[0009] According to the present invention, a blocked urethane can be provided which can be used as a raw material for adhesives having excellent low-temperature impact strength and excellent storage stability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The following describes in detail an embodiment of the present invention, but the description of the constituent elements described below is one example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following description as long as it does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. Note that when the expression "to" is used in this specification, it is used as an expression that includes the numerical values ​​or physical property values ​​before and after it. The blocked urethane of this embodiment is a heat-reactive urethane resin with blocked isocyanate groups in the urethane skeleton. The terminal active isocyanate groups are protected with a blocking agent, and the resin remains stable at room temperature. When subjected to heat treatment, the blocking agent dissociates, regenerating the active isocyanate groups, which initiate a curing and crosslinking reaction, thereby developing adhesive strength. Furthermore, although a number of embodiments are described in this specification, various conditions in each embodiment may be applied to each other to the extent that they are applicable.

[0011] <Blocked urethane composition> A blocked urethane according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "blocked urethane") (also referred to as "blocked urethane") is a blocked urethane containing structural units derived from a polyol (A) and structural units derived from a polyisocyanate compound (B), containing at least structural units derived from a polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1) represented by the following formula (1) as the structural units derived from the polyol (A), and the carbonate equivalent of the polyol (A) is 200 g / eq or more.

[0012] [ka]

[0013] In the formula (1), R 1 represents a divalent hydrocarbon group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and n 1 is 2 to 30, and m 1 is 1 to 20. In addition, in formula (1), multiple R 1 may be the same or different, and multiple n 1 may be the same or different.

[0014] [Polyol (A)] The blocked urethane contains, as the polyol (A), at least a structural unit derived from the polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1) represented by the above formula (1). The structural unit derived from the polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1) contained as the polyol (A) in the blocked urethane may be of one type or two or more types.

[0015] In formula (1), R 1 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably a linear or branched alkylene group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, more preferably a linear or branched alkylene group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, particularly preferably a butylene group having 4 carbon atoms or a 2-methylbutylene group having 5 carbon atoms, and most particularly preferably an n-butylene group. 1 R related to the part represented by 1 It is preferable that --O-- is derived from polytetramethylene ether glycol from the viewpoints of industrial availability and excellent physical properties of the resulting blocked urethane.

[0016] In the above formula (1), n 1 is an average value of 2 to 30, preferably 3 to 20, more preferably 4 to 20, and further preferably 4 to 15. 1 If the content is less than the lower limit, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive tends to be poor, whereas if the content exceeds the upper limit, the viscosity and crystallinity of the polyether polycarbonate diol increase, leading to poor handleability and poor storage stability of the resulting blocked urethane.

[0017] In the above formula (1), m 1 is an average value of 1 to 20, preferably 1 to 15, and more preferably 1 to 10. 1 If the viscosity is less than the lower limit, the performance of the resulting blocked urethane as a reinforcing agent tends to be inferior, whereas if the viscosity is greater than the upper limit, the viscosity increases, which may impair handling during production of the blocked urethane.

[0018] The mass ratio of the polyether polycarbonate diol represented by formula (1) to the mass (100%) of all polyols contained in polyol (A) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 50% or more, and even more preferably 70% or more, and the upper limit is not particularly limited, and may be 100% or less. When the ratio is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the above range, an excellent balance of effects of storage stability and low-temperature impact strength is achieved.

[0019] The polyol (A) contained in the blocked urethane may contain, as a structural unit derived from the polyol (A), a structural unit derived from a polyol other than the structural unit derived from the polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1) represented by the above formula (1) (hereinafter also referred to as "other polyols"). The structural unit derived from the other polyol may be of one type or of two or more types.

[0020] The other polyols are not particularly limited as long as they are those that are commonly used in the production of polyurethanes, and examples thereof include polyether polyols, polyester polyols, polycaprolactone polyols, and polycarbonate polyols. In particular, from the viewpoint of low-temperature impact strength when used as an adhesive, the blocked urethane preferably contains a structural unit derived from a polyol (A-2) that does not contain a carbonate group, and from the viewpoint of hydrolysis resistance, it is more preferable that the blocked urethane contains a structural unit derived from a polyether polyol.

[0021] Examples of polyether polyols include polytetramethylene ether glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol. In particular, from the viewpoint of low-temperature impact strength when used as an adhesive, the blocked urethane preferably contains either a structural unit derived from polytetramethylene ether glycol or a structural unit derived from polypropylene glycol.

[0022] When the blocked urethane contains structural units derived from polyol (A-2), the mass ratio of the structural units derived from polyol (A-1) to the structural units derived from polyol (A-2) is preferably 1:9 to 9:1, and more preferably 2:8 to 8:2. Having this ratio within the above range improves the storage stability and the low-temperature impact strength when used as an adhesive.

