Abstract
Description
UV-curable polysiloxane composition This invention relates to ultraviolet-curable polysiloxane compositions, and more particularly to ultraviolet-curable polysiloxane compositions whose cured forms are suitable for use in sealing materials such as electronic component sealants, optical component sealants, and adhesives. Polysiloxane (PVC) compositions are used as elastic adhesives, sealants, coatings, and electrical insulating sealants in semiconductor components such as ICs and LSIs, electrical and electronic components that mount these semiconductor components, capacitors, resistors, etc., and optical components such as lenses, mirrors, filters, and prisms. This is because of their excellent heat resistance and the good adhesion and bonding properties they provide to these components. In particular, hydrosilicified UV-curable addition-reaction PVC compositions can be cured by short-term UV irradiation, resulting in excellent manufacturability and good bonding between components, hence their widespread use. As a UV-curable polysiloxane composition, Patent Document 1 discloses a UV-curable organopolysiloxane gel composition for damping materials of objective lens drive devices, which contains in a specific proportion: (A) an organopolysiloxane having an average of 0.1 or more alkenyl groups bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule; (B) an organohydrogen polysiloxane having 2 or more hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms in one molecule; and (C) a photoactive platinum complex curing catalyst, which can serve as a composition that combines the advantages of designing specific polymers with rapid curing under UV irradiation. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses an ultraviolet-curable liquid polysiloxane composition for an image display device, which contains, in a specific proportion: (A) an organopolysiloxane with a viscosity of 50 to 100,000 mPa·s at 25°C and having at least two alkenyl groups in one molecule; (B) a linear organohydrogen polysiloxane, such as an organohydrogen polysiloxane, having hydrogen atoms (Si-H groups) directly bonded to silicon atoms only at both ends of the molecular chain; and (C) one or more photoactive hydrosilylation reaction catalysts selected from a specific group of compounds, and having a specific viscosity. This ultraviolet-curable liquid polysiloxane composition can be cured in a few minutes to tens of minutes under mild temperature conditions below 100°C, and can form a cured product with good mechanical and optical properties. [Previous Technical Documents] [Patent Literature] Patent document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-213132. Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-210351. The ultraviolet-curable polysiloxane compositions disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light. Although they exhibit specific mechanical and optical properties, the composition has poor storage stability. Over time, the viscosity of the composition increases, or the curing properties of the composition change, resulting in unstable quality of the cured product. To address the issue of storage stability, an attempt was made to formulate a two-component composition. However, at this time, the composition containing a photoactive curing catalyst in the first component of the two-component composition showed changes in viscosity and curing properties over time, thus requiring a two-component UV-curable polysiloxane composition to improve storage stability. The purpose of this invention is to provide UV-curable polysiloxane compositions with excellent curability and storage stability. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors focused on alkenyl-containing polyorganosiloxanes and polyorganohydrosiloxanes that constitute UV-curable polysiloxane compositions, and through continuous in-depth research, they discovered that by controlling the alkenyl content in the polyorganosiloxane within a specific range and using a specific polyorganohydrosiloxane, the storage stability of the composition can be improved without compromising curability, thereby completing the present invention.

In this case, the second agent may contain component (A). The two-liquid composition is prepared by mixing the first and second agents during use to produce an ultraviolet-curable polysiloxane composition.

When the first agent and / or the second agent contains powder, it is preferable to perform the mixing operation in the same manner as the one-liquid UV-curable polysiloxane composition. From the viewpoint of spreadability during coating, the viscosity of the UV-curable polysiloxane composition at 23°C is preferably below 100,000 mPa·s, more preferably 50 to 50,000 mPa·s. When the UV-curable polysiloxane composition is a two-component composition consisting of a first agent and a second agent, the viscosity of the first agent and the second agent is preferably 10 to 100,000 mPa·s, more preferably 50 to 50,000 mPa·s, and particularly preferably 100 to 20,000 mPa·s. The UV-curable polysiloxane composition is preferably stored at a temperature below room temperature under light-shielding conditions. The viscosities of the UV-curable polysiloxane composition, the first agent, and the second agent are values measured using a viscoelasticity measuring device and a 25 mm cone plate at a shear rate of 10 / s and at 23°C. <Curing Methods for UV-Curable Polysiloxane Compositions> UV-curable polysiloxane compositions can be cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light. The preferred irradiation dose is 100 to 10,000 mJ / cm². 2 The optimal value is 300 to 6,000 mJ / cm³. 2 Even better is 500 to 5,000 mJ / cm³. 2Furthermore, the irradiation dose is the measured value of UVA. Here, UVA refers to ultraviolet radiation in the range of 315 to 400 nm. The composition exhibits good curing properties when irradiated with ultraviolet light at wavelengths, such as 250 to 450 nm. Examples of ultraviolet light sources emitting this wavelength include high-pressure mercury lamps (UV-7000) and metal halide lamps (UVL-4001M3-N1) manufactured by USHIO Electric Co., Ltd., metal halide lamps (JM-MTL 2KW) manufactured by JMtech Co., Ltd. of South Korea, ultraviolet irradiation lamps (OSBL360) manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Co., Ltd., ultraviolet irradiation machines (UD-20-2) manufactured by GS-YUASA Co., Ltd., fluorescent lamps (FL-20BLB) manufactured by Toshiba Co., Ltd., H valves, H+ valves, V valves, D valves, Q valves and M valves manufactured by Heraeus Co., Ltd., and LED lamps (HLDL-155UV) manufactured by CCS Co., Ltd. The curing time of the composition varies depending on the amount of ultraviolet irradiation, but is generally less than 30 minutes, preferably less than 10 minutes. Curing can be visually assessed, but it can also be quantitatively evaluated by the time until the storage elastic modulus G' equals the loss elastic modulus G', or the time until the storage elastic modulus G' reaches a specific value. For example, if the time for the storage elastic modulus G' to reach 100 Pa at 23°C after ultraviolet irradiation is less than 30 minutes (preferably less than 10 minutes), it can be considered to have a short curing time and excellent processability, and is therefore preferred. Cured UV-curable polysiloxane (UVC) compositions are suitable for use as sealants. Articles using UVC-curable polysiloxane compositions as sealants exhibit excellent water resistance and durability at the bonding surfaces and seals, making them suitable for use as sealants for electronic components, optical components, or as bonding agents. Furthermore, UVC-curable polysiloxane compositions offer excellent shelf life and storage stability. Therefore, they can be used, for example, as adhesives for bonding liquid crystal, plasma, and organic EL image display devices, or as sealants for sealing LED or OLED components.

