Description

Rubber molded products

[0001] This technology relates to molded rubber products.

[0002] Traditionally, rubber has been considered superior as a sealing material for containers or devices used in pharmaceutical and medical applications due to its airtight properties. Historically, natural rubber was widely used, while synthetic rubber is more common today. However, when rubber used in containers or devices comes into contact with chemicals (which may be liquids, solids, gases, or combinations thereof), problems specific to rubber can occur, such as the leaching of rubber components. For this reason, rubber molded products containing a fluororesin film layer and rubber material, in which a chemically inert fluororesin film is used on part or all of the surface of the rubber molded product, are widely available on the market.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a composite rubber molded body for pharmaceuticals in which a fluororesin film is laminated to the surface, wherein on the surface of the composite rubber molded body, the proportion of fluorine is 40% or more of the total 100% of the three elements carbon, oxygen, and fluorine, or the fluorine / carbon element ratio (F / C) is 0.8 or more, and the b* in the L*a*b* color system is 2.0 or less.

[0006] Furthermore, during the manufacturing of rubber molded products, the resin film layer may tear or peel, resulting in poor moldability during production. In recent years, when sterilized rubber molded products are distributed to the market, electron beam sterilization is sometimes used instead of high-pressure steam sterilization to sterilize them after sealing them in packaging containers. Therefore, there is a demand for rubber molded products that can withstand electron beam sterilization. The inventors of this invention have attempted to provide a rubber molded product that has good gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance, as well as good moldability during production, even when a non-fluorine-based resin film is used on the surface of the rubber molded product.

[0007] Therefore, the main objective of this technology is to provide a rubber molded product that has good gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance, as well as good moldability during manufacturing.

[0008] As a result of diligent research, the inventors of the present invention have discovered that by using a non-fluorine resin film having specific conditions and providing it as a non-fluorine resin film layer on the surface of a rubber molded product, it is possible to provide a rubber molded product that has good gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance, as well as good moldability during manufacturing, and have thus completed the present invention.

[0009] This technology can provide a rubber molded product comprising a non-fluorinated resin film layer, wherein the ratio of the elongation in the TD direction to the elongation in the MD direction (TD / MD) of the non-fluorinated resin film before lamination is 0.80 or more and 1.20 or less. Furthermore, the elongation in the MD direction of the non-fluorinated resin film before lamination may be 150% or more and 450% or less, and the elongation in the TD direction may be 150% or more and 450% or less. Also, the tensile strength in the MD direction of the non-fluorinated resin film before lamination may be 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, and the tensile strength in the TD direction may be 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, and / or the ratio of the tensile strength in the TD direction to the tensile strength in the MD direction (TD / MD) may be 0.80 or more and 1.00 or less. Furthermore, the non-fluorinated resin may be one or more selected from polyaryletherketone resin and polyamide resin. Furthermore, the rubber may be selected from butyl rubber and chlorinated butyl rubber.

The chart shows the measurement results (XRD patterns) of the low-crystallinity PAEK resin (PEEK resin) film shown in the upper section and the low-crystallinity PA resin (PACM-12 resin) film shown in the lower section, as measured by an X-ray diffractometer (vertical axis: intensity (counts), horizontal axis: diffraction angle (2θ (°))).

[0082] In the XRD method, the crystallinity can be calculated from the chart of the raw material film obtained using an X-ray diffractometer. Based on the calculated crystallinity, it is preferable to determine the crystallinity of the raw material film.

[0083] The degree of crystallinity using the XRD method is calculated by substituting the area of ​​a predetermined diffraction peak and the area of ​​the amorphous region into the following equation (Equation 1). The predetermined diffraction peak is the diffraction peak originating from the crystals of the raw material film, and the area of ​​the predetermined diffraction peak is the sum of the areas of the diffraction peaks originating from the crystals of the raw material film. The area of ​​the amorphous region is the area of ​​the peaks originating from the amorphous (amorphous) material of the raw material film.

The degree of crystallinity of the raw material film calculated using XRD is not particularly limited, but a suitable upper limit is preferably 30% or less, more preferably 25% or less, even more preferably 20% or less, 10% or less, 5% or less, or 3% or less.

[0089] 1-3-4-2. Calculation of crystallization energy or degree of crystallinity and determination of crystallinity using the DSC method.

[0090] In the DSC method, the crystallization energy or degree of crystallinity can be calculated from a chart of the raw material film obtained using a differential scanning calorimeter. It is preferable to determine the crystallinity of the raw material film based on the calculated crystallization energy or degree of crystallinity.

