Description

本発明は、シリコーン系シーリング材や接着剤として有用な室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物、特には硬化性が速く、なおかつ、保存安定性及び生産性に優れる縮合硬化型の室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物の製造方法及び室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物、接着剤、シーリング材並びに物品に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition useful as a silicone-based sealant or adhesive, in particular to a method for producing a room-temperature curable condensation-curable organopolysiloxane composition that is fast curing and has excellent storage stability and productivity, and to a room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition, adhesive, sealant, and article.

大気中の湿気(水分)により室温(23℃±15℃)で架橋・硬化する室温硬化性(RTV)シリコーンゴム組成物は、その取り扱いが容易な上に耐熱性、接着性、電気特性に優れるため、建材用のシーリング材、電気電子分野での接着剤など様々な分野で利用されている。 Room temperature vulcanizable (RTV) silicone rubber compositions crosslink and harden at room temperature (23°C ± 15°C) due to atmospheric moisture (water), and are easy to handle and have excellent heat resistance, adhesive properties, and electrical properties, so they are used in a variety of fields, such as sealing materials for building materials and adhesives in the electrical and electronics fields.

縮合反応型の室温硬化性ポリオルガノシロキサン組成物の中で、空気中の水分と接触することにより硬化反応が進行する1成分型(1包装型)の組成物は、使用直前にベースポリマーと架橋剤や触媒等とを秤量したり混合したりする煩雑さがなく、取り扱いが簡単である。しかしながら、1成分型の組成物は、硬化が表面から徐々に内部へと進行するものであるため、硬化速度が遅い欠点がある。
また深部硬化性も悪いという難点がある。
Among the condensation reaction type room temperature curable polyorganosiloxane compositions, the one-component type (one-package type) composition in which the curing reaction proceeds by contacting with moisture in the air is easy to handle without the trouble of weighing and mixing the base polymer with the crosslinking agent, catalyst, etc. immediately before use. However, the one-component type composition has the disadvantage of slow curing speed because the curing proceeds gradually from the surface to the inside.
Another drawback is that deep curing is poor.

その欠点を改善する手段として、硬化触媒を増量する方法は一定の効果があるが、この方法は硬化物(シリコーンゴム硬化物)の接着力の低下や耐熱性、耐湿性等の長期耐久性の悪化を招く。 To remedy this shortcoming, increasing the amount of curing catalyst has some effect, but this method leads to a decrease in the adhesive strength of the cured product (silicone rubber cured product) and a deterioration in long-term durability such as heat resistance and moisture resistance.

また、従来用いられている3官能性の硬化剤より反応性の高い4官能性硬化剤を用いた組成物(特許第5768674号公報:特許文献1)が開示されている。しかし、該組成物の保存安定性に関する記述はなく、保存後の硬化性が低下する可能性がある。一方、ホットメルトシリコーン組成物(特許第3642584号公報、特許第4811562号公報:特許文献2,3)が開示されている。しかし、これらの組成物を使用するためには、ホットメルトの吐出機など特殊な装置が必要である。また、縮合反応型の室温硬化性ポリオルガノシロキサン組成物として二成分型の縮合硬化性シリコーン系接着剤組成物(特許第2966257号公報:特許文献4)も開示されているが、該二成分型の組成物は保存安定性(保存後の硬化性)に問題がある。そのため、組成物中の架橋剤、接着助剤、触媒を予め温度を掛けて熟成することにより保存安定性(保存後の硬化性)を改善することが提案されている(特許第5359406号公報:特許文献5)。しかしながら、熟成温度が低温で熟成の効果が表れるまでの時間が長く、組成物の生産性が悪かった。また、長期保管後のシール性(耐圧性)が劣る場合があった。 In addition, a composition using a tetrafunctional curing agent that is more reactive than the conventionally used trifunctional curing agent (JP Patent No. 5768674: Patent Document 1) has been disclosed. However, there is no description of the storage stability of the composition, and the curing property after storage may decrease. On the other hand, a hot melt silicone composition (JP Patent No. 3642584, JP Patent No. 4811562: Patent Documents 2 and 3) has been disclosed. However, in order to use these compositions, a special device such as a hot melt dispenser is required. In addition, a two-component condensation curable silicone adhesive composition (JP Patent No. 2966257: Patent Document 4) has also been disclosed as a condensation reaction type room temperature curable polyorganosiloxane composition, but the two-component composition has a problem with storage stability (curing property after storage). Therefore, it has been proposed to improve the storage stability (curing property after storage) by aging the crosslinking agent, adhesive assistant, and catalyst in the composition by applying temperature in advance (JP Patent No. 5359406: Patent Document 5). However, the maturation temperature was low, and it took a long time for the maturation effect to appear, which resulted in poor productivity of the composition. In addition, the sealing property (pressure resistance) after long-term storage was sometimes poor.

本発明は、上記事情に鑑みなされたもので、硬化性、保存性及び生産性に優れた室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物の製造方法及び室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物を提供することを目的とするものである。更に、該室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物からなる接着剤及びシーリング材、並びに該室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物の硬化物で接着及びシールの少なくともいずれかを施した物品を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a method for producing a room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition that is excellent in curability, storage stability, and productivity, and a room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition. It also aims to provide an adhesive and a sealant made from the room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition, and an article that is at least bonded and sealed with a cured product of the room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition.

