Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photocurable silicone composition that exhibits excellent surface curing and deep curing properties, provides a cured product with low compression set, and is suitable as a liquid gasket material. [Background technology]

[0002] Simplification and cost reduction in manufacturing processes are being actively promoted in various fields, overlapping with the trend toward low energy consumption with consideration for the environment. In particular, many curable elastomers used in electronic and structural parts require a high-temperature heating process for curing, which requires a huge amount of energy, time, and equipment, and therefore improvement is required. Furthermore, improvement of this heating process is significant not only in terms of energy and cost, but also in terms of manufacturing technology, as it does not damage other components.

[0003] In recent years, photocurable compositions have been attracting attention as a way to solve these problems. Photocurable compositions contain a photoinitiator that is activated by exposure to light, particularly ultraviolet light, which causes a polymerization or crosslinking reaction, and the composition cures in a short time, usually from a few tens of seconds to a few minutes. This means that it is less likely to damage other components, and does not require large facilities. Recently, ultraviolet light irradiation devices that use LEDs have been developed, making this an excellent manufacturing process.

[0004] So far, silicone compositions that use photoradical polymerization as a crosslinking system have been reported. These compositions have the characteristic of having a high reaction rate and curing in a short time due to their high reactivity, but on the other hand, the radicals have a very short life span and are easily deactivated by oxygen, etc. As a result, the curing property of the silicone composition surface that comes into contact with air can be significantly reduced. On the other hand, deep curing is also important, and a certain degree of transparency is required for the silicone composition to allow light to reach the inside.

[0005] Attempts are being made to use such photocurable compositions as liquid gasket materials. Among them, a method called cured-in-place gasket (CIPG) is suitable for gaskets that are produced in small quantities and in a wide variety of products, and is a method that makes it easy to create a cured product by irradiating light. This CIPG method involves forming a gasket material on one flange, and then pressing the other flange against it to ensure sealing. For this reason, the gasket material must not lose its restoring force even when compressed for a long period of time. In other words, low compression set is required.

[0006] As a photocurable composition characterized by low compression set, a composition containing a vinyl polymer having a (meth)acryloyl group and a compound having an ethylenically unsaturated group has been proposed, but it is insufficient in flexibility and durability compared to silicone rubber (Patent Document 1).

[0007] In order to provide two properties, namely, good surface curing property and low compression set, a silicone composition has been proposed to which fumed silica surface-treated with an organosilicon compound having a (meth)acryloyl group and an organosilicon compound not having a (meth)acryloyl group has been added (Patent Document 2). However, since a condensation reaction is used in combination with the aim of increasing the surface curing property, there is a problem in that the storage stability of the composition is reduced. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2007 / 004584 [Patent Document 2] JP 2018-058946 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] In such a photocurable silicone composition, the photopolymerizable reactive groups at the ends of component (A) are densely packed, resulting in good surface curability, and since the ratio of phenyl groups bonded to silicon atoms in component (A) falls within a specified range, the difference in refractive index with other components is small, making it easier for light to penetrate deeper, resulting in excellent deep curing properties.Furthermore, the resulting cured product has the characteristic of having low compression set.

[0012] The component (B) is preferably an organic compound represented by the following general formula (3). [ka] (In the formula, R 4 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and Z 3 is a substituted or unsubstituted divalent organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

[0013] By including an organic compound having such a structure, good adhesion to the adherend is achieved without deteriorating the compression set.

[0014] In the present invention, the component (D) is preferably a silica powder whose surface has been treated with an organic compound having a (meth)acryloyl group.

[0015] Such a silica powder can improve shape retention without deteriorating compression set.

[0016] The present invention also provides a liquid gasket that is made from the above-mentioned photocurable silicone composition.

[0017] The photocurable silicone composition of the present invention has a cured product that has adhesive properties and exhibits low compression set, making it suitable for use as a liquid gasket material.

[0018] Furthermore, the cured product of the photocurable silicone composition of the present invention preferably has a compression set of 30% or less when measured at 120° C. and compressed by 25% for 100 hours.

[0019] In this way, the effects of the present invention can be more reliably achieved. Effect of the Invention

[0020] As described above, with the photocurable silicone composition of the present invention, the methacryl groups densely introduced at the molecular chain terminals rapidly undergo a radical polymerization reaction upon irradiation with light, making it possible not only to overcome the uncured surface portion caused by oxygen inhibition, but also to obtain a cured product with excellent deep curing properties and low compression set.

[0046] The content of component (B) is 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, preferably 0.2 to 5 parts by mass, and more preferably 0.3 to 2 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). If the content is less than 0.1 part by mass, the adhesiveness may be poor, whereas if it exceeds 10 parts by mass, the compression set of the cured product may be large.

[0047] <(C) component> Component (C) is a photoradical polymerization initiator for promoting curing of the composition of the present invention by a radical polymerization reaction, and examples thereof include any photoradical polymerization initiator known in the art for curing acrylic functionality, such as benzoin and substituted benzoins, Michle's ketones, dialkoxyacetophenones such as diethoxyacetophenone (DEAP), benzophenone and substituted benzophenones, acetophenone and substituted acetophenones, xanthone and substituted xanthones.