[0091] The crystallization energy using the DSC method is calculated by determining the area of ​​the exothermic peak originating from the crystallization of the raw material film, and then dividing this area by the weight of the sample (raw material film).

[0092] The degree of crystallinity using the DSC method is calculated by substituting the crystallization energy mentioned above, as well as the melting energy and the melting energy of a perfect crystal, into the following equation (Equation 2). The melting energy is calculated by determining the area of ​​the melting peak originating from the melting of the raw material film and dividing the calculated area by the weight of the sample (raw material film). Normally, the melting energy is a negative value, but when calculating the degree of crystallinity, the absolute value of the melting energy is used. The melting energy of a perfect crystal can be cited, for example, from Non-Patent Document 1 (M. Doumeng et al., Polymer Testing, 93 (2021), Article 106878, 2021:1-10).

[0093]

In this specification, a PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film having the above-mentioned crystallinity energy or degree of crystallinity is determined to be a low-crystallinity PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film. In this specification, a PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film having a crystallinity energy less than 1 J / g, or a PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film for which crystallinity energy cannot be calculated (no exothermic peak is detected) is determined to be a high-crystallinity PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film.

[0096] 1-3-5. Leaching Resistance of Raw Material Film The raw material film used in this technology is preferably a resin film having specific elution resistance. If a rubber molded product exhibits excellent elution resistance, it can be determined that the raw material film used is a film having specific elution resistance. The raw material film and the rubber molded product formed using the rubber material can be used as samples to perform an evaluation based on a general elution test (18th edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Method for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test). Evaluation items include, for example, one or more selected from pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing substance, foaming, and properties (the test solution is colorless and clear, and no foreign matter is visible to the naked eye). The more items there are, the better from the viewpoint of evaluating elution resistance. Of these, it is preferable to include at least the pH value as an evaluation item from the viewpoint of elution resistance. Then, using the sample, if it conforms to the standards specified in each evaluation item described above (18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Method for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test), it can be judged as passing, and if it does not conform, it can be judged as failing. Those judged as passing can be said to have elution resistance. Furthermore, it is preferable that the rubber molded product laminated with a non-fluorine resin film and the raw material film used therein have a relatively good evaluation when compared with the evaluation of the rubber molded product laminated with ETFE. In this case, it is desirable to use the same materials (rubber material) and manufacturing method as the raw material film.

[0097] 1-3-6. Electron beam resistance of raw material film. The raw material film used in this technology is preferably a resin film having a specific electron beam resistance. If a rubber molded product has excellent electron beam resistance, it can be determined that the raw material film used at that time is a film having a specific electron beam resistance.

[0098] Using raw material films and rubber molded products formed from rubber materials as samples, the electron beam-irradiated samples can be evaluated based on a general elution test (18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement 7.03, Test Method for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test). If the electron beam resistance of the rubber molded product is excellent, it can be determined that the raw material film used is a film with specific electron beam resistance. As evaluation items, the evaluation items listed in "1-3-5. Leaching Resistance of Raw Material Films" above can be appropriately adopted, and one or more of these may be selected. The more items there are, the more preferable it is from the viewpoint of electron beam resistance evaluation, and it is preferable to include at least the pH value as an evaluation item from the viewpoint of electron beam resistance. Then, using the electron beam-irradiated sample, if it conforms to the standards specified in each evaluation item described above (18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement 7.03, Test Method for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test), it can be judged as passing, and if it does not conform, it can be judged as failing. Furthermore, even if the electron beam-irradiated sample is judged to conform to the standard, if the evaluation results of the electron beam-irradiated sample are compared with the evaluation results of the unirradiated sample and the evaluation results of the electron beam-irradiated sample are worse, it can be determined that the sample (in other words, the raw material film) has deteriorated due to electron beam irradiation. When evaluating the unirradiated sample, the evaluation can be carried out in the same manner as the evaluation items described above, except that the electron beam-irradiated sample is replaced with the unirradiated sample. Regarding electron beam resistance, for relative evaluation by comparison with the evaluation of rubber molded products laminated with ETFE, the content of the relative evaluation described in "1-3-5. Leaching Resistance of Raw Material Film" above may be appropriately adopted, and rubber molded products and raw material films used therein that have a good relative evaluation are preferred.

