Description

Isocyanate composition, optical lens containing the same, and method for storing the isocyanate composition using the same

[0001] The present invention relates to an isocyanate composition, an optical lens comprising the same, and a method for storing an isocyanate composition using the same.

[0002]

[0003] Isocyanate compounds are raw materials for polyurethane, widely used in coatings, adhesives, paints, foams, and optical materials. In fields requiring superior appearance properties, particularly optical applications requiring transparency, polyurethanes require minimal discoloration. To achieve this, it is crucial that not only does the polyurethane polymer resist discoloration during the polyurethane reaction, but also that the raw isocyanate compounds themselves, particularly those with higher than difunctionality, remain discoloration-free.

[0004] However, since isocyanate compounds are highly reactive, they are easily oxidized by oxygen in the air during the storage process, or they form self-polymers, causing deterioration or discoloration. There was also a problem of discoloration or clouding occurring in optical products such as urethane lenses that applied them.

[0005] To this end, various methods have been studied and proposed to suppress discoloration in isocyanate compounds and products manufactured using them, such as sealing with nitrogen gas to block air and storing in a refrigerator, or storing by adding additives such as ultraviolet absorbers.

[0006] However, in order to use an isocyanate compound, it must be moved from the storage location to the atmospheric environment. During this process, the isocyanate compound may discolor or become cloudy depending on changes in the moisture content or temperature of the atmosphere. If an isocyanate compound that has discolored or become cloudy is used to manufacture optical lenses, there is a problem that the clarity is reduced, resulting in a deterioration in quality.

[0007] Additionally, there are difficulties in ensuring long-term storage stability of isocyanate compounds.

[0008]

[0009] The present invention has been devised to overcome the above-described problems, and provides an isocyanate composition having excellent storage stability even when a diisocyanate compound is stored for a long period of time by including a specific compound, an optical lens including the same, and a method for storing an isocyanate composition using the same.

[0010] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an isocyanate composition with improved clarity, an optical lens including the same, and a method for storing the isocyanate composition using the same.

[0011] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an isocyanate composition capable of producing a polyurethane resin having excellent thermal stability using the isocyanate composition, an optical lens including the same, and a method for storing the isocyanate composition using the same.

[0012] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an isocyanate composition capable of manufacturing a transparent optical material (e.g., an optical lens) that is not only less likely to cause defects but also has improved yellowness (YI), an optical lens comprising the same, and a method for storing an isocyanate composition using the same.

[0080]

[0081] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0082] Various methods have been studied and proposed to suppress discoloration in existing isocyanate compounds and products manufactured using them, such as sealing them with nitrogen gas to block air and storing them in a refrigerator, or storing them using additives such as ultraviolet absorbers. However, in order to use isocyanate compounds, they must be moved from their storage location to the open air.

[0156] The non-foam resin of the present invention is a resin that does not have a foam shape, and can be used as a coating agent, an adhesive, a sealant, or an elastomer, but is not limited thereto.

[0157] As a specific example, the non-foaming resin of the present invention may be a reaction product of the isocyanate composition of the present invention and an active hydrogen group-containing component. The active hydrogen group-containing component may include a polyol component (a component mainly containing a polyol having two or more hydroxyl groups), a polythiol component (a component mainly containing a polythiol having two or more mercapto groups (thiol groups)), a polyamine component (a compound mainly containing a polyamine having two or more amino groups), etc., and a preferred example of the active hydrogen group-containing component may be a raw material required for producing a polyurethane resin.

[0158] Meanwhile, the non-foam resin of the present invention used for coating, adhesive, sealant or elastomer may be a raw material used in the manufacture of automobiles, ships, flexible packaging, food packaging, construction, paints, inks, solar cells, microcapsules, adhesives for displays, optical materials and fuel cells, but is not limited thereto.

[0159]

[0160] Furthermore, a method for producing the isocyanate composition of the present invention described above will be described as an example as follows.

[0161] The isocyanate composition is synthesized by reacting an amine compound with phosgene in a solvent.

