Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to: a curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition (hereinafter, referred to as a perfluoropolyether adhesive composition), a product of which is an adhesive (cured perfluoropolyether rubber or cured perfluoropolyether gel) having excellent heat resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, low-temperature properties, moisture resistance, low gas permeability, and so forth, and in particular, low adhesion; an adhesive including a cured product of the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition; and an adhesive tape including a cured product of the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition.


BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, it is proposed that a good cured product having well-balanced properties of heat resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, water repellency, oil repellency, weatherability, etc. can be obtained from a composition containing: a linear perfluoropolyether compound having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule and having a perfluoropolyether structure in a main chain; an organosilicon compound having two or more H—SiOSiO structures per molecule; and a hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2).


Meanwhile, adhesives are used in various situations, mainly labels and adhesive tapes to be attached to products. Recently, uses are expanding accompanying progress in electronic terminal-related technology, and examples include adhesive films for protecting displays and films for protection during product production processes. Furthermore, adhesives are not only used for surface protection, but also for optical members, making use of the transparency of the material. In addition, uses on the inside of products, for example, Optical Clear Adhesive Tapes (OCA tapes) are also being developed.


Main classifications of adhesives include acrylic types, rubber types, silicone types, etc., and each type has advantages and disadvantages. Silicone adhesives have a disadvantage regarding costs compared with acrylic types or rubber types, but have better properties such as heat resistance, cold resistance, weatherability, chemical resistance, and electric insulation property than the other two types of adhesives.


Recently, terminals such as mobile phones have become widespread. Most adhesive films for protecting the displays of such terminals use silicone adhesives. Silicone has favorable wettability to an adherend owing to characteristics thereof. Therefore, air bubbles do not get caught when bonding the adhesive film on and the adhesive film does not shift or peel off of its own accord; besides it is also possible to rebond the adhesive film since reworkability is good (Patent Document 3). The same is also true regarding protective films for use during product production processes, and heat resistance and so forth are further required. Therefore, a large amount of adhesive film using silicone adhesives used.


In addition, among mobile phones, terminals called smartphones, having higher performance than conventional mobile phones, are rapidly spreading, and many smartphones until now can be operated by touching a display called a touch screen instead of conventional buttons. Similar terminals include tablets, which are computers that can be carried easily and have a touch screen. Owing to the spreading of these terminals, the area or displays has become large, and accordingly, demands for adhesive films for protecting the screen are rising.


However, although such silicone adhesives have sufficient performance as they are for most uses, there has been strong desire for the emergence of an adhesive composition excellent in chemical resistance and solvent resistance for use on barcode labels and so forth that require further chemical resistance and solvent resistance, used in engines of vehicles and in processes of clinical examination and pathological examination.


In these circumstances, a curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition is proposed (Patent Document 4). It is shown that this composition has excellent heat resistance, weatherability, water repellency, oil repellency, and so forth, and also gives a cured product excellent in chemical resistance and solvent resistance. However, the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition has adhesion of 0.5 N/25 mm or more, and therefore, is not suited to low-adhesion usage, by which an adherend can be prevented from being easily damaged when the adherend has low strength.

The resulting chain-extended product can be used as the component (A).

Meanwhile, when the amount of the hydrosilyl groups (Si—H) is 4 mol or less, there is no risk of foaming during curing.


One kind of the component (B) can be used, or a combination of two or more kinds thereof can be used.

The component (C) hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst (addition-reaction catalyst) of the present invention is a catalyst that promotes an addition reaction between the hydrosilyl groups in the component (B) and the alkenyl groups in the component (A), or in the second embodiment of the present invention described below, the alkenyl groups in the component (A) and the component (E) described below. This hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst is generally a noble metal (platinum group metal) compound, which is expensive, and therefore, platinum or a platinum compound, which are relatively readily available, are often used.


Examples of the platinum compound include chloroplatinic acid, complexes of chloroplatinic acid with olefins such as ethylene, complexes of chloroplatinic acid with alcohols or vinylsiloxanes, and metallic platinum supported on silica, alumina, carbon, or the like.

The blended amount of the hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst can be a catalytic amount. Usually, the hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst is preferably contained in an amount of 0.1 to 500 ppm (in terms of the mass of the platinum group metal), more preferably 0.1 to 100 ppm based on the total mass of the components (A), (B), and (D). One kind of the component (C) hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst can be used, or a combination of two or more kinds thereof can be used.


