Description
本発明は、ゴム製品用感温顕色表示組成物、表示機能付きゴム製品およびその製造方法に関する。更に詳細には、簡素な組成にもかかわらずゴム製品の表面に加熱によって文字などの各種情報を表示可能な感温顕色表示層を一体的に形成可能なゴム製品用感温顕色表示組成物、該組成物を用いて作製した表示機能付きゴム製品およびその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a temperature-sensitive color display composition for rubber products, a rubber product with a display function, and a method for producing the same. More specifically, a temperature-sensitive color display composition for rubber products that can integrally form a temperature-sensitive color display layer capable of displaying various information such as letters on the surface of a rubber product by heating despite the simple composition. The present invention relates to a rubber product with a display function produced using the composition, and a method for producing the same.
従来、ゴム製品の製造会社名、製造年月日、製造ロットなどの製品情報は、ゴム製品の目立たない狭い領域に記録しているのが、通常である。それは、製品の外観性を損なわないためであり、記録の仕方としては、例えば、ゴム製品の成型金型の内側に製品情報を刻印したプレートを取り付けて成型することにより、ゴム製品の限られた領域に製品情報をレリーフ状に記録している。したがって、記録できる情報量が限定され、要望される情報全てを記録できない。例えば、空気入りタイヤでは、上記のような製品情報がタイヤサイド部にレリーフ状に記録されている。しかし、タイヤサイド部には、スペース的に、これらの製品情報を全て記載する余裕がない。また、タイヤのサイド面全面を使用すれば、記載可能だとしても、頻繁に金型に刻印プレートを取り付け直して成形することは、生産効率を著しく阻害するために、不可能である。 Conventionally, product information such as the manufacturer name, date of manufacture, and production lot of a rubber product is usually recorded in a conspicuous narrow area of the rubber product. This is because it does not impair the appearance of the product, and as a recording method, for example, by attaching a plate engraved with product information on the inside of the molding die of the rubber product, the rubber product is limited. Product information is recorded in relief in the area. Therefore, the amount of information that can be recorded is limited, and all desired information cannot be recorded. For example, in a pneumatic tire, the product information as described above is recorded in a relief shape on the tire side portion. However, the tire side portion cannot afford to describe all of these product information in terms of space. Further, if the entire side surface of the tire is used, even if it can be described, it is impossible to frequently reattach the stamping plate to the mold so as to significantly hinder the production efficiency.
より多くの情報を、外観性を損なうことなく、ゴム製品に記録するためには、一つには印刷技術が利用可能なことが挙げられ、また、ゴム製品の表面に記録した製品情報が、ゴム製品の外観性を損なわせないためには、その情報を確認したい時にのみ、顕現するようにできれば良い。このような目的を実現しようと考えた場合、温度の変化により発色、消色を生じる感温変色性組成物を使用して情報をゴム製品に印刷すれば、加熱によって情報を可視状態にし、通常の使用状態では、情報を顕示せず、ゴム製品の外観性を損なわないようにすることが可能と思われる。すなわち、ゴム製品の表面に感温変色性ゴム塗料を用いて情報を記録し、その硬化塗膜を必要に応じて加熱すれば、情報を確認可能となると期待される。 In order to record more information on the rubber product without impairing the appearance, one thing is that printing technology can be used, and the product information recorded on the surface of the rubber product is In order not to impair the appearance of the rubber product, it is only necessary to make it appear only when it is desired to confirm the information. If you intend to achieve this purpose, if you print information on a rubber product using a thermochromic composition that develops or loses color due to changes in temperature, the information becomes visible by heating, In the state of use, it seems that information cannot be revealed and the appearance of the rubber product is not impaired. That is, it is expected that information can be confirmed by recording information on the surface of the rubber product using a temperature-sensitive color-changing rubber paint and heating the cured coating film as necessary.
