Curable silicone compositions

Abstract: A curable silicone composition based on an organopolysiloxane having a cyclotrisiloxane structure quickly cures by brief heating or ultraviolet exposure. It further contains an acid, acid generator, base or base generator or an onium salt photo-initiator as a curing agent. The cured product has release property from adhesive substance which remains unchanged with the lapse of time and good mold release properties, and thus provides a lightly releasable cured film. The composition is widely used as adhesive tape backing agents, mold release agents, protective coating agents, water and oil repellent agents, and paint base.

Description: This invention relates to novel curable silicone compositions, their preparation and use. Technical aspects addressed herein include the achievement of quick cure by brief heating or ultraviolet exposure. End uses envisaged for the compositions include use as backing agents for adhesive tape, release agents, protective coating agents, water and oil repellent agents, and paint bases. In general, curable silicone compositions include compositions of the condensation reaction type comprising an organopolysiloxane having a ≡SiOH group, an organopolysiloxane having a hydrolyzable group attached to a silicon atom or organosilane, and a curing promoter; compositions of the addition reaction type comprising an organopolysiloxane having a ≡SiH group, an organopolysiloxane having an alkenyl group attached to a silicon atom, and a platinum curing catalyst; and compositions of the heat vulcanization type using peroxide curing agents. They are widely used in a variety of applications. In one typical application, for the purpose of preventing adhesion or bond between substrates such as paper, converted paper and plastic film and pressure-sensitive adhesives, silicone compositions which will cure upon exposure to ultraviolet light or an electron beam are applied to the substrate surface to form cured coatings thereon. This is generally known as release paper. Known silicone compositions capable of forming releasable cured coatings which can be used as release paper include compositions which contain an alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane, a polyorganohydrosiloxane and a platinum catalyst and which rely on addition reaction and compositions which contain an epoxy group-containing organopolysiloxane and an onium salt photo-initiator and which rely on photo-cationic curing reaction (see JP-A 38350/1981). The former silicone compositions relying on addition reaction have the problem that the release of the cured coating from adhesive substance lowers with the lapse of time since unreacted SiH groups are left in the cured coating. The latter silicone compositions relying on photo-cationic curing reaction have the problem that a strong force is required for release because of inclusion of epoxy groups. It is desired to overcome these problems. According to the invention, there is provided a curable silicone composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having a cyclotrisiloxane structure as set out in claim 1. An acid, acid generator, base or base generator may be blended in the composition as a curing agent. Or, an onium salt photo-initiator may be blended as curing agent. The composition quickly cures by heating or ultraviolet exposure for a short time. The cured product has release property from adhesive substance which remains stable after long-term storage at high temperature, and thus provides a releasable cured film which has good release from molds and can be lightly releasable because elimination of epoxy groups is possible. FURTHER EXPLANATIONS; PREFERRED AND OPTIONAL FEATURES An organopolysiloxane having a cyclotrisiloxane structure is used as a component of a curable silicone composition. The organopolysiloxanes have in a molecule at least two structural units represented by the following general formula (1): R a X b SiO (4-a-b)/2 wherein R is an organic group including a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group and an alkoxy group, X is a cyclotrisiloxane structure-containing group, and letters a and b are integers in the range: 0 ≤ a ≤ 2, 1 ≤ b ≤ 3, and a + b ≤ 3. These organopolysiloxanes may be linear, branched or cyclic. In formula (1), the hydrocarbon groups represented by R are preferably those groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, for example, alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl and decyl; cycloalkyl groups such as cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl; alkenyl groups such as vinyl, allyl, propenyl, isopropenyl, butenyl, isobutenyl, hexenyl and cyclohexenyl; aryl groups such as phenyl, tolyl and xylyl; aralkyl groups such as benzyl, phenylethyl, phenylpropyl and methylbenzyl; and substituted ones of these groups wherein some or all of the hydrogen atoms each attached to a carbon atom are replaced by e.g. hydroxy groups, cyano groups or halogen atoms, such as hydroxypropyl, cyanoethyl, chloromethyl, 2-bromoethyl, 3-chloropropyl, 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl, chlorophenyl, fluorophenyl and 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-nonafluorohexyl. The alkoxy groups represented by R are preferably those groups having 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy and butoxy. X represents a cyclotrisiloxane structure which is preferably a group of the following formula (2): wherein R' are substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms as mentioned above for R in formula (1) or trialkylsilyloxy groups such as trimethysilyloxy group, dimethylbutylsilyloxy group and tributylsililoxy group, and R 1 is a divalent hydrocarbon