  • Patent number: 8211330
    Abstract: A latent epoxy resin curing agent is provided which can be manufactured without using an amphiphilic polymer compound requiring a painful trial and error selection process, exhibits excellent solvent resistance and low-temperature fast-curing ability, and contains an imidazole-based compound as a main component. In the latent epoxy resin curing agent containing the imidazole-based compound as a main component, the adduct particles of the epoxy-based compound and the imidazole-based compound are coated with an ethyl cellulose film, and the surface thereof is crosslinked with a polyfunctional isocyanate compound. The epoxy-based compound, the imidazole-based compound, and ethyl cellulose are dissolved in a predetermined saturated hydrocarbon-based solvent under stirring and heating. Then, the epoxy-based compound and the imidazole-based compound are subjected to adduct reaction to obtain a slurry of the adduct.

  • Patent number: 8128837
    Abstract: A latent epoxy resin curing agent is provided which exhibits excellent solvent resistance and low-temperature fast-curing ability, and contains an imidazole-based compound as a main component. In the latent epoxy resin curing agent containing the imidazole-based compound as a main component, adduct particles formed through adduct reaction of an epoxy-based compound with the particulate imidazole-based compound are coated with an ethyl cellulose film. Furthermore, the surfaces of the adduct particles may be crosslinked with a polyfunctional isocyanate compound. A mixture of the epoxy-based compound, the particulate imidazole-based compound, and ethyl cellulose in a predetermined saturated hydrocarbon-based solvent is heated under stirring. Then, the epoxy-based compound and the particulate imidazole-based compound are subjected to adduct reaction to give a slurry of the adduct. After the slurry is cooled, the latent epoxy resin curing agent is filtrated.

  • Publication number: 20090230360
    Abstract: An aluminum chelate-based latent curing agent, which can cure a thermosetting epoxy resin at a relatively low temperature in a short time, is made latent by reacting a silsesquioxane-type oxetane derivative with an aluminum chelating agent in the presence of an alicyclic epoxy compound, and then further reacting the resultant mixture with a liquid epoxy resin and an imidazole compound or with an aromatic vinyl compound and a radical polymerization initiator.

  • Patent number: 7557230
    Abstract: An aluminum chelate-based latent curing agent capable of curing a thermosetting epoxy resin under the condition of relatively low temperature in a short period of time is provided. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing the latent curing agent is provided, in which the curing conditions of the aluminum chelate-based latent curing agent can be controlled relatively easily. The aluminum chelate-based latent curing agent is prepared by reacting an aluminum chelate agent with a silsesquioxane type oxetane derivative in the presence of a water insoluble or poorly water-soluble cellulose ether, whereby latency properties are imparted thereto. This latent curing agent contains a coating layer composed of the water insoluble or poorly water-soluble cellulose ether. Preferably, the surface is treated with an isocyanate compound.

  • Patent number: 6811847
    Abstract: A printing medium is manufactured by forming a primer layer 12 and an adhesive layer 13 successively on the rubbed surface of a base film 11 and wound into a roll 15. When the printing medium is delivered from roll 15, adhesive layer 13 does not remain on the roll 15 side even if adhesive layer 13 has a low adhesive power because the adhesion between adhesive layer 13 and primer layer 12 is strong while the adhesion between adhesive layer 13 and base film 11 in roll 15 is weak. The printing medium can be run in a printer without using a release film because adhesive layer 13 has a low adhesive power.

  • Patent number: 6534172
    Abstract: A technique for improving the adhesive force between a biodegradable base film and a rubbery adhesive layer. An adhesive tape is obtained by rubbing the surface of a biodegradable film 9 by a means of rubbing 7 and then applying solution of ingredients of adhesive layer thereonto, thus forming an adhesive layer. The adhesion force between the base film and the adhesive layer is improved by the rubbing treatment. When the solution of ingredients of adhesive layer is an aqueous system, it is also possible that solution of ingredients of primer layer containing an organic compound as a solvent is applied onto the rubbed surface to thereby form a primer layer followed by the formation of the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer may contain fillers, coloring agents, age resistors, etc. so long as the biodegradability is not deteriorated thereby. It is preferable that a separate film to be bonded to the surface of the adhesive layer is also a biodegradable one.

  • Patent number: 6274213
    Abstract: A double-faced adhesive tape without release liner is provided. A weakly adhesive layer 12 having a relatively weak adhesive force is formed on one face of a resin film 11 and a strongly adhesive layer 13 having a stronger adhesive force than that of the weakly adhesive layer 12 is formed on the other face and the assembly is formed into a roll of a double-faced adhesive tape 5. The weakly adhesive layer 12 is formed after the surface of the resin film 11 has been subjected to a rubbing treatment to increase the adhesive force between them, so that the weakly adhesive layer 12 and the strongly adhesive layer 13 are separated without using a release liner when the tape is rolled up.
