Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminate and a partition wall member. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Corrugated cardboard has been used as a building material in the past because of its light weight and ease of processing.

[0003] Patent Document 1 proposes a mounting structure for mounting an interior board to a construction surface, in which the interior board is mounted to the construction surface via corrugated cardboard. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-194832 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the corrugated cardboard used in the mounting structure of the inner layer board in Patent Document 1 is not fireproofed, and there is a problem in that the corrugated cardboard may burn in the event of a fire, causing the fire to spread.

[0006] One approach to preventing or mitigating the spread of fire caused by burning cardboard is to laminate metal foil onto the surface of the cardboard. However, this creates another problem: the heat from the fire will heat the metal foil, which will then heat the cardboard, causing it to reach its ignition point and begin to burn.

[0007] It is also possible to form a non-combustible or flame-retardant layer containing a synthetic resin on the surface of the cardboard, but this may cause problems such as stress applied during use or transportation causing the non-combustible or flame-retardant layer to deform, causing cracks in the non-combustible or flame-retardant layer, which may then allow flames to reach the cardboard through the cracks and cause it to start burning.

[0008] When corrugated cardboard is heated, it becomes wavy. When heated by the heat of a fire, the cardboard becomes wavy, and the metal foil, non-combustible layer, and flame-retardant layer cannot follow the wavy shape of the cardboard and peel off from the cardboard. This can allow flames to reach the cardboard through the peeled-off parts, causing the cardboard to start burning.

[0009] In order to prevent cracks from occurring in the non-combustible layer or the flame-retardant layer and thereby reduce fire resistance, it is conceivable to increase its thickness, but this would exacerbate the problem that when the cardboard corrugates due to the heat of a fire, the non-combustible layer or the flame-retardant layer cannot adapt to this corrugation phenomenon.

[0010] Conversely, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the non-combustible or flame-retardant layer, but reducing the thickness of the non-combustible or flame-retardant layer will result in a problem of reduced fire resistance of the non-combustible or flame-retardant layer.

[0011] As described above, the ability of the non-combustible or flame-retardant layer to conform to deformation of the corrugated board and fire resistance are contradictory and difficult to achieve at the same time, and a technology that can achieve both of these properties is desired.

[0012] The present invention provides a laminate that has extensibility (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "extensibility") that generally prevents cracking or peeling from the paper substrate, even when stress is applied during use or transportation or when the cardboard becomes wavy due to heating, and that has excellent fire resistance (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "fire resistance") that can prevent the heat of a fire from producing a residue layer, heating the paper substrate to its ignition point, and causing combustion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] The laminate of the present invention is A paper substrate; The paper substrate is characterized by having a fire-resistant layer laminated integrally on at least one surface of the paper substrate and containing 100 parts by mass of a resin binder and 6 to 200 parts by mass of glass frit.

[0014] The partition wall member of the present invention includes the above laminate. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The laminate of the present invention has a fire-resistant layer containing a resin binder and glass frit in a predetermined ratio on at least one surface of a paper substrate, and therefore has excellent elongation and fire resistance. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] [Figure 1] 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a laminate of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of the laminate of the present invention.

[0021] The paper substrate has a basis weight of 100 g / m 2 More than 110g / m 2 More preferably, 120 g / m 2 More preferably, 130 g / m 2 More preferably, 150 g / m 2 More preferably, 200 g / m 2 More preferably, 2500g / m 2 More preferably, the weight of the paper substrate is 5000 g / m 2 Preferably less than 4000 g / m2 Preferably less than 3500 g / m 2 Preferably less than 3000 g / m 2 Less than 2800 g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 2500g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 2000g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 1500g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 1000g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 800g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 600 g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 500g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 450 g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 400 g / m is more preferable. 2 More preferably, the paper substrate has a basis weight of 100 g / m or less. 2 When the weight per unit area of ​​the paper substrate is 500 g / m or more, delamination between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate is prevented, and flames in the event of a fire are prevented from unexpectedly reaching the paper substrate, thereby improving the fire resistance of the laminate. 2 When the weight per unit area of ​​the paper substrate is less than 100%, the lightness and processability of the laminate can be improved. The weight per unit area of ​​the paper substrate is a value measured in accordance with JIS P8124 "Paper and paperboard - Method for measuring basis weight".

