Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to coating compositions, coated substrates, and methods for producing coating layers. [Background technology]
[0002] Waterproofing materials are widely used to protect building materials and the like from external factors such as pollutants, water, oil, etc. Known waterproofing materials include coating waterproofing materials containing urethane resins (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-59157 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Although urethane resins can be crosslinked at room temperature, there is room for improvement in weather resistance. Under these circumstances, the present inventors investigated a coating composition containing an ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymer and a crosslinking agent. Ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymers, such as ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene copolymer (EPDM), generally do not contain unsaturated bonds in the main chain of their molecular structure. Therefore, these copolymers have excellent weather resistance and are widely used in a variety of applications.
[0005] However, the present inventors have found that a coating composition containing an ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymer and a crosslinking agent may not cure well at room temperature. An object of the present disclosure is to provide a coating composition containing an ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymer and a crosslinking agent, which has excellent room temperature curing properties. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] One aspect of the composition of the present disclosure is an ethylene·α-olefin·non-conjugated polyene copolymer (A) containing a structural unit derived from ethylene [A1], a structural unit derived from an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms [A2], and a structural unit derived from a non-conjugated polyene [A3] containing in total two or more of at least one partial structure selected from the group consisting of the following formula (I) and formula (II) in one molecule, a hydrosilyl group-containing compound (Y) which is an organohydropolysiloxane represented by the following formula (Y1) and has at least one silicon atom-bonded aralkyl group and at least two silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in one molecule, a platinum-based catalyst, and a solvent, and is a coating composition.
Effects of the Invention
[0007] The coating composition of the present disclosure contains an ethylene·α-olefin·non-conjugated polyene copolymer (A), a hydrosilyl group-containing compound (Y), and a platinum-based catalyst, and is excellent in room-temperature curability.
Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0008] In the present specification, the numerical range n1 to n2 means n1 or more and n2 or less when n1 < n2, and means n2 or more and n1 or less when n1 > n2. In the present specification, when a plurality of lower limit values and upper limit values are described in the description of an element, a numerical range formed by combining a value arbitrarily selected from the described lower limit values and a value arbitrarily selected from the described upper limit values is also described.
[0009] In the present specification, when the units of the numerical values described before and after "~" indicating a numerical range are the same, the unit of the numerical value described before "~" may be omitted. For example, "50 mol% to 85 mol%" may be described as "50 to 85 mol%".
[0010] In this specification, the amount of each component in a composition means the total amount of the multiple substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified, when multiple substances corresponding to that component are present in the composition.
[0011] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, each component in the composition or each structural unit in the polymer may contain one type or two or more types. In this specification, the term "polymer" may be used without any particular distinction between homopolymers and copolymers. That is, the term "polymer" is used to mean both homopolymers and copolymers.
[0012] [Coating composition] The coating composition of the present disclosure (hereinafter also referred to as the "composition of the present disclosure") contains an ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymer (A), a hydrosilyl group-containing compound (Y), a platinum catalyst, and a solvent. Each component will be described below.
[0013] <Ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymer (A)> The ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymer (A) (hereinafter also referred to as "copolymer (A)") contains structural units derived from ethylene [A1], structural units derived from an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms [A2], and structural units derived from a non-conjugated polyene [A3]. The non-conjugated polyene [A3] is a non-conjugated polyene containing a total of two or more partial structures per molecule, each of which is at least one type selected from the group consisting of the following formulas (I) and (II):
[0014] [ka]
[0015] Examples of the α-olefin [A2] having 3 to 20 carbon atoms include propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, and 1-eicosene. Among these, α-olefins having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, such as propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene, are preferred, with propylene being particularly preferred. Such α-olefins are preferred because they are relatively inexpensive in terms of raw material cost, the resulting copolymers exhibit excellent mechanical properties, and crosslinked products having rubber elasticity can be obtained. The α-olefins [A2] may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0016] Examples of the non-conjugated polyene [A3] include 5-vinyl-2-norbornene (VNB), norbornadiene, 1,4-hexadiene, 5-(2-propenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(3-butenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(1-methyl-2-propenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(4-pentenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(1-methyl-3-butenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(5-hexenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(1-methyl-4-pentenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(2 Examples of suitable non-conjugated polyenes include 5-(1,2-dimethyl-5-hexenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(1,2,3-trimethyl-4-pentenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(1,2,3-trimethyl-4-pentenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(1,2,3-trimethyl-4-pentenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(1,2,3-trimethyl-4-pentenyl)-2-norbornene, and dicyclopentadiene. The non-conjugated polyene [A3] preferably contains VNB, and more preferably is VNB, because it is readily available, the resulting copolymer exhibits good hydrosilyl crosslinkability, and the heat resistance of the composition is likely to be improved. The non-conjugated polyene [A3] may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0017] The copolymer (A) may further contain structural units derived from a non-conjugated polyene [A4]. The non-conjugated polyene [A4] is a non-conjugated polyene containing only one partial structure selected from the group consisting of formula (I) and formula (II) per molecule.
