Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion and an aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion composition in which a polyurethane resin is dispersed in a mixed medium of an organic solvent and water. The present invention also relates to a method for producing the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion and a film produced from the dispersion. [Background technology]

[0002] Aqueous polyurethane resin dispersions can be used to obtain coating films that have adhesiveness, abrasion resistance, and rubber-like properties, and they also contain less volatile organic compounds than conventional solvent-based polyurethanes, making them an environmentally friendly material that is increasingly replacing solvent-based polyurethanes.

[0003] It is known that the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion and its manufacturing method can maintain drying and thickening properties by using an organic solvent such as dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, etc. It is also known to use ammonia or triethylamine as a low-boiling neutralizing agent (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0004] In addition, an aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion using a specific dialkylaminomethylolalkane compound as a neutralizing agent is known as an aqueous polyurethane dispersion that has excellent dispersibility in water or a mixed medium of organic solvent and water and can keep the viscosity low when the solid content is high (see Patent Document 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-143946 A [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2016 / 163394 [Patent Document 3] JP 2018-62572 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In aqueous polyurethane resin dispersions used in coatings, textile printing inks, and printing inks such as flexographic and gravure printing, it is desirable for them to exhibit excellent coating film properties (adhesion, water resistance, oil resistance, heat resistance, etc.) even at low temperatures and in short drying times, from the viewpoints of energy saving, low cost, and reducing the environmental load. In addition, as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when ammonia or triethylamine is used as a neutralizing agent, it gives off an odor, and therefore further improvement is required in the working environment during the production and use of the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion. Furthermore, the use of the high-boiling point neutralizing agent used in Patent Document 3 may deteriorate the physical properties of the coating film, such as adhesion, water resistance, and abrasion resistance. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to further improve the working environment during the production and use of an aqueous urethane resin dispersion, and to provide an aqueous urethane resin dispersion having excellent water resistance and dispersibility.

[0028] According to the present invention, it is possible to further improve the working environment during the production and use of an aqueous urethane resin dispersion, and to provide an aqueous urethane resin dispersion having water resistance and dispersibility. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0029] The aqueous urethane resin dispersion of the present invention has structural units derived from a polyol compound (Aa), a polyisocyanate compound (Ab), an acidic group-containing polyol (Ac), a neutralizing agent (Ad) and a chain extender (Ae), and contains an organic solvent (Af) and water (Ag). The boiling point of the neutralizing agent (Ad) is 100°C or more and 150°C or less, and the average boiling point of the organic solvent (Af), which is calculated as the sum of the products of the boiling points Tn (°C) of each organic solvent in the organic solvent (Af) and the mass ratio Rn (mass%) of each organic solvent in the total amount of the organic solvent (Af) by the formula: [Σ(Tn×Rn / 100)], is 150°C or more and 180°C or less. Unless otherwise noted, the boiling point means the boiling point under atmospheric pressure.

[0030] When used for printing ink applications, in addition to the issues mentioned above, the drying process requires the substrate to pass through a drying oven while being printed, which means it must be completed in a short time. In particular, when printing on plastic film, drying at high temperatures must be avoided in consideration of the heat resistance of the film, which often results in insufficient drying and causes moisture and solvent to remain in the film, which can easily deteriorate the physical properties of the coating. Furthermore, when a high-boiling neutralizing agent is used, it may remain in the coating film when dried at a low temperature for a short time, and may deteriorate the physical properties of the coating film, such as adhesion, water resistance, and abrasion resistance. In the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion of the present invention, these problems can be solved by using a neutralizing agent or an organic solvent having a boiling point in a specific range and controlling the constituent units.

[0031] <Polyol compound (Aa)> The polyol compound (Aa) used in the present invention has two or more hydroxyl groups in one molecule. This polyol compound (Aa) preferably contains a polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1), and may contain other polyol compounds (Aa2) as optional components. When the polyol compound (Aa) contains the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) or, as an optional component, another polyol compound (Aa2), the dispersibility of the aqueous urethane resin can be improved.

[0032] The polyol compound (Aa) preferably contains 30% by mass or more of the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) based on the total amount of the polyol compound (Aa), more preferably 40% by mass or more, even more preferably 50% by mass or more, and even more preferably 60% by mass or more. The upper limit of the content of the polyol compound (Aa1) is not particularly limited, and it may account for the total amount of the polyol compound (Aa), i.e., 100% by mass.