[0022] The density of the paper substrate is 0.5 g / m 3 More than 0.55g / m 3 More preferably, 0.6 g / m or more 3 More preferably, 0.8 g / m or more 3 The density of the paper substrate is preferably 1.2 g / m or more. 3 Less than 1.0 g / m is preferred 3 More preferably, the density of the paper substrate is 0.5 g / m or less. 3 When the density of the paper substrate is 1.2 g / m or more, delamination between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate is prevented, and flames in the event of a fire are prevented from unexpectedly reaching the paper substrate, thereby improving the fire resistance of the laminate. 3When the density is less than 1 / 2, the lightweight and processability of the laminate can be improved. The density of the paper substrate is a value calculated from the thickness and basis weight of the paper substrate. The thickness of the paper substrate is a value measured in accordance with JIS P8118:2014 Paper and paperboard - Test methods for thickness, density and specific volume.

[0023] The bending strength of the paper substrate is 0.0001N / mm 2 More than 0.0002N / mm is preferable. 2 More preferably, 0.0003N / mm 2 The bending strength of the paper substrate is more preferably 0.1000 N / mm 2 Preferably less than 0.0500N / mm 2 The following is more preferable. When the bending strength of the paper substrate is within the above range, stress applied to the laminate A during use or transportation of the laminate A before a fire occurs can be smoothly absorbed, and the laminated state between the fireresistant layer and the paper substrate can be stably maintained without causing cracks in the fireresistant layer. Furthermore, in the event of a fire, stress applied to the laminate by heating can also be smoothly absorbed, and the laminated state between the fireresistant layer and the paper substrate can be stably maintained, which can generally prevent flames from penetrating between the fireresistant layer and the paper substrate, causing the paper substrate to burn and spread the fire. The bending strength of the paper substrate refers to a value measured in accordance with JIS K7171.

[0024] The paper substrate may contain 60% by mass or more of a pulp component, and examples thereof include cardboard base paper (liner, corrugating medium (core) base paper), paperboard such as white cardboard, yellow cardboard, colored cardboard, and building paper, and corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is preferred as a paper substrate because of its light weight, ease of processing, and mechanical strength. Corrugated cardboard includes a core base paper bent into a corrugated cross section and a liner bonded to at least one surface of the core base paper to form an integrated unit.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, the corrugated board 1 may be a double-sided corrugated board formed by laminating liners 3, 3 on both sides of a corrugated core 2 bent in a cross-sectionally corrugated shape. As shown in FIG. 2, the corrugated board 1 may be a double-sided corrugated board formed by laminating multiple corrugated core 2, 2... and multiple liners 3, 3... alternately, with the liners 3, 3 forming the outermost layer. In the corrugated boards shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outermost layer may be formed by a corrugated core 2 bent in a cross-sectionally corrugated shape without laminating a liner on either side. While FIG. 2 shows a corrugated board 1 formed by alternating two corrugated core 2 and three liners 3, with the liners 3 forming the outermost layer, the corrugated board 1 may also be formed by alternating n corrugated core 2 and (n+1) liners 3, with the liners 3 forming the outermost layer. Note that n is a natural number.

[0026] The weight of the cardboard is 100g / m 2 More than 120g / m 2 More preferably, 140 g / m 2 More preferably, 160 g / m 2 More preferably, 200 g / m 2 More preferably, 250 g / m 2 More preferably, 300 g / m 2 More preferably, the weight of the corrugated board is 5000 g / m 2 Preferably less than 4000 g / m 2 Preferably less than 3500 g / m 2 Preferably less than 3000 g / m 2 Less than 2800 g / m is more preferable. 2 Less than 2500g / m is more preferable. 2 The weight of the cardboard is preferably 100 g / m or less. 2 When the weight of the corrugated board is 5000 g / m or more, delamination between the fire-resistant layer and the corrugated board is prevented, and flames in the event of a fire are prevented from unexpectedly reaching the paper substrate, thereby improving the fire resistance of the laminate. 2 When the thickness is not more than 100 μm, the lightweight property and processability of the laminate can be improved.