If the content of component (C) is less than 0.1 part by mass, the effect of promoting curing may not be obtained, whereas if it exceeds 10 parts by mass, the deep curing property of the composition may deteriorate, or the mechanical properties of the cured product may decrease.

[0051] <(D) component> (D) component has a BET specific surface area of ​​100 m 2 / g or more of silica powder, which is a component that imparts shape retention to the composition. This component ensures a thickness sufficient to maintain sealing properties when the photocurable silicone composition of the present invention is used as a liquid gasket material.

[0052] Component (D) is insoluble in components (A) to (C), and therefore may impede light transmission and reduce deep curing properties. However, by using a component with a large specific surface area, light transmission can be improved. The upper limit of the BET specific surface area is 500 m. 2 / g or less, especially 300m 2 It is preferable that the molecular weight is not more than 1 / g.

[0057] <Other ingredients> Depending on the purpose, the composition of the present invention may contain other components such as an adhesion improver other than the component (B) and a radical reaction inhibitor.

[0058] As the adhesion improver other than component (B), there may be used organosilicon compounds such as silanes and siloxanes, which contain functional groups that impart adhesion, and non-silicone organic compounds.

[0059] More specifically, those which do not simultaneously contain a radical reactive group and an alkoxysilyl group in one molecule are preferred, and examples thereof include trialkyl-isocyanurate or triallyl-isocyanurate, and glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane.

[0060] Examples of the radical reaction inhibitor include phenol-based radical reaction inhibitors such as dibutylhydroxytoluene (BHT) and amine-based radical reaction inhibitors such as diphenylamine derivatives.

These equipments may also be used in appropriate combination.

[0063] <Liquid gasket> The photocurable silicone composition of the present invention has high reactivity, and when irradiated with the necessary light, it cures well even in air, and furthermore, the compression set of the cured product is small, making it useful as a liquid gasket. It is particularly useful for the CIPG method, in which a liquid gasket material is applied to one flange, cured and bonded by irradiation with light, and then the other flange is pressed against it to ensure sealing.

[0074] [Table 1]

[0075] The photocurable silicone compositions obtained in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 in Table 1 were evaluated for surface curability, deep curability, hardness, adhesion, and compression set as described below. The results are shown in Table 2. UV irradiation was performed using a lamp H(M)06-L-61 manufactured by Eye Graphics Co., Ltd. at 7,500 mJ / cm in air at 25°C. 2 The irradiation was performed at a dose of .

[0076] [Surface hardening] The composition was poured into a mold to a thickness of 10 mm and irradiated with ultraviolet light from one side. If the surface of the irradiated side was hardened, it was rated as "good," and if even a part of it was liquid, it was rated as "poor."

[0077] [Deep hardenability] The composition was poured into a mold to a thickness of 10 mm, and when it was irradiated with ultraviolet light from one side, if the surface opposite the irradiated side had hardened it was rated as "good", and if even a part of it was liquid it was rated as "bad".

[0078] [Hardness] The composition was irradiated with ultraviolet light to produce a cured product having a thickness of 6.0 mm. The hardness immediately after curing was measured in an environment of 25° C. using a durometer type A hardness tester.

[0079] [Adhesiveness] The composition was dropped onto a stainless steel plate, irradiated with ultraviolet light, and then left to stand for 24 hours in an environment of 25°C before the cured product was peeled off and tested. If the cured product underwent cohesive failure, it was rated as "adhesion", and if it peeled off at the interface, it was rated as "peeling".

[0080] [Compression set] The composition was irradiated with ultraviolet light to produce a cured product with a thickness of 4 mm and a diameter of 25 mm. Three of these were stacked (the thickness at this point was designated as t0), compressed to 9 mm, and held at 120°C for 100 hours. After compression, the thickness t was measured after leaving the material to stand at 23°C for 30 minutes, and the compression set (%) was calculated using the following formula. (t0-t) / (t0-9.00)×100

[0081] [Table 2]

[0082] As shown in Table 2, the photocurable silicone compositions of Examples 1 to 5 exhibited excellent surface curability and deep curability, exhibited good adhesion, and exhibited small compression set in the cured product.

[0083] On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, in which the (A) component was changed to an organopolysiloxane with a small content of phenyl groups bonded to silicon atoms, the surface curing properties and deep curing properties were inferior. In Comparative Example 2, in which the (A) component was changed to an organopolysiloxane with a small number of terminal functional groups, the surface curing properties were deteriorated. In Comparative Example 3, in which the (A) component was changed to an organopolysiloxane with an acrylic terminal functional group, and in Comparative Example 4, in which the (B) component was changed to a compound without an epoxy group, the compression set of the cured product was large, and in Comparative Example 5, in which the (B) component was not included, no adhesion was exhibited.

[0084] In this way, the present invention is able to provide a photocurable silicone composition that has excellent surface curing properties and deep curing properties, and that gives a cured product that has good adhesive properties and small compression set.
