The present invention relates to a curable fluoropolyether adhesive agent composition and an optical component having a cured product of the composition.
Conventionally, as a fluorine-containing curable composition, a composition containing a linear fluoropolyether compound having at least two alkenyl groups in one molecule and having a perfluoropolyether structure in a main chain, a fluorine-containing organohydrogensiloxane having two or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to a silicon atom in one molecule, and a platinum group metal compound has been proposed, and it has been disclosed that a cured product having an excellent balance among heat resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, releasability, water repellency, oil repellency, low temperature characteristics and the like is obtained from the composition (Patent Document 1: JP 2990646).
In addition, as a composition that gives a cured product having more improved acid resistance than a cured product obtained from the composition described in Patent Document 1, a composition in which a linear fluoropolyether compound is changed has been proposed (Patent Document 2: JP 5246190).
Furthermore, a composition in which self-adhesive property to a metal and a plastic substrate is imparted by adding an organopolysiloxane having a hydrosilyl group (SiH group) and an epoxy group and/or a trialkoxysilyl group to these compositions has been proposed (Patent Document 3: JP 3239717 and Patent Document 4: JP 5459033).
In addition, a composition in which an organosiloxane having a cyclic carboxylic anhydride residue is added to the composition having self-adhesive property to improve adhesive property has been proposed (Patent Document 5: JP 3562578).
Incidentally, it has been proposed to use a composition having self-adhesive property and giving a cured product having good light transmittance for an optical component. For example, Patent Document 6: JP 5653877 introduces use of a material for sealing an optical semiconductor element. In addition, Patent Document 7: JP 5956391 introduces use as a surface layer material of a fixing member in an image forming apparatus equipped with a light reflection sensor.
However, since a cured product of such a composition has insufficient rubber strength, defects such as cracks easily generated by external impact often occurred. Therefore, improvement of rubber strength has been desired.
In order to solve this problem, Patent Document 8: JP 5735457 has proposed to add spherical silica particles having a mean particle size of 0.050 to 10 μm. However, in this case, although impact resistance is improved, it has sometimes caused inconvenience that the light transmittance of the cured product is greatly reduced.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a curable fluoropolyether adhesive agent composition that gives a cured product having good light transmittance and good adhesive property and excellent rubber strength, and an optical component having a cured product of the composition.
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventor has found that a curable fluoropolyether adhesive agent composition that gives a cured product having good light transmittance and good adhesive property and excellent rubber strength is obtained by using sodium fluoride as a component that improves rubber strength without significantly impairing the light transmittance with respect to a composition containing a predetermined component described later, and has completed the present invention.
Therefore, the present invention provides a curable fluoropolyether adhesive agent composition described below, and an optical component having a cured product of the composition.

In the use of these catalysts, a catalyst can be used in a solid state when the catalyst is a solid catalyst, but in order to obtain a more uniform cured product, for example, it is preferable to use a catalyst obtained by dissolving chloroplatinic acid or a complex in an is appropriate solvent such as toluene or ethanol, and compatibilizing the solution with the linear polyfluoro compound as the component (A).
