Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for waterproofing materials, a spray composition for waterproofing materials, and a waterproofing material.

Background Art

[0002] Spray urethane waterproofing materials or spray urea waterproofing materials (quick-curing spray urethane waterproofing materials) can quickly cure by spray spraying onto an object to form a waterproof coating film (urethane coating film or urea coating film). Such quick-curing spray urethane waterproofing materials are widely used, for example, in waterproof applications of buildings and are extremely useful functional materials. Quick-curing spray urethane waterproofing materials are known to be formed, for example, by mixing a composition containing a polyol or polyamine component as a main component and a catalyst, and a composition having a polyisocyanate as a main component, and curing the mixed composition.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a two-component diphenylmethane diisocyanate-based urethane waterproofing material composition. Such a composition includes a main agent containing an isocyanate group-terminated prepolymer obtained by the reaction of diphenylmethane diisocyanate and a polyol, a curing agent containing a polyol as a reaction component, and a curing accelerator such as an imidazole compound, and is said to be suitable as an environmentally friendly waterproofing material.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the properties of the coating film formed by applying a fast-curing spray urethane waterproofing material are greatly affected by the environment during application (e.g., temperature, humidity). In particular, the inventors have found that, for example, when the catalyst (curing catalyst) contained in the fast-curing spray urethane waterproofing material is the most common tin-based catalyst (e.g., dibutylsulata laurate, DBTDL), the tensile strength and elongation at break of the coating film are insufficient, and further decrease in high-humidity environments.

[0006] In this regard, when a lead-based catalyst is used, the coating film properties (tensile strength and elongation at break) are good, and deterioration of properties is less likely to occur even in high-humidity environments. However, lead compounds are listed as one of the hazardous metals whose concentration in water is strictly regulated by environmental standards for water quality stipulated in the Environmental Standards Law, etc. Therefore, there is a risk that hazardous metals such as lead may leach from polyurethane waterproofing materials, and the use of lead compounds is undesirable from the standpoint of water pollution. From these perspectives, there has been a strong demand for the development of a material that can form a coating film with excellent tensile strength and elongation at break, and that can be suitably used in spray compositions for waterproofing materials.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and aims to provide a waterproofing material composition that can form a coating film with excellent tensile strength and elongation at break, a waterproofing material spray composition containing the composition, and a waterproofing material. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The inventors of this invention conducted extensive research to achieve the above objectives and, as a result, discovered that these objectives can be achieved by using dimethyltin dilaurate as an essential component, thus completing the present invention.

[0009] In other words, the present invention encompasses, for example, the subject matter described in the following sections. Item 1 A composition for use as a waterproofing material, The aforementioned waterproofing material is urethane or urea. At least one component A selected from the group consisting of polyols and polyamines, Crosslinking agent and Curing catalyst and It contains at least the following: The curing catalyst is a waterproofing material composition containing dimethyltin dilaurate. Section 2 The waterproofing material composition according to claim 1, wherein component A is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyether polyols, polycarbonate polyols, and polyether polyamines. Section 3 The waterproofing composition according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the crosslinking agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of aromatic primary amines, aliphatic primary amines, and aliphatic secondary amines. Section 4 A spray composition for waterproofing materials containing the waterproofing material composition described in any one of items 1 to 3 and an isocyanate composition. Section 5 A waterproofing material containing a cured product of the waterproofing spray composition described in item 4. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The waterproofing composition of the present invention can form a coating film with excellent tensile strength and elongation at break, and can be suitably used in waterproofing spray compositions. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] As mentioned above, when urethane or urea coatings are formed using DBTDL as a curing catalyst, such coatings have insufficient tensile strength and elongation at break, and further decrease in humid environments. On the other hand, in order to form urethane or urea coatings, it is necessary to use a metal catalyst as a curing catalyst, and among them, tin-based catalysts are indispensable because they offer a good balance between curability and the physical properties of the coating.

[0012] From this perspective, the inventors have diligently studied and have succeeded in completing a waterproofing material composition that can form a coating film with excellent tensile strength and elongation at break, even when using a tin catalyst. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0013] In this specification, the expressions "contains" and "include" include the concepts of "contains," "includes," "substantially consists of," and "consists solely of."