Other Components

Besides the components (A) to (C), the inventive composition may optionally contain various additives. Examples of regulators for hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst include acetylenic alcohols such as 1-ethynyl-1-hydroxycyclohexane, 3-methyl-1-butyn-3-ol, 3,5-dimethyl-1-hexyn-3-ol, 3-methyl-1-penten-3-ol, and phenylbutynol; 3-methyl-3-penten-1-yne and 3,5-dimethyl-3-hexen-1-yne; polymethylvinylsiloxane cyclic compounds; and organophosphorus compounds. When such a regulator is contained, appropriate curing reactivity and storage stability can be maintained.


In addition, to impart adhesiveness, known tackifiers containing an epoxy group, an alkoxy group, or the like may also be contained. Examples of the tackifiers include adhesive-functional-group-containing hydrolyzable organosilane compounds having an epoxy group and a trialkoxysilyl group in a molecule (so-called epoxy group-containing silane coupling agents), (fluorine-containing) organohydrogenpolysiloxanes necessarily containing a silicon-bonded hydrogen atom (SiH group) in a molecule and further containing an epoxy group bonded to a silicon atom via a carbon atom or a carbon atom and an oxygen atom, (fluorine-containing) organohydrogenpolysiloxanes necessarily containing a silicon-bonded hydrogen atom (SiH group) in a molecule and further containing a trialkoxysilyl group bonded to a silicon atom via a carbon atom or a carbon atom and an oxygen atom, (fluorine-containing) organohydrogenpolysiloxanes necessarily containing a silicon-bonded hydrogen atom (SiH group) in a molecule, further containing an epoxy group bonded to a silicon atom via a carbon atom or a carbon atom and an oxygen atom, and containing a trialkoxysilyl group bonded to a silicon atom via a carbon atom or a carbon atom and an oxygen atom, etc.

Note that the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition of the second embodiment of the present invention contains the component (D) in an amount of 0 to 60 parts by mass. Therefore, the composition of the second embodiment of the present invention may or may not contain the component (D). That is, in the composition of the second embodiment of the present invention, the component (D) is an optional component. When the component of the second embodiment of the present invention contains a predetermined amount of the component (D), the composition gives a gel-form cured product (cured perfluoropolyether gel). Meanwhile, since the components (A) to (C) in the composition of the second embodiment of the present invention are the components (A) to (C) in the composition of the first embodiment described above, the composition of the second embodiment of the present invention in which the component (D) is not contained can be the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition of the first embodiment described above that gives a rubber-form cured product. In other words, the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition of the second embodiment of the present invention encompasses the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition of the first embodiment of the present invention. The curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition of the second embodiment of the present invention preferably contains 100 to 55 parts by mass of the component (A) and 0 to 45 parts by mass of the component (D) (provided that the total amount of the components (A) and (D) is 100 parts by mass).

The component (D) is a polyfluoromonoalkenyl compound having one alkenyl group per molecule and having a perfluoropolyether structure in a main chain. In particular, a polyfluoromonoalkenyl compound of the following formula (2) is preferable.

In the formulae, “m” is an integer of 1 to 200, in particular, an integer of 2 to 100.


When the polyfluoromonoalkenyl compound of the formula (2) is blended, the amount to be blended is selected so that in the curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition, the proportion of the component (A) linear perfluoropolyether dialkenyl compound to the component (D) in the composition is: 100 to 40 parts by mass or the component (A) to 0 to 60 parts by mass of the component (D), where the total amount of the component (A) and the component (D) is 100 parts by mass.


For example, the perfluoropolyether adhesive composition of the second embodiment of the present invention can contain the component (D) so that the proportion of the component (D) is 20 to 60 parts by mass relative to 80 to 40 parts by mass of the component (A), and so that the total amount of the component (A) and the component (D) is 100 parts by mass. Note that one kind of the component (D) polyfluoromonoalkenyl compound may be used, or two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination.


Other Components

In the present composition, various additives such as various tackifiers similar to those described above can be optionally contained besides the components (A) to (D) in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Examples of regulators for hydrosilylation-reaction catalyst include the same compounds as those described above.