The rubber molded articles are preferably applied as sealing materials for containers or devices that come into contact with chemicals. The situations in which chemicals come into contact with the articles are not particularly limited, but include use and storage. The chemicals may be liquids, solids, gases, or combinations of one or more selected from these (e.g., a liquid layer and a gas layer, a solid layer and a gas layer). Furthermore, the rubber molded articles are preferably applied to seal containers for storing pharmaceuticals and other drugs. The rubber molded articles relating to this technology are not particularly limited, but include, for example, rubber stoppers for sealing containers and gaskets provided at the tip of a plunger in a syringe to prevent leakage. Furthermore, examples of rubber molded articles include rubber stoppers, gaskets, nozzle caps, cylinder caps, and inner stoppers, and one or more of these can be used. Furthermore, the film layer included in the rubber molded product preferably directly or indirectly covers the bare surface of the rubber substrate (part or all of the legs or top surface) and is positioned on the surface of the rubber molded product.

[0101] 2. Method for Manufacturing Rubber Molded Articles The rubber molded articles according to this technology can be manufactured by known manufacturing methods using a raw material film and raw material rubber (rubber material). Known manufacturing methods are not particularly limited, but examples include a method of coating the raw material rubber with a raw material film; a method of coating (applying, etc.) the raw material rubber with the resin raw material of the film. The raw material rubber (rubber material) may also be in the form of a sheet. To improve the adhesion between the raw material film and the rubber substrate, surface treatment may be applied to the surface of the raw material film and / or rubber substrate before molding. The surface to be surface-treated is preferably the surface in contact with the raw material film and the rubber substrate, and it is preferable to surface-treat either one or both, and more preferably the raw material film. The surface treatment method is not particularly limited, but for example, one or more known methods selected from chemical treatment methods, corona discharge methods, etching methods such as sputtering and plasma treatment can be used. Of these, etching methods such as sputtering and plasma treatment are preferred from the viewpoint of avoiding discoloration of the treated surface, simplifying equipment, and product control. This technology can utilize known rubber mold molding methods, such as direct pressure molding (compression molding) and injection molding (transfer molding), of which one or more can be selected, with compression molding being preferred. This technology provides a method for manufacturing rubber molded products by processing raw material film and raw material rubber using a mold, and compression molding may be performed by applying pressure and heat for a predetermined time during processing.

[0102] The manufacturing of rubber molded articles using this technology, in which a raw material film is directly or indirectly coated onto the raw surface of a rubber substrate, can utilize known compression molding. Known compression molding methods include, for example, compression molding in which the lower part (sometimes referred to as the leg portion) and upper part (sometimes referred to as the top surface portion) of a rubber molded article are molded simultaneously, or compression molding in which the lower part and upper part of a rubber molded article are molded in stages. An example of compression molding in which the lower part and upper part of a rubber molded article are molded simultaneously is the compression molding disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-131874).

[0103] 2-1. Compression molding, a method for gradually molding the lower and upper parts of a rubber molded product.

[0104] This technology can provide a compression molding method for molding the lower and upper parts of a rubber molded product in stages. An example of such compression molding is the compression molding disclosed in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-272134).

[0105] In this compression molding process, a first mold is used to form the lower part of the rubber molded product. The raw material film and the sheet-like rubber material that forms the rubber base are pressurized and heated, thereby forming a primary molded product in which only the lower part of the rubber molded product is formed. The manufacturing conditions using the first mold are not particularly limited, but may be appropriately changed depending on the type of raw material film and rubber material. The heating temperature is preferably, for example, 130°C to 180°C. The clamping pressure is, for example, 20 kg / cm². 2 ~120 kg / cm 2 It is preferable that this is the case. The heating temperature and the time for applying the clamping pressure are preferably, for example, 5 to 20 minutes.

[0106] Next, the rubber molded product can be formed by pressurizing and heating the first molded product (lower part) and the rubber material using a second mold for forming the upper part of the rubber molded product. The manufacturing conditions using the second mold at this time are not particularly limited, but may be appropriately changed depending on the type of first molded product and rubber material. The heating temperature is preferably, for example, 130°C to 180°C. The clamping pressure is, for example, 20 kg / cm². 2 ~120 kg / cm 2 It is preferable that this is the case. The heating temperature and the time for applying the clamping pressure are preferably, for example, 5 to 20 minutes.

[0107] In the compression molding process described above, the film layer is placed only at the bottom of the rubber substrate in the molded rubber product. However, the film layer can be placed at both the bottom and top of the rubber substrate as needed. That is, if necessary, the primary molded product, the raw rubber (rubber material), and the raw film can be placed before the pressurization and heating using the second mold.

