Definitions

  • This invention relates to curable compositions comprising reactive silane functionality and, in other aspects, to processes for coating the compositions and articles prepared thereby.
  • Curable polysiloxane compositions have been used to prepare a variety of surface coatings and surface treatments, ranging from encapsulants and release coatings to pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).
  • Some of the curable polysiloxane compositions are moisture-curable (for example, by hydrolysis and subsequent condensation).
  • the moisture for curing is typically obtained from the atmosphere or from a substrate to which the composition has been applied, although it can also be added to the composition (for example, to enable curing in depth or in confinement).
  • Moisture-curable polysiloxane compositions usually comprise siloxane polymers having groups (for example, alkoxysilyl or acyloxysilyl moieties) that can react in the presence of moisture to form cured (that is, crosslinked) materials.
  • groups for example, alkoxysilyl or acyloxysilyl moieties
  • Commonly used catalysts include Bronsted and Lewis acids (including a variety of metal complexes).
  • curable polysiloxane compositions can be cured through various different mechanistic routes including peroxide cure, hydrosilylation, condensation, high energy radiation cure, and photoinitiated radiation cure.
  • peroxide cure hydrosilylation
  • condensation condensation
  • high energy radiation cure high energy radiation cure
  • photoinitiated radiation cure two different types of cure chemistries generally have been used to prepare silicone PSAs.
  • Peroxide cure involves a free radical curing mechanism and has been used to bond non- functional silicone polymers to Q resins. Curing can be performed in a temperature range of about 150-170°C by using, for example, either dibenzoyl peroxide or dichlorobenzoyl peroxide as a radical initiator. Peroxide curing is a two-step process that generally requires the use of a multi-zone oven to remove solvent from a curable composition prior to curing.
  • Platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation cure is the other commonly-employed cure chemistry for silicone PSAs.
  • This method involves an addition curing mechanism and has been used to cure compositions comprising vinyl-terminated silicone base polymer(s), vinyl-functionalized Q resin(s), and silane crosslinker(s).
  • a curable composition can be cured in a vented, continuous coating oven at temperatures as low as about 80°C (176°F).
  • typical curing speeds have ranged from about 2 minutes at about 100°C (212°F) to about 1 minute at about 125°C (257°F).
  • silicone PSAs exhibit many useful properties (for example, performance at high temperatures; resistance to chemicals, moisture, weathering, and ultraviolet (UV) light; adhesion to low energy surfaces; and electrical insulating properties), such curing method drawbacks impede the use of silicone PSAs.
  • tin catalysts such as dibutyl tin dilaurate can provide stable curable polysiloxane compositions that can be processed and coated without premature gelation.
  • curable compositions comprising dual reactive silane functionality in the form of hydrosilyl and hydroxysilyl groups (dehydrogenatively-curable systems) can be cured by using tin catalysts.
  • the compositions have been widely used for pressure-sensitive adhesive and mold release applications but have sometimes suffered from relatively short pot lives.
  • the use of tin catalysts is becoming particularly problematic because the organotin compounds generally employed as catalysts are now considered to be toxicologically objectionable.
  • compositions that can provide acceptable cure rates without significant processing and storage difficulties (for example, due to premature gelation).
  • these compositions will be efficiently processable (for example, without the need for mixing of a two-part system prior to cure or without the need for relatively large quantities of solvent), will employ catalysts that do not generate species requiring removal, and/or will not require heat activation (so as to enable curing at relatively low temperatures and/or the use of heat- sensitive substrates).
  • the compositions will employ catalysts that are relatively non-toxic, provide compositions that are relatively stable in solution but relatively fast-curing upon drying, effective in relatively low concentrations, and/or effective under relatively low (or no) moisture conditions.

  • the composition preferably further comprises at least one solvent (for example, an aprotic organic solvent such as heptanes).
  • iron (II) complexes which are ineffective
  • iron (III) complexes can effectively catalyze the curing (apparently, by dehydrocondensation) of polysiloxane compositions comprising reactive silane functionality in the form of hydrosilyl and hydroxysilyl moieties.
  • the complexes can provide relatively rapid cure (for example, upon removal of solvent curing can occur within periods of time as short as about 1 or 2 minutes) even at temperatures as low as about 50°C (or lower, if radiation curing is carried out), and can be effective in relatively small amounts (for example, at concentrations as low as about 0.5 or 0.25 weight percent or less, based upon the total weight of components (a), (b), and (c)).
  • polysiloxane compositions comprising the complexes can be suitable for use in high speed coating and curing operations in an industrial setting.
  • compositions can exhibit relatively good storage stability (for example, for a period of weeks in a closed container) and/or relatively long pot life (for example, on the order of 8 hours or more) in a variety of solvents (for example, heptane, methyl ethyl ketone, or a combination thereof), without the need for mixing of a two- part system immediately prior to use.
  • solvents for example, heptane, methyl ethyl ketone, or a combination thereof

  • At least some of the complexes are relatively non-toxic (as well as being effective in relatively smaller amounts than tin catalysts) and therefore suitable for use in preparing relatively environmentally friendly or green polysiloxane compositions.
  • the curable polysiloxane composition of the invention can be cured to provide crosslinked networks having properties that can be tailored to the requirements of various different applications (for example, by varying the natures, relative amounts, and/or degrees of reactive silane functionality of starting components (a) and/or (b)).
  • the curable polysiloxane composition can be used to provide coatings having a variety of surface properties for use in numerous coating applications (for example, use as encapsulants or sealants, pressure-sensitive adhesives (with the addition of tackifying resin to the composition), release coatings for pressure-sensitive adhesives, protective coatings, water- and/or oil- repellent coatings or surface treatments, and the like).
  • the curable polysiloxane composition of the invention can be particularly useful in relatively sensitive applications requiring careful and/or tailored control of surface properties (for example, release coating applications and/or pressure-sensitive adhesive applications), as the iron (III) catalysts do not appear to produce species requiring removal.