[0027] [Glass frit] A fire-resistant layer is integrally laminated on at least one surface (preferably both surfaces) of the paper substrate, and the fire-resistant layer contains glass frit and a resin binder.

[0028] Examples of glasses constituting the glass frit include phosphate glass, borate glass, bismuth oxide glass, silicate glass, and sodium oxide glass. Phosphate glass and borate glass are preferred, and phosphate glass is more preferred. These glass frits can be obtained by adjusting the composition ratios of B2O3, P2O5, ZnO, SiO2, Bi2O3, Al2O3, BaO, CaO, MgO, MnO2, ZrO2, TiO2, CeO2, SrO, VO5, SnO2, Li2O, Na2O, KO, CuO, and Fe2O3.

When the content of glass frit is 6 parts by mass or more, the fire resistance of the residue layer is improved, and it is possible to more effectively prevent the paper substrate from reaching its ignition point and ignition. When the content of glass frit is 200 parts by mass or less, the extensibility of the fire-resistant layer is improved, and even when the fire-resistant layer is deformed due to stress applied during use or transportation, or when the cardboard is wavy due to heating, it is possible to prevent the fire-resistant layer from cracking or peeling from the paper substrate, and it is possible to maintain excellent fire resistance.

[0031] [Resin binder] The fire-resistant layer of the laminate contains a resin binder in addition to the glass frit described above. The resin binder has adhesive properties that allow the fire-resistant layer to be laminated and integrated onto the paper substrate under normal conditions, and in the early stages of combustion of the fire-resistant layer, it acts to bond the glass frits together while maintaining the state in which the fire-resistant layer is laminated onto the paper substrate, thereby forming a residue layer having excellent fire resistance laminated onto the paper substrate.

[0032] The resin binder is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include synthetic resins such as thermoplastic resins and curable resins, elastomers, rubbers, etc. The resin binders may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Examples of the curable resin include thermosetting resins, moisture-curing resins, and photo-crosslinkable curable resins. The curable resin constituting the fire-resistant layer is usually a cured resin, but may be one that hardens over time during use. The curable resin may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0038] Examples of the thermosetting resin include urethane resin, isocyanurate resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, urea resin, unsaturated polyester resin, alkyd resin, melamine resin, diallyl phthalate resin, etc., and epoxy resin is preferred.

The moisture-curable resin may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0040] In the presence of water, the hydrolyzable groups of the hydrolyzable silyl groups in the polymers are hydrolyzed to form silanol groups (≡SiOH). The silanol groups then undergo dehydration condensation to form crosslinked structures. In the presence of water, the hydrolyzable isocyanate groups in the polymers form urea bonds (-NHCONH-) while generating carbon dioxide, forming crosslinked structures.

[0041] The hydrolyzable silyl group is a group formed by bonding 1 to 3 hydrolyzable groups to a silicon atom.

[0046] The polyalkylene oxide having a hydrolyzable silyl group preferably has an average of 1 to 4 hydrolyzable silyl groups per molecule. When the number of hydrolyzable silyl groups in the polyalkylene oxide having a hydrolyzable silyl group is within the above range, the fire resistance of the fire-resistant layer is improved. The polyalkylene oxide having a hydrolyzable silyl group preferably has a hydrolyzable silyl group at at least one of both ends of its main chain.

[0047] The average number of hydrolyzable silyl groups per molecule in the polyalkylene oxide having hydrolyzable silyl groups is 1 It can be calculated based on the concentration of hydrolyzable silyl groups in the polyalkylene oxide determined by H-NMR and the number average molecular weight of the polyalkylene oxide determined by GPC.

[0048] The polyalkylene oxide constituting the polyalkylene oxide having a hydrolyzable silyl group is a polyalkylene oxide having a main chain represented by the general formula: -(RO) m - (wherein R represents an alkylene group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms, and m represents the number of repeating units and is a positive integer.) The main chain skeleton of the polyalkylene oxide may be composed of only one type of repeating unit, or may be composed of two or more types of repeating units.

[0049] In the present invention, an alkylene group is a divalent atomic group formed by removing two hydrogen atoms bonded to two different carbon atoms in an aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon, and includes both linear and branched atomic groups.

