Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a cured product, and more specifically, provides a method for producing a cured product and a cured product having excellent transparency by reducing the amount of a hydrosilylation catalyst.

  High transparency and heat resistance are required for optical materials including various protective coating agents used in liquid crystal display devices, LED sealants and die bond agents, and various sensor coating agents (Patent Documents 1 to 3). . On the other hand, when a curable composition having a high glass transition temperature (Tg) is used as a cured product used for an optical material, a high internal stress is generated while the composition is cooled from Tg to room temperature, generating cracks and packaging. This may cause peeling from the material. As a method for reducing the above-mentioned internal stress, there is a method of designing a curable composition so that the Tg of the composition is lower than that in the past. However, when curing is performed using a composition designed for this purpose, there is a problem that transparency of the cured product is impaired.

Examples of the removing method include treatment with activated carbon, aluminum silicate, silica gel and the like in addition to devolatilization under reduced pressure. When devolatilizing under reduced pressure, it is preferable to treat at a low temperature. The upper limit of the preferable temperature in this case is 100 ° C, more preferably 60 ° C.
