Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes, a cured product thereof, and a water pipe with an inner wall coating. [Background technology]
[0002] When water pipes such as distribution pipes and drainage pipes deteriorate over time after installation, deposits such as rust, limescale, and dust form inside the water pipes, which causes a change in the friction coefficient with respect to the fluid flowing through the water pipes, a decrease in the cross-sectional area of the water pipes, etc. This not only causes a loss of pressure or a decrease in the flow rate of the fluid flowing through the water pipes, but also causes red water, etc., which may result in a complete loss of the function of the water pipes. This creates a need to repair deteriorated areas in the water pipes themselves or in their joints, etc. However, repair work on water pipes that run through the common areas of apartment complexes or on water pipes in factories requires a great deal of labor, expense, time, etc. to stop and restore water and sewerage supplies, so there is a need for a simple method of repairing water pipes or a technology to suppress deterioration of water pipes over time.
[0003] Furthermore, water pipes buried underground require a great deal of labor and expense, as they require work such as discovering deteriorated sections, repairing the pipes by excavating them, or replacing them with new pipes, and backfilling the excavated areas. Furthermore, replacing pipes with new ones is extremely difficult on major roads, etc., as it would cause problems such as long-term traffic disruptions and construction noise.
[0004] For this reason, as a method for repairing existing pipes by effectively utilizing deteriorated existing pipes, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a technique in which a steel pipe with a smaller diameter than the hollow pipe is inserted into the hollow pipe, and then an inorganic-based compound emulsion is filled and solidified in the gap between the hollow pipe and the steel pipe. Also, Patent Document 2 proposes a lining construction technique in which the inner surface of a water pipe is coated with a lining composition. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-221292 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-119199 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] However, the technology of Patent Document 1 makes it difficult to insert a steel pipe into a bent water pipe, which makes it difficult to coat the entire inner wall of the water pipe with an inorganic-based compound emulsion according to the shape of the existing water pipe itself. Furthermore, the technology of Patent Document 2 makes it difficult to coat the entire inner wall of the water pipe with a lining layer formed by crosslinking the lining composition, which results in problems such as the lining layer peeling off and the peeled lining layer itself becoming new deposits inside the water pipe.
[0007] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes, which exhibits excellent curing properties inside the water pipes and, after curing, forms a water pipe with a coating layer that has excellent mechanical properties. Another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a cured product of a two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe, which shows excellent conformability to any shape of the water pipe and forms a water pipe having a coating layer with excellent mechanical properties, and a water pipe with an inner wall coating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021] The following describes in detail an embodiment of the present disclosure (hereinafter referred to as the "present embodiment"); however, the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the following description, and various modifications can be made within the scope of its gist.
[0022] In this specification, the term "water pipe" refers collectively to pipes through which fluids, including water, flow. This term includes distribution pipes, which deliver clean water from a reservoir or the like to homes; supply pipes, which branch off from homes and reach faucets; conveyance pipes, which transport water pumped from dams, rivers, lakes, or wells to water purification plants; water transmission pipes, which transport water to purified water reservoirs or distribution reservoirs; drainage pipes, which transport used water (sewage) to sewage treatment plants; and pipes that transport water to factories or other places where people are active. Among these, the use of two-component curing compositions for coating the inner walls of drainage pipes is particularly preferred.
[0023] This embodiment is a two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe, which cures upon contact between a main agent (A) and a curing agent (B) to coat the inner wall of a water pipe. The main component (A) contains a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, the reaction raw materials of which are an isocyanate compound and a first polyhydric alcohol compound, and has a viscosity at 25°C of 10 mPa·s or more and 500,000 mPa·s or less. The curing agent (B) contains an amine compound and a second polyhydric alcohol compound, and has a viscosity at 25°C of 100 mPa·s or more and 50,000 mPa·s or less. This results in the formation of a cured product that exhibits excellent curing properties inside the water pipe and functions as a coating layer with excellent mechanical properties after curing. Furthermore, since the main component (A) and the curing agent (B) contain the first polyhydric alcohol compound and the second polyhydric alcohol compound, which act as solvents, a cured product of any shape can be formed, and therefore the cured product exhibits excellent conformability to any shape of the water pipe.
