ラクトン重合体は、平均分子量や官能基数の違いにより多くの分野で広く用いられている。例えば、グリコール類等の活性水素を持つ化合物を開始剤とした平均分子量約200〜6000のラクトン重合体は、ポリウレタン樹脂、塗料等の原料として非常に有用であり、ラジカル重合性二重結合を有するラクトン重合体は自動車、建材、家電製品等の分野でアクリル系コーティング材料として利用されている。また、平均分子量が10000以上のラクトン重合体は実用的な機械物性を有し、プラスチックの改質剤、フィルム、ホットメルト接着剤、医療器具材料等に用いられている。
【0003】
かかるラクトン重合体は、通常、グリコール類等の活性水素を有する化合物を開始剤とし、触媒の存在下にラクトン単量体を開環付加重合して製造される。また、反応に使用される触媒として数多くの化合物が知られているが、テトラブチルチタネート(以下、「TBT」と記す。)等のチタン系化合物、アルミニュウム系化合物(特公昭43−2473号公報)、アルカリ金属系化合物(特公昭40−26557号公報、U.S.Patent3,021,314)、アルカリ土類金属化合物(U.S.Patent3,021,310、U.S.Patent3,021,311)、スズ系化合物(特公昭41−19559号公報、特公昭64−1491号公報)及び無機酸(特公昭35−497号公報)等が代表的な化合物である。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし得られたラクトン重合体を用いて熱可塑性ポリウレタンを製造する場合、成形加工した製品を長期保存すると表面に粉吹き現象が発生し、製品不良の原因となる場合がある。また、ラクトン重合体を用いて塗料を製造した場合にも、塗膜形成後、長時間経過すると塗膜面に粉吹き現象が発生し、光沢が低下する場合がある。
【0005】
また、ラクトン重合体と有機ジイソシアネートとを反応させてイソシアネート末端のウレタンプレポリマーを合成する場合、反応終了後に未反応の有機ジイソシアネートを減圧除去し、または脱泡する為に減圧処理を行う。この減圧処理工程で使用する設備のコンデンサー部に結晶化物が蓄積すると、定期的にプロセスを溶剤洗浄しなければならず、生産性が低下する。この結晶化物の原因となるのは、ラクトン重合体の合成時に副生するラクトンダイマーである。従って、ラクトンダイマーを低減させる技術が望まれる。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は上記問題を解決すべく鋭意研究の結果、特定の触媒を使用し特定の操作を行ったところ、ラクトンダイマー含有量が0.1重量%以下のラクトン重合体が得られることを見い出し、本発明を完成するに到った。
【0007】
すなわち本発明は、ラクトンモノマーをチタン系化合物を触媒として重合させ、次いで生成物を薄膜蒸留することを特徴とするラクトンダイマー含有量が0.1重量%以下であるラクトン重合体の製造方法を提供するものである。
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のラクトン重合体は、開始剤を用いてラクトン単量体を開環付加反応させた重合体であり、ラクトンダイマー含有量が0.1重量%以下であることを特徴とし、より好ましくはラクトンダイマー含量が0.05〜0.001重量%のラクトン重合体である。ラクトンダイマー含有量を0.1重量%以下とすることで、当該ラクトン重合体を用いて製造したポリウレタン樹脂およびこのポリウレタン樹脂を用いて製造した成形品の粉吹き現象を防止することができる。
【0009】
本発明のラクトン重合体は、ラクトンモノマーを開始剤および触媒の存在下に重合させて製造する。
【0010】
ラクトン重合体を製造するために使用できるラクトンモノマーとしては、δ−バレロラクトン、ε−カプロラクトン、メチル化ε−カプロラクトン、エナントラクトン(7−ヒドロキシヘプタン酸ラクトン)等が挙げられる。これらのラクトンモノマーは、1種又は2種類以上の混合物として用いることができる。これらの内、本発明では、δ−バレロラクトン、ε−カプロラクトン等が好ましく用いられる。
【0011】
開始剤は、活性水素を有する化合物、即ち水酸基、アミノ基、チオール基、カルボキシル基等を分子内に有する化合物であり、水やグリコール類等の多価アルコール、ポリアミン化合物、分子内に水酸基を含有するポリマー等、更にラジカル重合性二重結合等の官能基を有するアルコール、アミン類等が挙げられる。
【0012】
具体的には水、エチレングリコール、分子内に水酸基を有するポリマーとして、ジエチレングリコール、1,4−ブタンジオール、1,6−ヘキサメチレングリコール、グリセリン、トリメチロールプロパン、ペンタエリスリトール、メトキシエタノール、モノアセチルエチレングリコール、2−ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、2−アミノエタノール、6−ヒドロキシヘキサン酸、アリルアルコール、4−ヒドロキシエチルビニールエーテル、p−ヒドロキシフェニルアルコール、m−ヒドロキシベンジルアルコール、水酸基を有するエポキシ樹脂、水酸基を有するポリブタジエン、2−ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレートを共重合又はグラフト化したポリマー等の水酸基を有する化合物、エチレンジアミン、ヘキサメチレンジアミン、ジエチレントリアミン、ヒドラジン、キシリレンジアミン、イソホロンジアミン等のアミノ基を有する化合物が例示できる。
開始剤の使用量は、ラクトンモノマー1モルに対し、開始剤0.01〜1.0モルであること、特には、0.02〜0.5モルであることが好ましい。その理由は、得られるポリエステルポリオールの分子量が200〜6000となり、一般的な利用に便利だからである。
【0013】
本発明で使用できる触媒としては、テトラエチルチタネート、テトラブチルチタネート、テトラプロピルチタネート等の有機チタン系化合物、オクチル酸スズ、ジブチルスズオキサイド、ジブチルスズジラウレート、n−ブチルスズヒドロキシオキサイド等の有機スズ化合物、塩化第一スズ、臭化第一スズ、ヨウ化第一スズ等のハロゲン化第一スズ等が挙げられる。これらの中でスズ系化合物、チタン系化合物であることが好ましい。スズ系化合物を使用すると、ラクトンダイマー含有量を0.1重量%以下とすることができるからである。また、チタン系化合物を触媒とする場合には、ラクトン重合体を合成した後に薄膜蒸留を行うことによりラクトンダイマー含有量を0.1重量%以下とすることができる点で好ましい。
触媒の使用量は、仕込み原料に対して0.1〜1000ppm、特には1〜100ppmであることが好ましい。触媒量が0.1ppm以下を下回る場合には反応速度が遅く、逆に1000ppmを超えると生じたラクトン重合体の色相、熱安定性が悪化するので好ましくない。
【0014】
本発明のラクトン重合体を製造するに際し、製造装置の形式には特に制限が無い。例えば、バッチ式、半連続式及び連続式の通常の撹拌機型反応器、ニーダー反応器が問題なく使用できる。
【0015】
反応は、窒素ガス、空気等の条件下で任意に反応を行うことが可能であり、より好ましくは窒素ガス等の不活性ガスの雰囲気中で反応することである。これにより変色を防止できるからである。
【0016】
