Oil-resistant rubber composition and composite of the composition and fiber

Technical field

The present invention relates to a rubber composition obtained by blending a vinyl chloride resin with a carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber. More specifically, the present invention has improved kneading and dispersing properties of the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and a vinyl chloride resin and excellent extrudability, and further comprises gasoline, sour gasoline and engine oil. The present invention relates to a rubber composition which provides a crosslinked rubber product having excellent heat resistance, ozone resistance, compression distortion resistance and oil resistance.

Background art

Conventionally, a rubber composition obtained by mixing an acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer rubber (NBR) and a vinyl chloride resin has been known as a rubber composition for providing a crosslinked rubber product having oil resistance and ozone resistance. .

In addition, the mixture of partially hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer rubber (HNBR) and vinyl chloride resin has an excellent balance of oil resistance and cold resistance, and has a conventional level of ozone resistance and sour gasoline resistance. It has also been reported that crosslinked rubber products that surpass the standard are given (Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-49218).

However, the performance requirements of rubber products in recent years have become increasingly sophisticated, especially in the fields of belts, hoses and diaphragms, in addition to strength properties, other physical properties such as heat resistance, oil resistance, and nylon cord. It has been desired to further improve the adhesion to fibers such as described above. Conventional techniques are not sufficient to meet these demands, and need to be further improved. An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition comprising a nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and a vinyl chloride resin, wherein the crosslinked rubber has improved strength properties and the like by being crosslinked with a crosslinking agent or the like. A rubber composition, which can provide the product, will be provided.

As a result of intensive studies, the present inventor has found that a rubber composition comprising a carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and a vinyl chloride resin has a crosslinked structure having improved tensile strength as compared with the prior art. We found that we provided rubber products and completed the present invention based on this finding.

Disclosure of the invention

Thus, according to the present invention,

(1) Polyvinyl chloride resin on carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber with acid equivalent of 2 X 10-3 ephr or more, Mooney viscosity of 15 to 200, and iodine value of 80 or less An oil-resistant rubber composition comprising:

(2) A composite of the oil-resistant rubber composition of (1) and a fiber.

(3) The composite according to the above (2), which is used for a hose.

(4) The composite according to (2) above, which is used for a diaphragm.

Is provided.

The carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber used in the present invention is a copolymer having a nitrile group in the molecule, having few carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds, and exhibiting rubber elasticity. Thus, it further has a carboxyl group in the molecule.

The amount of carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds is alternatively expressed by the iodine value. The carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber used in the present invention has an iodine value of 80 or less, preferably 60 or less. High iodine value If a crosslinker is used, the oil resistance and heat resistance of the crosslinked product decrease. The content of the binding nitrile unit of the rubber is not particularly limited, but is usually

It is 10 to 60% by weight, preferably 15 to 40% by weight. In addition, the content of the bound nitrile unit is a value determined by the Geldar method. Oil content and heat resistance increase as the content of the binding nitrile unit increases, and the rubber elasticity increases as the content of the binding nitrile unit decreases. Therefore, it is appropriately selected according to the application.

Acid equivalent of your rubbers, 2 xl 0- ³ ephr or more, preferably 2 x 10 one ³ ~ 5 x 10- ² ephr, more preferably ^{^{5 x 10- 3 ~3 xl 0- 2}} ephr. If the acid equivalent is too small, the compatibility with the vinyl chloride resin is not improved, which is not preferable.

The acid equivalent is determined by dissolving the rubber in acetone, reprecipitating and refining with n-hexane, and re-dissolving the resulting reprecipitated purified rubber in acetone. This value was obtained by titration using ethanol solution of thymol with thymolphthalein as an indicator.

The rubber has a Mooney viscosity (ML = ₄ , 100 ° C.) of 15 to 200, preferably 30 to 150. If the Mooney viscosity is too high, the kneading processability deteriorates, while if it is too low, the durability under high pressure is insufficient, and the compression set and crushing (compression relaxation) become insufficient.

Further, the rubber has a methylethylketone insoluble content of usually 3% by weight or less, preferably 2% by weight or less, more preferably 1% by weight or less (ie, substantially gel-free). . If the methylethyl ketone insolubles increase, the dispersibility of the vinyl chloride resin in the rubber becomes difficult. The content of the insoluble matter in methyl ethyl ketone was determined by chopping the rubber finely, placing it in an 80 mesh wire mesh basket, immersing this basket in methyl ethyl ketone at room temperature for 48 hours, and remaining in the basket. The solid content is dried, the weight of the dried product is measured, and the weight of the dried product is expressed as a percentage of the weight of the rubber initially placed in the basket.

