Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for evaluating the chemical stability of polychloroprene latex. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for evaluating the chemical stability of polychloroprene latex used in immersion molded products such as gloves, boots and balloons.
- Polychloroprene latex is used as a material for immersion molded products such as medical gloves, laboratory gloves, catheters, rubber boots, rubber threads and balloons. These dip-molded products are mainly manufactured by a method called a coagulating liquid method using a ceramic or metal three-dimensional mold. Specifically, by immersing a mold coated with a coagulating liquid having an action of coagulating polychloroprene latex in a polychloroprene latex composition containing sulfur, a vulcanization accelerator, etc., and then lifting and drying by heating, A film is formed on the surface of the mold. Then, by removing this film from the mold, a product having a predetermined shape is obtained.
- the occurrence of coagulum when adjusting the polychloroprene latex composition, and the occurrence of cracks and pinholes in the final product may be a problem.
- it is effective to manage the stability (chemical stability) of polychloroprene latex to chemicals. For example, if the chemical stability of the polychloroprene latex is too low, coagulum may be generated when a polychloroprene latex composition is formulated by adding sulfur or a vulcanization accelerator, and the chemical stability is low. If it is too high, a uniform film is not formed on the surface of the mold, and cracks and pinholes are likely to occur.
- the chemical stability of rubber latex is evaluated based on the concentration and dry mass of a coagulum formed by mixing latex and an aqueous inorganic salt solution (see Patent Documents 1 to 4).
- a coagulum formed by mixing latex and an aqueous inorganic salt solution see Patent Documents 1 to 4.
- a polymer latex obtained by emulsion polymerization of styrene, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate. 5 ml was added, and the resulting aggregate was dried and weighed. And the mass% with respect to the polymer of an aggregate is calculated
- Patent Document 2 5 g of 0.1N-calcium chloride aqueous solution is added dropwise with stirring to 100 g of copolymer latex having a solid content concentration of 48% by mass, and the chemical stability is determined from the amount of coagulum formed. A method for evaluating sex is described. Further, in Patent Document 3, 10% of a 7% by weight aqueous potassium hydroxide solution is dropped into 100 g of a copolymer latex (solid content: 45% by weight) that has been filtered in advance while stirring, and the chemical amount is determined from the amount of aggregates produced. A method for assessing stability is described.
- Patent Documents 1 to 4 are methods for evaluating latex of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) or acrylonitrol-butadiene rubber (NBR), and cannot be applied to polychloroprene latex. There is a problem.
- SBR styrene butadiene rubber
- NBR acrylonitrol-butadiene rubber
- the polychloroprene latex for dip-molded products is stable against alkalinity because it is produced by emulsion polymerization using alkali-soluble rosin acid as an emulsifier.
- Polychloroprene latex contains sodium hydroxide and water in order to prevent the pH from gradually changing due to the dehydrochlorination reaction of the chloroprene polymer when stored for a long time in an environment exposed to sunlight or high temperature. Many alkaline substances such as calcium oxide are blended. Therefore, the polychloroprene latex has good stability with respect to the aqueous potassium hydroxide solution used in Patent Document 3, and a coagulated product is hardly generated even when added.
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the chemical stability of polychloroprene latex, which can evaluate the stability of polychloroprene to chemicals with high accuracy.
- the method for evaluating the chemical stability of the polychloroprene latex according to the present invention includes a polychloroprene latex having a solid content of 45 to 65% by mass, a calcium hydroxide aqueous solution or a calcium nitrate aqueous solution having a concentration of 0.05 to 0.40% by mass.
- 50 to 150 g-wet of an aqueous calcium hydroxide solution or an aqueous calcium nitrate solution can be added to 100 g-wet of polychloroprene latex.
- “-wet” indicates “wet mass”.
- the polychloroprene latex may contain rosin acid and / or an alkali metal salt of rosin acid.
- the chloroprene polymer in the polychloroprene latex is, for example, a copolymer of chloroprene and 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene, and its toluene insoluble content can be, for example, 70 to 99%.
- the evaluation method evaluates the stability (chemical stability) of polychloroprene latex to chemicals, and adds a specific coagulant aqueous solution to polychloroprene latex to produce precipitates From this amount, the precipitation rate is calculated. Specifically, the following steps S1 to S3 are performed.
- Step S1 Coagulant addition process
- a calcium hydroxide aqueous solution or a calcium nitrate aqueous solution having a concentration of 0.05 to 0.40 mass% is added as a coagulant aqueous solution to a polychloroprene latex having a solid content concentration of 45 to 65 mass%.
- the precipitation rate is too high, and the precipitation rate may vary.
- the distance between the latex particles increases, and the destabilized particles are less likely to aggregate with each other, so that a precipitate is hardly generated.
- the distance between the latex particles is short, so that the added calcium ions are consumed for aggregation of latex particles in the vicinity of the addition position and do not diffuse throughout. In such a state, the amount of precipitates increases or conversely decreases, so the reproducibility of measured values decreases.
