【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、水性エマルジョンの製造方法に関し、詳しくは、とくに可塑剤を使用しなくても優れた造膜性を有し、凍結融解安定性に優れ、さらにはエマルジョンの耐皮張り性に優れる水性エマルジョンの製造方法および該水性エマルジョンを用いた接着剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、ポリビニルアルコール(以下、PVAと略記することがある)はエチレン性不飽和単量体、特に酢酸ビニルに代表されるビニルエステル系単量体の乳化重合用保護コロイドとして広く用いられており、これを保護コロイドとして用いて乳化重合して得られるビニルエステル系水性エマルジョンは紙用、木工用およびプラスチック用などの各種接着剤、含浸紙用および不織製品用などの各種バインダー、混和剤、打継ぎ材、塗料、紙加工および繊維加工などの分野で広く用いられている。このように広く用いられている酢酸ビニル樹脂エマルジョンも種々の欠点を有している。すなわち、粘度の温度依存性が大きく、冬期などの低温時に粘度が著しく上昇して作業性が悪くなる。特に、低温における造膜性が悪く、フタル酸ジブチル(DBP)などの可塑剤の添加が必要である。従って得られた皮膜は可塑剤の添加により可撓性が付与される。特に冬期用として使用する場合にはDBPの添加量が多くなるが、DBPは環境ホルモンとして作用する化合物として取り上げられており、このような化合物を含まない酢酸ビニル樹脂エマルジョンの開発が急務となっている。このような状況下、エチレン−酢酸ビニル系樹脂エマルジョンをシードとした酢酸ビニル樹脂エマルジョンが提案(特許文献1)され、無可塑剤化を達成したが、保護コロイドにポリビニルアルコール(PVA)を用いているため、得られた皮膜は耐水性が十分に満足できるものではないのが現状である。また、分散剤としてオレフィン変性PVAを使用して、耐水性等を改善する手法が提案(特許文献2)されているが、氷点下といった厳しい保存環境において、その安定性は十分満足しうるものではなかった。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、このような事情のもとで、とくに可塑剤を使用しなくても優れた造膜性を有し、凍結融解安定性に優れ、さらにはエマルジョンの耐皮張り性に優れる水性エマルジョンの製造方法および該水性エマルジョンを用いた接着剤を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、前記の好ましい性質を有する水性エマルジョンおよびその製造方法を開発すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体系樹脂エマルジョンをシードとしてビニルエステル系単量体を乳化重合する際に、1,2−グリコール結合を1.9モル%以上有するビニルアルコール系重合体を分散剤として添加することを特徴とする水性エマルジョンの製造方法が上記目的を満足するものであることを見出した。また、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体系樹脂エマルジョンをシードとしてビニルエステル系単量体を乳化重合する際、さらに(メタ)アクリル酸エステル系単量体を系中に添加し、共重合することでさらに好ましい物性を有する水性エマルジョンが得られることを見出し、本発明を完成させるにいたった。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の水性エマルジョンの製造にシードとして用いるエチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体系樹脂エマルジョン(以後EVAエマルジョンと略記する場合がある)としては特に制限されないが、通常エチレン含有量が5〜35重量%、好ましくは10〜30重量%のものが用いられる。エチレン含有量が5重量%未満の場合、得られる水性エマルジョンの成膜性が悪化する恐れがある。エチレン含有量が35重量%を超えると得られる水性エマルジョンの皮膜強度が低下する懸念が生じる。
【0007】
シードとして用いるEVAエマルジョンの含有量は、シード重合されるビニルエステル系樹脂エマルジョン、シードとして用いるEVAエマルジョン及びPVAの合計(水性エマルジョン中の全固形分)に対して、固形分で15〜40重量%となることが好ましい。シードとして用いるEVAエマルジョン(固形分)が15重量%より少ないと、生成するビニルエステル系樹脂エマルジョンの成膜温度が0℃以上となるばかりでなく、粘度が高くなりすぎる。またシードとして用いるEVAエマルジョン(固形分)の割合が40重量%を越えると、得られる水性エマルジョンの耐皮張り性が低下して好ましくない。
【0008】
本発明において、分散剤として使用するビニルアルコール系重合体の1,2−グリコール結合の含有量は1.9モル%以上であることが必要であり、より好ましくは1.95モル%以上、最適には2モル%以上である。1,2−グリコール結合の含有量が1.9モル%未満の場合、得られる水性エマルジョンの凍結融解安定性、耐皮張り性が低下する懸念が生じる。また、1,2−グリコール結合の含有量は4モル%以下であることが好ましく、さらに好ましくは3.5モル%以下、最適には3.2モル%以下である。ここで、1,2−グリコール結合の含有量はNMRスペクトルの解析から求められる。
【0009】
上記の分子内に1,2−グリコール結合を1.9モル%以上有するビニルアルコール系重合体の製造方法としては特に制限はなく、公知の方法が使用可能である。一例としてビニレンカーボネートを上記の1,2−グリコール結合量になるようにビニルエステルと共重合する方法、ビニルエステルの重合温度を通常の条件より高い温度、例えば75〜200℃で、加圧下に重合する方法などが挙げられる。後者の方法においては、重合温度は95〜190℃であることが好ましく、100〜180℃であることが特に好ましい。また加圧条件としては、重合系が沸点以下になるように選択することが重要であり、好適には0.2MPa以上、さらに好適には0.3MPa以上である。また上限は5MPa以下が好適であり、さらに3MPa以下がより好適である。このようにして得られたビニルエステル重合体を通常の方法によりけん化することによりビニルアルコール系重合体が得られる。
