Description
- The present invention relates to an α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal and a method for producing the same. Use of this crystal provides a composition having excellent solubility when a liquid composition is formed and difficulty in precipitating a crystal during long term storage, and provides a cured product having excellent transparency, high heat resistance, and high light resistance when the composition is cured by heating.
- These compositions provide a transparent coating film which is applicable to a protection film and the like. A transparent composite sheet and a transparent composite film can be obtained by bonding transparent substrates. A glass cloth-reinforced transparent substrate can be obtained by curing a glass cloth in combination with the composition whose refractive index is matched with the refractive index of the glass cloth. This glass cloth-reinforced transparent substrate can be used as a lightweight substrate for replacing glass.
- It has been known that tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate can provide a cured product having excellent transparency, heat resistance, and light resistance by curing tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate with a curing agent such as a carboxylic acid anhydride.
- However, common tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate contains 25% by mass of β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and 75% by mass of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate. β-type is a crystal having a high melting point of about 150° C. and significantly low solubility. Consequently, when a homogenous composition dissolved with a solvent is intended to be formed from a curable composition containing the common tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and a liquid carboxylic acid anhydride, the tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate is not dissolved. Even when the common tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate is dissolved, crystal is precipitated over time. Therefore, only limited liquid carboxylic acid anhydrides can be used and the curable composition cannot be stored. Consequently, the applicable range of tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate has been limited.
- The α-type and β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate have been disclosed as follows.
- Tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate has three asymmetric carbons. A crystal formed of an equimolar mixture of (2R,2′R,2″R)-tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and (2S,2′S,2″S)-tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate, in which the three asymmetric carbons have the same chirality, is generally called a β-type crystal. It has been known that the β-type crystal is a crystal having a high melting point of about 150° C. This is because these two enantiomers in a pair form a molecule lattice having strong 6 hydrogen bonds each other and thus forms a crystal lattice. The β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal not only has the high melting point but also has significantly low solubility to various solvents. This β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and the method for producing the same are disclosed (refer to Patent Document 1).
- On the contrary, a crystal formed of a mixture of (2R,2R,2S)-tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and (2S,2S,2R)-tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate, in which only one of the three asymmetric carbons has different optical anisotropy, is generally called an α-type crystal. The α-type crystal has different crystal structure from the β-type crystal described above and thus has a low melting point of about 100° C. This α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and the method for producing the same are also disclosed (refer to Patent Document 2).

- TEPIC (registered trademark, manufactured by NISSAN CHEMICAL INDUSTREIS, LTD.) that is obtained by a usual synthesis method is obtained as a mixture of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate, in theory, in a ratio of 75% by mole and 25% by mole, respectively.
- β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate generally has low solubility to an organic solvent and β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate may be precipitated during long term storage.
- By contrast, in the present invention, a solution in which α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal, which is stable in a solution state, is dissolved can be obtained by solid-liquid separation of β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate, which is highly crystallized, from the solution state of tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
- As a further stabilization method according to the present invention, the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal obtained by the above method contains β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate on the surface and in the inside of the crystal. However, the existing amount of β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate near the surface of the crystal, which relates to solubility to the solvent, is reduced by extracting β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate mainly from near the surface of the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal with the solvent. Thus, the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal, which has significantly high solubility, can be obtained by this stabilization method.
- Thus obtained α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal contains β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate in the inside of the crystal in a ratio of 2% by mass to 15% by mass, 2% by mass to 10% by mass, 3% by mass to 15% by mass, 3% by mass to 10% by mass, or 4% by mass to 10% by mass.
- By using the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal of the present invention, a composition that is homogeneous and can be stored for a long period can be obtained. In addition, the crystal is easily dissolved into solvents and various curing agents. The crystal has excellent compatibility to amines, phenol-based substances, acid anhydrides, carboxylic acids, mercaptans, isocyanates, and polyvalent functional compounds and polyvalent functional macromolecules thereof, which have been known as general epoxy curing agents, and thus a curable composition containing the crystal and the curing agent provides a cured products having excellent homogeneity when the curable composition is cured with the curing agent.
- In addition, the cured product has excellent transparency, heat resistance, and light resistance.
- The present invention provides an α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal containing β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate in the crystal in a ratio of 2% by mass to 15% by mass.
