Description

  The present invention relates to an organic polymer having a hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable group bonded to a silicon atom and having a silicon group that can be crosslinked by forming a siloxane bond (hereinafter also referred to as “reactive silicon group”). It relates to the curable composition containing.

  The organic polymer having at least one reactive silicon group in the molecule is crosslinked at room temperature by the formation of a siloxane bond accompanied by a hydrolysis reaction of the reactive silicon group due to moisture, etc. It is known to have the property of being obtained.

  Among these polymers having a reactive silicon group, polyoxyalkylene polymers and polyisobutylene polymers having a main chain skeleton are disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, and are already industrially used.

  Among them, sealing materials and adhesives are generally used to fill joints and gaps between various parts and provide watertightness and airtightness as well as adhesion, so that they can be used for a long time. Is important, and sufficient strength and elongation are required.

  On the other hand, a curable composition containing an organic polymer having a reactive silicon group uses a silanol condensation catalyst to obtain a cured product. As the silanol condensation catalyst, an organic tin-based catalyst having a carbon-tin bond such as dibutyltin bis (acetylacetonate) or dibutyltin dilaurate is generally widely used. However, in recent years, toxicity of organotin compounds has been pointed out, and development of non-organotin catalysts has been demanded.

  In Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, Patent Document 5, and Patent Document 6, a carboxylic acid metal salt such as a carboxylic acid tin salt or a carboxylic acid bismuth salt can be used as a curing catalyst for an organic polymer having a reactive silicon group. It is disclosed that it is known that a cured product having excellent strength and elongation can be obtained as compared with the case where an organotin catalyst is used. However, when these carboxylic acid metal salts are used as a curing catalyst for an organic polymer having a reactive silicon group, in order to ensure practical curability and obtain a cured product having good strength and elongation, The use of a promoter such as amine or carboxylic acid is essential. On the other hand, however, the use of amines or carboxylic acids has a problem of reducing the adhesiveness of the cured product.

Furthermore, in recent years, studies using metal catalysts other than carboxylic acid metal salts as non-organotin-based catalysts have been made, and Patent Literature 7, Patent Literature 8, Patent Literature 9, Patent Literature 10, Patent Literature 11, Patent Literature 12, In Patent Literature 13, Patent Literature 14, Patent Literature 15, Patent Literature 16, Patent Literature 17, Patent Literature 18, Patent Literature 19, and Patent Literature 20, an alkoxy titanium catalyst or a titanium catalyst having a chelate ligand or a zirconium catalyst, Various metal catalysts have been disclosed. However, when the metal catalyst described in the above patent is used as a curing catalyst for an organic polymer having a reactive silicon group, the strength of the resulting cured product is higher than when an organic tin-based catalyst is used. There was room for improvement in growth.

  Furthermore, the organic polymer having a polyoxyalkylene polymer and a (meth) acrylic acid ester polymer in the main chain skeleton has high moisture permeability and was used as a main component of a one-pack type adhesive or a sealing material. At this time, the cured product obtained is excellent in deep part curability and has excellent adhesiveness, and an organic polymer having a polyoxyalkylene polymer in the main chain skeleton is most preferable.

The polyoxyalkylene polymer used as the main chain skeleton of the organic polymer (A) has the general formula (5):

Is preferable from the viewpoint of excellent physical properties, more preferably an organic polymer having a copolymer consisting of an acrylate compound and a methacrylic acid ester compound in the main chain skeleton, and an organic having a polymer consisting of an acrylate compound in the main chain skeleton Polymers are particularly preferred.

  When used for general building applications, the curable composition is required to have low viscosity, and the obtained cured product is required to have low modulus, high elongation, weather resistance, heat resistance, and the like.

  More preferably, the main chain skeleton of the organic polymer (A) is composed of a butyl acrylate compound to satisfy these requirements.

  The curable composition containing the organic polymer (A) having a main chain skeleton of a copolymer mainly composed of ethyl acrylate is excellent in oil resistance but slightly inferior in low-temperature characteristics (cold resistance). There is a tendency to replace a part of ethyl acrylate with butyl acrylate for the purpose of improving low temperature characteristics. However, as the ratio of butyl acrylate increases, its good oil resistance tends to be impaired. Therefore, when used in applications where oil resistance is required, the ratio is preferably 40% or less, Furthermore, it is more preferable to make it 30% or less.

  It is also preferable to use it for copolymer components such as 2-methoxyethyl acrylate and 2-ethoxyethyl acrylate in which oxygen is introduced into the side chain alkyl group in order to improve low temperature characteristics without impairing oil resistance. .

  However, since the resulting cured product tends to be inferior in heat resistance due to the introduction of an alkoxy group having an ether bond in the side chain, the ratio should be 40% or less when used in applications requiring heat resistance. Is preferred.