[0023] From the viewpoint of storage stability and low-temperature impact strength when used as an adhesive, the carbonate equivalent of the polyol is not particularly limited as long as it is 200 g / eq or more, but is preferably 300 g / eq or more, more preferably 500 g / eq or more, even more preferably 800 g / eq or more, and particularly preferably 1000 g / eq or more, and is preferably 10000 g / eq or less, more preferably 5000 g / eq or less, even more preferably 4000 g / eq or less, and particularly preferably 3000 g / eq or less. If the carbonate equivalent is above the lower limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength when used as an adhesive is further improved. Furthermore, if the carbonate equivalent is below the upper limit of the above range, the storage stability is excellent.

[0024] The carbonate equivalent (g / eq) of a polyol (hereinafter referred to as "polyol X" in this description) is calculated using the following formula: The number average molecular weight of polyol X in the following formula can be measured by the method described below. Carbonate equivalent of polyol X (g / eq) = number average molecular weight of polyol X / average number of carbonate groups per molecule of polyol X When the blocked urethane contains structural units derived from x types (x is an integer of 1 or greater) of polyols (polyol 1, polyol 2, ..., polyol x) as structural units derived from polyol (A), the carbonate equivalent of polyol (A) is represented by the following formula: In the formula, "parts by mass" represents the parts by mass of the polyol component contained in the blocked urethane (parts by mass of the structural units derived from the polyol). Carbonate equivalent weight (g / eq) of polyol (A) = (parts by mass of polyol 1 + parts by mass of polyol 2 + + parts by mass of polyol x) / {(parts by mass of polyol 1 / carbonate equivalent weight of polyol 1) + (parts by mass of polyol 2 / carbonate equivalent weight of polyol 2) + + (parts by mass of polyol x / carbonate equivalent weight of polyol x)} In addition, in the case of polyol k having a carbonate equivalent of 0 g / eq, (parts by mass of polyol k / carbonate equivalent of polyol k) is set to 0 g / eq.

[0025] The content of structural units derived from polyol (A) contained in the block urethane is not particularly limited, but is preferably 44% by mass or more, more preferably 46% by mass or more, even more preferably 48% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 50% by mass or more, relative to 100% by mass of the block urethane. It is also preferably 85% by mass or less, more preferably 84% by mass or less, even more preferably 83% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 80% by mass or less. When the content is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the above range, the storage stability and low-temperature impact strength of the adhesive are further improved. When the content is equal to or less than the upper limit of the above range, the storage stability and low-temperature impact strength of the adhesive are further improved.

[0026] The number average molecular weight calculated from the hydroxyl value of the polyol (A) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 500 or more, more preferably 600 or more, even more preferably 800 or more, and particularly preferably 1000 or more, and is preferably 15000 or less, more preferably 10000 or less, even more preferably 4000 or less, and particularly preferably 3000 or less. If the number average molecular weight is at least the lower limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved. Furthermore, if the number average molecular weight is at most the upper limit of the above range, the storage stability is excellent.

[0027] The number average molecular weight can be determined by the following method. First, the hydroxyl value of a polyol is measured in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard by preparing a tetrahydrofuran solution and subjecting the hydroxyl groups to urethanization with p-toluenesulfonyl isocyanate. The excess urethanization reagent is then hydrolyzed with water, and the sulfonylamide ester formed from the sample hydroxyl groups is titrated with a base to determine the hydroxyl value. Next, the number average molecular weight (Mn) is calculated from the obtained hydroxyl value using the following formula (I): Number average molecular weight = 2 × 56.1 / (hydroxyl value × 10 -3 ) ···(I)

[0028] The polyol (A) used as a raw material that provides the structural units derived from the polyol (A) may be a commercially available product.

[0029] [Polyisocyanate] The blocked urethane contains structural units derived from a polyisocyanate compound (B). The polyisocyanate compound (B) may be any compound having two or more isocyanate groups, and examples thereof include various known aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic polyisocyanate compounds. The structural unit derived from the polyisocyanate compound (B) contained in the blocked urethane may be of one type or two or more types.