[0162] Solvents that can be used in the above phosgenation reaction include aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene; chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as monochlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene; and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride. Two or more of these can be used in combination.

[0163] The amine compound used in the above phosgenation reaction may be, for example, an amine compound obtained by hydrogenating a nitro compound or a chloride thereof. Specifically, the amine compound may be at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,4-tetramethylene diamine, 1,5-pentamethylene diamine, 1,6-hexamethylene diamine, 1,3-cyclohexylene diamine, 1,4-cyclohexylene diamine, isophorone diamine, diamine, methylenediphenyl diamine, methylenedicyclohexyl diamine, toluene diamine, m-xylylene diamine, p-xylylene diamine, and o-xylylene diamine, and salts thereof, and preferably m-xylylene diamine, p-xylylene diamine, o-xylylene diamine, or a salt thereof.

[0164] The above amine compound may be included in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the solvent. If the content of the amine compound exceeds 20 parts by weight, there is a risk of precipitation of a large amount of the amine compound. Preferably, the content may be included in an amount of 1 to 15 parts by weight or 3 to 10 parts by weight.

[0165] Specifically, the phosgenation reaction can be carried out by a direct phosgenation method (Method 1) in which an amine compound is directly reacted with phosgene; a method in which an amine compound is reacted with anhydrous hydrochloric acid to form an amine-hydrochloride compound and then the formed salt is reacted with phosgene (Method 2); or a method in which an amine compound is reacted with carbonic acid to form an aliphatic amine-carbonate compound and then the formed salt is reacted with phosgene (Method 3).

[0166] The direct phosgenation method of the above method 1 can be performed by reacting an amine compound and phosgene in the above organic solvent. At this time, the phosgene can be introduced all at once at the beginning of the reaction, or can be introduced in part at the beginning of the reaction and the remainder can be introduced in installments during the reaction.

[0167] Meanwhile, the above method 1 can be performed by a first step of dissolving a portion of phosgene in the solvent and then adding the amine compound; and a second step of adding the remaining phosgene after the addition of the amine compound is complete and causing a reaction. At this time, the first step is preferably performed at a temperature of -15°C to -10°C to prevent leakage of highly toxic phosgene and also to prevent rapid heat generation when the amine compound is added, and the phosgenation reaction in the second step can be controlled to 120°C to 140°C so that the reaction can occur at an appropriate reaction rate without concern for decomposition of the amine compound.

[0168] In the case of the above method 2, it can be carried out by a step of reacting an amine compound with hydrochloric acid in an organic solvent to form an amine-hydrochloride compound, and then introducing phosgene to cause the reaction. The formation of the amine-hydrochloride compound can be carried out at a temperature of 30°C or lower, preferably at a temperature of about 23±5°C, and the reaction after the introduction of phosgene can be controlled to 120°C to 140°C. When carried out under such temperature conditions, the solubility of the amine-hydrochloride compound can be increased, and thermal decomposition of the isocyanate can be prevented, thereby producing a high-purity isocyanate compound in high yield.

[0169] In the case of the above method 3, it can be carried out by a step of reacting an amine compound with carbonic acid in a solvent to form an amine-carbonate compound, and then introducing phosgene to cause the reaction. At this time, the formation of the amine-carbonate compound can be carried out at a temperature of 30°C or lower, preferably about 23±5°C, and the reaction after the introduction of phosgene can be controlled to 80°C to 180°C. Preferably, it can be in the range of 100°C or higher, or 120°C or higher, and 150°C or lower, or 140°C or lower. When carried out under such temperature conditions, the solubility of the amine-carbonate compound is increased, and thermal decomposition of the isocyanate is prevented, thereby producing a high-purity isocyanate compound in a high yield.

[0170] After the reaction with phosgene is completed according to each method, a removal process such as nitrogen bubbling for unreacted phosgene and hydrogen chloride gas and a solvent removal process such as distillation may be optionally further performed, and these processes may be performed according to a conventional method.
