Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to reactive compositions based on acetoacetate compounds and their use in structural bonding applications, such as direct glass glazing processes. In particular, this invention relates to reactive compositions based on acetoacetate compounds and urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers, said reactive compositions exhibiting excellent mechanical strength, including tensile strength and elongation. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive industry, particularly in automobile production, a key application of adhesives is in the direct glass assembly of vehicle windshields. Paste-like, high-viscosity adhesives are used in these applications and are typically applied to body flanges or windshields in the automotive industry. Robots can optionally slightly heat the adhesive for easier application. The technical requirements for adhesives used to bond windshields in the automotive industry are constantly increasing. In the initial conception of automotive construction, this adhesive was specifically designed to bond the windshield to the body, preventing moisture and dust from entering the interior of the vehicle. Furthermore, the windshield should be crash-resistant, meaning that in the event of an accident, it should remain firmly bonded to the body and not detach. On the one hand, pedestrians should not be at risk of windshields flying everywhere; on the other hand, conventional airbags must be able to hold the windshield in place to minimize the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

[0003] For many years, elastomeric adhesives have played a vital role in the direct glass assembly process for vehicle windshields. Due to their high elasticity, combined with excellent tensile and tear strength, a broad adhesive spectrum with and without a primer, and their favorable price / performance ratio, they are particularly well-suited for applications in the automotive industry. For example, one-component moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives are used to address the most diverse sealing and bonding problems where high tensile and tear strength is crucial. In their one-component moisture-curing embodiments, these compositions comprise an adhesive having free reactive isocyanate groups. In the absence of moisture, these systems are stable for long-term storage in a paste-like, sometimes very viscous, form; and when moisture from the ambient air approaches them after application and bonding of the parts to be bonded, the water reacts with the isocyanate groups in a known manner, ultimately resulting in a high-strength elastomeric bond between the parts through crosslinking. In two-component embodiments, one component comprises a similar adhesive having reactive isocyanate groups, and the second component comprises an adhesive having active hydrogen, typically in the form of polyols, polyamines, or water in a paste matrix or a water-contributing substance (e.g., water-loaded molecular sieves, inorganic or organic compounds containing water of crystallization, etc.). One-component or two-component adhesive systems without isocyanate groups have also been proposed for adhesive applications, and silane-modified polymers contain reactive silyl groups (e.g., alkoxysilanes, acetoxysilanes, silazanes, or oxime silanes) instead of reactive isocyanate groups.

[0004] However, although silane-modified polymers possess favorable toxicological properties, their limited mechanical properties restrict their use to lower-performance applications. On the other hand, polyurethane-based adhesives offer sufficient bonding strength, but the formulations contain harmful isocyanate components and require careful handling.

[0005] Compared to polyurethane chemistry, Michael addition chemistry is considered to offer an alternative sustainable approach because useful polymers can be prepared in the absence of isocyanates. Michael addition chemistry (e.g., based on reaction systems containing acetoacetate and (meth)acrylate) has been investigated and applied to several adhesive applications.

[0006] EP 3889222 A discloses a curable potting composition comprising: a polyfunctional acetoacetate compound, a (meth)acrylate compound having at least three (meth)acrylate groups, a catalyst, and a filler, wherein the equivalence ratio of the (meth)acrylate compound having at least three (meth)acrylate groups to the polyfunctional acetoacetate compound is greater than 1.5.

[0007] EP 1283235 B1 discloses an adhesive composition comprising: an α,β-unsaturated polycarboxylic acid ester; and a compound (A) which is an acetoacetate-terminated polyester or an acetoacetate-terminated polyesteramide.

[0008] However, the adhesives disclosed in the prior art have limited elasticity or flexibility, so the above adhesive compositions are not suitable for structural bonding applications such as direct glass assembly processes.

[0009] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a reactive composition based on Michael addition chemistry, which is suitable for structural bonding such as direct glass assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In one aspect, the present invention relates to reactive compositions, particularly reactive compositions for adhesives or sealants, comprising: (a) Polyfunctional acetoacetate compounds, (b) Polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers, (c) Catalyst, and (d) Packing material, The filler is present in an amount of 20% to less than 75% by weight of the total weight of the reactive composition.

