Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体の水性分散液およびそれから得られる焼成皮膜に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体分散液には、分散安定性に優れる点から一般に界面活性剤としてポリオキシエチレンアルキルフェノールエーテルが常用されている。この溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体は溶融粘度が低いために、界面活性剤の分解残留物が塗膜中に閉じ込められやすく、塗膜が着色する傾向があり好ましいものでなかった。
【0003】
また、この界面活性剤中には原料であるオクチルフェノールなどのアルキルフェノール類が未反応分として数百ppm含有されているが、このアルキルフェノール類は環境庁の「外因性内分泌攪乱化学物質問題に関する研究班」より公表されている環境ホルモン化学物質群にリストアップされており、河川等に流出した場合、環境汚染が懸念される。
【0004】
さらに、この界面活性剤は構造中にベンゼン環を含んでいるため、重合体水性分散液を塗布して得られる塗膜は焼成しても焼成中に熱分解しにくく、得られる皮膜中に残存し着色させる傾向がある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明はアルキルフェノール類の含有量が少ない溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体水性分散液を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち本発明は、溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体の水性分散液であって、その水性分散液中のアルキルフェノールの含有量が0.1ppm以下であることを特徴とする溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体水性分散液に関する。
【0007】
前記溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体としては、テトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)とヘキサフルオロプロピレン(HFP)またはパーフルオロ(アルキルビニルエーテル)(PAVE)の少なくとも1種との共重合体であることが好ましい。
【0008】
また本発明の水性分散液は、前記含フッ素重合体を30〜65重量%、およびポリオキシアルキルエーテル系界面活性剤を該含フッ素重合体100重量部あたり3〜20重量部含有することが好ましい。
【0009】
本発明はまた、前記水性分散液を塗布して得られる塗膜を焼成して得られる焼成皮膜にも関する。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体水性分散液は、アルキルフェノール類を0.1ppm以下、望ましくは全く含まない点を特徴とする。換言すれば、本発明の水性分散液の各成分はもとより、それらの各成分の製造原料としてもアルキルフェノール類を使用しないものである。
【0011】
本発明の主要成分である溶融加工可能な含フッ素重合体としては、TFEとHFPとの共重合体(FEP)、TFEとPAVEとの共重合体などがあげられる。PAVEとしてはパーフルオロ(メチルビニルエーテル)(PMVE)、パーフルオロ(エチルビニルエーテル)、パーフルオロ(プロピルビニルエーテル)(PPVE)などがあげられ、これらの1種または2種以上を共重合してもよい。具体的には、TFE−PPVE共重合体(PFA)、TFE−PMVE−PPVE共重合体(MFA)などがあげられる。
【0012】
本発明の水性分散液は、たとえばつぎのようにして調製される。
【0013】
まず、重合開始剤、分散剤、重合安定剤が含まれる水性媒体中で前記単量体を乳化重合して平均粒径0.05〜0.5μmの含フッ素重合体粒子を15〜35重量%含む水性分散液を得る。重合開始剤としてはたとえば過硫酸アンモニウムなどが、分散剤としてはたとえば炭素数7〜10のパーフルオロカルボン酸などが、重合安定剤としてはたとえば高級パラフィンなどがあげられる。もちろん、これらの添加剤にはアルキルフェノール類が含まれていないものを使用する。
【0014】
この水性分散液はこのままでの使用できるが、含フッ素重合体の濃度を高め、かつ安定性を向上させるために、界面活性剤を添加して安定化させたのち、層分離濃縮法や膜分離濃縮法などにより重合体固形分濃度を40〜70重量%にまで濃縮し、ついで純水、アンモニア水とポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル系界面活性剤を加えて30〜65重量%に希釈することが好ましい。
【0015】
使用する界面活性剤としては、式:
R−O−A−H
(式中、Rは直鎖状または分岐鎖状の炭素数5〜18、好ましくは10〜16のアルキル基、Aはオキシエチレン基を5〜20個およびオキシプロピレン基を0〜6個有するポリオキシアルキレン鎖である)で示されるポリオキシアルキレンアルキルエーテル系界面活性剤が好ましい。アルキル基Rとしてはデシル、ラウリル、トリデシル、セチル、ステアリルなどが例示でき、直鎖状でも分岐鎖状でもよい。特に、界面活性能が優れている点、水溶性である点、入手が容易である点などから、Rが炭素数10〜16のアルキル基で、ポリオキシアルキレン鎖が7〜15個のオキシエチレン基と0〜3個のオキシプロピレン基とからなるポリオキシアルキレンアルキルエーテル系界面活性剤が好ましい。この界面活性剤の製造原料は天然または合成した高級アルコールを使用してもよいが、アルキルフェノール類を全く含まないことが最低条件である。
【0016】
ポリオキシアルキレンアルキルエーテル系界面活性剤の添加量は、含フッ素重合体100重量部あたり3〜20重量部であることが好ましい。
【0017】
なお、希釈のために、純水や水溶性溶剤、アルキルフェノールを含まない炭化水素系の各種界面活性剤などを適宜添加してもよいし、レベリング剤としてフッ素系界面活性剤やシリコン系界面活性剤を加えたり、増粘剤、レオロジーコントロール剤、各種水溶性電解質を含む塩類などで粘度調整してもよい。
【0018】
また必要に応じ、防腐剤、染料や顔料などの着色剤、強度向上などのためにグラファイトや各種フィラー、その他公知の他成分を添加してもよい。
【0019】
【実施例】
つぎに本発明を実施例および比較例をあげて説明するが、本発明はかかる実施例のみに限定されるものではない。

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of a fluoropolymer that can be melt-processed and a fired film obtained therefrom.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In conventional melt-processable fluoropolymer dispersions, polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ether is generally used as a surfactant from the viewpoint of excellent dispersion stability. Since this melt-processable fluoropolymer has a low melt viscosity, the decomposition residue of the surfactant is easily trapped in the coating film, and the coating film tends to be colored, which is not preferable.