本発明者らは、上記目的を達成するために鋭意検討した結果、組成物中の架橋剤と接着助剤を特定の割合で混合し、更に必要に応じて硬化触媒を添加し、これらを予め所定温度の範囲で熟成(熟成とは、一定の加熱温度、時間で予め混合することを言う)することで、硬化性、保存性、生産性に優れた室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物が得られることを見出し、本発明をなすに至ったものである。 As a result of extensive research into achieving the above object, the inventors discovered that by mixing the crosslinking agent and adhesive aid in a specific ratio in the composition, and further adding a curing catalyst as necessary, and maturing these in advance at a predetermined temperature range (maturing means mixing in advance at a certain heating temperature for a certain period of time), a room temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition with excellent curability, storage stability, and productivity can be obtained, which led to the present invention.

即ち、本発明は、下記の室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物の製造方法及び室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物、更に該室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物からなる接着剤及びシーリング材、並びに物品等を提供する。

After that, it is cured at 23°C and 50% RH for 30 minutes, and then pressurized gas is introduced from the upper pressure port, and the maximum gas pressure that the sealing material, which is the cured product of the above composition, can withstand is measured as the initial sealability (kPa).

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
[(A)成分]
(A)成分は、分子鎖両末端がケイ素原子に結合した水酸基(シラノール基)で封鎖されたジオルガノポリシロキサンであり、本発明のオルガノポリシロキサン組成物の主成分(ベースポリマー)である。該ジオルガノポリシロキサンの分子構造は特に制限されるものでなく、直鎖状、分岐状、分岐構造を有する直鎖状(分岐鎖状)のいずれであってもよいが、好ましくは、主鎖が基本的にジオルガノシロキサン単位の繰り返しからなり、分子鎖両末端がケイ素原子に結合した水酸基(シラノール基)で封鎖された直鎖状のジオルガノポリシロキサンである。該直鎖状ジオルガノポリシロキサンは、分岐構造を少量有している分岐鎖状であってもよい。また、該ジオルガノポリシロキサンは分子鎖中(特には、分子鎖両末端のシラノール基と主鎖を構成するジオルガノシロキサン単位の繰り返し構造との連結部等)にシルアルキレン構造(-SiR4Si-)などを有するものであってもよい。前記R4は、炭素数1~20、好ましくは炭素数2~6の2価炭化水素基(例えば、直鎖状又は分岐状のアルキレン基等)である。また、炭素原子に結合する水素原子の一部又は全部がハロゲン原子、又はシアノ基で置換されているものであってもよい。
The present invention will be described in detail below.
[Component (A)]
The (A) component is a diorganopolysiloxane whose molecular chain ends are blocked with hydroxyl groups (silanol groups) bonded to silicon atoms, and is the main component (base polymer) of the organopolysiloxane composition of the present invention.The molecular structure of the diorganopolysiloxane is not particularly limited, and may be any of linear, branched, and linear (branched) with branched structure, but preferably is a linear diorganopolysiloxane whose main chain is basically composed of repeating diorganosiloxane units, and whose molecular chain ends are blocked with hydroxyl groups (silanol groups) bonded to silicon atoms.The linear diorganopolysiloxane may be a branched chain with a small amount of branched structure. The diorganopolysiloxane may also have a silalkylene structure (-SiR 4 Si-) in the molecular chain (particularly at the link between the silanol groups at both ends of the molecular chain and the repeating structure of diorganosiloxane units constituting the main chain). The R 4 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 2 to 6 carbon atoms (for example, a linear or branched alkylene group). Some or all of the hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms may be substituted with halogen atoms or cyano groups.

なお、ケイ素原子に結合した水酸基(シラノール基)は、通常、ヒドロキシ(ジメチル)シロキシ基、ヒドロキシ(ジフェニル)シロキシ基、ヒドロキシ(メチルフェニル)シロキシ基などのヒドロキシ(ジオルガノ)シロキシ基等の形態で分子鎖末端に存在することが好ましい。 In addition, the hydroxyl group (silanol group) bonded to the silicon atom is preferably present at the molecular chain end in the form of a hydroxy(diorgano)siloxy group, such as a hydroxy(dimethyl)siloxy group, a hydroxy(diphenyl)siloxy group, or a hydroxy(methylphenyl)siloxy group.

ここで、ジオルガノポリシロキサンのケイ素原子に結合する水酸基以外の有機基としては、炭素数1~10、好ましくは炭素数1~6の非置換又は置換の1価炭化水素基であることが好ましく、例えば、メチル基、エチル基、プロピル基、イソプロピル基、ブチル基、イソブチル基、tert-ブチル基、ヘキシル基、2-エチルヘキシル基、オクチル基等のアルキル基、シクロヘキシル基等の環状アルキル基、ビニル基、アリル基、プロペニル基等のアルケニル基、フェニル基、トリル基等のアリール基、及びこれらの基の水素原子が部分的にハロゲン原子で置換された基、例えば3,3,3-トリフルオロプロピル基などである。これらの中では、特にメチル基、フェニル基、3,3,3-トリフルオロプロピル基等が好ましい。これらは同一の基であっても異種の基であってもよい。 Here, the organic group other than the hydroxyl group bonded to the silicon atom of the diorganopolysiloxane is preferably an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms, such as alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, hexyl, 2-ethylhexyl, and octyl groups, cyclic alkyl groups such as cyclohexyl groups, alkenyl groups such as vinyl, allyl, and propenyl groups, aryl groups such as phenyl and tolyl groups, and groups in which the hydrogen atoms of these groups are partially substituted with halogen atoms, such as 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl groups. Of these, methyl, phenyl, and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl groups are particularly preferred. These groups may be the same or different.