[0108] The present invention will be described in more detail below based on examples. These examples are representative examples of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0109] <Test Examples 1-7> The rubber molded product of Test Example 1 (Example 1) contains a film of low-crystallinity PEEK resin, a type of PEEK resin (material name: Shin-Etsu Sepla Film). (R) Low-crystallinity type; manufactured by Shin-Etsu Polymer Co., Ltd., film thickness 50 μm) was used for the rubber molded product in Test Example 2 (Example 2). A film of low-crystallinity PEEK resin, a type of PEEK resin (material name [Superior (TM) [UT αHN-type]; manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, film thickness 100 μm) was used. The rubber molded product of Test Example 3 (Example 3) used a film of low-crystallinity PEEK resin, which is a type of PEEK resin (material name [Superior (TM) [UT HT-type]; manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, film thickness 100 μm) was used. The rubber molded product in Test Example 4 (Example 4) used a low-crystallinity PA resin film (material name [Diamilon]).(TM) [MF]; manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, film thickness 100 μm) was used. The rubber molded product of Test Example 5 (Comparative Example 1) used a film of highly crystalline PEEK resin, a type of PEEK resin (material name [EXPEEK]). (R) ]; Kurabo Corporation, film thickness 50 μm) was used for the rubber molded product in Test Example 6 (Comparative Example 2). A film of highly crystalline PEEK resin, a type of PEEK resin (material name [Shin-Etsu Sepla Film]) was used. (R) High-crystallinity type; manufactured by Shin-Etsu Polymer Co., Ltd., film thickness 100 μm) was used. In Test Example 7 (Reference Example 1), a high-crystallinity ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) film (film thickness 100 μm) manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation was used. Butyl rubber (D713 (without film coating): manufactured by Daikyo Seiko Co., Ltd.) and chlorinated butyl rubber (D21-7S (without film coating): manufactured by Daikyo Seiko Co., Ltd.) were used as rubber materials for the rubber molded products in Test Examples 1 to 7.

[0110] The elongation and tensile strength of each film used in these test examples 1 to 7 are shown in Table 4, which will be described later.

[0111] <Moldability Test> A rubber molded product was manufactured by applying the raw material film of Test Example 1 to the film layer. In Test Example 1-1, butyl rubber was used as the rubber material, and in Test Example 1-2, chlorinated butyl rubber was used. Unless otherwise specified, Test Example ○-1 and "-1" refer to rubber molded products using butyl rubber, and Test Example ○-2 and "-2" refer to rubber molded products using chlorinated butyl rubber. The rubber molded product was molded on a prototype scale by the method described in "2-1. Compression molding for stepwise molding of the lower and upper parts of the rubber molded product" above. On the prototype scale, a first mold and a second mold were used so that the final rubber molded product would be a rubber stopper for a vial bottle with legs attached to the disc-shaped lower part as shown in Figure 1 (diameter 19.05 mm, height 8.00 mm). The holes in this mold were 8 x 8, and 64 pieces were obtained in one production run. Regarding the manufacturing conditions when using the first and second molds, the heating temperature was 130°C to 180°C, and the clamping pressure was 20 kg / cm². 2~120 kg / cm 2 The heating temperature and clamping pressure were applied for 5 to 20 minutes. In this way, the rubber molded product of Test Example 1-1 and the rubber molded product of Test Example 1-2 were obtained. The rubber molded products of Test Examples 2 to 7 were obtained in the same manner, except that the raw material film was changed. The obtained rubber molded product was a rubber stopper for a vial bottle with legs attached to the bottom of a disc shape, as shown in Figure 1. This rubber molded product had a diameter of 19.05 mm and a height of 8.00 mm. Furthermore, the desired rubber molded products of Test Examples 2 to 7 were obtained in the same manner as in Test Example 1, except that the raw material film was changed.

[0112] Using a prototype scale, the molded rubber products were visually inspected for any tears or peeling of the film layer. While a higher number of acceptable products relative to the total is desirable, a rate of 80% or higher can be considered good, and a rate of 90% or higher can be considered excellent.

[0113] In Test Examples 1-1 to 4-1 and 7-1, which used butyl rubber as the rubber material, no tearing or peeling of the film layer was observed, and the number of acceptable products was 100% of the total, with at least 80% being acceptable. Therefore, the moldability evaluation for these products was satisfactory and excellent. On the other hand, in Test Examples 5-1 to 6-1, tearing or peeling of the film layer was observed in all of the rubber molded products, so the moldability evaluation for these products was unsatisfactory. Similarly, in Test Examples 1-2 to 4-2 and 7-2, which used chlorinated butyl rubber as the rubber material, 100% of the number of acceptable products was observed, and the moldability evaluation for these products was satisfactory and excellent. On the other hand, in Test Examples 5-2 to 6-2, tearing or peeling of the film layer was observed in all of the rubber molded products, so the moldability evaluation for these products was unsatisfactory.