[0030] Examples of the polyisocyanate compound (B) include aliphatic diisocyanate compounds such as tetramethylene diisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate, and dimer diisocyanate in which the carboxyl groups of dimer acid are converted to isocyanate groups; and aliphatic diisocyanates such as 1,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, 1-methyl-2,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 1-methyl-2,6-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, 1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, and 1,5-pentamethylene diisocyanate. cyclic diisocyanate compounds; aromatic diisocyanate compounds such as xylylene diisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenyl diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate (2,4-toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate), m-phenylene diisocyanate, p-phenylene diisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenyldimethylmethane diisocyanate, 4,4'-dibenzyl diisocyanate, dialkyldiphenylmethane diisocyanate, tetraalkyldiphenylmethane diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthylene diisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-biphenylene diisocyanate, polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate, phenylene diisocyanate, and m-tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate;

[0031] Among these, diisocyanates are preferred because they help to suppress gelation during urethane production. Aliphatic diisocyanates and alicyclic diisocyanates are preferred because the resulting blocked urethane has favorable physical properties, and 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, and isophorone diisocyanate are particularly preferred because they are available industrially in large quantities at low cost.

[0032] The content of structural units derived from polyisocyanate compound (B) contained in the block urethane is not particularly limited, but is preferably 11% by mass or more, more preferably 12% by mass or more, even more preferably 13% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 14% by mass or more, relative to 100% by mass of the block urethane. It is also preferably 26% by mass or less, more preferably 25% by mass or less, even more preferably 24% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 23% by mass or less. When the content is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the above range, the storage stability and low-temperature impact strength of the adhesive are further improved. When the content is equal to or less than the upper limit of the above range, the storage stability and low-temperature impact strength of the adhesive are further improved, resulting in excellent storage stability.

[0033] As the polyisocyanate compound (B) as a raw material that provides the structural units derived from the polyisocyanate compound (B), a commercially available product may be used.

In this case, the measurement conditions can be, for example, as follows. Column: Tosoh Corporation's "TSKgel superHZM-H" + "TSKgel superHZ4000" x 2 + "TSKgel super3000" + "TSKgel Super 2000" Eluent: tetrahydrofuran ·Flow rate: 0.5mL / min Detection: RI ·Temperature: 40℃ Sample concentration: 0.4% by mass Injection volume: 10 μL Weight average molecular weight Mw of blocked urethane: Calculated from the peak at elution time 0-28 min

[0040] The structure of the blocked urethane can be analyzed by NMR or the like, and from this analysis, the average number of carbonate groups per polyol molecule and the like can be evaluated.

[0041] The content of structural units derived from the blocking agent (C) contained in the block urethane can be evaluated by the above-mentioned analytical method, but it may also be evaluated from the amount of each raw material used.

[0042] <Method of manufacturing blocked urethane> The method for producing the blocked urethane is not particularly limited as long as it is a commonly used method, but examples include a method comprising a step of reacting a polyol (A) and a polyisocyanate compound (B) to obtain a urethane prepolymer (hereinafter referred to as a prepolymerization step), and a step of blocking the terminal isocyanate groups of the urethane prepolymer with a blocking agent (C) (hereinafter referred to as a blocking step). In this example, at least a polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1) represented by the following formula (1) is used as the polyol (A), and the carbonate equivalent of the polyol (A) is 200 g / eq or more.

[0043] [Prepolymerization process] In the prepolymerization step, polyol (A) is reacted with an excess equivalent of polyisocyanate compound (B) relative to the hydroxyl group equivalent of polyol (A) to produce a prepolymer having an isocyanate group at the molecular chain terminal. the isocyanate group of the polyisocyanate compound (B) in the prepolymerization step; The molar ratio of the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate compound (B) to the hydroxyl groups derived from the polyol (A) (isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate compound (B) / hydroxyl groups derived from the polyol (A)) is preferably 1.2 to 5.0, more preferably 1.4 to 3.0, and particularly preferably 1.6 to 2.5. By keeping it within the above range, a decrease in the number of functional groups as a blocked urethane and an increase in the amount of unreacted polyisocyanate monomer remaining in the prepolymerization step can be suppressed, and the performance as a toughening agent can be fully exhibited.

[0044] The polyol (A) used may be one type, or as mentioned above, two types may be used. When two types of polyols are used, it is preferable to use a polyol (A-2) that does not contain a carbonate group together with the polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1) represented by the following formula (1), particularly from the viewpoint of low-temperature impact strength when formed into an adhesive. As mentioned above, the polyol (A-2) is preferably a polyether polyol, and more preferably polytetramethylene ether glycol or polypropylene glycol.

[0045] In the prepolymerization step, a catalyst can be added as needed. Examples of the catalyst include amine catalysts such as triethylamine, tributylamine, N-ethylmorpholine, and triethylenediamine; acid catalysts such as acetic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfonic acid; tin compounds such as trimethyltin laurate, dibutyltin dilaurate, dioctyltin dilaurate, and dioctyltin dineodecanoate; and organometallic salts of titanium compounds. One catalyst may be used alone, or two or more catalysts may be used in combination. The amount of the catalyst added is preferably 1 ppm by mass or more and 3000 ppm by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the polyurethane resin.