- Specifically, the present invention provides the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal in which the ratio of contained β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate is in a range of 2% by mass to 15% by mass, 2% by mass to 10% by mass, 3% by mass to 15% by mass, 3% by mass to 10% by mass, or 4% by mass to 10% by mass. In other words, the content ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate in the crystal is 98% by mass to 85% by mass, 98% by mass to 90% by mass, 97% by mass to 85% by mass, 97% by mass to 90% by mass, or 96% by mass to 90% by mass.
- The crystal is the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal having a particle diameter of 1 μm to 500 μm or 1 μm to 100 μm.
- β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate is a crystal having a high melting point of about 150° C. and significantly low solubility and thus the content thereof is preferably 15% by weight or less. A content of more than 15% by weight is not preferable because the solubility of the crystal into solvents becomes significantly low. On the other hand, excessively low content of β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate results in high melting point and low solubility. This is because crystallization property is improved due to increase in the purity of α-form and thus the degree of crystallinity is increased. This causes reduction in dissolution rate and results in low solubility. The content of β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate in the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal of the present invention is preferably in a ratio of 2% by weight to 15% by weight, preferably 2% by mass to 10% by mass, and preferably 3% by mass to 10% by mass. From the viewpoint of satisfying both preferable melting point and high solubility in use, the preferable range is 4% by mass to 10% by mass, 4% by mass to 8% by mass, 2% by mass to 10% by mass, or 2% by mass to 8% by mass.
- The method for producing the crystal of the present invention includes (i) separating β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate contained in a tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate solution from the solution as a solid to obtain a crystal with an increased content ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
- In the method for producing the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal of the present invention, the crystal is obtained by separating β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate, which is usually contained in tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate in a ratio of 25% by mass, as an insoluble component in the solvent. In other words, the crystal is obtained by a method of dissolving α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate into a solvent, removing undissolved β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate by filtration, and removing the solvent from this solution.
- The solvent used in this method is not limited. A solvent having higher solubility to α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and lower solubility to β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate, that is, a solvent having large solubility difference between them is preferable.
- Examples of the solvent may include methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, and epichlorohydrin.
- Subsequently to (i), the method for producing the crystal includes (ii) extracting β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate contained in the crystal or the solution of the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate obtained in (i) with a solvent to obtain a crystal with an increased content ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
- The extraction in (ii) can be carried out by using a heated solvent, a solvent at normal temperature, or a cooled solvent.
- The heating temperature of the solvent is from a temperature of 10° C. or more higher than room temperature or normal temperature (20° C.) to a temperature equal to or lower than the boiling point of the solvent used at normal pressure. The temperature is preferably a temperature close to the boiling point of the solvent used at normal pressure. The cooled solvent can be used from a temperature 10° C. or more lower than room temperature or normal temperature (20° C.) to a temperature of about −100° C.
- β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate is extracted from the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal containing 15% by mass or less of β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate obtained by the above method with the solvent and thus a crystal having even higher content ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate can be produced. In other words, in this method, the content ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate can be increased by extracting to remove β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate using the solvent having smaller solubility difference between α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
- For example, fractional crystallization of β-type is carried out by using the solvent such as acetone that has a larger solubility difference of α-type and β-type of about 20:1 and then the filtrate was concentrated to obtain a crystal having a weight ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate of 94:6. Thereafter, solvent extraction from the crystal with a solvent having a smaller solubility difference of α-type and β-type of about 10:1, such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, methanol, ethanol, water, and isopropanol, particularly heated methanol and heated acetone, is carried out to obtain α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate having a weight ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate of 96:4.
- The α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal can be obtained by combining the above methods at the same time.
- For example, the crystal can be obtained by once extracting α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate with a solvent, thereafter removing β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate by filtration, concentrating the solvent of the filtrate to precipitate α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate, and thereafter filtering the precipitated crystal. In this case, the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal containing β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate in a ratio of 2% by weight to 15% by weight can be more effectively obtained by using solubility difference of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate and β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate at each temperature.
