Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、シラン化合物の組成物に関する。特に、人工大理石用充填剤として用いられるケイ酸含有物質の表面処理に使用される、基材の被覆性能に優れ、組成物としても長期に渡り安定性を有するシラン化合物の組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
いわゆるシランカップリング剤で無機材料、有機材料、金属材料等の表面を処理し、さらにこれらの表面処理された材料を充填剤として複合材料に用いることは従来から行われている。人工大理石も、樹脂に充填剤を混合、成形して作製されるが、この際、充填剤の表面処理にシランカップリング剤等のケイ素化合物を用いると、強度、意匠性、耐熱性などの特性の向上することが知られている。
【0003】
例えば、特公平3−68059号公報には、シリコーン樹脂を用いて表面処理をした水酸化アルミニウムを含む人造大理石製造用樹脂組成物が開示されており、ゲル化時間の短縮、硬化物の着色が減少する等の効果があると記載されている。
【0004】
また、特開平7−2555号公報では、アルコキシシランの加水分解物に、この加水分解物の有する2以上のヒドロキシル基と反応しうる2以上の官能基を有する有機化合物を配合して得られる液状反応性配合物を充填剤にコーティングした後、乾燥し、これを樹脂に混合・成形してなる人工大理石について記載されており、これによって耐水性および強度の優れた人工大理石が得られるとの記載がある。
【0005】
しかしながら、従来の技術では、得られる人工大理石の熱水試験後の強度および表面状態の改良が不十分であり、更なる改良が望まれている。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、人工大理石の充填剤として用いられるケイ酸含有物質の表面処理剤であって、得られる人工大理石の熱水試験後の強度を向上し、吸水率を下げると共に表面状態の低下を抑えることができる表面処理剤を提供することを課題とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、前記課題を解決するため鋭意研究の結果、特定のシラン化合物に炭素−炭素二重結合を含有するシラン化合物を組み合わせることにより課題を解決できることを見出し、本発明をなすに至った。
すなわち、本発明は、

【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明について、以下具体的に説明する。
本発明における(A)成分は、R Si(OR4−sであらわされるシラン化合物である。上記式中、Rは各々異なっていても同じでもよい炭化水素基、Rは各々異なっていても同じでもよい炭化水素基またはアルコキシ炭化水素基であり、sは0〜3の整数である。
【0010】
の具体例を挙げれば、メチル、エチル、プロピル、ブチル、シクロヘキシル、ヘキシル、イソ−2−エチルヘキシル、オクチル、フェニル、ベンジル、ナフチル等の炭化水素基であり、これらの炭化水素基は分岐していても直鎖状であってもよく、また1分子のR Si(OR4−s中でのRが同一でも、一部同一でも、すべて異なっていても良い。
【0011】
式中、Rは各々同じ、または一部同じか、またはそれぞれ異なっていてもよい炭化水素基またはアルコキシ炭化水素基である。Rの具体例を挙げれば、メチル、エチル、プロピル、ブチル、シクロヘキシル、ヘキシル、イソ−2−エチルヘキシル、オクチル、シクロヘキシル、フェニル、ベンジル、ナフチルなどの炭化水素基、1−メトキシプロピルなどのアルキルオキシアルキル基等であり、これらは分岐していても直鎖状であってもよく、また1分子のSiR (OR4−s中でのRが同一でも、一部同一でも、すべて異なっていても良い。
【0012】
加水分解速度の面でRはメチル基、エチル基であることがより好ましい場合が多い。つまり、(B)成分との加水分解速度を合わせる方がより良い結果を示す傾向にある。さらに(B)成分のようにアルコキシ基が他のアルキル基等に置換されると加水分解速度は遅くなる傾向にある。但し、アルコキシ基の炭素数が増加するにつれ加水分解速度がさらに遅くなるため、適正な加水分解速度を持つ(A)成分が、特に好適に本発明では用いることができる。さらに(A)成分は本明細書中に記述した(A)成分の範囲の2種類以上の化合物を混合して用いることも有効である。