[0046] The reaction temperature in the prepolymerization reaction is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of controlling heat generation during the reaction, it is preferably 60 to 100°C, more preferably 65 to 95°C, and even more preferably 70 to 90°C. The reaction time in the prepolymerization reaction is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of disappearance of isocyanate groups, it is preferably 30 to 210 minutes, more preferably 60 to 180 minutes, and even more preferably 90 to 150 minutes. The reaction atmosphere in the prepolymerization reaction is not particularly limited, and may be an air atmosphere, but is preferably an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen gas or argon gas.

[0047] [Blocking process] In the blocking step, the terminal isocyanate groups of the prepolymer having isocyanate groups at the molecular chain terminals produced in the prepolymerization step are blocked with a blocking agent (C) to produce a blocked urethane. The molar ratio of the blocking agent (C) to the terminal isocyanate groups of the prepolymer in the blocking step (blocking agent (C) / terminal isocyanate groups of the prepolymer) is preferably 1.0 to 5.0, more preferably 1.1 to 3.0, and particularly preferably 1.2 to 2.0. If the ratio is less than the lower limit, the isocyanate groups of the prepolymer will remain, shortening the storage stability of the blocked urethane and the pot life of the curable resin composition. If the ratio exceeds the upper limit, the amount of remaining monomer of the blocking agent will increase, impairing the adhesiveness when used as an adhesive, which is undesirable.

[0048] In the blocking step, a catalyst can be added as needed. Examples of the catalyst include amine catalysts such as triethylamine, tributylamine, N-ethylmorpholine, and triethylenediamine, acid catalysts such as acetic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfonic acid, tin compounds such as trimethyltin laurate, dibutyltin dilaurate, dioctyltin dilaurate, and dioctyltin dineodecanoate, and organometallic salts such as titanium compounds. One catalyst may be used alone. Two or more kinds may be used in combination, and the same one as that used in the prepolymerization step may be used, or a different one may be used. The amount of the catalyst added is preferably 1 ppm by mass or more and 3000 ppm by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the polyurethane resin.

[0049] The reaction temperature in the blocking reaction is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of controlling heat generation during the reaction, it is preferably 70 to 110°C, more preferably 75 to 105°C, and even more preferably 80 to 100°C. The reaction time in the blocking reaction is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of disappearance of isocyanate groups, it is preferably 1 to 20 hours, more preferably 2 to 18 hours, and even more preferably 3 to 16 hours. The reaction atmosphere in the blocking reaction is not particularly limited, and may be an air atmosphere, but is preferably an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen gas or argon gas.

[0050] <Configuration of Blocked Urethane Composition> A blocked urethane composition (hereinafter also referred to simply as a "blocked urethane composition") which is another embodiment of the present invention is a blocked urethane composition which contains the above-mentioned blocked urethane (hereinafter also referred to as blocked urethane (I)), as well as a blocked urethane (hereinafter also referred to as blocked urethane (II)) which contains structural units derived from a polyol (A'-2) which does not contain a carbonate group and structural units derived from a polyisocyanate compound (B), and which contains at least one of a structural unit derived from polytetramethylene ether glycol and a structural unit derived from polypropylene glycol as the structural unit derived from the polyol (A'-2).

[0051] The blocked urethane (II) contains structural units derived from the polyol (A') and structural units derived from the polyisocyanate compound (B'), and the polyol (A') contains structural units derived from a polyol (A'-2) that does not contain a carbonate group. The conditions for the structural units derived from the polyol (A'-2) not containing a carbonate group in the description of the blocked urethane above can be applied to the same extent as possible. In other words, similar to the conditions for the structural units derived from the polyol (A-2) above, the structural units derived from the polyol (A'-2) may contain structural units other than the structural units derived from polytetramethylene ether glycol and the structural units derived from polypropylene glycol. Furthermore, the conditions for the polyisocyanate compound (B') in the above description of the blocked urethane can be similarly applied to the polyisocyanate compound (B') to the extent that they are applicable.

[0052] The blocked urethane (II) may contain a structural unit derived from a polyol other than the polyol (A'-2) as a structural unit derived from the polyol (A'). The structural unit derived from a polyol other than the polyol (A'-2) is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoints of storage stability and low-temperature impact strength when formed into an adhesive, a structural unit derived from a polyether polycarbonate diol (A'-1) represented by the following formula (2) is preferred.