[0050] Examples of the alkylene group include an ethylene group, a propylene group [-CH(CH3)-CH2-], a trimethylene group [-CH2-CH2-CH2-], a butylene group, an amylene group [-(CH2)5-], and a hexylene group.

[0051] Examples of the main chain skeleton of the polyalkylene oxide include polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polybutylene oxide, polytetramethylene oxide, polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide copolymer, and polypropylene oxide-polybutylene oxide copolymer.

When the number average molecular weight of the polyalkylene oxide is 50,000 or less, the elongation of the fire-resistant layer is improved.

[0053] In the present invention, the number average molecular weight of the polyalkylene oxide having a hydrolyzable silyl group means a value calculated in terms of polystyrene measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography).

[0059] The method for introducing a hydrolyzable silyl group into an acrylic polymer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method in which an unsaturated group is introduced into a copolymer of monomers constituting the main chain skeleton, and then a hydrosilane having a hydrolyzable silyl group is allowed to act on the copolymer to hydrosilylate the copolymer.

[0080] The petroleum resin is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include C5 petroleum resin, C9 petroleum resin, C5C9 petroleum resin, dicyclopentadiene petroleum resin, etc. The petroleum resin is preferably unhydrogenated because it allows the fire-resistant layer to be more firmly laminated and integrated onto the paper substrate, but may be partially or completely hydrogenated.

When the content of the tackifier is 200 parts by mass or less, the elongation of the fire-resistant layer is improved.

[0086] The intumescent flame retardant is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include ammonium phosphate, ammonium polyphosphate, and aluminum phosphite. Ammonium polyphosphate and aluminum phosphite are preferred, as they further improve the fire resistance of the fire-resistant layer, and aluminum phosphite is more preferred.

[0088] The fire-resistant layer preferably contains glass frit and an intumescent flame retardant. By using the glass frit and the intumescent flame retardant in combination, the fire-resistant layer can be endowed with excellent elongation and fire resistance.

[0091] A fire-resistant composition is prepared by uniformly mixing a resin binder, glass frit, and optional additives in a known manner, and the fire-resistant composition is applied to a paper substrate in a known manner and then cured as necessary, thereby forming a fire-resistant layer on the paper substrate. The curing of the curable resin may be performed in a known manner depending on the type of curable resin (for example, by supplying moisture, irradiating with light such as ultraviolet light, or by heating).

[0092] The method for mixing the resin binder and the glass frit with the additives contained as necessary is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method in which the mixture is supplied to a mixing device such as a single-screw extruder or a twin-screw extruder and melt-kneaded.

[0093] [Laminate] The laminate A is constructed by integrally laminating fire-resistant layers C, C on at least one surface (preferably both surfaces) of a paper substrate B. In detail, as shown in Fig. 3, the fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A is integrally laminated over the entire surface of at least one surface of the paper substrate B. As shown in Fig. 4, the fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A is preferably integrally laminated over the entire surface of both surfaces of the paper substrate B.

[0094] When the paper substrate B is corrugated cardboard 1, fire-resistant layers C, C are laminated integrally onto the outer surfaces of both side components that make up the outermost layer of the corrugated cardboard 1. In the corrugated cardboard 1 shown in Figure 1, fire-resistant layers C, C are laminated integrally onto the outer surfaces of both side liners 3, 3. In the corrugated cardboard 1 shown in Figure 2, fire-resistant layers C, C are laminated integrally onto the outer surfaces of liners 3, 3 that make up the outermost layer of the laminate A. When the component that makes up the outermost layer of the corrugated cardboard is core raw paper that is bent into a corrugated cross section, the fire-resistant layer C is laminated integrally onto the outer surface of the core raw paper.

[0095] The fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A is composed of a resin binder and glass frit in a predetermined ratio, and has excellent elongation and fire resistance.

[0096] Since the fire-resistant layer C has excellent elongation, even if the laminate A is deformed due to stress applied thereto during use or transportation of the laminate A, the fire-resistant layer C smoothly follows the deformation of the laminate A, reducing the occurrence of damage such as cracks in the fire-resistant layer C.

