TECHNICAL FIELD

The present technology relates to a one-part moisture-curable urethane composition and a method for producing such a composition.

BACKGROUND ART

Various urethane resin compositions have been widely used as sealing agents, adhesive agents, and the like.

As such urethane resin compositions, use of one-part moisture-curable polyurethane composition, which cures by moisture in the air or the like, has been increasing recently from the perspective of ease in handling that does not require mixing and/or adjusting the composition on site when the composition is used, or the like.

For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2000-128949A describes “a one-part moisture-curable polyurethane composition including: (A) a urethane prepolymer, and (B) a silane compound containing an average of at least 1.5 NCO groups and an average of at least 1.5 hydrolyzable alkoxy groups in each molecule, the silane compound containing at least one type selected from the group consisting of (B-1) a silane compound obtained by an addition reaction of a polyisocyanate compound having at least 3 NCO groups in each molecule and a secondary aminoalkoxysilane, wherein the polyisocyanate compound is a reaction product obtained by reacting a polyol that is a triol or higher polyol and that has a molecular weight of 500 or less with diisocyanate and (B-2) a silane compound that has a lysine backbone and that is obtained by an addition reaction of a lysine isocyanate having 2 or 3 isocyanate groups with a secondary aminoalkoxysilane” (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2000-128949A).

Note that, in the present specification, the condition where adhesion to an adherend (coated plate) is excellent may be simply referred to as “excellent adhesion”.

In the present technology, the preliminary composition is produced by mixing a urethane prepolymer, an aliphatic isocyanate A, and an aminosilane compound B. In the preliminary composition, the urethane prepolymer and the aminosilane compound B may be reacted. Furthermore, the aliphatic isocyanate A and the aminosilane compound B may be reacted. Therefore, the preliminary composition may further contain a reaction product formed by reacting the aminosilane compound B with the aliphatic isocyanate A, and/or a reaction product formed by reacting the aminosilane compound B with the urethane prepolymer, after the mixing.

The urethane prepolymer will be described below.

The method for producing the one-part moisture-curable urethane composition of the present technology (production method of the present technology) is a method for producing a one-part moisture-curable urethane composition, the method comprising:

a mixing step 1 of obtaining a preliminary composition by mixing a urethane prepolymer, an aliphatic isocyanate A, and an aminosilane compound B; and

a mixing step 2 of producing the one-part moisture-curable urethane composition of the present technology (composition of the present technology) by mixing the preliminary composition and a catalyst.

In the mixing step 1, a preliminary composition is obtained by mixing a urethane prepolymer, an aliphatic isocyanate A, and an aminosilane compound B.

The urethane prepolymer, the aliphatic isocyanate A, and the aminosilane compound B that are used in the mixing step 1 are the same as those described above.

In the mixing step 1, a filler and/or a plasticizer may be further used.

When the filler and/or the plasticizer is further used in the mixing step 1, the preliminary composition may be produced by first mixing the urethane prepolymer, the aliphatic isocyanate A, and the aminosilane compound B, and then adding the filler and/or the plasticizer to the mixture.

Furthermore, the preliminary composition may be produced by mixing the urethane prepolymer, the aliphatic isocyanate A, the aminosilane compound B, and the filler and/or the plasticizer at one time.

Furthermore, for example, the preliminary composition may be produced by mixing the urethane prepolymer, the plasticizer, and the aliphatic isocyanate A, then adding and mixing the aminosilane compound B, and then adding and mixing the filler to the mixture.

In the mixing step 1, for example, a vertical mixer or a horizontal mixer can be used.

The mixing temperature in the mixing step 1 is preferably from 40 to 90° C.

The mixing step 1 is preferably performed under reduced pressure.

Thereafter, in the mixing step 2, the composition of the present technology is produced by mixing the preliminary composition and a catalyst.

The catalyst used in the mixing step 2 is the same as that described above.

In the mixing step 2, for example, a vertical mixer or a horizontal mixer can be used.

The mixing temperature in the mixing step 2 is preferably from 40 to 70° C.

The mixing step 2 is preferably performed under reduced pressure.

When the composition of the present technology further contains an additive, the additive can be appropriately added in the mixing step 1 and/or 2.

EXAMPLES

The present technology will be described below in detail using examples. However, the present technology is not limited to these examples.

