[0008] As will be described below, the present invention can provide a moisture-curable resin composition having better storage stability than conventional compositions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The moisture-curable resin composition of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, a numerical range expressed using "to" means a range that includes the numerical values before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits. In this specification, each component may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When two or more components are used in combination, the content of the components refers to the total content unless otherwise specified. In this specification, (meth)acrylic means acrylic or methacrylic, and (meth)acrylate means acrylate or methacrylate.
[0010] [Moisture-curable resin composition] The moisture-curable resin composition of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the composition of the present invention") is a moisture-curable resin composition containing a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester polymer (P) having a crosslinkable silyl group, an amine (A) having an amino group and / or a latent amino group but not a crosslinkable silyl group, and a monoaminosilane (S) having a crosslinkable silyl group and only one amino group per molecule.
[0011] It is believed that the composition of the present invention contains such ingredients and therefore exhibits the desired effects. The reason for this is not clear, but is presumed to be as follows. The (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester polymer (P) having a crosslinkable silyl group has an ester bond in its molecule. This ester bond may undergo a side reaction with an amine (A) present in the composition to form an amide bond. If a composition containing such a polymer (P) contains a crosslinkable silyl group and a monoaminosilane (S) having only one amino group per molecule, this competes with the amine (A) in the side reaction, preventing the polymer (P) from reacting with the amine (A), which is thought to improve storage stability.
[0012] Each component contained in the composition of the present invention will be described below.
[0013] <Polymer (P)> The composition of the present invention contains a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester polymer (P) having a crosslinkable silyl group. The polymer (P) contains repeating units of a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester, and the alkyl group of the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester may be unsubstituted or may have a substituent. The polymer (P) may further contain repeating units other than the repeating units derived from the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester.
[0014] (Crosslinkable silyl group) The polymer (P) has a crosslinkable silyl group. The polymer (P) preferably has at least one crosslinkable silyl group per molecule. The polymer (P) preferably has a crosslinkable silyl group at its terminal. The crosslinkable silyl group can undergo a condensation reaction, for example, in the presence of moisture or the like, using a curing catalyst or the like.
[0015] The crosslinkable silyl group may be, for example, a hydrolyzable silyl group. The crosslinkable silyl group may contain a silanol group formed by hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable silyl group. The crosslinkable silyl group (hydrolyzable silyl group) may be, for example, a group in which at least one hydrolyzable group selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, an acyloxy group, a ketoximate group, an amino group, an amide group, an acid amide group, an aminooxy group, a mercapto group, and an alkenyloxy group is bonded to a silicon atom.

The organic group bonded to the silicon atom in the -Si-O- is not particularly limited. The siloxane bond may be a polysiloxane, and one preferred embodiment of the polysiloxane is a divalent polysiloxane.