【0010】
また、本発明においては、上記の1,2−グリコール結合を1.9モル%以上有するビニルアルコール系重合体は、さらにα−オレフィン単位を1〜20モル%含有することは好ましい形態のひとつである。α−オレフィン単位の含有量は、好ましくは1〜10モル%、さらに好ましくは1.5〜8モル%である。この重合体を使用することにより、水性エマルジョンの造膜性がより改善される。
α−オレフィン単位としてはエチレン、プロピレン、イソブチレン等が挙げられ、好適にはエチレンが用いられる。
【0011】
この重合体の製法としては、例えば、ビニレンカーボネートを上記の1,2−グリコール結合量になるようα−オレフィンとビニルエステル系単量体とを共重合する方法、α−オレフィンとビニルエステル系単量体を共重合する際、重合温度を通常の条件より高い温度、例えば70〜200℃で、加圧下に重合する方法などが挙げられる。後者の方法において、重合温度は、好適には75〜190℃、最適には75〜160℃である。重合はラジカル重合開始剤の存在下、塊状重合法、溶液重合法、懸濁重合法、乳化重合法などいずれの方法でも行うことができるが、溶液重合、とくにメタノールを溶媒とする溶液重合法が好適である。このようにして得られたビニルエステル重合体を通常の方法によりけん化することによりビニルアルコール系重合体が得られる。
また、ここで、ビニルエステルとしては、蟻酸ビニル、酢酸ビニル、プロピオン酸ビニル、ピバリン酸ビニルなどが挙げられるが、一般に酢酸ビニルが好ましく用いられる。
【0012】
また、上記の1,2−グリコール結合を1.9モル%以上有するビニルアルコール系重合体は、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で他の共重合可能なエチレン性不飽和単量体を共重合したものでも良い。このようなエチレン性不飽和単量体としては、例えば、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、フマル酸、(無水)マレイン酸、イタコン酸、アクリロニトリル、メタクリロニトリル、アクリルアミド、メタクリルアミド、トリメチル−(3−アクリルアミド−3−ジメチルプロピル)−アンモニウムクロリド、アクリルアミド−2−メチルプロパンスルホン酸およびそのナトリウム塩、エチルビニルエーテル、ブチルビニルエーテル、塩化ビニル、臭化ビニル、フッ化ビニル、塩化ビニリデン、フッ化ビニリデン、テトラフルオロエチレン、ビニルスルホン酸ナトリウム、アリルスルホン酸ナトリウム、N−ビニルピロリドン、 N−ビニルホルムアミド、 N−ビニルアセトアミド等のN−ビニルアミド類が挙げられる。また、チオール酢酸、メルカプトプロピオン酸などのチオール化合物の存在下で、酢酸ビニルなどのビニルエステル系単量体を重合し、またはビニルエステル系単量体とエチレンを共重合し、得られた(共)重合体をけん化することによって得られる末端にメルカプト基またはカルボキシル基を有する変性物も用いることができる。
【0013】
1,2−グリコール結合を1.9モル%以上有するビニルアルコール系重合体のけん化度は、特に制限されないが、通常60モル%以上のものが用いられ、より好ましくは、70モル%以上、さらに好ましくは75モル%以上である。けん化度が60モル%未満の場合には、ビニルアルコール系重合体本来の性質である水溶性が低下する懸念が生じる。また本発明の目的とする水性エマルジョンを得るためには該ビニルアルコール系重合体の重合度(粘度平均重合度)は100〜8000であることが好ましく、300〜3000がより好ましい。
【0014】
本発明の水性エマルジョンにおける分散質を構成するビニルエステル系単量体としては、蟻酸ビニル、酢酸ビニル、プロピオン酸ビニル、ピバリン酸ビニルなどが挙げられるが、酢酸ビニルが経済的にみて好ましい。
【0015】
また本発明においては、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体系樹脂エマルジョンをシードとしてビニルエステル系単量体を乳化重合する際、さらに(メタ)アクリル酸エステル系単量体を系中に添加し、共重合することにより、低温下における造膜性に優れた水性エマルジョンが得られる。(メタ)アクリル酸エステル系単量体としては特に制限されないが、例えば、アクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、アクリル酸ブチル、アクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル、アクリル酸ドデシル、アクリル酸2−ヒドロキシエチル、アクリル酸ラウリル、メタクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸ブチル、メタクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル、メタクリル酸ドデシル、メタクリル酸2−ヒドロキシエチル等を挙げることができる。
【0016】
上記の(メタ)アクリル酸エステル系単量体の使用量は特に制限されないが、通常、ビニルエステル系単量体100重量部に対して、0.05〜15重量部、好ましくは0.1〜10重量部、さらに好ましくは0.3〜7重量部である。該単量体の使用量が0.05重量部未満の場合、低温における造膜性の顕著な向上が見られず、また、15重量部をこえる場合、凍結融解安定性が低下する懸念が生じる。
【0017】
また、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、その他のエチレン性不飽和単量体およびジエン系単量体を共重合しても構わない。このような単量体としては、エチレン、プロピレン、イソブチレンなどのオレフィン、塩化ビニル、フッ化ビニル、ビニリデンクロリド、ビニリデンフルオリドなどのハロゲン化オレフィン、アクリルアミド、メタクリルアミド、N−メチロールアクリルアミド、N,N−ジメチルアクリルアミド、アクリルアミド−2−メチルプロパンスルホン酸およびそのナトリウム塩などのアクリルアミド系単量体、スチレン、α−メチルスチレン、p−メチルスチレンスルホン酸およびナトリウム、カリウム塩などのスチレン系単量体、ジビニルベンゼン、テトラアリロキシエタン、 N,N’−メチレンビス−アクリルアミド、N−ビニルピロリドンなど、また、ブタジエン、イソプレン、クロロプレンなどのジエン系単量体が挙げられる。