- the solid content concentration of the polychloroprene latex to be evaluated is less than 45% by mass, the value of the precipitation rate is too low, and the difference in the precipitation rate between different samples (polychloroprene latex) is reduced. It becomes difficult to compare chemical stability.
- the solid content concentration of the polychloroprene latex exceeds 65% by mass, it becomes difficult to mix the latex and the coagulant aqueous solution instantaneously and uniformly, so that the measurement accuracy of the precipitation rate decreases.
- the addition amount of the calcium hydroxide aqueous solution and the calcium nitrate aqueous solution as the coagulant aqueous solution is not particularly limited, but is 50 to 150 g-wet with respect to 100 g-wet (wet mass) of the polychloroprene latex to be evaluated. It is preferable to do. Thereby, the precision of the measured value of a precipitation rate can be improved.
- the method of adding the aqueous calcium hydroxide solution or the aqueous calcium nitrate solution is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to drop these aqueous solutions dropwise from the burette while stirring the polychloroprene latex.
- the stirring speed is too high, specifically, if the stirring speed exceeds 800 rpm, the polychloroprene latex may be scattered.
- the stirring speed is too slow, specifically, if the stirring speed is less than 200 rpm, uniform mixing cannot be performed, which causes variation in the precipitation rate. Therefore, the stirring speed of the polychloroprene latex is preferably 200 to 800 rpm.
- the temperature of the polychloroprene latex and the aqueous calcium hydroxide solution or the aqueous calcium nitrate solution is preferably controlled to be constant, but when these coagulant aqueous solutions are used, the temperature ranges from 5 ° C to 35 ° C. Has little effect on the measured deposition rate. Therefore, when the measurement room temperature is 5 to 35 ° C., it is not necessary to cool or heat the polychloroprene latex and the calcium hydroxide aqueous solution or the calcium nitrate aqueous solution.
- Step S2 Filtration drying process
- the produced precipitate is collected by filtration, and its dry mass is measured.

- the precipitate collected by these methods is washed with water, dried at a temperature higher than 100 ° C., which is the evaporation temperature of water, and the dry mass is measured.
- Step S3 Precipitation rate calculation step
- the precipitation rate (%) is calculated by the following formula 2, and the chemical stability of the polychloroprene latex is evaluated from the calculated value. That is, the lower the precipitation rate, the more difficult it is for the latex particles to aggregate, so the evaluation is "high chemical stability", and the higher the precipitation rate, the easier the latex particles to aggregate, Evaluated as “low chemical stability”.
- A is the dry mass (g) of the precipitate
