Description

Curable resin composition

[0001] The present invention relates to a curable resin composition.

[0002] Hot melt adhesives have traditionally been used in fields such as building materials, automotive interior materials, and electrical component assembly because they can bond in a short time and do not contain solvents. For example, automotive interior materials (ceilings, doors, seats, etc.) are composed of molded products and skin materials. Polyolefin molded products (polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.) are mainly used as the molded products, and polyolefin skin materials are mainly used as the skin materials. Automotive interior materials are produced by bonding these molded products and skin materials with hot melt adhesives using methods such as press bonding and vacuum forming.

[0003] Curable resin compositions are widely used as materials for hot melt adhesives (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Patent Document 1 describes a curable resin composition comprising a styrene block copolymer graft-polymerized with an acrylic monomer, and a silane coupling agent blended therein. Patent Document 2 describes a curable resin composition comprising a reaction product of a modified polyolefin resin modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid and / or a derivative thereof, and a compound having a functional group reactive with the modified polyolefin resin and a reactive silyl group.

[0005] However, when the curable resin composition described in Patent Document 1 is applied to a substrate, its high viscosity causes problems with coatability. The curable resin composition described in Patent Document 2 has a problem of poor heat creep resistance. It has also been found that adding a low-viscosity component to improve coatability reduces adhesive strength, heat creep resistance, and the like.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a curable resin composition that has excellent coatability in a molten state, and excellent heat creep resistance and adhesive strength after a curing reaction.

[0007] As a result of intensive research aimed at solving the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that a curable resin composition having the following properties has excellent coatability in a molten state, and excellent heat creep resistance and adhesive strength after a curing reaction, and have thus completed the present invention.

[0008] The present invention encompasses, for example, the subject matter described in the following items: Item 1. A curable resin composition containing a modified polyolefin A, a modified polyolefin B, and at least one of an organic polymer C and a tackifier D, wherein the modified polyolefin A has a chemical structure obtained by grafting a moisture-curable functional group onto polyolefin a, the modified polyolefin B has a chemical structure obtained by grafting a moisture-curable functional group onto polyolefin b, the organic polymer C is an unmodified polyolefin-based copolymer having a melt viscosity of 3 Pa s or less at 170°C, and the tackifier D is a hydrocarbon-based resin having a softening point of 100 to 150°C.

[0009] The curable resin composition of the present invention exhibits excellent coatability in a molten state, and excellent heat creep resistance and adhesive strength after the curing reaction.

[0011] Hereinafter, a curable resin composition according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following, the notation "to" indicating a numerical range means "less than" or "exceeding," unless otherwise specified. In other words, "A to B" means "A or more and B or less."

[0012] <Curable Resin Composition> The curable resin composition of the present invention is a curable resin composition containing modified polyolefin A, modified polyolefin B, and at least one of organic polymer C and tackifier D. The curable resin composition of the present invention may further contain a moisture-cure-accelerating component E, a diluent, a wax, an antioxidant, etc. The curable resin composition of the present invention can be produced by melt-kneading the constituent components, and may be cooled and solidified to form granules or powder, or may be dissolved or dispersed in a solvent to form a liquid.

[0013] <Modified Polyolefin A and Modified Polyolefin B> The modified polyolefin A in the present invention has a chemical structure obtained by grafting a moisture-curable functional group onto polyolefin a. The modified polyolefin B in the present invention has a chemical structure obtained by grafting a moisture-curable functional group onto polyolefin b. The chemical structure obtained by grafting refers to the chemical structure in a grafted state, and for example, modified polyolefin A can also be expressed as "a chemical structure in which a moisture-curable functional group is grafted onto polyolefin a."

[0014] Examples of the polyolefin a or the polyolefin b include homopolymers of α-olefins polymerized from monomer components such as ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, isobutene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-octadecene, and 1-eicosene; copolymers of ethylene with α-olefins other than ethylene, such as ethylene-propylene copolymers, ethylene-propylene-butylene copolymers, and ethylene-propylene-isobutylene copolymers; Examples of the polyolefin-based polymer include copolymers of α-olefins with other monomers copolymerizable with α-olefins (for example, conjugated or non-conjugated dienes such as butadiene, 1,4-hexadiene, 7-methyl-1,6-octadiene, 1,8-nonadiene, and 1,9-decadiene; cyclic olefins such as cyclopropene, cyclobutene, cyclopentene, cyclohexene, norbornene, and dicyclopentadiene); copolymers of isobutylene and isoprene; polychloroprene; polyisoprene; copolymers of isoprene or butadiene with acrylonitrile and / or styrene; and polybutadiene. Among the polyolefin-based polymers described above, in the present invention, from the viewpoint of the adhesion of the curable resin composition to polyolefins and the like, preferred are propylene homopolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, ethylene-propylene-butylene copolymers, and ethylene-propylene-isobutylene copolymers, with propylene homopolymers being more preferred.