[0024] The main component (A) contains a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, the reaction raw materials of which are an isocyanate compound and a first polyhydric alcohol compound, and the content of the urethane prepolymer is preferably 20% by mass to 100% by mass, and the content of the first polyhydric alcohol compound is preferably 0% by mass to 80% by mass, relative to the total amount of the main component (A) (100% by mass).

[0120] "Use of two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes" The two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe of this embodiment is a resin composition in the form of a two-component kit including a base agent (A) and a curing agent (B) that are separately prepared. The base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) can be a two-component kit for forming a polyurethane urea resin cured product. The base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) are blended (mixed) at the time of use and cured to produce a cured product. In the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe of this embodiment, when the main agent (A) (also simply referred to as (A) liquid) and the curing agent (B) (also simply referred to as (B) liquid) are brought into contact with each other to coat the inner wall of a water pipe with the cured product, the mixing ratio (mass ratio) of the main agent (A) to the curing agent (B) (main agent (A) / curing agent (B)) is preferably in the range of 80 / 20 to 20 / 80, more preferably in the range of 70 / 30 to 30 / 70, and even more preferably in the range of 60 / 40 to 40 / 60.
[0121] "Curing of two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes" In the two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes, when the main component (A) (also referred to simply as "liquid (A)") comes into contact with the curing agent (B) (also referred to simply as "liquid (B)"), the isocyanate groups of the prepolymer (made from an isocyanate compound and a first polyhydric alcohol in the main component (A) as reaction raw materials) and / or the isocyanate compound in the main component (A) undergo urea formation and urethanization reactions with the so-called active hydrogen groups of each amine compound in the curing agent (B). More specifically, upon initial contact between the (A) and (B) components, the active hydrogen groups and the isocyanate groups undergo urea formation reactions. Subsequently, as the amine compound reacts with moisture in the air or the second polyhydric alcohol, the active hydrogen groups in the amine compound gradually become apparent. This gradually leads to a cured product, whereby the active hydrogen groups and the isocyanate groups react with each other.
[0122] The curing temperature of the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) is, for example, 10°C to 40°C, preferably 20°C to 30°C. The curing time for the curing reaction between the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) is, for example, 10 minutes to 50 minutes, preferably 20 minutes to 40 minutes. The curing time refers to the time (pot life) from when the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) come into contact until the viscosity reaches 50,000 mPa·s / 25°C. As a result, the main agent (A) and the curing agent (B) come into contact with each other and harden, forming a coating layer that covers the inner wall of the water pipe, thereby coating the inner wall of the water pipe.
[0123] "Method of using a two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes" The method for coating and curing the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe according to this embodiment within the inner wall of a water pipe is not particularly limited, and known devices and methods can be used. Specifically, the method for coating and curing the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe according to this embodiment includes the steps of mixing a base agent (A) and a curing agent (B), an optional cleaning step, applying a mixture of the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) to the inner wall of the water pipe, and an optional drying step. Alternatively, the mixing step and the application step may be performed in the same step, i.e., the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) may be mixed and then applied to the inner wall of the water pipe. Alternatively, the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) may be mixed to prepare a mixture, and then the mixture may be applied to the inner wall of the water pipe.
[0124] An example of how the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe is coated on the inside of the water pipe and cured will be described below. <Mixing process> The mixing step may be a step of measuring the main agent (A) and the curing agent (B) using a scale, adding them to the same container at a mixing ratio (main agent (A) / curing agent (B) (mass ratio)) of 80 / 20 to 20 / 80, and mixing them with a stirrer (for example, an electric stirrer) to prepare a mixed liquid of the main agent (A) and the curing agent (B).
[0125] Another embodiment of the mixing step includes a step of pressure-feeding the main agent (A) and the curing agent (B) into two hoses using a pressure-feeding means such as a gear pump or a plunger pump at a mixing ratio of the main agent (A) to the curing agent (B) (mass ratio) of 80 / 20 to 20 / 80, and connecting a static mixer such as a static mixer to the tip of each of the two hoses to mix the main agent (A) and the curing agent (B) to prepare a mixed liquid.