本発明のラクトン重合体は、塊重合、溶液重合、懸濁重合等のいかなる重合方法も問題なく用いられる。また、溶液重合に用いられる溶剤としては、芳香族炭化水素類が好ましく、特には、不活性で比較的沸点が高いトルエン、キシレンが好ましい。また、溶剤は実質的には無水であることが好ましい。その理由は、残存する水により開始されるポリカプロラクトンが生じないようにするためである。
【0017】
本発明において触媒、ラクトンモノマー、開始剤等の添加方法、添加順序は特に制限を受けず、任意の順に反応を行うことが可能である。
【0018】
本発明におけるラクトンモノマーは、開始剤の存在下、一般的には80〜230℃、好ましくは90〜180℃の温度で反応させる。80℃を下回る場合は反応速度が遅く、230℃を上回る場合は酸化反応による着色が生じる等の品質に問題があるので好ましくはない。これによりラクトン重合体を得ることができる。
【0019】
チタン系化合物を触媒に使用し、ラクトンダイマー含有量が0.1重量%を上回った場合には、得られたラクトン重合体を薄膜蒸留しラクトンダイマーの含有量を0.1重量%以下とすることができる。
薄膜蒸留器は、一般に使用される蒸留器を使用することができる。薄膜蒸留の条件は、温度100〜200℃、圧力0.01〜10torrであることが好ましい。この範囲で、十分にラクトンダイマーの含有量を低下することができるからである。また、必要に応じて、薄膜蒸留を二度以上繰り返すことができる。
【0020】
本発明のラクトン重合体は、グリコール類、ポリアミン化合物、分子内に水酸基を含有するポリマー等を開始剤としてラクトン単量体を開環付加反応させた場合は、粘調液体、ワックス状固体、高分子量体等のオリゴマーやポリマーとなる。
本発明のラクトン重合体は、水酸基価10〜600mgKOH/g、酸価0.001〜0.50であることが好ましい。
【0021】
本発明のラクトン重合体を用いて、例えば、本発明のウレタン重合体の水酸基1モルに対し、イソシアネート化合物を−NCO基が0.8〜1.2モルとなるように反応させることにより、ポリウレタン樹脂を製造することができる。

【0022】
反応は、窒素ガス下で行うことが好ましく、温度40〜180℃であることが好ましい。この範囲で十分な反応速度を維持できるからである。これにより、分子末端にイソシアネート基を有するポリウレタン樹脂を得ることができる。次いで、これとジオール化合物やアクリルポリオール等を常法に従い重合させると、熱可塑性ポリエステル樹脂が得られる。
【0023】
本発明のポリウレタン樹脂は、塗料等に使用することができる。特にラジカル重合性二重結合を有するラクトン重合体からなるポリウレタン樹脂は、自動車、建材、家電製品等の分野でアクリル系コーティング材料として有用である。更に、平均分子量が10000以上のラクトン重合体からなるポリウレタン樹脂は、実用的な機械物性を有し、プラスチックの改質剤、フィルム、ホットメルト接着剤、医療器具材料等に用いることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lactone polymer having a lactone dimer content of 0.1% by weight or less, and more specifically, a lactone polymer having little powder blowing phenomenon when used as a raw material for paints, polyurethanes, etc. The present invention relates to a polyurethane resin using
[0002]
[Prior art]
Lactone polymers are widely used in many fields due to differences in average molecular weight and the number of functional groups. For example, a lactone polymer having an average molecular weight of about 200 to 6000 using a compound having active hydrogen such as glycols as an initiator is very useful as a raw material for polyurethane resins, paints, etc., and has a radical polymerizable double bond. Lactone polymers are used as acrylic coating materials in fields such as automobiles, building materials, and home appliances. Lactone polymers having an average molecular weight of 10,000 or more have practical mechanical properties and are used for plastic modifiers, films, hot melt adhesives, medical device materials, and the like.
[0003]
Such a lactone polymer is usually produced by ring-opening addition polymerization of a lactone monomer in the presence of a catalyst using a compound having active hydrogen such as glycols as an initiator. Many compounds are known as catalysts used in the reaction, but titanium compounds such as tetrabutyl titanate (hereinafter referred to as “TBT”), aluminum compounds (Japanese Patent Publication No. 43-2473). Alkali metal compounds (Japanese Patent Publication No. 40-26557, US Patent 3,021,314), alkaline earth metal compounds (US Patent 3,021,310, US Patent 3,021,311) ), Tin compounds (Japanese Patent Publication No. 41-19559, Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-1491), inorganic acids (Japanese Patent Publication No. 35-497), and the like are typical compounds.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when producing a thermoplastic polyurethane using the obtained lactone polymer, if the molded product is stored for a long period of time, a powder blowing phenomenon may occur on the surface, which may cause a product defect. Even when a coating material is produced using a lactone polymer, a powder blowing phenomenon may occur on the surface of the coating film after a long period of time after the coating film is formed, and the gloss may be lowered.