- In the present invention, α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal having high purity can be finally produced through the steps for producing tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
- Namely, the method includes the following (A), (B), and (i′):
- (A): generating an epichlorohydrin adduct of cyanuric acid by reacting 1 mol of cyanuric acid with 5 mol to 180 mol of epichlorohydrin and subsequently carrying out dehydrochlorination to obtain a reaction solution containing tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate;
- (B): adjusting a solid content concentration of the reaction solution containing tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate obtained in (A) to 10% by mass to 50% by mass; and
- (i′): separating β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate contained in the tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate solution obtained in (B) from the solution as a solid to obtain the crystal with an increased content ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
- In addition, subsequently to (i′), the method includes the following (ii′):
- (ii′): extracting β-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate from the crystal or the solution of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate obtained in the (i′) with a solvent to obtain a crystal with an increased content ratio of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
- The extraction in (ii′) can be carried out by using a heated solvent, a solvent at normal temperature, or a cooled solvent.
- The heating temperature of the solvent is from a temperature of 10° C. or more higher than room temperature or normal temperature (20° C.) to a temperature equal to or lower than the boiling point of the solvent used at normal pressure. The temperature is preferably a temperature close to the boiling point of the solvent used at normal pressure. The cooled solvent can be used from a temperature 10° C. or more lower than room temperature or normal temperature (20° C.) to a temperature of about −100° C.
- Epichlorohydrin or the like is used as the solvent used in (i′).
- Methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, methanol, ethanol, water, isopropanol, or the like is used as the solvent used in (ii′).
- As described above, the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal of the present invention is easily dissolved into solvents and various types of curing agents. The crystal has excellent compatibility to amines, phenol-based substances, acid anhydrides, carboxylic acids, mercaptans, isocyanates, and polyvalent functional compounds and polyvalent functional macromolecules thereof, which have been known as general epoxy curing agents, and thus the crystal provides a cured products having excellent homogeneity when the crystal is cured with the curing agent.
- For a powder paint, for example, the crystal provides a homogeneous paint because the crystal has an excellent mixing property when the crystal is melted and kneaded with a polyester having carboxylic acid terminals and thus the paint provides a coating film having excellent flatness. As another example, the crystal provides a composition having excellent homogeneity when the crystal is mixed with an amine-based curing agent. Using slow crystallization rate of this compound, a transparent film made of tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate alone also can be obtained by once dissolving the composition into a solvent along with a initiator such as an acid generator, applying the resultant solution onto a substrate and thereafter removing the solvent, and curing the applied film before crystallization.
- Use of the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal of the present invention will be described in detail.
- First, a curable composition containing the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal and a carboxylic acid anhydride in a ratio of 0.5 molar equivalent to 1.5 molar equivalent and preferably 0.7 molar equivalent to 1.2 molar equivalent relative to 1 molar equivalent of the crystal is prepared, whereby a transparent cured product can be obtained by attaching the curable composition onto a substrate.

- The α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal and the carboxylic acid anhydride can be used as a liquid curable composition with a solid content concentration of 1% by mass to 99% by mass by dissolving them in a solvent. Here, the solid content means a ratio of remaining components after removing the solvents from the solution.
- Any commercially available solvents can be used as the solvent. Examples of the solvent may include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and mesitylene; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, heptane, nonane, and decane; nitriles such as acetonitrile, benzonitrile, acrylonitrile, and adiponitrile; halogenated hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and dichloromethane; ethers such as dibutyl ether, dioxane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and cyclopentyl methyl ether; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone; esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate; epoxies such as epichlorohydrin and CELLOXIDE (trade name, manufactured by Daicel Corporation); amido compounds such as dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, N-methylsuccinimide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide; 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
- As a method for particularly utilizing characteristics of the present invention, a transparent and homogeneous liquid composition can be obtained, even when the solvent is not used, by mixing the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal of the present invention with an acid anhydride such as a carboxylic acid anhydride that is transparent and a liquid state at room temperature and an significantly highly transparent cured product can be obtained by curing the liquid composition. More specifically, a liquid curable composition containing the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal and the liquid carboxylic acid anhydride in a ratio of 0.5 molar equivalent to 1.5 molar equivalent and preferably 0.7 molar equivalent to 1.2 molar equivalent relative to 1 molar equivalent of the crystal is prepared and the liquid curable composition is attached to a substrate, whereby a transparent cured product can be obtained.
- Examples of the liquid carboxylic acid anhydride at room temperature may include 3-methyl-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid anhydride, 4-methyl-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid anhydride, and a mixture of 3-methyl-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid anhydride and 4-methyl-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid anhydride.