【0013】
好ましい(A)成分の、具体例を挙げるとすれば、テトラエトキシシラン、テトラメトキシシラン、メチルトリエトキシシラン、ジメチルジエトキシシラン、トリメチルエトキシシラン、メチルトリメトキシシラン、ジメチルジメトキシシラン、トリメチルメトキシシラン、オクチルトリエトキシシラン、オクチルトリメトキシシラン等であり、より好ましくはテトラエトキシシランである。
【0014】
これら(A)成分は、99.9〜0.1重量%添加することが必要であり、より好ましくは80〜20重量%、さらに好ましくは70〜30重量%用いられる。
【0015】
本発明の(A)成分は、(B)成分と共に用いて本発明の効果を達成するものであるが、(A)成分を用いるにあたって、予め(B)成分と共に加水分解してから用いることもできる。共加水分解物の場合、流動性であることが望ましく、望ましい粘度は25℃において0.1〜10,000,000cSt、より好ましくは0.1〜1,000,000cStである。
【0016】
本発明における(B)成分は、R Si(ORであらわされるシラン化合物およびまたはその加水分解物である。式中、Rは各々異なってまたは同じでよい炭化水素基又はアルコキシ炭化水素基、Rは1分子中、各々異なってまたは同じでよい炭化水素基、Xは炭素−炭素二重結合を有する有機基、mは0〜3の整数、n、pは1〜3の整数、m+n+p=4である。
【0017】
、Rの具体例は、前記したR、Rと各々同様であり、また1分子のR Si(OR中でのR、Rそれぞれにおいて、同一でも、一部同一でも、すべて異なっていても良い。製造上の容易さと、加水分解速度からRはメチルまたはエチルであることがより好ましい。
【0018】
Si(ORにおいて、Xは炭素−炭素二重結合を有する有機基であって、ビニル基、アクリル基、メタクリル基から選択されることが好ましく、1分子中で同一であっても異なっていてもよい。
【0019】
(B)成分のR Si(ORにおいて、pは1または2であることが好ましく、より好ましくは1である。mは0〜2であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0又は1である。nは2または3であることが好ましく、より好ましくは3である。最も好ましい組み合わせは、n=3、m=0、p=1である。さらに(B)成分は、本明細書中に記述した(B)成分の2種類以上の化合物を混合して用いることも有効である。
【0020】
本発明の(B)成分はR Si(ORであらわされるシラン化合物の加水分解物でも良い。加水分解物の場合、流動性であることが望ましく、望ましい粘度は25℃において0.1〜10,000,000cSt、より好ましくは0.1〜1,000,000cStである。これらの加水分解物は加水分解反応残基、すなわちOR残基またはOH残基を有し、かつ、反応基を有するXで表される有機基の反応基が反応しない状態で用いられることが好ましい。これら加水分解物を作製する際、前述したように(A)成分と一緒に加水分解することは好ましく行われる。この際、速度を調整して加水分解することが重要で、これにより成分比、残留基等を調整できる。
【0021】
これら(B)成分は、99.9〜0.1重量%添加することが必要であり、より好ましくは80〜20重量%、さらに好ましくは70〜30重量%用いられる。
【0022】
本発明のシラン化合物組成物またはその加水分解物は、人工大理石用のケイ酸含有充填剤に好適に用いられる。このケイ酸含有充填剤として通常数mm以下、好ましくは500μm以下のものを用いることができる。これらのケイ酸含有充填剤としては珪藻土、石英、長石、安山岩、氷晶石等のけい酸塩鉱物やガラスフリット、ミルドガラスファイバー等のガラス質充填剤、シリカ粉末等の人工大理石の原料として用いられているものの処理に適している。本発明の処理剤は、人工大理石用のガラス質充填剤に好適に使用され、特にガラスフリットに用いた場合に最もその効果を発揮する。
【0023】
また、コーティング処理としては、ケイ酸含有充填剤の表面処理方法として用いられる各種の方法を用いることができる。例えば、乾式法として充填剤を攪拌するなかで処理液を分散させる方法、または湿式法として水中で処理液にケイ酸含有充填剤を入れて処理する方法や、水系の溶媒に溶解させた処理液を噴霧する方法等々を挙げることができる。