[0053] [ka]

[0054] R in the above formula (2) 2 , n 2 , and m 2 The condition is expressed by R in the above formula (1). 1 , n 1 , and m 1 can be similarly applied to each of the above conditions. Furthermore, the conditions for the polyether polycarbonate diol (A'-1) represented by the above formula (2) can be the same as those for the polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1) represented by the above formula (1) to the extent that they are applicable.

[0055] When the blocked urethane (I) contains at least one of a structural unit derived from polytetramethylene ether glycol and a structural unit derived from polypropylene glycol, or when the blocked urethane (II) contains a structural unit derived from the polyether polycarbonate diol (A'-1) represented by the above formula (2), the blocked urethane (I) and the blocked urethane (II) become substantially indistinguishable. In other words, in this case, the blocked urethane composition essentially contains two types of blocked urethane (I), but because one blocked urethane satisfies the conditions of the blocked urethane (I) and the other blocked urethane satisfies the conditions of the blocked urethane (II), the above conditions of the blocked urethane composition are treated as being satisfied.

[0056] The blocked urethane composition may contain components other than the blocked urethane (I) and the blocked urethane (II) as long as the effects of the present invention are obtained.

[0057] When blocked urethane (I) and blocked urethane (II) can be distinguished, the content of blocked urethane (I) in the blocked urethane composition is preferably 5% by mass or more, more preferably 7% by mass or more, even more preferably 8% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 9% by mass or more, and is preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 44% by mass or less, even more preferably 42% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 40% by mass or less. When the content is at least the lower limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved. On the other hand, when the content is at most the upper limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved, and a decrease in heat resistance can be suppressed.

[0058] When blocked urethane (I) and blocked urethane (II) can be distinguished, the content of blocked urethane (II) in the blocked urethane composition is preferably 5% by mass or more, more preferably 7% by mass or more, even more preferably 8% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 9% by mass or more, and is preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 44% by mass or less, even more preferably 42% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 40% by mass or less. When the content is at least the lower limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved. On the other hand, when the content is at most the upper limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved, and a decrease in heat resistance can be suppressed.

[0059] When the blocked urethane (I) and the blocked urethane (II) cannot be distinguished from each other, the total content of the blocked urethane (I) and the blocked urethane (II) in the blocked urethane composition is preferably 5% by mass or more, more preferably 7% by mass or more, even more preferably 8% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 9% by mass or more, and is preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 44% by mass or less, even more preferably 42% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 40% by mass or less. When the content is at least the lower limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved. When the content is at most the upper limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved, and a decrease in heat resistance can be suppressed.

[0060] In the blocked urethane composition, the mass ratio of the blocked urethane (I) to the blocked urethane (II) is preferably in the range of 1:9 to 9:1, and more preferably 2:8 to 3:1. It is more preferable that the ratio is 8:2. By setting the ratio within the above range, the effect of improving the toughness can be obtained. Furthermore, the blocked urethane composition may contain other components as needed.

[0061] The total carbonate equivalent of all polyols contained in the entire blocked urethane in the blocked urethane composition (hereinafter also referred to as the "total carbonate equivalent of the blocked urethane composition") is not particularly limited, but is preferably 300 g / eq or more, more preferably 500 g / eq or more, even more preferably 800 g / eq or more, and particularly preferably 1000 g / eq or more, and is preferably 10000 g / eq or less, more preferably 5000 g / eq or less, even more preferably 4000 g / eq or less, and particularly preferably 3000 g / eq or less. If the total carbonate equivalent is at least the lower limit of the above range, the low-temperature impact strength of the resulting adhesive is further improved. Furthermore, if the total carbonate equivalent is at most the upper limit of the above range, the storage stability is excellent.

[0062] When a blocked urethane composition contains one or more blocked urethanes, and the entire blocked urethane contains y types of structural units derived from polyols (polyol 1, polyol 2, ..., polyol y) (y is an integer of 1 or greater), the total carbonate equivalent of the blocked urethane composition is represented by the following formula: For example, if a blocked urethane composition contains two types of blocked urethanes, A and B, where blocked urethane A has structural unit 1 derived from a polyol and blocked urethane B has structural unit 2 derived from a polyol, the total carbonate equivalent of the blocked urethane composition is calculated taking into account polyol-derived structural unit 1 and polyol-derived structural unit 2. For example, if a blocked urethane composition contains two types of blocked urethanes, A and B, where blocked urethane A has structural unit 1 derived from a polyol and structural unit 2 derived from a polyol, and blocked urethane B has structural unit 3 derived from a polyol, the total carbonate equivalent of the blocked urethane composition is calculated taking into account polyol-derived structural unit 1, polyol-derived structural unit 2, and polyol-derived structural unit 3. In the formula, "parts by mass" represents the parts by mass of the polyol component contained in the blocked urethane (the parts by mass of the structural units derived from the polyol), and means the parts by mass relative to the mass of the entire blocked urethane (when multiple types of blocked urethanes are contained, the total mass of these multiple types of blocked urethanes). Total carbonate equivalent of blocked urethane composition (g / eq)=(parts by mass of polyol 1+parts by mass of polyol 2+···+parts by mass of polyol y) / {(parts by mass of polyol 1 / carbonate equivalent of polyol 1)+(parts by mass of polyol 2 / carbonate equivalent of polyol 2)+···+(parts by mass of polyol y / carbonate equivalent of polyol y)} In addition, in the case of polyol k having a carbonate equivalent of 0 g / eq, (parts by mass of polyol k / carbonate equivalent of polyol k) is set to 0 g / eq.

