Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition, a surface treatment method, and a method for manufacturing a cured coating film-containing material.
Background Art
[0002] For resins required for applications such as rooftop waterproofing, lining of concrete and mortar for sewers, verandas, corridors, pools, roads, water receiving tanks, etc., paints, putties, adhesives, etc., they should maintain high elongation against vibrations of buildings, cracks in the underlying concrete or mortar, and impacts of falling objects, and the waterproof layer should sufficiently follow the underlying concrete. In addition to this, the waterproof layer should have alkali resistance against Ca(OH)2 oozing out from the underlying concrete in contact with the waterproof layer, and further have high adhesiveness to the substrate. If the waterproof layer cannot sufficiently follow the stress of the elongation of the underlying concrete, cracks will occur in the waterproof layer, causing peeling from the underlying concrete or water infiltration. When water contacts the concrete, Ca(OH)2 oozes out and further deteriorates the waterproof layer.
[0003] Particularly, in the case of sewers, in the gas phase part of the concrete structures of sewer treatment facilities, hydrogen sulfide by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria is sulfated, and with long-term use, the surface becomes vulnerable, affecting the structural strength of the facilities.
[0004] For the repair method of aging sewer treatment facilities, a method is usually used in which a cross-sectional repair material is applied to the deteriorated layer thickness of the wall surface of the existing deteriorated concrete structure, hardened, then a primer is applied, and then a base adjustment material is applied for the purpose of unevenness adjustment, and subsequently a coating-type resin lining material is applied. Also, in the case of constructing new structures, a method is used in which a primer is applied to the concrete base, and then a base adjustment material is applied for the purpose of unevenness adjustment, and then an anticorrosive coating resin lining material is applied.
[0005] As the curable resin composition used for the coating-type resin lining material as described above, an unsaturated polyester resin composition has conventionally been used. Recently, a resin composition containing epoxy (meth)acrylate obtained by reacting an epoxy resin with an unsaturated monobasic acid, particularly acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (generally referred to as a "vinyl ester resin composition") has also been used.
[0006] In known unsaturated polyester resin compositions and vinyl ester resin compositions used for coating-type lining materials, styrene monomer is generally used as a reactive diluent (monomer). However, the mixture of this ester and styrene has a peculiar odor, and this odor diffuses into the surrounding environment during construction, causing problems. Therefore, a method of adsorbing volatile styrene with an activated carbon adsorption device has been introduced. In addition, for styrene, the emission quantity and transfer quantity publication system is applicable due to its designation as a Class I Specified Chemical Substance under the PRTR Act (Act on Promotion of Chemical Substances Discharge Control). Moreover, styrene was designated as a Specified Chemical Substance as of November 1, 2014 (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare), and its management is necessary. In addition, the regulation of the styrene concentration in styrene-containing unsaturated polyester resins and vinyl ester resins has become stricter, and countermeasures are urgently required.
[0007] Furthermore, unsaturated polyester resins generally have good rigidity and heat resistance, but are poor in elongation, water resistance, and alkali resistance. In addition, vinyl ester resins, which are excellent in water resistance and alkali resistance, have a low elongation rate. Therefore, improvement of these properties is desired.
[0008] As a method for imparting elongation to these unsaturated polyester resins and vinyl ester resins, there is a method of adding a flexibility-imparting agent to the resin, such as a flexible resin, a plasticizer, etc. Specifically, it is a method of dispersing and modifying a liquid polybutadiene copolymer such as a terminal carboxy group-modified butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer, a terminal vinyl group-modified polybutadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer, etc. in the resin, or a method of dissolving and curing a compatible rubber component. Furthermore, a method of obtaining an elastic polymer by defining the mol% of the unsaturated acids in the main chain and at the terminals of the molecular structure of the unsaturated polyester as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known as a known technique.
[0009] However, in these conventional techniques, for example, in the method of adding a flexible resin or a plasticizer, it is difficult to obtain a resin with a low water absorption rate. Furthermore, in the method of dispersing a liquid polybutadiene copolymer, the compatibility of the two components often becomes a problem, and in that case, it is likely to become a brittle resin. Also, the solution in which the liquid polybutadiene copolymer is dispersed has extremely poor workability due to its high viscosity. The method of obtaining an elastic polymer by defining the mol% of the unsaturated acids in the main chain and at the terminals in the molecular structure of the unsaturated polyester is effective for imparting elongation and impact resistance at room temperature, but in order to lower the crosslink density of the cured product, it will further increase the water absorption rate.