[0018] Examples of the non-conjugated polyene [A4] include 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), 5-methylene-2-norbornene, 5-(2,3-dimethyl-3-butenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(3,4-dimethyl-4-pentenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-(5-ethyl-5-hexenyl)-2-norbornene, and 5-(2-methyl-1-propenyl)-2-norbornene. Because of its high availability, ease of controlling the crosslinking rate of the resulting copolymer, and ease of obtaining good mechanical properties, the non-conjugated polyene [A4] preferably contains ENB, and more preferably is ENB. The non-conjugated polyene [A4] may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0019] The copolymer (A) may contain at least one structural unit derived from a biomass-derived monomer. Examples of the biomass-derived monomer include biomass-derived ethylene, biomass-derived α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and biomass-derived non-conjugated polyenes. Examples of the biomass-derived α-olefins include biomass-derived propylene. Examples of the biomass-derived non-conjugated polyenes include biomass-derived 5-vinyl-2-norbornene and biomass-derived 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene. The monomers used as raw materials for the copolymer (A) may contain only biomass-derived monomers, only fossil fuel-derived monomers, or both biomass-derived monomers and fossil fuel-derived monomers. The biomass-derived monomers can be obtained by known methods. It is preferable that the copolymer (A) contain structural units derived from biomass-derived monomers from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental impact.
[0020] The copolymer (A) may contain at least one structural unit derived from a chemically recycled monomer. Examples of the chemically recycled monomer include ethylene derived from chemical recycling, an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms derived from chemical recycling, and a non-conjugated polyene derived from chemical recycling. The monomers used as raw materials for the copolymer (A) may contain only chemically recycled monomers, only fossil fuel-derived monomers, or both chemically recycled monomers and fossil fuel-derived monomers. The chemically recycled monomers are obtained by known methods. It is preferable that the copolymer (A) contains a structural unit derived from a chemically recycled monomer from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental load (mainly reducing waste).
[0021] Copolymer (A) preferably satisfies the following requirements (i) and (ii): In addition to satisfying requirements (i) and (ii), copolymer (A) preferably satisfies one or more of the following requirements (iii) to (v), more preferably satisfies two or more of the following requirements (iii) to (v), still more preferably satisfies requirements (iii) and (iv), and particularly preferably satisfies all of the following requirements (iii) to (v).
[0022] Requirement (i): When all structural units contained in the copolymer (A) are taken as 100 mol %, the ratio [(A1) / (A2)] of the molar fraction (A1) of structural units derived from ethylene [A1] to the molar fraction (A2) of structural units derived from an α-olefin [A2] having 3 to 20 carbon atoms is 40 / 60 to 99.9 / 0.1. The ratio [(A1) / (A2)] is preferably 50 / 50 to 90 / 10, more preferably 55 / 45 to 85 / 15, even more preferably 55 / 45 to 80 / 20, still more preferably 55 / 45 to 78 / 22, and particularly preferably 60 / 40 to 75 / 25.
[0023] When the copolymer (A) satisfies the requirement (i), the crosslinked body and coating layer obtained from the composition containing such a copolymer tend to be excellent in rubber elasticity, flexibility and mechanical strength.