【0024】
たとえば、ヘンシェルミキサーにケイ酸含有充填剤と上記処理剤を添加し、混合する。通常ケイ酸含有充填剤100重量%に対し上記配合物を0.1〜30重量%添加する。攪拌温度は通常室温〜150℃で、好ましくは室温〜100℃、攪拌時間は1〜60分間で、好ましくは5〜10分間、攪拌速度は10〜5,000rpmで、好ましくは1,000〜3,000rpmで行なわれる。次いで乾燥を行なうが、乾燥温度は室温〜200℃、好ましくは60〜120℃、乾燥時間は1分〜12時間、好ましくは10〜60分間である。
【0025】
こうして得られたコーティングされたケイ酸含有充填剤を、耐水性、高強度、成形性にすぐれた樹脂、たとえばビニルエステル樹脂(熱可塑性アクリル樹脂、熱硬化アクリル樹脂)、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂等の通常、人工大理石の原料として用いられている樹脂に混合する。樹脂100重量%に対しコーティングされたケイ酸含有充填剤は10〜300重量%、好ましくは50〜200重量%である。また、インテグラルブレンド法として知られる方法を用いても良い。すなわち、硬化前の樹脂に本発明の表面処理剤を入れた後に、処理していないケイ酸含有充填剤粒を添加する方法である。
【0026】
本発明において、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂またはビニルエステル樹脂としては、それ自体公知の任意のもの、特に不飽和ポリエステルプレポリマーとエチレン系不飽和単量体との組合せが使用される。
【0027】
不飽和ポリエステルプレポリマーとしては、エチレン系不飽和ポリカルボン酸を含む少なくとも1種の多価カルボン酸と、少なくとも1種のジオール類とから誘導された不飽和ポリエステル類が使用される。エチレン系不飽和ポリカルボン酸としては、マレイン酸、無水マレイン酸、フマル酸、イタコン酸、テトラヒドロ無水フタル酸、3,6−エンドメチレンテトラヒドロ無水フタル酸等を挙げることができ、これらとの組合せで使用される多価カルボン酸としては、無水フタル酸、イソフタル酸、テレフタル酸、テトラクロル無水フタル酸、アジピン酸、セバチン酸、コハク酸等が挙げられる。ジオール成分の適当な例は、エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリエチレングリコール、1,2−プロピレングリコール、ブタンジオール、ネオペンチルグリコール、水素化ビスフェノールA、2,2−ビス(4−オキシエトキシフェニル)プロパン、2,3−ビス(4−オキシプロポキシフェニル)プロパン等を挙げることができる。
【0028】
ビニルエステルプレポリマーとしては、エステル連鎖またはエーテル連鎖の末端にビニル基を有するプレポリマーであるが、一般にはエポキシアクリレートを指す。
【0029】
エチレン系不飽和単量体としては、ラジカル重合可能な液状の単量体の1種または2種以上の組合せが使用される。勿論、用いる単量体とポリエステルプレポリマーとの組合せは、均質な溶液を形成し得るものでなければならない。単量体の適当な例は、スチレン、ビニルトルエン、α−メチルスチレン、ジビニルベンゼン等のビニル芳香族類;アクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸メチル、ジアリルフタレート、トリアリルシアヌル酸等のエチレン不飽和エステルモノマー類等であるが、例示したものに限定されない。
【0030】
上記プレポリマーとエチレン系不飽和単量体とは、一般に70:30〜45:55の重量比で用いるのがよい。プレポリマーの単量体溶液は一般に50〜8000cps(25℃)の粘度を有していることが望ましい。
【0031】
以上詳述した成分を充分に混合したのち、通常の成形法、たとえば注型成形、押出成形、射出成形等を用いて所定の形状とすることにより人工大理石が得られる。
【0032】
この他に、安定剤、加工助剤、ガラス繊維、例示した以外の樹脂、例示した以外の無機充填剤を本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で添加しても良い。
