Description

Urethane adhesives and adhesive sheets

The present invention relates to a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive and a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on a base sheet have been widely used as surface protection sheets for various members. Examples of the adhesive include an acrylic adhesive, a silicone adhesive, and a urethane adhesive. Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives have excellent adhesive strength, but are poor in removability after being adhered to an adherend because of their strong adhesive strength. In particular, after aging in a (moisture) heat environment, the re-peelability is further reduced due to the increase in the adhesive strength, and the adherend tends to be liable to be caused to remain on the surface of the adherend after re-peeling. is there. Silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are liable to cause contamination on adherends, and furthermore, silicone resin having a relatively low molecular weight may be volatilized and adsorbed on the surface of equipment such as electronic devices to cause problems. On the other hand, the urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive has good adhesion to the adherend, relatively excellent removability, and is unlikely to volatilize.
In the present specification, the “adhesive” is an adhesive having removability (removable adhesive), and the “adhesive sheet” is an adhesive sheet having removability (removable adhesive sheet).

Etc.) and surface protection sheets for optical members and the like.

A general method for manufacturing a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet includes a coating step of coating a pressure-sensitive adhesive on a base sheet, and a heat-drying treatment of the formed coating layer to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a cured product of the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The method includes a heating step, a winding step of winding the obtained pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet around a core to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet roll, and a curing step of curing the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet roll.

It is preferable that the urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive has good initial curability while having a good pot life.

Before and after aging by adding at least one surfactant (S) having a cationic hydrophilic group to an adhesive containing the active hydrogen group-containing compound (H) and the polyfunctional isocyanate compound (I) The adhesive strength of the adhesive layer can be reduced, and an increase in the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer in a (moist) heat environment can be suppressed. As a result, even when exposed to a (moist) heat environment, it is possible to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having good removability and free from adherent contamination in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive component remains on the surface of the adherend after re-peeling. It becomes possible.
Although this mechanism is not always clear, it is speculated as follows.
A glass substrate, an ITO / glass substrate in which an ITO (indium tin oxide) film is formed on a glass substrate, and a surfactant having a cationic hydrophilic group for the interfacial interaction between an adherend such as an optical member and an adhesive layer ( It is considered that by cutting off S), the adhesive layer has low adhesive strength before and after aging, and the removability is improved.

When the amine value of the surfactant (S) in terms of non-volatile components is 0.1 mg KOH / g or more, the above-mentioned effects (particularly, reduction of the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer in a (wet) heat environment and removability by the adhesive) Improvement and reduction of adherend contamination) can be significantly exhibited.
If the amine value of the surfactant (S) is too high, the interaction between the adherend and the surfactant (S) becomes too large. In particular, under a (wet) heat environment, the surfactant (S) Bleed out may occur and adherend contamination may occur after re-peeling. When the amine value is 160 mgKOH / g or less, preferably 0.1 to 150 mgKOH / g in terms of a nonvolatile component, the interaction between the adherend and the adhesive layer can be suppressed while suppressing the bleed out of the surfactant (S). It is thought that it can be cut off.

Since the above-mentioned functions and effects (especially, the lowering of the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer in a (wet) heat environment, the improvement of removability and the reduction of contamination of the adherend) are effectively exhibited, the amine value is calculated as a nonvolatile content. It is preferably 0.1 to 150 mg KOH / g, more preferably 0.1 to 100 mg KOH / g, particularly preferably 0.1 to 60 mg KOH / g, and most preferably 0.1 to 30 mg KOH / g.

Is 20 mgKOH / g or less, particularly preferably 10 mgKOH / g or less, and most preferably 0 mgKOH / g.

The amine value, acid value, and non-volatile content can be measured by the following methods.

Perform a titration. The amine value (unit: mgKOH / g) is determined by the following equation.

In the formula, each symbol indicates the following parameter.
S: sampled amount (g),
a: consumption of 0.1N-alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution (ml),
F: Factor of 0.1N-alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution.

<Nonvolatile content>
Approximately 1 g of the sample solution is weighed in a metal container, dried in an oven at 150 ° C. for 20 minutes, the residue is weighed, and the residual ratio is calculated.

The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the surfactant (S) is not particularly limited, and is preferably 500 or more, more preferably 1000 or more, and particularly preferably 2000 or more. When Mw is 500 or more, the bleed out of the surfactant (S) after aging (particularly after (wet) heat aging) can be effectively suppressed, and the adherend contamination can be improved.
