Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions. [Background technology]

[0002] Adhesive compositions containing 2-cyanoacrylate compounds have the unique anionic polymerization property of 2-cyanoacrylate compounds, which initiate polymerization with weak anions, such as traces of moisture, adhering to the surface of the adherend, enabling them to firmly bond various materials in a short period of time. For this reason, they are used as so-called instant adhesives in a wide range of fields, including industrial, medical, and household applications.

[0003] For example, Japanese Patent No. 5267571 proposes an adhesive composition containing a 2-cyanoacrylic acid ester and a polyfunctional cyanoacrylic acid ester having two or more 2-cyanoacryloyl groups, in which the number average molecular weight of the (b) polyfunctional cyanoacrylic acid ester is 1,000 to 50,000, and the amount of the (b) polyfunctional cyanoacrylic acid ester is 1 part by mass to 400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the 2-cyanoacrylic acid ester. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Adhesive compositions containing 2-cyanoacrylate compounds have the problem that the cured product is hard and brittle and has no crosslinked structure, so while they have excellent shear bond strength, they have low peel bond strength. In recent years, adhesive compositions are required to have excellent peel bond strength when cured against various materials, for example, excellent peel bond strength against rubbers such as ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM).

[0005] The present inventors have found that the adhesive composition disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 5267571 leaves room for improvement in terms of peel adhesive strength of the cured product to rubber.

[0011] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition that exhibits an excellent increase in peel adhesive strength of the cured product to rubbers such as EPDM. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present disclosure will be described in detail. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. In the following embodiments, components (including element steps, etc.) are not essential unless otherwise specified. The same applies to numerical values ​​and their ranges, and do not limit the present disclosure.

[0013] In the present disclosure, numerical ranges indicated using "to" include the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In the numerical ranges described in stages in the present disclosure, the upper or lower limit value described in one numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit value of another numerical range described in stages. Furthermore, in the numerical ranges described in the present disclosure, the upper or lower limit value of the numerical range may be replaced with the value shown in the synthesis examples. Also, in the present disclosure, a combination of two or more preferred embodiments is a more preferred embodiment.

[0014] (2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition) The 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition of the present disclosure contains a 2-cyanoacrylate compound and a polyfunctional cyanoacrylate compound, and the cured product obtained by homopolymerizing the 2-cyanoacrylate compound has a storage modulus of 1.0 × 10 at 25°C. 7 Pa or less.

[0015] As a result of extensive research, the inventors have found that by adopting the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to provide a 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition that exhibits an excellent increase in the peel adhesion strength of the cured product relative to rubbers such as EPDM. The mechanism of action of this excellent effect is not clear, but is presumed as follows. The storage modulus of the homopolymerized cured product of the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition at 25°C is 1.0 × 10 7 By including a 2-cyanoacrylate compound (hereinafter, a cured product obtained by homopolymerizing a 2-cyanoacrylate compound) having a viscosity of 100 Pa or less (hereinafter, a cured product obtained by homopolymerizing a 2-cyanoacrylate compound is also referred to as a homopolymer) and a polyfunctional cyanoacrylate compound, the entropy elasticity of the cured product of the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition of the present disclosure (hereinafter, simply referred to as the cured product) is improved, and therefore, it is presumed that the peel adhesion strength and its rate of increase of the cured product to rubbers such as EPDM are improved.

[0016] <2-cyanoacrylate compounds> The 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition of the present disclosure has a storage modulus at 25°C of 1.0 × 10 7 The 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition of the present disclosure may contain two or more types of the specific 2-cyanoacrylate compounds. The storage modulus of the homopolymerized cured product of the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition at 25°C is 1.0 × 10 7 The elongation recovery rate of the cured product tends to be improved by containing a 2-cyanoacrylate compound (hereinafter, a cured product obtained by homopolymerizing a 2-cyanoacrylate compound is also referred to as a homopolymer) having a viscosity of 100 Pa or less and a polyfunctional cyanoacrylate compound. This is presumably because the entropy elasticity of the cured product of the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition of the present disclosure (hereinafter, simply referred to as the cured product) is improved, which promotes deformation of the cured product to its pre-elongation state and improves the elongation recovery rate of the cured product.

[0017] From the viewpoint of the increase rate of peel adhesive strength of the cured product to rubbers such as EPDM and the elongation recovery rate of the cured product, the storage modulus of the homopolymer at 25°C is 9.0 × 10 6It is preferable that the pressure is 0.01 Pa or less. The lower limit of the storage modulus of the homopolymer at 25°C is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 1.0 × 10 4 It can be set to Pa or more.