[0063] The method for producing the blocked urethane (II) is not particularly limited, and it can be produced, for example, by a method including the same steps as in the above-mentioned method for producing the blocked urethane (I).

These curing agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more. As the curing agent, dicyandiamide is preferred from the viewpoint of ensuring the pot life of the resin composition.

[0084] [Modifier] The resin composition may contain a modifier other than the blocked urethane according to the embodiment described above in order to improve the adhesiveness and toughness when used as an adhesive. Examples of modifiers include rubber-modified epoxy resins, urethane-modified epoxy resins, and rubber particles. When these modifiers are used, they may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0085] The resin composition is at least one of a rubber-modified epoxy resin and a urethane-modified epoxy resin (F). By using at least one of the rubber-modified epoxy resin and the urethane-modified epoxy resin in combination with the above-mentioned blocked urethane, the toughness-improving effect of the resulting resin composition can be improved.

[0086] (rubber-modified epoxy resin) The rubber-modified epoxy resin is a reaction product obtained by reacting rubber with an epoxy group-containing compound, and has an average of 1.1 or more, preferably 2 or more, epoxy groups per molecule. Examples of the rubber include polybutadiene, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and carboxyl-terminated NBR (CTBN). From the viewpoint of the toughness-improving effect of the resulting resin composition, the rubber-modified epoxy resin is preferably a carboxy-terminated butadiene-nitrile copolymer epoxy resin or an acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer-modified epoxy resin. The rubber-modified epoxy resins may be used either alone or in combination of two or more.

For example, a urethane-modified epoxy resin can be obtained by reacting a hydroxyl-containing epoxy compound with a urethane prepolymer. The urethane-modified epoxy resins can be used either alone or in combination of two or more.

[0090] There are no particular limitations on the method for producing the urethane-modified epoxy resin. For example, it can be produced by reacting urethane with epoxy in a large amount of epoxy (e.g., epoxy resin). There are no particular limitations on the epoxy used in producing the urethane-modified epoxy resin. For example, conventionally known epoxy can be used.

[0093] (Polymer particles (G)) The resin composition preferably further contains polymer fine particles (G). By using the blocked urethane according to the embodiment described above and the polymer fine particles (G) in combination as a reinforcing agent in an epoxy resin, the toughness-improving effect of the resulting resin composition can be improved.

By setting the volume average particle diameter of the polymer fine particles within this range, there is an advantage that the toughness-improving effect is improved and a highly stable resin composition can be obtained.

[0095] In this specification, the "volume average particle diameter (Mv) of polymer microparticles (G)" refers to the volume average particle diameter of primary particles of polymer microparticles (G) unless otherwise specified. The volume average particle diameter (Mv) of polymer microparticles (G) can be measured using a dynamic light scattering particle size distribution analyzer (e.g., Microtrac UPA150 (manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.)) using an aqueous latex containing polymer microparticles (G) as a sample. Alternatively, the volume average particle diameter of polymer microparticles (G) can be measured by cutting a cured product of a curable resin composition, photographing the cut surface using an electron microscope or the like, and using the obtained photographed data (photographed image).

[0096] The polymer fine particles (G) are preferably dispersed, but do not necessarily have to be dispersed.

[0097] In order to balance the ease of handling of the resulting resin composition and the toughness improving effect, the content of the polymer fine particles (G) is preferably 1 to 80 parts by mass, more preferably 5 to 50 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 10 to 40 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the epoxy resin.

[0098] The polymer particles (G) preferably contain a rubber-containing graft copolymer, where the rubber-containing graft copolymer refers to one having an elastomer and a graft portion graft-bonded to the elastomer.

[0119] [Storage stability] The blocked urethanes of Examples 1 to 8, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and Production Example 3 were stored at 23° C. for 7 days, and the presence or absence of crystal precipitation was visually confirmed.