【0018】
本発明の水性エマルジョンは、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体系樹脂エマルジョンをシードとして酢酸ビニルなどのビニルエステル系単量体を、1,2−グリコール結合を1.9モル%以上有するビニルアルコール系重合体(以後高1,2−グリコールPVAと略記することがある)の水溶液を分散剤として添加し、乳化重合して得られる。重合の方法は特に制限されず、重合容器に水およびEVAエマルジョンを入れ、通常のラジカル重合に使用される重合開始剤を用いて、酢酸ビニルモノマーを添加しながら重合するとよい。この場合、酢酸ビニルモノマーの一部或いは全部を重合開始前に水およびEVAエマルジョンと一緒に重合容器に添加してもよいし、またはその一部或いは全量を重合中、連続的に或いは断続的に添加してもよい。
【0019】
高1,2−グリコールPVAの使用量については特に制限はないが、最終的に得られる水性エマルジョンの固形分中にPVAが2〜20重量%となる程度が好ましい。PVAの使用量が2重量%より少ないとシード重合の際の重合安定性が低下し、また20重量%より多くしても重合安定性はそれ以上向上せず、耐水性が低下する懸念が生じる。
【0020】
上記の方法で得られる水性エマルジョンは、そのまま用いることができるが、必要に応じ、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、従来公知の各種エマルジョンを添加して用いることができる。さらにまた、必要に応じて、従来公知のアニオン性、ノニオン性あるいはカチオン性の界面活性剤や、PVA系重合体、ヒドロキシエチルセルロースなどを併用することもできる。
【0021】
本発明の水性エマルジョンは、とくに可塑剤を使用しなくても優れた造膜性を有し、凍結融解安定性に優れ、さらにはエマルジョンの耐皮張り性に優れているため、各種接着剤、とくに、紙用、木工用およびプラスチック用の接着剤、含浸紙用、不織製品用のバインダーとして有用であり、さらにはセメント混和剤、セメント打継ぎ材、塗料、紙加工および繊維加工などの分野にも好適に用いられる。
【0022】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous emulsion. More specifically, the present invention has an excellent film-forming property without using a plasticizer, is excellent in freeze-thaw stability, and is further excellent in the skin resistance of an emulsion. The present invention relates to an emulsion production method and an adhesive using the aqueous emulsion.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as PVA) has been widely used as a protective colloid for emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, particularly vinyl ester monomers represented by vinyl acetate, Vinyl ester aqueous emulsions obtained by emulsion polymerization using this as a protective colloid are various adhesives for paper, woodworking and plastics, various binders, admixtures and punches for impregnated paper and non-woven products. Widely used in fields such as seams, paints, paper processing and textile processing. Such widely used vinyl acetate resin emulsions also have various drawbacks. That is, the temperature dependence of the viscosity is large, and the viscosity is remarkably increased at low temperatures such as in winter, resulting in poor workability. In particular, the film-forming property at low temperatures is poor, and the addition of a plasticizer such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is necessary. Therefore, the obtained film is given flexibility by adding a plasticizer. Especially when used for winter, the amount of DBP added increases, but DBP has been taken up as a compound that acts as an environmental hormone, and the development of a vinyl acetate resin emulsion that does not contain such a compound has become an urgent task. Yes.

