Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition based on an organosilicon compound and crosslinkable by a condensation reaction, a method for producing the same, and a sealant, particularly for use as a caulking for natural stone.
Background Art
[0002] One-component sealants (RTV1 sealants) that can be stored in a water-free state and cure to form an elastomer when water enters at room temperature after excluding alcohol are already known. These products are used in large quantities, for example, in the construction industry. The base of these mixtures is an organopolysiloxane having an alkoxy group as a hydrolyzable reactive substituent. This reactive polydimethylsiloxane is generally prepared by a method called end-capping, which involves reacting an OH-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with an organyloxysilane in the presence of a catalyst. In this regard, reference can be made to, for example, US5055502A. In order to suppress downstream reactions from end-capping (chain extension and crosslinking), the organyloxysilane needs to be used in a large excess relative to the OH groups of the OH-terminated polydimethylsiloxane. As a result, the organyloxy polymer always contains an excess of organyloxysilane. Also, it has been found that end-capping can generally be carried out without causing equilibration only with very highly reactive organyloxysilanes such as methyltrimethoxysilane or vinyltrimethoxysilane.
[0003] As other reactive silanes, methyltriethoxysilane (MTEO) or vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEO) are also used. However, the reactivity of these latter two silanes is already low, and as can be inferred from US210647822B, there are limits to their use as endblockers for long-chain OH-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes. However, these silanes are actually employed as additional additives, for example, as moisture scavengers to enhance storage stability or as carrier materials for further active ingredients such as stabilizers or catalysts.
[0004] The requirements for RTV1 sealants are diverse. In particular, products that cure extremely rapidly after a certain processing time are desired. In addition to the catalysts used in RTV1 sealants, the reactivity of the crosslinking agents specifically used here is a decisive factor. In particular, commonly used tin and titanium compounds have the drawback of causing problems with storage stability or unwanted yellowing. Therefore, there is concern about limiting the amount of catalyst used in RTV1 sealants. However, in that case, the pressure to use very highly reactive silanes becomes even greater.
[0005] Furthermore, these sealants may consist of fillers, plasticizers, crosslinking agents, and various additives.
[0006] Furthermore, it is common practice to use functionalized alkylsilanes as what are called adhesion promoters. A typical example is the use of aminopropyltrimethoxysilane.
[0007] Of course, not only methyltrimethoxysilane but also all of these alkoxysilanes additionally present in RTV1 sealants may affect curing characteristics such as film-forming time, initial strength, and complete curing. However, this effect is very small and can generally be ignored. However, when using these silanes in the described RTV1 sealants, there are drawbacks that affect production, storage, and use.
[0008] One of the major drawbacks of existing RTV1 sealants is that in the caulking scenario, the base material in contact with the RTV1 sealant, especially natural stone, gets soiled. This is mainly caused by plasticizers that are not incorporated into the polymer matrix. The plasticizers migrate out of the sealant and may form a blackish border with an oily appearance at the contact area with the base material.
[0009] A known solution to this problem is to use very short-chain plasticizers, as disclosed in DE10227590B. Nevertheless, it has been found that there is an additional type of soiling that appears only when the base material is wet. The area in contact with the sealant is highly hydrophobic and does not get wet by water, so it appears to be much lighter in color than the rest of the base material. This phenomenon occurs regardless of the plasticizer used and also occurs when no plasticizer is added at all.
[0010] In contrast to the very highly reactive organoxysilanes described above, high molecular weight organoxysilanes are characterized by low reactivity because they contain long-chain organoxy groups directly bonded to silicon and long-chain organo groups. Summary of the Invention

[0071] To prepare the composition of the present invention, all the components can be mixed with each other in any order. This mixing can be carried out at room temperature under the pressure of the ambient atmosphere, that is, at about 900 - 1100 hPa. However, if desired, this mixing can also be carried out at a higher temperature, for example, in the range of 35 - 135 °C. Furthermore, in order to remove volatile compounds or air, it is also possible to carry out the mixing temporarily or continuously under reduced pressure, such as an absolute pressure of 30 - 500 hPa.
