The polyisocyanate composition (X) relates to a coating film obtained by curing a polyol mixture containing 30±1 mass% of a 15±35 polypropylene triol (wherein the total of the polypropylene diol and the polypropylene triol is 100 mass%) at a molar ratio [NCO] / [OH] of the isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate compound (A) to the hydroxyl groups in the polyol mixture of 1.3±0.1, wherein the coating film has an elongation at break of 30% or more at a tensile speed of 200 mm / min, at 25°C, and at a humidity of 40%.

[0016] As the bifunctional isocyanate used in the synthesis of polyurethane polyol, a non-aromatic diisocyanate or a derivative thereof is preferably used.
[0017] The molecular weight of the polyol used in synthesizing the adduct can be adjusted as appropriate, but is, for example, 50 g / mol or more and 4000 g / mol or less.
[0018] The adduct can be obtained by reacting a non-aromatic diisocyanate with a polyol under conditions in which the isocyanate groups of the isocyanate are in excess relative to the hydroxyl groups of the polyol, and then removing unreacted diisocyanate monomers as necessary. The equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups to hydroxyl groups [NCO] / [hydroxyl group] can be appropriately adjusted, but is, for example, 2.0 to 20.0.
[0019] The polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention may contain a polyisocyanate compound (A2) other than the polyisocyanate compound (A1). Examples of the polyisocyanate compound (A2) include monofunctional or tri- or higher functional polyisocyanate compounds derived from non-aromatic diisocyanates, and polyisocyanate compounds derived from aromatic diisocyanates. From the viewpoint of bag rupture resistance and tearability, the content of the polyisocyanate compound (A2) is 40% by mass or less of the polyisocyanate compound (A). In other words, the content of the polyisocyanate compound (A1) in the polyisocyanate compound (A) is 60% by mass or more. The content of the polyisocyanate compound (A1) in the polyisocyanate compound (A) may be 70% by mass or more, 80% by mass or more, or 90% by mass or more. The polyisocyanate compound (A) does not necessarily contain the polyisocyanate compound (A2).
[0020] The polyisocyanate composition (X) used in the present invention may contain a diisocyanate monomer, i.e., a diisocyanate monomer such as a non-aromatic diisocyanate exemplified as a raw material for the polyisocyanate compound (A1), or an aromatic diisocyanate such as toluene diisocyanate or diphenylmethane diisocyanate. There are concerns about the harmfulness of diisocyanate monomers to the human body, and from the viewpoint of occupational safety and health, the content thereof is preferably 5% by mass or less of the polyisocyanate composition (X), and is also preferably reduced to 0.1% by mass or less.
[0021] From the viewpoint of occupational safety and health, there is a movement to restrict the use of isocyanate monomers, and the European Commission has adopted the REACH regulation, which prohibits the marketing of products containing 0.1% by mass or more of isocyanate monomers unless certain requirements are met. Products that comply with this regulation can be made by removing unreacted diisocyanate monomers until the amount of diisocyanate monomer in the polyisocyanate composition is 0.1% by mass or less.
[0022] The diisocyanate monomer can be removed by distilling the diisocyanate monomer under reduced pressure using a short-path distillation apparatus, a thin-film distillation apparatus, etc. The degree of reduced pressure and the distillation temperature are appropriately adjusted depending on the diisocyanate monomer to be removed, and are, for example, 0.1 mbar or less and 120° C. to 190° C. The diisocyanate monomer removal step may be carried out multiple times.
[0023] The content of diisocyanate monomer can be measured by gas chromatography using an internal standard, for example, in accordance with ASTM D 3432. Alternatively, it can also be measured by liquid chromatography under the following conditions.
[0024] Equipment: Waters Corporation "ACQUITY UPLC H-Class" Data processing: Waters Corporation "Empower-3" Column: Waters Corporation "ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3" (100 mm x 2.1 mmφ, 1.8 μm) 40°C Eluent: Ammonium formate aqueous solution / methanol, 0.3 mL / min Detector: PDA Sample preparation: 1. Dissolve 100 mg of appropriately blocked sample in 10 ml of THF (for LC) 2. Vortex for 30 seconds 3. Dilute appropriately with eluent (mobile phase) 4. Pass through a 0.2 μm filter to prepare the measurement sample. Calculation of area ratio: Calculate using the maximum absorption wavelength for the target substance.