[0015] The polyolefin a is preferably a polypropylene-based polymer, and more preferably a homopolypropylene. The melting point of the polyolefin a is preferably 100 to 190°C, more preferably 120 to 170°C, and even more preferably 130 to 160°C. The glass transition temperature of the polyolefin a is preferably -20 to 5°C, more preferably -15 to 0°C, and even more preferably -10 to 0°C. The melt viscosity of the polyolefin a at 140°C is preferably 20 Pa·s or less (20,000 cps or less), more preferably 15 Pa·s or less (15,000 cps or less), and even more preferably 10 Pa·s or less (10,000 cps or less), with a lower limit of about 1 Pa·s (about 1,000 cps), although this is not critical. The polyolefin a preferably satisfies two or more of the above-mentioned composition, melting point, glass transition temperature, and melt viscosity ranges, and more preferably satisfies all of them.

[0016] The polyolefin b is particularly preferably an ethylene-butylene-propylene copolymer. The melting point of the polyolefin b is preferably 100 to 190°C, more preferably 130 to 170°C, and even more preferably 120 to 150°C. The glass transition temperature of the polyolefin b is preferably -20 to 20°C, more preferably -20 to 15°C, and even more preferably -20 to -10°C. The polyolefin b preferably satisfies two or more of the above-mentioned composition, melting point, and glass transition temperature ranges, and more preferably satisfies all of them.

[0017] The modified polyolefin A and the modified polyolefin B can be produced by known methods. For example, they can be produced by grafting moisture-curable functional groups onto the polyolefin a and the polyolefin b in the presence of a radical initiator or by electron beam irradiation. The grafting reaction may be carried out on the polyolefin a and the polyolefin b individually, or on a mixture of the polyolefin a and the polyolefin b. Examples of the radical initiator include peroxide initiators such as dicumyl peroxide, t-butylperoxyisopropyl carbonate, di-t-butyl peroxide, t-butyl perbenzoate, benzoyl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroctoate, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane, lauryl peroxide, t-butyl peracetate, t-butyl-α-cumyl peroxide, and di-t-butyl peroxide. Examples of the radical initiator include dicumyl peroxide, di-t-amyl peroxide, t-amyl peroxybenzoate, 1,1-bis(t-butylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, α,α'-bis(t-butylperoxy)-1,3-diisopropylbenzene, α,α'-bis(t-butylperoxy)-1,4-diisopropylbenzene, 2,5-bis(t-butylperoxy)-2,5-dimethylhexane, and 2,5-bis(t-butylperoxy)-2,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne. These radical initiators can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, dicumyl peroxide and t-butylperoxyisopropyl carbonate are preferred.

[0018] Examples of moisture-curable functional groups used in the synthesis of modified polyolefin A and modified polyolefin B include an isocyanate group and a hydrolyzable silyl group. During the synthesis, a compound having a moisture-curable functional group is grafted onto the polyolefin a and the polyolefin b, and a silane-modified monomer containing a hydrolyzable silyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated group can be suitably used as the compound from the viewpoint of reactivity control. Such a silane-modified monomer can be, for example, a compound represented by the following formula (1): X n R 3-n -Si-Y (1) (wherein Y is an ethylenically unsaturated group, X is a hydrolyzable silyl group, R is an alkyl group, and n is an integer of 1 to 3).

[0019] Examples of the hydrolyzable group in the above formula (1) include halogen, alkoxy groups, alkenyloxy groups, acyloxy groups, amino groups, aminooxy groups, oxime groups, and amide groups. The alkoxy group is preferably a methoxy group. The number of these hydrolyzable groups bonded to one silicon atom is selected from the range of 1, 2, and 3. The number of hydrolyzable groups bonded to one silicon atom may be one or more. Furthermore, a hydrolyzable group and a non-hydrolyzable group may be bonded to one silicon atom. As the hydrolyzable group bonded to the silicon group, an alkoxy group (such as a monoalkoxy group, a dialkoxy group, or a trialkoxy group) is preferred because of its ease of handling. In the above formula (1), n ​​is preferably 3. Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated group contained in the silane-modified monomer include a vinyl group, an aryl group, an acrylic group, and a methacrylic group. Preferred silane-modified monomers having an ethylenically unsaturated group include vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, phenyltrimethoxysilane, and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane.