[0120] [Method for measuring molecular weight] The molecular weight of the blocked urethane was measured using a gel permeation chromatograph (GPC device) (HLC-8420GPC, manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) to measure the weight average molecular weight Mw in terms of polystyrene. The measurement conditions were as follows: Column: Tosoh Corporation's "TSKgel superHZM-H" + "TSKgel superHZ4000" x 2 + "TSKgel super3000" + "TSKgel Super 2000" Eluent: tetrahydrofuran ·Flow rate: 0.5mL / min Detection: RI ·Temperature: 40℃ Sample concentration: 0.4% by mass Injection volume: 10 μL Weight average molecular weight Mw of blocked urethane: Calculated from the peak at elution time 0-28 min

[0121] [Wedge impact test JIS K6865] The resin compositions obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were applied to a 0.8 mm thick bent steel plate (JIS G3141, SPCC-SD, Engineering Test Services Co., Ltd.) coated with rust-preventive oil (P-5960, Nippon Kogyo Oil Co., Ltd.). The bent steel plate coated with rust-preventive oil was then bonded to the coated steel plate and cured by heating at 170°C for 20 minutes. After curing, any excess cured material was removed from the steel plate to obtain symmetrical wedge test specimens. Using a Hydroshot HITS-T10 high-speed tensile tester (Shimadzu Corporation, 10 kN load cell), the symmetrical wedge test specimens were driven into the test pieces at -40°C and 2 m / s, and the dynamic cleavage resistance was measured during the cleavage of a 20 mm wide, 30 mm long cured epoxy resin specimen. The average dynamic cleavage resistance values ​​for the first 25% and last 10% of the travel distance were used to determine the low-temperature impact strength. Higher low-temperature impact strength indicates better performance.

[0122] <Production of polyol> [Polyol (A-1a)] A 0.5 L separable flask was charged with 204 parts by weight of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG1000 (number average molecular weight 1000) manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), 21.9 parts by weight of diphenyl carbonate (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), and 0.14 parts by weight of tetraammonium butyl chloride (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and 0.63 parts by weight of dibutyltin laurate (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) as catalysts, and heated to 80 ° C. When the diphenyl carbonate was melted, the pressure in the system was reduced to 10 kPa, the dissolved water was distilled off, and the pressure was returned to normal pressure. 0.34 parts by weight of tetra-n-butoxytitanium (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was added, and the temperature was raised to 150 ° C. while stirring under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. After heating and stirring at 150 ° C. for 30 minutes, the pressure was gradually reduced to 1.5 kPa over 170 minutes, and the carbonate reaction was carried out while phenol was removed from the system. The mixture was further heated and stirred for 220 minutes while maintaining the reduced pressure of 1.5 kPa, to obtain polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1a) having a hydroxyl value of 59.91 mgKOH / g.

[0123] <Production of polyol> [Polyol (A-1d)] A 0.5 L separable flask was charged with 230 parts by weight of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG650 (number average molecular weight 650) manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), 38.2 parts by weight of diphenyl carbonate (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), and 0.24 parts by weight of tetraammonium butyl chloride (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and 1.10 parts by weight of dibutyltin laurate (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) as catalysts, and heated to 80 ° C. When the diphenyl carbonate was melted, the pressure in the system was reduced to 10 kPa, the dissolved water was distilled off, and the pressure was returned to normal pressure. Then, 0.60 parts by weight of tetra-n-butoxytitanium (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was added, and the temperature was raised to 150 ° C. while stirring under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. After heating and stirring at 150 ° C. for 20 minutes, the pressure was gradually reduced to 2.0 kPa over 160 minutes, and the carbonate reaction was carried out while phenol was removed from the system. The mixture was further heated and stirred for 210 minutes while maintaining the reduced pressure of 2.0 kPa, to obtain a polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1d) having a hydroxyl value of 85.50 mgKOH / g.

[0124] <Production of blocked urethane> [Example 1] 88 parts by mass of polyether polycarbonate diol (A-1a) and 24 parts by mass of isophorone diisocyanate (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) (B-1) were placed in a 0.5 L separable flask and heated to 60°C under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. Next, 0.0088 parts by mass (100 ppm by mass relative to the polyether polycarbonate diol) of Neostan U-830 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "U-830"; manufactured by Nitto Kasei Co., Ltd.) was added as a urethanization catalyst to the separable flask. After the heat generation subsided, the temperature was raised to 80°C and the mixture was stirred for approximately 2 hours. The isocyanate group concentration was analyzed, and it was confirmed that the theoretical amount of isocyanate groups had been consumed. Next, 18 parts by mass of pt-butylphenol (manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) (C-1) was added to the separable flask, and the temperature was raised to 90°C. After that, the reaction was carried out with stirring until the peak derived from the isocyanate group disappeared in the IR spectrum, thereby obtaining blocked urethane No. (1).