[0039] The amount of the plasticizer (D) to be added can be adjusted appropriately depending on the target viscosity, but, as an example, it is preferable to keep it at 30 mass % or less of the solid content of the polyisocyanate composition (X). The polyisocyanate composition (X) does not necessarily need to contain the plasticizer (D).
[0040] (Elongation at Break) The polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention is prepared by curing a polyol mixture containing 70±1 mass% of a polypropylene diol having a hydroxyl value number-average molecular weight of 415±20 and 30±1 mass% of a polypropylene triol having a number-average molecular weight of 415±35 (wherein the total of the polypropylene diol and the polypropylene triol is 100 mass%) at a molar ratio [NCO] / [OH] of the isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate compound (A) to the hydroxyl groups in the polyol mixture of 1.3±0.1, and forming a coating film having a thickness of 100 μm to 200 μm, the coating film has an elongation at break of 30% or more at a tensile speed of 200 mm / min, at 25°C, and at a humidity of 40%. When such a polyisocyanate composition (X) is used, for example, as one component of an adhesive described below, a flexible coating film can be obtained, and even when used to bond soft substrates such as olefin resins, a laminate can be produced that has excellent adhesion and conformability, as well as excellent bag-breaking resistance and easy tearing properties.
[0041] The elongation at break is measured after aging under conditions of 40°C and 40% humidity, and after the reaction between the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the polyol mixture has been completed. Whether the reaction between the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the polyol mixture has been completed can be determined by infrared absorption spectroscopy. The infrared absorption spectroscopy is measured, and the reaction between the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the polyol mixture is considered to have been completed when no change in the intensity of the absorption peak of the isocyanate group is observed (even if there is a change, it is within the range of measurement error), using as a reference the absorption peak of a wavelength at which absorption does not increase or decrease due to the reaction between the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the polyol mixture.
[0042] Furthermore, the elongation at break depends on the film thickness of the coating film, but there is no particular effect on the measurement results if the thickness is within the range of 100 μm to 200 μm. When the polyisocyanate composition (X) does not contain the solvent (B), the polyisocyanate composition (X) and a polyol mixture are mixed, a coating film of 100 to 200 μm is formed on a film (for example, an untreated CPP film or a Teflon sheet) with an applicator, another film (for example, an untreated CPP film or a Teflon sheet) is placed on the coating film, and after aging at 40°C and a humidity of 40%, the coating film is peeled off from the film to obtain a test specimen.
[0043] When the polyisocyanate composition (X) contains a solvent (B), for example, the polyisocyanate composition (X) and a polyol mixture are mixed, a coating film is formed on a film (e.g., an untreated CPP film or a Teflon sheet) with an applicator to a thickness of 100 to 200 μm, the solvent (B) is volatilized, and the mixture is aged at 40°C and 40% humidity, after which the coating film is peeled off from the film to obtain a test piece. Alternatively, the polyisocyanate composition (X) and a polyol mixture are mixed, poured into a Teflon petri dish, the solvent (B) is volatilized, and the mixture is aged at 40°C and 40% humidity, after which the coating film is removed from the petri dish to obtain a test piece.
[0044] The breaking elongation of the polyisocyanate composition (X) measured under the above conditions can be adjusted, for example, by the structure of the polyisocyanate compound (A1). Alternatively, it can be adjusted by the presence or absence of the plasticizer (D). The breaking elongation of the polyisocyanate composition (X) measured under the above conditions is more preferably 100% or more. The upper limit of the breaking elongation is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 2000%.
[0045] <Two-component curing composition> The polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention can be used as a two-component curing composition in combination with an isocyanate-reactive composition containing a compound reactive with isocyanate.

[0046] Such two-component curing compositions can be used, for example, as adhesives, coating agents, sealants, elastomers, and the like.
[0047] <Two-component curing adhesive> The two-component curing adhesive of the present invention contains the above-described polyisocyanate composition (X) and isocyanate-reactive composition (Y).