[0020] The amount of radical initiator used in producing modified polyolefin A and modified polyolefin B is preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.75 to 8 parts by mass, and even more preferably 1 to 5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of polyolefin a and polyolefin b (or the amount of that polyolefin when only one of them is used as a raw material). When the amount of radical initiator is 0.5 parts by mass or more, the graft reaction proceeds sufficiently, improving the room temperature adhesive strength, adhesive strength in a high-temperature environment, and creep properties of the cured curable resin composition or hot-melt adhesive using the curable resin composition. When the amount of radical initiator is 10 parts by mass or less, side reactions such as homopolymerization of the silane-modified monomer or decomposition reaction of the polyolefin are suppressed.

[0021] The amount of silane-modified monomer used in producing modified polyolefin A and modified polyolefin B is preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.75 to 8 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 1 to 8 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of polyolefin a and polyolefin b (or the amount of that polyolefin when only one of them is used as a raw material). When the amount of silane-modified monomer used is 0.5 parts by mass or more, the graft polymerization reaction proceeds sufficiently, and the heat creep resistance and adhesive strength after aging of the curable resin composition and hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition are further improved. When the amount of silane-modified monomer used is 10 parts by mass or less, side reactions such as homopolymerization of the silane-modified monomer and decomposition reaction of polyolefin a are further suppressed.

[0022] The melt viscosity of the modified polyolefin A at 140°C is preferably 35 Pa s or less, more preferably 25 Pa s or less, even more preferably 15 Pa s or less, and most preferably 10 Pa s or less, with a lower limit of about 1 Pa s, although not critical. When the melt viscosity of the modified polyolefin A at 140°C is 35 Pa s or less, the curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition can be easily applied to an adherend.

[0023] The melt viscosity of the curable resin composition of the present invention containing the modified polyolefin A and the modified polyolefin B is preferably 35 Pa s or less, more preferably 34 Pa s or less, and even more preferably 33 Pa s or less, with a non-limiting lower limit of about 30 Pa s. When the melt viscosity of the curable resin composition at 140°C is 35 Pa s or less, the curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition can be easily applied to an adherend.

[0024] The melt viscosity of the modified polyolefin A and the curable resin composition containing the modified polyolefin A is a value measured using a Brookfield DVNXRVTJG viscometer. The measurement conditions and determination method were as follows. 11 g of sample was placed in the measurement chamber of a Brookfield DVNXRVTJG viscometer, the sample was heated to 200°C to melt, and then cooled to 140°C, and the viscosity was measured in accordance with the melt viscosity test method for hot melt adhesives of JIS K6862. The spindle No. 27 was used for the measurement, and the rotation speed was set to 5 rpm.

[0025] The melting point (Tm) of the modified polyolefin A is preferably 120°C to 170°C, more preferably 130°C to 160°C. When the melting point of the modified polyolefin A is 120°C or higher, the adhesive strength at around room temperature and in a high-temperature environment of the curable resin composition or the hot-melt adhesive using the curable resin composition cured under any environment, and the creep properties in a high-temperature environment are improved. When the melting point of the modified polyolefin A is 170°C or lower, the curable resin composition and the hot-melt adhesive using the curable resin composition can be applied without affecting the adherend.

[0026] The melting point (Tm) of the modified polyolefin B is preferably 120°C to 170°C, more preferably 120°C to 150°C. When the melting point of the modified polyolefin B is 120°C or higher, the adhesive strength at around room temperature and in a high-temperature environment of the curable resin composition or the hot-melt adhesive using the curable resin composition cured under any environment, and the creep properties in a high-temperature environment are improved. When the melting point of the modified polyolefin B is 170°C or lower, the curable resin composition and the hot-melt adhesive using the curable resin composition can be applied without affecting the adherend.

[0027] The melting points (Tm) of modified polyolefin A and modified polyolefin B were determined by DSC measurement using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC, for example, DuPont V4.OB2000). The measurement conditions and determination method were as follows: 10 mg of a sample was heated from 25°C to 200°C at a rate of 25°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere, held at 200°C for 5 minutes, and then cooled to 25°C at a rate of 25°C / min. The sample was then heated from 25°C to 200°C at a rate of 25°C / min. The melting point (Tm) was determined as the peak top of the endothermic peak observed at the highest temperature side of the heat of fusion absorption curve detected during this heating process.

[0028] The modified polyolefin A and the modified polyolefin B may or may not have an observable glass transition point. When a glass transition point is observable, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is preferably 15° C. or lower, more preferably −20° C. to 10° C. When the glass transition temperature of the modified polyolefin A and the modified polyolefin B is 15° C. or lower, they do not become too hard even in a low-temperature environment, and can maintain adhesion to a substrate.

