Description

本発明は、テトラフルオロエチレン共重合体に関する。   The present invention relates to a tetrafluoroethylene copolymer.

テトラフルオロエチレンとパーフルオロ(アルキルビニルエーテル)との共重合体(以下、PFAという。)は、耐熱性、耐薬品性に優れ、化学産業や半導体産業で用いられる配管、チューブ、バルブ、等の部材、ウエハーバスケット、薬液容器、ライニング材料等として広く用いられている。   A copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoro (alkyl vinyl ether) (hereinafter referred to as PFA) is excellent in heat resistance and chemical resistance, and is used for pipes, tubes, valves, etc. used in the chemical and semiconductor industries. Widely used as wafer baskets, chemical containers, lining materials, etc.

PFAとしては、テトラフルオロエチレン(以下、TFEという。)とパーフルオロ(プロピルビニルエーテル)(以下、PPVEという。)との共重合体(以下、TFE/PPVE共重合体という。)が市販されている。TFE/PPVE共重合体を成形した部材は、弾性率及び降伏強度が低く、変形しやすい。そのため、該部材を高応力や圧力下に使用する場合には、耐久性を向上するために、その肉厚を厚くする必要があり、部材設計の制約となる。また、高価なTFE/PPVE共重合体を多量に使用することは経済的に不利である。TFE/PPVE共重合体の部材は高応力下にクラックを発生しやすいことから、耐ストレスクラック性に優れたPFAの開発が要請されている。   As PFA, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as TFE) and perfluoro (propyl vinyl ether) (hereinafter referred to as PPVE) (hereinafter referred to as TFE / PPVE copolymer) is commercially available. . The member formed from the TFE / PPVE copolymer has a low elastic modulus and a low yield strength and is easily deformed. For this reason, when the member is used under high stress or pressure, it is necessary to increase its thickness in order to improve durability, which is a restriction on member design. Moreover, it is economically disadvantageous to use a large amount of expensive TFE / PPVE copolymer. Since TFE / PPVE copolymer members are prone to cracking under high stress, development of PFA excellent in stress cracking resistance is required.

特許文献1には、TFEとパーフルオロ(エチルビニルエーテル)との共重合体が記載されている。該共重合体は耐屈曲疲労性に優れるが、弾性率、降伏強度の特性についての記載はない。特許文献2には、TFEと特定のパーフルオロシクロアルキル基を有するパーフルオロ(アルキルビニルエーテル)との共重合体が記載されているが、該共重合体は溶融成形できない。   Patent Document 1 describes a copolymer of TFE and perfluoro (ethyl vinyl ether). The copolymer is excellent in bending fatigue resistance, but there is no description about the elastic modulus and yield strength characteristics. Patent Document 2 describes a copolymer of TFE and perfluoro (alkyl vinyl ether) having a specific perfluorocycloalkyl group, but the copolymer cannot be melt-molded.

本発明者らは、TFE、PPVE及び架橋可能な官能基を有するモノマーを共重合させて得たフッ素樹脂を酸素雰囲気下に高温で熱処理することにより、高弾性率のフッ素樹脂を得た(特許文献3を参照。)。しかし、この製造方法は、熱処理時間が長く、生産性が低い。また、架橋可能な官能基が残存する場合にはフッ素樹脂の耐薬品性が充分でない。   The present inventors obtained a fluororesin having a high elastic modulus by heat-treating a fluororesin obtained by copolymerizing TFE, PPVE and a monomer having a crosslinkable functional group at a high temperature in an oxygen atmosphere (patent) See reference 3.) However, this manufacturing method has a long heat treatment time and low productivity. Moreover, when the crosslinkable functional group remains, the chemical resistance of the fluororesin is not sufficient.