[0114] Therefore, the PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) films of Test Examples 1-3 and the PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film of Test Example 4 were judged to be films with excellent moldability when obtaining rubber molded products. On the other hand, the highly crystalline PEEK resins of Test Examples 5-6 were judged to be films with poor moldability when obtaining rubber molded products.

[0115] Furthermore, the PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) films of Test Examples 1 to 3 and the PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film of Test Example 4 can be surface-treated by an etching method using plasma treatment, thereby further improving the adhesion between the rubber substrate and the resin film. By bringing the surface-treated film resin surface into contact with the surface of the rubber substrate, a rubber molded product can be obtained by the compression molding described above.

[0116]

[0117] <Elongation Test and Tensile Strength Test> Elongation tests and tensile strength tests were performed on the raw film used in each test example. The elongation tests and tensile strength tests were measured in accordance with JIS K 7127:1999. The elongation tests and tensile strength tests were measured under a tensile speed of 500 mm / min.

[0118] <Oxygen Permeability Test> The raw material films used in each test example were subjected to oxygen permeability tests at 23±2°C. The oxygen permeability tests were performed in accordance with JIS K 7126-1:2006. The oxygen permeability coefficient of the raw material film at 23±2°C was 2.00 × 10⁻¹⁰. -16 mol・m / (m) 2 The gas barrier properties of the rubber molded product were judged to be good when the value was less than or equal to s・Pa. The oxygen permeability coefficients of the PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film in Test Example 1, the PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film in Test Example 4, and the ETFE resin film in Test Example 7 were 7.37 × 10⁻¹⁰. -17 , 1.16 × 10 -16 , 3.95 x 10 -16 Furthermore, the oxygen permeability coefficient was below the above standard, and in both cases, we considered the gas barrier properties of the rubber molded product to be good.

[0119] <Leaching Test> The rubber molded products (rubber base material: butyl rubber, chlorinated butyl rubber) obtained in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7 were evaluated based on the leaching test (18th Edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement, 7.03 Test Method for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions, 3. Leaching Test). In the case of Test Example ○-1, the rubber molded product was made using butyl rubber, and in the case of Test Example ○-2, the rubber molded product was made using chlorinated butyl rubber. The evaluation items included pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing substance, foaming, and properties (the test solution was colorless and clear, and no foreign matter was observed with the naked eye).

[0120] <<pH value evaluation in the elution test>> After washing the rubber stopper with water, dry it at room temperature. Surface area is approximately 150 cm². 2 Take a number of samples such that the sample size is 1 cm, place these rubber stopper samples in a hard glass container, and 2 Add water to make a total volume of 2 mL per container, properly stopper the container, and heat it in an autoclaver at 121°C for 1 hour. Then, remove the hard glass container and let it stand at room temperature. Immediately remove the rubber stopper, and this liquid will be used as the test solution. Separately, a blank test solution (blank) is prepared using only water, in the same manner as above, except that a rubber stopper sample is not used.

[0121] The following tests are performed on the test solution and blank solution. Take 20 mL each of the test solution (sample) and blank solution, add 1 mL of a solution made by dissolving 1.0 g of potassium chloride in water to each, and measure the pH of both solutions. If the pH difference between these two solutions is 1.0 or less, the pH value standard is considered to be met. Even if the pH difference between the two solutions is within the range of compliance with the pH value standard, the closer the pH difference between the two solutions is to 0.0, the better the result is, and the closer it is to 1.0, the worse the result is.

[0122] Test Examples 1 (Example 1), 4 (Example 4), and 7 (Reference Example 1) (these rubber substrates: butyl rubber and chlorinated butyl rubber) all passed all evaluation items of these <elution tests> (pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing substance, foaming, and properties). Regarding the pH value evaluation in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7, there was almost no difference in pH between the two solutions, and the pH value evaluation was very good. Therefore, it was determined that the rubber molded products of Test Examples 1, 4, and 7 have elution resistance. From this, it was determined that PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film and PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film are resins that have excellent elution resistance for use in rubber molded products.

[0123] <Electron Beam Resistance Test> The electron beam-irradiated rubber molded products used in the electron beam resistance test were obtained by irradiating the rubber molded products obtained in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7 with electron beams. To obtain the electron beam-irradiated rubber molded products, the electron beam was irradiated using the electron accelerator Rhodetron TT200 (manufactured by IBA) with a beam energy set to 10 MeV, and the target dose at the surface was 50 kGy. This electron beam-irradiated rubber molded product was evaluated based on "18th Edition Japanese Pharmacopoeia, First Supplement 7.03 Test Methods for Rubber Stoppers for Infusions 3. Leaching Test". Specifically, the electron beam-irradiated rubber molded product was used to perform tests on pH value, ultraviolet absorption spectrum, transmittance, potassium permanganate reducing substance, foaming, and properties (test solution was colorless and clear, no foreign matter was observed with the naked eye), and these were evaluated. Where necessary, rubber molded products without electron beam irradiation (the rubber molded products obtained in Test Examples 1, 4, and 7) were prepared as controls, and the same test items were performed. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0124]