[0097] Therefore, in the event of a fire, it is possible to generally prevent flames from reaching the paper substrate through cracks in the fire-resistant layer C, and the spread of fire can be effectively prevented.

[0098] As the paper substrate B is heated, it often deforms into a wavy cross-section. However, even in such cases, the fire-resistant layer C has excellent extensibility, so it does not peel off from the paper substrate and remains laminated and integrated onto the surface of the paper substrate, thereby generally preventing flames from penetrating between the fire-resistant layer C and the paper substrate B, causing the paper substrate to burn and spread the fire.

[0099] The fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A burns due to the heat of a fire and generates a non-combustible residue layer, but before combustion, it absorbs the heat generated during a fire, and the resin binder constituting the fire-resistant layer C acts to bind the glass frits together. In the generated residue layer, the glass frits are firmly bound together, preventing the paper substrate B from burning and effectively preventing the spread of fire.

[0100] As described above, the fire-resistant layer C has excellent heat absorption ability in the event of a fire, and therefore prevents the paper substrate B from heating up and reaching the ignition point, thereby effectively preventing the spread of fire due to the burning of the paper substrate B of the laminate A.

[0101] In the fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A, the glass frits bond together due to heat during a fire, and the resin binder burns, generating a non-combustible residue layer. Because the residue layer is thickened by the bonding of the glass frits, it prevents the paper substrate from being overheated and igniting, and effectively prevents the laminate A from burning and spreading.

[0102] The residue layer generated by the combustion of the fire-resistant layer C has glass frits firmly bonded together, and therefore can effectively block flames in the event of a fire and effectively prevent the fire from spreading.

[0103] Thus, the fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A has both excellent elongation and fire resistance. Therefore, due to its excellent elongation, the fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A can follow changes in the shape of the paper substrate and maintain a stable laminated and integrated state with the paper substrate without causing cracks, both before a fire, such as during use or transportation, and during a fire, and can smoothly absorb applied external forces to prevent damage such as cracks. Furthermore, in the event of a fire, the fire-resistant layer C of the laminate A can effectively block the flames and absorb the heat during a fire to prevent the paper substrate from igniting and the fire from spreading.

[0104] When the paper substrate B of laminate A is cardboard, and the liner to which the fire-resistant layer C is laminated is used as a No. 3 dumbbell test piece as specified in JIS K6250, the elongation when a tensile test is conducted in accordance with JIS K6251 at 50 mm / min in an atmosphere of 23°C and 50% relative humidity is preferably 50% or more, more preferably 60% or more, more preferably 65% ​​or more, more preferably 70% or more, and more preferably 75% or more. When the elongation is 50% or more, the fire-resistant layer of laminate A can follow changes in the shape of the paper substrate and maintain a stable laminated and integrated state without cracking, both before a fire during use or transportation, and during a fire, and can smoothly absorb applied external forces to prevent damage such as cracking. When the paper substrate B of the laminate A is cardboard, and the liner to which the fire-resistant layer C is laminated is used as a No. 3 dumbbell test piece as specified in JIS K6250, the elongation when subjected to a tensile test in accordance with JIS K6251 at 23°C and 50% relative humidity at 50 mm / min is preferably 600% or less, more preferably 500% or less, more preferably 450% or less, more preferably 400% or less, more preferably 350% or less, more preferably 300% or less, more preferably 250% or less, and more preferably 200% or less.

[0105] The bending strength of the liner of cardboard 1 is 0.0001N / mm 2 More than 0.0002N / mm is preferable. 2 More preferably, 0.0003N / mm 2 The bending strength of the liner of the cardboard 1 is preferably 0.1000 N / mm 2 Preferably less than 0.0500N / mm 2The following is more preferable. When the bending strength of the liner of the corrugated cardboard 1 is within the above range, stress applied to the laminate A can be smoothly absorbed during use or transportation of the laminate A before a fire occurs, and the laminated state between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate can be stably maintained without causing cracks in the fire-resistant layer. Furthermore, in the event of a fire, stress applied to the laminate by heating can also be smoothly absorbed, and the laminated state between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate can be stably maintained, which can generally prevent flames from penetrating between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate, causing the paper substrate to burn and spread the fire. The bending strength of the liner of the corrugated cardboard 1 refers to a value measured in accordance with JIS K7171.