[0126] Furthermore, another embodiment of the mixing step includes a step in which a main component (A) and a curing agent (B) are pressure-fed into two hoses using a pressure-fed means such as a gear pump or a plunger pump at a mixing ratio of the main component (A) to the curing agent (B) (mass ratio) of 80 / 20 to 20 / 80, and two-component mixing injector nozzles connected to the respective ends of the two hoses and an air hose connected to the two-component mixing injector nozzles are used to feed the main component (A), the curing agent (B) and compressed air (for example, 0.1 MPa to 0.5 MPa) into the two-component mixing injector nozzles, and then sprayed from the injector nozzles to mix them by a collision reaction.
[0127] <Cleaning process> Next, if necessary, the inner surface of the water pipe to be coated with the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe may be cleaned to prepare the surface. Specifically, a cleaning process may be performed in which a known suction device is connected to the lower side of the water pipe to be coated and operated to circulate air through the water pipe at high speed, and an abrasive (e.g., natural stone, silica sand, ceramic powder) is introduced from the upper side of the water pipe. This process generates a high-speed airflow (e.g., air velocity of 20 to 40 msec) due to the suction force of the suction device, causing the abrasive to flow from the upper side to the lower side of the water pipe, thereby polishing the inner surface of the water pipe. Note that the removed deposits, rust, iron powder, or abrasive may be collected in the suction device. Furthermore, fine impurities remaining in the water pipe after polishing may be washed away by running water from the upper side and sucking it down. If necessary, the water pipe may then be dried by suction or air-dried. The cleaning process is not limited to the polishing method described above, and may employ a rotary polishing jig, polishing with a rotary chain, or a pressurized method such as high-pressure washing.
[0128] <Coating process> If necessary, after confirming that the interior of the water pipe to be coated has dried, a mixture of the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) is applied. As in the cleaning process described above, the mixture is mixed by hand, using a gear pump, static mixer, or the like. After or while a high-speed airflow (wind speed 20-40 ms) is generated inside the water pipe from the lower side using a known suction device, the mixture of the base agent (A) and the curing agent (B) is poured into the water pipe from the upper side. This allows the poured mixture to be uniformly dispersed and spread throughout the water pipe according to the principle of annular two-layer flow. As a result, a smooth coating is formed over the entire inner surface of the water pipe. Note that after pouring the paint, a jig or auxiliary tool may be inserted into the water pipe to adjust the coating thickness. Alternatively, a known two-component mixing injector nozzle may be connected to a known air hose, and compressed air (for example, 0.1 MPa to 0.5 MPa) may be sent using a compressor to spray the base agent (A), the curing agent (B), or the mixed liquid from the tip of the two-component mixing injector nozzle, which may then be pulled up at a constant speed from the bottom to the top of the water pipe to apply the mixture. If necessary, after the spray coating, an air current may be circulated through the water pipe using a suction device to make the coating surface uniform and adjust the coating thickness.
[0129] <Drying process> After the coating film has been formed over the entire inside of the water pipe, it may be allowed to dry naturally, or, if necessary, hot air may be blown into the water pipe to speed up the drying time. The guideline for complete curing depends on the weather, the solids concentration in the base resin (A) and the curing agent (B), etc., but is, for example, about 6 hours when the temperature is 33° C., 2.5 hours when the temperature is 25° C., and 1.5 hours when the temperature is 40° C. The coating thickness is usually preferably about 0.3-0.3 mm to 5 mm. This allows the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe to be cured, thereby obtaining a cured product (for example, a coating layer). Because such a cured product is formed from the above-mentioned two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe, it exhibits excellent curability and conformability within the water pipe, and also exhibits excellent mechanical properties after curing.