[0014] Furthermore, in the numerical ranges described stepwise in this specification, the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in one step can be arbitrarily combined with the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in another step. In the numerical ranges described in this specification, the upper or lower limit of that numerical range may be replaced with values ​​shown in the examples or values ​​that can be uniquely derived from the examples. Also, in this specification, numbers connected by "~" mean a numerical range that includes the numbers before and after "~" as the lower and upper limits.

[0015] 1. Composition for waterproofing materials The waterproofing material composition of the present invention is for use as a waterproofing material, wherein the waterproofing material is urethane or urea and contains at least one component A selected from the group consisting of polyols and polyamines, a crosslinking agent, and a curing catalyst, wherein the curing catalyst contains dimethyltin dilaurate.

[0016] Using the waterproofing composition of the present invention, for example, a waterproofing spray composition can be prepared by mixing it with the polyisocyanate composition described later, and a waterproof coating can be formed by curing this composition. The waterproofing composition of the present invention can form a coating with excellent tensile strength and elongation at break, and is suitable for use in waterproofing spray compositions. The coating formed from the waterproofing composition of the present invention is urethane or urea, and therefore, the waterproofing composition can form a urethane waterproofing material or a urea waterproofing material.

[0017] (Component A; Polyol) The composition for waterproofing materials of the present invention contains Component A as an essential constituent. As described above, Component A is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyols and polyamines.

[0018] As long as the polyol is a compound having at least two or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule, for example, known polyols can also be widely used in the present invention. The polyol may be a polymer.

[0019] The polyol preferably has two or three hydroxyl groups, that is, it is preferably a bifunctional or trifunctional polyol. In this case, the coating film obtained from the composition for waterproofing materials of the present invention is more likely to have higher tensile strength and elongation at break, and even when the coating film is formed in a high-humidity environment, such a coating film can have excellent tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0020] Specific examples of the polyol include polyether polyol, polycarbonate polyol, polyester polyol, polylactone polyol, polybutadiene polyol, polymer polyol, Mannich polyol, and the like.

[0021] Among them, the polyol is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of polyether polyol and polycarbonate polyol. In this case, the coating film obtained from the composition for waterproofing materials of the present invention is more likely to have higher tensile strength and elongation at break, and even when the coating film is formed in a high-humidity environment, such a coating film can have excellent tensile strength and elongation at break. The polyol particularly preferably contains polyether polyol.

[0022] As a polyether polyol, polyoxyalkylene polyol is cited as a representative example. The polyoxyalkylene polyol can be produced by subjecting a compound having two or more hydroxyl groups, primary amino groups, secondary amino groups, and other active hydrogen-containing groups as starting materials to a ring-opening addition reaction of an alkylene oxide.

[0023] The starting materials for the polyoxyalkylene polyols mentioned above include polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, diglycerin, mannose, sucrose, fructose, dextrose, and sorbitol; alkanolamines such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, and methyldiethanolamine; polyhydric amines such as ethylenediamine, tolylenediamine, diethyltoluenediamine, 1,3-propanediamine, 1,6-hexanediamine, isophoronediamine, diethylenetriamine, and triethylenepentaamine; polyhydric phenols such as bisphenol A, bisphenol F, resorcinol, and hydroquinone; Mannich bases (formed by condensation reactions of phenols, aldehydes, alkanolamines, etc.); and modified versions thereof. These starting materials may be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0024] Examples of the alkylene oxides include ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, 1,2-butylene oxide, 2,3-butylene oxide, and styrene oxide. These alkylene oxides may be used individually or in combination of two or more types.

[0025] Suitable examples of polyether polyols include (di)ethylene glycol-based polyether polyols, (di)propylene glycol-based polyether polyols, (di)glycerin-based polyether polyols, trimethylolpropane-based polyether polyols, pentaerythritol-based polyether polyols, sucrose-based polyether polyols, dextrose-based polyether polyols, sorbitol-based polyether polyols, mono(di,tri)ethanolamine-based polyether polyols, ethylenediamine-based polyether polyols, tolylenediamine-based polyether polyols, bisphenol A-based polyether polyols, and other polyoxyalkylene-based polyols, polymer polyols in which polymer fine particles are dispersed in polyoxyalkylene-based polyols, and Mannich polyols.