[0005]
When a lactone polymer and an organic diisocyanate are reacted to synthesize an isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymer, after the reaction is completed, the unreacted organic diisocyanate is removed under reduced pressure or a depressurization treatment is performed. If crystallized material accumulates in the condenser section of the equipment used in the decompression process, the process must be periodically cleaned with a solvent, and productivity is reduced. The cause of this crystallized product is a lactone dimer produced as a by-product during the synthesis of the lactone polymer. Therefore, a technique for reducing lactone dimer is desired.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that a lactone polymer having a lactone dimer content of 0.1% by weight or less can be obtained by performing a specific operation using a specific catalyst. The present invention has been completed.
[0007]
That is, the present invention provides a method for producing a lactone polymer having a lactone dimer content of 0.1% by weight or less, wherein a lactone monomer is polymerized using a titanium compound as a catalyst, and then the product is thin-film distilled. To do.
Below, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The lactone polymer of the present invention is a polymer obtained by subjecting a lactone monomer to a ring-opening addition reaction using an initiator, characterized in that the lactone dimer content is 0.1% by weight or less, more preferably A lactone polymer having a lactone dimer content of 0.05 to 0.001% by weight. By setting the lactone dimer content to 0.1% by weight or less, it is possible to prevent a powder blowing phenomenon of a polyurethane resin produced using the lactone polymer and a molded product produced using the polyurethane resin.
[0009]
The lactone polymer of the present invention is produced by polymerizing a lactone monomer in the presence of an initiator and a catalyst.
[0010]
Examples of the lactone monomer that can be used for producing the lactone polymer include δ-valerolactone, ε-caprolactone, methylated ε-caprolactone, and enanthlactone (7-hydroxyheptanoic acid lactone). These lactone monomers can be used as one kind or a mixture of two or more kinds. Among these, in the present invention, δ-valerolactone, ε-caprolactone and the like are preferably used.
[0011]
The initiator is a compound having active hydrogen, that is, a compound having a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a thiol group, a carboxyl group or the like in the molecule, a polyhydric alcohol such as water or glycols, a polyamine compound, and a hydroxyl group in the molecule. And alcohols having a functional group such as a radical polymerizable double bond, amines, and the like.