[0125] In the case of pH value evaluation in the electron beam resistance test, the procedure was carried out in the same manner as described in <<pH Value Evaluation in Leaching Test>> above, except that the "rubber stopper" was replaced with the "electron beam irradiated rubber stopper". The pH difference between the test solution (electron beam irradiated rubber stopper) and the blank solution (water) was confirmed and evaluated. If the difference in pH value between the test solution of the electron beam irradiated rubber stopper and the blank solution was 1.0 or less, the rubber molded product and the resin film used therein were deemed to be compliant (pass) in the electron beam resistance test.

[0126] Using rubber molded products without electron beam irradiation, the pH difference between the test solution (rubber stopper without electron beam irradiation) and the blank solution (water) was confirmed in the same manner. The results of the pH difference between the test solution (rubber stopper with electron beam irradiation) and the blank solution (water) were compared with the results of the pH difference between the test solution (rubber stopper without electron beam irradiation) and the blank solution (water). Although the results were deemed acceptable (passing), it was determined that the larger these pH differences were, the worse the pH difference was due to electron beam irradiation, and the lower the electron beam resistance.

[0127] The above evaluations of electron beam resistance were performed on the rubber molded articles of Test Example 1 (Example 1), Test Example 4 (Example 4), and Test Example 7 (Reference Example 1). The rubber molded articles of Test Example 1-2 (chlorinated butyl rubber), Test Example 4-1 (butyl rubber), and Test Example 4-2 (chlorinated butyl rubber) all conformed to the specified standards for all evaluation items and passed. On the other hand, for the rubber molded articles (2 types) of Reference Example 1 (ETFE), the pH value evaluation was unfavorable for the butyl rubber substrate and "favorable (but worsened)" for the chlorinated butyl rubber substrate.

[0128] In the pH evaluation of electron beam resistance in Test Examples 1 and 4, there was almost no difference in pH between the two solutions, and the pH evaluation was very good. However, in the pH evaluation of electron beam resistance in Test Example 7, the difference in pH between the sample solution with electron beam irradiation and the blank solution was high at approximately 0.8, although it was within the acceptable range. In the case of the blank solution without electron beam irradiation, there was almost no difference in pH between the two solutions. Therefore, the pH evaluation of electron beam resistance in Test Example 7 was "acceptable (deteriorated)".

[0129] Furthermore, the rubber molded articles of Test Example 1 (PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin)) and Test Example 4 (PA resin (preferably PACM resin)) were found to be superior in terms of pH value evaluation when compared with the results of each evaluation item of the rubber molded article of Reference Example (ETFE). For this reason, it was determined that electron beam resistance was good if at least the pH value evaluation item was passed.

[0130] Based on the above, it was determined that rubber molded products using PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film and rubber molded products using PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film had excellent electron beam resistance. Therefore, it was determined that PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) film and PA resin (preferably PACM resin) film are resins with excellent electron beam resistance for use in rubber molded products.

[0131] <Calculation of the degree of crystallinity of resin film using the XRD method>

[0132] The crystallinity was measured and calculated using the XRD method with an X-ray diffractometer (PANlytical, X'pert PRO MPD) and the XRD analysis software attached to the XRD diffractometer. The XRD analysis software may also be an XRD analysis tool. The XRD analysis software is capable of performing XRD measurements and deriving measurement results, detecting and calculating diffraction peaks and their areas, amorphous regions and their areas, etc., necessary for calculating the crystallinity from the measurement results, and calculating the crystallinity of each resin film considering these calculated areas. The analysis software or analysis tool used in this technology can also perform automated analysis, which automatically executes the calculation and analysis from measurement results to crystallinity using a processor such as a CPU and memory such as ROM built into a computer or server, and in this case, automated analysis was performed.

[0133] Measurement conditions: Target: Cu anode Divergence slit: 1 / 4° Divergence prevention slit: 1°, 5.5 mm Scanning range (2θ): 5-50° Scan step time: 100 sec Scan step width: 0.0334°

[0134] The degree of crystallinity was calculated by substituting the area of ​​the diffraction peak and the area of ​​the amorphous region into the above-mentioned (Equation 1). More specifically, it was calculated using the following (Equation 3). Here, as shown in Non-Patent Literature 3 (H. Liu et al., Royal Society Open Science 5: 171775, 25 April 2018), diffraction peaks originating from the (110) plane, (111) plane, (200) plane, and (211) plane were used as standard for detecting diffraction peaks originating from the PEEK resin.