[0026] The aforementioned polymer polyol is a type of polyether polyol because it contains a polyoxyalkylene polyol. The Mannich polyol can be produced by condensing phenols, aldehydes, alkanolamines, etc., and further by ring-opening addition reactions of alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide and propylene oxide as needed. Since the Mannich polyol has multiple ether bonds in its molecule, it is a type of polyether polyol.

[0027] Examples of polycarbonate polyols include hexanediol polycarbonate, butanediol polycarbonate, neopentyl glycol polycarbonate, 3-methylpentanediol polycarbonate, and one or more copolymers of the above polycarbonates.

In this specification, the hydroxyl value is the number of mg of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the free hydroxyl groups in 1 g of the sample (polyol) after completely acetylating them with acetic anhydride, and the value measured in accordance with JIS K 1557 (2007). Specifically, the hydroxyl value is calculated by acetylating the hydroxyl groups in the sample with acetic anhydride, titrating the acetic anhydride that did not participate in acetylation with a potassium hydroxide ethanol solution, and then formulating the result as follows: Hydroxyl value [mgKOH / g] = [((AB) × c × 56.1) / S] + Acid value (Here, A is the volume (mL) of 0.5 mol / L potassium hydroxide ethanol solution used for the blank test, B is the volume (mL) of 0.5 mol / L potassium hydroxide ethanol solution used for the titration, c is the concentration (mol / L) of the sodium hydroxide solution, and S is the sample volume (g).) It is determined by [method].

[0031] The average number of functional groups (f) of a polyol is, for example, 2 to 8, preferably 2 to 6, and more preferably 2 to 4. In this specification, the average number of functional groups (f) refers to the number of functional groups per molecule, in particular the number of hydroxyl groups per molecule. The average number of functional groups can be controlled by the number of functional groups of the initiator used during synthesis. The average number of functional groups (f) can be calculated from the hydroxyl value (OHV) and number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyol using the following formula Average number of functional groups (f)=Mn(g / mol)×OHV(mgKOH / g) / 56100 It is determined by [method].

[0032] The polyol contained in component A may be one type or two or more types.

In this case, the coating film obtained from the waterproofing composition of the present invention tends to have higher tensile strength and elongation at break, and even when the coating film is formed in a high-humidity environment, such a coating film can have excellent tensile strength and elongation at break.

Specifically, examples include polyoxyethylenediamine, polyoxypropylenediamine, methoxypoly(oxyethylene / oxypropylene)-2-propylamine, triethylene glycoldiamine, trimethylolpropanepoly(oxypropylene)triamine, and glycerylpoly(oxypropylene)triamine. Examples of polyamines include JEFFAMINED-2000, D-4000, and T-5000 from HUNTSMAN.

[0040] A more preferred component A is a polyol, and a further preferred component A is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyether polyols and polycarbonate polyols, with a particularly preferred polyol being a polyether polyol.

[0041] If component A is a polyol, a urethane coating film is formed by mixing it with the isocyanate composition described later and curing it. If component A is a polyamine, a urea coating film is formed by mixing it with the isocyanate composition described later and curing it.

[0042] Component A is preferably present in the waterproofing material composition of the present invention in an amount of 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, even more preferably 80% by mass or more, and preferably 95% by mass or less, and even more preferably 90% by mass or less.

[0043] (Crosslinking agent) The waterproofing material composition of the present invention contains a crosslinking agent as an essential component.

[0044] The crosslinking agent has a molecular weight of less than 500, preferably 400 or less, more preferably 300 or less, even more preferably 250 or less, and particularly preferably 200 or less.

[0045] In particular, the crosslinking agent is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of aromatic primary amines, aliphatic primary amines, and aliphatic secondary amines. In this case, the coating film obtained from the waterproofing material composition of the present invention tends to have higher tensile strength and elongation at break, and even when the coating film is formed in a high-humidity environment, such a coating film can have excellent tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0046] Examples of aromatic primary amines include 3,5-diethyl-2,4 (or 2,6)-diaminotoluene (also known as diethyltoluenediamine), 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine, 3,5-dimethylthio-2,4 (or 2,6)-diaminotoluene, 1-trifluoromethyl-3,5-diaminobenzene, 1-trifluoromethyl-4-chloro-3,5-diaminobenzene, 2,4-toluenediamine, 2,6-toluenediamine, and 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane.

