The present invention relates to an adhesive kit, and a method of producing a laminate. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adhesive kit, and a method of producing a laminate by using the adhesive kit.
Conventionally, honeymoon adhesives for which its main agent and its curing agent are separately prepared have been known.
To bond two adherends to each other by using a honeymoon adhesive, first, its main agent is applied to one of the adherends and its curing agent is separately applied to the other adherend. Then, the two adherends are bonded to each other so that the applied main agent and the applied curing agent are brought into contact with each other. By that, the main agent and cure agent are mixed together and the reaction (curing) of the mixed main agent and curing agent makes the two adherends adhere to each other.
As such a honeymoon adhesive, for example, a two-component urethane adhesive consisting of an A agent and a B agent has been proposed. The A agent includes a compound having isocyanate groups at both the terminals. The B agent includes a compound having amino groups at both the terminals. When the A agent applied to one of adherends contacts the B agent applied to the other adherend, a curing reaction therebetween starts (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).
In the two-component urethane adhesive of Patent Document 1, the isocyanate groups of the A agent react with the amino groups of the B agent. The reaction makes two adherends adhered together.
The high reactivity in such a reaction increases the initial adhesive force. The increased adhesive force forms a urea film at the interface of the A agent and B agent at the initial stage of the reaction. Thus, there is a disadvantage that the urea film inhibits the subsequent reaction, and the adhesive force (adhesive strength) does not develop at the later stage of the reaction.
The present invention provides an adhesive kit with an excellent initial adhesive force, and simultaneously with excellent adhesive strength, and a method of producing a laminate by using the adhesive kit.
The present invention [1] includes an adhesive kit separately comprising: a main agent layer; and a curing agent layer, wherein the main agent layer contains a polyamine component, the curing agent layer contains a polyisocyanate component, a reactive parameter Pr represented by a following formula (1) exceeds 40% when the main agent layer is reacted with the curing agent layer, Pr=(C0−C0.05)/C0×100 (1) (in formula (1), C0 represents an amount of isocyanate groups contained in the curing agent layer before the start of the reaction of the main agent layer and curing agent layer, and C0.05 represents an amount of isocyanate groups contained in the curing agent layer at a time when 3 minutes have passed since the start of the reaction of the main agent layer and curing agent layer), and a diffusion parameter Pd represented by a following formula (2) exceeds 15% when the main agent layer is reacted with the curing agent layer, Pd=(C0.05−C24)/C0.05×100 (2) (in the above-described formula (2), C0.05 represents the same as the C0.05 of the formula (1) does, and C24 represents an amount of isocyanate groups contained in the curing agent layer at a time when 24 hours have passed since the start of the reaction of the main agent layer and curing agent layer.)

The present invention [4] includes the adhesive kit described in any one of the above-described [1] to [3], wherein the polyamine component contains a multifunctional polyamine having 3 or more functional groups.
The present invention [5] includes a method of producing a laminate produced by adhering a first adherend and a second adherend to each other with the adhesive kit described in any one of the above-described [1] to [4], the method comprising; a first step of forming the main agent layer on a surface of the first adherend; a second step of forming the curing agent layer on a surface of the second adherend; a third step of bonding the first adherend and second adherend to each other so that the main agent layer and curing agent layer are brought into contact with each other; and a fourth step of curing the main agent layer and curing agent layer.
The adhesive kit of the present invention separately includes a main agent layer including a polyamine component and a curing agent layer including a polyisocyanate component. The reactive parameter Pr of the reaction of the main agent layer and curing agent layer, namely, the consumption ratio of isocyanate groups at the initial stage of the reaction exceeds 40%.
Thus, the adhesive kit has an excellent initial adhesive force.
Meanwhile, in the adhesive kit of the present invention, the diffusion parameter Pd of the reaction of the main agent layer and curing agent layer, namely, the consumption ratio of isocyanate groups at the later stage of the reaction exceeds 15%.
Thus, the adhesive kit also has excellent adhesive strength.

Thus, the laminate produced by the method of the present invention can improve the adhesive strength between the first adherend and the second adherend.

To form the curing agent layer 3, as illustrated in
The method of applying the curing agent is the same as the above-described method of applying the main agent.

