Description

Adhesive Composition, Sheet Gasket, Floor Material, Cushioning Material, and Sealing Material

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive composition used for forming an adhesive layer, and a sheet gasket, a floor material, a sealing material inside an automobile door, a cushioning material for a fuel tank, a sealing material for electronic components, a cushioning material for a lithium ion battery, a sealing material between a solar cell panel and a support member of a solar cell module for a solar cell, a sealing material for electronic equipment, a sealing material for an electrolysis device, and a sealing material.

[0002] A fuel cell (FEFC) consists of an ion exchange membrane (electrolyte), an oxygen electrode, a hydrogen electrode, a support current collector, and a carbon separator having a rectifying groove for flowing gas on one side and a rectifying groove for flowing cooling water on the other side. A single cell is formed by sandwiching the ion exchange membrane and both electrodes integrated by this separator.

[0003] Then, a large number of single cells are arranged and stacked to form a stack, and current collecting plates made of metal are interposed at both ends of the stack to form external current extraction terminals. Further, a tightening plate is arranged through an insulating plate, and the whole is tightened with bolts to be integrated to constitute a fuel cell.

[0004] In such a separator for a fuel cell, a gasket is used to prevent leakage of cooling water. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a separator used for a fuel cell in which electrodes are arranged on both sides of an ion exchange membrane and these are sandwiched by a separator to form a single cell, and a gasket or a rubber ring is integrally bonded to the separator.

[0005] In addition, in automotive electronic components, it is necessary to block the internal electronic component body from the outside air. Therefore, a sealing material with excellent sealing performance is required for the contact part between the external connection component and the housing, and the overlapping part between the housings. Also, in electronic equipment used other than automobiles, it is necessary to block the internal electronic component body from the outside air. Therefore, a sealing material with excellent sealing performance is required for the contact part between the external connection component and the housing, and the overlapping part between the housings.

[0006] Furthermore, in solar cell modules, a sealing material with excellent airtightness is required between the solar cell panel and its support member to block out external moisture.

[0007] Furthermore, in stacked lithium-ion batteries, cushioning material is provided between the stacked cells to fix each cell in place while following the expansion or contraction of the cells.

[0008] In addition, electrolytic devices use sealing materials for electrolytic cells.

[0009] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-156234

[0010] In the conventional technology described above, sealing performance is improved by increasing the elastic modulus of the solid rubber material, which is the main material of the sealing material, or by increasing the compressive stress of the foamed rubber material.

[0011] However, if the crosslinking density of the solid rubber is increased too much to increase the elastic modulus of the solid rubber material, or if the foaming rate is decreased too much to increase the compressive stress of the foamed rubber material, high surface pressure is generated at the sealing area, which can damage other components with lower strength. On the other hand, if the elastic modulus of the solid rubber is decreased or the foaming rate is increased too much to prevent high surface pressure from being generated at the sealing area, the deterioration of the sealing material over time becomes excessive.

[0012] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the sealing performance of the sealant by means other than increasing the elastic modulus of the solid rubber material that is the main material of the sealant, or increasing the recovery rate of the foamed rubber material. One such method is to apply an adhesive layer using an adhesive composition to the surface of the elastic rubber material, such as the solid rubber material or foamed rubber material that is the main material of the sealant, thereby increasing the adhesion between the elastic rubber material and the object to be sealed.

[0013] Furthermore, some sealing materials use resin, metal, paper, or cork. In these cases, as with elastic rubber materials, an adhesive layer is applied to the surface of the resin, metal, paper, or cork material to improve the sealing performance of the sealing material. This increases the adhesion of the resin material to the object to be sealed, thereby improving the adhesion between the resin, metal, paper, or cork material and the object to be sealed.

[0014] Furthermore, in some cases, an adhesive layer consisting solely of an adhesive composition may be used as a sealing material, without using a base material such as elastic rubber, resin, metal, paper, or cork.

[0015] Here, automotive electronic components, solar modules, and automotive lithium-ion secondary batteries may experience localized or temporary high temperatures (100°C or higher, e.g., 120°C) during the summer. It is desirable that the adhesive composition maintains its sealing properties even under harsh sealing conditions and high-temperature environments of around 120°C. Furthermore, electrolytic devices may also experience high temperatures.

[0016] Furthermore, even in sealing materials formed solely of an adhesive layer made of an adhesive composition, there is a need for a sealing material that exhibits excellent sealing performance not only at room temperature of around 25°C but also at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C).