The method for producing the carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is usually a radical addition method in the presence of a radical generator, or an enzymatic method at a high temperature. There is a type addition method. As a preferred method, in a heated closed kneader, a nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof are mixed at a rubber temperature of 200 to 280 ° C. And a method of performing an enzymatic addition reaction.

The nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber used in the ene-type addition reaction is obtained by hydrogenating a conjugated gen unit of an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile-conjugated gen-based copolymer rubber. The nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber has a bound nitrile unit content of usually 10 to 60% by weight, preferably 15 to 40% by weight, and an iodine value of usually It is 80 or less, preferably 60 or less, and its viscosity (ML! ₊₄ , 100 ° C) is usually 30 to 300, preferably 50 to 200, More preferably, it is 60 to 150.

As the iodine value increases, heat resistance and strength decrease. The lower limit of the iodine value is not particularly limited. However, if the iodine value is excessively low, crosslinking may be difficult. Therefore, generally, an iodine value of at least 1 is used. If the Mooney viscosity is too low, the durability under high pressure will be insufficient, and the compression set and Blur (compression relaxation) is not improved. Also, when the Mooney viscosity increases, the processability during kneading deteriorates. -The ethylenically unsaturated nitrile-1 conjugated gen-based copolymer used for producing the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber usually contains ethylenically unsaturated nitrile and conjugated gen. It is obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture.

The amount of synergist is usually between 40 and 90% by weight in the monomer mixture. When 1,3-butadiene and isoprene are used in combination as the conjugated gen (ie, in the case of isoprene-butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer rubber), the bond 1,3-butadiene in the conjugated gen unit is usually used. The unit content is 30 to 70% by weight, and the bound isoprene unit content is 70 to 30% by weight.

In the addition-type addition reaction, heating is usually performed without using a radical generator in an inert solvent that dissolves the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride. Alternatively, this is accomplished by kneading the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof in a heated closed kneader.

The amounts of the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber and the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride are not particularly limited, but are usually 100 parts by weight of the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber. On the other hand, the amount is 0.05 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 0.2 to 6 parts by weight for the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride.

The heat-sealing kneader suitably used in the heat-type addition reaction can be arbitrarily selected from among batch-type heat-sealing kneaders such as a pressure soda, a Banbury mixer, a Brabender, etc. Of these, a pressure kneader is preferred. If an open-type kneader such as a roll-type kneader is used without using a heated closed kneader, the molten ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid such as maleic anhydride or its anhydride is scattered. However, it is not preferable because a sufficient addition reaction cannot be performed.

In the case of a continuous kneader such as a single-screw extruder, a co-rotating twin-screw extruder, and a counter-rotating twin-screw extruder, the rubber remaining at the outlet of the extruder is gelled to form a die head. In some cases, the addition reaction cannot be performed efficiently due to clogging of the metal. In addition, a large amount of unreacted ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride remains in the rubber. When a carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber is produced by carrying out an enzymatic addition reaction using a heat-sealing kneader, the following method is used to obtain Carboxylic acid anhydride groups can be present in a high proportion. In general, when the carboxylic anhydride group in the rubber molecule is decomposed and the carboxyl group content is increased, the reaction rate with the compounding agent such as zinc oxide is accelerated, so that scorch is likely to occur at the time of crosslinking, and wear resistance is also increased. This is not preferred because the properties and compression set resistance tend to decrease. The method by which carboxylic anhydride groups can be present in a high proportion in rubber molecules is as follows.

First, before adding an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof to a nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber by an ene-type addition reaction, at a rubber temperature at which substantially no ene-type addition reaction occurs. , Specifically, 60-

170 ° C, preferably 100-150. In C, the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride and the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber are pre-kneaded, and the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride is subjected to the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer. Disperse evenly in it. If the rubber temperature of this pre-kneading is excessively low, the rubber slips in the kneading machine and the mixing of the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride with the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber occurs. Not enough. If the rubber temperature of the pre-kneading is excessively high, a large amount of the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride to be charged into the kneader may be scattered, thereby lowering the rate of the ene-type addition reaction.

