Description

本発明は、樹脂分散液及び樹脂分散液の製造方法に関する。
The present invention relates to a resin dispersion and a method for producing the resin dispersion .

従来、ジエチレングリコールジメタクリレートなどの多官能性(メタ)アクリル酸エステルとラウリルアクリレートのような重合性モノマーを脂肪族炭化水素、トルエン、ベンゼン、キシレン等の芳香族炭化水素溶媒中で、重合開始剤の存在下で重合反応させて共重合体樹脂分散液を製造する方法が知られている(特許文献1、特許文献2)。
しかし、この製造方法により得られる樹脂分散液は、芳香族炭化水素溶媒を使用するので、含まれている樹脂の架橋が進み易く、又重合反応を進める間に生成する樹脂がゲル化したり、保存中に、樹脂が固化する等の問題があった。また、この非水系樹脂を塗料や接着剤用として用いる場合に、保存中に固化するので接着力の低下をきたす。そこでこれらの問題点を解決するために、多価グリコールジアクリレート等の多官能性アクリル酸エステル又はメタクリル酸エステルの使用量を2重量%以下に抑える必要があった。確かに、2重量%以下にすることにより従来の問題が解消されるが、その結果、樹脂は芳香族溶媒に可溶のものとなり、塗料として用いた場合は、顔料への樹脂の吸着量が少なく、接着力が不足する結果となる。特に、電着塗料として用いる場合は顔料が樹脂に吸着されないので、塗料として望ましくないものであった。
更に、この方法で使用される芳香族溶媒は毒性及び引火性が強く、環境衛生上問題があるばかりでなく、火災の危険も多いという問題も有することが指摘されていた。
本発明者らは以上のような問題点を解決すべく、非水系樹脂からなる分散液の製造方法を開発した。この方法は脂肪族炭化水素又はハロゲン化脂肪族炭化水素を主成分とする溶媒中で、重合開始剤の存在下に、前述のような多官能性のアクリル酸エステル又はメタクリル酸エステルと、不飽和カルボン酸のような極性モノマー及びラウリルアクリレートのような重合前も重合後も前記溶媒と溶媒和し得るモノマーとを重合反応させる方法である(特許文献3)。しかし、この方法では架橋剤として用いる多官能性のアクリル酸エステル又はメタクリル酸エステルの架橋性が高く、即ち、架橋速度が速くなるために、(1)重合時の反応制御が困難となり、製品である分散樹脂にバラツキが生じ易い、(2)重合が均一に行なわれないので、粒度分布の広い製品しか得られず、又(3)製品の分散安定性がよくない等の欠点がある他に、多官能性アクリル酸又はメタクリル酸モノマーは極性基を持っていないので、(4)着色剤を分散する能力が低く、たとえ極性基を有するモノマーを併用したとても共重合性が悪く、均一な重合ができないという問題点がある。
Conventionally, a polyfunctional (meth) acrylic acid ester such as diethylene glycol dimethacrylate and a polymerizable monomer such as lauryl acrylate in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as aliphatic hydrocarbon, toluene, benzene, xylene, etc. A method of producing a copolymer resin dispersion by carrying out a polymerization reaction in the presence is known (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2).
However, since the resin dispersion obtained by this production method uses an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, the crosslinking of the contained resin is easy to proceed, and the resin produced during the polymerization reaction is gelled or stored. There were problems such as solidification of the resin. Further, when this non-aqueous resin is used for a paint or an adhesive, it is solidified during storage, resulting in a decrease in adhesive strength. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it was necessary to suppress the amount of polyfunctional acrylic acid ester or methacrylic acid ester such as polyvalent glycol diacrylate to 2% by weight or less. Certainly, the conventional problems are solved by setting it to 2% by weight or less, but as a result, the resin becomes soluble in an aromatic solvent, and when used as a paint, the amount of adsorption of the resin to the pigment is small. As a result, the adhesive strength is insufficient. In particular, when used as an electrodeposition paint, the pigment is not adsorbed by the resin, which is undesirable as a paint.
Furthermore, it has been pointed out that the aromatic solvent used in this method is not only toxic and flammable, but also has a problem of not only environmental hygiene but also a high risk of fire.
In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have developed a method for producing a dispersion comprising a non-aqueous resin. In this method, a polyfunctional acrylic acid ester or methacrylic acid ester as described above is unsaturated with an unsaturated hydrocarbon or a halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon in the presence of a polymerization initiator in the presence of a polymerization initiator. In this method, a polar monomer such as carboxylic acid and a monomer such as lauryl acrylate, which can be solvated with the solvent, are polymerized before and after polymerization (Patent Document 3). However, in this method, the polyfunctional acrylic acid ester or methacrylic acid ester used as a cross-linking agent has high cross-linkability, that is, the cross-linking speed is high, so that (1) it is difficult to control the reaction at the time of polymerization. In addition to the disadvantages that certain dispersion resins are likely to vary, (2) because the polymerization is not performed uniformly, only products with a wide particle size distribution can be obtained, and (3) the dispersion stability of the products is poor. Since polyfunctional acrylic acid or methacrylic acid monomers do not have polar groups, (4) low ability to disperse colorants, even if monomers with polar groups are used together, the copolymerization is very poor and uniform polymerization There is a problem that can not be.

When the liquid toner of Example 7 was used for inkjet ink, it had an image density of 1.44, an ejection property of 25 μm dots, and a light resistance of 1 year or longer.
On the other hand, the results of the conventional ink-jet ink (Seiko Epson Co., Ltd. Machjet ink) were 1.22 in image density, 80 µm dots in ejection performance, and 1 month or less in light resistance.

実施例11
実施例7を同様に印刷インキに用いたところ、印刷物の定着性、光沢、画像濃度の高いものが得られた。
Example 11
When Example 7 was similarly used as a printing ink, a printed matter having high fixability, gloss and image density was obtained.
