。タイプAデュロメータ硬さが90を超えると、目的の良好な装着性が得られない。
【0017】
また、本発明のシール材は10MPa以上の引張強さを有する。引張強さが10MPa以上であることで、装着時の引き伸ばしによるシール材の破断が防止され、また、シール材が急激な引張り等を受けたときのシール材の損傷(破断)が防止される。
【0018】
本発明において、上記シール材のタイプAデュロメータ硬さはJIS K 6253に準拠にした方法で、伸びおよび引張強さはJIS K 6251に準拠した方法で測定される。
【0019】
本発明の摺動部用シール材は、適用すべき摺動部の構造に応じて各種の形状に成形できるが、空気圧シリンダ、電磁弁、スプール弁などにおける摺動部分、すなわち、回転や往復運動するピストン、スプールに装着するパッキン(Oリング)に好適であり、スプールパッキンに特に好適である。すなわち、スプールパッキンは外径が1〜2cm、断面(円)の直径は0.1〜0.5cmの極めて小径のOリングで、スプール弁体の凹溝に装着して使用されるが、小径のOリングであるが故に、その装着の際には容易に拡径できる伸張性がないと装着しにくく、また、拡径した時の引張に対して十分な強度がないと切断(破断)してしまう。本発明のシール材をスプールパッキンに使用することで、切断(破断)等を生じることなくスプール弁体に容易に装着でき、しかも、実使用時には、摩耗が極めて低減され、しかも、急激な引張り等にも十分な耐性を示し、良好なシール性能が長期間持続する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sliding part sealing material, and more particularly, to a sliding part sealing material having excellent wear resistance, and having good wearability and followability to a mating member.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Sliding parts of pneumatic cylinders, solenoid valves, spool valves, etc. used to open and close doors in trains, that is, members that rotate or reciprocate (pistons, spools, etc.) and members that face them (cylinders, sleeves) In order to seal the fluid flowing between them without losing their slidability, a sealing material such as packing is attached. In the so-called sliding portion sealing material applied to such sliding portions, there is a problem that wear occurs due to sliding resistance and the sealing performance deteriorates. Therefore, in order to improve the wear resistance of such a sealing material for sliding parts, a solid lubricant such as molybdenum disulfide is mixed into the base rubber (for example, hydrogenated nitrile rubber). The rubber is reinforced by reducing sliding resistance or adding an inorganic filler such as alumina or silica. However, in such a conventional sealing material, by adding a solid lubricant, an inorganic filler, etc., the dispersibility of the additive in the rubber as a base material becomes a problem, and the rubber elasticity and the rubber strength are greatly reduced. In addition, there is a problem that the mounting property of the sealing material (mounting property to a predetermined mounting site) and the followability to the mating member (the mating member that presses the sealing material) are reduced.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding member sealing material that has excellent wear resistance and also has good wearability and good followability to a mating member.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventors of the present invention are extremely less likely to wear by crosslinking an organic peroxide with a rubber composition in which a specific amount of carbon black is blended with a fluororubber containing tetrafluoroethylene as a copolymerization component. And it discovered that the sealing material for sliding parts with favorable followable | trackability to a counterpart member was obtained, and came to complete this invention.
[0005]
That is, the present invention is as follows.
(1) A sealing material for a sliding portion obtained by crosslinking an organic peroxide with a rubber composition containing 100 parts by weight of fluororubber containing tetrafluoroethylene as a copolymerization component and 5 to 80 parts by weight of carbon black.
(2) A fluororubber containing tetrafluoroethylene as a copolymerization component is a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) -tetrafluoroethylene ternary. The sealing material for a sliding part according to the above (1), which is at least one selected from a copolymer and a perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) -ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer.
(3) The sliding part sealing material according to the above (1) or (2), which has a type A durometer hardness of 65 or more and an elongation of 150% or more.
(4) The sealing material according to any one of (1) to (3), which is a spool packing.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
The sliding part sealing material of the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as a sealing material) is specified as a fluoro rubber containing tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) as a copolymer component (hereinafter also abbreviated as “TFE-containing fluoro rubber”). It is a sealing material formed by blending an amount of carbon black and crosslinked with an organic peroxide, is extremely resistant to wear, and has good wearability and followability to a mating member.
[0007]
Examples of the fluororubber (TFE-containing fluororubber) containing tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) used as a copolymerization component in the present invention include vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride- Perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) -tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer and perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) -ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer are preferred. Any one of these may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination at any ratio.