  As described above, the organic polymer (A) having a main chain skeleton of a copolymer mainly composed of ethyl acrylate is an oil resistance required for the resulting cured product according to various uses and required purposes. In consideration of physical properties such as properties, heat resistance, and low-temperature characteristics, it is possible to obtain a suitable polymer by changing the type and ratio of copolymer components. For example, although not particularly limited, examples of excellent balance of physical properties such as oil resistance, heat resistance, and low temperature characteristics include ethyl acrylate / butyl acrylate / 2-methoxyethyl acrylate (40 to 50/20 by weight). To 30/30 to 20).

  In the present invention, these preferred compounds can be copolymerized with other compounds, and further block copolymerized. In this case, these preferred compounds may be contained in a weight ratio of 40% or more. preferable.

  It does not specifically limit as a manufacturing method of a (meth) acrylic-ester type polymer, A well-known method is mention | raise | lifted. Among these, the living radical polymerization method is preferably used because it is easy to introduce a crosslinkable functional group at the molecular chain terminal at a high ratio, and a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution and a low viscosity can be obtained.

  A polymer obtained by a normal free radical polymerization method using an azo compound, a peroxide or the like as a polymerization initiator generally has a large molecular weight distribution value of 2 or more and tends to have a high viscosity.

  Among the methods for producing a (meth) acrylic acid ester polymer using the “living radical polymerization method”, an “atom” using an organic halide or a sulfonyl halide as an initiator and a transition metal complex as a catalyst In addition to the characteristics of “Living Radical Polymerization”, which has a narrow molecular weight distribution and a low-viscosity polymer is obtained, the “transfer radical polymerization” has a large degree of freedom in selecting initiators and catalysts, and is suitable for functional group conversion reactions. It is more preferable as a method for producing a (meth) acrylic acid ester-based polymer having a specific functional group because it has a relatively advantageous halogen at the terminal.

  Only one type of silane coupling agent may be added to the curable composition, or a plurality of types may be added in combination. When selecting a silane coupling agent, the hydrolyzability having the same structure as the hydrolyzable group of the organic polymer (A) is used for the purpose of preventing the surface curability of the curable composition from changing during storage. It is preferable to use one having a group. That is, when the hydrolyzable silyl group of the organic polymer (A) is a methoxysilyl group, the silane coupling agent also has a methoxysilyl group structure, and the hydrolyzable silyl group of the organic polymer (A) is ethoxysilyl.

  Among these polymer plasticizers, those having high compatibility with the organic polymer (A) are preferable, and examples thereof include polyethers and vinyl polymers. In addition, polyethers are more preferable because the surface curable property and deep-part curable property of the curable composition are good and the curing delay after storage does not occur. Specifically, polypropylene glycol is particularly preferable.

  In addition, a vinyl polymer is preferred because of high compatibility with the organic polymer (A) and good weather resistance and heat resistance of the resulting cured product. Among them, an acrylic polymer and / or a methacrylic polymer are preferred. Are more preferable, and acrylic polymers such as polyacrylic acid alkyl esters are particularly preferable.

  The method for producing the polyacrylic acid alkyl ester is not particularly limited, but a living radical polymerization method is preferable and an atom transfer radical polymerization method is more preferable because the molecular weight distribution is narrow and viscosity can be reduced.

If the molecular weight of the polymer plasticizer is too low, the plasticizer will flow out from the cured product over time due to heat or rain, and the initial physical properties cannot be maintained over a long period of time, which may cause contamination due to dust adhesion. Yes, alkyd paintability tends to be inferior. On the other hand, if the molecular weight is too high, the viscosity of the curable composition tends to be high and workability tends to be poor.

  The molecular weight distribution of the polymer plasticizer is not particularly limited, but is preferably narrow, less than 1.80, preferably 1.70 or less, more preferably 1.60 or less, further preferably 1.50 or less, and 1.40 or less.

  The polymer plasticizer may or may not have a reactive silicon group in the molecule, but when a polymer plasticizer having a reactive silicon group was added, the polymer plasticizer was incorporated into the curing reaction and obtained. This is preferable because migration of the plasticizer from the cured product can be prevented.

  As the polymeric plasticizer having a reactive silicon group, the average number of reactive silicon groups per molecule is preferably 1 or less, and more preferably 0.8 or less. When adding a plasticizer having a reactive silicon group, particularly an oxyalkylene polymer having a reactive silicon group, the number average molecular weight should be lower than that of the organic polymer (A) in order to obtain a sufficient plasticizing effect. preferable.

  Only one type of plasticizer may be added, or multiple types may be added in combination. Moreover, you may add together a low molecular plasticizer and a high molecular plasticizer. In addition, you may add these plasticizers at the time of manufacture of an organic polymer (A).

  In order to obtain a high-quality design, a scaly or granular substance is added to the curable composition of the present invention. Here, when a granular substance is added, the surface becomes sandy or sandstone-like rough, and when a scaly substance is added, it becomes an uneven surface due to scaly.