[0010] For the purpose of solving these problems, it has been proposed in Patent Document 2 to use a vinyl ester resin having a dimer acid or a dimer acid derivative in its molecular structure, but even when this method is used, the water absorption at high temperatures is still not sufficient.
[0011] On the other hand, regarding the response to the regulation of styrene, a resin composition comprising a so-called epoxy acrylate or epoxy methacrylate (i.e., a vinyl ester resin) obtained by reacting an epoxy resin with an unsaturated monobasic acid, particularly acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and a mixture of monomers copolymerizable with this vinyl ester resin is known.
[0012] Regarding the technology of low-odor resin compositions, technologies related to low odor are disclosed in Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, etc. Further, as a lining material using a photopolymerizable resin composition in which a photoinitiator is added to a curable resin composition and cured by ultraviolet irradiation, for example, Patent Document 5 describes a photocurable material containing an unsaturated polyester and / or a vinyl ester resin and a bisacylphosphine oxide compound. However, such resin compositions are not yet sufficient in terms of performance such as low odor, water resistance, chemical resistance, durability, adhesion, and air-dryability.
[0013] Furthermore, regarding the technology of aqueous resin compositions, for example, technologies related to aqueous systems are disclosed in Patent Document 6, Patent Document 7, etc. All of them have active hydrogen-containing compounds, polyisocyanate compounds, hydraulic cement, water, and cement water reducers as basic components. However, none of these materials had sufficient various properties such as the strength, waterproofness, and adhesiveness of the cured product, nor sufficient curing properties.
[0014] In addition, as other aqueous lining materials, emulsion-type aqueous lining materials such as those in Patent Document 8 and Patent Document 9 have been proposed. However, the technology described in Patent Document 8 utilizes the reaction between the carboxy group in the acrylic resin emulsion and a crosslinking agent having a carboximide group, and the reaction between the alcoholic hydroxyl group in the acrylic resin emulsion and a compound containing a plurality of isocyanato groups. Essentially, like Patent Document 6 and Patent Document 7, various properties such as the strength, waterproofness, and adhesiveness of the cured product, and the curing properties were not sufficient.
[0015] Regarding the technology described in Patent Document 9, it is an aqueous lining material using a radical-curable resin composition obtained by emulsifying a mixture of a vinyl ester resin, a polymerizable unsaturated monomer, water, a hardening accelerator, a reactive surfactant, and fibers, and using an organic peroxide as a curing agent as needed. Although this aqueous lining material exhibits resistance to repeated cold and heat tests by borrowing the strength of the fibers, the resistance of the resin cured product itself to repeated cold and heat tests was not satisfactory.

[Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention]
[0021] (Resin Composition) The resin composition according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the resin composition of the present embodiment) contains component (a) and component (b). The component (a) has a structure derived from one or more compounds (DA) selected from the group consisting of dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms and trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms in the molecule, a structure derived from bisphenol A type epoxy resin (BP), a (meth)acryloyloxy group, and a terminal structure (T1) of the following formula (1) in the molecule. The component (b) is at least one reactive diluent having at least one (meth)acryloyloxy group in the molecule and having a viscosity at 25°C of 2 to 500 mPa·s. [Chemical Formula]
[0022] In the above formula (1), R1 represents H or CH3. The dashed line represents the bonding site. R 2 represents H or a (meth)acryloyl group.
[0023] Hereinafter, each component used in the resin composition of the present embodiment will be described in detail, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0024] <Component (a)> Component (a) contained in the resin composition of the present embodiment has a structure derived from one or more compounds (DA) selected from the group consisting of dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms and trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms in the molecule, a structure derived from bisphenol A type epoxy resin (BP), a (meth)acryloyloxy group, and the terminal structure (T1) of the above formula (1). In addition, the (meth)acryloyloxy group contained in the terminal structure of the formula (1) is also counted in the number of moles of the (meth)acryloyloxy group.
[0025] The structure derived from (BP) derived from the above bisphenol A type epoxy resin is an organic residue derived from bisphenol A type epoxy resin. When the bisphenol A type epoxy resin is an n-mer of bisphenol A, it is an organic residue derived from bisphenol A type epoxy resin including the n-mer. The structure derived from (DA) derived from one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms and trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms is an organic residue derived from one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms and trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms.
