Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a moisture-curable reactive hot melt adhesive. [Background technology]

[0002] In general, hot melt compositions are solvent-free, environmentally friendly, can be cured in a short time, and are very easy to handle, which makes it possible to improve the working environment at manufacturing sites. Therefore, hot melt compositions are widely used in precision fields such as automobiles and electrical appliances, as well as in the construction field.

[0003] In the past, the applicant invented a moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive containing an isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymer obtained by reacting a polyol composition (A) containing an amorphous polyester polyol (a1) having an aromatic dicarboxylic acid as a constituent unit and a liquid polyester polyol (a2) having an aromatic dicarboxylic acid as a constituent unit, the total of (a1) and (a2) being 50% by weight or more relative to the total polyol, with a polyfunctional isocyanate compound (B) (Patent Document 1). This hot melt adhesive had good adhesion to aromatic group-containing substrates, such as polyester sheets, even at low temperatures, and was useful for laminating decorative polyester sheets, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-255187 A

[0005] Conventionally, moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesives have been used in the manufacturing process of building materials. Specifically, they are used when bonding a plastic surface material to a wood-based substrate. Here, the moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive shown in Patent Document 1 has a relatively high moisture permeability, so that the wood-based substrate may gradually deform due to absorption of moisture passing through the bonding surface, and there is room for improvement. In addition, when a polyvinyl chloride resin-based surface material is bonded, the phthalate ester added to the resin as a plasticizer gradually seeps out and is absorbed by the bonding surface, which may cause a phenomenon in which the adhesive strength is reduced, and further improvement is required. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive that has high curing properties due to a short tack-free time, excellent elasticity and impact resistance due to a high elastic modulus, resistance to deterioration of the substrate due to low moisture permeability, and suppressed absorption of phthalate esters, all while maintaining good adhesion and melt viscosity. [Means for solving the problem]

Effect of the Invention

[0008] The moisture-curable reactive hot melt adhesive of the present invention has the following advantages: while maintaining good adhesion and melt viscosity, it has a short tack-free time resulting in high curing ability, a high elastic modulus resulting in excellent elasticity and impact resistance, low moisture permeability resulting in less deterioration of the substrate, and suppressed absorption of phthalate esters.

[0042] [Table 1]

[0043] The moisture-curable reactive hot melt adhesives obtained in the above examples were subjected to the following physical property evaluations. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0044] <Melt viscosity> Using a Brookfield viscometer, the moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive was melted at 120°C, and rotation was started at 10 rpm with a measurement temperature of 120°C, spindle No. 29, and the melt viscosity (mPa s) was measured 15 minutes later. Measurements of 30,000 mPa s or less were rated as ◯, and measurements of more than 30,000 mPa s were rated as ×.

[0045] <Tuck free time> The moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive was melted at 120°C and a coating film was produced using an applicator to a thickness of 100 μm. The film was then left to stand at room temperature (23°C) and the time until the tack disappeared when touched with a finger was measured.

[0046] <Adhesiveness> The moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive was melted at 120°C and applied at 80 g / m2 onto an olefin sheet using an applicator. 2 After coating, the sheet was immediately laminated to a wood-based substrate (MDF) and left to harden at room temperature (23°C) for one week. The olefin sheet was then pulled at 180° by peeling and the state of destruction was confirmed.

[0047] <Tensile test> The moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive was melted at 120°C to prepare a sheet with a thickness of 500 μm, which was then left to harden at room temperature (23°C) for one week. After that, it was processed into a dumbbell size No. 8 and the breaking stress (N / mm 2 ), elastic modulus (N / mm 2 ) was measured.

[0048] <Moisture permeability> The moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive was melted at 120°C to prepare a coating film with a thickness of 175 μm, which was then left to stand at room temperature (23°C) for one week to cure. Thereafter, the moisture permeability was measured at 40°C and 90% RH in accordance with JIS Z 0208.

[0049] <Plasticizer resistance> The moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive was melted at 120°C, and a coating film with a thickness of 125 μm was prepared using an applicator, and the coating film was left to harden at room temperature (23°C) for one week. Then, a test piece of 30 mm x 40 mm was prepared, placed in a glass bottle (100 ml) with a lid, and diisononyl phthalate was poured into the bottle until the test piece was completely immersed. After the bottle was closed, the test piece was left to stand in a thermostatic bath (40°C) for one week. The test piece was then removed, and the diisononyl phthalate adhering to the surface was wiped off with a rag, and the weight increase rate was calculated using the following formula. Weight increase rate (%) = (weight after test - weight before test) / weight before test x 100