[0106] When the paper substrate B of the laminate A is cardboard, the bending strength of the liner to which the fire-resistant layer C is laminated is 0.0001 N / mm 2 More than 0.0002N / mm is preferable. 2 More preferably, 0.0003N / mm 2 The bending strength of the liner of the cardboard 1 is preferably 0.1000 N / mm 2 Preferably less than 0.0500N / mm 2 The following is more preferable. When the bending strength of the liner onto which the fire-resistant layer C is laminated is within the above range, stress applied to the laminate A can be smoothly absorbed in a state before a fire occurs, such as during use or transportation of the laminate A, and the laminated state between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate can be stably maintained without causing cracks in the fire-resistant layer. Furthermore, in the event of a fire, stress applied to the laminate by heating can also be smoothly absorbed, and the laminated state between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate can be stably maintained, which can generally prevent flames from penetrating between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate, causing the paper substrate to burn and spread the fire. The bending strength of the liner onto which the fire-resistant layer C is laminated is a value measured in accordance with JIS K7171.

[0107] The corrugated cardboard 1 has a core raw paper 2 bent into a corrugated cross section disposed between adjacent liners 3, 3. In the event of a fire, the corrugated cardboard 1 heats up and stress is applied to the cardboard 1, but the corrugated core raw paper absorbs the stress by changing the degree of bending, allowing the laminated state of the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate to be stably maintained. This generally prevents flames from penetrating between the fire-resistant layer and the paper substrate, causing the paper substrate to burn and spread.

[0108] As described above, the laminate A has excellent elongation and fire resistance, and therefore can be suitably used as a building material, and in particular as a partition wall material for dividing spaces in a building.

[0109] The laminate A is constructed by laminating a fire-resistant layer onto at least one surface of a paper base material, and can be easily cut into the desired shape using general-purpose cutting means such as a cutter or knife, making it suitable for use in applications other than the above-mentioned building components.

[0122] The obtained fire-resistant composition was applied to one side of a liner to form a coating layer at the coating thickness shown in Table 1. The coating layer on the liner was left to stand for 7 days in an atmosphere at a temperature of 25°C and a relative humidity of 50%, crosslinking and curing the silicone resin having a hydrolyzable silyl group, and the fire-resistant layer was laminated and integrated onto one side of the liner to produce a laminate.

[0125] (growth rate) The laminate was cut into No. 3 dumbbell test pieces as specified in JIS K6250. These dumbbell test pieces were subjected to a tensile test at 50 mm / min in an atmosphere of 23°C and 50% relative humidity in accordance with JIS K6501 to measure the elongation percentage.

[0126] (bending strength) The bending strength of the liner and the liner with the fire-resistant layer laminated and integrated (the entire fire-resistant layer and liner) was measured in accordance with JIS K7171.

[0127] (Fire resistance 1) The fire resistance of the fire-resistant layer was evaluated as follows. The fire-resistant composition was applied to one side of a liner at a surface coating thickness of 1.5 mm to form a coating layer. The coating layer on the liner was left to stand for 24 hours in an atmosphere of 25°C and 50% relative humidity. When a silicone resin having a hydrolyzable silyl group was included, the silicone resin having a hydrolyzable silyl group was crosslinked and cured, and the fire-resistant layer was laminated and integrated onto one side of the liner to produce a laminate.

[0128] A gas burner was used as the fire source. The flame temperature of the gas burner was 1000°C ± 30°C. The gas burner was positioned so that its nozzle was 100 mm away from the surface of the fireproof layer in a direction perpendicular to the surface. The gas valve and air valve of the gas burner were adjusted so that the overall flame length of the gas burner was 80 mm and the height of the reducing flame (the distance between the gas burner and the laminate) was 40 mm, thereby keeping the flame size constant.