[0008]
In the TFE-containing fluororubber, the copolymerization amount of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is preferably 1 to 80 mol%, particularly preferably 10 to 70 mol%. When the copolymerization amount of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is less than 1 mol%, the seal material using such a component tends to have a reduced wear resistance, and the copolymerization amount of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) When the amount exceeds 80 mol%, a sealing material using such a material is not preferable because elongation decreases and it is difficult to mount as a sealing material. Specific examples of such preferable TFE-containing fluororubber include [Daiel G952 (hexafluoropropene-vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer), manufactured by Daikin Corporation], [Viton GF (hexafluoropropene-vinylidene fluoride). -Tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer), manufactured by DuPont Dow Elastomer Co., Ltd.] [Viton ETP500 (perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) -ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer), manufactured by DuPont Dow Elastomer Co., Ltd.), [Daiel LT302 (vinylidene fluoride-perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) -tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer), manufactured by Daikin Ltd.], [Viton GLT (vinylidene fluoride-perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) ) - tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer), include DuPont Dow Elastomers Co.] and the like.
[0009]
In this invention, the usage-amount of carbon black must be 5-80 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of TFE containing fluororubber. With such a specific blending amount, the sealing material exhibits hardness and elongation suitable for the sliding member sealing material, and exhibits extremely good wear resistance. When the amount of carbon black used is less than 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the TFE-containing fluororubber, such a sealing material is soft and the followability to the mating member is lowered, and the sliding part sealing material (packing) Cannot be used as Further, if the amount of carbon black used exceeds 80 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the TFE-containing fluororubber, such a sealing material becomes too hard, and the mounting property of the sealing material is poor. Cannot be used as a sealing material (packing). In the present invention, the carbon black is preferably used in an amount of 15 to 60 parts by weight, particularly preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the TFE-containing fluororubber.
[0010]
The carbon black used in the present invention includes furnace black such as HAF carbon black, MAF carbon black, FEF carbon black, SRF carbon black, GPF carbon black, etc .; thermal black such as FT carbon black, MT carbon black, etc. Various known carbon blacks can be used without limitation, but among these, thermal black is preferable from the viewpoint of the wear resistance and compression set characteristics (particularly, wear resistance) of the sealing material.
[0011]
Examples of the organic peroxide used in the present invention include o-methylbenzoyl peroxide, bis (3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate, t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, t-butylperoxyisobutyrate, dicumyl peroxide, 1,3-bis (t-butylperoxyisopropyl) benzene, 2,5-dimethyl-2, 5-di (t-butyl peroxy) -hexyne-3, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di (t-butyl peroxy) hexane, di-t-butyl peroxide and the like are used, and any one of them is used. Or you may use 2 or more types together. In the present invention, the amount of the organic peroxide used is preferably 1 to 15 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the TFE-containing fluororubber. When the amount of the organic peroxide used is less than 1 part by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the TFE-containing fluororubber, such a sealing material tends to decrease the tensile strength, which is not preferable. Moreover, when the usage-amount of an organic peroxide exceeds 15 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of TFE containing fluororubbers, such a sealing material will become the tendency for elongation to fall, and is unpreferable. In the present invention, the amount of the organic peroxide used is more preferably 2 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the TFE-containing fluororubber.
In addition, when the TFE-containing fluororubber is cross-linked with polyol, the elongation of the sealing material is reduced, the dimensional stability after secondary vulcanization is lacking, and the wearability and followability to the mating member are poor. .
[0012]
The sealing material for sliding parts of the present invention is a known filler, plasticizer, anti-aging agent, lubricant for further improvement of properties within a range that does not impair its excellent wear resistance, strength, elongation, etc. Further, additives such as a stabilizer and a crosslinking aid may be contained.
[0013]
As the crosslinking aid, maleimide-based crosslinking aid, sulfur, liquid polybutadiene, allyl-based crosslinking aid, methacrylate-based crosslinking aid, or the like can be used. Examples of the maleimide-based crosslinking aid include N, N-m-phenylene dimaleimide, and examples of the allyl-based crosslinking aid include triallyl cyanurate, diallyl phthalate, and tetraallyloxyethane. Examples of the methacrylate crosslinking aid include ethylene glycol methacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and trimethylolpropene trimethacrylate. The crosslinking aids may be used alone or in combination of two or more as required.