[0024] When all structural units contained in the copolymer (A) are taken as 100 mol %, the molar fraction (A1) of structural units derived from ethylene [A1] is preferably 50 to 85 mol %, more preferably 55 to 80 mol %, and even more preferably 60 to 75 mol %.
[0025] Requirement (ii): The mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] is 0.07 to 10 mass % in 100 mass % of the copolymer (A). The mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] is preferably 0.1 to 8.0 mass%, more preferably 0.5 to 5.0 mass%, further preferably 0.5 to 3.0 mass%, particularly preferably 0.5 to 2.0 mass%.
[0026] When the copolymer (A) satisfies the requirement (ii), the crosslinked body and the coating layer obtained from the composition containing such a copolymer tend to have sufficient hardness and excellent mechanical properties. When the copolymer (A) satisfies the requirement (ii), the copolymer (A) tends to have excellent hydrosilyl crosslinkability and a high crosslinking rate.
[0027] When the copolymer (A) further contains a structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A4], the mass fraction of the structural unit is preferably 20 mass% or less, more preferably 8.0 mass% or less, and even more preferably 0.01 to 8.0 mass% in 100 mass% of the copolymer (A).
[0028] The molar fraction (A1) of the structural unit derived from ethylene [A1], the molar fraction (A2) of the structural unit derived from an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms [A2], the ratio [(A1) / (A2)], the mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3], and the mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A4] were measured using the apparatus and conditions described in the Examples section below. 13It can be calculated by measuring the C-NMR spectrum.
[0029] Requirement (iii): The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer (A), the mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] (mass fraction (mass%) of [A3]), and the molecular weight of the non-conjugated polyene [A3] (molecular weight of [A3]) satisfy the following formula (1): 4.5≦Mw×[A3] mass fraction / 100 / [A3] molecular weight≦80 (1)
[0030] The formula (1) in the requirement (iii) is preferably the following formula (1a). 4.5≦Mw×mass fraction of [A3] / 100 / molecular weight of [A3]≦75 (1a) Formula (1) in requirement (iii) is preferably the following formula (1b). 4.5≦Mw×mass fraction of [A3] / 100 / molecular weight of [A3]≦70 (1b)
[0031] Requirement (iii) represents the content of structural units derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] per weight-average molecular weight (Mw) in the copolymer (A). When the copolymer (A) satisfies requirement (iii), the content of structural units derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] in such a copolymer is more appropriate. Therefore, the composition tends to exhibit sufficient hydrosilyl crosslinkability and a high crosslinking rate. Furthermore, the crosslinked body and coating layer formed from the composition tend to have a good balance of mechanical properties and heat aging resistance.
[0032] The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer (A) means the weight average molecular weight measured by 3D-gel permeation chromatography (GPC) under the conditions described in the explanation of requirement (v) and in the Examples section below.
[0033] Requirement (iv): Complex viscosity η at a frequency ω = 0.1 rad / s obtained by linear viscoelasticity measurement (190 ° C) using a rheometer * (ω=0.1) (Pa·sec) and the complex viscosity η at a frequency of ω=100 rad / sec* (ω=100) (Pa·sec) and the ratio P(η * (ω=0.1) / η * (ω=100) ), the intrinsic viscosity [η] (dL / g), and the mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] (mass fraction (mass%) of [A3]) satisfy the following formula (2): P / ([η] 2.9 ) ≦ [A3] mass fraction × 6 (2)
[0034] Formula (2) in requirement (iv) is preferably the following formula (2a). P / ([η] 2.9 ) ≦ [A3] mass fraction × 5.7 (2a)
[0035] ratio P(η * (ω=0.1) / η * (ω=100) ) (hereinafter also referred to as "P value") represents the frequency dependence of viscosity. Therefore, P / ([η] 2.9 ) tends to show a high value when there is a lot of long-chain branching, although it is affected by factors such as short-chain branching and molecular weight. Generally, the more structural units derived from non-conjugated polyene an ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymer contains, the more long-chain branching it tends to have. However, copolymer (A) has less long-chain branching than conventionally known ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymers, and is therefore thought to be able to satisfy formula (2) or (2a).