[0048] When the adhesive of the present invention is used as a solventless adhesive, the viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) is adjusted to a range suitable for the non-solvent lamination method. For example, the viscosity at 40°C is adjusted to a range of 100 to 20,000 mPas, more preferably 500 to 10,000 mPas. The viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) can be adjusted, for example, by the structure of the polyisocyanate compound (A) or the plasticizer (D). The viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) can be measured, for example, using a rotational viscometer with a cone and plate of 1° x 50 mm diameter and a shear rate of 100 sec. -1, can be measured at 40°C ± 1°C.
[0049] When the adhesive of the present invention is used as a solvent-based adhesive, the viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) can be adjusted by diluting it with the solvent (B).

These compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more. It is preferable to use styrene and p-tert-butylstyrene, which are vinyl compounds having an aromatic ring.
[0105] (Other Components) The adhesive may contain a phosphoric acid derivative (C) and a plasticizer (D). These may be the same as those exemplified above as components of the polyisocyanate composition (X).
[0106] (Form of Adhesive) The two-component curing adhesive of the present invention may be either a solvent-based or solventless type. In this specification, a "solvent-based" adhesive refers to a form used in a so-called dry lamination method, in which the adhesive is applied to a substrate, heated in an oven or the like to volatilize the organic solvent in the coating, and then bonded to another substrate. Either or both of the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) contain an organic solvent capable of dissolving (diluting) the components of the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) used in the present invention.
[0107] Examples of organic solvents include esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, cellosolve acetate, etc., ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc., ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc., aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, etc., halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, etc., dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfamide, etc. The organic solvent used as a reaction medium during production of the components of the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) may also be used as a diluent during coating.
[0108] In this specification, a "solventless" adhesive refers to a form of adhesive in which the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) are substantially free of esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, cellosolve acetate, etc.; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc.; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, etc.; halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, etc.; highly soluble organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfamide, in particular ethyl acetate or methyl ethyl ketone; and which is used in a method in which the adhesive is applied to a substrate and then bonded to another substrate without going through a step of heating in an oven or the like to volatilize the solvent, i.e., a so-called non-solvent lamination method. If the organic solvent used as a reaction medium during the production of the components of polyisocyanate composition (X) or isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) or the raw materials thereof cannot be completely removed, and trace amounts of organic solvent remain in polyisocyanate composition (X) or isocyanate-reactive composition (Y), it is considered to be substantially free of organic solvent. Furthermore, if isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) contains a low-molecular-weight alcohol, the low-molecular-weight alcohol reacts with polyisocyanate composition (X) to become part of the coating film, and therefore does not need to be volatilized after coating. Therefore, such a form is also treated as a solventless adhesive, and the low-molecular-weight alcohol is not considered an organic solvent.
[0109] Generally, solvent-free adhesives are required to be able to be applied at a thickness of several micrometers under relatively low temperature conditions (approximately 40 to 50°C) without diluting with an organic solvent, and the molecular weight of the components must be smaller than that of the components of solvent-based adhesives. As a result, the cured coating film of the adhesive has a high urethane bond concentration and is relatively hard. Packaging materials produced using such adhesives tend to be prone to tearing. However, the adhesive of the present invention has excellent extensibility in the cured coating film, and can provide laminates and packaging materials with excellent tearing resistance even when used in a solvent-free form, so it is also preferable to use it as a solvent-free adhesive.
[0110] The two-component curing adhesive of the present invention is preferably used by blending the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) so that the ratio [NCO] / [isocyanate-reactive functional group] of the number of moles of isocyanate groups [NCO] to the number of moles of functional groups reactive with isocyanate [isocyanate-reactive functional group] is 0.5 to 5.0, more preferably 1.0 to 3.0. This allows for appropriate curing properties to be obtained without depending on the environmental humidity at the time of application.
[0111] In the two-component curing adhesive of the present invention, in order to fully utilize the physical properties of the polyisocyanate composition (X), the solids mass ratio of the polyisocyanate composition (X) to the polyol composition (Y) is preferably 0.5:10 to 100:10, and more preferably 0.5:10 to 60:10. This ensures that the cured coating film of the adhesive of the present invention has excellent elongation, and laminates produced using the adhesive of the present invention have excellent bag rupture resistance and easy tearing properties, for example.
