Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition, an adhesive, and synthetic leather. [Background technology]

[0002] Synthetic leather generally uses polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPO), etc. as its surface material, and these surface materials are bonded to a base fabric such as cloth or nonwoven fabric with an adhesive (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Among these, solvent-based adhesives have been widely used and commonly used until now, but as part of environmental efforts, local communities, countries, and companies are calling for a reduction in VOCs, making it necessary to replace solvent-based adhesives with water-based or solvent-free adhesives.

[0003] On the other hand, synthetic leathers used in vehicle interiors and indoor furniture are required to be flame-retardant for fire prevention purposes, but the level of flexibility required at low temperatures is also increasing in anticipation of use in cold regions. However, a material that combines all of these properties has yet to be found. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2008-514403 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition that is excellent in adhesiveness, low-temperature flexibility, and flame retardancy. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition containing a hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) having an isocyanate group and a flame retardant (B), wherein the hot-melt prepolymer (A) is made from a polyol (a) containing 50 mass% or more of a polyether polyol (a1), and the content of the flame retardant (B) is more than 15 mass parts per 100 mass parts of the hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A).

[0007] The present invention also provides an adhesive containing the moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition, and a synthetic leather having at least a thermoplastic resin layer and the adhesive layer. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition of the present invention has excellent adhesiveness, low-temperature flexibility, and flame retardancy, and is therefore particularly suitable for use in the production of synthetic leather using a thermoplastic resin as a skin material. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition of the present invention contains a hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) having an isocyanate group, which is made from a specific polyol (a), and a specific amount of a flame retardant (B).

[0010] In order to obtain excellent low-temperature flexibility, the hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) having isocyanate groups must be made from a polyol (a) containing 50% by mass or more of a polyether polyol (a1). By designing the adhesive in this manner, the glass transition temperature of the adhesive can be lowered, resulting in excellent low-temperature flexibility. The amount of the polyether polyol (a1) used is preferably 50 to 90% by mass, more preferably 55 to 70% by mass, of the polyol (a), in order to obtain even better low-temperature flexibility.

[0011] Examples of the polyether polyol (a1) that can be used include polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol, polyoxyethylene polyoxytetramethylene glycol, and polyoxypropylene polyoxytetramethylene glycol. These polyols may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, polypropylene glycol and / or polytetramethylene glycol are preferred because they provide even better low-temperature flexibility, and polytetramethylene glycol is more preferred because they provide even better heat resistance and moist heat resistance. Plant-derived polyether polyols may also be used. Examples of commercially available plant-derived polyether polyols include "Bio PTMG" manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, "Bio PTG" manufactured by Hodogaya Chemical Co., Ltd., and biomass polypropylene glycol manufactured by Vithal Castor Polyols.

[0012] As the polyol (a), other polyols can be used in combination with the polyether polyol (a). Examples of the other polyols that can be used include commercially available polyols such as polyester polyols, polycarbonate polyols, polybutadiene polyols, silicone diols, and acrylic diols. These polyols can be used alone or in combination of two or more, and may be derived from petroleum or plants. As the other polyols, polyester polyols are preferred because they provide even better adhesiveness.

[0013] The number average molecular weight of the polyol (a) is preferably 500 to 10,000, more preferably 1,000 to 6,000, from the viewpoint of obtaining even better adhesiveness, low-temperature flexibility, and mechanical strength. The number average molecular weight of the polyol (a) is a value measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

[0014] The hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) having an isocyanate group can be, for example, a reaction product of the polyol (a) and the polyisocyanate (b).

[0015] Examples of the polyisocyanate (b) include aromatic polyisocyanates such as polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, carbodiimide-modified diphenylmethane diisocyanate isocyanate, phenylene diisocyanate, tolylene diisocyanate, and naphthalene diisocyanate; and aliphatic or alicyclic polyisocyanates such as hexamethylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate, cyclohexane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, and tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate. These polyisocyanates may be used alone or in combination of two or more, and may be derived from petroleum or plants. Among these, aromatic polyisocyanates are preferred, and diphenylmethane diisocyanate is more preferred, because they provide superior reactivity and adhesion.

[0016] The hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) has isocyanate groups at the polymer terminals or within the molecule, which can react with moisture present in the air or in the substrate or adherend to which the urethane prepolymer is applied to form a crosslinked structure.

[0017] The hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) can be produced, for example, by adding the polyol (a) dropwise to a reaction vessel containing the polyisocyanate (b), followed by heating and reacting under conditions in which the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate (b) are in excess relative to the hydroxyl groups of the polyol (a).