[0036] The P value is the ratio of the complex viscosity measured at 190°C, 1.0% strain, and 0.1 rad / sec using a viscoelasticity measuring device (e.g., Ares (Rheometric Scientific)) to the complex viscosity measured at 100 rad / sec, with only the measurement frequency changed. The intrinsic viscosity [η] means the value measured in decalin at 135°C.
[0037] The copolymer (A) preferably satisfies the following requirement (v). Requirement (v): The number of long chain branches (LCB) per 1000 carbon atoms obtained using 3D-GPC 1000C ) and the natural logarithm of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) [Ln(Mw)] satisfy the following formula (3). LCB 1000C ≦1-0.07×Ln(Mw) (3)
[0038] Formula (3) is preferably the following formula (3a): LCB 1000C ≦1-0.071×Ln(Mw) (3a) The upper limit of the number of long-chain branches per unit carbon atom in copolymer (A) is determined by formula (3) or (3a). When copolymer (A) satisfies requirement (v), the proportion of long-chain branches contained in such copolymer is low, and therefore the curing characteristics when the composition is crosslinked tend to be excellent, and the crosslinked body and coating layer formed from the composition tend to have excellent heat aging resistance.
[0039] Requirement (v) Mw and number of long chain branches per 1000 carbon atoms (LCB) 1000C ) can be determined by a structural analysis method using 3D-GPC, and specifically, can be determined as follows.
[0040] First, the absolute molecular weight distribution is determined using a GPC device (for example, a 3D-high temperature GPC device PL-GPC220 (manufactured by Polymer Laboratories)), and the intrinsic viscosity is determined using a viscometer. The main measurement conditions are as follows:
[0041] Detector: Differential refractometer / GPC device built-in 2-angle light scattering photometer PD2040 type (Manufactured by Precision Detectors) Bridge-type viscometer PL-BV400 (Polymer Laboratories) Column: TSKgel GMH HR -H(S)HT x 2 + TSKgel GMH HR-M(S) x 1 piece (inner diameter 7.8mmφ x length 300mm per piece) Temperature: 140℃ Mobile phase: 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (containing 0.025% BHT) Injection volume: 0.5mL Sample concentration: ca 1.0 mg / mL Sample filtration: Filtration through a sintered filter with a pore size of 1.0 μm
[0042] The dn / dc value required to determine the absolute molecular weight is determined for each sample from the dn / dc value of standard polystyrene (molecular weight 190,000), 0.053, and the response intensity of the differential refractometer per unit injected mass.
[0043] Next, the long chain branching parameter g' for each eluted component was calculated from the relationship between the intrinsic viscosity obtained from the viscometer and the absolute molecular weight obtained from the light scattering photometer. i is calculated using the following formula (v-1): In formula (v-1), [η] = KM v , v=0.726. This equation is called the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada equation, where K is the solvent constant and M is the average molecular weight.
[0044]
number
[0045] The average values of g' are calculated from the following formulas (v-2), (v-3), and (v-4). A trendline assuming only short chain branches is determined for each sample.
[0046]
number
[0047] g' w Using these, the number of branching points per molecular chain BrNo, the degree of branching per unit molecular weight λ, and the number of long chain branches per 1000 carbon atoms LCB 1000CTo calculate BrNo, use the following Zimm-Stockmayer formula (v-5): λ and LCB 1000C The following formulas (v-6) and (v-7) are used to calculate g is the long chain branching parameter calculated from the radius of gyration Rg, and there is a simple correlation between g' calculated from the intrinsic viscosity as follows: g=g' (1 / ε) (ε (structure factor) = 0.5 to 1.5) Various values have been proposed for ε in the formula depending on the shape of the molecule. Here, calculations are performed assuming ε = 1 (i.e., g' = g).
[0048]
number
[0049] λ=BrNo / M (v-6) LCB 1000C =λ×14000 (v-7) In formula (v-7), "14000" means a molecular weight equivalent to 1000 methylene (CH2) units.