[0047] Examples of aliphatic primary amines include ethylenediamine, m-xylenediamine, 1,4-diaminohexane, butylamine, hexamethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, dimethylaminopropylamine, and ethanolamine.

[0048] Examples of aliphatic secondary amines include N-methylethanolamine, diethanolamine, and diisopropanolamine.

Specific examples of such crosslinking agents include ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,6-hexanediol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, glycerin, sorbitol, and erythritol.

[0051] The crosslinking agent is more preferably an aromatic primary amine, and more preferably a diethyltoluenediamine. In these cases, the coating obtained from the waterproofing composition of the present invention tends to have particularly high tensile strength and elongation at break, and even when the coating is formed in a high-humidity environment, such a coating can have particularly excellent tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0055] (curing catalyst) The waterproofing material composition of the present invention contains dimethyltin dilaurate as an essential component as a curing catalyst. The inclusion of dimethyltin dilaurate in the waterproofing material composition of the present invention makes it easier to obtain coatings with higher tensile strength and elongation at break. Furthermore, even when the coating is formed in a high-humidity environment, such a coating can exhibit excellent tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0056] If the waterproofing composition of the present invention does not contain dimethyltin dilaurate, the coating film obtained from the waterproofing composition of the present invention will have reduced tensile strength and elongation at break, and in particular, the tensile strength and elongation at break will be significantly reduced when the coating film is formed in a high-humidity environment.

[0057] The curing catalyst may contain other curing catalysts as long as it contains dimethyltin dilaurate. Other curing catalysts include amine catalysts, metal catalysts, or mixtures thereof. Amine catalysts can be any one or more compounds containing an amino group and exhibiting the above-mentioned catalytic activity.

[0061] (Composition for waterproof materials) As described above, the waterproofing material composition of the present invention contains component A, a crosslinking agent, and dimethyltin dilaurate as a curing catalyst.

[0062] The waterproofing composition of the present invention may contain other components as long as it contains component A, a crosslinking agent, and dimethyltin dilaurate. Furthermore, the waterproofing composition of the present invention may be diluted with a solvent or the like.

[0063] Alternatively, the waterproofing material composition of the present invention may consist only of component A, a crosslinking agent, and a curing catalyst containing dimethyltin dilaurate, or the waterproofing material composition of the present invention may consist only of component A, a crosslinking agent, and dimethyltin dilaurate.

[0065] As described below, the waterproofing composition of the present invention can be combined with an isocyanate composition to form a waterproofing spray composition, and a coating film can be formed by curing such a waterproofing spray composition. As described above, when component A in the waterproofing composition of the present invention is a polyol, a urethane coating film is formed when the waterproofing composition of the present invention and the isocyanate composition are cured. When component A is a polyamine, a urea coating film is formed when the waterproofing composition of the present invention and the isocyanate composition are cured. In other words, when component A in the waterproofing composition of the present invention is a polyol, a urethane waterproofing material (more precisely, a polyurethane waterproofing material) can be formed, and when component A in the waterproofing composition of the present invention is a polyamine, a urea waterproofing material (more precisely, a polyurea waterproofing material) can be formed.

[0078] A spray composition for waterproofing materials may contain other components as long as it contains a waterproofing material composition and an isocyanate composition. Other components include additives such as anti-settlement agents, anti-foaming agents, antioxidants, UV absorbers, light stabilizers, plasticizers, flame retardants, water repellents, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, pigments, and dyes.

[0079] The waterproofing spray composition of the present invention has an isocyanate index of, for example, 110 or more and 150 or less. By having an isocyanate index within this range, the waterproofing spray composition can form a coating film with particularly high tensile strength and elongation at break, and even a coating film formed in a high-humidity environment can have excellent tensile strength and elongation at break. The isocyanate index is preferably 115 or more, more preferably 120 or more, preferably 145 or less, and more preferably 140 or less.

