This invention relates to an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, a method for preparing the same, and an addition-cure silicone composition useful as a coating material.
Addition-cure silicone compositions, when cured, have many advantages including heat resistance, weathering resistance and chemical resistance and also exhibit good properties of electric insulation, low-temperature behavior, and gas permeability. With respect to mold release, antifoaming and water repellency, they have unique properties which are not observed in other resins. Thus the silicone compositions are used in a wide variety of applications as the coating material that can take advantage of interfacial properties.
The addition-cure silicone compositions which are currently in commercial use generally contain an alkenyl-containing organopolysiloxane as a base, a SiH-containing organohydrogenpolysiloxane as a crosslinking agent, and a metal complex capable of catalyzing addition reaction as a cure catalyst. As to the organohydrogen-polysiloxane, various structures have been proposed. Regardless of whether the structure is linear or branched, those organohydrogenpolysiloxanes having a side chain consisting of polysiloxane units of the following formula (7) and/or (8):
wherein R is an organic group of one or more carbon atoms are most often used. They are generally divided into two classes, organohydrogenpolysiloxanes of the homopolymer structure consisting of units of formula (7) except the terminal groups, and organohydrogenpolysiloxanes of the copolymer structure wherein basic units of formulae (7) and (8) are randomly arranged.
The two classes of organohydrogenpolysiloxanes have different characteristics. The organohydrogenpolysiloxanes of the copolymer structure are more effectively curable. On the other hand, the organohydrogenpolysiloxanes of the homopolymer structure are superior in the adhesion to substrates which is requisite for use as a coating material. Each crosslinking agent has both merits and demerits. There is a need for a crosslinking agent meeting both the functions.

Orcranohydrogenpolysiloxane
The novel crosslinking agent of the invention is an organohydrogenpolysiloxane comprising in the molecule at least two structural units of formula (1), which are connected to each other via a SiH-free structural unit.
In formula (1), R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, examples of which include alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl, cycloalkyl groups such as cyclohexyl, aryl groups such as phenyl and tolyl, and substituted forms of the foregoing groups in which some or all hydrogen atoms are replaced by hydroxyl, cyano or halogen, such as hydroxypropyl, cyanoethyl, 1-chloropropyl and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl. It is preferred for curability that R1 be alkyl or aryl. The subscript “a” is an integer of at least 2, preferably 2 to 50, and more preferably 3 to 30.
Preferably the organohydrogenpolysiloxane has a linear or branched structure and is terminated with a (R2)3SiO— and/or H(R2)2SiO— group wherein R2 is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
Also preferably the organohydrogenpolysiloxane comprises recurring structural units of formula (2).
Herein R1 and “a” are as defined above. R2 is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, examples of which include alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl, cycloalkyl groups such as cyclohexyl, aryl groups such as phenyl and tolyl, and substituted forms of the foregoing groups in which some or all hydrogen atoms are replaced by hydroxyl, cyano or halogen, such as hydroxypropyl, cyanoethyl, 1-chloropropyl and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl.