前記感温変色性ゴム塗料としては、ゴム成分と、ゴム用架橋剤と、溶剤とを含んでなるゴム塗料に、公知の感温変色性組成物を内包したマイクロカプセルを混合分散した構成が考えられる。かかる構成を示唆した従来技術として、可逆熱変色性液状組成物が開示されている(特許文献1)。 The temperature-sensitive color-changing rubber paint may have a structure in which microcapsules containing a known temperature-sensitive color-changing composition are mixed and dispersed in a rubber paint containing a rubber component, a rubber crosslinking agent, and a solvent. It is done. As a prior art suggesting such a configuration, a reversible thermochromic liquid composition has been disclosed (Patent Document 1).
特許文献1には、可逆熱変色性組成物を内包した感温変色カプセルと、樹脂を含むビヒクルとからなる可逆熱変色性液状組成物が開示されている。この特許文献1では、前記樹脂として、一般的な合成樹脂に加えて、ブチルゴム、環化ゴム、塩素化ゴム、合成ラテックス、液状ゴム、天然ゴムというゴム成分も使用可能であるとしているが、ゴム塗料としての具体的な組成は全く開示されていないし、ましてや、ゴム製品に感温変色性層を一体的に形成するに適したゴム塗料については全く開示されていない。 Patent Document 1 discloses a reversible thermochromic liquid composition comprising a thermochromic capsule containing a reversible thermochromic composition and a vehicle containing a resin. In this Patent Document 1, in addition to general synthetic resins, rubber components such as butyl rubber, cyclized rubber, chlorinated rubber, synthetic latex, liquid rubber, and natural rubber can be used as the resin. No specific composition as a paint is disclosed at all, and furthermore, no rubber paint suitable for integrally forming a temperature-sensitive color-changing layer on a rubber product is disclosed.
本発明者らは、前記従来技術から誘導されるゴム塗料として、合成イソプレンゴムと、ゴム用架橋剤(硫黄)と、加硫促進剤と、溶剤(ゴム揮発油+トルエン)とからなる組成のゴム塗料に、公知の感温変色性組成物を内包した感温変色マイクロカプセルを混合分散して、ゴム製品用感温顕色表示組成物を試作した。この組成物を市販の空気タイヤのサイドウォール部に塗布して、加熱し、加硫、硬化させた。その結果、空気タイヤの表面に感温顕色表示層を形成することができたが、主に3つの解決すべき問題点があることが判明した。 As a rubber coating derived from the above-mentioned prior art, the present inventors have a composition comprising a synthetic isoprene rubber, a rubber crosslinking agent (sulfur), a vulcanization accelerator, and a solvent (rubber volatile oil + toluene). A temperature-sensitive color changing microcapsule containing a known temperature-sensitive color-changing composition was mixed and dispersed in a rubber paint, and a temperature-sensitive color-developing display composition for rubber products was made as a trial product. This composition was applied to a sidewall portion of a commercially available pneumatic tire, heated, vulcanized and cured. As a result, the temperature-sensitive color display layer could be formed on the surface of the pneumatic tire, but it was found that there are mainly three problems to be solved.
第1の問題点は、ゴム製品の表面に塗布したゴム塗料を加熱して、加硫硬化させる過程で、塗膜に気泡状の膨れが発生しやすく、加熱条件の制御が難しいことである。また、第2の問題点は、空気タイヤ(ゴム製品)の表面への感温顕色表示層の密着性が充分でなく、経時的に一部剥離することがあることである。さらに、第3の問題点として、感温顕色表示層が形成されている面と、他の面との質感が異なり、感温顕色表示層が熱によって発色していないにもかかわらず、幾分浮いて見え、外観性が損なわれることである。 The first problem is that in the process of heating and vulcanizing and curing the rubber paint applied to the surface of the rubber product, bubble-like swelling is likely to occur in the coating film, and it is difficult to control the heating conditions. The second problem is that the adhesion of the temperature-sensitive color display layer to the surface of the pneumatic tire (rubber product) is not sufficient, and part of it may peel off over time. Furthermore, as a third problem, the surface on which the temperature-sensitive color display layer is formed and the other surface have different textures, and the temperature-sensitive color display layer is not colored by heat, It looks somewhat floating and the appearance is impaired.
