The present invention relates to a novel method for producing an emulsion polymer, and more particularly to a method for producing an emulsion polymer having a high solid content, low viscosity, and excellent dispersion stability. Traditionally, emulsion polymers useful as pressure-sensitive adhesives are
The presence of a carboxylic acid group is considered essential due to the required physical properties, and acrylic acid has been widely used as an essential monomer for this purpose. However, if an emulsion copolymer of this kind is produced with a high solid content, the resulting product will only have extremely high viscosity or lack dispersion stability. For this reason, when conventional emulsion polymers with low solids content are used, drying is slow, and when emulsion polymers with high solids content are used, coating suitability and
There was a problem with the lack of workability. In order to solve the above problems, the present inventor conducted extensive research to obtain an emulsion polymer with high solid content, low viscosity, and excellent dispersion stability. 15-45% by weight of vinyl acid and 2-7% by weight of polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid
By using a non-crosslinked aqueous resin dispersion obtained by emulsion polymerization as a seed polymer, a polymerizable unsaturated monomer containing 0.3 to 1.5% by weight of divinylbenzene is polymerized in multiple stages, for example, a high solids content of 55% by weight or more can be obtained. However, it was found that an emulsion polymer with a low viscosity of 1300 CPS or less and excellent dispersion stability can be obtained, and this led to the present invention. In the present invention, when the amount of polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid as a monomer component of the seed polymer is less than 2% by weight, the viscosity of the obtained emulsion polymer increases, and
Exceeding this percentage by weight is undesirable because it lacks dispersion stability and may cause cohesive failure. Moreover, when an unsaturated dibasic acid is used as a monomer component containing a carboxylic acid group to increase the solid content, an emulsion polymer with even lower viscosity and excellent dispersion stability can be obtained. In the present invention, as the polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid, for example, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, etc. are used. In the present invention, examples of acrylic esters used as other monomer components of the seed polymer include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate,
Esters such as decyl and lauryl, and examples of vinyl carboxylates include one or more of vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl caproate, vinyl versatate, and vinyl stearate. be able to. For the seed polymer, the type and blending ratio of each monomer are determined in consideration of dispersion stability and physical properties when applied to pressure-sensitive adhesives, so that the glass transition point (Tg) is between -20℃ and -60℃. It is preferable to
It is preferable to select the acrylic acid ester in an amount of 50 to 80% by weight and the vinyl carboxylate in an amount of 15 to 45% by weight. The emulsion polymerization method for obtaining an aqueous resin dispersion as a seed polymer may be a conventional method, and an appropriate amount of a nonionic surfactant such as polyoxyethylene phenyl ether or polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, or an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is used. A redox system containing one or more emulsifiers selected from anionic surfactants such as sodium, sodium alkyl sulfate, and sodium polyoxyethylene alkyl phenol ether sulfonate, as well as ammonium persulfate and, if necessary, sodium bisulfite. A water-soluble polymerization initiator such as the following is used. In the present invention, the polymerizable unsaturated monomer is carboxyl if 60% by weight or more of it is an acrylic ester having 9 or more carbon atoms, such as hexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, octyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, etc. An emulsion polymer that effectively exhibits the cohesive force of the acid and compensates for the non-adhesiveness of the vinyl carboxylate is obtained, which is preferable as a pressure-sensitive adhesive. At this time, by using divinylbenzene in an amount of 0.3 to 1.5% by weight of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer,
It can effectively improve the physical properties of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, mainly the cohesive force, and is also extremely effective in reducing the viscosity of the emulsion polymer. If divinylbenzene is used during the production of the seed polymer, a stable aqueous resin dispersion cannot be obtained, and it is essential to add it at the second stage or later. Generally, partially crosslinking a polymer using divinylbenzene is a well-known technique, but a major feature of the present invention is that it is used in the second and subsequent stages of emulsion polymerization. The amount of divinylbenzene to be used is preferably in the range of 0.3 to 1.5% by weight of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer used in the second and subsequent stages; if it is less than 0.3% by weight, it is not effective in reducing the viscosity, and if it exceeds 1.5% by weight, This is not preferred because a large amount of aggregates are generated during production and a stable aqueous resin dispersion cannot be obtained. Other polymerizable unsaturated monomers include polymerizable unsaturated acids such as acrylic acid, maleic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate,
There are acrylic acid esters such as 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and lauryl acrylate, amides such as (meth)acrylamide, N-methylol (meth)acrylamide, and N-butoxy (meth)acrylamide, and styrenes such as styrene and styrene derivatives. . In the present invention, the solid weight ratio of the seed polymer to the polymerizable unsaturated monomer is 100/20 to 200, preferably 100/40 to 85. In the present invention, multi-step polymerization is the polymerization of a polymerizable unsaturated monomer in the presence of a seed polymer as described above, and the polymerization of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer is carried out in one or two steps by linking to that of the seed polymer. That's all for now. Industrially, it is preferred to polymerize the polymerizable unsaturated monomer in one step in the presence of a seed polymer, ie, a two-step polymerization overall. By carrying out the present invention, the above-mentioned effects can be obtained, and at the same time, it is also effective in reducing the amount of monomer remaining during the production of the seed polymer. The present invention will be specifically explained below using Examples and Comparative Examples. Example: Chubu means parts by weight.