In this case, the method for producing an aqueous emulsion satisfying the above-mentioned purpose, wherein a vinyl alcohol polymer having 1,2-glycol bond of 1.9 mol% or more is added as a dispersant. I found it. Further, when the vinyl ester monomer is emulsion-polymerized using the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin emulsion as a seed, a (meth) acrylic acid ester monomer is further added to the system and copolymerized. It has been found that an aqueous emulsion having desirable physical properties can be obtained, and the present invention has been completed.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin emulsion (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as EVA emulsion) used as a seed for the production of the aqueous emulsion of the present invention is not particularly limited, but usually has an ethylene content of 5 to 35% by weight, preferably Is 10 to 30% by weight. When the ethylene content is less than 5% by weight, the film formability of the resulting aqueous emulsion may be deteriorated. When ethylene content exceeds 35 weight%, there exists a concern that the film | membrane intensity | strength of the aqueous emulsion obtained will fall.
[0007]
The content of the EVA emulsion used as a seed is 15 to 40% by weight in solid content with respect to the total of the vinyl ester resin emulsion subjected to seed polymerization and the EVA emulsion and PVA used as a seed (total solid content in the aqueous emulsion). It is preferable that When the EVA emulsion (solid content) used as a seed is less than 15% by weight, not only the film formation temperature of the vinyl ester resin emulsion to be produced becomes 0 ° C. or higher, but also the viscosity becomes too high. On the other hand, if the proportion of the EVA emulsion (solid content) used as a seed exceeds 40% by weight, the skin resistance of the resulting aqueous emulsion is undesirably lowered.
[0008]
In the present invention, the content of 1,2-glycol bonds in the vinyl alcohol polymer used as the dispersant must be 1.9 mol% or more, more preferably 1.95 mol% or more, optimal. Is 2 mol% or more. When the content of 1,2-glycol bond is less than 1.9 mol%, there is a concern that the freeze-thaw stability and skin resistance of the aqueous emulsion obtained are lowered. Further, the content of 1,2-glycol bonds is preferably 4 mol% or less, more preferably 3.5 mol% or less, and most preferably 3.2 mol% or less. Here, the content of 1,2-glycol bonds can be determined from analysis of NMR spectra.
[0009]
There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a manufacturing method of the vinyl alcohol-type polymer which has 1.9 mol% or more of 1, 2- glycol bonds in said molecule | numerator, A well-known method can be used. As an example, a method in which vinylene carbonate is copolymerized with a vinyl ester so as to have the above 1,2-glycol bond amount, and the polymerization temperature of the vinyl ester is polymerized under pressure at a temperature higher than normal conditions, for example, 75 to 200 ° C. The method of doing is mentioned. In the latter method, the polymerization temperature is preferably 95 to 190 ° C, particularly preferably 100 to 180 ° C. Moreover, it is important to select the pressurizing condition such that the polymerization system is lower than the boiling point, preferably 0.2 MPa or more, and more preferably 0.3 MPa or more. The upper limit is preferably 5 MPa or less, and more preferably 3 MPa or less. A vinyl alcohol polymer is obtained by saponifying the vinyl ester polymer thus obtained by a usual method.
[0010]
In the present invention, the vinyl alcohol polymer having 1.9 mol% or more of the 1,2-glycol bond described above preferably further contains 1 to 20 mol% of α-olefin units. is there. The content of α-olefin units is preferably 1 to 10 mol%, more preferably 1.5 to 8 mol%. By using this polymer, the film-forming property of the aqueous emulsion is further improved.