したがって、本発明の課題は、上記問題点を解消して、空気タイヤなどのゴム製品の表面の外観性を損なわず、感温顕色表示層を一体的に形成することのできる技術を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems and provide a technique capable of integrally forming a temperature-sensitive color display layer without impairing the appearance of the surface of a rubber product such as a pneumatic tire. There is.
本発明者は、前記課題を解決するために、鋭意、実験、検討を重ねたところ、以下のような知見を得るに至った。
(1) 感熱変色性ゴム塗料を既製のゴム製品の表面に付着させて加硫硬化させるのではなく、感温変色性ゴム塗料を加硫前のゴム製品(未加硫ゴム製品=グリーンゴム成形体)に付着させて該グリーンゴム成形体(以下、グリーンと略記する)を成形金型内で加熱加硫を行い、グリーンの硬化と同時に塗料の加硫硬化を行う。これにより、ゴム製品の表面に形成された感温顕色表示層が膨れ等の欠陥を生じることなくゴム製品に一体化され、密着性は十全なものとなる。
(2) ゴム塗料の配合成分は、グリーンを構成する配合成分と基本的に共通のものを使用し、加硫硬化に必要なゴム用架橋剤は塗料自体に含有させない。かかる組成のゴム塗料をグリーンに付着させると、グリーンに含有されている架橋剤がゴム塗料中に移行するので、グリーンの加熱によって、グリーンとほぼ同一組成条件でゴム塗料を同時に架橋、硬化させることができる。その結果、ゴム製品の表面に形成された感温顕色表示層と他の部分とは外観的に見分けがつかず、感温顕色表示層を設けることによって外観性を損ねることがない。
As a result of diligent efforts, experiments, and examinations, the present inventor has obtained the following knowledge.
(1) A thermosensitive color-changing rubber paint is not attached to the surface of an existing rubber product and cured by vulcanization, but a temperature-sensitive color-changing rubber paint is applied to a rubber product before vulcanization (unvulcanized rubber product = green rubber molding). The green rubber molded body (hereinafter abbreviated as green) is heated and vulcanized in a molding die, and the paint is vulcanized and cured simultaneously with the curing of the green. As a result, the temperature-sensitive color display layer formed on the surface of the rubber product is integrated with the rubber product without causing defects such as swelling, and the adhesiveness becomes satisfactory.
(2) The compounding component of the rubber paint is basically the same as the compounding component constituting the green, and the rubber crosslinking agent necessary for vulcanization and curing is not contained in the paint itself. When a rubber paint having such a composition is attached to green, the crosslinking agent contained in the green migrates into the rubber paint, so that the rubber paint can be simultaneously crosslinked and cured under substantially the same composition conditions as green by heating the green. Can do. As a result, the temperature-sensitive color display layer formed on the surface of the rubber product is indistinguishable from the other parts, and the appearance is not impaired by providing the temperature-sensitive color display layer.

If it is not encapsulated in the microcapsule, the discoloration performance may be hindered due to elution of components out of the system or the entry of a discoloration inhibitor into the system, which is not preferable. Any known encapsulation method can be used as a method of encapsulating the thermochromic composition in a microcapsule to form a thermochromic microcapsule. For example, there are a coacervation method, an in situ polymerization method, an interfacial polymerization method, a liquid curing method, a spray drying method, and the like, and these methods may be used in combination of two or more.