Production of Composition

In the mixing step 1, components shown in the “mixing step 1” row in Table 1 below in compositions (part by mass) shown in Table 1 were used and mixed by a horizontal mixer at 40 to 70° C. for 1 hour to produce a preliminary composition.

Thereafter, in the mixing step 2, components shown in the “mixing step 2” row in Table 1 below in compositions (part by mass) shown in Table 1 were added to the preliminary composition produced as described above, and mixed by a horizontal mixer to produce a composition.

Evaluation

The following evaluations were performed using the composition produced as described below. The results are shown in Table 1.

Adhesion to Coated Plates 1 and 2

To coated plates 1 and 2 obtained by respectively applying the coating materials 1 and 2 described below to steel plates, the compositions produced as described above were applied directly without using a primer. Thereafter, the coated plates were left in the condition at 20° C. and 60% relative humidity for 7 days, then immersed in warm water at 40° C. for 7 days, and dried in the condition at 20° C. after the coated plate was removed from the water. The thickness of the cured product of the composition after the composition was left in the condition at 20° C. and 60% relative humidity for 7 days was 3 mm (hereinafter the same).

One end of the cured product of the composition was then held and peeled back by 180 degrees in the condition at 20° C. to observe the failure state. Cases where the cohesive failure was observed on the cured product was evaluated as “CF”, and cases where the interfacial failure was observed on the cured product was evaluated as “AF”.

Coating material 1: Acid/epoxy-based coating material

Coating material 2: Acryl/silicon-based coating material

Time Required for CF to Occur

Each of the compositions produced as described above was directly applied on the coated plate 2 without using a primer and cured in the condition at 20° C. or 5° C. and 60% relative humidity.

Thereafter, one end of the cured product of the composition was then held and peeled back by 180 degrees in the condition at 20° C. to evaluate the time required for cohesive failure (CF) to occur on the cured product of the composition.

For the test in which the curing was performed in the condition at 20° C., the 180° peel test was performed after 3 days from the start of the curing, and if the failure state at this time was CF, the result was described as “within 3 days”.

The 180° peel test was performed on the fourth day, and if the failure state on the third day was AF but the failure state on the fourth day was CF, the result was described as “4 days”.

The 180° peel test was performed on the tenth day, and if the failure state at this time was AF, the result was described as “10 days or longer”.

For the test in which the curing was performed in the condition at 5° C., the 180° peel test was performed after seven days from the start of the curing, and if the failure state at this time was CF, the result was described as “7 days”.

The 180° peel test was performed on the eighth day, and if the failure state on the seventh day was AF but the failure state on the eighth day was CF, the result was described as “8 days”.

The 180° peel test was performed on the ninth day, and if the failure state on the eighth day was AF but the failure state on the ninth day was CF, the result was described as “9 days”.

The 180° peel test was performed on the tenth day, and if the failure state on the ninth day was AF but the failure state on the tenth day was CF, the result was described as “10 days”.

The 180° peel test was performed on the 21st day, and if the failure state at this time was AF, the result was described as “3 W or longer”.

Curability (Curing Rate)

The tack-free time in the case where each of the compositions produced as described above was cured in the condition at 20° C. and 65% relative humidity was measured.

The composition having a tack-free time of 20 to 120 minutes was evaluated as having excellent curability and written as “◯”, and the composition having a tack-free time of longer than 120 minutes was evaluated as having poor curability and written as “×”.

Storage Stability

Each of the compositions produced as described above was placed in a container, sealed, and stored for 7 days at 50° C. Thereafter, SOD viscosity (Pa·s) was measured, and the rate of the viscosity increase was calculated using the SOD viscosity prior to the storage.

Note that the SOD viscosity was measured using a pressure viscometer (ASTM D 1092) in accordance with JASO (Japanese Automotive Standards Organization) M338-89.

Cases where the rate of the viscosity increase was within 30%, the storage stability was evaluated as being excellent and written as “◯”, and the other cases were evaluated and written as “×”.

As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which contained no aminosilane compound, exhibited low adhesion.

Comparative Examples 3 and 4, which contained no aliphatic isocyanate A, exhibited low adhesion.

Comparative Examples 5 to 7, which contained no aliphatic isocyanate A and no aminosilane compound but instead contained the adduct 1 or the adduct 2, required a long period of time for cohesive failure to occur and exhibited low adhesion.