[0012]
Specifically, water, ethylene glycol, polymers having a hydroxyl group in the molecule, diethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexamethylene glycol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, methoxyethanol, monoacetylethylene Glycol, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-aminoethanol, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, allyl alcohol, 4-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether, p-hydroxyphenyl alcohol, m-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, epoxy resin having a hydroxyl group, Polybutadiene having a hydroxyl group, a compound having a hydroxyl group, such as a polymer copolymerized or grafted with 2-hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, ethylenediamine, hexamethylene Amine, diethylene triamine, hydrazine, xylylenediamine, compounds having an amino group such as isophorone diamine can be exemplified.
The amount of the initiator used is preferably 0.01 to 1.0 mol, particularly 0.02 to 0.5 mol, per 1 mol of the lactone monomer. The reason is that the obtained polyester polyol has a molecular weight of 200 to 6000, which is convenient for general use.
[0013]
Examples of the catalyst that can be used in the present invention include organic titanium compounds such as tetraethyl titanate, tetrabutyl titanate, and tetrapropyl titanate, organic tin compounds such as tin octylate, dibutyltin oxide, dibutyltin dilaurate, and n-butyltin hydroxyoxide, first chloride chloride Examples thereof include stannous halides such as tin, stannous bromide, and stannous iodide. Of these, tin compounds and titanium compounds are preferred. This is because when a tin-based compound is used, the lactone dimer content can be 0.1% by weight or less. Moreover, when using a titanium compound as a catalyst, it is preferable in that the lactone dimer content can be reduced to 0.1% by weight or less by performing thin film distillation after synthesizing the lactone polymer.
The amount of the catalyst used is preferably 0.1 to 1000 ppm, particularly 1 to 100 ppm, based on the charged raw materials. When the amount of the catalyst is less than 0.1 ppm, the reaction rate is slow. On the other hand, when it exceeds 1000 ppm, the hue and thermal stability of the produced lactone polymer are deteriorated.

For the lactone polymer of the present invention, any polymerization method such as bulk polymerization, solution polymerization and suspension polymerization can be used without any problem. Moreover, as a solvent used for solution polymerization, aromatic hydrocarbons are preferable, and in particular, toluene and xylene having an inert and relatively high boiling point are preferable. Moreover, it is preferable that a solvent is substantially anhydrous. The reason is to prevent polycaprolactone initiated by the remaining water.

The lactone monomer in the present invention is generally reacted at a temperature of 80 to 230 ° C., preferably 90 to 180 ° C. in the presence of an initiator. When the temperature is lower than 80 ° C., the reaction rate is slow. When the temperature is higher than 230 ° C., there is a problem in quality such as coloring due to an oxidation reaction. Thereby, a lactone polymer can be obtained.
[0019]
When a titanium-based compound is used as a catalyst and the lactone dimer content exceeds 0.1% by weight, the obtained lactone polymer is subjected to thin film distillation so that the lactone dimer content is 0.1% by weight or less. be able to.
As the thin film distiller , a commonly used distiller can be used. The conditions for thin film distillation are preferably a temperature of 100 to 200 ° C. and a pressure of 0.01 to 10 torr. This is because the content of the lactone dimer can be sufficiently reduced within this range. Moreover, thin film distillation can be repeated twice or more as needed.

Examples of isocyanate compounds that can be used include 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 4,4′-dibenzyl isocyanate, dialkyldiphenylmethane isocyanate, tetraalkyldiphenylmethane diisocyanate, 1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, Diisocyanate, butane-1,4-diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, tolidine diisocyanate, cyclohexane-1,4-diisocyanate, xylylene diene Isocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane-4,4'-di Isocyanate, 1,3-bis (isocyanatomethyl) cyclohexane, can be exemplified such as methyl-cyclohexane diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate Among these, tolylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate are preferred.
[0022]
The reaction is preferably performed under nitrogen gas, and the temperature is preferably 40 to 180 ° C. This is because a sufficient reaction rate can be maintained within this range. Thereby, the polyurethane resin which has an isocyanate group in a molecular terminal can be obtained. Next, when this is polymerized with a diol compound, acrylic polyol or the like according to a conventional method, a thermoplastic polyester resin is obtained.
[0023]
The polyurethane resin of the present invention can be used for paints and the like. In particular, polyurethane resins composed of lactone polymers having radically polymerizable double bonds are useful as acrylic coating materials in the fields of automobiles, building materials, home appliances, and the like. Furthermore, polyurethane resins composed of lactone polymers having an average molecular weight of 10,000 or more have practical mechanical properties and can be used for plastic modifiers, films, hot melt adhesives, medical device materials, and the like.