The second adherend 5 has a thickness of, for example, 3 μm or more, preferably, 10 μm or more and, for example, 200 μm or less, preferably, 100 μm or less.
In this manner, the curing agent layer 3 is formed on the surface of the second adherend 5.
Then, the adhesive kit 1 that separately includes the main agent layer 2 disposed on (supported by) the first adherend 4 and the curing agent layer 3 disposed on (supported by) the second adherend 5 is composed.
For the adhesive kit 1, as described below, the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 are brought in contact with each other, thereby adhering the first adherend 4 and the second adherend 5 together.
When the main agent layer 2 and the curing agent layer 3 are brought into contact, the amino groups of the polyamine component in the main agent layer 2 reacts with the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate component in the curing agent layer 3.
The high reactivity in the reaction increases the initial adhesive force. The increased adhesive force forms a urea film at the interface of the main agent layer 2 and the curing agent layer 3 at the initial stage of the reaction. Thus, there is a disadvantage that the urea film inhibits the subsequent reaction, and the adhesive force (adhesive strength) does not develop at the later stage of the reaction.
Contrarily to the above, as described below, the adhesive kit 1 has a reactive parameter Pr represented by the following formula (1) at the reaction of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3, namely, a consumption ratio of isocyanate groups at the initial stage of the reaction (in other words, the consumption ratio of isocyanate groups at the time 3 minutes have passed since the start of the reaction to the amount of isocyanate groups before the start of the reaction) of more than 40%, preferably, 50% or more, more preferably, 60% or more.
Pr=(C0−C0.05)/C0×100 (1)
(In the above-described formula (1), C0 represents the amount of isocyanate groups contained in the curing agent layer 3 before the start of the reaction of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3. C0.05 represents the amount of isocyanate groups contained in the curing agent layer 3 at the time 3 minutes have passed since the start of the reaction of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3). The amount of the contained isocyanate groups can be obtained from the peak absorbance of the isocyanate groups in proximity to 2270 cm−1 with a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer.
When Pr is the above-described lower limit or more, excellent reactivity of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 is provided at the initial stage of the reaction. As a result, an excellent initial adhesive force is achieved.
Contrarily, when Pr is less than the above-described lower limit, the reactivity of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 is low at the initial stage of the reaction. As a result, the initial adhesive force decreases.
As described below, the adhesive kit 1 has a diffusion parameter Pd represented by the following formula (2) at the reaction of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3, namely, a consumption ratio of isocyanate groups at the later stage of the reaction (in other words, the consumption ratio of isocyanate groups between the time 3 minutes have passed since the start of the reaction and the time 24 hours have passed since the start of the reaction to the amount of isocyanate groups at the time 3 minutes have passed since the start of the reaction) of more than 15%, preferably, 20% or more, more preferably, 50% or more, even more preferably, 60% or more and, for example, 95% or less.
Pd=(C0.05−C24)/C0.05×100 (2)
(In the above-described formula (2), C0.05 represents the same as C0.05 of the above-described formula (1) does. C24 represents the amount of isocyanate groups contained in the curing agent layer 3 at the time 24 hours have passed since the start of the reaction of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3.) When Pd is the above-described lower limit or more, excellent diffusivity of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 is provided at the later stage of the reaction. As a result, the adhesive force (adhesive strength) can be developed.
Contrarily, when Pd is less than the above-described lower limit, the diffusivity of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 is low at the later stage of the reaction. As a result, the adhesive force (adhesive strength) is not developed.
In short, the adhesive kit 1 has the reactive parameter Pr and diffusion parameter Pd in the above-described predetermined ranges, thereby achieving an excellent initial adhesive force and an excellent adhesive force (adhesive strength).
As a result, the adhesive kit 1 is suitably used as an adhesive (laminate adhesive) used to produce a laminate film by adhering (bonding) a plurality of films to each other, specifically, as an adhesive (laminate adhesive) used to produce the packaging materials for various industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical drugs, and quasi-pharmaceutical products.
Next, a method of producing a laminate 6 produced using the adhesive kit 1 will be described with reference to
The method includes a first step of forming the main agent layer 2 on the surface of the first adherend 4, a second step of forming the curing agent layer 3 on the surface of the second adherend 5, a third step of bonding the first adherend 4 and the second adherend 5 to each other so that the main agent layer 2 and the curing agent layer 3 are brought into contact with each other, and a fourth step of curing the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3.
In the first step, as illustrated in
To form the main agent layer 2 on the surface of the first adherend 4, as described above, the main agent is applied on the surface of the first adherend 4.
In this manner, the main agent layer 2 is formed on the surface of the first adherend 4.
Next, in the second step, as illustrated in
To form the curing agent layer 3 on the surface of the second adherend 5, as described above, the curing agent is applied on the surface of the second adherend 5.
In this manner, the curing agent layer 3 is formed on the surface of the second adherend 5.
Next, in the third step, as illustrated in
In this manner, the main agent in the main agent layer 2 and the curing agent in the curing agent layer 3 are mixed so that they permeate each other.
Next, in the fourth step, the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 are cured.
To cure the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3, for example, thermal compression bonding (hot-pressing) is carried out.
In the thermal compression bonding, specifically, the first adherend 4 and second adherend 5 are pressed from both sides in a thickness direction at, for example, 0.1 MPa or more and 50 MPa or less, and simultaneously heated to 30° C. or more and 60° C. or less. The time of the thermal compression bonding is, for example, 10 seconds or more and 120 seconds or less.
In this manner, the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 are reacted and cured.
At the time, the equivalent ratio of the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate component in the main agent layer 2 relative to the amino groups of the polyamine component in the curing agent layer 3 (isocyanate group/amino group) is, for example, 0.6 or more, preferably, 1.0 or more and, for example, 2 or less.
In this manner, the first adherend 4 and second adherend 5 are adhered to each other, thereby producing the laminate 6.
The laminate 6 is obtained by adhering the first adherend 4 and second adherend 5 to each other by using the above-described adhesive kit 1.
Thus, in the laminate 6, the adhesive force (adhesive strength) between the first adherend 4 and second adherend 5 can be improved.
In the above description, the adhesive kit 1 separately includes the main agent layer 2 disposed on (supported by) the first adherend 4 and the curing agent layer 3 disposed on (supported by) the second adherend 5. The dispositions are not limited to the above. In other words, in the adhesive kit 1, the body supporting each of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 is not especially limited.
In other words, in the adhesive kit 1, as long as each of the main agent layer 2 and curing agent layer 3 is formed into a layer, for example, the main agent layer 2 and/or curing agent layer 3 may be formed on (supported by) a surface of a releasable film (not illustrated).
In such a case, in the above-described first step and/or second step, the main agent layer 2 and/or curing agent layer 3 are/is transferred to the first adherend 4 and/or second adherend 5, thereby forming the main agent layer 2 and/or curing agent layer 3 on the surface(s) of the first adherend 4 and/or second adherend 5.
The specific numeral values used in the description below, such as mixing ratios (contents), physical property values, and parameters can be replaced with the corresponding mixing ratios (contents), physical property values, and parameters in the above-described “DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS”, including the upper limit values (numeral values defined with “or less”, and “less than”) or the lower limit values (numeral values defined with “or more”, and “more than”). The “parts” and “%” are based on mass unless otherwise specified.