[0125] [Examples 2 to 8, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, Production Example 3] Blocked urethanes were produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the polyol (A), polyisocyanate compound (B-1), and blocking agent (C-1) were changed to the raw materials and amounts shown in Table 1, thereby obtaining blocked urethanes Nos. (2) to (11).

[0126] For Comparative Example 2 in Table 1, the low-temperature impact strength when used as an adhesive was low, so the weight-average molecular weight Mw was not measured.

[0127] [Table 1]

[0128] [Example 9] A resin composition was obtained by mixing 2 parts by mass of the blocked urethane No. (1) produced in Production Example 1, 3 parts by mass of epoxy resin (E-1), 0.61 parts by mass of curing agent (F-1), 5 parts by mass of polymer fine particles (G-1) (2 parts by mass of polymer fine particles, 3 parts by mass of bisphenol A type epoxy resin), 0.15 parts by mass of curing accelerator (DCMU), and 0.05 parts by mass of spacer (glass beads J-60).

[0129] [Examples 10 to 19, Comparative Examples 3 to 4] A resin composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 9, except that in Example 1, the blocked urethane, epoxy resin (E), curing agent (F), polymer fine particles (G), curing accelerator, and glass beads were changed to the raw materials and amounts shown in Table 2-1.

[0130] The impact strength was evaluated by the above-mentioned wedge impact test for the resin compositions obtained in Examples 9 to 19 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2-2.

[0131] In Table 2-2, the total carbonate equivalent weight in the blocked urethane polyol was calculated as follows. In the case of Example 13, the carbonate equivalent (g / eq) of polyol (A) = (parts by mass of polyol A-1a + parts by mass of polyol A-1c) / {(parts by mass of polyol A-1a / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1a) + (parts by mass of polyol A-1c / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1c)} = (0.68 + 0.72) / {(0.68 / 1870) +(0.72 / 330)}=550 In the case of Example 15, the carbonate equivalent (g / eq) of polyol (A) = (parts by mass of polyol A-1a + part by mass of polyol A-1e) / {(parts by mass of polyol A-1a / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1a) + (parts by mass of polyol A-1e / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1e)} = (0.68 + 0.56) / {(0.68 / 1870) +(0.56 / 400)}=700 In Example 16, as described above, when polyol k has a carbonate equivalent of 0 g / eq, (parts by mass of polyol k / carbonate equivalent of polyol k) is 0 g / eq. Here, since the carbonate equivalent of Polyol A-2a in (parts by mass of Polyol A-2a / carbonate equivalent of Polyol A-2a) is 0 g / eq, Carbonate equivalent (g / eq) of polyol (A) = (parts by mass of polyol A-1b + part by mass of polyol A-2a) / {(parts by mass of polyol A-1b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1b) + (parts by mass of polyol A-2a / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-2a)} = (parts by mass of polyol A-1b + part by mass of polyol A-2a) / (parts by mass of polyol A-1b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1b) = (0.73 + 0.70) / (0.73 / 1000) = 1970

[0132] In the case of Example 17, as described above, when the polyol has a carbonate equivalent of 0 g / eq, (parts by mass of polyol n / carbonate equivalent of polyol n) is 0 g / eq. Here, since the carbonate equivalent of Polyol A-2a in (parts by mass of Polyol A-2a / carbonate equivalent of Polyol A-2a) is 0 g / eq, Carbonate equivalent (g / eq) of polyol (A) = (parts by mass of polyol A-1b + part by mass of polyol A-2a) / {(parts by mass of polyol A-1b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1b) + (parts by mass of polyol A-2a / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-2a)} = (parts by mass of polyol A-1b + part by mass of polyol A-2a) / (parts by mass of polyol A-1b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1b) = (0.72 + 0.72) / (0.72 / 1000) = 2000 In Example 18, as described above, polyol k having a carbonate equivalent of 0 g / eq was used. In this case, (parts by mass of polyol k / carbonate equivalent of polyol k) is 0 g / eq. Here, since the carbonate equivalent of polyol A-2b in (parts by mass of polyol A-2b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-2b) is 0 g / eq, Carbonate equivalent (g / eq) of polyol (A) = (parts by mass of polyol A-1b + part by mass of polyol A-2b) / {(parts by mass of polyol A-1b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1b) + (parts by mass of polyol A-2b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-2b)} = (parts by mass of polyol A-1b + part by mass of polyol A-2b) / (parts by mass of polyol A-1b / carbonate equivalent of polyol A-1b) = (0.72 + 0.72) / (0.72 / 1000) = 2000