[0130] The present disclosure relates to an inner-wall-coated water pipe having a water pipe body and a cured product of the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe of the present embodiment coated on the inner wall of the water pipe body. As described above, it has been confirmed that an inner-wall-coated water pipe, in which the two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes of this embodiment has been applied to the inside of the water pipe and cured, has significantly improved mechanical strength such as impact resistance and elongation compared to a water pipe body that is not coated with the cured two-component curing composition for coating the inner walls of water pipes of this embodiment. Furthermore, even if the shape of the water pipe body is curved, the two-component curing composition for coating the inner wall of a water pipe of this embodiment has an appropriate viscosity, so the cured product can be coated on the inner wall of the water pipe body in accordance with the shape of the water pipe body, and it has been confirmed that the composition has excellent conformability.

[0142] 2. Evaluation Method (2-1) Measurement of pot life 60 g of each of the main components (A1) to (A3) prepared in the examples was weighed and placed in a stirring vessel, and then 60 g of each of the curing agents (B1) to (B3) prepared in the examples was added, followed by stirring and mixing at room temperature (25°C) for 30 seconds. The resulting mixture was then used to measure the thickening behavior. Specifically, 120 g of the resulting mixture was placed in a 200 cc plastic cup, and the viscosity was automatically measured using a TV-100 rotational viscometer at 12 rpm with a No. 4 rotor at 25°C, with the viscosity measured every minute. Each of the main components (A1) to (A3) and each of the curing agents (B1) to (B3) were mixed together, and the time until the viscosity reached 50,000 mPa·s / 25°C was measured as the pot life. On the other hand, for the two-component curing epoxy resin composition of Comparative Example 1, 60 g of 100 g of the comparative base resin (a1) was weighed out and placed in a stirring vessel, and 20 g of the comparative curing agent was added.

Thereafter, the pot life was measured under the same conditions as for the mixtures of the above examples, and the time until the viscosity reached 50,000 mPa s / 25°C was measured.
[0143] (2-2) Measurement of mechanical properties 100 g of each base resin prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples was weighed into a stirring vessel, and then 100 g of each curing agent prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples was added. The mixture was then stirred and mixed for 1 minute in a vacuum casting machine to obtain a mixture. The mixture was then poured into a Teflon-coated mold to produce 3 mm thick sheets. Each sheet was then left to stand at 60°C for 1 hour, demolded, and further left to stand at 60°C for 24 hours, followed by another 24 hours at room temperature (25°C). Test specimens were then prepared from the two-component curing compositions for coating water pipe inner walls of the Examples and the two-component curing epoxy resin compositions of the Comparative Examples. The Shore D hardness of the obtained test pieces was measured using a durometer hardness tester (type D) in accordance with ISO-868. In addition, the breaking elongation was measured in accordance with JIS A 6021 (2011). The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0144] (2-3) Measurement of gel time, tack-free time, and complete curing time 10 g of each base resin prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples was weighed into a stirring vessel, and then 10 g of each curing agent prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples was added. The mixture was then stirred and mixed for 30 seconds at room temperature (25°C) to obtain a mixture. The mixture was then applied to a metal plate and adjusted to a coating thickness of 0.2 mm. The gelation time was measured at 3°C, room temperature (25°C), and 40°C, respectively, and the time until the uncured resin no longer adhered to the finger when lightly touched with a finger was recorded. The tack-free time was measured as the time until the coating no longer felt sticky when touched with a finger. The complete cure time was measured as the time until the surface condition of the coating no longer changed after water was applied. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0145] (2-4) Viscosity measurement In accordance with JIS K 7117-1:1999, the base resin and curing agent of each of the examples and comparative examples were set using a TV-100 type viscometer at a measurement temperature of 25°C, and the viscosity was measured after 2 minutes.
[0146] (2-6) Measurement of amine value and hydroxyl value The amine value of the amine compound and the hydroxyl value of the first and second polyhydric alcohol compounds used in the examples and comparative examples are measured by the following method when catalog values or the like are not available. The amine value (mgKOH / g) is determined according to the method specified in ASTM D2074 by measuring the amount of potassium hydroxide (mg) equivalent to the amount of hydrochloric acid required to neutralize the compounds with amine groups contained in 1 g of sample. The hydroxyl value (mgKOH / g) was measured according to the methods described in JIS K 0070-1992 and JIS K 1557-1.