[0018] When the polyol (a) and the polyisocyanate (b) are reacted, the molar ratio [NCO / OH] of the hydroxyl groups in the polyol (a) to the isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate (b) is preferably 1.3 to 2.5, more preferably 1.5 to 2.0, in order to obtain even better hot-melt properties, adhesive properties, and low-temperature flexibility.

[0019] The isocyanate group content (hereinafter abbreviated as "NCO%") of the hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) is preferably 1.2 to 5.0 mass%, more preferably 1.7 to 3.5 mass%, in order to obtain even better hot-melt properties, adhesiveness, and low-temperature flexibility. The NCO% of the hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) is a value measured by potentiometric titration in accordance with JIS K1603-1:2007.

[0020] The flame retardant (B) is an essential component for obtaining excellent flame retardancy, and its content must be more than 15 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A). The content of the flame retardant (B) is preferably 17.5 to 55 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) in order to maintain high levels of low-temperature flexibility and adhesiveness and obtain even better flame retardancy.

[0021] Examples of the flame retardant (B) that can be used include phosphate esters, phosphate-containing flame retardants, red phosphorus, bromine-containing flame retardants, boron-containing flame retardants, antimony-containing flame retardants, metal hydroxides, graphite, phosphorus-boron compounds, and vinyl polymers. These flame retardants may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, phosphate esters having three or more aromatic rings are preferred, and phosphate esters having four or more aromatic rings are more preferred, in that they maintain high levels of low-temperature flexibility and adhesiveness and provide even better flame retardancy.

[0022] The moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition of the present invention contains the hot-melt urethane prepolymer (A) and the flame retardant (B) as essential components, and may contain other additives as needed.

[0023] Examples of the other additives that can be used include urethanization catalysts, neutralizing agents, crosslinking agents, silane coupling agents, thickeners, fillers, thixotropy-imparting agents, tackifiers, waxes, heat stabilizers, light resistance stabilizers, fluorescent brighteners, foaming agents, pigments, dyes, conductivity-imparting agents, antistatic agents, moisture permeability improvers, water repellents, oil repellents, hollow foams, water absorbents, moisture absorbents, deodorizers, foam stabilizers, plasticizers, antiblocking agents, hydrolysis inhibitors, etc. These additives may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0024] As described above, the moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition of the present invention has excellent adhesiveness, low-temperature flexibility, and flame retardancy, and is therefore particularly suitable for use in the production of synthetic leather using a thermoplastic resin as a skin material.

[0025] Next, the synthetic leather of the present invention will be described.

[0026] The synthetic leather has at least a thermoplastic resin layer and an adhesive layer containing the moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition, and is, for example, made by sequentially laminating a substrate, the adhesive layer, and a thermoplastic resin layer.

[0027] Examples of the substrate that can be used include nonwoven fabrics, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and the like made of polyester fibers, polyethylene fibers, nylon fibers, acrylic fibers, polyurethane fibers, acetate fibers, rayon fibers, polylactic acid fibers, cotton, hemp, silk, wool, glass fibers, carbon fibers, and blends thereof.

[0028] The thermoplastic resin layer can be formed from, for example, known polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinylidene chloride, polystyrene, TPO (Thermoplastic Olefinic Elastomer), thermoplastic ester elastomer, thermoplastic polyurethane, etc. In the present invention, even when polyvinyl chloride, TPO, thermoplastic ester elastomer, or thermoplastic polyurethane is used as the thermoplastic resin, the layer has excellent adhesion and low-temperature flexibility, and in particular, when polyvinyl chloride, which is difficult to adhere to, is used, the layer has excellent adhesion and low-temperature flexibility whether it is foamed or unfoamed.

[0029] The adhesive layer is formed from the moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition of the present invention. Examples of a method for forming the adhesive layer include a method in which the moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt resin composition is melted at 100 to 140°C, and then coated onto the thermoplastic resin layer or the substrate using a coater method such as a roll coater, spray coater, T-die coater, knife coater, or comma coater; a precision method such as a dispenser, inkjet printing, screen printing, or offset printing; or a nozzle coater, and then the layers are bonded together.

[0030] After the two tufts are bonded together with the adhesive, the adhesive can be dried and cured as needed using a known method.

[0031] The synthetic leather may further have a surface treatment layer formed on the thermoplastic resin layer, which may be formed from, for example, a known solvent-based urethane resin, water-based urethane resin, solvent-based acrylic resin, water-based acrylic resin, or the like. [Example]
