Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an ultraviolet-curable silicone composition and a cured product thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] For materials with fine patterns formed on their surfaces, such as lens materials for 3D sensors, imprint molding using a mold is generally used. There are two types of imprint molding: one is to mold the desired material directly from a metal mold, and the other is to create a replica mold from the metal mold and then replicate the lens material from the replica mold. The latter method is much more advantageous in terms of production efficiency. In this case, in order to improve yields, it is common to apply a release treatment to the surfaces of the metal mold and the replica mold material to prevent the lens material and the replica mold from sticking together, but there is a need to simplify the process of applying the release agent.

[0003] One such material known to be suitable for this purpose is a fluorine-containing acrylic resin (Patent Document 1). However, the technology using this material requires washing with a solvent and heating after molding the replica mold material, and there was a need to simplify the process.

[0057] (E) Component [ka]

[0058] [Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Example 1] The above components (A), (B), and (E) were mixed in the composition shown in Table 1, and 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene was distilled off at 100°C under reduced pressure. After that, components (C) and (D) were mixed to prepare each of the silicone compositions shown in Table 1. The obtained compositions and cured products were evaluated for the following properties, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0059] 〔viscosity〕 The viscosity of the composition was measured at 23° C. using a rotational viscometer. 〔hardness〕 The prepared UV-curable silicone composition was irradiated with UV light having a wavelength of 365 nm at a dose of 16,000 mJ / cm under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature (25°C) using an Eye UV electronic control device (model UBX0601-01) manufactured by Eye Graphics Co., Ltd. 2 The sheet was irradiated with ultraviolet light so as to cure. The thickness of the sheet was 2.0 mm. The hardness of the resulting cured product was measured in accordance with JIS K6253-3:2012. [Mold releasability] A dam was made between two glass plates using Teflon tape to a thickness of 230 μm, and the prepared UV-curable silicone composition was placed inside the dam. Using an Eye UV electronic control device (model UBX0601-01) manufactured by Eye Graphics Co., Ltd., the composition was irradiated with UV light having a wavelength of 365 nm at a dose of 16,000 mJ / cm under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature (25°C). 2 The composition was cured by irradiating with ultraviolet light so as to obtain a test piece. When the two glass plates of the obtained test piece were peeled off by hand, if the glass plates could be easily removed, it was evaluated as ◯, and if the adhesion was too strong and the glass plates could not be removed, it was evaluated as ×.

[0060] [Table 1]

[0061] As shown in Table 1, it is understood that the ultraviolet-curable silicone compositions prepared in Examples 1 to 5 have appropriate viscosities, and that the cured products have sufficient hardness and exhibit high demolding properties, making them extremely useful as replica mold materials. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, which does not contain the component (B), although there is releasability, the hardness of the material is not sufficient. Moreover, in Comparative Example 2 in which the component (A) was changed to the component (E), it was found that although the hardness was sufficient, the releasability was insufficient.