(A)成分のジオルガノポリシロキサンは、23℃における粘度が好ましくは20~1,000,000mPa・s、より好ましくは100~300,000mPa・s、更に好ましくは500~200,000mPa・s、特に700~100,000mPa・sであるものがよい。ジオルガノポリシロキサンの粘度が上記下限値(20mPa・s)未満であると、硬化物に十分な機械特性が得られない場合がある。また、ジオルガノポリシロキサンの粘度が上記上限値(1,000,000mPa・s)超では、作業性が低下するので、好ましくない。なお、粘度は回転粘度計(例えば、BL型、BH型、BS型、コーンプレート型、レオメータ等)などによって測定した値である。 The diorganopolysiloxane of component (A) preferably has a viscosity at 23°C of 20 to 1,000,000 mPa·s, more preferably 100 to 300,000 mPa·s, even more preferably 500 to 200,000 mPa·s, and particularly preferably 700 to 100,000 mPa·s. If the viscosity of the diorganopolysiloxane is less than the lower limit (20 mPa·s), the cured product may not have sufficient mechanical properties. If the viscosity of the diorganopolysiloxane exceeds the upper limit (1,000,000 mPa·s), workability decreases, which is not preferable. The viscosity is measured using a rotational viscometer (e.g., BL type, BH type, BS type, cone-plate type, rheometer, etc.).

また、(A)成分のジオルガノポリシロキサンは、上記と同様な理由で、該ジオルガノポリシロキサンの主鎖を構成する2価のジオルガノシロキサン単位の繰り返し数(又は重合度)が、通常、20~2,000、好ましくは50~1,500、より好ましくは100~1,200、更に好ましくは200~1,000程度であることが望ましい。なお、本発明において、重合度(又は分子量)は、例えば、トルエン等を展開溶媒としてゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィ(GPC)分析におけるポリスチレン換算の数平均重合度(又は数平均分子量)等として求めることができる。
上記(A)成分のジオルガノポリシロキサンは、従来公知の方法で製造することができる。
For the same reasons as above, it is desirable that the diorganopolysiloxane of component (A) has a repeat number (or degree of polymerization) of the divalent diorganosiloxane unit constituting the main chain of the diorganopolysiloxane of usually about 20 to 2,000, preferably 50 to 1,500, more preferably 100 to 1,200, and even more preferably about 200 to 1,000. In the present invention, the degree of polymerization (or molecular weight) can be determined, for example, as the polystyrene-equivalent number average degree of polymerization (or number average molecular weight) in gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis using toluene or the like as a developing solvent.
The diorganopolysiloxane of component (A) above can be produced by a conventional method.

[(B)成分]
(B)成分は充填剤(無機質充填剤及び/又は有機樹脂充填剤)であり、この組成物から形成される硬化物に十分な機械的強度を与えるために使用される。この充填剤としては公知のものを使用することができ、例えば、微粉末シリカ、煙霧質シリカ、沈降性シリカ、これらのシリカ表面を有機ケイ素化合物で疎水化処理したシリカ、ガラスビーズ、ガラスバルーン、透明樹脂ビーズ、シリカエアロゲル、珪藻土、酸化鉄、酸化亜鉛、酸化マグネシウム、酸化チタン、煙霧状金属酸化物などの金属酸化物、湿式シリカあるいはこれらの表面をシラン処理したもの、石英粉末、カーボンブラック、タルク、ゼオライト及びベントナイト等の補強剤、アスベスト、ガラス繊維、炭素繊維、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸亜鉛などの金属炭酸塩、ガラスウール、微粉マイカ、溶融シリカ粉末、ポリスチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリプロピレンなどの合成樹脂粉末等が使用される。また、表面は、処理の有無によらず、使用できる。表面処理剤としては、脂肪酸類、パラフィン類、シラン類、シラザン類、低重合度シロキサン類、有機化合物などが使用できる。これらの充填剤のうち、シリカ、炭酸カルシウム、カーボンブラック、ゼオライトなどの無機質充填剤が好ましく、特に、煙霧質シリカ、炭酸カルシウム(無処理の重質炭酸カルシウム、脂肪酸で処理されたコロイダル炭酸カルシウム)、カーボンブラックが好ましい。
[Component (B)]
The (B) component is a filler (inorganic filler and/or organic resin filler), and is used to give sufficient mechanical strength to the cured product formed from this composition. Known fillers can be used as this filler, and examples include fine powder silica, fumed silica, precipitated silica, silica whose surface has been hydrophobized with an organic silicon compound, glass beads, glass balloons, transparent resin beads, silica aerogel, diatomaceous earth, metal oxides such as iron oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, and fumed metal oxide, wet silica or those whose surface has been silane-treated, quartz powder, carbon black, talc, zeolite, and bentonite, reinforcing agents such as asbestos, glass fiber, carbon fiber, metal carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and zinc carbonate, glass wool, fine powder mica, fused silica powder, and synthetic resin powders such as polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene. In addition, the filler can be used regardless of whether the surface is treated or not. Examples of surface treatment agents that can be used include fatty acids, paraffins, silanes, silazanes, low-polymerization siloxanes, organic compounds, etc. Among these fillers, inorganic fillers such as silica, calcium carbonate, carbon black, and zeolite are preferred, and fumed silica, calcium carbonate (untreated heavy calcium carbonate, colloidal calcium carbonate treated with fatty acid), and carbon black are particularly preferred.