[0135]

[0136] Figure 2 is a chart showing the measurement results obtained using the X-ray diffractometer: the upper panel shows the low-crystallinity PEEK resin film of Test Example 3 (Example 3), and the lower panel shows the PA resin film (PACM-12 resin film) of Test Example 4 (Example 4).

[0137] As shown in the upper part of Figure 2, when the PEEK resin film of Test Example 3 was measured using the X-ray diffractometer described above, no diffraction peaks originating from crystals were observed, and therefore the degree of crystallinity could not be calculated.

[0138] Furthermore, diffraction peaks originating from PEEK resin can be found in Non-Patent Literature 3 (H. Liu et al., Royal Society Open Science 5: 171775, 25 April 2018). As can be seen from "3.4. Microstructure characterization," "Figure 7," and "Table 3," the diffraction peaks originating from the crystals of the PEEK resin in Non-Patent Literature 3 are 18.8° ((110) plane), 20.7° ((111) plane), 22.9° ((200) plane), and 28.9° ((211) plane), indicating a crystallinity of PEEK of 40.9–45.3%.

[0139] Based on this, we concluded that the PEEK resin film in Test Example 3 clearly has a crystallinity of 30% or less, and is a low-crystallinity resin film in which no diffraction peaks originating from crystals were detected. This result is consistent with the properties of the product, as the resin film in Test Example 3 was purchased as a low-crystallinity PEEK resin.

[0140] As shown in the lower part of Figure 2, when the PA resin film (PACM-12 resin film) of Test Example 4 was measured using the aforementioned X-ray diffractometer, no diffraction peaks originating from individual crystals of the PA resin (PACM-12 resin) were detected, and the degree of crystallinity could not be detected. From this, it was concluded that the PA resin film of Test Example 4 is a low-crystallinity resin film with a crystallinity of 30% or less, or in which no diffraction peaks originating from crystals were detected. This result is consistent with the properties of the product, as the resin film of Test Example 4 was purchased as a low-crystallinity PA resin. Furthermore, for diffraction peaks originating from PA resin (PACM-12 resin), refer to Non-Patent Literature 2 (AWL Chen et al., Journal of Composite Materials, Vol. 27, No.9, 1993:862-885). In Non-Patent Literature 2, the diffraction peaks originating from the PACM-12 resin crystals consist of four peaks within the diffraction angle range of 14° to 22°. Of these, the diffraction angle of one diffraction peak is 17.4° and its vicinity, and the diffraction angle of another diffraction peak is 19.2° and its vicinity.

[0141] <Measurement of melting point and glass transition temperature>

[0142] The melting point (intermediate melting temperature) and glass transition temperature (glass transition onset temperature) were measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (Rigaku Corporation, DSCVesta; analysis tool: Thermo plus EVO2 system). For the measurements, the measurement atmosphere was 50 mL / min of nitrogen gas, the reference material was an aluminum pan, and the heating rate was 10°C / min. The measurement range was PEEK: 30°C to 380°C, PA: 30°C to 290°C. Analysis was performed on the peaks observed during the first heating process, determining the melting point and glass transition temperature.

[0143] <Calculation of crystallization energy and degree of crystallinity of resin film using the DSC method>

[0144] To calculate the crystallization energy and degree of crystallinity using the DSC method, a differential scanning calorimeter (Rigaku Corporation, DSCVesta; analysis tool: Thermo plus EVO2 system) was used. For the measurements, the measurement atmosphere was 50 mL / min of nitrogen gas, the reference material was an aluminum pan, the temperature range was 30°C to 380°C, and the heating rate was 10°C / min. Analysis was performed on the peak observed during the first heating process.

[0145] In the DSC method, crystallization energy and degree of crystallinity were determined using a differential scanning calorimeter and the DSC analysis tool attached to the differential scanning calorimeter. The DSC analysis tool may also be DSC analysis software. The DSC analysis tool can measure and derive the measurement results of the DSC, detect and calculate the crystallization energy or melting energy necessary for calculating the degree of crystallinity from the measurement results, and calculate the degree of crystallinity of each resin film considering these factors. The analysis software can also perform automated analysis, which automatically performs the calculation and analysis from the measurement results to the degree of crystallinity using a processor such as a CPU and memory such as ROM built into a computer or server. In this case, the crystallization energy was calculated by the automated analysis software performing data processing based on the baseline, after the start and end points of the baseline of the exothermic peak originating from crystallization were determined by the operator, so it was performed as a semi-automated analysis.