Examples of the α-olefin unit include ethylene, propylene, isobutylene and the like, and ethylene is preferably used.
[0011]
As a method for producing this polymer, for example, a method in which vinylene carbonate is copolymerized with an α-olefin and a vinyl ester monomer so as to have the above 1,2-glycol bond amount, an α-olefin and a vinyl ester monomer are used. When copolymerizing the monomer, a method in which the polymerization temperature is higher than normal conditions, for example, 70 to 200 ° C., and polymerization is performed under pressure. In the latter method, the polymerization temperature is preferably 75 to 190 ° C, optimally 75 to 160 ° C. The polymerization can be carried out by any method such as bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, suspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator, but solution polymerization, particularly solution polymerization using methanol as a solvent, Is preferred. A vinyl alcohol polymer is obtained by saponifying the vinyl ester polymer thus obtained by a usual method.
Here, examples of the vinyl ester include vinyl formate, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl pivalate and the like, and generally vinyl acetate is preferably used.
[0012]
The above-mentioned vinyl alcohol polymer having 1,2-glycol bond of 1.9 mol% or more is copolymerized with other copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers within the range not impairing the effects of the present invention. What you did is fine. Examples of such ethylenically unsaturated monomers include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, fumaric acid, (anhydrous) maleic acid, itaconic acid, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrylamide, methacrylamide, trimethyl- (3-acrylamide). -3-dimethylpropyl) -ammonium chloride, acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and its sodium salt, ethyl vinyl ether, butyl vinyl ether, vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide, vinyl fluoride, vinylidene chloride, vinylidene fluoride, tetrafluoroethylene N-vinylamides such as sodium vinylsulfonate, sodium allylsulfonate, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylformamide, N-vinylacetamide, and the like. In addition, a vinyl ester monomer such as vinyl acetate was polymerized in the presence of a thiol compound such as thiol acetic acid or mercaptopropionic acid, or a vinyl ester monomer and ethylene were copolymerized. It is also possible to use a modified product having a mercapto group or a carboxyl group at the terminal obtained by saponifying the polymer.
[0013]
The saponification degree of the vinyl alcohol polymer having 1,2-glycol bond of 1.9 mol% or more is not particularly limited, but usually 60 mol% or more is used, more preferably 70 mol% or more, Preferably it is 75 mol% or more. When the saponification degree is less than 60 mol%, there is a concern that the water solubility, which is the original property of the vinyl alcohol polymer, is lowered. In order to obtain an aqueous emulsion as the object of the present invention, the degree of polymerization (viscosity average degree of polymerization) of the vinyl alcohol polymer is preferably 100 to 8000, more preferably 300 to 3000.
[0014]
Examples of the vinyl ester monomer constituting the dispersoid in the aqueous emulsion of the present invention include vinyl formate, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl pivalate, etc., but vinyl acetate is preferred from the economical viewpoint.
[0015]
In the present invention, when the vinyl ester monomer is emulsion-polymerized using the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin emulsion as a seed, a (meth) acrylic acid ester monomer is further added to the system for copolymerization. By doing so, an aqueous emulsion having excellent film-forming properties at low temperatures can be obtained.

When the amount of the monomer used is less than 0.05 parts by weight, there is no significant improvement in the film-forming property at low temperatures, and when it exceeds 15 parts by weight, there is a concern that the freeze-thaw stability is lowered. .
[0017]
Further, other ethylenically unsaturated monomers and diene monomers may be copolymerized as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. Examples of such monomers include olefins such as ethylene, propylene and isobutylene, halogenated olefins such as vinyl chloride, vinyl fluoride, vinylidene chloride and vinylidene fluoride, acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-methylolacrylamide, N, N Acrylamide monomers such as dimethylacrylamide, acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and its sodium salt, styrene monomers such as styrene, α-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrenesulfonic acid and sodium, potassium salt, Examples thereof include divinylbenzene, tetraallyloxyethane, N, N′-methylenebis-acrylamide, N-vinylpyrrolidone, and diene monomers such as butadiene, isoprene, and chloroprene.

[0019]
Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular about the usage-amount of high 1, 2- glycol PVA, The grade from which PVA becomes 2 to 20 weight% in solid content of the aqueous emulsion finally obtained is preferable. If the amount of PVA used is less than 2% by weight, the polymerization stability at the time of seed polymerization is lowered, and if it is more than 20% by weight, the polymerization stability is not further improved and there is a concern that the water resistance is lowered. .
[0020]