[0017] Therefore, a sealing material is needed that exhibits excellent sealing performance not only at room temperature of around 25°C but also at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C). Thus, sealing materials in which an adhesive layer is provided on an elastic rubber material or resin material, a metal material, a paper material, or a cork material require an adhesive layer that exhibits excellent adhesion not only at room temperature of around 25°C but also at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C).

[0018] Accordingly, the object of the present invention is either (1) or (2) below: (1) To provide an adhesive composition for forming an adhesive layer provided on the surface of an elastic rubber material, resin material, metal material, paper material, or cork material which is the main material of a sealing material, which can form an adhesive layer with excellent adhesive properties at both high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example 120°C) and room temperatures of about 25°C. (2) To provide an adhesive composition for forming an adhesive layer in a sealing material which is formed only of an adhesive layer made of an adhesive composition, which can form an adhesive layer with excellent adhesive properties at both high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example 120°C) and room temperatures of about 25°C.

[0076] In the olefin polymer (B), the content of (c) a (co)polymer block or a portion thereof or a fully hydrogenated block of one or more aliphatic monoolefins and / or one or more aliphatic polyenes is more than 87% by mass and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 90 to 100% by mass, more preferably more than 95% by mass and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 96 to 100% by mass, and more preferably 100% by mass, based on monomers. By having the content of the block of (c) in the olefin polymer (B) within the above range, the adhesive strength at room temperature of about 25°C is increased, and the adhesive strength at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example 120°C) is also increased. In other words, it is possible to simultaneously impart flexibility at room temperature and suppress softening at high temperatures, and high sealing performance (adhesion) can be obtained at both room temperature and high temperatures.

[0077] In the olefin polymer (B), (co)polymer blocks other than the block in (c) may be present, provided that the amount is less than 13% by mass based on monomers.

[0078] Examples of (co)polymer blocks other than block (c) relating to such olefin polymers (B) include (d) polymer blocks of styrene or monomers having a styrene structure.

[0079] Block (d) is a polymer block of styrene or monomers having a styrene structure, and is formed by polymerization of styrene (CH2=CH-C6H5) or monomers having a styrene structure.

[0080] Examples of styrene or monomers having a styrene structure related to block (d) include styrene, α-methylstyrene, β-methylstyrene, 2-methylstyrene, 3-methylstyrene, 4-methylstyrene, 4-propylstyrene, 4-isopropylstyrene, 4-n-butylstyrene, 4-t-butylstyrene, 4-n-hexylstyrene, 4-cyclohexylstyrene, 4-octylstyrene, 4-dodecylstyrene, 2,4-dimethylstyrene, 2,4-diisopropylstyrene, 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene, 1-vinylnaphthalene, 2-vinylnaphthalene, vinylanthracene, N,N-diethyl-4-aminoethylstyrene, vinylpyridine, 4-methoxystyrene, 4-vinylstyrene, 1,1-diphenylethylene, and the like.

[0081] Block (d) may include polymer blocks of styrene, and copolymer blocks of one or more monomers selected from styrene, α-methylstyrene, β-methylstyrene, 2-methylstyrene, 3-methylstyrene, 4-methylstyrene, 4-propylstyrene, 4-isopropylstyrene, 4-n-butylstyrene, 4-t-butylstyrene, 4-n-hexylstyrene, 4-cyclohexylstyrene, 4-octylstyrene, 4-dodecylstyrene, 2,4-dimethylstyrene, 2,4-diisopropylstyrene, 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene, 1-vinylnaphthalene, 2-vinylnaphthalene, vinylanthracene, N,N-diethyl-4-aminoethylstyrene, vinylpyridine, 4-methoxystyrene, 4-vinylstyrene, and 1,1-diphenylethylene. When a monomer block containing less than 13% by mass on a monomer basis is selected as block (d), the (co)polymer (A) and the olefin polymer (B) can be a single copolymer. If block (d) is not a monomer block of methylstyrene containing less than 13% by mass on a monomer basis, then the (co)polymer (A) and the olefin polymer (B) will be separate copolymers.