(B)成分の配合量は、前記(A)成分100質量部に対して0.1~800質量部であり、特に0.3~600質量部とすることが好ましい。0.1質量部未満では、この組成物から得られる硬化物に十分な機械的強度が発現せず、また800質量部よりも多量に使用すると、組成物の粘度が増大して作業性が悪くなるばかりでなく、硬化後のゴム強度が低下してゴム弾性が得難くなる傾向がある。 The amount of component (B) to be blended is 0.1 to 800 parts by mass, and preferably 0.3 to 600 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). If it is less than 0.1 part by mass, the cured product obtained from this composition will not exhibit sufficient mechanical strength, and if more than 800 parts by mass is used, not only will the viscosity of the composition increase, making workability difficult, but the rubber strength after curing will decrease, making it difficult to obtain rubber elasticity.

[(C-1)成分]
(C-1)成分は、ケトオキシムシラン類、アシロキシシラン類、アルケノキシシラン類及びラクタートシラン類から選ばれる、一分子中に3個以上(通常、3個又は4個)の加水分解性基を含有する加水分解性オルガノシラン及び/又はその部分加水分解縮合物(即ち、該加水分解性オルガノシランを部分的に加水分解・縮合して生成する分子中に残存加水分解性基を3個以上有するオルガノシロキサンオリゴマー)であり、本発明の組成物において架橋剤(硬化剤)として作用するものである。なお、本発明において(C-1)成分は、後述する(C-2)成分のシランカップリング剤を含まない。即ち、(C-1)成分は、分子中に窒素原子、硫黄原子及び酸素原子から選ばれる少なくとも1種のヘテロ原子を含有する官能性基を含有しないものである点において、後述する(C-2)成分のシランカップリング剤とは明確に区別されるものである。

The component (C-1) is a hydrolyzable organosilane containing three or more (usually three or four) hydrolyzable groups in one molecule selected from ketoximesilanes, acyloxysilanes, alkenoxysilanes, and lactatosilanes, and/or a partial hydrolysis condensate thereof (i.e., an organosiloxane oligomer having three or more residual hydrolyzable groups in the molecule produced by partially hydrolyzing and condensing the hydrolyzable organosilane), and acts as a crosslinking agent (curing agent) in the composition of the present invention. Note that the component (C-1) in the present invention does not include the silane coupling agent of the component (C-2) described later. That is, the component (C-1) is clearly distinguished from the silane coupling agent of the component (C-2) described later in that it does not contain a functional group containing at least one heteroatom selected from a nitrogen atom, a sulfur atom, and an oxygen atom in the molecule.

Examples of the alkyl groups include alkenyl groups such as thenyl groups, aryl groups such as phenyl groups, tolyl groups, and xylyl groups, and aralkyl groups such as phenylethyl groups. Of these, methyl groups, ethyl groups, vinyl groups, and phenyl groups are preferred. The unsubstituted or halogen-substituted monovalent hydrocarbon groups do not include functional groups containing at least one heteroatom selected from nitrogen atoms, sulfur atoms, and oxygen atoms, such as amino groups, imino groups, epoxy groups, styryl groups, methacryloxy groups, acryloxy groups, isocyanate groups, and mercapto groups.

If the amount is less than 0.5 parts by mass, crosslinking will not proceed sufficiently and a cured product with the desired rubber elasticity may not be obtained, while if the amount is more than 30 parts by mass, the flexibility of the resulting cured product may be poor.

(C-3)成分の配合量は、上記(A)成分100質量部に対して0.001~15質量部であり、0.01~10質量部が好ましい。(C-3)成分が少なすぎると十分な硬化性が得られず、多すぎると硬化性が速すぎる結果、十分な作業時間が得られず、また経済的に不利になる。 The amount of component (C-3) is 0.001 to 15 parts by mass, preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). If the amount of component (C-3) is too small, sufficient curing properties will not be obtained, and if the amount is too large, the curing properties will be too fast, resulting in insufficient working time and being economically disadvantageous.

