Description

エポキシ硬化剤Epoxy curing agent
 本発明は、エポキシ硬化剤、それを含有するエポキシ樹脂組成物、及びそれから得られるエポキシ樹脂硬化物に関する。 The present invention relates to an epoxy curing agent, an epoxy resin composition containing the same, and an epoxy resin cured product obtained therefrom.
 エポキシ樹脂をエポキシ硬化剤によって硬化、固化又は架橋して得られるエポキシ樹脂硬化物は、金属、木材、コンクリート等の表面コーティングの他、塗料、接着剤、床材、コンクリート用建造物や風車ブレード等の土木・建築材料用途等の幅広い用途で使用されている。
 構造物表面に均一な皮膜を形成する際、低反応性のエポキシ硬化剤が一般的に使用されている。例えば、入り組んだ構造を有する構造物表面や大型の構造物表面に皮膜を形成する場合には、作業時間を十分に確保するという観点から低反応性のエポキシ硬化剤が求められている。
 低反応性のエポキシ硬化剤として、ポリエーテルポリアミンが一般的に使用されている。しかしながらポリエーテルポリアミンを使用した場合でも、作業時間が十分に確保されない場合がある。
Epoxy resin cured products obtained by curing, solidifying, or cross-linking epoxy resins with epoxy curing agents include coatings, adhesives, flooring, concrete structures, windmill blades, etc., as well as surface coatings for metals, wood, concrete, etc. It is used in a wide range of applications such as civil engineering and building materials.
In forming a uniform film on the structure surface, a low-reactivity epoxy curing agent is generally used. For example, in the case where a film is formed on the surface of a structure having an intricate structure or a large structure, a low-reactivity epoxy curing agent is required from the viewpoint of ensuring sufficient working time.
Polyether polyamines are commonly used as low-reactivity epoxy curing agents. However, even when a polyether polyamine is used, the working time may not be sufficiently secured.
 一方、床材やコンクリート用建造物、風車ブレード等の用途では、アミンとエポキシ組成物から製品を製造する際の作業時間が長いアミン系硬化剤が好まれ、かつ得られるエポキシ樹脂の機械強度も必要とされる。 On the other hand, for applications such as flooring, concrete structures and windmill blades, amine-based curing agents with a long working time when manufacturing products from amines and epoxy compositions are preferred, and the mechanical strength of the resulting epoxy resin is also high. Needed.
 このようなエポキシ硬化剤としては、例えば、エチレンジアミンやジエチレントリアミン等のポリアルキレンポリアミンが使用されるが、この場合、アミンとエポキシ化合物との硬化速度が非常に速いため、十分な作業時間が確保されない。また、低反応性のエポキシ硬化剤として、上記したポリエーテルポリアミンを使用した場合でも、作業時間が十分に確保されない場合がある。
 そのため、ポリアルキレンポリアミンの反応性をさらに低減したジアルキルジエチレントリアミン類(例えば、特許文献1、特許文献2参照)が提案されている。
 しかしながら、これらのジアルキルジエチレントリアミン類では依然として反応性は高く、入り組んだ構造を有する構造物表面や大型の構造物表面のコーティング材料として使用する場合には十分でなかった。
 また、得られるエポキシ樹脂硬化物の機械強度が低下するという問題もあった。
As such an epoxy curing agent, for example, polyalkylene polyamines such as ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine are used. In this case, the curing speed of the amine and the epoxy compound is very fast, so that a sufficient working time cannot be ensured. Further, even when the above-described polyether polyamine is used as the low-reactivity epoxy curing agent, the working time may not be sufficiently ensured.
Therefore, dialkyldiethylenetriamines (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) in which the reactivity of polyalkylenepolyamine is further reduced have been proposed.
However, these dialkyldiethylenetriamines are still highly reactive and are not sufficient when used as a coating material for the surface of a structure having an intricate structure or the surface of a large structure.
Moreover, there also existed a problem that the mechanical strength of the epoxy resin hardened material obtained fell.