[0050] The copolymer (A) preferably satisfies the following requirement (vi). Requirement (vi): Complex viscosity η at a frequency ω = 0.01 rad / s obtained by linear viscoelasticity measurement (190 ° C) using a rheometer * (ω=0.01) (Pa·sec) and the complex viscosity η at a frequency of ω=10 rad / sec * (ω=10) (Pa·sec) and the apparent iodine value derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] satisfy the following formula (4). Log[η * (ω=0.01) ] / Log[η * (ω=10) ] ≦ 0.0753 × {apparent iodine value derived from non-conjugated polyene [A3]} + 1.42 (4)
[0051] In formula (4), the left side represents the shear rate dependency, which is an index of the content of long chain branches, and the right side represents an index of the content of non-conjugated polyene [A3] that is not consumed as long chain branches during polymerization. If the copolymer (A) satisfies formula (4), the degree of long chain branching is not too high, which is preferable.
[0052] Complex viscosity η * (ω=0.01) and complex viscosity η * (ω=10) is the complex viscosity η in requirement (iv) * (ω=0.1) and complex viscosity η * (ω=100) Measurements can be performed in the same way except for the measurement frequency. The apparent iodine value derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] can be calculated by the following formula: Apparent iodine value derived from [A3] = mass fraction of [A3] × 253.81 / molecular weight of [A3]
[0053] In the copolymer (A), as described above, the non-conjugated polyene [A3] preferably contains VNB, and more preferably is VNB. That is, in the formulas (1) and (2), the "mass fraction of [A3]" is preferably the "mass fraction of structural units derived from VNB."
[0054] As described above, when the copolymer (A) contains structural units derived from ethylene [A1], an α-olefin [A2] having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a non-conjugated polyene [A3], and a non-conjugated polyene [A4], the mass fraction of the structural units derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A4] is preferably 20 mass% or less (where the total mass fraction of the structural units derived from ethylene [A1], an α-olefin [A2] having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a non-conjugated polyene [A3], and a non-conjugated polyene [A4] is taken as 100 mass%). In this case, the copolymer (A) preferably satisfies the following requirement (vii).
[0055] Requirement (vii): The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer (A), the mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] (mass fraction (mass%) of [A3]), the mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A4] (mass fraction (mass%) of [A4]), the molecular weight of the non-conjugated polyene [A3] (molecular weight of [A3]), and the molecular weight of the non-conjugated polyene [A4] (molecular weight of [A4]) satisfy the following formula (5) (where the total of the mass fractions of the structural units derived from ethylene [A1], the α-olefin [A2] having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, the non-conjugated polyene [A3], and the non-conjugated polyene [A4] is 100% by mass). 4.5≦Mw×{(mass fraction of [A3] / 100 / molecular weight of [A3])+(mass fraction of [A4] / 100 / molecular weight of [A4])}≦80 (5) Formula (5) specifies the total content of structural units derived from non-conjugated polyenes ([A3] and [A4]) per weight average molecular weight (Mw) in the copolymer (A).
[0056] The formula (5) in the requirement (vii) is preferably the following formula (5a): 4.5≦Mw×{(mass fraction of [A3] / 100 / molecular weight of [A3])+(mass fraction of [A4] / 100 / molecular weight of [A4])}≦75 (5a)
[0057] When the copolymer (A) containing structural units derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A4] satisfies the requirement (vii), a crosslinked body and a coating layer having excellent mechanical properties and heat aging resistance can be obtained.
[0058] The copolymer (A) preferably satisfies the following requirement (viii). Requirement (viii): The mass fraction of the structural unit derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3] (mass fraction (mass %) of [A3]) and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer (A) satisfy the following formula (6): 6-0.45×Ln(Mw)≦[A3] mass fraction≦10 (6) When the copolymer (A) satisfies the requirement (viii), such a copolymer is preferred because it contains a sufficient amount of structural units derived from the non-conjugated polyene [A3].
[0059] The intrinsic viscosity [η] of the copolymer (A) is preferably 0.1 to 5.0 dL / g, more preferably 0.5 to 5.0 dL / g, still more preferably 0.8 to 4.0 dL / g, and particularly preferably 1.0 to 3.5 dL / g.