[0029] The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of modified polyolefin A and modified polyolefin B were determined from the temperature dependence of dynamic viscoelasticity. The measurement conditions and determination method were as follows. Using a "DVA-200" manufactured by IT Measurement & Control Co., Ltd., the storage modulus (E') and loss modulus (E'') were measured at a sample thickness of approximately 0.5 mm, attachment mode: tension-compression mode, frequency: 10 Hz, temperature: -100°C to 200°C, and heating rate: 4°C / min, and the loss tangent (tan δ) was calculated. The peak top temperature of the loss tangent tan δ (loss modulus E'' / storage modulus E') in the dynamic viscoelasticity measurement was taken as the glass transition temperature (Tg) [°C].

[0030] The number average molecular weight of the modified polyolefin A is preferably 2,000 to 10,000, more preferably 4,000 to 6,000. When the number average molecular weight of the modified polyolefin A is 2,000 or more, the adhesive strength at room temperature and in a high-temperature environment of the cured curable resin composition or the hot-melt adhesive using the curable resin composition, as well as the creep properties in a high-temperature environment, are improved. When the number average molecular weight of the modified polyolefin A is 10,000 or less, the curable resin composition and the hot-melt adhesive using the curable resin composition can be easily applied to an adherend.

[0031] The number average molecular weight of the modified polyolefin B is preferably 50,000 to 100,000, more preferably 80,000 to 100,000. When the number average molecular weight of the modified polyolefin B is 50,000 or more, the room temperature adhesive strength and adhesive strength in a high temperature environment, as well as creep characteristics, of the cured curable resin composition or hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition are improved. When the number average molecular weight of the modified polyolefin B is 100,000 or less, the curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition can be easily applied to an adherend.

[0032] The number average molecular weights of Modified Polyolefin A and Modified Polyolefin B are polystyrene-equivalent values ​​determined by GPC (gel permeation chromatography, in accordance with DIN 55 672). The measurement conditions and determination method were as follows: GPC measurement device: HLC-8321GPC / HT (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) Column: Waters Styragel HT3,4,6E Detector: RI Solvent: ortho-dichlorobenzene (containing 0.5 mg / mL of butylated hydroxyltoluene) Measurement temperature: 140°C Flow rate: 0.3 mL / min Sample concentration: 1.2 to 1.7 mg / mL Injection volume: 200 μL Analysis program: GPC data processing system (TOSOH)

[0033] It is preferable that polyolefin b and / or modified polyolefin B have a controlled nanocrystalline structure. Polyolefin b is preferably a thermoplastic polyolefin-based elastomer in which the crystalline / amorphous structure of the polymer is controlled on the nano-order, and the crystals have a network structure on the nano-order. Suitable examples include, but are not limited to, TAFMER (registered trademark) PN-2070, PN-3560, PN-2060, and PN-20300 manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. The nanocrystalline structure-controlled polyolefin resin of the present invention has a crystal size controlled on the nano-order, whereas conventional polyolefins have a crystal size on the micron order. Therefore, compared to conventional polyolefin resins, it is often superior in transparency, heat resistance, flexibility, rubber elasticity, and the like. In the present invention, since modified polyolefin B has a controlled nanocrystalline structure, the flexibility of the resulting curable resin composition and hot melt adhesives using the curable resin composition at low temperatures (0°C) is significantly improved. By improving flexibility at low temperatures, the adhesive surface is less likely to peel when the hot melt adhesive cools and solidifies during the bonding process and when the bonded body is used in a cold environment. On the other hand, when a polyolefin resin without a controlled nanocrystalline structure is used, the flexibility of the resulting curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition at low temperatures (0°C) is poor, and the adhesive surface is more likely to peel.

[0034] The breaking elongation at low temperature (0°C) of the resulting curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition in an uncured state is not particularly limited, but is preferably 300% or more, more preferably 350% or more, and even more preferably 400% or more. When the breaking elongation is 300% or more, the hot melt adhesive tends to be difficult to peel at the bonding surface during the process of cooling and solidifying in the bonding step.

[0035] The breaking elongation at low temperature (0°C) after curing and aging of the resulting curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition is not particularly limited, but is preferably 200% or more, more preferably 250% or more, and even more preferably 300% or more. When the breaking elongation is 200% or more, the bonded body tends to be less likely to peel at the adhesive surface when used in a cold environment.

[0036] The content of modified polyolefin B is preferably 5 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably 7 to 13 parts by mass, and even more preferably 9 to 11 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of modified polyolefin A. Within this content range, the flexibility of the curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition in a low-temperature environment is improved. Furthermore, the adhesive strength at room temperature and in a high-temperature environment, as well as the creep properties in a high-temperature environment, of the cured curable resin composition or the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition are improved.