[0033] The polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) is obtained by reacting one or more polyol components with a carbonate ester or phosgene. From the viewpoints of safety and handling of reagents, etc., it is easy to produce, and there is no by-production of terminal chlorinated products. Therefore, polycarbonate polyols obtained by reacting one or more polyol monomers with a carbonate ester are preferred.

[0034] As the polyol component of the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1), known compounds can be used. For example, aliphatic polyols such as linear aliphatic diols such as 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,7-heptanediol, 1,8-octanediol, and 1,9-nonanediol, branched aliphatic diols such as 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediol, trifunctional or higher polyhydric alcohols such as trimethylolpropane and pentaerythritol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, 1,3-cyclopentanediol, 1,4-cycloheptanediol, 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,4-dioxane, and 2,7-norbornanediol aromatic diols such as 1,4-benzenedimethanol, 1,3-benzenedimethanol, 1,2-benzenedimethanol, 4,4'-naphthalenedimethanol, and 3,4'-naphthalenedimethanol; polyester polyols of hydroxycarboxylic acids and diols, such as polyester polyols of 6-hydroxycaproic acid and hexanediol; polyester polyols of dicarboxylic acids and diols, such as polyester polyols of adipic acid and hexanediol; and polyether polyols such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polytetramethylene glycol. Among these, alicyclic polyols and / or aliphatic polyols are preferred, and aliphatic polyols are more preferred. As the polyol containing an alicyclic structure (for example, an alicyclic polyol or a combination of an alicyclic polyol and an aliphatic polyol), a combination of 1,6-hexanediol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, or a combination of 1,5-pentanediol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is preferred. As the aliphatic polyol, a linear and / or branched aliphatic polyol is preferable, and a linear or branched aliphatic polyol is more preferable. As the linear and / or branched aliphatic polyol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, or 2-methyl-1,3-pentanediol is preferable, and 2-methyl-1,3-pentanediol is more preferable from the viewpoint of the water resistance of the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion.

[0035] The polyol component of the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0036] The carbonate ester is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include aliphatic carbonate esters such as dimethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate; aromatic carbonate esters such as diphenyl carbonate; and cyclic carbonate esters such as ethylene carbonate. In addition, phosgene capable of producing polycarbonate polyol can also be used. Among them, aliphatic carbonate esters are preferred, and dimethyl carbonate is more preferred, from the viewpoint of ease of production of the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1).

[0037] The polyol compound (Aa1) may contain ether bonds or ester bonds in its molecule in a number less than the average number of carbonate bonds in one molecule, as long as the properties of the polycarbonate polyol are not impaired.

[0038] The polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) preferably has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 400 to 5,000. When Mn is 400 or more, the performance as a soft segment is good, and when a coating film is formed, cracks are unlikely to occur. When Mn is 5,000 or less, the reactivity between the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa) and the isocyanate compound (Ab) is not reduced, and problems such as the production process of the urethane prepolymer taking a long time, the reaction not proceeding sufficiently, and the viscosity of the polycarbonate polyol becoming high and difficult to handle do not occur. The Mn of the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) is preferably 500 to 3,500, more preferably 600 to 2,500. In the present invention, Mn is determined by the hydroxyl value and 1 The value is calculated from the quantitative value of the composition by H-NMR or gas chromatography after alkaline hydrolysis.

[0039] The hydroxyl value of the polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) is preferably from 20 to 300 mgKOH / g, more preferably from 30 to 230 mgKOH / g, and even more preferably from 45 to 200 mgKOH / g, from the viewpoint of dispersibility of the aqueous urethane resin.

[0040] A method for producing a polycarbonate polyol compound (Aa1) from a polyol component and a carbonate ester includes, for example, adding a carbonate ester and a polyol in an amount of molar excess relative to the amount of molar excess of the carbonate ester in a reactor, reacting them at a temperature of 160 to 200°C and a pressure of about 50 mmHg for 5 to 6 hours, and then reacting them at a pressure of a few mmHg or less for several hours at 200 to 220°C. In the above reaction, it is preferable to carry out the reaction while removing the by-produced alcohol from the system. In this case, if the carbonate ester is removed from the system by azeotropy with the by-produced alcohol, an excess amount of the carbonate ester may be added. In addition, a catalyst such as titanium tetrabutoxide may be used in the above reaction.