[0026] The "dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms" referred to here is a dicarboxylic acid having 36 carbon atoms produced by dimerization of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms using vegetable oils such as linoleic acid as a raw material, and is, for example, as described in Non-Patent Document 1 (Akira Misono, Yasuzo Uchida, Journal of the Oil Chemical Society, 15, 363-368 (1966)).
[0027] The "trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms" referred to herein is a tricarboxylic acid having 54 carbon atoms produced by trimerization of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms using vegetable oils and fats such as linoleic acid as a raw material.
[0028] The terminal structure (T1) of the formula (1) can generally be obtained by an addition reaction of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and a compound having a glycidyl group. Further, the terminal structure (T1) of the formula (1) can generally be obtained by an addition reaction of glycidyl acrylate or glycidyl methacrylate and a compound having a carboxy group.
[0029] In addition, R in the formula (1) 1 represents H or CH3. However, when importance is attached to the hydrolysis resistance of the polymer of the resin composition of the present embodiment described later, R in the formula (1) 1 is preferably CH3.
[0030] The component (a) contained in the resin composition of the present embodiment is a compound having a structure derived from a bisphenol A type epoxy resin, and preferably a compound having at least one of the structures of the following formula (2) and the following formula (3).
[0031] One of the preferable factors that the resin composition of the present embodiment contains a compound having at least one of the structures of the formula (2) and the formula (3) is that when the polymer of the resin composition of the present embodiment is produced, the polymer is less likely to become opaque and is likely to form a uniform transparent film. As a result, the physical properties of the polymer film are stabilized. In addition, it can be mentioned that the water resistance is improved by containing a compound having at least one of the structures of the formula (2) and the formula (3).
[0032]

[0033] In formula (2), R 11 and R 3 each independently represents H or CH3, and X represents a hydrocarbon group obtained by removing a carboxy group from the dimer acid. The dashed line represents the bonding site. R 21 represents H or a (meth)acryloyl group. R 6 represents H or a (meth)acryloyl group. n = 1 to 10. n is preferably n = 1 to 5, and more preferably n = 1. If n is within that range or value, the viscosity does not become too high and the workability is good.
[0034]
Chemical formula
[0035] In formula (3), R 12 and R 5 each independently represents H or CH3, and Y represents a hydrocarbon group obtained by removing a carboxy group from the trimer acid. The dashed line represents the bonding site. R 22 represents H or a (meth)acryloyl group. R 7 represents H or a (meth)acryloyl group. p = 1 to 10.
[0036] When emphasizing the hydrolysis resistance of the polymer according to this embodiment, R 11 in formula (2) is preferably CH3.
[0037] Also, when emphasizing the hydrolysis resistance of the polymer according to this embodiment, R 12 in formula (3) is preferably CH3.
[0038] In the component (a), when importance is attached to the flexibility, thermal stability, and light stability of the polymer according to the present embodiment, the proportion of the total amount of hydrocarbon groups derived from dimer acid, which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms containing the hydrocarbon group X and the hydrocarbon group Y, and trimer acid, which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms, in the total amount of the component (a) is preferably 10% by mass or more, more preferably 15% by mass or more.
[0039] Also, as described above, in the component (a), when importance is attached to the curing rate at the air contact surface of the resin composition in contact with air during the polymerization of the resin composition of the present embodiment, the proportion of the total amount of hydrocarbon groups derived from dimer acid, which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms containing the hydrocarbon group X and the hydrocarbon group Y, and trimer acid, which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms, in the total amount of the component (a) is preferably 40% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more. However, when importance is attached to thermal stability and light stability, it may also be solved by using an antioxidant or an ultraviolet absorber in some cases.

[0044] [Chemical formula]

[0046] When the mol ratio of the structure derived from the above (DA) in the component (a) is represented by the following formula (A), the mol ratio of the structure derived from the above (DA) is preferably 0.07 to 0.3, and more preferably 0.07 to 0.25.)
[0047] Mol ratio of the structure derived from (DA)=[(mol number of the structure derived from (DA))] / [(mol number of the structure derived from (DA))+(mol number of the structure derived from (BP))+(mol number of the (meth)acryloyloxy group)] (A) Note that the "number of moles of the structure derived from (DA)" is the total number of moles of the structures of formula (10) and formula (11), and the "number of moles of the structure derived from (BP)" is the number of moles of the structure of formula (12). The "number of moles of (meth)acryloyloxy group" is the total number of moles of all (meth)acryloyloxy groups bonded as the terminal structure (T1) or side chains.

