It is obtained by chemical dispersion. The production method includes, for example, (1) an organic phase in which an ethylene 'propylene' terpolymer rubber is dissolved in an organic solvent, and an aqueous phase in which a ionic surfactant is dissolved in water. (2) Ethylene / propylene / gen terpolymer rubber is heated in an aqueous medium in the presence of a ionic surfactant. Examples thereof include a method of stirring and emulsifying and dispersing and then cooling.
[0026] 本発明のァ-オン性エチレン ·プロピレン.ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムラテックスの製 造方法としては、エチレン ·プロピレン'ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムが有機溶剤に溶解し 易 、点から、上記(1)の方法が好ましく用いられる。 [0026] Production of the terionic ethylene / propylene / gen terpolymer rubber latex of the present invention As the production method, the method (1) is preferably used from the viewpoint that the ethylene / propylene terpolymer rubber is easily dissolved in an organic solvent.
[0027] 上記(1)の製造方法において、エチレン 'プロピレン'ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムを含 む有機相を調製する際に用いられる有機溶剤は、特に限定されるものではないが、 例えば、ペンタン、へキサン、ヘプタン、オクタン等の脂肪族炭化水素系有機溶剤、 シクロへキサン等の脂環式炭化水素系有機溶剤、ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン等の 芳香族炭化水素系有機溶剤等が挙げられる。これらの有機溶剤は、それぞれ単独 で用いられてもよいし、 2種以上が併用されてもよい。さらに、乳化助剤として、メタノ ール、エタノール、イソプロピルアルコール、 tーブタノール等の低級アルコールを併 用してちょい。 [0027] In the production method of (1) above, the organic solvent used in preparing the organic phase containing the ethylene 'propylene' gen terpolymer rubber is not particularly limited. Examples include aliphatic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as pentane, hexane, heptane and octane, alicyclic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as cyclohexane, and aromatic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as benzene, toluene and xylene. . These organic solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In addition, use lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and t-butanol as emulsification aids.
[0028] 有機相を調製する際に、エチレン 'プロピレン'ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムの溶解割合 は、特に限定されるものではないが、有機相中における固形分濃度が 5〜50重量% になるように設定するのが好ましい。溶解温度は、特に限定されるものではなぐ通常 、 100°Cまでの温度にて溶解される。  [0028] When the organic phase is prepared, the dissolution ratio of the ethylene 'propylene' gen terpolymer rubber is not particularly limited, but the solid content concentration in the organic phase is 5 to 50% by weight. It is preferable to set so that The melting temperature is not particularly limited and is usually dissolved at a temperature up to 100 ° C.
[0029] 上記(1)の製造方法において、ァ-オン系界面活性剤を溶解した水相を調製する 際は、通常、水相にァ-オン系界面活性剤を添加して溶解させる。し力しながら、ァ ユオン系界面活性剤として脂肪酸塩を使用する場合には、脂肪酸を有機相に添加し 、その中和に必要な水酸ィ匕アルカリ金属を水相に添加し、乳化する際にこれらの有 機相と水相とを混合し、その境界面で上記脂肪酸と上記水酸ィ匕アルカリ金属とを反 応させて脂肪酸塩を形成させてもよい。ここで、脂肪酸として例えばォレイン酸を用い る場合、水酸ィ匕アルカリ金属による中和度を 80〜90%としてォレイン酸を残存させ れば、この残存ォレイン酸は pH調整剤として機能するので、 pH調整剤をさらに添カロ しなくてもよい場合がある。ァニオン系界面活性剤の添加量は、特に限定されるもの ではないが、水相中における濃度が 0. 1〜50重量%になるように設定するのが好ま しい。  [0029] In the production method (1), when preparing an aqueous phase in which a ionic surfactant is dissolved, the ionic surfactant is usually added to the aqueous phase and dissolved. However, when a fatty acid salt is used as a cation-based surfactant, the fatty acid is added to the organic phase, and the hydroxide or alkali metal necessary for the neutralization is added to the aqueous phase and emulsified. In this case, the organic phase and the aqueous phase may be mixed, and the fatty acid may be reacted with the hydroxide or alkali metal at the boundary surface to form a fatty acid salt. Here, when oleic acid is used as the fatty acid, for example, if the oleic acid is allowed to remain at a neutralization degree of 80% to 90% with hydroxy-alkali metal, the residual oleic acid functions as a pH adjuster. In some cases, it may not be necessary to add additional pH adjusters. The addition amount of the anionic surfactant is not particularly limited, but is preferably set so that the concentration in the aqueous phase is 0.1 to 50% by weight.