[0061] The intrinsic viscosity [η] and weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer (A) are preferably both within the above ranges. The intrinsic viscosity [η] of the copolymer (A) can be measured using the apparatus and conditions described in the Examples section. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer (A) can be measured by 3D-GPC using the apparatus and conditions described in the Examples section.
[0062] The copolymer (A) can be obtained, for example, by copolymerizing ethylene [A1], an α-olefin [A2] having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a non-conjugated polyene [A3], and, if necessary, a non-conjugated polyene [A4]. The copolymer (A) is preferably obtained by copolymerizing the above monomers in the presence of a metallocene compound, and more preferably by copolymerizing the above monomers in the presence of a catalyst system containing a metallocene compound. The copolymer (A) can be produced, for example, by the production method using a metallocene catalyst described in JP 2018-119096 A and WO 2015 / 122495 A.
[0063] The copolymer (A) may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The content of copolymer (A) in the composition of the present disclosure is preferably 10 to 99.9 mass%, more preferably 15 to 99.5 mass%, even more preferably 20 to 99 mass%, and particularly preferably 23 to 98 mass%, based on 100 mass% of the solid content of the composition. In one embodiment, the content of copolymer (A) may be, for example, 30 to 99.5 mass%, 50 to 99 mass%, or 60 to 98 mass%, based on 100 mass% of the solid content of the composition. The solid content of the composition refers to all components excluding the solvent.

Note that even if n is a number other than 0 or 1, one or both of the Rs at both ends of the molecular chain can be silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms.
[0071] n is preferably a number other than 0 or 1, and more preferably a number satisfying n≧m. n is preferably 3-10, more preferably 3-9, and even more preferably 5-9.

That is, the order of arrangement of the siloxy units in formula (Y1) is not particularly limited.

[0102] The composition of the present disclosure can be produced, for example, by a method comprising the steps of: (1) dissolving the copolymer (A) in a solvent to prepare a solution; and (2) adding the hydrosilyl group-containing compound (Y) and a platinum catalyst to the solution.
[0103] In step (1), the above-mentioned other components may be added as necessary. In step (1), for example, the copolymer (A) and, if necessary, the other components may be masticated or kneaded, and the resulting masticated or kneaded product may be mixed with a solvent. Note that the solution may contain components that are insoluble or have low solubility in the solvent, such as a filler, and such a case is also referred to as a "solution."
[0104] In step (1), the components may be masticated or kneaded using a kneading device such as a Banbury mixer, a kneader, or an internal mixer. The mastication or kneading temperature in step (1) is preferably 80 to 170°C, more preferably 110 to 170°C, and even more preferably 130 to 170°C.

[0108] The coating composition of the present disclosure can be cured (crosslinked) at room temperature, i.e., has excellent room temperature curability (room temperature crosslinkability). Furthermore, the coating layer formed from the coating composition of the present disclosure has excellent weather resistance because it is a crosslinked system of copolymer (A) and compound (Y). Conventional waterproof coating materials containing urethane-based resins do not have sufficient weather resistance and may require the provision of a top coat layer on the layer formed from the waterproof coating material. However, when the coating composition of the present disclosure is used as a waterproof coating material, the provision of such a top coat layer is not necessarily required. However, the present disclosure does not in any way preclude the provision of a top coat layer on the coating layer.

The composition can be used, for example, in both new construction and renovation work.
[0111] While heat is required to crosslink ethylene-α-olefin-non-conjugated polyene copolymers with sulfur or organic peroxides, the coating composition of the present disclosure can be cured at room temperature, making it possible to coat areas that cannot be heated.

[0115] In step (I), the coating composition can be applied to the substrate by, for example, applying it with a trowel, spatula, roller or brush, spraying, or dipping. The amount of the composition applied can be adjusted by the application method, the number of applications, the content of the solvent in the composition, the thickness of the coating layer, etc.

In the above steps, at least a portion of the solvent is removed by volatilization from the coating composition.