Cured Product

The inventive perfluoropolyether adhesive composition forms an adhesive including cured perfluoropolyether rubber or cured perfluoropolyether gel having adhesion (low surface adhesion) of less than 0.5 N/25 mm, preferably 0.001 to 0.45 N/25 mm, more preferably 0.002 to 0.4 N/25 mm by curing the above-described composition. The inventive perfluoropolyether adhesive composition can form a cured product (an adhesive) excellent in heat resistance, water repellency, oil repellency, weatherability, and so forth, and moreover, particularly excellent in chemical resistance and solvent resistance, that can be used for various purposes.


Note that regarding the cured product obtained by curing the inventive perfluoropolyether adhesive composition, it is preferable to use a perfluoropolyether adhesive composition that satisfies the following conditions or the like in order to obtain a rubber- or gel-form cured product having surface adhesion of less than 0.5 N/25 mm. When a linear perfluoropolyether compound represented by the general formula is used as the component (A),


(i) in a composition containing a combination of 0 to 20 parts by mass of the component (D) with 100 to 80 parts by mass of the component (A) (the total of the component (A) and the component (D) being 100 parts by mass), use, as the component (B) crosslinking agent, a fluorine-containing organohydrogenpolysiloxane having a cyclic siloxane structure, or


(ii) in a composition containing a combination of 21 to 45 parts by mass of the component (D) with 79 to 55 parts by mass of the component (A) (the total of the component (A) and the component (D) being 100 parts by mass), use, as the component (B) crosslinking agent, a fluorine-containing polyorganohydrogensiloxane having a linear and/or branched siloxane structure. Alternatively, when. a polyfluorodialkenyl compound represented by the general formula (6) or (7) is contained as the component (A), the polyfluorodialkenyl compound being a linear perfluoropolyether compound containing repeating units of a (CF2O) unit and a (CF2CF2O) unit as the divalent perfluolopolyether Rf2 constituting the main chain,


(iii) in a composition containing a combination of 0 to 50 parts by mass of the component (D) with 100 to 50 parts by mass of the component (the total of the component (A) and the component (D) being 100 parts by mass), use, as the component (B) crosslinking agent, a fluorine-containing organohydrogenpolysiloxane having a linear and/or branched siloxane structure.


For example, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the perfluoropolyether adhesive composition can be cured and formed by using, based on 100 parts by mass of the component (A), the component (B) in such an amount that 0.2 to 3.0 mol of the hydrosilyl groups in the component (B) is contained based on 1 mol of the total of the alkenyl groups contained in the component (A), and 0.1 to 100 ppm of the component (C) based on a total amount of the components (A) and (B) in terms of platinum.


In addition, for example, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the perfluoropolyether adhesive composition can be cured and formed by using, based on 100 to 40 parts by mass of the component (A), 0 to 60 parts by mass of the component (D) provided that the total of the components (A) and (D) is 100 parts by mass, the component (B) in such an amount that 0.2 to 3.0 mol of the hydrosilyl groups in the component (B) is contained based on 1 mol of the total of the alkenyl groups contained in the components (A) and (D), and 0.1 to 100 ppm of the component (C) based on a total amount of the components (A), (B), and (D) in terms of platinum.


The formation of the perfluoropolyether adhesive composition is performed by coating an appropriate substrate with one of the inventive compositions and then curing the composition, or by a conventionally known method by bonding or the like. Curing can be performed easily, usually by a heat treatment at a temperature of 60 to 150° C. and of about 1 to 30 minutes.


The inventive adhesive containing the inventive perfluoropolyether adhesive composition can be used, for example, for automobiles, chemical plants, semiconductor manufacturing lines, analytical or scientific instruments, medical equipment, aircraft, and optical components.


Furthermore, for example, an adhesive tape obtained by providing a cured product (cured perfluoropolyether rubber or cured perfluoropolyether gel) layer of the inventive curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition on a substrate formed from an organic resin film such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film is excellent in heat resistance, oil resistance, low-temperature properties, moisture resistance, low gas permeability, and so forth, and is particularly useful as an adhesive tape having a non-conductive adhesive layer excellent in chemical resistance and solvent resistance.