[0082] As an olefin polymer (B), a triblock copolymer consisting of (d) a polymer block of styrene or a monomer having a styrene structure - (c) a copolymer block or a partial or fully hydrogenated version block of one or more monomers selected from ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, isobutylene, butadiene, isoprene, 6,10-dimethyl-1-undecene, and (6E)-7,11-dimethyl-3-methylidendodeca-1,6,10-triene - (d) a polymer block of styrene or a monomer having a styrene structure, diblock copolymer Any block copolymer is acceptable, but a diblock copolymer is more preferred, and the diblock copolymer may also contain a triblock copolymer, comprising (d) a polymer block of styrene or a monomer having a styrene structure - (c) a copolymer block of one or more monomers selected from ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, isobutylene, butadiene, isoprene, 6,10-dimethyl-1-undecene, and (6E)-7,11-dimethyl-3-methylidendodeca-1,6,10-triene, or a partial or fully hydrogenated block thereof.

[0083] In the olefin polymer (B), the content of block (d) is less than 13% by mass, preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably less than 5% by mass, more preferably 4% by mass or less, and more preferably 0% by mass, based on the monomer. The above range for the content of block (d) in the olefin polymer (B) results in high tackiness at room temperature (around 25°C) and high tackiness at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C). In other words, it is possible to simultaneously impart flexibility at room temperature and suppress softening at high temperatures, resulting in high sealing performance (tackiness) at both room temperature and high temperatures.

[0084] The olefin polymer (B) is preferably a copolymer of one or more α-olefins selected from ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-octene and 1-decene, or a copolymer of one or more α-olefins selected from ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-octene and 1-decene and an aliphatic polyene selected from ethylidene norbornene, dicyclopentadiene, hexadiene, vinyl norbornene, butadiene and isoprene.

[0085] The olefin polymer (B) is preferably a diene rubber selected from butyl rubber, natural rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, and styrene-butadiene rubber, or a partially or fully hydrogenated diene rubber thereof.

[0086] The tackifier (C) in the adhesive composition of the present invention enhances the tackiness of the adhesive layer, and examples include phenol resins, terpene resins, rosin resins, hydrogenated rosin resins, coumarone resins, terpene phenol resins, hydrogenated terpene phenol resins, aromatic hydrocarbon resins, aliphatic hydrocarbon resins, xylene-formaldehyde resins, and the like. More specifically, the tackifier (C) can be a terpene resin, a terpene phenol resin, a hydrogenated terpene resin, a hydrogenated terpene phenol resin, an aromatic hydrocarbon resin, an aliphatic hydrocarbon resin, or a xylene-formaldehyde resin. Preferably, the tackifier (C) is one or more selected from terpene phenol resins, hydrogenated terpene phenol resins, phenol resins, xylene-formaldehyde resins, rosin resins, and hydrogenated rosin resins.

[0087] The softening point of the tackifier (C) is preferably 80 to 180°C, more preferably 100 to 170°C. The hydroxyl value of the tackifier (C) is preferably 5 to 200 mg KOH / g, more preferably 10 to 120 mg KOH / g.

[0088] In the adhesive composition of the present invention, the ratio of the content of (co)polymer (A) to the total content of (co)polymer (A) and olefin polymer (B) (((co)polymer (A) / ((co)polymer (A) + olefin polymer (B))) × 100) is 5 to 95% by mass, preferably 10 to 95% by mass, more preferably 25 to 95% by mass, and more preferably 40 to 95% by mass. By having the ratio of the content of (co)polymer (A) to the total content of (co)polymer (A) and olefin polymer (B) within the above range, it is possible to achieve both high tackiness at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example 120°C) and high tackiness at room temperature of about 25°C.

[0089] In the adhesive composition of the present invention, the ratio of the content of tackifier (C) to the total content of (co)polymer (A) and olefin polymer (B) ((tackifier (C) / ((co)polymer (A) + olefin polymer (B))) × 100) is 5 to 150% by mass, preferably 10 to 120% by mass, and more preferably 30 to 90% by mass. By having the ratio of the content of tackifier (C) to the total content of (co)polymer (A) and olefin polymer (B) within the above range, it is possible to achieve both high tackiness at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example 120°C) and high tackiness at room temperature of about 25°C.

[0090] The adhesive composition of the present invention may contain an antioxidant (D) in addition to the (co)polymer (A), the olefin polymer (B), and the tackifier (C). Examples of antioxidants (D) include amine-based, phenol-based, benzimidazole-based, phosphoric acid-based, and organic thioacid-based antioxidants.