[0072] The mixing of the present invention is preferably carried out in the substantial absence of water, that is, preferably using raw materials having a water content of less than 10000 mg / kg, more preferably less than 5000 mg / kg, and even more particularly less than 1000 mg / kg.

[0074] A further object of the present invention is a method for producing the composition of the present invention by mixing the individual components.
[0075] The method of the present invention can be carried out continuously, batchwise or semi-batchwise using known apparatus according to known methods.
[0076] The composition of the present invention and / or the composition produced according to the present invention can be stored in the absence of moisture and can be crosslinked by the ingress of moisture.
[0077] The typical water content of air is sufficient to crosslink the composition of the present invention. The composition of the present invention is preferably crosslinked at room temperature. If desired, they can also be crosslinked at temperatures higher or lower than room temperature, for example crosslinked at -5°C to 15°C or 30°C to 50°C, and / or carried out by a moisture concentration exceeding the normal moisture content of air.
[0078] Crosslinking is preferably carried out at a pressure of 100 to 1100 hPa, more particularly at the pressure of the ambient atmosphere, in other words at about 900 to 1100 hPa.
[0079] A further object of the present invention is a molded article produced by crosslinking the composition of the present invention.
[0080] The molded article of the present invention preferably has a stress at 100% elongation measured with an ISO 37 type 2 test piece of less than 0.4 MPa.
[0081] The composition of the present invention can be stored in the absence of water and can be used for all purposes for which it is possible to employ a composition that crosslinks to an elastomer by the ingress of water at room temperature.
[0082] Surprisingly, it has been found that it is possible to produce a sealant having good reactivity and high storage stability by exclusively using silanes having a molecular weight exceeding 195 g / mol.
[0083] Furthermore, surprisingly, it could be shown that crosslinkable compositions based only on high molecular weight silanes do not cause soiling of the peripheral zone affecting the caulking of natural stone, even when not containing an inert plasticizer at the same time. There was no expectation that such an undesirable effect would be completely avoided by a relatively small increase in molecular weight. On the contrary, the expectation of those skilled in the art was that alkoxysilanes with a high molecular weight due to low reactivity would require more time to be able to diffuse from the RTV1 sealant during the curing process of the sealant. Therefore, the effect of soiling of the peripheral zone as a result of the hydrophobization of the natural stone surface tended to be enhanced, at least because longer alkyl groups further enhanced the hydrophobization effect.
[0084] Therefore, the composition of the present invention is, for example, as a sealing compound for joints including vertical joints and for similar cavities having a clear width of, for example, 10 to 40 mm in buildings, land vehicles, watercraft and aircraft, or as an adhesive or cement compound, for example in the manufacture of window structures or display cases, and also, for example, in the manufacture of surface members or anti-slip coatings exposed to the continuous action of fresh or salt water, or protective coatings including elastomeric moldings, and has excellent suitability.
[0085] The advantages of the compositions of the present invention are that they are easy to manufacture and are distinguished by a very high storage stability.
[0086] A further advantage of the compositions of the present invention is that they exhibit very good handling properties during use and have excellent processing characteristics in a wide variety of applications.
[0087] An advantage of the crosslinkable composition of the present invention is that the modulus can be customized.
[0088] An advantage of the crosslinkable composition of the present invention is that it adheres very well to a wide variety of substrates.
[0089] An advantage of the crosslinkable composition of the present invention is that it does not cause soiling of the peripheral zone of the adjacent substrate. In particular, it has excellent suitability for grouting natural stone and artificial stone without soiling of the peripheral zone.
[0090] An advantage of the crosslinkable composition of the present invention is that it is very economical in terms of the substances used.
[0091] In the examples described below, all viscosity data relate to a temperature of 25 °C. Unless otherwise indicated, the following examples are carried out at the pressure of the ambient atmosphere, i.e. about 1000 hPa, at room temperature, i.e. about 23 °C, or at the temperature that occurs when the reactants are combined at room temperature without additional heating or cooling, and at a relative atmospheric humidity of about 50%. Furthermore, unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentage data relate to weight.
[0092] Tensile strength, elongation at break, and stress at 100% elongation are determined in accordance with ISO 37 using type 2 test specimens.
