Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an epoxy resin composition capable of clearly printing by laser irradiation without reducing electrical characteristics by blending a resin composition comprising an epoxy resin, curing agent, filler, etc., with lead hydroxycarbonate. CONSTITUTION:(A) An epoxy resin composition comprising an epoxy resin (e.g. bisphenol A type epoxy resin), a curing agent (e.g. 2-methylimidazole), a filler (e.g. crystalline silica power), etc., is blended with (B) 0.5-20wt.% based on the composition of lead hydroxycarbonate having preferably <=100mum average particle diameter to give an epoxy resin composition suitable for laser printing. When the prepared composition is irradiated with laser in a pattern state, the component B (white) in the composition only in part irradiated with laser is changed into lead (IV) oxide to show black so that a pattern can be clearly printed.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is used for insulating coatings of electrical and electronic components, and is capable of clearly marking the surface of the insulating coating by laser irradiation. This article concerns epoxy resin soles. [Prior Art] Conventionally, thermosetting ink or ultraviolet curable ink has been used to mark characteristics and model numbers on electrical and electronic components insulated with epoxy resin bottoms. , there is a need for a method that can print in a shorter time to streamline the process. As one way to address this issue, a printing system that uses laser irradiation is attracting attention. In this laser printing system, the part of the text or pattern that is irradiated with the laser changes color due to thermal energy, or the part that is irradiated sublimates and becomes roughened, and the text or pattern can be identified by the scattering of light. , the printing time of this method is 0.0
The curing time is less than 1 second, which is significantly shorter than conventional heat or ultraviolet curable inks, which require several minutes to several IO minutes to cure. However, when laser irradiation was applied to the conventional epoxy resin insulating coating of U-Kaimono, the coating surface was simply roughened, no discoloration occurred, and clear characters and patterns could not be printed. Recently, it has been discovered that when yellow ferric hydroxide is added to a conventional epoxy resin composite, the color changes from yellow to brown when irradiated with a laser (JP-A-62-50360
Public bulletin). However, since ferric hydroxide is yellow, it can only be used for hues such as yellow and orange;
In particular, black laser printing on a light-colored base is
This has been considered a future issue. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention was developed as a result of intensive research aimed at obtaining a resin that changes color from bright colors such as blue, red, and green to black using a laser, which was previously impossible. They discovered that when lead is added, the color changes from white to black when irradiated with a laser, and based on this knowledge, various studies were conducted and the present invention was completed. An object of the present invention is to provide an epoxy resin composition that provides a cured product that can be clearly printed on the resin surface by laser irradiation without degrading electrical properties or other properties. be. [Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention relates to a laser-printed epoxy resin composite characterized by containing lead hydroxy carbonate. The reason for using lead hydroxy carbonate in the epoxy resin composition of the present invention will be described below. Hydroxylead carbonate is a white powder that, when heated, produces 2
Dehydrated and decarboxylated at 00 to 350℃ to lead (IV) oxide,
It changes and becomes black. Therefore, when a laser beam is irradiated on an epoxy resin bottom containing hydroxylead carbonate in the form of letters or patterns,
The resin surface is heated by the thermal energy of the laser, and the hydroxylead carbonate contained in the resin undergoes the above chemical reaction, resulting in a black color. In other words, only the part that is irradiated by the laser becomes black, and the part that is not irradiated remains white.
It is possible to clearly print black characters and patterns on a white background. The average particle size of the hydroxylead carbonate used in the present invention is preferably 100 μm or less. The reason for this is that when hydroxylead carbonate is mixed and dispersed in an epoxy resin composition, if the average particle size is 100 μm or more, it will not only cause spots on the surface when coated on electronic and electrical parts, but also reduce the commercial value of the parts. Dispersion tends to be insufficient, and when irradiated with a laser, discoloration does not occur in areas where hydroxylead carbonate is not present, and characters and patterns may be interrupted and clear printing may not be possible. The average particle diameter is suitably determined by weight-averaging the particle size distribution obtained using a Coulter Counter (manufactured by Nikkaki ■), but it may also be determined by a measuring method other than the Coulter Counter. The content of lead hydroxy carbonate is preferably 0.5 to 20% by weight. The reason for this is that the content is 0. If it is less than 5% by weight, the degree of discoloration will be small even when laser is irradiated, and clear printing will not be possible.On the other hand, if it exceeds 20% by weight, the electrical insulation properties of the resin composite material will decrease, making it difficult to use as an insulating material for electronic and electrical parts. This is because it becomes difficult to satisfy the original performance. Examples of the epoxy resin used in the present invention include dicrycidyl ether type epoxy resins such as bisphenol A type epoxy resin and bisphenol F type epoxy resin, novolac type epoxy resins such as phenol novolac type epoxy resin, and Talesol novolac type epoxy resin; Examples include, but are not limited to, glycidyl ester type epoxy resins, glycidyl ester type epoxy resins, linear aliphatic type epoxy resins, cyclic epoxy resins, and halogenated epoxy resins. As the curing agent and curing accelerator used in the present invention, there are acid anhydrides, polyamines, novolac type phenolic resins, tertiary amines, imidazole compounds, etc., and any of them may be used.