[0091] When the adhesive composition of the present invention contains an antioxidant (D), the ratio of the content of the antioxidant (D) to the total content of the (co)polymer (A) and the olefin polymer (B) ((antioxidant (D) / ((co)polymer (A) + olefin polymer (B))) × 100) is 0.10 to 1.0% by mass, preferably 0.15 to 0.75% by mass, and more preferably 0.25 to 0.50% by mass. By having the ratio of the content of the antioxidant (D) to the total content of the (co)polymer (A) and the olefin polymer (B) within the above range, it is possible to suppress the decrease in adhesive strength caused by deterioration due to heat or light.

[0092] Furthermore, in addition to the (co)polymer (A), the olefin polymer (B), and the tackifier (C), the adhesive composition of the present invention may contain various additives used in the adhesive composition as needed, within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0093] The adhesive composition of the present invention may contain a leveling agent (surfactant) (E) as an additive. Examples of leveling agents (surfactants) (E) include: silicone-based leveling agents such as polyester-modified silicone, polyether-modified silicone, polyether-polyester-modified silicone, silicone-modified (meth)acrylic resin, carbinol-modified silicone, amino-modified silicone, polydimethylsiloxane modified with carboxyl, ether, epoxy, etc., alkyl-modified silicone, alkyl-aralkyl-modified silicone, higher fatty acid ester-modified silicone, phenyl-modified silicone, carboxyl-modified silicone, epoxy-modified silicone, and fluorine-modified silicone; straight silicones such as polydimethylsiloxane, polyphenylsiloxane, polymethylphenylsiloxane, and polymethylhydrodienesiloxane; acrylic polymers, silicone-modified acrylics; and other silicone-based leveling agents. Examples of leveling agents include acrylic polymers such as yl polymers, fluorine-modified acrylic polymers, (meth)acrylic copolymers, and polyether-modified (meth)acrylic compounds; fluorine-based leveling agents such as perfluoroalkenyl carboxylates, perfluoroalkenyl sulfonates, perfluoroalkenyl phosphates, perfluoroalkyl polyoxyethylene ethers, perfluoroalkyl carboxylates, perfluoroalkyl sulfonates, and perfluoroalkyl phosphates; vinyl polymers such as vinyl ether polymers; acetylene glycol-based leveling agents; and olefin polymers such as low molecular weight polyethylene, low molecular weight polypropylene, and modified olefin polymers such as ethylene-(meth)acrylic copolymers and acid-modified polyolefins. Other examples of leveling agents (surfactants) include nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, nonionic surfactants, fluorine-based surfactants, alkoxylated surfactants, hyperbranched polyethers, sulfosuccinates, tetramethyldecanediols, and alkoxyl-modified tetramethyldecanediols.

[0094] The adhesive composition of the present invention is obtained by mixing a (co)polymer (A), an olefin polymer (B), and a tackifier (C), along with an antioxidant (D) and a leveling agent (E) as needed, in a solvent, then mixing, stirring, or kneading using a stirrer, and then applying the mixture to an object to which an adhesive layer is to be formed, followed by heating and removing the solvent.

[0095] The solvent is not particularly limited and includes aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, ethers, and alcohols, with aromatic hydrocarbons being preferred. The amount of solvent used is appropriately selected depending on the application, coating method, and coating thickness.

[0096] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive composition (R) comprises 100 parts by mass of a hydrogenated α-methylstyrene-butadiene block copolymer having an α-methylstyrene unit content of 29% by mass on a monomer basis, and 50 parts by mass of a terpene phenol resin as an adhesive. The ratio of the peel strength value at 25°C, the ratio of the peel strength value at 100°C, and the ratio of the peel strength value at 120°C to the peel strength value at 25°C is all 2.50 or higher, preferably 2.75 or higher. In other words, when the peel strength value at 25°C of an adhesive composition (R), which consists of 100 parts by mass of a hydrogenated α-methylstyrene-butadiene block copolymer having an α-methylstyrene unit content of 29% by mass on a monomer basis, and 50 parts by mass of a terpene phenol resin as an adhesive, is set to 1.00, the relative ratios of the peel strength values ​​at 25°C, 100°C, and 120°C of the adhesive composition of the second embodiment of the present invention are all 2.50 or higher, preferably all 2.75 or higher. More specifically, it is as follows: First, a peel strength measurement test is performed on the adhesive composition (R) at 25°C to obtain the peel strength value of the adhesive composition (R) at 25°C. Next, peel strength measurement tests are performed on the adhesive composition of the second embodiment of the present invention at 25°C, 100°C, and 120°C, respectively, to obtain the peel strength values ​​at 25°C, 100°C, and 120°C of the adhesive composition of the second embodiment of the present invention. Then, the ratio of the peel strength values ​​of the second embodiment of the adhesive composition of the present invention at 25°C, 100°C, and 120°C to the peel strength value of the adhesive composition (R) at 25°C is determined. For example, if the peel strength value of the adhesive composition (R) at 25°C is X [N / mm], and the peel strength values ​​of the second embodiment of the adhesive composition of the present invention at 25°C, 100°C, and 120°C are Y1 [N / mm], Y2 [N / mm], and Y3 [N / mm], then in the second embodiment of the adhesive composition of the present invention, each of the values ​​of Y1 / X, Y2 / X, and Y3 / X is 2.50 or higher, preferably 2.75 or higher. Note that the above peel strength is the peel strength obtained by the T-shaped peel test according to the operating procedure in the Examples section.

