Description

  The present invention relates to a novel polyether compound, an active hydrogen component comprising the polyether, a resin-forming composition using the polyether or active hydrogen component, and a foam (particularly polyurethane foam) using the polyether or active hydrogen component. ), A method for producing an active hydrogen component and a foam, etc., using a polyether having a high degree of primary hydroxyl group terminalization. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyether having a high primary ratio of terminal hydroxyl groups and use thereof.

<Polyether and resin composition>
Polyethers such as polyoxyalkylene polyols obtained by ring-opening reaction of monoepoxides such as alkylene oxide (hereinafter abbreviated as AO) to active hydrogen compounds are resin raw materials such as polyurethane and polyester, surfactants, lubricants Widely used in chemicals and other applications. In particular, aromatic polyester resins, unsaturated polyester resins, thermoplastic polyester elastomers, thermosetting urethane resins, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers, acrylic resins for the purpose of imparting properties such as flexibility, flexibility, low temperature rubber elasticity, Conventionally, utilization of various polyether compounds has been studied. Further, as this polyether compound, it is known that a polyether compound having a side chain, for example, a propylene oxide (hereinafter abbreviated as PO) adduct of glycerin or polypropylene glycol is highly effective. Generally, it is obtained by subjecting PO to ring-opening addition polymerization in the presence of an alkali catalyst on a hydroxyl group-containing compound such as glycerin or propylene glycol.

  However, when a ring-opening polymer containing only PO is used in such a method, most of the terminal hydroxyl groups are secondary hydroxyl groups, and the primary hydroxyl groups are usually present in less than 5%. Is too low, it takes an enormous amount of time to obtain the reaction rate until the original physical properties are expressed, and is not practical. In order to solve such problems, a polyether having a higher ratio of terminal primary hydroxyl groups is obtained by performing ring-opening addition polymerization of ethylene oxide (hereinafter abbreviated as EO) following ring-opening addition polymerization of PO. It is often done.

  However, since the polyether obtained by addition polymerization of a large amount of EO at the terminal in this way has increased hydrophilicity, the cured resin using it has a water-absorbing property in many applications such as molded products, adhesives, paints and films. It has undesirable properties such as an increase in water resistance and deterioration in water resistance, and can only be used for limited applications.

<Rigid polyurethane foam>
Conventionally, rigid polyurethane foam has been widely used as a heat insulating material for civil engineering construction, transportation equipment, and home appliances. In recent years, in order to improve productivity, polyols having a higher primary OH conversion rate have been used in order to improve reactivity with isocyanates. Normally, AO adducts with EO added to the ends are used as polyols with a higher primary OH conversion rate, but rigid polyurethane foams using AO adducts with EO added to the ends in the usual way Although it has excellent curability, it has problems that it swells upon demolding and foam strength is small.

<Semi-rigid polyurethane foam>
Conventionally, semi-rigid polyurethane foams have been widely used as shock absorbers and cushioning materials for automobile interior materials. In recent years, in order to improve productivity, polyols having a higher primary OH conversion rate have been used in order to improve reactivity with isocyanates. Normally, AO adducts with EO added to the ends are used as polyols with a higher primary OH conversion rate, but semi-rigid polyurethanes using AO adducts with EO added to the ends in the usual way Although the foam is excellent in curability, it has a problem that it swells upon demolding and conversely has a large shrinkage.

<Soft polyurethane foam>
Conventionally, the polyether polyol used as a method for producing a flexible polyurethane foam is one in which EO is further added to the end of the polypropylene polyol for the purpose of increasing the primary hydroxyl group conversion rate from the viewpoint of reactivity with the isocyanate used. in use. In the conventional method, since the EO unit which is a hydrophilic group is contained, there is a problem that the moisture resistance of the obtained foam is lowered.