[0112] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by mixing the polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention with the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) to prepare a coating agent, which is then applied to a substrate and cured. Alternatively, the laminate can be obtained by a two-liquid mixing process in which the polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) are mixed in advance to prepare an adhesive, which is then applied to a first substrate, and then a second substrate is laminated on the coated surface and cured to form an adhesive layer; or by a two-liquid separate coating process in which the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) are separately applied to a first substrate and a second substrate, and then the coated surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate are brought into contact and pressed together to laminate the first substrate and the second substrate, and the adhesive layer is cured to form an adhesive layer. There are no particular restrictions on the substrate used, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the application.
[0113] Examples of films for food packaging include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films, polystyrene films, polyamide films, polyacrylonitrile films, polyethylene films (LLDPE: low-density polyethylene film, HDPE: high-density polyethylene film, MDOPE: uniaxially oriented polyethylene film, BOPE: biaxially oriented polyethylene film), polypropylene films (CPP: unoriented polypropylene film, OPP: biaxially oriented polypropylene film), barrier heat-sealable films in which an olefin-based heat-sealable resin layer is provided on one or both sides of a resin having barrier properties such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, cyclic polyolefin resin, or cyclic olefin copolymer, polyolefin films such as white polyethylene film, polyvinyl alcohol film, and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer film.
[0114] It is also preferable to use a film made of a material containing biomass-derived components. Biomass films are commercially available from various companies, and for example, sheets such as those listed in the list of biomass-certified products listed by the Japan Organics Resources Association can be used.
[0115] Specifically, well-known films are made from biomass-derived ethylene glycol. Biomass-derived ethylene glycol is made from ethanol (biomass ethanol) produced from biomass as a raw material. For example, biomass-derived ethylene glycol can be obtained by converting biomass ethanol into ethylene oxide by a conventionally known method to produce ethylene glycol. Alternatively, commercially available biomass ethylene glycol may be used; for example, biomass ethylene glycol commercially available from India Glycoal Limited can be suitably used.
[0116] Alternatively, products using biomass raw materials classified by the biomass plastic content specified in ISO 16620 or ASTM D6866 are also on the market. Radioactive carbon-14C exists in the atmosphere at a rate of 1 in 1012 particles, and this rate is the same for atmospheric carbon dioxide, so this rate remains the same even in plants that fix this carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Therefore, the carbon in plant-derived resins contains radioactive carbon-14C. In contrast, the carbon in fossil fuel-derived resins contains almost no radioactive carbon-14C. Therefore, by measuring the concentration of radioactive carbon-14C in the resin using an accelerator mass spectrometer, the plant-derived resin content in the resin, i.e., the biomass plastic content, can be determined. Examples of plant-derived low-density polyethylene, which is a biomass plastic having a biomass plastic content of 80% or more, preferably 90% or more as specified by ISO 16620 or ASTM D6866, include products manufactured by Braskem under the trade names "SBC818," "SPB608," "SBF0323HC," "STN7006," "SEB853," and "SPB681," and films using these as raw materials can be suitably used.
[0117] The film may be one that has been subjected to a stretching treatment. A typical stretching method involves melt-extruding a resin into a sheet using an extrusion film-forming method or the like, followed by simultaneous biaxial stretching or sequential biaxial stretching. In the case of sequential biaxial stretching, it is common to first perform longitudinal stretching and then transverse stretching. Specifically, a method that combines longitudinal stretching utilizing the speed difference between rolls and transverse stretching using a tenter is often used.
[0118] The film surface may be subjected to various surface treatments such as flame treatment and corona discharge treatment as necessary so that an adhesive layer without defects such as film breakage or repellency is formed.
[0119] Alternatively, a film laminated with a vapor-deposited layer of a metal such as aluminum or a metal oxide such as silica or alumina, or a barrier film containing a gas barrier layer of polyvinyl alcohol, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, vinylidene chloride, etc. Use of such a film can provide a laminate with barrier properties against water vapor, oxygen, alcohol, inert gases, volatile organic compounds (fragrances), etc.
[0120] The paper can be made from any known paper base material without any particular limitations.