本発明の製造方法においては、上記(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分と、必要に応じて(C-3)成分とを予め加熱熟成させて加熱熟成混合物(C)とし、該加熱熟成混合物(C)を配合する。詳しくは、上記(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分をモル比((C-1)/(C-2))1.7~3.5の割合で混合し、100℃超150℃以下で30分~24時間加熱熟成させて加熱熟成混合物(C)とし、該加熱熟成混合物(C)を配合するものである。また、上記(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分をモル比((C-1)/(C-2))1.7~3.5の割合で混合し、更に上記(C-3)成分を添加し、100℃超150℃以下で30分~24時間加熱熟成させて加熱熟成混合物(C)とし、該加熱熟成混合物(C)を(A)成分、(B)成分に添加するものであることが好ましい。 In the manufacturing method of the present invention, the above-mentioned components (C-1) and (C-2), and optionally the component (C-3), are preliminarily heated and aged to obtain a heat-aged mixture (C), which is then blended. Specifically, the above-mentioned components (C-1) and (C-2) are mixed in a molar ratio ((C-1)/(C-2)) of 1.7 to 3.5, and then heated and aged at a temperature higher than 100°C and not higher than 150°C for 30 minutes to 24 hours to obtain a heat-aged mixture (C), which is then blended. It is also preferable to mix the above (C-1) and (C-2) components in a molar ratio ((C-1)/(C-2)) of 1.7 to 3.5, add the above (C-3) component, heat and age at a temperature higher than 100°C and not higher than 150°C for 30 minutes to 24 hours to obtain a heat-aged mixture (C), and then add the heat-aged mixture (C) to the components (A) and (B).

ここで、(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分との配合割合は、(C-1)/(C-2)のモル比が1.7~3.5であることが必要であり、好ましくは1.8~3.3である。このモル比が1.7未満では十分な保存安定性(保存後の硬化性)が得られず、3.5を超えると深部硬化性が劣る。
(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分を合計した配合量は、(A)成分100質量部に対して0.6~45質量部が好ましく、1.2~35質量部がより好ましい。この合計配合量が少なすぎると目的とするゴム弾性を有する硬化物が得られず硬化物の接着性が低下する可能性があり、多すぎると硬化物の柔軟性が劣り耐熱性や耐薬品性などの耐久性が低下するおそれがある。
Here, the blending ratio of the (C-1) component to the (C-2) component, that is, the molar ratio (C-1)/(C-2) must be 1.7 to 3.5, and is preferably 1.8 to 3.3. If this molar ratio is less than 1.7, sufficient storage stability (curability after storage) cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 3.5, deep curability is poor.
The combined amount of components (C-1) and (C-2) is preferably 0.6 to 45 parts by mass, and more preferably 1.2 to 35 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). If this combined amount is too small, a cured product having the desired rubber elasticity may not be obtained, and the adhesiveness of the cured product may decrease, whereas if the combined amount is too large, the flexibility of the cured product may decrease, and durability such as heat resistance and chemical resistance may decrease.

なお、(C-3)成分は(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分の加熱熟成の際、一緒に添加しなくても組成物の保存安定性(保存後の良好な硬化性及びシール性)は確保できるが、一緒に添加して加熱熟成すると生産性がより高まり好ましい。
(C-1)、(C-2)、(C-3)成分を合計した配合量は、(A)成分100質量部に対して0.601~60質量部が好ましく、1.21~40質量部がより好ましい。この合計配合量が少なすぎると目的とするゴム弾性を有する硬化物が得られず硬化物の接着性が低下する可能性があり、多すぎると硬化物の柔軟性が劣り耐熱性や耐薬品性などの耐久性が低下するおそれがある。
In addition, the storage stability of the composition (good curing properties and sealability after storage) can be ensured even if the component (C-3) is not added together with the component (C-1) and the component (C-2) during heat-aging. However, adding the components (C-3) together and heat-aging them increases productivity and is therefore preferred.
The combined amount of components (C-1), (C-2), and (C-3) is preferably 0.601 to 60 parts by mass, and more preferably 1.21 to 40 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). If this combined amount is too small, a cured product having the desired rubber elasticity may not be obtained, and the adhesiveness of the cured product may decrease, whereas if the combined amount is too large, the flexibility of the cured product may decrease, and durability such as heat resistance and chemical resistance may decrease.

(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分、必要に応じて添加する(C-3)成分の熟成方法としては、各成分が加水分解性を有するため、各成分の所定量を密閉容器に計量し、混合した上で加熱養生する(これを加熱熟成と称する。以下、同じ)。
加熱温度としては、100℃超150℃以下、好ましくは100℃超140℃以下であり、加熱時間としては、30分以上、好ましくは1時間以上である。時間の上限は、24時間以内、好ましくは18時間以内である。100℃以下であると十分な熟成に長時間要するため生産性が悪くなり、保管後のシール性が悪くなる。また、150℃を超える温度では、加水分解性基が反応しゲル化するおそれがある。また、30分未満であると、十分な熟成ができず、24時間を超えると生産性に劣る。
As for the method of aging the components (C-1) and (C-2) and, if necessary, the component (C-3), since each component is hydrolyzable, predetermined amounts of each component are weighed into a sealed container, mixed, and then heat-aged (this is referred to as heat-aging; the same applies hereinafter).
The heating temperature is more than 100°C and less than 150°C, preferably more than 100°C and less than 140°C, and the heating time is 30 minutes or more, preferably 1 hour or more. The upper limit of the time is within 24 hours, preferably within 18 hours. If it is less than 100°C, it takes a long time to sufficiently mature, which reduces productivity and deteriorates the sealability after storage. In addition, at a temperature exceeding 150°C, the hydrolyzable group may react and gel. In addition, if it is less than 30 minutes, sufficient maturation cannot be achieved, and if it exceeds 24 hours, productivity is poor.