[0129] The fire-resistant layer of the laminate was heated with the flame of a gas burner for 20 minutes, but the test was terminated when the flame penetrated the fire-resistant layer of the test specimen in its thickness direction, even if the 20 minutes had not yet elapsed. A: No holes or cracks were formed in the fireproof layer of the test specimen, and the flame did not penetrate the fireproof layer. If B: Holes and / or cracks were formed in the fireproofing layer of the test specimen, allowing the flame to penetrate the fireproofing layer. If there

[0130] (Fire resistance 2) The fire-resistant layer of the laminate was heated with the flame of a gas burner in the same manner as in the measurement conditions for fire resistance 1 above, except that the height of the reducing flame (the distance between the gas burner and the laminate) was 35 mm, and the time until the fire-resistant layer was penetrated by the flame of the gas burner was measured.

[0131] (Adhesiveness) The fire resistance of the fire-resistant layer was evaluated as follows. The fire-resistant composition was applied to one side of a liner at a surface coating thickness of 1.5 mm to form a coating layer. The coating layer on the liner was left to stand for one week in an atmosphere of 25°C and 50% relative humidity. When a silicone resin having a hydrolyzable silyl group was included, the silicone resin having a hydrolyzable silyl group was crosslinked and cured, and the fire-resistant layer was laminated and integrated onto one side of the liner to produce a laminate.

[0132] (Volume expansion ratio) The fire-resistant composition prepared as described above was molded into a rectangular parallelepiped molded body measuring 100 mm long x 100 mm wide x 2.0 mm thick. The molded body was left to stand for 7 days in an atmosphere of 25°C and 50% relative humidity to crosslink and harden the silicone resin having hydrolyzable silyl groups, thereby preparing a test specimen.

[0133] The test piece was placed in an electric furnace and heated at 600°C for 30 minutes, after which the thickness of the test piece was measured. The volume expansion ratio was calculated based on the following formula: Volume expansion ratio (times) = thickness of test piece after heating / thickness of test piece before heating

[0134] (residual hardness) The heated test piece for which the volume expansion ratio was measured was fed into a compression tester (Kato Tech Co., Ltd., "Finger Feeling Tester") and compressed to 0.25 cm. 2 The specimen was compressed with an indenter at a speed of 0.1 cm / sec, and the stress at break was measured.

[0135] Examples 6 to 9 A corrugated board was prepared in which liners (pulp content: 99% by mass or more) having the basis weight, thickness, and bending strength shown in Table 2 and core base paper (pulp content: 99% by mass or more) bent and formed into a corrugated cross section were alternately laminated together, with the outermost layers of both being made of liners. The basis weight and thickness of the corrugated board are shown in Table 2. The thickness of the corrugated board refers to the thickness of the corrugated board in the layering direction of the core base paper and liner.

[0136] The number of liners and core raw papers that make up the cardboard is shown in Table 1. For example, a cardboard box with three liners and two core raw papers has the structure shown in Figure 2.

[0137] The fire-resistant composition prepared in Example 1 was used. The fire-resistant composition was applied to the outer surfaces of both liners, which would become the outermost layers of cardboard 1, to a thickness of 0.5 mm to form a coating layer. The coating layer on the liner was left to stand for 24 hours in an atmosphere of 25°C and 50% relative humidity to crosslink and harden the silicone resin having a hydrolyzable silyl group, and the fire-resistant layers were laminated and integrated onto the outer surfaces of both liners to prepare a laminate.

[0138] The resulting laminate was measured for fire resistance 1 and 2, and the results are shown in Table 2. Note that fire resistance 2 was measured for one of the fire-resistant layers in the laminate.

[0139] The outermost liner with the integrated fire-resistant layer was peeled off from the obtained laminate, and the liner with the integrated fire-resistant layer was cut into a No. 3 dumbbell test piece as specified in JIS K 6250. The dumbbell test piece was subjected to a tensile test at 50 mm / min in an atmosphere of 23°C and 50% relative humidity in accordance with JIS K 6251 to measure the elongation.

[0140] The outermost liner on which the fire-resistant layer was laminated was peeled off from the obtained laminate, and the bending strength of the liner on which the fire-resistant layer was laminated (the entire fire-resistant layer and liner) was measured in accordance with JIS K7172, and the results are shown in the "Bending strength (fire-resistant layer + liner)" column in Table 2.
