Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a moisture-curable polyurethane hot melt resin composition having moisture-proof properties.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, hot melt resin compositions are solvent-free, environmentally friendly, curable in a short time, and very easy to handle materials, so it is possible to improve the working environment at the manufacturing site. Therefore, hot melt resin compositions are widely used in a wide range of fields such as precision machinery fields such as automobiles and electric appliances, and construction fields.

[0003] For example, in the field of building members, decorative fabricated members obtained by laminating a base material such as plywood, MDF (medium density fiberboard), particle board, etc. and a surface material such as a decorative sheet are widely used. The decorative fabricated member was generally used as a building member by adhering it to both sides of a hollow core material (see Patent Document 1).

[0004] In the usage environment of building members, dew condensation may occur due to the temperature difference between the inside (especially the hollow part) and the outside of the above building members. When the decorative fabricated part absorbs dew condensation, deformation of the decorative fabricated member such as warping and swelling was likely to occur due to differences in moisture absorption of constituent members such as the base material and the surface material. Therefore, a moisture-proof layer is provided inside the decorative fabricated member for the purpose of suppressing deformation due to moisture absorption and improving durability.

[0005] When providing a moisture-proof layer inside a decorative fabricated member, the moisture-proof layer is usually bonded to a base material, a surface material, etc. via an adhesive. However, from the viewpoint of process reduction, it has been considered to use a moisture-curable polyurethane hot melt resin composition having both moisture-proof performance and adhesive performance to integrate the moisture-proof layer and the adhesive layer (see Patent Document 2).

[0006] <​ Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-74826 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-75657 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] In recent years, the demand for moisture resistance has been high not only in the building materials field but also in the precision machinery field. Moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt resin compositions that combine moisture resistance and adhesive properties are considered useful not only for meeting the demand for high moisture resistance but also from the standpoint of reducing processes and the number of parts.

[0008] On the other hand, moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt resin compositions with moisture-proof properties generally tend to have poor flexibility in the cured film due to strong intermolecular forces. Furthermore, moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt resin compositions do not adhere well to substrates in low-temperature environments, especially to cooled substrates. As a result, articles joined together via the above-mentioned moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt resin compositions are prone to delamination, and the articles may easily break. Given these circumstances, there is a need for moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt resin compositions that are excellent in moisture-proof properties, flexibility, and low-temperature adhesion.

[0009] This disclosure has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt resin composition that is excellent in moisture resistance, flexibility, and low-temperature adhesion.

[0041] The polyhydric alcohol used as a raw material for the above-mentioned crystalline polyester polyol (a3) ​​may contain polyhydric alcohols other than aliphatic and / or alicyclic compounds having two or more hydroxyl groups, as long as the function of the above-mentioned crystalline polyester polyol (a3) ​​is not impaired.

[0043] As the polycaprolactone polyol mentioned above, for example, a reaction product of a compound having two or more hydroxyl groups and ε-caprolactone can be used. As the compound having two or more hydroxyl groups, aliphatic and / or alicyclic compounds having two or more hydroxyl groups as described in the sections on polyester polyols (a1) to (a3) ​​above, aromatic compounds having two or more hydroxyl groups as described in the section on polyester polyols (a4) below, etc. Polycaprolactone polyols may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0044] The number-average molecular weight of the above-mentioned crystalline polyester polyol (a3) ​​can be appropriately selected depending on its type.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned crystalline polyester polyol (a3) ​​preferably contains at least a polycaprolactone polyol, as this can further improve the initial adhesion of the resin composition of this disclosure.

[0046] The content of the above-mentioned crystalline polyester polyol (a3) ​​is preferably in the range of 10% to 40% by mass, more preferably in the range of 15% to 35% by mass, and even more preferably in the range of 20% to 30% by mass, per 100% by mass of polyol (A). By setting the content of crystalline polyester polyol (a3) ​​in polyol (A) within the above range, a good balance between open time and initial adhesion can be achieved. If the content is too high, it may lead to a decrease in processability due to a shortened open time, and if it is too low, it may lead to a decrease in initial adhesion.

The sample was cut into strips 10 mm wide and 50 mm long, and tensile tested using a tensile testing machine "Autograph AG-I" (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) at a temperature of 23°C and a crosshead speed of 10 mm / second. The 100% modulus (MPa) and elongation at break (%) were measured and evaluated according to the following criteria. (100% Modulus Evaluation Criteria) T: 100% Modulus is 30 MPa or less F: 100% Modulus exceeds 30 MPa (Evaluation criteria for elongation at break) T: Elongation is 100% or more F: Elongation is less than 100%

[0104] <Adhesion> A moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt resin composition, heated and melted at 120°C for 1 hour, was applied to substrate 1 (5.5 mm MDF) using a roll coater to a film thickness of 100 μm. When the surface temperature of the coating reached 40°C, substrate 2 (2.7 mm MDF, surface temperature: 23°C) was bonded to it, roll-pressed at a pressure of 1.2 MPa, and then cured at 23°C and 50 RH% to obtain laminate 1. Furthermore, under the same conditions, base material 3 (2.7 mm MDF, surface temperature: 10°C) was bonded together, roll-pressed at a pressure of 1.2 MPa, and then cured at 10°C and 50 RH% to obtain laminate 2. A chisel was used to make a crack in the adhesive surface of the resulting laminates 1 and 2 (between substrate 1 and substrate 2 or substrate 3), and the adhesion to the substrate (at room temperature and low temperature) was determined from the peeling state according to the following criteria. ○: Adhesion present (Delamination state: Material failure) ×: No adhesion (Detachment state: Interfacial detachment)

[0105] [Table 1]

[0106] The above results confirm that the cured film obtained using the moisture-curing urethane hot melt resin composition of the example exhibits low moisture permeability and high moisture-proof performance. Furthermore, it was confirmed that it exhibits high 100% modulus value and tensile strength, as well as high flexibility. In addition, the moisture-curing urethane hot melt resin composition of the example showed excellent adhesion to both substrates at room temperature (23°C) and low temperature (10°C). These points suggest that the moisture-curing urethane hot melt resin composition of the example exhibits excellent adhesion not only at room temperature but also in low-temperature environments (low-temperature adhesion).

[0107] On the other hand, the cured film obtained from the moisture-curing urethane hot-melt resin composition of Comparative Example 1 had the same moisture-proof performance as the example, but the flexibility of the film was inferior. Furthermore, the moisture-curing urethane hot-melt resin composition of Comparative Example 1 had poor low-temperature adhesion. The cured film obtained using the moisture-curing urethane hot-melt resin composition of Comparative Example 2 had high moisture permeability and poor moisture-proof performance.