  Moreover, only the urethane foam in which the density of the skin part of the urethane foam manufactured using such a polyether polyol is non-uniform so that the density of the skin part is larger than that of the core part can be obtained. For this reason, it is necessary to adjust the physical properties of the urethane foam in accordance with the physical properties of the low density part, that is, the core part. As a result, the entire urethane foam has a relatively high foam density design. There is.

<Soft polyurethane slab foam>
Conventionally, it is widely known that a polyether polyol and an organic polyisocyanate are reacted in the presence of a foaming agent, a catalyst, a foam stabilizer and the like as a method for producing a flexible polyurethane slab foam. However, conventionally, it has been necessary to use a large amount of an organic heavy metal catalyst that is expensive and may adversely affect the environment in order to stabilize the cells when foaming polyurethane slab foam.

<Polyether and resin composition>
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a polyether compound suitable for a polyol component having sufficient reactivity as a raw material for producing a resin without impairing the hydrophobicity of the polyether, and the polyether compound Is to provide a resin obtained from

<Soft polyurethane slab foam>
A further object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a flexible polyurethane slab foam which is excellent in foaming stability and can be produced without using a large amount of an organic heavy metal catalyst.

  The above AO adduct contains the catalyst (α), but (α) may be decomposed and / or removed. As a decomposition method, there is a method of adding water and / or an alcohol compound and, if necessary, a basic substance such as a caustic alkali or an amine compound.

A polyol having a higher primary OH conversion rate can be obtained by further adding EO to the polyol obtained by adding AO, but the primary OH conversion rate of the terminal hydroxyl group of the polyol before the addition is 40%. Since it is extremely large as described above, the primary OH conversion rate of the terminal hydroxyl group can be increased with a small amount of EO used. When the EO addition mole number per active hydrogen is x and the primary OH conversion rate is y, x and y satisfies the above relationship. In addition, the catalyst used for the EO addition may use the boron or aluminum compound as it is, or may use another catalyst that is usually used instead.

Although the usage-amount of a catalyst is not specifically limited, Preferably it is 0.0001-10 mass% with respect to the polymer to produce | generate, More preferably, it is 0.001-1 mass%.

  As a conventional method for producing a polyol, the primary OH conversion rate of a terminal hydroxyl group of a polyol obtained by reacting 1,2-AO having 3 or more carbon atoms in the presence of an alkali catalyst is extremely low (for example, hydroxylation). When potassium is used, it is usually 2% or less), and most terminal hydroxyl groups are secondary or tertiary hydroxyl groups. For this reason, this polyol has insufficient reactivity with a reactive group such as an isocyanate group, and a method in which EO is further added to secure sufficient reactivity is known.

  However, unless a large amount of EO is added, the primary OH conversion rate of the terminal hydroxyl group does not increase. Therefore, x and y do not satisfy the above range, where x is the number of moles of EO added per active hydrogen, and y is the primary OH conversion rate.

  Further, when the number of EO addition moles per active hydrogen of the active hydrogen-containing compound is 20 or less, the primary OH conversion rate y is 40% or more, and x and y are 10 to 20 When the expressions (1) and x are 10 or less, the relationship of the expression (2) is satisfied.

y ≧ 42x ^0.47 (1-x / 41) (2)

  The added mole number x is preferably 19 or less, more preferably 0.1 to 18. The primary OH conversion rate y is preferably 60% or more, more preferably 70% or more.

  Further, when x is 10 or less, x and y preferably satisfy the relationship of the following formula (2 ′), and more preferably satisfy the relationship of the following formula (2 ″).

(However, x is 10 or less)

(However, x is 10 or less)

  When the relationship between x and y and x and y is within the above ranges, both hydrophobicity and reactivity are good.

The amount is usually 1 mol to 200 mol, preferably 1 to 100 mol per hydrogen, and is appropriately selected depending on the molecular weight of the hydroxyl group-containing compound to be produced and its application.

  Moreover, the thing preferable as a monohydroxy polyether and a polyhydroxy polyether is a polyhydroxy polyether from the usefulness as a raw material.