A second embodiment of the method for producing a room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition according to the present invention comprises the steps of:
The method includes the steps of preparing a first liquid and preparing a second liquid described below, and further includes mixing the first liquid and the second liquid in a mass ratio of 100:10 to 100:100 to obtain a room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition.
[First liquid preparation step]
(A-1) 100 parts by mass of a diorganopolysiloxane having hydroxyl groups bonded to silicon atoms at both molecular chain terminals,
(B-1) Filler: 0.1 to 800 parts by mass,
(C-1) 0.5 to 60 parts by mass (preferably 0.55 to 30 parts by mass) of a hydrolyzable organosilane containing three or more hydrolyzable groups in one molecule selected from ketoximesilanes, acyloxysilanes, alkenoxysilanes, and lactatosilanes, and/or a partial hydrolysis condensate thereof,
(C-2) 0.1 to 30 parts by mass (preferably 0.11 to 15 parts by mass) of a silane coupling agent represented by the following general formula (1) and/or a partial hydrolysis condensate thereof other than the component (C-1),

(C-3) Curing catalyst: 0.001 to 30 parts by mass (preferably 0.0011 to 15 parts by mass)
The above-mentioned components (C-1) and (C-2) are mixed in a molar ratio ((C-1)/(C-2)) of 1.7 to 3.5, and are heated and aged at a temperature higher than 100° C. and not higher than 150° C. for 30 minutes to 24 hours to obtain a heat-aged mixture (C), and the heat-aged mixture (C) is blended to prepare the first liquid.
[Second liquid preparation step]
(A-2) 100 parts by mass of a diorganopolysiloxane having hydroxyl groups bonded to silicon atoms at both molecular chain terminals,
(B-2) 0.1 to 800 parts by mass of a filler is mixed to prepare a second liquid (without adding the above components (C-1), (C-2), and (C-3)).

ここで、(A-1)、(A-2)成分は、第1の実施形態でいう(A)成分と同じであり、(B-1)、(B-2)成分は、第1の実施形態でいう(B)成分と同じであり、(C-1)、(C-2)、(C-3)成分は第1の実施形態で示したもの(成分及び組成物全体における添加量)と同じである。また、第1の実施形態と同様にその他の成分を配合してもよい。 Here, components (A-1) and (A-2) are the same as component (A) in the first embodiment, components (B-1) and (B-2) are the same as component (B) in the first embodiment, and components (C-1), (C-2), and (C-3) are the same as those shown in the first embodiment (components and amounts added in the entire composition). In addition, other components may be blended in the same way as in the first embodiment.

第一液調製工程では、上記(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分と、必要に応じて(C-3)成分とを予め加熱熟成させて加熱熟成混合物(C)とし、該加熱熟成混合物(C)を配合する。詳しくは、上記(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分をモル比((C-1)/(C-2))1.7~3.5の割合で混合し、100℃超150℃以下で30分~24時間加熱熟成させて加熱熟成混合物(C)とし、該加熱熟成混合物(C)を配合するものである。また、上記(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分をモル比((C-1)/(C-2))1.7~3.5の割合で混合し、更に上記(C-3)成分を添加し、100℃超150℃以下で30分~24時間加熱熟成させて加熱熟成混合物(C)とし、該加熱熟成混合物(C)を(A-1)成分、(B-1)成分に添加して第一液を調製するものであることが好ましい。 In the first liquid preparation step, the above-mentioned (C-1) and (C-2) components, and optionally the (C-3) component, are preliminarily heated and aged to obtain a heat-aged mixture (C), which is then blended. In detail, the above-mentioned (C-1) and (C-2) components are mixed in a molar ratio ((C-1)/(C-2)) of 1.7 to 3.5, and then heated and aged at a temperature higher than 100°C and not higher than 150°C for 30 minutes to 24 hours to obtain a heat-aged mixture (C), which is then blended. It is also preferable to mix the above (C-1) and (C-2) components in a molar ratio ((C-1)/(C-2)) of 1.7 to 3.5, add the above (C-3) component, heat and age at a temperature higher than 100°C and not higher than 150°C for 30 minutes to 24 hours to obtain a heat-aged mixture (C), and then add the heat-aged mixture (C) to the (A-1) and (B-1) components to prepare the first liquid.