Chemical formula
[0051] When the mol ratio of the (meth)acryloyloxy group other than the terminal structure (T1) in the component (a) is represented by the following formula (B), the mol ratio of the (meth)acryloyloxy group other than the terminal structure (T1) is preferably 0.25 to 0.52, more preferably 0.30 to 0.47, and still more preferably 0.35 to 0.42.
[0052] Mol ratio of (meth)acryloyloxy group other than terminal structure (T1) = [Number of moles of (meth)acryloyloxy group other than terminal structure (T1)] / [(Number of moles of structure derived from (DA)) + (Number of moles of structure derived from (BP)) + (Number of moles of (meth)acryloyloxy group)] (B)
[0053] In the component (a), the mol ratio of the structure derived from (DA) represented by the formula (A) is 0.07 to 0.3, and the mol ratio of the (meth)acryloyloxy group other than the terminal structure (T1) represented by the formula (B) of the terminal structure (T1) is preferably 0.25 to 0.52. It is more preferable that the mol ratio of the structure derived from (DA) is 0.07 to 0.25, and the mol ratio of the (meth)acryloyloxy group other than the terminal structure (T1) is 0.30 to 0.47. Further, it is more preferable that the mol ratio of the structure derived from (DA) is 0.07 to 0.25, and the mol ratio of the (meth)acryloyloxy group other than the terminal structure (T1) is 0.35 to 0.42.
[0054] The component (a) contained in the resin composition of the present embodiment is preferably obtained by reacting a bisphenol A type epoxy resin (BP) with one or more compounds (DA) selected from the group consisting of dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms and trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms, and then reacting with maleic anhydride (meth)acrylate. With respect to 1 mol of the bisphenol A type epoxy resin (BP), the amount of one or more compounds (DA) selected from the group consisting of dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms and trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms to be reacted is preferably 0.1 to 0.6 mol, more preferably 0.2 to 0.5 mol, and still more preferably 0.3 to 0.4 mol.
[0055] It is more preferable that the component (a) is obtained by reacting a bisphenol A type epoxy resin (BP) with one or more compounds (DA) selected from the group consisting of dimer acid which is a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms and trimer acid which is a trimer of an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms, and then reacting with maleic anhydride (meth)acrylate and (meth)acrylate. Preferably, the amount of the (meth)acrylic acid is 0.25 to 1.70 mol, more preferably 0.4 to 1.4 mol, and even more preferably 0.5 to 1.1 mol, per 1 mol of the anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid.
[0056] Specifically, as a method for obtaining component (a), for example, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and dimer acid are used such that the number of moles of the glycidyl group of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether is larger than the number of moles of the carboxyl group of dimer acid, and they are heated and reacted in the presence of a catalyst. Then, the glycidyl group not used in the reaction of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and dimer acid is reacted with (meth)acrylic acid, and further reacted with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid to obtain it (Method 1). Also, in the above Method 1, instead of "reacting the glycidyl group with (meth)acrylic acid and further reacting with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid", the glycidyl group may be reacted with (meth)acrylic acid and anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid simultaneously by adding (meth)acrylic acid and anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid at the same time. Alternatively, instead of "reacting the glycidyl group with (meth)acrylic acid and further reacting with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid", the glycidyl group may be reacted only with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid. Similarly, when using trimeric acid instead of dimeric acid, for example, 3 mol of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (i.e., 6 mol of glycidyl groups in bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) and 1 mol of trimeric acid (i.e., 3 mol of carboxyl groups of trimeric acid) are heated and reacted in the presence of a catalyst. Then, the glycidyl groups not used in the reaction of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and trimeric acid (in the case of 100% reaction rate, 3 mol of glycidyl groups will remain unused) are reacted with (meth)acrylic acid, and further reacted with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid to obtain the product (Method 1'). In the above Method 1', instead of "reacting the glycidyl groups with (meth)acrylic acid and further reacting with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid", the glycidyl groups may be reacted with (meth)acrylic acid and anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid simultaneously by adding (meth)acrylic acid and anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid at the same time. Alternatively, instead of "reacting the glycidyl groups with (meth)acrylic acid and further reacting with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid", the glycidyl groups may be reacted only with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid.