[0041] <Other polyol compounds (Aa2)> The polyol compound (Aa) may contain other polyol compounds (Aa2) other than the polyol compound (Aa1) and the acidic group-containing polyol (Ac) described later. Such other polyol compounds (Aa2) are preferably contained in an amount of less than 70 mass% relative to the total amount of the polyol compound (Aa), more preferably less than 60 mass%, even more preferably less than 50 mass%, and even more preferably less than 40 mass%. Depending on the physical properties required for the aqueous polyurethane resin, the type and amount of the other polyol compounds (Aa2) can be appropriately adjusted by a person skilled in the art within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention, but the other polyol compounds (Aa2) may not be contained in the polyol compound (Aa).

[0042] Other polyol compounds (Aa2) may be known. For example, polyester polyols; polyether polyols such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, random copolymers or block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide or ethylene oxide and butylene oxide; short chain aliphatic diols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, and 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol; alicyclic diols such as 1,4-cyclohexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and hydrogenated bisphenol A; and diols such as bisphenol A, hydroquinone, bishydroxyethoxybenzene, and their alkylene oxide adducts. From the viewpoints of dispersibility of the aqueous urethane resin and hydrolysis resistance of a coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion, it is preferable to use a polyether polyol as the other polyol compound (Aa2), and it is more preferable to use polytetramethylene glycol. The other polyol compound (Aa2) as described above may be a commercially available product or may be prepared separately.

The polyisocyanate compound (Ab) may have a structure that is partially or entirely derivatized by isocyanuration, carbodiimidization, biuretization, or the like.

[0044] Among the above-mentioned polyisocyanate compounds (Ab), from the viewpoint of improving the adhesion of the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion to the substrate, an alicyclic polyisocyanate compound is preferred, from the viewpoints of hardness and breaking energy, isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) or 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (hydrogenated MDI) is more preferred, and from the viewpoint of blocking resistance of the coating film, 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (hydrogenated MDI) is even more preferred. The polyisocyanate compound (Ab) may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0046] <Acidic Group-Containing Polyol (Ac)> The acidic group-containing polyol (Ac) is one that contains two or more hydroxyl groups and one or more acidic groups in one molecule. The acidic group-containing polyol (Ac) may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0047] As the acidic group-containing polyol (Ac), known polyols can be used. For example, dimethylolalkanoic acids such as 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid and 2,2-dimethylolbutanoic acid; N,N-bishydroxyethylglycine, N,N-bishydroxyethylalanine, 3,4-dihydroxybutanesulfonic acid, 3,6-dihydroxy-2-toluenesulfonic acid, etc. are listed.

An Mn of not more than 300 is necessary to increase the cohesive strength of the polyurethane resin, and the use of a piperazine compound or a dihydrazide compound increases the Mn of the polyurethane resin, which is also preferable from the viewpoint of the durability of the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion, and a piperazine compound is more preferable from the viewpoint of the water resistance of the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion.

If the chain extender (Ae) is added in excess of the equivalent of the isocyanato group, the molecular weight of the chain-extended urethane polymer may decrease, causing a decrease in cohesive force, which may result in a decrease in durability of the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion.

[0067] <Organic solvent (Af)> The aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion contains a polyurethane resin, an organic solvent (Af) and water (Ag), and the polyurethane resin is dispersed in a mixed medium of the organic solvent (Af) and the water (Ag).

[0068] The average boiling point of the organic solvent (Af) is from 150° C. to 180° C. The average boiling point is preferably from 165° C. to 175° C.

[0069] The average boiling point of the organic solvent (Af) is calculated as the sum of the products of the boiling points Tn (°C) of each organic solvent in the organic solvent (Af) and the mass ratios Rn (mass%) of each organic solvent in the organic solvent (Af) using the formula: [Σ(Tn × Rn / 100)].

[0070] For example, if there are two types of organic solvents, and the boiling points and masses of the first organic solvent are Ta (℃) and Ma (g), and the second organic solvent is Tb (℃) and Mb (g), respectively, Average boiling point of organic solvent (℃) = Ta × Ma / (Ma + Mb) + Tb × Mb / (Ma + Mb) It can be calculated as follows.

When the value of NCO / OH is within such a range, the water resistance of the coating film tends to be improved.

[0077] (alicyclic structure) The polyurethane resin contained in the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion preferably contains an alicyclic structure from the viewpoint of adhesion to the substrate. The alicyclic structure is not limited in the number of ring members as long as it is an aliphatic ring structure. It is preferable to design it so that it contains a 6-membered ring (cyclohexylene group) because it is easy to obtain as a raw material. The alicyclic structure may be derived from any of the raw materials of polyurethane, but is preferably derived from the polyisocyanate compound (Ab). Examples of the constitutional unit having an alicyclic structure include a diol having an alicyclic structure in the main chain such as 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol as the polyol compound (Aa) or a polycarbonate polyol (Aa1) obtained therefrom, and hydrogenated MDI as the polyisocyanate compound (Ab). The content ratio of the alicyclic structure is calculated based on the entire alicyclic structure contained in each of these constitutional units.