[0012] In another aspect, the present invention relates to reactive compositions, wherein, based on the total weight of the reactive composition, the composition comprises: (a) 1% to 20% by weight of polyfunctional acetoacetate compounds, (b) 15% to 65% by weight of polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers, (c) 0.05% to 2% by weight of catalyst, and (d) 20% to less than 75% by weight, preferably 40% to 60% by weight of filler.

[0013] In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of bonding a windshield in a vehicle, comprising applying the reactive composition or the two- or multi-part reactive composition to bond the windshield to a vehicle frame.

[0039] Available difunctional or polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers include aliphatic polyester urethane diacrylates.

[0045] The resulting urethane oligomer is capped with a group containing (meth)acrylate to form a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer. Suitable hydroxyl-capping monomers include, but are not limited to, hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates, such as hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, etc. Combinations of capping monomers may be used.

[0047] Commercially available urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers include, for example, SARTOMER CN996, CN9001, CN981 and CN9002 (available from Sartamomer Company, Inc.).

[0048] According to the present invention, the polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer can be used in an amount of 15% to 65% by weight, preferably 35% to 65% by weight, of the reactive composition.

[0049] In the reactive compositions of the present invention, the relative ratio of the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate oligomer to the polyfunctional acetoacetate compound can be characterized by the ratio of the number of acetoacetoxy groups in the polyfunctional acetoacetate compound to the number of (meth)acrylate groups in the polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compound. The polyfunctional (meth)acrylate oligomer and the polyfunctional acetoacetate compound are blended together just before application, such that the equivalent ratio is 1:0.6 to 1:2.0, preferably 1:0.75 to 1:1.25, and more preferably about 1:1.

[0050] catalyst The reactive composition includes a catalyst to allow a Michael addition reaction to occur between a polyfunctional acetoacetate compound and a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate oligomer at a temperature, for example, from room temperature to 200°C, preferably at room temperature (25°C), to form an adhesive / sealant with a high crosslinking density.

[0051] Examples of suitable catalysts in this invention are particularly 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN), triazabicyclodecene (TBD), tetramethylguanidine (TMG), trioctylphosphine (TOP), triphenylphosphine (TPP), (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide) TBAOH, NaOH, KOH, NaOEt, KOEt, and phosphorazine.

[0052] The amount of catalyst in the reactive composition is from 0.05% to 2% by weight, and preferably from 0.1% to 0.5% by weight.

[0053] filler The filler is present in the reactive composition according to the invention in an amount of 20% to less than 75% by weight of the total weight of the reactive composition. Surprisingly, if the amount is below or above the above range, the tensile strength and / or elongation at break of the cured product will deteriorate, and the cured adhesive will be unsuitable for structural bonding. Preferably, the filler is present in an amount of more than 30% to 70% by weight, more preferably 35% to 65% by weight, and particularly 40% to 60% by weight of the total weight of the reactive composition.

[0054] There are no restrictions on the type of filler, as long as it can achieve the desired properties of the reactive composition and the cured product. For example, the filler can be any inorganic filler, either alone or in combination, or any organic filler.

[0055] Examples of fillers include, but are not limited to, chalk, lime powder, pyrolytic or molten silica, zeolite, bentonite, magnesium carbonate, diatomaceous earth, alumina, clay, talc, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, zinc oxide, sand, quartz, flint, mica, glass powder, and other ground minerals.

Short fibers such as glass fiber, glass filaments, polyacrylonitrile, carbon fiber, Kevlar fiber, or polyethylene fiber can also be added. Aluminum powder is also suitable as a filler.

[0056] Pyrolytic and / or molten silica can be surface-treated to impart hydrophobic properties. Advantageously, pyrolytic and / or molten silica has a surface area of ​​10 to 90 μm. 2 / g BET surface area. When used, they do not cause any additional increase in viscosity of the reactive compositions according to the invention, but help to strengthen the cured product.