本発明で用いる感温変色カプセルは、熱硬化性樹脂、例えばポリエステル樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂、メラミン樹脂、ベンゾグアナミン樹脂、エポキシ樹脂などを壁膜物質として、上述の界面重合法、インサイチュ(in situ)重合法などの公知のマイクロカプセル化の方法によって感温変色性組成物を共存封入し内包体にしたものである。この内包体を、親水性高分子、例えば、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリアクリル酸塩、ゼラチン、メチルセルロース、アルギン酸などを懸濁させた水中に浸漬し、その表面をさらに被覆しても良い。この被覆処理によりマイクロカプセルの耐久性を向上させることができる。 The temperature-sensitive discoloration capsule used in the present invention is the above-described interfacial polymerization method or in situ polymerization method using a thermosetting resin such as polyester resin, polyurethane resin, melamine resin, benzoguanamine resin, epoxy resin, etc. A thermosensitive color-changing composition is encapsulated and encapsulated by a known microencapsulation method. The inclusion body may be immersed in water in which a hydrophilic polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylate, gelatin, methylcellulose, alginic acid or the like is suspended, and the surface thereof may be further coated. This coating treatment can improve the durability of the microcapsules.
前記構成の感温変色性組成物は、前記酸性物質の種類を選択することにより顕色温度を設定することができる。 The temperature-sensitive color-changing composition having the above-described configuration can set the color development temperature by selecting the type of the acidic substance.

Basically, the same additives as those used in the target rubber product can be blended.
前記構成の感温顕色表示組成物を用いてゴム製品の表面に感温顕色表示層を形成するには、まず、前記感温顕色表示組成物を、未加硫ゴム製品の表面に付着させる。この段階では、未加硫ゴム製品と感温顕色表示組成物の塗膜との間で架橋剤の濃度勾配が生じており、加硫中に架橋剤の塗膜への移行が発生する。そこで、感温顕色表示組成物が付着された未加硫ゴム製品を成形金型内で加熱すると、前記未加硫ゴム製品が加硫されるとともに該加硫ゴム製品の表面に加硫状態で一体的に積層された感温顕色表示層が形成される。この一連の工程によって、本発明の表示機能付きゴム製品が製造される。 In order to form a temperature-sensitive color display layer on the surface of a rubber product using the temperature-sensitive color display composition having the above structure, first, the temperature-sensitive color display composition is applied to the surface of an unvulcanized rubber product. Adhere. At this stage, a concentration gradient of the crosslinking agent is generated between the unvulcanized rubber product and the coating film of the thermosensitive color display composition, and the transition of the crosslinking agent to the coating film occurs during vulcanization. Therefore, when the unvulcanized rubber product to which the thermosensitive color display composition is adhered is heated in a molding die, the unvulcanized rubber product is vulcanized and vulcanized on the surface of the vulcanized rubber product. Thus, a temperature-sensitive color display layer that is integrally laminated is formed. Through this series of steps, the rubber product with a display function of the present invention is manufactured.
前記感温顕色表示組成物の付着は、刷毛による印字や描画、公知の印刷法、公知の液体噴射印字装置を用いた印刷法などの従来公知の印刷方法を用いて行うことができる。数字、文字、マークなどの情報をより多くゴム製品の表面に付着させるためには、液体噴射印字装置を用いることが好ましい。 The temperature sensitive color display composition can be attached using a conventionally known printing method such as printing or drawing with a brush, a known printing method, or a printing method using a known liquid jet printing apparatus. In order to attach more information such as numbers, letters, marks, etc. to the surface of the rubber product, it is preferable to use a liquid jet printing apparatus.
ゴム製品の表面に形成する感温変色表示層の顕色温度としては、対象とするゴム製品の通常使用環境下において想定される温度範囲を超えた温度に設定することが大切である。かかる温度設定によって、通常の使用環境下では、感温変色表示層は外観的にゴム製品と一体となって、感温表示層が形成されていることが判別されず、ゴム製品の外観性を損なうことがない。 It is important to set the color development temperature of the temperature-sensitive discoloration display layer formed on the surface of the rubber product to a temperature that exceeds the temperature range assumed in the normal use environment of the target rubber product. With this temperature setting, under normal operating conditions, the temperature-sensitive discoloration display layer is visually integrated with the rubber product, and it is not determined that the temperature-sensitive display layer is formed. There is no loss.