[0078] The content of the alicyclic structure in the polyurethane resin is preferably 20 to 40 mass% based on the solid content, and more preferably 25 to 38 mass%. If the content of the alicyclic structure is less than 20 mass%, the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion becomes significantly sticky, and if the content of the alicyclic structure is more than 40 mass%, the dispersibility tends to deteriorate. The content of the alicyclic structure is calculated from the charging ratio of each raw material of the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion.

By making the weight-average molecular weight 50,000 or more, the coating film can exhibit superior durability.

[0081] (resin ratio) The proportion of the polyurethane resin in the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion is preferably from 5 to 60% by mass, and more preferably from 20 to 50% by mass.

[0082] (Acid value) The acid value of the polyurethane resin is 18 to 35 mgKOH / g, preferably 19 to 32 mgKOH / g, and more preferably 20 to 29 mgKOH / g, based on the solid content, from the viewpoint of dispersibility of the polyurethane resin and water resistance of the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion. If the acid value of the polyurethane resin is greater than 35 mgKOH / g based on the solid content, the water resistance of the coating film obtained from the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion tends to deteriorate. If the acid value is less than 18 mgKOH / g based on the solid content, the dispersibility of the polyurethane resin tends to decrease. The acid value can be measured according to the indicator titration method of JIS K 1557. In the measurement, the neutralizing agent used to neutralize the acidic groups is removed before measurement. For example, when an organic amine is used as the neutralizing agent, the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion is applied onto a glass plate, and the coating film obtained by drying at a temperature of 60°C and a reduced pressure of 20 mmHg for 24 hours is dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), and the acid value can be measured according to the indicator titration method of JIS K 1557.

[0083] <Method for producing aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion> The aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion can be produced by a known method described in WO 2016 / 039396, WO 2016 / 163394, etc. For example, the following production method can be mentioned. The first production method is a method in which all of the raw materials are mixed, reacted, and dispersed in water or a mixed medium of an organic solvent and water to obtain an aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion. The second production method is a method in which all of the polyol components are reacted with a polyisocyanate to produce a prepolymer, the acidic groups of the prepolymer are neutralized, and then the prepolymer is dispersed in water or a mixed medium of an organic solvent and water, and a chain extender is reacted therewith to obtain an aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion. As a method for producing the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion, the above-mentioned second production method is preferred because it is easy to control the molecular weight.

[0084] In particular, in the present invention, the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion can be produced by a method including the following steps (I) to (IV). (I) a step of reacting a polyol compound (Aa), a polyisocyanate compound (Ab) and an acidic group-containing polyol (Ac) in the presence of an organic solvent to obtain a polyurethane prepolymer; (II) mixing the polyurethane prepolymer with water; (III) neutralizing the acidic groups of the polyurethane prepolymer with a neutralizing agent (Ad); and (IV) A step of increasing the molecular weight of the polyurethane prepolymer with a chain extender (Ae).

[0085] Furthermore, the production method of the present invention may include a step (V) in addition to the steps (I) to (IV). (V) A step of mixing the polyurethane prepolymer or the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion with an organic solvent. This step (V) is carried out in the case where the average boiling point of the organic solvent used in step (I) is not 150°C or higher and 180°C or lower, in order to further mix an organic solvent with the polyurethane prepolymer or the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion, and adjust the average boiling point of the organic solvent after mixing to 150°C or higher and 180°C or lower. In addition, even when the average boiling point of the organic solvent used in step (I) is 150° C. or higher and 180° C. or lower, the step (V) may be carried out from the viewpoint of improving dispersion stability, storage stability, ease of production and use, fire resistance, and thickening and drying properties of the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion.

[0086] Therefore, when the average boiling point of the organic solvent (Af) in the aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion of the present invention is 150° C. or higher and 180° C. or lower, it may not be necessary to carry out the step (V). The average boiling point of the organic solvent is calculated including not only the organic solvent used in step (I) but also the organic solvent used in step (V).

[0087] In this production method, the boiling point of the neutralizing agent (Ad) and the average boiling point of the organic solvent (Af) used are the same as described above.