[0057] Similarly, it is conceivable to use areas with a high BET surface area, advantageously 100 to 250 m². 2 / g, especially 110 to 170 m 2 / g of pyrolytic and / or molten silica is used as a filler. Due to the large surface area of ​​BET, the same effect can be achieved with a smaller weight proportion of silica, for example, to strengthen the cured product. Other substances can therefore be used to improve the cured product according to the invention in terms of different requirements.

[0058] Hollow spheres with mineral or plastic shells are also suitable as fillers. They are composed of inorganic or organic materials and each has a diameter of 1 mm or less, preferably 500 μm or less.

[0059] In one embodiment, the filler comprises calcium carbonate. In a preferred embodiment, the filler is selected from carbon black, pyrolytic silica, fused silica, calcium carbonate, and combinations thereof. In a more preferred embodiment, a combination of carbon black and calcium carbonate is used in the reactive composition. In another preferred embodiment, a combination of pyrolytic silica and calcium carbonate is included in the reactive composition. Examples of commercially available carbon black include Monarch products from Cabot, such as Monarch A 120, 430, 490, 570, 580, 460, 280, 700, and 800. Examples of commercially available pyrolytic silica include Aerosil products from Evonik Degussa, such as R 202, R 816, R 812, 200 F, 380 F, R 208, and R974. Examples of commercially available calcium carbonate include Omya BLH from Omya.

[0060] additive Reactive compositions may, of course, contain auxiliary ingredients and additives. However, reactive compositions should be broadly formulated to exhibit an initial viscosity suitable for paste or liquid materials. The viscosity range of the reactive composition is less than 2000 Pa∙s, preferably less than 1000 Pa∙s, and more preferably less than 500 Pa∙s.

[0061] The reactive compositions of the present invention may be solvent-free. Alternatively, the compositions may contain one or more solvents, wherein at least one of the solvents is preferably miscible with water. Therefore, it is envisioned that the compositions may be characterized as solvent systems consisting of two or more water-miscible solvents. Similarly, the compositions may be characterized as solvent systems consisting of at least one water-immiscible solvent and at least one water-miscible solvent. For completeness, the term "immiscible" as used herein means that two phases exist in some portions.

[0062] Non-limiting examples of water-miscible solvents include, but are not limited to, acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, dioxane, ethanol, methanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and tetrahydrofuran. Non-limiting examples of water-immiscible solvents include benzene, n-butanol, butyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, cyclohexane, 1,2-dichloroethane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, heptane, hexane, methyl-1-butyl ether, methyl ethyl ketone, pentane, diisopropyl ether, toluene, chloroform, xylene, and combinations thereof.

[0063] When used, the amount of solvent present in the composition can be determined based on normal practical considerations.

[0069] In another aspect, it relates to a bipartite or multipartite reactive composition comprising: (a) The first part comprising a polyfunctional acetoacetate compound, (b) A second portion comprising polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers, The catalyst is included in the first and / or second part. The first part or the second part, or preferably the first part and the second part, contains filler, and The filler is present in an amount of 20% to less than 75% by weight of the total weight of the reactive composition.

[0070] One or more components from each part are stored in separate containers (parts) until the contents of all said containers are mixed together to form a mixture of adhesive compositions prior to application. After application and curing, a solid material forms in the adhesive area.

[0071] Another embodiment of the invention is a method of using the reactive composition of the invention to bond substrates to each other. In this embodiment, the reactive composition is applied to a first substrate. The application method can be carried out by a large number of methods known to those skilled in the art (e.g., brushing, spraying, roller coating, rotary gravure coating, flexographic coating, flow coating, dipping, and combinations thereof) to form a continuous or discontinuous film of the composition as desired. In some embodiments, the reactive composition is applied at ambient temperature / room temperature (about 25°C); or, the reactive composition can be applied at an elevated temperature.