[0080] The isocyanate index refers to the value obtained by multiplying the ratio of isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate component to the total amount of active hydrogen reacting with isocyanate groups in the waterproofing spray composition by 100. The active hydrogen reacting with isocyanate groups in the waterproofing spray composition is based, for example, on component A and the crosslinking agent contained in the waterproofing spray composition.

[0081] The waterproofing spray composition of the present invention may contain other components as long as it includes the waterproofing composition and the isocyanate composition. The waterproofing spray composition may consist only of the waterproofing composition and polyisocyanate. In this invention, since components other than polyisocyanate can be considered to constitute the waterproofing composition, it is preferable that the composition consists only of the waterproofing composition and polyisocyanate.

[0082] In the waterproofing spray composition of the present invention, the ratio of the total number of moles of hydroxyl groups to the total number of moles of isocyanate groups, i.e., the OH / NCO value, can be in the range of 0.5 to 2, preferably 0.8 to 1.5, more preferably 0.85 to 1.1, and even more preferably 0.9 to 1.0.

[0084] The method for forming the coating film (urethane coating film or urea coating film) is not particularly limited, and known methods can be widely employed. For example, a waterproofing spray composition can be prepared by mixing a waterproofing material composition and an isocyanate composition at a predetermined temperature, and such waterproofing spray composition can be applied to an object by spraying to form a film, and such film can be cured to form a coating film. The resulting coating film is a urethane coating film or a urea coating film, and such coating film can be used as a waterproofing material.

[0085] There are no particular restrictions on the temperature when mixing the waterproofing material composition and the isocyanate composition. For example, it is 20°C or higher and 100°C or lower, preferably 30°C or higher and 90°C or lower, and more preferably 40°C or higher and 80°C or lower.

[0086] There are no particular restrictions on the mixing ratio of the waterproofing material composition and the isocyanate composition. For example, it can be adjusted to an appropriate range so as to fall within the aforementioned isocyanate index range or within the OH / NCO range. There are also no particular restrictions on the method of mixing the waterproofing material composition and the isocyanate composition. Mixing can be carried out using known mixing methods, such as a two-component cartridge-type simple mixer.

[0087] The method for spraying the waterproofing material composition is not particularly limited; for example, conventional spraying methods can be broadly cited, and an air-powered spray gun can be used.

[0088] The waterproofing material (coating film) formed in this manner contains the cured product of the waterproofing spray composition, and therefore exhibits excellent tensile strength and elongation at break. Furthermore, even when the waterproofing material is formed in a high-humidity environment, such a waterproofing material will still exhibit excellent tensile strength and elongation at break. For this reason, the waterproofing spray composition can be suitably used for fast-curing spray urethane waterproofing materials and the like.

[0115] For Preparation Examples 1-4 and Comparative Preparation Examples 1-4, there are two types of coating films (coating films prepared under two different temperature and humidity environments), and the measurement results of the tensile strength and elongation of each coating film are shown in Table 1. In other words, the physical properties of the coating film prepared under a high-humidity environment are also shown in Table 1.

[0116] Tables 1 and 2 show the formulation conditions for the waterproofing compositions prepared in each example and comparative example, as well as the composition and physical properties (tensile strength and elongation) of the coating films obtained in each preparation example. The numbers in parentheses in the "Preparation Example" column indicate the example number or comparative example number of the waterproofing composition used.

[0117] From Tables 1 and 2, it was found that the waterproof coating obtained using the waterproofing material composition containing component A (polyol), a crosslinking agent, and dimethyltin dilaurate as a curing catalyst (the waterproofing material composition of the examples) exhibited excellent tensile strength and elongation at break. Furthermore, from Table 1, it was found that the waterproof coating obtained using the waterproofing material composition obtained in the examples exhibited excellent tensile strength and elongation at break even when manufactured in a high-humidity environment. According to JIS standards, the tensile strength of the coating film must be 10 MPa or more for the high-strength type and 2.3 MPa or more for the high-elongation type, and the elongation rate must be 200% or more for the high-strength type and 450% or more for the high-elongation type. The waterproof coating produced using the waterproofing material composition obtained in the examples met both the high-strength and high-elongation standards.