[0037] <Organic Polymer C> The curable resin composition of the present invention contains at least one of organic polymer C and tackifier D. Here, organic polymer C is an unmodified polyolefin copolymer having a melt viscosity of 3 Pa s or less at 170°C. Specific examples of the unmodified polyolefin polymer include ethylene-propylene copolymer, polybutene, polybutadiene, and poly(α-olefin). Of these, ethylene-propylene copolymer is preferred.

[0038] The melt viscosity of the organic polymer C at 170°C is 3 Pa s or less, preferably 2 Pa s or less, more preferably 1 Pa s or less, and even more preferably 0.5 Pa s or less. When the melt viscosity of the organic polymer C at 170°C is 3 Pa s or less, the application of the curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition to an adherend can be further facilitated, and the adhesion to the adherend can be improved.

[0039] The organic polymer C is preferably contained in an amount of 5 to 45 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 45 parts by mass, and even more preferably 10 to 25 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of the modified polyolefin A and the modified polyolefin B.

[0040] The organic polymer C is preferably, but not limited to, a liquid at room temperature. Being a liquid at room temperature means being a liquid at 23° C. By satisfying this condition, the adhesiveness between the curable resin composition and the hot melt adhesive using the curable resin composition and the adherend can be further improved.

[0041] Examples of commercially available organic polymer C include "Licocene PPA 330 TP" manufactured by Clariant K.K., some brands of "Lucant" manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., and some brands of "Nippon Oil Polybutene" manufactured by ENEOS Corporation (all of which are trade names).

[0042] <Tackifier D> The curable resin composition of the present invention contains at least one of organic polymer C and tackifier D. Here, tackifier D is a hydrocarbon-based resin having a softening point of 100 to 150°C. Examples of such hydrocarbon-based resins include alicyclic hydrocarbon resins; mixed modified aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon resins; terpenes, modified terpenes, and hydrogenated versions thereof; natural rosin, modified rosin, rosin esters, and hydrogenated versions thereof; low-molecular-weight polylactic acid, and mixtures thereof. Among these, hydrogenated alicyclic hydrocarbon resins are preferred. The use of tackifier D can improve the adhesion of the curable resin composition and hot-melt adhesives using the curable resin composition to an adherend.

[0043] The softening point of the tackifier D refers to the ring and ball softening point specified in ASTM method E28-58T. The softening point of the tackifier D is 100 to 150°C, preferably 120 to 150°C, and more preferably 130 to 150°C.

[0044] The tackifier D is preferably contained in an amount of 5 to 45 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 35 parts by mass, and even more preferably 10 to 25 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total of the modified polyolefin A and the modified polyolefin B.

Preferred examples of the moisture-cure accelerator component E include, but are not limited to, acid-modified polyolefin EA, a rosin compound EB having an acid functional group, and a moisture-cure catalyst EC. The moisture-cure accelerator component E may be used alone or in combination of two or more types. Among these, in the case of acid-modified polyolefin EA and / or a rosin compound EB having an acid functional group, it is preferable that the moisture-cure accelerator C has an acid functional group and satisfies at least one of a melting point of 70 to 100°C and a softening point of 100 to 140°C.

[0047] The acid-modified polyolefin EA is preferably, but not limited to, one obtained by grafting at least one of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and its acid anhydride onto a polyolefin resin. Polyolefin resin refers to a polymer primarily composed of a hydrocarbon skeleton, such as a homopolymer of an olefin monomer, exemplified by ethylene, propylene, butene, butadiene, isoprene, etc., or a copolymer with other monomers, or a hydrogenated or halogenated version of the above homopolymer or copolymer.

A weight was placed on the edge of the adhesive surface of the obtained measurement sample so that a 100g load was applied vertically (Figure 2). After 24 hours in a temperature environment of 90°C, 100°C, 110°C, 120°C, or 130°C, a peel length of less than 10 mm was evaluated as "Good" and a peel length of 10 mm or more was evaluated as "Poor."

[0079] 4) Measurement of Breaking Elongation Using a 500 μm thick spacer, modified polyolefin composition X or modified polyolefin Y was pressurized and formed into a film under conditions of 10 MPa for 30 seconds in a 140°C environment, to obtain a film sample. The obtained film sample was cut into a width of 10 mm and a length of 50 mm. Of the cut samples, those derived from modified polyolefin composition X were used as is, while those derived from modified polyolefin Y were cured in 60°C hot water for 7 days and then aged in a 23°C, 50% RH environment for 1 day.