Examples 2 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 The components (A) to (C) in Example 1 and their doping amounts were changed as shown in Table 1. Otherwise, the liquid-type UV-curable polysiloxane compositions of Examples 2 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. [Table 1] <Determination Method> Viscosity and gelation time were measured under light-shielding conditions. [Viscosity] The viscosity (Pa·s) of the UV-curable polysiloxane composition at 23°C was determined using a viscoelasticity measuring apparatus MCR301 (Anton Paar) with a 25 mm cone plate at a shear rate of 10 / s and a 90-second time. The results are shown in Table 2. [Gel time] For UV-curable polysiloxane compositions, the storage elastic modulus G' before and after UV irradiation was measured over time using a viscoelasticity measuring device MCR301 (manufactured by Anton Paar). The aforementioned viscoelasticity measuring device was used, and an 8mm parallel plate was used at a frequency... 1 The storage elastic modulus G' of the UV-curable polysiloxane composition at 23°C was determined starting at Hz. An illuminance of 100 mW / cm² was used. 2 UV-curable polysiloxane was irradiated with ultraviolet light for 10 seconds (irradiation dose 1,000 mJ / cm). 2 The gelation time was defined as the time from the start of irradiation until the storage elastic modulus G' reached 100 Pa. A shorter gelation time indicates faster curing and is considered superior curing properties. Furthermore, the gelation time was measured up to 60 minutes after the start of UV irradiation; if the storage elastic modulus G' had not reached 100 Pa at this point, the gelation time was considered to be >60 minutes. The results are shown in Table 2. [Maintain stability] In the UV-curable polysiloxane compositions of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the effect of aging treatment on the viscosity and gelation time of the compositions was analyzed. Example 1-1 To prevent ultraviolet light from activating the catalyst, the treatment of component (C) was carried out in a yellow light chamber. Component (C) was then treated with M... Vi D m2 M Vi (2) Dilute to 0.05% by mass. (at M) Vi D m1 M Vi (1) Add 3.4 parts by weight of the diluted solution of the aforementioned component (C) to 100 parts by weight (Component (C): 0.00170 parts by weight, M Vi D m2 M Vi (2): 3.39830 parts by weight) were mixed to obtain the first agent. The first agent was transferred to a light-shielding black resin container and sealed. Component (B) was used directly as the second agent. In the above manner, the liquid-type UV-curable polysiloxane composition of Example 1-1, which is the same as that of Example 1, can be obtained. Examples 2-1 to 6-1 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 3-1 The components (A) to (C) and their doping amounts in Examples 1-1 were changed as shown in Table 1. Otherwise, the liquid-type UV-curable polysiloxane compositions of Examples 2-1 to 6-1 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 3-1 were obtained in the same manner as in Examples 1-1. In the two-liquid UV-curable polysiloxane compositions of Examples 1-1 to 6-1 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 3-1, each light-shielding container containing the first agent was stored in a dryer set at 60°C for 2 weeks for curing. The second agent was added to the first agent after curing, as shown in Table 1, and mixed to obtain the UV-curable polysiloxane composition. The viscosity and gelation time of the resulting compositions were measured. The results are shown in Table 2. Furthermore, the rate of change of viscosity of the composition prepared after the first agent's aging treatment relative to the viscosity of the liquid composition was calculated, as well as the change of gelation time of the composition prepared after the first agent's aging treatment relative to the gelation time of the liquid composition. The results are shown in Table 2. In the table, nd indicates that it cannot be determined. [Table 2] As shown in Table 2, the UV-curable polysiloxane compositions of the examples contain: (A) a polyorganosiloxane having at least one alkenyl group per molecule with an average alkenyl content of 0.3 mmol / g or less; (B) a polyorganohydrosiloxane having at least three hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms per molecule; and (C) a platinum-based catalyst activated by ultraviolet light. These UV-curable polysiloxane compositions exhibit shorter gelation times, excellent curing properties, and less variation in viscosity and gelation time after the first agent is cured, resulting in superior storage stability. In particular, Examples 1 to 3 and 1-1 to 3-1, where the average alkenyl content of component (A) is 0.025 to 0.10 mmol / g, show less variation in gelation time after the first agent is cured, and exhibit shorter gelation times and excellent curing properties regardless of whether curing treatment is performed, thus making them superior. Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and 1-1 to 3-1, which replace component (A) with a polyorganosiloxane having at least one alkenyl group in one molecule and an average alkenyl content of more than 0.3 mmol / g, exhibited greater changes in viscosity and gelation time after the first agent was cured, resulting in poorer storage stability. Furthermore, regardless of whether a curing treatment was performed, the gelation time was longer and the curability was poorer. [Industrial Utilization] Cured UV-curable polysiloxane compositions can be used as sealants for electronic components, optical components, or as bonding materials.