- A curable composition containing the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal of the present invention and a cationic curable compound in a ratio of 0.2 molar equivalent to 5 molar equivalent relative to 1 molar equivalent of the crystal is prepared and the curable composition is applied to a substrate, whereby a transparent cured product can be obtained.

- As a method for further exploiting characteristics of the present invention, similar to the liquid carboxylic acid anhydride described above, a transparent and homogeneous liquid composition can be obtained by using a cationic curable compound that is transparent and a liquid state at room temperature even when the solvent is not used. A highly transparent cured product can be obtained by curing the liquid composition. For example, a liquid curable composition containing the α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate crystal and the liquid cationic curable compound in a ratio of 0.2 molar equivalent to 5 molar equivalent relative to 1 molar equivalent of the crystal is prepared and the liquid curable composition is attached to a substrate, whereby a transparent cured product can be obtained.
- An addition amount of less than 0.2 mol is not preferable because the addition of this amount causes difficulty in obtaining a homogeneous liquid composition and results in high viscosity. An addition amount of more than 5 mol is not preferable because the addition of this amount impairs the characteristics of α-type tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate such as heat resistance.
- As the liquid cationic curable compound, for example, hydrogenated bisphenol A diglycidyl ether; CELLOXIDE, EHPE, and EPOLEAD (trade names) manufactured by Daicel Chemical Co., Ltd. are known. Preferable examples of the liquid cationic curable compound may include TEPIC-VL and TEPIC-PAS (trade names) manufactured by NISSAN CHEMICAL INDUSTREIS, LTD. By using these liquid cationic curable compounds, a cured product that has excellent transparency can be obtained without impairing heat resistance.
- Light irradiation or heating to these cationic polymerizable compositions with 0.1% by mass to 5% by mass of a cationic initiator activated by heat or light allows a transparent cured product such as a coating film, an adhesive, and a molded product to be prepared. The cationic initiator activated by heat or light is also called a thermal acid generator or a photoacid generator. Any substance can be used as the cationic initiator as long as an acid, which is a cation source, is generated from the substance by energy such as heat or light.
- The photoacid generator or the thermal acid generator is not particularly limited as long as the substance directly or indirectly generates an acid by light irradiation or heating.
- Specific usable examples of the photoacid generator may include triazine compounds, acetophenone derivative compounds, disulfonic compounds, diazomethane compounds, sulfonic acid derivative compounds, onium salts such as iodonium salts, sulfonium salts, phosphonium salts, and selenium salts, metallocene complexes, and iron arene complexes.

- To a reaction flask having a capacity of 2 liters equipped with a stirrer, 30 g of water, 5.5 g of tetramethylammonium chloride, 1,388 g (15 mol) of epichlorohydrin, and 129 g (1 mol) of isocyanuric acid were charged to form a reaction mixture. Subsequently, the reaction mixture in the flask was heated with stirring to raise the temperature. When the temperature of the reaction mixture reached 89° C., the reaction mixture began to boil under atmospheric pressure. The reaction mixture, however, was continued to be heated. For 5 hours, the generated vapor was cooled with a condenser; the total amount of liquefied epichlorohydrin was continuously refluxed into the flask; and liquefied water was continued to be discharged out of the flask. Consequently, the temperature of the reaction mixture reached 120° C. At this time, the heating was stopped and the reaction mixture was cooled to obtain reaction product having a temperature of 45° C. Unreacted cyanuric acid was not detected in the product.
- Subsequently, while maintaining the total amount of the reaction product in the flask at 50° C., 256 g (3.2 mol as NaOH) of 50% by mass sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was started to be added dropwise to this reaction product under a reduced pressure of 100 mmHg to from a reaction mixture. In this case, water and epichlorohydrin were simultaneously evaporated from this reaction mixture with vigorous stirring. While gradually increasing the degree of reduction in pressure, the vapor was continuously cooled with the condenser; the total amount of the liquefied epichlorohydrin was continuously refluxed into the flask; and the liquefied water was continuously discharged out of the flask. When the degree of reduction in pressure reached 60 mmHg, the dropwise addition was completed to obtain a slurry containing precipitated sodium chloride. Six hours were required from the start of dropwise addition to this completion. During this period, the reaction mixture with stirring was clouded with precipitates of sodium chloride. The reaction mixture, however, was maintained homogeneously from the beginning to the end. According to the liquid chromatography analysis, the content ratio of the compound having a 2-hydroxy-3-chloropropyl group contained in the slurry was 1% or less.