[0093] In the context of the present invention, the dynamic viscosity of the organosilicon compound is measured in accordance with DIN 53019. The procedure is as follows. Unless otherwise indicated, the viscosity is measured at 25 °C using a Physica MCR 300 rotational rheometer from Anton Paar. For viscosities from 1 to 200 mPa·s, a coaxial cylinder measuring system (CC27) with an annular measuring gap of 1.13 mm is used, and for viscosities exceeding 200 mPa·s, a cone / plate measuring system (Searle system with CP50-1 measuring cone) is used. The shear rate is adjusted according to the polymer viscosity. (100 s -1 at 1 to 99 mPa·s, 200 s -1 at 100 to 999 mPa·s, 120 s -1 at 1000 to 2999 mPa·s, 80 s -1 at 3000 to 4999 mPa·s, 62 s -1 at 5000 to 9999 mPa·s, 50 s -1at 10,000 to 12,499 mPa·s, 38.5 s -1 at 12,500 to 15,999 mPa·s, 33 s -1 at 16,000 to 19,999 mPa·s, 25 s -1 at 20,000 to 24,999 mPa·s, 20 s -1 at 25,000 to 29,999 mPa·s, 17 s -1 at 30,000 to 39,999 mPa·s, 10 s -1 at 40,000 to 59,999 mPa·s, 5 s -1 at 60,000 to 149,999, 3.3 s -1 at 150,000 to 199,999 mPa·s; 2.5 s -1 at 200,000 to 299,999 mPa·s; 1.5 s -1 at 300,000 to 1,000,000 mPa·s).
[0094] In the present invention, the number average molecular weight Mn and the weight average molecular weight Mw are determined as follows: Method: Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) in accordance with DIN 55672-1 Flow rate: 1.00 mL / min Injection system: Agilent 1200 autosampler (manufactured by Agilent Technologies) Injection volume: 100 μL Eluent: In the case of products containing a phenyl group, tetrahydrofuran >99.5% stabilized with 250 ppm of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) was used, and in the case of materials not containing a phenyl group, analytical grade toluene >99.9% was used. All chemicals are commercially available, for example, from Merck KGaA, D-Darmstadt (DE). Column: Stationary phase: Polystyrene-divinylbenzene from Agilent Technologies. Four columns consisting of a pre-column with a length of 50 mm and three separation columns with a length of 300 mm were connected in series. The inner diameter of all columns was 7.8 mm. The particle size of the gel used was 5 μm. The pore size of the pre-column was 500 Å, and the pore sizes of the three separation columns were 10,000 Å, 500 Å, and 100 Å in sequence. Column temperature: Oven temperature 45 °C. The concentration was measured using an RI detector (measurement principle: deflection, type: Agilent 1200, cell volume: 8 μL, temperature: 45 °C). The system was calibrated using a commercially available polystyrene standard from Agilent as well. Concentration: 0.4 g / L (EasiCal, ready-made polystyrene calibrator, injection volume: 100 μL). As the internal standard substance for toluene as the eluent, tetrahydrofuran was used as the labeling substance, and as the internal standard substance for tetrahydrofuran as the eluent, toluene was used as the labeling substance. Calibration curve fitting: 3rd order polynomial FitPSS. Sample preparation: Approximately 15 - 50 mg of the sample to be measured was dissolved in each eluent (c = approximately 3 - 10 mg / mL). The sample amount was set to an amount that could obtain a clear RI signal. All samples could be completely dissolved in the eluent. Evaluation: The determined molar weight was rounded to the nearest hundred in all cases. The stain on the peripheral zone of the porous substrate was measured according to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) C1248. A test piece composed of a sealant and sandstone was vulcanized at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity for 21 days, then compressed by 25%, and then stored for a total of 28 days. 1) At 23 °C and 50% relative humidity, 2) At a temperature of 70 °C in a thermal cabinet, and 3) Conducted in a UV test chamber as described in ASTM C 1248.
[0095] Subsequently, visually evaluate the stain on the peripheral zone. If there is no visible stain on the peripheral zone, the result is 0 mm. If a stain on the peripheral zone is confirmed, report the maximum width of the band showing the largest stain in mm and round it off to an integer.