[0057] As another method, for example, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and dimeric acid are used in such a way that the number of moles of glycidyl groups in bisphenol A diglycidyl ether is less than the number of moles of carboxyl groups in dimeric acid, heated and reacted in the presence of a catalyst. Then, the carboxyl groups not used in the reaction of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and dimeric acid are reacted with glycidyl methacrylate, and further reacted with anhydrous (meth)acrylic acid to also obtain the product (Method 2). Similarly, when using trimeric acid instead of dimeric acid, for example, 2 mol of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (i.e., 4 mol of glycidyl groups in bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) and 3 mol of trimeric acid (i.e., 9 mol of carboxyl groups of trimeric acid) are heated and reacted in the presence of a catalyst. Then, the carboxyl groups not used in the reaction of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and trimeric acid (in the case of 100% reaction rate, 5 mol of carboxyl groups will remain unused) are reacted with glycidyl methacrylate, and further reacted with (meth)acrylic anhydride to obtain the product (Method 2').
[0058] Furthermore, as another method, for example, dimeric acid diglycidyl ester and bisphenol A are used such that the number of moles of phenolic hydroxyl groups of bisphenol A is less than the number of moles of glycidyl groups of dimeric acid diglycidyl ester, and they are reacted in the presence of a catalyst. Then, the glycidyl groups derived from dimeric acid diglycidyl ester not used in the reaction of dimeric acid diglycidyl ester and bisphenol A are reacted with (meth)acrylic acid, and further reacted with (meth)acrylic anhydride to also obtain the product (Method 3). Similarly, when using trimeric acid triglycidyl ester instead of dimeric acid diglycidyl ester, for example, 3 mol of bisphenol A (i.e., 6 mol of phenolic hydroxyl groups of bisphenol A) and 5 mol of trimeric acid triglycidyl ester (i.e., 15 mol of glycidyl groups of trimeric acid triglycidyl ester) are heated and reacted in the presence of a catalyst. Then, the glycidyl groups not used in the reaction of bisphenol A and trimeric acid triglycidyl ester (in the case of 100% reaction rate, 9 mol of glycidyl groups will remain unused) are reacted with (meth)acrylic acid, and further reacted with (meth)acrylic anhydride to obtain the product (Method 3').
[0059] Furthermore, as another method, for example, diglycidyl ester of dimer acid and bisphenol A are used with the moles of phenolic hydroxyl groups of bisphenol A being more than the moles of ester structure of diglycidyl dimer acid, heated in the presence of a catalyst, reacted, and then the phenolic hydroxyl groups not used in the reaction of bisphenol A and diglycidyl dimer acid are reacted with glycidyl methacrylate, and further reacted with (meth)acrylic anhydride, whereby it can also be obtained (Method 4). Similarly, when using triglycidyl ester of trimer acid instead of diglycidyl ester of dimer acid, for example, 3 moles of bisphenol A (i.e., 6 moles of phenolic hydroxyl groups of bisphenol A) and 1 mole of triglycidyl ester of trimer acid (i.e., 3 moles of glycidyl groups of triglycidyl ester of trimer acid) are heated in the presence of a catalyst and reacted, and then the phenolic hydroxyl groups not used in the reaction of bisphenol A and triglycidyl ester of trimer acid (when the reaction rate is 100%, 3 moles of phenolic hydroxyl groups will remain unused) are reacted with glycidyl (meth)acrylate, and further reacted with (meth)acrylic anhydride, whereby it can be obtained (Method 4').
[0060] When emphasizing the flexibility, thermal stability, and light stability of the polymer of the resin composition of the present embodiment described later (simply referred to as "the polymer according to the present embodiment"), the proportion of hydrocarbon groups derived from dimer acid, which is a dimer of unsaturated fatty acids having 18 carbon atoms, and trimer acid, which is a trimer of unsaturated fatty acids having 18 carbon atoms, in the total amount of component (a) is preferably 10% by mass or more, and more preferably 15% by mass or more. However, when emphasizing thermal stability and light stability, it is also possible to solve the problem by using an antioxidant or an ultraviolet absorber.