group. The alkyl groups in the trialkylsilyloxy group have e.g.1 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Exemplary hydrocarbon groups represented by R 1 are alkylene groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms such as methylene, ethylene and propylene, cycloalkylene groups having 3 to 8 carbon atoms such as cyclohexylene, arylene groups having 6 to 8 carbon atoms such as phenylene, oxyalkylene groups having a formula of - R 2 O- wherein R 2 is an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms as for R 1 above, and polyoxyalkylene groups having a formula of -(R 2 O) n -, wherein R 2 has the same meaning as above and n is an integer of 2 to 20. The preferred substituent X has the following formula (3): wherein Me is a methyl group and R 1 has the same meaning as above. Illustrative examples of substituent X are given below. Note that Me is methyl. The organopolysiloxane containing a unit of formula (1) having a cyclotrisiloxane structure may contain one or more other units, typically at least one unit selected from R 3 3 SiO 1/2 , R 3 2 SiO, R 3 SiO 3/2 , and SiO 2 units wherein R 3 has the same options as defined for R. The proportion of the siloxane unit of formula (1) having a cyclotrisiloxane structure relative to the entire siloxane units contained therein is not critical although it is preferably about 0.5 to 70 mol%, more preferably about 1 to 40 mol% for ease of synthesis. Curing is less effective with less than 0.5 mol% of the siloxane unit of formula (1) whereas organopolysiloxanes containing more than 70 mol% of the siloxane unit of formula (1) would be difficult to synthesize. The organopolysiloxane having a cyclotrisiloxane structure according to the present invention preferably has the following average compositional formula (A): R 3 1 XSiO (4-i-j)/2 wherein R 3 and X are the same meaning as above, and i and j are numbers satisfying 0 ≤ i ≤ 1.999, 0.005 ≤ j ≤ 2.100 and 0.015 ≤ i+j ≤ 3.000. Examples of the organopolysiloxane are given below. In the following formulae, R 3 and X are the same meaning as above. R 3 3 SiO-[R 3 XSiO] L -[R 3 2 SiO] M -SiR 3 3 wherein letters L and M are integers (including 0) satisfying 2 ≤ L ≤ 2100 and 2 ≤ L+M ≤ 3000. R 3 2 XSiO-[R 3 XSiO] L -[R 3 2 SiO] M -SiR 3 2 X wherein letters L and M are integers (including 0) satisfying 0 ≤ L ≤ 2100 and 1 ≤ L+M ≤ 3000. [R 3 3 SiO 1/2 ] P -[R 3 XSiO] Q -[R 3 2 SiO] R -[R 3 SiO 3/2 ] S wherein letters P, Q, R and S are integers (including 0) satisfying 2 ≤ Q ≤ 2100 and 3 ≤ P+Q+R+S ≤ 3000. wherein letters L and M are integers (including 0) satisfying 2 ≤ L ≤ 5 and 3 ≤ L+M ≤ 20. More embodied examples of the organopolysiloxane containing a unit of formula (1) having a cyclotrisiloxane structure are given below while they may be used alone or in admixture of two or more. Me 3 SiO-[MeXSiO] 2 -[Me 2 SiO] 8 -SiMe 3 Me 3 SiO-[MeXSiO] 3 -[Me 2 SiO] 25 -SiMe 3 Me 2 XSiO-[Me 2 SiO] 8 -[Me 2 SiO] 90 -SiMe 2 X Me 2 XSiO-[Me 2 SiO] 18 -SiMe 2 X Me 2 XSiO-[Me 2 SiO] 20 -SiMe 2 X Me 3 SiO-[MeXSiO] 4 -[Me 2 SiO] 15 -[MePhSiO] 1 -SiMe 3 [Me 2 XSiO 1/2 ] 4 -[MeXSiO] 2 -[Me 2 SiO] 30 -[MeSiO 3/2 ] 2 It is noted that Me is methyl, Ph is phenyl, and X is a group as defined by formula (2). Preferably the organopolysiloxanes are oily at room temperature. Their viscosity is not critical although it is preferably in the range of about 10 to about 1,000,000 centipoise at 25°C, more preferably about 50 to about 10,000 centipoise at 25°C. In addition to the main component in the form of an organopolysiloxane as defined above, the curable silicone composition of the invention generally contains a curing agent. Acids, acid generators, bases and base generators are preferably used as the curing agent. Examples of the acid used herein include Brønsted acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, para-toluenesulfonic acid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid; and Lewis acids such as aluminum trichloride, boron trifluoride, titanium tetrachloride, iron (III) chloride, zinc chloride, tin chloride, trialkylaluminum, zinc octanoate, tin octanoate, dibutyltin dilaurate, aluminum (III) acetylacetonate, and dibutyltin dimethoxide. It is also possible to use thermally latent acid catalysts having a Brønsted acid combined with a Lewis acid (see JP-A 320529/1993). Use of an acid generator as the curing agent is effective for extending the pot life of the composition. Preferred acid generators are onium salt acid generators and onium salt photo-initiators. Exemplary onium salt photo-initiators include diaryl iodonium salts, triaryl sulfonium salts, monoaryl dialkyl sulfonium salts, triaryl selenonium salts, tetraaryl phosphonium salts, and aryl diazonium salts as represented by (R 4 ) 2 I + X - , (R 4 ) 3 S + X - , (R 4 ) 1 (R 5 ) 2 S + X - , (R 4 ) 3 Se + X - , (R 4 ) 4 P + X - , and (R 4 )N 2 + X - wherein R 4 is an aryl group, R 5 is an alkyl group, and X - is an anion such as CF 3 SO 3 - , SbF 6 - , AsF 6 - , PF 6 - , BF 4 - , HSO 4 - , ClO 4 - , and Cl - . Also useful are triazine photo-acid generators, sulfonate photo-acid generators, and disulfone photo-acid generators. Examples of the base include metal hydroxides such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide, alkyl metals such as butyllithium, metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide and potassium methoxide, metal silanolates such as sodium silanolate, potasium silanolalate and lithium silanolate, primary, secondary and tertiary amines such as triethylamine, ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, and phosphines such as triphenyl phosphine, tri(4-methoxyphenyl) phosphine, and tributyl phosphine. The base generators include those having a group