753 parts by mass of JEFFAMINE D-2000 (polyoxypropylene diamine) was put into a reactor, and stirred while being cooled with water. A mixture solution of 47 parts by mass of 1,3-xylylene diisocyanate (the product name TAKENATE T-500, manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.) and 200 parts by mass of ethyl acetate was dropped therein, taking 15 minutes (NCO/NH2=0.66). Thereafter, the obtained reaction solution (with a solid content concentration of 80 mass %) was further reacted in nitrogen atmosphere for two hours, thereby producing polyurea diamine.
The polyurea diamine of Production Example 1 was prepared as a polyamine component.
Then, the polyurea diamine of Production Example 1 was applied on a surface of CCP (a non-oriented polypropylene film, the product name RXC-22, a thickness of 60 μm, manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Inc.) (the applied amount (solid content) of 1.8 g/m2) and thereafter dried. In this manner, a main agent layer was produced.
Separately, TAKENATE A-3 (a trimethylolpropane modified product of tolylene diisocyanate) was prepared as a polyisocyanate component.
Then, the TAKENATE A-3 was applied on a surface of CCP (a non-oriented polypropylene film a non-oriented polypropylene film, the product name RXC-22, a thickness of 60 μm, manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Inc.) (the applied amount (solid content) of 0.2 g/m2). In this manner, a curing agent layer was produced.
In this manner, an adhesive kit was produced.
Next, the main agent layer and curing agent layer were bonded to each other so that they were brought into contact with each other, and compressively bonded for 30 seconds while being heated to 50° C. with a hot press machine.
In this manner, a laminate was produced.
The produced laminate was put together with a silica gel into a vessel, sealed and preserved at 25° C.
Except that the polyamine component and polyisocyanate component were changed according to Table 1, each of the adhesive kits and laminates was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1.
CCP and a film made by applying the curing agent on CCP were prepared to measure the light absorbance of the isocyanate groups in proximity to 2270 cm−1 with a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR). From the difference between the light absorbance of the film made by applying the curing agent on CCP and the light absorbance of the CCP, the amount (C0) of isocyanate groups contained in the curing agent layer before the start of the reaction of the main agent layer and curing agent layer was obtained.
Further, the curing agent layer was measured with the FT-IR at the time 3 minutes had passed and at the time 24 hours had passed since the production of the laminate. Then, the light absorbance at 2273 cm−1 at each of the times was calculated to obtain the amounts of the contained isocyanate groups (C0.05, and C24).
From the obtained C0, C0.05, and C24, based on the above-described formulas (1) and (2), the reactive parameter Pr and diffusion parameter Pd were calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.
40 mg of the main agent and (methyl urethanized) curing agent used in each of Examples and Comparative Examples was dissolved in 4 mL of tetrahydrofuran and prepared as a 1 mass/volume % solution. Thereafter, the solution was measured under the following conditions by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and its number-average molecular weight and weight-average molecular weight were measured in polystyrene standard calibration. The results are shown in Table 1.