[0061] Regarding the mol ratio of the structure derived from (DA) represented by the above formula (A), as shown in the examples, a value calculated using the blending amount of the raw materials used may be used. For example, for the mol ratio of the structure derived from the above (DA), the calculated value of the mol ratio of compound (DA) represented by the following formula (A-1) may be used. Mol ratio of compound (DA) = mol number of compound (DA) / [mol number of bisphenol A type epoxy resin + mol number of compound (DA) + mol number of methacrylic acid + mol number of methacrylic anhydride] (A-1) Here, for the mol number of compound (DA), the mol number of methacrylic acid, and the mol number of methacrylic anhydride, they are the "mol numbers based on -COOH group" that react with epoxy groups. Also, for the mol number of bisphenol A type epoxy resin, it is the "mol number based on epoxy group".
[0062] Regarding the mol ratio of the (meth)acryloyloxy group other than the terminal structure (T1) represented by the above formula (B), as shown in the examples, the value calculated using the compounding amounts of the raw materials used may be used. For example, for the mol ratio of the (meth)acryloyloxy group other than the terminal structure (T1), the calculated value of the mol ratio of methacrylic anhydride represented by the following formula (B-1) may be used. Mol ratio of methacrylic anhydride = mol number of methacrylic anhydride / [mol number of bisphenol A type epoxy resin + mol number of dimer acid + mol number of methacrylic acid + mol number of methacrylic anhydride] (B-1) Here, for the mol number of compound (DA), the mol number of methacrylic acid, and the mol number of methacrylic anhydride, they are the "mol numbers based on -COOH group" that react with epoxy groups. Also, for the mol number of bisphenol A type epoxy resin, it is the "mol number based on epoxy group".

[0075] A polymerizable component that does not belong to either component (a) or component (b), which are essential components of the resin composition of this embodiment. The ranges of the preferred amounts of use of component (a), component (b), and component (b) with respect to the total amount of all polymerizable components are 20 - 60% by mass, 15 - 60% by mass, and 10 - 50% by mass, respectively. The more preferred ranges of the amounts of use of component (a), component (b), and component (b) are 25 - 50% by mass, 18 - 55% by mass, and 10 - 40% by mass, respectively. The even more preferred ranges of the amounts of use of component (a), component (b), and component (b) are 30 - 50% by mass, 20 - 50% by mass, and 12 - 40% by mass, respectively.
[0076] If the amount of component (a) is 20 to 60% by mass based on the total amount of all polymerizable components including component (a), component (b), and polymerizable components that belong to neither component (a) nor component (b), it becomes possible to hardly generate cracks during the thermal cycle test and to keep the water absorption low. If the amount of component (b) is 15 to 60% by mass based on the total amount of all polymerizable components including component (a), component (b), and polymerizable components that belong to neither component (a) nor component (b), there is no lack of surface curing performance, cracks are hardly generated during the thermal cycle test, and defects such as swelling are hardly generated even when immersed in water at a temperature higher than room temperature. If the amount of component (b) is 10 to 50% by mass based on the total amount of all polymerizable components including component (a), component (b), and polymerizable components that belong to neither component (a) nor component (b), component (a) and component (b) can be dissolved to lower the viscosity, cracks are hardly generated during the thermal cycle test, the water absorption can be kept low, and defects such as swelling are hardly generated even when immersed in water at a temperature higher than room temperature.

The polymer of the resin composition of the present embodiment is obtained by mixing the resin composition of the present embodiment and, if necessary, other components to form a mixed solution, and polymerizing the mixed solution using component (d). When a photopolymerization initiator is used as component (d), it is obtained by irradiating ultraviolet rays or visible light. When an azo-based polymerization initiator is used as component (d), it is obtained by heating.

Further, as the organic peroxide-based polymerization initiator, those having a 10-hour half-life temperature of 30 to 170°C are preferred. Note that component (d) may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0102] The amount of component (d) used is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 0.3 to 17 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 15 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of all polymerizable components in the resin composition of the present embodiment. If the amount of component (d) used is in the range of 0.1 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of all polymerizable components, it is possible to obtain a sufficient polymerization rate and sufficient hardness, and it is possible to have a sufficient pot life after adding component (d), and the ease of forming a coating film will not decrease.
[0103] From the viewpoint of surface treatment, the film thickness of the formed cured coating film is preferably 0.1 to 2 mm, more preferably 0.3 to 2 mm, still more preferably 0.5 to 2 mm, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm from the viewpoint of achieving both the requirement that the film thickness is generally not too large and the requirement that the surface treatment effect can be maintained for a long time.