[0097] Copolymer (A) has a high elastic modulus at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C), and when combined with tackifier (C), it exhibits excellent tackiness at high temperatures. Olefin polymer (B) is flexible at room temperature of about 25°C, and when combined with tackifier (C), it exhibits excellent tackiness at room temperature of about 25°C. Therefore, the adhesive composition of the present invention, by containing (A), (B), and (C), becomes an adhesive composition with excellent tackiness over a wide temperature range.

[0098] Styrene-based block copolymers, such as poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene), are known as thermoplastic elastomers. Polystyrene blocks are called hard segments and are glassy at room temperature, while polybutadiene blocks are called soft segments and are rubbery at room temperature. Styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers exhibit rubber elasticity at room temperature because the hard segments act as crosslinking points. However, because the glass transition temperature of polystyrene is around 100°C, it loses its rubber elasticity and its modulus decreases at temperatures above 100°C. On the other hand, poly-α-methylstyrene contained in (co)polymer (A) has a higher glass transition temperature than polystyrene, and (co)polymer (A) does not easily lose its modulus at temperatures above 100°C. Therefore, the adhesive composition of the present invention, by using (co)polymer (A), becomes an adhesive composition with excellent adhesiveness at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C).

[0099] On the other hand, if the (co)polymer (A) is used without being combined with (B), the elastic modulus at room temperature of about 25°C becomes high, and the tackiness decreases.

[0100] Therefore, in the adhesive composition of the present invention, the ratio of the content of (co)polymer (A) to the total content of (co)polymer (A) and olefin polymer (B) (((co)polymer (A) / ((co)polymer (A) + olefin polymer (B))) × 100) is 5 to 95% by mass, preferably 10 to 95% by mass, preferably 25 to 95% by mass, and more preferably 40 to 95% by mass, so that flexibility is maintained even at room temperature of about 25°C. Thus, the adhesive composition of the present invention, by using olefin polymer (B), becomes an adhesive composition with excellent tackiness at room temperature of about 25°C. However, if olefin polymer (B) is used without being combined with (A), the tackiness at temperatures above 100°C is almost lost.

[0101] As described above, the present invention provides an adhesive composition with excellent adhesiveness over a wide temperature range by combining a (co)polymer (A) with excellent adhesiveness at high temperatures, (B) with excellent adhesiveness at low temperatures, and a tackifier (C).

[0103] In the adhesive composition of the present invention, the content of copolymer (F) is 0 to 50% by mass, preferably 0 to 30% by mass, and more preferably 0 to 20% by mass, relative to (co)polymer (A).

[0120] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited in any way by the following examples.

[0121] (Examples and Comparative Examples) <Preparation of Adhesive Solution> 280 g of copolymer A listed in Tables 1 and 2 and 520 g of solvent were weighed into a 1 L pail and stirred at 250-300 rpm for 4 hours or more using a three-one motor to obtain a 35% solution (Solution A). A 35% solution (Solution B) was prepared in the same manner for copolymer B (B1-B5) listed in Table 1. 140 g of tackifier C (C1, C2) listed in Table 1 and 260 g of solvent were weighed into a polypropylene container with a lid and mixed to dissolve, obtaining a 35% solution (Solution C). Solutions A, B, and C were mixed together to achieve the mixing ratio and concentration listed in Table 1 and stirred at 500 rpm for 1-5 minutes using a three-one motor to obtain an adhesive solution. The concentration of the adhesive solution was adjusted by adding solvent as appropriate so that it was in the range of 30-35%.