[0003]
In addition, this surfactant contains several hundred ppm of unreacted alkylphenols such as octylphenol, which are raw materials. These alkylphenols are the “Research Group on Exogenous Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals” by the Environment Agency. It is listed in the environmental hormone chemical substance group that has been published more, and there is concern about environmental pollution when it flows into rivers.
[0004]
Furthermore, since this surfactant contains a benzene ring in the structure, the coating film obtained by applying the polymer aqueous dispersion is hardly thermally decomposed during firing even if fired, and remains in the resulting film. There is a tendency to color.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a melt-processable fluoropolymer aqueous dispersion having a low alkylphenol content.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the present invention is an aqueous dispersion of a melt-processable fluorine-containing polymer, wherein the content of alkylphenol in the aqueous dispersion is 0.1 ppm or less. It relates to a combined aqueous dispersion.
[0007]
The melt-processable fluoropolymer is preferably a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and at least one of hexafluoropropylene (HFP) or perfluoro (alkyl vinyl ether) (PAVE).
[0008]
The aqueous dispersion of the present invention preferably contains 30 to 65% by weight of the fluoropolymer and 3 to 20 parts by weight of a polyoxyalkyl ether surfactant per 100 parts by weight of the fluoropolymer. .
[0009]
The present invention also relates to a fired film obtained by firing a coating film obtained by applying the aqueous dispersion.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The melt-processable fluoropolymer aqueous dispersion of the present invention is characterized in that it contains no more than 0.1 ppm of alkylphenols, and preferably does not contain any. In other words, not only the components of the aqueous dispersion of the present invention but also the alkylphenols are not used as the raw materials for producing these components.
[0011]
Examples of the melt-processable fluorine-containing polymer that is the main component of the present invention include a copolymer of TFE and HFP (FEP), a copolymer of TFE and PAVE, and the like. Examples of PAVE include perfluoro (methyl vinyl ether) (PMVE), perfluoro (ethyl vinyl ether), perfluoro (propyl vinyl ether) (PPVE), and one or more of these may be copolymerized. Specific examples include TFE-PPVE copolymer (PFA) and TFE-PMVE-PPVE copolymer (MFA).
[0012]
The aqueous dispersion of the present invention is prepared, for example, as follows.
[0013]
First, the monomer is emulsion-polymerized in an aqueous medium containing a polymerization initiator, a dispersant, and a polymerization stabilizer, and 15 to 35% by weight of fluoropolymer particles having an average particle size of 0.05 to 0.5 μm are obtained. An aqueous dispersion containing is obtained. Examples of the polymerization initiator include ammonium persulfate, examples of the dispersing agent include perfluorocarboxylic acid having 7 to 10 carbon atoms, and examples of the polymerization stabilizer include higher paraffin. Of course, those additives that do not contain alkylphenols are used.
[0014]
This aqueous dispersion can be used as it is. However, in order to increase the concentration of the fluoropolymer and improve the stability, it is stabilized by adding a surfactant, followed by the layer separation concentration method or membrane separation. It is preferable to concentrate the polymer solids concentration to 40 to 70% by weight by a concentration method, etc., and then add pure water, ammonia water and a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactant to dilute to 30 to 65% by weight. .
[0015]
As the surfactant to be used, the formula:
R-O-A-H
(Wherein R is a linear or branched alkyl group having 5 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 10 to 16 carbon atoms, A is a polyoxygen group having 5 to 20 oxyethylene groups and 0 to 6 oxypropylene groups. A polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether surfactant represented by (which is an oxyalkylene chain) is preferred. Examples of the alkyl group R include decyl, lauryl, tridecyl, cetyl, stearyl and the like, and may be linear or branched. In particular, R is an alkyl group having 10 to 16 carbon atoms and 7 to 15 polyoxyalkylene chains because of its excellent surface activity, water solubility, and easy availability. A polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether surfactant comprising a group and 0 to 3 oxypropylene groups is preferred. A natural or synthetic higher alcohol may be used as a raw material for producing this surfactant, but the minimum condition is that it does not contain any alkylphenols.
[0016]
The addition amount of the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether surfactant is preferably 3 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the fluoropolymer.
[0017]
For dilution, pure water, water-soluble solvent, various hydrocarbon-based surfactants not containing alkylphenol may be added as appropriate, and fluorine-based surfactants and silicon-based surfactants may be used as leveling agents. The viscosity may be adjusted with a thickener, a rheology control agent, salts containing various water-soluble electrolytes, or the like.
[0018]
If necessary, preservatives, colorants such as dyes and pigments, graphite, various fillers, and other known other components may be added to improve strength.
[0019]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to such examples.
[0020]