- B is the mass (g) of the polychloroprene latex
- C is the solid content concentration (% by mass) of the polychloroprene latex.

Abstract
Description
また、ポリクロロプレンラテックスは、ロジン酸及び/又はロジン酸のアルカリ金属塩を含有していてもよい。
更に、ポリクロロプレンラテックス中のクロロプレン重合体は、例えばクロロプレン及び2,3-ジクロロ-1,3-ブタジエンの共重合体であり、そのトルエン不溶分は例えば70~99%とすることができる。
本発明の実施形態に係る評価方法は、ポリクロロプレンラテックスの化学薬品に対する安定性(化学的安定性)を評価するものであり、ポリクロロプレンラテックスに特定の凝固剤水溶液を添加し、生成する析出物の量から析出率を算出する。具体的には、以下に示すステップS1~S3を行う。
本実施形態の評価方法では、先ず、固形分濃度45~65質量%のポリクロロプレンラテックスに、凝固剤水溶液として濃度0.05~0.40質量%の水酸化カルシウム水溶液又は硝酸カルシウム水溶液を添加する。その際、水酸化カルシウム及び硝酸カルシウム以外の凝固剤を使用すると、析出速度が速すぎて、析出率にばらつきが生じる虞がある。なお、析出速度及びポリクロロプレンラテックスへの分散性の観点から、凝固剤には水酸化カルシウムを使用することが好ましく、これにより算出される析出率のばらつきを少なくすることができる。
次に、生成した析出物を濾過回収し、その乾燥質量を測定する。析出物の濾過回収方法は、特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、濾紙や、目開き300μm(50メッシュ)~75μm(200メッシュ)の金網又は布フィルターなどを使用することができる。また、撹拌翼や容器の壁に付着した析出物は、ピンセットなどで採取すればよい。これらの方法で回収した析出物は、水で洗浄した後、水の蒸発温度である100℃よりも高い温度で乾燥させて、乾燥質量を測定する。
そして、下記数式2によって析出率(%)を算出し、その値から、ポリクロロプレンラテックスの化学的安定性を評価する。即ち、析出率が低いほど、ラテックス粒子が凝集しにくいことを意味するため、「化学的安定性が高い」と評価し、析出率が高いほど、ラテックス粒子が凝集しやすいことを意味するため、「化学的安定性が低い」と評価する。なお、下記数式2におけるAは析出物の乾燥質量(g)、Bはポリクロロプレンラテックスの質量(g)、Cはポリクロロプレンラテックスの固形分濃度(質量%)である。
本実施形態の評価方法において評価対象とする「ポリクロロプレンラテックス」は、クロロプレン重合体を、乳化剤を介して水中に乳化させたラテックス(エマルジョン)である。ここで、クロロプレン重合体とは、2-クロロ-1,3-ブタジエン(以下、クロロプレンと記す。)の単独重合体又はクロロプレンと他の単量体との共重合体をいう。また、クロロプレンと共重合可能な単量体としては、例えば、2,3-ジクロロ-1,3-ブタジエン、1-クロロ-1,3-ブタジエン、硫黄、メタクリル酸及びそのエステル類、アクリル酸及びそのエステル類が挙げられ、これらは単独で使用してもよく、2種類以上を併用してもよい。
本実施形態の化学的安定性の評価方法の対象となるポリクロロプレンラテックスは、凝固液法により、医療用手袋、実験用手袋、カテーテル、ゴム長靴、ゴム糸、風船などの浸漬成形製品を製造する際に使用される。なお、凝固液法では、ポリクロロプレンラテックスに硫黄、金属酸化物、増粘剤、加硫促進剤、老化防止剤及び充填剤などを配合したラテックス組成物が使用される。そして、予め表面に凝固液を塗布した陶器製又は金属製の立体形状の型を、前述したラテックス組成物に浸漬した後、引き上げて加熱乾燥し、皮膜を型から剥がして、所定形状の製品を得る。
本実施形態の評価方法により求めた析出率を利用すると、欠陥製品の発生を防止することができる。例えば、手袋などの浸漬成形製品の亀裂やピンホールの発生率と、原料であるポリクロロプレンラテックスの化学的安定性(本実施形態の評価方法で求めた析出率)との関係を調べておき、原料のポリクロロプレンラテックスの析出率を測定し、管理することで、製品に亀裂やピンホールが発生することを防止できる。
先ず、内容積3リットルの反応器に、窒素気流下で、水:100質量部、不均化ロジン酸:4質量部、水酸化ナトリウム:1.3質量部、ホルムアルデヒドナフタレンスルホン酸縮合物のナトリウム塩:0.8部を仕込み、溶解させた。その後、撹拌しながら、クロロプレン:90質量部、2,3-ジクロロ-1,3-ブタジエン10質量部、及びn-ドデシルメルカプタン:0.03質量部を加えた。そして、開始剤に過硫酸カリウムを使用し、窒素雰囲気下、35℃で重合を行い、重合率が85%に達したところでフェノチアジンの乳濁液を加えて重合を停止した。
固形分濃度(質量%)は、下記数式3により求めた。なお、下記数式3において、aはアルミニウム製の皿の質量(g)、bはこの皿にポリクロロプレンラテックスを2ml入れたときの質量(g)、cはポリクロロプレンラテックスを入れた皿を125℃で1時間乾燥させた後の質量(g)である。
ゲル含有量(トルエン不溶分)は、下記数式4により求めた。なお、下記数式4において、dはポリクロロプレンラテックスを凍結乾燥して秤量した値(g)である。また、eはポリクロロプレンラテックスをトルエンで23℃で20時間溶解して0.6質量%に調整したものを、遠心分離機で分離した後、更に200メッシュの金網を用いて分離したゲル分を、風乾後110℃雰囲気下で1時間乾燥し、秤量した値(g)である。
ポリオキシエチレンラウリルエーテル(花王株式会社製 エマルゲン150)の添加量を0.6質量部に減らした以外は、前述したラテックスAと同様の方法及び条件で、固形分濃度が40.0質量%、55.0質量%、70.0質量%のポリクロロプレンラテックス(ラテックスB)を得た。各ポリクロロプレンラテックスについて、ゲル含有量(トルエン不溶分)を測定したところ、濃縮後の濃度に関係なく、91%であった。
23℃に維持された室内で、容量225mlのガラス瓶に、ラテックスA又はラテックスBを50g入れ、400rpmで撹拌しながら、ビュレットを用いて、表1及び表2に示す凝固剤水溶液50gを、2分間かけて滴下した。凝固剤水溶液の全量を滴下した後、撹拌翼に付着した析出物を全てガラス瓶内に落とし、ガラス瓶を密閉して16時間静置した。析出物を、80メッシュ金網で濾過して、鋏で細かく刻み、水洗し、110℃で3時間乾燥させた。析出物の乾燥質量を測定し、上記数式2に基づいて析出率を計算した。以上の作業を10回繰り返し、析出率の平均値、標準偏差、変動係数を計算した。その結果を表1及び表2に示す。