[0146] More specifically, the crystallization energy was calculated by having the automated analysis software perform data processing based on the baseline, after which the start and end points of the baseline of the exothermic peak originating from crystallization were determined by the operator. The melting energy was calculated in the same manner as the crystallization energy, after which the analysis software performed data processing based on the baseline, after which the start and end points of the baseline of the melting peak originating from melting were determined by the operator. The degree of crystallinity was calculated by substituting the calculated crystallization energy and melting energy into equation (2) described above. More specifically, it was calculated using the following equation (4).

[0147]

[0148] Figure 3 is a chart showing the measurement results (DSC curve) of the PEEK resin film of Test Example 1, measured using a differential scanning calorimeter. As shown in Figure 3, the chart for the PEEK resin film of Test Example 1 shows an exothermic peak (peak around 175°C) originating from crystallization and a melting peak (peak around 337°C) originating from melting.

[0149] Except for changing the resin film, the cold crystallization energy, melting energy, and crystallinity of each low-crystallinity PEEK resin film in Test Example 2 and Test Example 3 were calculated using a differential scanning calorimeter and analysis tools, in the same manner as in Test Example 1. The calculation results for the crystallization energy and crystallinity of the resin films of Test Examples 1 to 3 by the DSC method are shown in Table 3. The values ​​in Table 3 are the average values ​​of three measurements taken for each low-crystallinity PEEK resin film.

[0150]

[0151] Figure 4 shows an example of a chart of the highly crystalline PEEK resin of Test Example 6 (Comparative Example 2), measured using a differential scanning calorimeter. As shown in Figure 4, no exothermic peaks originating from crystallization were observed in the chart of this highly crystalline PEEK resin.

[0152] <Results>

[0153] Table 4 shows the results for each of the above-mentioned test examples 1 to 7. In Table 4, "electron beam resistance" and "elution resistance" both refer to the "electron beam resistance" and "elution resistance" when evaluated by pH value. In Table 4, "Excellent" for electron beam resistance (pH value evaluation) means that at least one of the butyl rubber or chlorinated butyl rubber meets the pH value evaluation for electron beam resistance, and there is almost no difference in pH between the respective sample solution and the blank solution. Furthermore, "Good" for electron beam resistance (pH value evaluation) means that the pH value evaluation for electron beam resistance meets the requirements, but there is a large difference in the evaluation results between those with and without electron beam resistance. In test example 7, when chlorinated butyl was used, the pH value evaluation with electron beam irradiation deteriorated to about 0.8. In this case, when the difference in electron beam resistance (pH value evaluation) was 0.5, 0.6, or 0.7 or more, it was judged to be good and to meet the requirements, and when there was almost no difference, such as 0 or 0.1 or less, it was judged to be excellent.

[0154]

[0155] <Discussion> Based on the above results, when a resin film having a ratio of elongation in the TD direction to elongation in the MD direction (TD / MD) of 0.80 or more and 1.20 or less was used as the film layer of a rubber molded product, the resulting rubber molded product had good moldability (passed). For such a resin film, it was preferable that the elongation in the MD direction of the resin film was 150% or more and 450% or less, and the elongation in the TD direction was 150% or more and 450% or less. Furthermore, for such a resin film, it was preferable that the tensile strength in the MD direction of the resin film was 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, and the tensile strength in the TD direction was 60 MPa or more and 160 MPa or less, and that the ratio of the tensile strength in the TD direction to the tensile strength in the MD direction (TD / MD) was 0.80 or more and 1.00 or less. The rubber molded product obtained using a non-fluorine resin film having the above-mentioned specific elongation and / or specific tensile strength also exhibited excellent gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance.

[0156] Furthermore, the results above indicate that a low-crystallinity resin film was preferable as a raw material. The rubber molded products obtained using the non-fluorinated resin film with the aforementioned specific crystallinity exhibited excellent gas barrier properties and electron beam resistance.

[0157] Furthermore, based on the above results, it was preferable that the resin film used be one or more types selected from PAEK resin (preferably PEEK resin) and PA resin (preferably PACM resin). It was also preferable that the rubber material used be one or two types selected from butyl rubber and chlorinated butyl rubber.

[0158] In this specification, the upper limit (less than or equal to) and lower limit (greater than or equal to) of each numerical range (~) can be arbitrarily combined as desired. In numerical ranges described stepwise in this specification, the upper limit or lower limit of a numerical range in one step may be replaced with the upper limit or lower limit of a numerical range in another step. Unless otherwise specified, the examples in this specification may be used individually or in combination of two or more examples selected from the examples.