The mixing ratio is preferably set so that the aqueous phase is 20 to 500 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the organic phase. More preferably, the water phase is set to 25 to 200 parts by weight. If the aqueous phase is less than 20 parts by weight, it may not be emulsified, and the resulting emulsion may have a very high viscosity. If the aqueous phase exceeds 500 parts by weight, emulsification is possible, but productivity is poor and impractical.
[0031] 有機相と水相とを混合して乳化させるための方法は、特に限定されるものではなぐ 適当な剪断力を有する乳化機、例えば、ホモジナイザーやコロイドミル等を用いて撹 拌混合する方法や、超音波分散機等を用いて分散'混合する方法を採用することが できる。通常は、撹拌混合する方法を採用するのが好ましい。また、乳化時の温度は 、特に限定されるものではないが、 5〜100°Cの範囲に設定するのが好ましい。  [0031] The method for mixing and emulsifying the organic phase and the aqueous phase is not particularly limited, and stirring and mixing is performed using an emulsifier having an appropriate shearing force, such as a homogenizer or a colloid mill. It is possible to adopt a method or a method of dispersing and mixing using an ultrasonic disperser or the like. Usually, it is preferable to employ a method of stirring and mixing. Moreover, the temperature at the time of emulsification is not particularly limited, but is preferably set in the range of 5 to 100 ° C.

The organic solvent can be distilled off according to a normal distillation method in which the emulsion is heated under reduced pressure. The ionic ethylene 'propylene' gen terpolymer rubber latex thus obtained has a desired solid content concentration by operation such as heat concentration, centrifugation, and wet separation, if necessary. It can also be concentrated.
[0033] 本発明においては、ァ-オン性エチレン.プロピレン.ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムラテ ッタスの固形分濃度は、 40〜70重量%が好ましぐ 45〜65重量%がより好ましい。 固形分濃度が 40重量%未満だと、ラテックスを凝固させた場合に体積の変化割合が 大きぐ凝固、加硫時に安定に気泡を維持できなくなり、良好なフォームラバーが得ら れないおそれがある。固形分濃度が 70重量%を超えると、問題なく発泡体は製造で きるが、工業的に該濃度まで濃縮することは難しぐ実用的ではない。  [0033] In the present invention, the solid content concentration of the vinyl-on ethylene.propylene.gen terpolymer rubber latex is preferably 40 to 70% by weight, more preferably 45 to 65% by weight. If the solid content is less than 40% by weight, the rate of volume change is large when the latex is coagulated, and bubbles cannot be stably maintained during coagulation and vulcanization, and a good foam rubber may not be obtained. . When the solid content concentration exceeds 70% by weight, the foam can be produced without any problem, but it is difficult and practical to concentrate to this concentration industrially.
[0034] 本発明のァ-オン性エチレン .プロピレン'ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムラテックスの中 位粒子径は、 0. 1〜3 μ mが好ましい。中位粒子径が 0. 1 μ m未満だと、ラテックス の安定性は高まる力 隔壁が薄くなるためにフォームラバーの強度が弱くなるおそれ がある。中位粒子径が 3 mを超えると、ラテックスの安定性が悪くなるだけでなぐ気 泡の数が少なくなり、良好なフォームラバーが得られないおそれがある。なお、この中 位粒子径は、乳化工程における撹拌混合操作を適宜調整することにより達成するこ とがでさる。 [0035] 本発明のァ-オン性のエチレン.プロピレン .ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムラテックスを用 V、たフォームラバーの製造方法としては特に限定されず、公知の方法を用いることが できる。例えば、ァ-オン性エチレン 'プロピレン'ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムラテックス を発泡させ、凝固、加硫させる方法が用いられる。この場合、先ず、本発明のァ-ォ ン性のエチレン.プロピレン.ジェン 3元共重合体ゴムラテックスに、加硫剤、加硫助 剤、起泡剤等の配合剤を添加した組成物を調製する。この他に、老化防止剤、着色 剤、成膜助剤、起泡安定剤等を必要に応じて配合してもよい。 [0034] The median particle diameter of the eron ethylene propylene terpolymer rubber latex of the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 3 µm. If the median particle size is less than 0.1 μm, the stability of the latex will increase. The foam rubber may be weakened because the partition walls become thinner. If the median particle diameter exceeds 3 m, the number of bubbles that can be lost is decreased as the stability of the latex is deteriorated, and good foam rubber may not be obtained. This median particle size can be achieved by appropriately adjusting the stirring and mixing operation in the emulsification step. [0035] The method for producing the foam rubber using the ergonal ethylene propylene terpolymer rubber latex of the present invention is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used. For example, a method of foaming, coagulating, and vulcanizing a vinylon ethylene 'propylene' gen terpolymer rubber latex is used.

Examples of the vulcanizing agent include sulfur, colloidal sulfur, peracid oxide, and the like. As a vulcanization aid, for example, it is often used in a combination of zinc white and a vulcanization accelerator. Examples of the vulcanization accelerator include 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and its zinc salt, thiazole accelerators such as dibenzothiazyl disulfide, and dithiocarbamate accelerators such as zinc jetyldithiocarbamate.