Next, the temperature of the mixture of the rubber being kneaded and the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the rubber temperature) is set at 200 to 2 in order to carry out an ene-type addition reaction. 80 ° C, preferably 220-260 ° C One. The method for keeping the rubber temperature within this range is not particularly limited, but is usually achieved by flowing hot water or steam into the kneader jacket, or by using shear heat.

When hot water or steam is allowed to flow through the jacket of the heat-sealing kneader, the jacket temperature is generally maintained at 70 to 250 ° C, preferably 130 to 200 ° C. When utilizing the heat generated by shearing, the kneading is preferably continued by a kneader at a shear rate of 30 to: L 000 S—preferably 300 to 700 S— ¹ . In particular, it is preferable to use the heat generated by shearing because the rubber temperature can be easily controlled. The kneading time in the heated closed kneader is not particularly limited, but is usually 120 seconds to 120 minutes, preferably 180 seconds to 60 minutes.

If the rubber temperature during kneading is excessively low, the ene-type addition reaction does not proceed sufficiently. On the other hand, if the content is excessively high, gelation or burning occurs, and as a result, gel is mixed into the product, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the shear rate is excessively high, it is difficult to control the rubber temperature due to the heat generated by shearing, and the rubber temperature becomes too high, causing gels and burns, which is not preferable as an industrial production method. On the other hand, if the shear rate is excessively low, the rubber temperature becomes too low, so that a sufficient ene-type addition reaction cannot be expected.

At the time of kneading in such a heat-sealing kneader, an antioxidant may be added to prevent gelation of rubber and increase in Mooney viscosity. The type of anti-aging agent is not particularly limited, but an aging-based, amine-ketone-based, phenol-based, benzimidazole-based, or other rubber-based anti-aging agent can be used.

Examples of the benzimidazole antioxidants include metal salts of 2-mercaptobenzylazomidazole, 2-mercaptomethylbenzomidazole, and 2-mercaptomethylbenzoimidazole.

The amount of the antioxidant used is preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, more preferably 100 parts by weight of the nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber. Is 0.1 to 2 parts by weight.

By adopting such a production method, the acid equivalent is 2 × 10 ³ ephr or more and the peak height of the carboxylic acid anhydride group is measured by infrared absorption spectroscopy. ] + [The peak height of the carboxyl group]) is 0.50 or more, preferably 0.85 or more, and more preferably 0.9 or more. If this value is too small, scorch is likely to occur in the crosslinking reaction.

Here, the value of [peak height of carboxylic acid anhydride group] Z ([peak height of carboxylic acid anhydride group] + [peak height of carboxyl group]) is determined by the measurement using an infrared absorption spectrometer. For the anhydride group, the peak height of the absorption peak observed at around 1785 cm- ¹ and for the carboxyl group, the peak height of the absorption peak observed at around 1170 to 1740 cm- ¹ It is determined based on.

For example, a vinyl chloride homopolymer and a known vinyl chloride copolymer comprising not less than 60% by weight of a vinyl chloride unit and not more than 40% by weight of a unit of another monomer capable of being radically copolymerized with vinyl chloride are exemplified.

Industrial applicability

Composite of oil-resistant rubber composition and fiber

The rubber composition of the present invention has good processability and shows improved adhesion to various fibers such as nylon. Therefore, a product excellent in adhesive strength and mechanical strength can be obtained by cross-linking the composite of the rubber composition and the fiber. This composite is useful for belts, hoses and the like. The fibers used include natural fibers such as cotton, recycled fibers such as rayon, nylon, polyester, vinylon, and aromatic polyamide fibers. Such synthetic fibers, steel fibers, glass fibers, and carbon fibers are included. These fibers may be used alone or in combination of two or more. These fibers are used in the form of staple, filament, or woven fabric such as cord, rope, canvas, or bamboo and embedded in the rubber composition as a tensile member. The type and form of the product can be determined as appropriate according to the type (use) of the intended rubber product.

Prior to compounding with the rubber composition, each fiber is subjected to a pre-bonding treatment by a method usually applied to each fiber, but does not require any other special treatment. For example, in the case of rayon and nylon, the bonding treatment is usually performed using a mixture of an aqueous solution of a precondensate of resorcinol-formalin (hereinafter abbreviated as R F) and rubber latex (hereinafter abbreviated as R F L).