  Next, the polyether polyol according to the third aspect of the present invention is obtained by randomly and / or block-adding AO containing EO as a main component of 1,2-AO having 3 or more carbon atoms to an active hydrogen compound. It is a polyether polyol in which (HLB) and the primary OH conversion rate (%) of the terminal hydroxyl group of the polyether polyol are represented by the formula (6).

A block is particularly preferable as the addition type, and is a terminal EO block product of the PO adduct.

  The amount of EO used is preferably 30% by mass or less, more preferably 0.1 to 20% by mass, and particularly preferably 1 to 15% by mass based on the total mass of AO to be used.

  When the amount of EO used is 30% by mass or less, the hydrophobicity is good.

  The average number of hydroxyl groups per molecule of the polyol of the third invention is preferably 2 to 4, more preferably 2.5 to 4.

  In the third invention, the mass average value of the polyol (HLB) and the mass average value (%) of the primary hydroxylation rate of the terminal hydroxyl group are in the relationship represented by the formula (6). The mass average value is preferably 7 or less, more preferably 5 or less.

  The mass average value of HLB means “each HLB of each polyol multiplied by its mass fraction (the mass of each polyether polyol divided by the sum of the masses of all polyether polyols)” It is a value obtained by calculating for all the polyether polyols and summing them. That is, it is expressed by the following formula (12).

(Mass average value of HLB) = Σ (HLB × mass fraction) (12)

  The HLB here is calculated by a method obtained from the ratio of the inorganic value and the organic value of the compound devised by Mr. Oda (Oda, “Teijin Times, p. 22, Vol. 9 ( 1952); Oda, Teramura, “Synthesis of surfactants and their applications”, page 501, Tsuji Shoten; etc.).

  The mass average value (%) of the terminal hydroxyl group primary ratio of the polyether polyol of the third invention is usually at least 40%, preferably at least 60%, more preferably at least 70%.

  This polyol can be obtained in the same manner as the polyol of the first invention.

  According to this method, the terminal hydroxyl group primary conversion rate of the polyether polyol before adding EO is as large as 40% or more, so the terminal hydroxyl group primary conversion rate can be increased with a small amount of EO used. It becomes possible to satisfy the relational expression (6) without reducing the hydrophobicity of the obtained polyether polyol. By satisfy | filling the relationship of Formula (6), it can be set as the polyol excellent in both hydrophobicity and reactivity.

  As a conventional method for producing a polyether polyol, the degree of primary hydroxylation of the polyether polyol obtained by reacting PO in the presence of an alkali catalyst is extremely low (for example, when potassium hydroxide is used). Usually 2% or less), most terminal hydroxyl groups are secondary hydroxyl groups. For this reason, this polyol has insufficient reactivity, and a method of further adding EO is known in order to ensure sufficient reactivity.

  However, since a terminal hydroxyl group does not become a primary hydroxyl group unless a large amount of EO is added, the hydrophobicity of the polyether polyol is lowered due to the high hydrophilicity of EO. Therefore, the polyol obtained by the conventional method cannot satisfy the relational expression of the formula (6).

  By using a polyether that satisfies any one or more of the requirements of the first to third inventions as a polyol component such as a polyurethane resin, a polyester resin, an epoxy resin, or an acrylic resin, the polyol component is hydrophobic. And is highly reactive with isocyanates, carboxylic acids, and epoxies. That is, the resin derived from the polyether of the present invention is characterized by high reactivity during production and low humidity dependency of resin physical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break, bending strength, etc.). This resin can be used in various applications such as foams, elastomers, and coating materials. Examples of foams include automotive cushioning materials, sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials, and handles. Examples of elastomers include cast potting materials. Examples of coating materials include adhesives and paints. It is also useful as a raw material for surfactant compositions such as fiber treatment oils, cleaning agents, and antifoaming agents.