Accordingly, formula (2) may be rewritten as the following formulae (2)-1, (2)-2 and (2)-3.
The organohydrogenpolysiloxane of the invention is useful as a crosslinking agent in addition-cure compositions which are based on alkenyl-containing polymers and rely on hydrosilylation reaction. While these compositions may use any organic polymers as the alkenyl-containing polymer, it is preferred from the standpoint of compatibility to use the organohydrogenpolysiloxane as a crosslinking agent for silicone polymers. Since the properties of the cured product vary depending on the nature of the base polymer, the organohydrogenpolysiloxane is effective in almost all applications where the cured product is used. The organohydrogenpolysiloxane is best suited for use in the coating application where the functions of cure and adhesion are expected to be advantageous.
While the amount of the organohydrogenpolysiloxane compounded in the addition-cure composition depends on the molar amount of alkenyl groups in the base polymer, it is preferably such that 0.5 to 20 moles, more preferably 0.8 to 5 moles of SiH groups from the organohydrogenpolysiloxane are available per mole of alkenyl groups from the base polymer.
Method
The method for preparing the organohydrogenpolysiloxane is not limited as long as the desired structure is maintained. Typically it is prepared by effecting addition reaction between a siloxane monomer having the following general formula (3), (4), (5) or (6):
wherein R2 is an optionally substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and a both end alkenyl-capped compound, specifically addition reaction between SiH groups of the siloxane monomer of formula (3), (4), (5) or (6) and terminal alkenyl groups of the alkenyl-containing compound, to form an adduct, and effecting acid equilibration reaction between the adduct and a SiH-containing cyclic siloxane.
In one preferred method, a siloxane monomer having the formula (9):
wherein Me is methyl is reacted with a both end alkenyl-capped compound to synthesize an adduct 1 having a siloxane unit and a silalkylene linkage in the molecule. Then acid equilibration reaction is effected between adduct 1 and a SiH-containing cyclic siloxane such as 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, thereby introducing units of formula (1) into the siloxane moiety in adduct 1. There is obtained an organohydrogenpolysiloxane in which units of the formula:
wherein R1 is as defined above are incorporated as block units.
Examples of the both end alkenyl-capped compound include 1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 1,4-pentadiene, 1,3-hexadiene, 1,4-hexadiene, 1,5-hexadiene, 2,4-hexadiene, 1,6-heptadiene, 1,7-octadiene, 1,8-nonadiene, 1,9-decadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, norbornadiene, and 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane.
Examples of the SiH-containing cyclic siloxane include those of the following formula (10):

In the first step, the siloxane monomer of formula (3) to (6) and the alkenyl-containing compound are preferably combined in such amounts that 0.8 to 1.2 moles of alkenyl groups from the alkenyl-containing compound may be available per mole of SiH groups from formula (3) to (6). Addition reaction may be effected by a standard technique. An addition reaction catalyst such as platinum or platinum compounds may be used in such an amount as to provide 1 to 200 ppm of platinum based on the total weight of the alkenyl-containing compound used. Reaction may run at a temperature of 30 to 150° C., preferably 50 to 120° C. The reaction time is usually 30 minutes to 24 hours.
In the second step, adduct 1 and the SiH-containing cyclic siloxane are preferably combined in such amounts that 0.1 to 50 moles of the SiH-containing cyclic siloxane is present per mole of adduct 1. Acid equilibration reaction may also be effected by a standard technique. The acid may be any of those acids commonly used in acid equilibration reaction, preferably sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The acid may be used in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of adduct 1 and the SiH-containing cyclic siloxane. Acid equilibration reaction may run at a temperature of 5 to 100° C., preferably 20 to 70° C. The reaction time is usually 1 to 48 hours.

Cure
A silicone composition immediately after its preparation was coated onto a polyethylene-laminated paper sheet to a coating weight of 1.0 g/m2 and heated in a hot air dryer at 120° C. for a certain time. The cured sheet was rubbed several strokes with the finger and visually judged for haze and peel-off. The time (sec) taken for curing is an index of cure.
Adhesion

The cured sheet was kept for one day at room temperature before it was rubbed several strokes with the finger and visually judged for haze and peel-off. The test result indicates initial adhesion. Separately the cured sheet was kept for 7 days in a thermostatic chamber at a temperature of 40° C. and a humidity of 90% before it was rubbed several strokes with the finger and visually judged for haze and peel-off. The test result indicates aged adhesion.

The cured sheet was kept for one day at room temperature. Thereafter, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive BPS-5127 (Toyo Ink Co., Ltd.) was coated onto the cured sheet and heat treated at 100° C. for 3 minutes. Another 64 g/m2 fine paper sheet was attached to the adhesive-coated surface. The assembly was cut into a strip sample of 5 cm wide. The sample was aged at room temperature for one day. Using a tensile tester, the fine paper sheet was peeled from the sample at an angle of 180° and a pulling rate of 0.3 m/min. The force required for peeling was measured and reported as peeling force.

The polyester tape was peeled off, and the tape was attached to a stainless steel plate. Using a tensile tester, the tape was peeled from the steel plate. The force required for peeling was similarly measured and designated as bond strength (B) of a blank not in contact with the cured silicone surface. A percent residual adhesion was calculated according to the equation.
residual adhesion=(bond strength A)/(blank bond strength B)×100