When the inventive adhesive composition is applied, it is advantageous to use a known primer in order to improve the bond or adhesion of the inventive adhesive composition to the substrate. The use of a primer prevents penetration of chemicals and solvents from the substrate interface, and improves the acid resistance, chemical resistance, and solvent resistance of entire parts.


As the primer, use may be made of silane-based primers based on silane coupling agents, organohydrogenpolysiloxane-based primers, synthetic rubber-based primers, acrylic resin-based primers, urethane resin-based primers, and epoxy resin-based primers. The perfluoropolyether rubber composition of the present invention having a tackifier added thereto is also useful as the primer.


Furthermore, the cured product (cured perfluoropolyether rubber or cured perfluoropolyether gel) of the inventive curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition is preferably a non-conductive adhesive having a volume resistivity of 1×109 Ω·cm or more. Such a curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition of the present invention is suitable as a material for a non-conductive adhesive. The upper limit of the volume resistivity of the cured product of the inventive curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1×1013 Ω·cm.


Such a perfluoropolyether adhesive composition or the present invention is excellent in heat resistance, weatherability, oil resistance, low-temperature properties, moisture resistance, low gas permeability, water repellency, oil repellency, etc., is particularly excellent in chemical resistance and solvent resistance, and provides a low-adhesion cured product (adhesive). An adhesive tape including a cured product having low adhesion can be peeled off without damaging a substrate even when bonded to a fragile substrate.


In addition, a third embodiment of the present invention is the adhesive including the cured product (cured perfluoropolyether rubber or cured perfluoropolyether gel) of the inventive curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition described above.


As described above, the inventive perfluoropolyether adhesive composition can give a cured product (adhesive) excellent in heat resistance, weatherability, oil resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, low-temperature properties, moisture resistance, low gas permeability, water repellency, oil repellency, and so forth. Accordingly, the inventive adhesive is excellent in heat resistance, weatherability, oil resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, low-temperature properties, moisture resistance, low gas permeability, water repellency, oil repellency, etc. Moreover, the cured product contained in the inventive adhesive has low adhesion. Therefore, an adhesive tape including the inventive adhesive can be peeled from a substrate without damaging the substrate even when bonded to a fragile substrate.


Furthermore, a fourth embodiment of the present invention is the adhesive tape described above, including a provided cured layer of the inventive curable perfluoropolyether adhesive composition.


As described above, the inventive perfluoropolyether adhesive composition can provide a cured product (adhesive) excellent in heat resistance, weatherability, oil resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, low-temperature properties, moisture resistance, low gas permeability, water repellency, oil repellency, and so forth. Accordingly, the inventive adhesive tape is excellent in heat resistance, weatherability, oil resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, low-temperature properties, moisture resistance, low gas permeability, water repellency, oil repellency, etc. Moreover, the cured product contained in the inventive adhesive tape has low adhesion. Therefore, the inventive adhesive tape can be peeled from a substrate without damaging the substrate even when bonded to a fragile substrate.

Adhesion Measurement

The compositions of the Examples and Comparative Examples were respectively applied to a 50-μm thick and 25-mm wide PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film by using an applicator so as to have a thickness of 30 μm. Subsequently, each composition was cured to a rubber or gel form by heating under conditions of 130° C. and 5 minutes. Thus, adhesive tapes each having a 30-μm thick adhesive layer (cured rubber layer or cured gel layer) provided on a 50-μm thick PET film were fabricated. Each of these adhesive tapes was bonded to a metal plate (polished stainless steel plate). A roller having a weight of 2 kg and covered with a rubber layer was moved back and forth over the tape substrate once to press the adhesive tape on. The adhesive tape was left to stand at room temperature for 20 hours. Then, at 25° C., the force (N/25 mm) required to peel the adhesive tape away from the stainless steel plate at a tensile rate of 300 mm/minute at an angle of 180° was measured as the adhesion of each adhesive layer (cured rubber layer or cured gel layer) by using a tensile testing machine.


Solvent Resistance Test (Weight Change)

3 g of the compositions of the Examples and Comparative Examples were respectively charged into a ϕ×15 mm glass container. Then, each composition was cured under the conditions of 130° C. and 5 minutes to produce a sample. Each sample was immersed in xylene and Fuel C (a 50/50 (wt %) mixed solution of toluene/isooctane) at 25° C. for 7 days, and the weight change rate of before and after the immersion was measured.