[0122] <Preparation of Adhesive Film> A resin film was cut to a length of 400 mm and a width of 150 mm. At this time, the length direction was considered top and bottom, and the width direction was considered left and right. The resin film was fixed to a coating table, and an adhesive solution was applied using an applicator. The coated film was placed in a high-temperature constant-temperature oven to thoroughly dry the solvent, and the same process of coating and drying was performed on the back side of the resin film to create a double-sided adhesive film. The thickness of the adhesive at a point 50 mm from the left and right edges of the film was measured with a micrometer to determine the adhesive thickness. The resin film material can be selected from polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, syndiotactic polystyrene, and polyimide, and surface treatment may be performed as needed.

[0123] <Cutting the adhesive film for the peel test> 20 mm was cut from the left and right edges of the adhesive film, and 40 mm from the top and bottom edges, resulting in a film with a length of 320 mm and a width of 110 mm. This film was then cut to a length of 35 mm and a width of 15 mm to create the adhesive film for the peel test.

[0124] <Pressing the adhesive film for the peel test> The adhesive film for the peel test and the adherend (stainless steel plate) are pressed together. The adherend, cut to a length of 70 mm and a width of 15 mm, was washed with ethanol. Then, the lower edges of the adherend and the adhesive film for the peel test were aligned, and the adherend was pressed onto both sides of the adhesive film, ensuring no air was trapped inside. An air press was used to perform the pressing process (10 kgf / cm²). 2 The sample for the peel test was obtained by multiplying the temperature by 15 seconds at 70°C.

[0125] <T-shaped peel test> A universal testing machine (Shimadzu Corporation, Autograph AGS-500NX) was used for the T-shaped peel test to measure adhesive strength. A jig with a chuck for tensile testing was attached to the testing machine, and the distance between the chucks was set to 50 mm. The adherend was bent into a T shape, fixed with the chucks, and the crosshead was raised at a speed of 50 mm / min to peel off the adhesive film in a T shape. The test was conducted at temperatures of 25°C, 100°C, and 120°C. When the test was conducted at temperatures above 100°C, the peel test was performed while heating in a constant temperature bath. The peel strength [N / mm] was measured by dividing the test force [N] in the peel test by the width of 15 mm, and the relative value was calculated for each measurement result, with the peel strength at 25°C in Comparative Example 2 set to "1.00". The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0128] A1: Hydrogenated α-methylstyrene-butadiene block copolymer, α-methylstyrene unit content (based on monomer): 29% by mass B1: Ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (EPDM), (d) block content: 0% by mass B2: Ethylene-butene-diene copolymer (EBDM), (d) block content: 0% by mass B3: Ethylene-propylene copolymer, (d) block content: 0% by mass β1: Hydrogenated styrene-isobutylene block copolymer, (d) block content: 15% by mass based on styrene monomer β2: Hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer, (d) block content: 20% by mass based on styrene monomer β3: Hydrogenated styrene-isoprene block copolymer, (d) block content: 13% by mass based on styrene monomer C1: Terpene phenol resin C2: Terpene phenol resin C3: Hydrogenated terpene phenol resin

[0129] In Examples 1 to 9, the relative peel strength was 2.50 or higher at all temperatures (25°C, 100°C, and 120°C) compared to Comparative Example 2 at 25°C, where the peel strength was set to "1.00". On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10, the relative peel strength at 25°C was below 2.50 compared to Comparative Example 2 at 25°C, where the peel strength was set to "1.00". In Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the relative peel strength at 100°C was below 2.50 compared to Comparative Example 2 at 25°C, where the peel strength was set to "1.00". In Comparative Examples 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13, the relative peel strength at 120°C was below 2.50 compared to Comparative Example 2 at 25°C, where the peel strength was set to "1.00".

[0130] Based on the above results, the adhesive layer made from the adhesive composition of the present invention exhibits high adhesive strength and excellent adhesion not only at room temperature of about 25°C but also at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C). Therefore, it is presumed that a sealing material on which an adhesive layer made from the adhesive composition of the present invention is formed on a sealing substrate such as a resin material, metal material, paper material, or cork material will exhibit excellent sealing performance not only at room temperature of about 25°C but also at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C).

[0131] Furthermore, based on the above results, the adhesive layer made from the adhesive composition of the present invention exhibits high adhesive strength and excellent adhesion not only at room temperature of about 25°C but also at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C). Therefore, it is presumed that a sealing material that uses only the adhesive layer made from the adhesive composition, without using a sealing substrate such as resin, metal, paper, or cork, will exhibit excellent sealing performance not only at room temperature of about 25°C but also at high temperatures (100°C or higher, for example, 120°C).