[0072] After the composition is applied to a first substrate, it can then be brought into contact with another substrate to form a composite material. Optionally, pressure is applied to the composite material thus formed, for example, by passing it between rollers to achieve increased contact between the substrate and the composition. In another embodiment of the invention, the composition can be applied simultaneously or sequentially to two surfaces of a first substrate, and then the composition can be simultaneously or sequentially bonded to two other substrates, which may be identical or different. It is also contemplated that the composite material structure can be sequentially bonded to one or more other substrates using the compositions of the present invention or different compositions before or after the methods described herein. The first and second substrates to be bonded in the methods of the present invention may be identical or different and include, for example, paper, fabric, leather, metal (e.g., aluminum and steel), ceramics, glass, wood, or plastics (e.g., PP, PC, PVC, etc.), which may have smooth or structured surfaces and may be provided in rolls, sheets, films, foils, etc.

[0073] In some embodiments of the invention, the substrate is relatively thin and flat, and the resulting composite material is referred to as a laminate. The substrate can be constructed in a multilayer laminate structure based on polyolefins (e.g., polyethylene and polypropylene), polyesters, and polyamides (nylon), metallized polypropylene, aluminum foil, etc. Examples of two-layer laminate structures include polypropylene / polypropylene, polyester / nylon, polyester / polyethylene, polypropylene / metallized polypropylene, polypropylene / aluminum foil, polyester / aluminum foil, polyamide / aluminum foil, etc.

[0074] The reactive compositions of this invention undergo a chemical reaction, referred to herein as "curing." While the invention is not limited to any particular theory, curing is considered to begin when the reactive adhesive / sealant composition is formed and to continue at least until the end of the canning period, and may continue thereafter. In some embodiments, a layer of the reactive composition is applied to a substrate before the end of the canning period. In some of these embodiments, at least one additional substrate is brought into contact with the curable mixture layer; often, said additional substrate is brought into contact with the reactive adhesive / sealant composition layer before the end of the canning period. Thus, in some embodiments, curing does not end until after the reactive composition and the substrate have come into contact. This is because the cured product forms a useful adhesive bond between the substrates.

[0075] This reactive composition is suitable for direct glass assembly in vehicle manufacturing and repair. It can be used to bond windshields in vehicles during manufacturing and repair processes, comprising the steps of applying the reactive composition to bond glass components, such as windshields, to one or more vehicle frames made of metal or alloy.

[0076] While this invention is particularly suitable for use as an adhesive, it is also applicable to sealants and elastomers. When used as an elastomer, the reactive composition can be placed in a mold or on a release surface and allowed to cure; the cured mixture can then be removed from the mold or release surface and used as intended.

[0088] Test methods Tensile strength Tensile strength testing is used to test the elasticity of a material under tensile strain according to ASTM 638. This test is performed on a Zwick universal testing machine. In this test, 3 to 5 dog-bone shaped specimens are tested for each reactive composition. The specimens are positioned such that the jaws of the universal testing machine grip each end of the dog-bone specimen. A preload of 2 N is then applied. The jaws are then disengaged at a rate of 200 mm / min until the specimen fails. The maximum tensile strength achieved is then recorded as the tensile strength.

[0089] Elongation at break Tensile strength testing was used to test the elasticity of materials under tensile strain according to ASTM 638. This test was performed on a Zwick universal testing machine. In this test, 3 to 5 dog-bone shaped specimens were tested for each reactive composition. The specimens were positioned such that the jaws of the universal testing machine gripped each end of the dog-bone specimen. A preload of 2 N was then applied. The jaws were then disengaged at a rate of 200 mm / min until the specimen failed. The elongation of the specimen at specimen failure was then recorded.

[0090] If the cured adhesive has a tensile strength of not less than 2 MPa, it is considered acceptable for structural bonding (especially direct glass assembly of vehicle windshields). If the cured adhesive has a tensile strength of not less than 3 MPa, it is considered excellent for the application. If the cured adhesive has an elongation at break of not less than 100%, it is considered acceptable for structural bonding (especially direct glass assembly of vehicle windshields). If the cured adhesive has an elongation at break of not less than 200%, it is considered excellent for the application.

Following this, distillation was carried out at atmospheric pressure for 8 hours while the temperature was slowly increased to 140 °C. Finally, when distillation ceases, distillation is carried out under reduced pressure for 2 hours at 140°C, decreasing from 900 mbar to 400 mbar. The reaction scheme is shown below.