On the other hand, fibers such as polyesters and aromatic polyamides have poor adhesiveness to rubber due to their molecular structure, so that sufficient adhesive force may not be obtained by the above-described bonding treatment using RFL. Therefore, prior to treatment with RFL, the fibers are treated with a compound such as isocyanates, ethylene thioureas, epoxies, or a treatment liquid that appropriately combines these compounds, and then heat-treated, followed by treatment with RFL. Done. It is generally effective for glass fibers to be treated with a silane coupling agent such as epoxysilane or aminosilane (for example, aminopropyltriethoxysilane) prior to treatment with RFL.

The rubber latex used in the RFL treatment is not particularly limited. For example, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer latex, acrylonitrile-butadiene-methacrylic acid copolymer latex, acryloyl Nitrile copolymer latex such as nitrile-butadiene-acrylic acid copolymer latex, acrylonitrile-butadiene-vinylpyridine acid copolymer latex, and hydrogenated butadiene portion of these copolymers; Epichlorohydrin polymer, copolymer of epichlorohydrin and one or more other epoxides or oxetane, chloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorine-containing monomer copolymerized with chlorine-containing monomer as crosslinking monomer Acryl rubber, brominated butyl rubber, polyvinylidene chloride; chlorinated or brominated gen-based rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer rubber, styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber, polybutadiene rubber, etc.), chlorinated or brominated rubber Latex of halogen-containing polymers such as propylene-one-monomer-terpolymer rubber.

The use of the carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymerized aqueous emulsion as the latex used in the treatment with RFL is preferred because the adhesive force between the rubber composition and the fibers is further enhanced. These rubber latexes can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Rubber latex produced by emulsion polymerization can be used as it is. Rubber, which can be obtained as a solid polymer, can be in the form of a latex by, for example, dissolving in a solvent, adding water and an emulsifier, stirring and emulsifying, and then evaporating and removing the solvent. In the present invention, the method for producing latex is not particularly limited.

The RFL solution for treating the fibers is a mixture of the rubber latex and RF. The composition ratio of the liquid mixture is not particularly limited, but is usually It is desirable that the ratio of RF to RF be in the range of 10: 1 to 2: 1 in terms of the solid content weight ratio. In addition, the molar ratio of resorcinol to formalin in the RF solution is not particularly limited, but it is usually desirable that the ratio be 1: 3 to 3: 1. More preferably, the ratio is in the range of 1: 1 to 1.5: 1. As the RF liquid, those commonly used for cross-linking adhesion between the rubber composition and the fibers can be used, and are not particularly limited.

The method for treating fibers with the RFL treatment solution is not particularly limited in the present invention, but it is common practice to immerse the fibers according to an immersion method, and then to perform a heat treatment. The conditions of the heat treatment are not particularly limited in the present invention, and there are some variations depending on the type of the fiber, but it is sufficient that the temperature and time are sufficient to react and fix the RFL adhered by immersion. This is performed at about 140 to 210 ° C for about 1 to 10 minutes. In general, depending on the type of fiber, it is also possible to preliminarily immerse the fiber in an isocyanate solution, an epoxy solution, or a mixed solution thereof prior to immersion in the heat treatment solution, followed by drying treatment. In this case, the drying temperature is desirably equal to or lower than the subsequent heat treatment temperature.

When the fiber subjected to the RFL treatment as described above is cross-linked with a carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer rubber composition, for example, the fiber is treated with a carboxylated nitrile group-containing highly saturated copolymer. After mixing with the rubber composition or laminating with the rubber composition, crosslinking is carried out according to the usual crosslinking conditions of the rubber composition. The crosslinking conditions are not particularly limited, but are usually from 130 to 200 ° C. under a pressure of 0.5 to 10 MPa for 1 to 120 minutes.

Further, a braided reinforcing yarn layer may be provided between the crosslinked rubber layers in order to impart strength. The type of yarn of the braided reinforcing yarn layer is not particularly limited, but polyester fibers, nylon fibers, and aramide fibers are usually used because of its excellent heat resistance.

It is manufactured by forming an outer layer comprising the above, and crosslinking the inner layer and the outer layer in a crosslinking step.

For example, a hose having a three-layer structure is formed by forming an inner layer with the crosslinkable rubber composition of the present invention, forming a braided reinforcing yarn layer on the outer periphery of the inner layer, and applying an adhesive to the outer periphery of the braided reinforcing yarn layer. An intermediate layer made of a crosslinkable rubber composition is formed on the outer periphery, an adhesive is applied to the outer periphery of the intermediate layer, and the outer periphery is formed from the crosslinkable rubber composition.