前記顕色温度をゴム製品の成形時に必要とされる各種工程の制御温度に設定することによって、本来の目的である加熱による製品情報確認の機能ばかりでなく、ゴム製品の製造完了までの各種工程における制御温度が適性に行われているかのチェックを行う機能を併用させることができる。 By setting the developing temperature to the control temperature of various processes required when molding rubber products, not only the function of confirming product information by heating, which is the original purpose, but also various processes up to the completion of the manufacture of rubber products A function for checking whether the control temperature is appropriately performed can be used in combination.
例えば、空気入りタイヤでは、グリーンタイヤを金型内で加熱して加硫させた後、金型から出して放冷するが、冷却に伴ってカーカスコードが収縮し、それにより成形したタイヤが変形しないように、タイヤ内に常温気体を加圧注入した状態で、コードのガラス転移点以下まで冷却し、収縮が起こらなくなるまで、加硫したタイヤを放冷する。この加硫後放冷処理工程は、温度測定が煩雑であるので、経験的に設定した放冷時間によって管理している。この放冷時間は、不良品を出さないために、実質的に過剰に設定されている。この必要放冷時間を正確に制御できれば、製造工程の迅速化に寄与することができる。 For example, in a pneumatic tire, a green tire is heated and vulcanized in a mold, then it is removed from the mold and allowed to cool, but the carcass cord contracts as it cools, which deforms the molded tire. In order to prevent this, the normal temperature gas is injected into the tire under pressure, the cord is cooled to below the glass transition point, and the vulcanized tire is allowed to cool until shrinkage does not occur. Since the temperature measurement is complicated in this post-vulcanization cooling treatment process, it is managed by the cooling time set empirically. This cooling time is set substantially excessively so as not to produce defective products. If this required cooling time can be accurately controlled, it can contribute to speeding up the manufacturing process.
前記加硫後放冷処理工程における放冷時間の設定は、前記加硫後放冷処理を実現するための二次的手段であり、正確には、タイヤ温度がカーカスコードのガラス転移温度より低くなればよい。カーカスコードは、主に、ナイロンコード、ポリエステルコードなどの有機繊維コードで構成されている。ナイロンコードのガラス転移温度は約50℃、ポリエステルコードのガラス転移温度が約70℃であるので、加硫後のタイヤ表面温度がそれぞれのガラス転移温度以下になれば、カーカスコードの収縮が矯正され、加硫後放冷処理を終了可能である。したがって、本発明の感温顕色表示組成物の顕色温度をカーカスコードの材質に合わせるように酸性物質の種類、組み合わせなどを調整すれば、タイヤ製造時の加硫後放冷処理工程の処理時間を正確に制御して、製造工程の短縮に寄与することが可能となる。 The setting of the cooling time in the post-vulcanization cooling treatment step is a secondary means for realizing the post-vulcanization cooling treatment, and precisely, the tire temperature is lower than the glass transition temperature of the carcass cord. It only has to be. The carcass cord is mainly composed of an organic fiber cord such as a nylon cord or a polyester cord. Since the glass transition temperature of nylon cord is about 50 ° C and the glass transition temperature of polyester cord is about 70 ° C, if the tire surface temperature after vulcanization falls below the respective glass transition temperature, the shrinkage of the carcass cord is corrected. Then, the cooling treatment after vulcanization can be finished. Accordingly, if the kind and combination of acidic substances are adjusted so that the color temperature of the thermosensitive color display composition of the present invention matches the material of the carcass cord, the post-vulcanization cooling treatment process at the time of tire manufacture It is possible to accurately control the time and contribute to shortening the manufacturing process.