C 6 H 5 CH 2 OCONH-. From the standpoint of pot life, it is preferred to use onium salt photo-initiators and Lewis acids as the curing agent. The amount of the curing agent added is preferably about 0.01 to about 30 parts, especially about 0.1 to about 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the main component. On this basis, less than 0.01 part of the curing agent usually gives little curing effect whereas more than 30 parts of the curing agent may adversely affect the physical properties of cured coatings or products. The composition is prepared by uniformly mixing predetermined amounts of the main component and the curing agent. If desired, other curable resins and various additives may be added as optional components. Examples of the other curable resins include epoxy resins capable of cationic polymerization, organopolysiloxanes having an epoxy group, organopolysiloxanes having a vinyl ether group, and acrylic resins capable of anionic polymerization. Exemplary additives include epoxy diluents, vinyl ether diluents, acrylic diluents, fillers, agents for enhancing adhesion to substrates, leveling agents, anti-static agents, defoaming agents, pigments, and dyes. The composition may be used by diluting with organic solvents. The composition may be used by admitting into a mold to form a rubbery sheet although it is typically applied to a substrate to form a cured coating thereon. Exemplary substrates include paper substrates such as glassine paper, kraft paper, and clay coated paper; laminated paper such as polyethylene laminated wood-free paper and polyethylene laminated kraft paper; plastic films and sheets formed of synthetic resins such as polyesters, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polycarbonates, and polyimides; metals such as aluminum and copper; and ceramics such as glass. In applying the inventive composition to such substrates, any desired one of conventional coating techniques such as roll coating, gravure coating, wire doctor coating, air knife coating and dipping may be used. The coating may have a thickness of about 0.1 µm to about 5 mm. After being applied to substrates as mentioned above, the curable silicone composition may be cured simply by exposing it to ultraviolet radiation if photo-acid generators are used as the curing agent or by heating if acids and bases are used as the curing agent. For UV curing, any of mercury arc lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, medium-pressure mercury lamps, low-pressure mercury lamps, and metal halide lamps may be used as a UV light source. When a high-pressure mercury lamp (80 W/cm) is used, for example, the coating may be cured by operating the lamp at a distance of 8 cm for about 0.01 second to 10 minutes. In the case of heat curing, the coating may be heated in a hot air circulation drying oven at a temperature of about 70 to about 200°C for about 1 to about 120 minutes. There has been described a curable silicone composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having a cyclotrisiloxane structure, which quickly cures by brief heating or ultraviolet exposure. The cured product has release property from adhesive substance which remains unchanged with the lapse of time and good mold release properties, and thus provides a releasable cured film which is lightly releasable. The composition can be widely used as backing agents of adhesive tape; release agents for rubber, plastics and ceramics; protective coating agents for metals and plastics; water and oil repellent agents for natural fibers, synthetic fibers and food packing; heat resistant, chemical resistant coatings; and paint bases as well as additives, printing plates, sealants, insulating materials, and electrically insulating coatings. The cyclotrisiloxane-structure-including organopolysiloxane is a characteristic feature of the present compositions, and is included in sufficient proportion to influence curing. It is typically a main component of the composition. It may constitute e.g. from at least 30wt%, perhaps from at least 50wt%, to the entirety, of resin components in the composition.

The cured coatings obtained in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Example 1 were measured for release force and residual bonding force by the following methods. The results are shown in Table 1. Release force An acrylic solvent type adhesive SK-801B (Soken Chemical K.K.) was applied to a surface of the cured coating of the silicone composition on the substrate and heated at 100°C for 3 minutes. A sheet of wood-free paper having a weight of 64 g/m 2 was laid on the tackified surface. The sample was cut into a strip of 50 mm wide and aged at room temperature (24°C) for 24 hours or at 70°C for 48 hours. Using a tensile tester, the overlying paper sheet was peeled from the sample strip at an angle of 180° at a rate of 0.3 m/min. The force (g/50 mm) required for peeling was measured. Residual adhesion rate A polyester adhesive tape 31B (Nitto Denko Corporation) was laid on a surface of the cured coating of the silicone composition on the substrate. With a load of 20 g/cm 2 applied, the sample was aged at 70°C for 20 hours. The aged tape was peeled from the silicone coated substrate and laid on a polyester film. Using a tensile tester, the tape was peeled from the polyester film at an angle of 180° at a rate of 0.3 m/min. The force (g/25 mm) required for peeling was measured. As a control, a polyester adhesive tape which had not been attached to the cured silicone coating was laid on a polyester film and the force (g/25 mm) required for peeling the tape from the polyester film was measured. The peeling force was expressed in percentage relative to the peeling force of the control.