本実施形態における(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分との配合割合は、(C-1)/(C-2)のモル比が1.7~3.5であることが必要であり、好ましくは1.8~3である。このモル比が1.7未満では十分な保存安定性(保存後の硬化性)が得られず、3.5を超えると深部硬化性が劣る。なお、(C-3)成分は(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分の加熱熟成の際、一緒に添加しなくても組成物の保存安定性(保存後の良好な硬化性及びシール性)は確保できるが、一緒に添加して加熱熟成すると生産性がより高まり好ましい。また、(C-3)成分の一部を(C-1)成分と(C-2)成分の加熱熟成の際、一緒に添加して加熱熟成混合物(C)とし、該加熱熟成混合物(C)を(C-3)成分の残り、(A-1)成分、(B-1)成分に添加して第一液としてもよい。 In this embodiment, the blending ratio of the (C-1) component and the (C-2) component must be 1.7 to 3.5, preferably 1.8 to 3, in terms of the molar ratio (C-1)/(C-2). If the molar ratio is less than 1.7, sufficient storage stability (curability after storage) cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 3.5, the deep curing property is poor. Note that, even if the (C-3) component is not added together with the (C-1) component and the (C-2) component during heat maturation, the storage stability of the composition (good curability and sealability after storage) can be ensured, but adding them together and heat maturing increases productivity, which is preferable. Also, a part of the (C-3) component may be added together with the (C-1) component and the (C-2) component during heat maturation to form a heat maturation mixture (C), and the heat maturation mixture (C) may be added to the remainder of the (C-3) component, the (A-1) component, and the (B-1) component to form the first liquid.

また、加熱熟成における加熱温度としては、100℃超150℃以下、好ましくは100℃超140℃以下であり、加熱時間としては、30分以上、好ましくは1時間以上である。時間の上限は、24時間以内、好ましくは18時間以内である。100℃以下であると十分な熟成に長時間要するため生産性が悪くなり、保管後のシール性が悪くなる。また、150℃を超える温度では、加水分解性基が反応しゲル化するおそれがある。また、30分未満であると、十分な熟成ができず、24時間を超えると生産性に劣る。 The heating temperature for heat aging is more than 100°C and less than 150°C, preferably more than 100°C and less than 140°C, and the heating time is 30 minutes or more, preferably 1 hour or more. The upper limit of the time is 24 hours or less, preferably 18 hours or less. If the temperature is less than 100°C, a long time is required for sufficient aging, which reduces productivity and deteriorates the sealability after storage. If the temperature exceeds 150°C, the hydrolyzable groups may react and gel. If the temperature is less than 30 minutes, sufficient aging cannot be achieved, and if the temperature exceeds 24 hours, productivity is poor.

第二液調製工程では、上記(A-2)成分と(B-2)成分を混合して第二液を調製する。このとき、上記(C-1)、(C-2)、(C-3)成分を添加しない点で第一液と相違する。なお、シクロヘキサノン等の有機溶剤を少量添加してもよい。 In the second liquid preparation step, the above-mentioned (A-2) and (B-2) components are mixed to prepare the second liquid. This step differs from the first liquid in that the above-mentioned (C-1), (C-2), and (C-3) components are not added. A small amount of an organic solvent such as cyclohexanone may be added.

The following initial sealability was measured using compositions 1 to 5 immediately after preparation. In addition, as a storage stability test, each composition prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples was placed in a sealed container, and left (stored) at 40° C. for 2 months and at 23° C. for 6 months, and the initial sealability was measured in the same manner. In addition, the retention rate of the initial sealability of the room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition after the above storage (initial sealability P2 after storage at 40° C. for 2 months, initial sealability P3 after storage at 23° C. for 6 months) relative to the initial sealability P1 of the room-temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition immediately after preparation (manufacture) was calculated by the following formula.
(Retention rate of initial sealability after storage at 40°C for 2 months relative to the initial sealability immediately after preparation) = P2/P1 x 100 (%)
(Retention rate of initial sealability after storage at 23°C for 6 months relative to the initial sealability immediately after preparation) = P3/P1 x 100 (%)
The results are shown in Table 1.

(初期シール性試験方法)
初期シール性(耐圧性)の試験方法は、試験装置としてJIS K 6820に規定されている耐圧試験用フランジ圧力容器に準ずる圧力容器を用い、耐圧試験を行った。該圧力容器は、内径58mm、外径80mm、厚さ10mmの上側フランジを有する上側容器と、上側フランジと同寸法の下側フランジを有する下側容器からなり、下側フランジのシール面のインナー側縁部には、幅3mm、深さ3mmの環状の切り欠きが円周に沿って設けられている。この下側のフランジのシール面をトルエンにより洗浄した。その後、上記組成物をシール面が十分に満たされるだけの塗布量で、下側のシール面中央部にビード状に塗布した。塗布後直ちに、上側容器を、上側フランジと下側フランジのシール面とが当接するように、下側容器に載せ、上下フランジのシール面間の距離を規定するための(上記フランジの厚さ方向の)高さ21.0mmの鉄製スペーサーを設置して4本の締め付けボルトを組み付けた。当該スペーサーによりシール面間に1.0mmの間隔が生じているが、これはシール材に対する耐圧試験をより過酷にする、いわゆる促進試験とするためである。その後、23℃、50%RHで30分間硬化させた後、上側の加圧口から加圧気体を挿入し、上記組成物の硬化物であるシール材が耐えうる気体圧の最大値を初期シール性(kPa)として測定した。
(Initial sealability test method)
The initial sealability (pressure resistance) test method was performed using a pressure vessel conforming to the flange pressure vessel for pressure resistance test specified in JIS K 6820 as a test device, and a pressure resistance test was performed. The pressure vessel was composed of an upper vessel having an upper flange with an inner diameter of 58 mm, an outer diameter of 80 mm, and a thickness of 10 mm, and a lower vessel having a lower flange with the same dimensions as the upper flange, and a ring-shaped notch with a width of 3 mm and a depth of 3 mm was provided along the circumference at the inner side edge of the seal surface of the lower flange. The seal surface of this lower flange was washed with toluene. Then, the composition was applied in a bead shape to the center of the lower seal surface in an amount sufficient to fully fill the seal surface. Immediately after application, the upper vessel was placed on the lower vessel so that the seal surfaces of the upper and lower flanges were in contact with each other, and an iron spacer with a height of 21.0 mm (in the thickness direction of the flange) to define the distance between the seal surfaces of the upper and lower flanges was installed, and four tightening bolts were installed. The spacer creates a gap of 1.0 mm between the sealing surfaces, which is intended to make the pressure resistance test for the sealant more severe, i.e., to perform a so-called accelerated test. After curing for 30 minutes at 23°C and 50% RH, pressurized gas was introduced from the upper pressure port, and the maximum gas pressure that the sealant, which is the cured product of the composition, could withstand was measured as the initial sealability (kPa).