The epoxy equivalent is a value measured in accordance with JIS K7236:2001. · Bisphenol A type epoxy resin: "Epomic (registered trademark) EX-212", manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., epoxy equivalent 188 · Dimer acid: "Haridimer (registered trademark) 200", manufactured by Harima Chemicals, Inc. ※ Monomer acid / Dimer acid / Trimer acid (mass%) Haridimer 200: 7.0 / 76.0 / 17 (carboxylic acid equivalent = 290.725) · Methacrylic acid: "MAA (methacrylic acid)", Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company · Methacrylic anhydride: "VISIOMER (registered trademark) MAAH", Evonik Japan Co., Ltd. · Triphenylphosphine: "TPP", manufactured by Kitakyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.; Esterification catalyst · 2,4,6-Tris (dimethylaminomethyl) phenol: "Seikol (registered trademark) TDMP", manufactured by Seiko Chemical Co., Ltd.; Esterification catalyst
[0114] · Diethylene glycol dimethacrylate: "Light Ester (registered trademark) 2EG", manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd.; Radical polymerizable unsaturated monomer
[0115] (Evaluation method) (Evaluation of acid value of acid component (a)) In accordance with JIS K6901:2021 "Partial acid value (indicator titration method)", the mass of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the acid component contained in the vinyl ester resin synthesized in each example and comparative example was measured to determine the acid value. Note that an "Auto Burette UCB-2000 (trade name, manufactured by Hiranuma Sangyo Co., Ltd.)" was used as the acid value measuring device, and a mixed indicator of bromothymol blue and phenol red was used as the indicator.
[0116] <Acid resistance test (chemical resistance)> The resin composition was applied onto a PET film supported by a glass plate so that the thickness after curing would be approximately 3.5 mm. It was cured in an environment of 23°C and 50% relative humidity for 3 days. Then, the PET film was peeled off to obtain a self-standing film. After leaving this film for one week, test pieces with a width of 15 mm, a length of 100 mm, and a thickness of 7 mm obtained by cutting the cured coating film were each immersed in 10% by volume acetic acid at 40°C for 2 months, and then taken out. The test pieces were washed with ion-exchanged water. By measuring the weight change, the swelling rate (unit: mass%) was obtained from the following calculation formula and used as an index of acid resistance. The smaller the value, the higher the acid resistance.
[0117] [Calculation formula] Swelling rate (mass%) = (mass of test piece after immersion - mass of test piece before immersion) / mass of test piece before immersion × 100 [Judgment method] Less than 2.0% is good (judgment ○). 2.0 - 2.5% is fairly good (judgment △). 2.5% or more indicates that chemical erosion has occurred (judgment ×).
[0118] <Viscosity measurement (workability)> Using an RE-85 type viscometer manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd., of the cone plate type, with a predetermined rotor, The viscosity at 25°C was measured at a rotational speed of 50 rpm.
[0119] [Judgment method] Up to 15000 mPa·s is good, and 10000 mPa·s or less is even better. If it is 15000 mPa·s or more, there will be difficulties in workability and a uniform film cannot be formed.
[0120] <Tensile elongation rate measurement (crack resistance during thermal cycle test)> At 23°C, 1.0 part of 8% cobalt octylate was added to and mixed with 100 parts of the resin composition. Then, 1.5 parts of curing agent 328EM (manufactured by Chemical Nuon Co., Ltd.) was added and mixed to prepare a cast product. After 24 hours, post-curing was carried out at 120°C for 2 hours to obtain test pieces. For the measurement of the casting physical properties, in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS K 7113:1995), using an Instron 5583 type (5590R) (Instron Japan Co., Ltd.), the tensile elongation rate was measured.
[0121] [Judgment Method] An elongation of 1.5% or more is good. An elongation of 2.0% or more is even better. An elongation of 1.5% or less is bad. When made into a coating film, it will crack during drying.

[0126] Note that the mol ratio of dimer acid is represented by the following formula. Mol ratio of dimer acid = Molar compounding amount of dimer acid / Total molar compounding amount of [bisphenol A type epoxy resin + dimer acid + methacrylic acid + methacrylic anhydride] The mol ratio of methacrylic anhydride is represented by the following formula. Mol ratio of methacrylic anhydride = Molar compounding amount of methacrylic anhydride / Total molar compounding amount of [bisphenol A type epoxy resin + dimer acid + methacrylic acid + methacrylic anhydride]
[0127] The vinyl ester resin composition (VE-1) obtained was evaluated by the above evaluation methods, and the evaluation results are shown in Table 6.