[0018] In the present disclosure, the storage modulus of a cured product obtained by homopolymerizing a specific 2-cyanoacrylate compound is measured as follows. The 2-cyanoacrylate compound is injected between the tools of a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device coated with triethanolamine, and then the storage modulus is measured using the dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device under the conditions of a frequency of 1 Hz, a temperature of 25°C, and a thickness of 300 μm. Once it is confirmed that there is no change in the storage modulus of the 2-cyanoacrylate compound, this is taken as a cured product of the 2-cyanoacrylate compound. Next, using the above cured product, the storage modulus of the cured product is measured by shear in the range of -50°C to 150°C under conditions of a frequency of 1 Hz, a temperature rise rate of 2°C / min, and a relative humidity of 50%, and the storage modulus of the cured product at 25°C is determined. As the dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device, an MCR301 manufactured by Anton Paar or a device of the same level can be used.

[0019] From the viewpoint of the rate of increase in peel adhesive strength of the cured product against rubbers such as EPDM and the elongation recovery rate of the cured product, the temperature at which the maximum value of the loss tangent (tanδ(max)) of the cured product obtained by homopolymerizing the specific 2-cyanoacrylate compound is exhibited is preferably 65°C or lower, more preferably 55°C or lower, even more preferably 45°C or lower, and particularly preferably 40°C or lower. The lower limit of the temperature is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, −20° C. or higher.

[0020] In the present disclosure, the temperature at which the loss tangent of a specific 2-cyanoacrylate compound exhibits a maximum value is measured as follows. A specific 2-cyanoacrylate compound is injected between the tools of a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device coated with triethanolamine, and then the storage modulus is measured using the dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device under the conditions of a frequency of 1 Hz, a temperature of 25°C, and a thickness of 300 μm. After confirming that the storage modulus of the specific 2-cyanoacrylate compound has ceased to change, this is designated as a cured product of the specific 2-cyanoacrylate compound. Using the cured product, a dynamic viscoelastic spectrum is obtained in the range of -50°C to 150°C under conditions of a frequency of 1 Hz and a heating rate of 2°C / min, and the temperature at which the loss tangent (tanδ) reaches its maximum is measured. If two or more peaks are observed, the loss tangent (tanδ) of the largest peak is designated as the maximum value. The dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device that can be used is as described above.

[0069] The increase in peel adhesion strength (As1a) of the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition produced in Example 1 to an EPDM substrate (As2a) of the adhesive composition produced in Comparative Example 11 to an EPDM substrate (As1a) was calculated as 270% ((As1a-As2a / As2a) x 100). The increase in peel adhesion strength was calculated in the same manner as above from the peel adhesion strength of the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions produced in Examples 2 to 7 to an EPDM substrate and the peel adhesion strength of the adhesive composition produced in Comparative Example 11 to an EPDM substrate, and the results were 242%, 247%, 201%, 278%, 163%, and 156%, respectively.

[0070] From the above, it can be seen that the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions produced in the examples have an excellent rate of increase in peel adhesive strength to rubbers such as EPDM. The increase rate of peel adhesive strength for each example and comparative example is summarized in Table 1. In addition, Comparative Examples 1, 6, 11, and 12, which are the standards for peel adhesive strength, are all recorded as "1" in Table 1. In addition, for Comparative Examples 4 and 5, no increase in peel adhesive strength was observed, and therefore, they are entered as "-" in Table 1.

[0071] <Evaluation of elongation recovery rate> A silicone rubber mold frame with a thickness of 1 mm was placed on a release polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film (manufactured by Teijin Film Solutions Co., Ltd., product name "Purex (registered trademark) A31"). 1 μL of triethanolamine was added to 1 g of the adhesive composition produced in the above Examples and Comparative Examples, and after stirring, the mixture was poured into the above mold. After pouring the adhesive composition, the mold and the adhesive composition were covered with the above-mentioned release PET film, which had been prepared separately, and sandwiched between glass plates. The mixture was then left to stand at 25°C and a relative humidity of 50% for 24 hours to allow it to harden completely. After curing, the mold and release PET film were removed to obtain a cured product measuring 5 mm in width, 50 mm in length, and 1 mm in thickness.

[0072] Using a tensile testing machine (manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho, product name "Strograph V20-C"), the cured product was fixed at a jig distance of 20 mm (L0), and the jig fixing positions were marked. The cured product was then pulled at a tensile speed of 20 mm / min until the jig distance reached 40 mm (L1). After the jig was released, the length (L2) between the marks was measured 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 30 minutes later, and the elongation recovery rate (%) was calculated using the following formula. The calculation results are shown in Table 1. Elongation recovery rate (%): {(L1-L2) / (L1-L0)}×100

[0074] Table 1 shows that the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions produced in the Examples have superior peel bond strength and peel bond strength increase rate to rubbers such as EPDM compared to the adhesive compositions produced in the Comparative Examples. It also shows that the 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions produced in the Examples have superior elongation recovery rate of the cured product compared to the adhesive compositions produced in the Comparative Examples.