上記結果から、本発明の室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物は、調製直後から30分という短時間の硬化時間にもかかわらず高い初期シール性を示し、更に40℃で2ヶ月間保管、23℃で6ヶ月間保管したものでも初期シール性に大きな低下は見られなかった。具体的には40℃2ヶ月間保管後の初期シール性の保持率が94%以上であり、23℃6ヶ月間保管後の初期シール性の保持率が88%以上であった。
一方、熟成をしていない比較例1では初期のシール性は高いものの保管後のものでは初期シール性が大きく低下し、保存安定性に劣る結果となった。また、比較例2では保管後の初期シール性の保持率の低下がみられ、40℃2ヶ月間保管後の初期シール性の保持率が90%未満であり、23℃6ヶ月間保管後の初期シール性の保持率が80%未満であった。また、比較例2では熟成時間が24時間と長く、生産性に劣っていた。
From the above results, the room temperature curable organopolysiloxane composition of the present invention exhibited high initial sealability despite the short curing time of only 30 minutes immediately after preparation, and furthermore, no significant decrease in initial sealability was observed even after storage for 2 months at 40° C. or 6 months at 23° C. Specifically, the retention of initial sealability after storage at 40° C. for 2 months was 94% or more, and the retention of initial sealability after storage at 23° C. for 6 months was 88% or more.
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, which was not aged, the initial sealability was high, but after storage, the initial sealability was significantly reduced, resulting in poor storage stability. In Comparative Example 2, the retention of the initial sealability after storage was reduced, with the retention of the initial sealability being less than 90% after storage at 40°C for 2 months and less than 80% after storage at 23°C for 6 months. In Comparative Example 2, the aging time was long at 24 hours, and the productivity was poor.

上記結果から、本発明の室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物は、調製直後から30分という短時間の硬化時間にもかかわらず高い初期シール性を示し、更に40℃で2ヶ月間保管、23℃で6ヶ月間保管したものでも初期シール性に大きな低下は見られなかった。具体的には40℃2ヶ月間保管後の初期シール性の保持率が93%以上であり、23℃6ヶ月間保管後の初期シール性の保持率が81%以上であった。

上記結果から、二液型の組成物でも本発明の室温硬化性オルガノポリシロキサン組成物は、調製直後から30分という短時間の硬化時間にもかかわらず高い初期シール性を示し、更に40℃で2ヶ月間保管、23℃で6ヶ月間保管したものでも初期シール性に大きな低下は見られなかった。
一方、熟成していない比較例6は、保存安定性(保管後の初期シール性)が悪い結果となった。

5. The room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition according to claim 4, wherein the retention of the initial sealability of the room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition after storage at 40°C for two months is 90% or more relative to the initial sealability of the room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition immediately after production, as measured by the initial sealability test method described below.
[Initial sealability test method]
The test apparatus used was a pressure vessel conforming to the flanged pressure vessels for pressure tests specified in JIS K 6820, consisting of an upper vessel having an upper flange with an inner diameter of 58 mm, an outer diameter of 80 mm, and a thickness of 10 mm, and a lower vessel having a lower flange of the same dimensions as the upper flange, with a 3 mm wide and 3 mm deep annular notch provided around the circumference on the inner side edge of the sealing surface of the lower flange. After cleaning the sealing surface of the lower flange of the pressure vessel, a room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition was applied in the form of a bead to the center of the lower sealing surface in an amount sufficient to fully fill the sealing surface. Immediately after application, the upper vessel was placed on the lower vessel so that the sealing surfaces of the upper and lower flanges were in contact, a spacer 21.0 mm high was installed to define the distance between the sealing surfaces of the upper and lower flanges, and four tightening bolts were attached. After that, it is cured at 23°C and 50% RH for 30 minutes, and then pressurized gas is introduced from the upper pressure port, and the maximum gas pressure that the sealing material, which is the cured product of the above composition, can withstand is measured as the initial sealability (kPa).
