Description

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

1. Substrate for Adhesive Tape and Manufacturing Method Thereof

[0018] The substrate for adhesive tape of the present invention includes 25 to 75 parts by mass of a plasticizer and 5 to 40 parts by mass of an inorganic filler with respect to 100 parts by mass of polyvinyl chloride resin having a mean degree of polymerization of 1200 to 1800. The mean particle size of the inorganic filler is 0.05 to 0.8 m, and the thickness of the substrate is 40 to 80 m.

[0019] Hereinafter, each of the constitution will be described in detail.

Polyvinyl Chloride Resin

[0020] The polyvinyl chloride resin of the present invention preferably has a mean degree of polymerization of 1200 to 1800, and polyvinyl chloride resins having different mean degree of polymerization can be used alone, or two or more of these can be used in combination. When the mean degree of polymerization is lower than 1200, the resin becomes too soft during substrate processing, and the film forming property can be deteriorated. When the mean degree of polymerization is higher than 1800, the substrate becomes rigid, and the following property of the tape with the electric wire when the tape is wound onto the electric wire can be deteriorated. The mean degree of polymerization can be measured by GPC.

Plasticizer

[0021] As the plasticizer used in the present invention, any plasticizer which can provide flexibility to the polyvinyl chloride resin can be used. Specifically, DINP (diisononyl phthalate), DHP (diheptyl phthalate), DOP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate), n-DOP (di-n-octyl phthalate), DIDP (diisodecyl phthalate), BBP (benzylbutyl phthalate), TOTM (tri-2-ethylhexyl trimellitate), DOA (di-2-ethylhexyl adipate), TCP (tricresyl phosphate), BOA (benzyloctyl adipate), DPCP (diphenyl cresyl phosphate), diisodecyl adipate, epoxidized soybean oil, epoxidized linseed oil, and chlorinated paraffin can be mentioned for example. These plasticizers can be used alone or two or more of these can be used in combination. The plasticizer preferably has a melting point of 40 C. or lower. In such case, the tensile elongation of the substrate becomes superior even under 30 C. atmosphere.

[0022] The content of the plasticizer is 25 to 75 parts by mass, preferably 45 to 75 parts by mass, more preferably 50 to 70 parts by mass, and further preferably 55 to 65 parts by mass. In addition, when the amount of the plasticizer is 25 parts by mass or more, the tensile elongation under 30 C. atmosphere tends to become superior. When the content of the plasticizer is 75 parts by mass or less, the substrate would not become too soft, and deterioration of tensile strength as well as deterioration of film forming property can be suppressed. Further, transfer of plasticizer to the adhesive layer is suppressed, thereby suppressing delamination of the adhesive tape from electric wires due to deterioration of adhesive force.

Inorganic Filler

[0023] As the inorganic filler used in the present invention, any inorganic particles which can be used as the filler of polyvinyl chloride resin can be used. For example, inorganic particles of aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, zirconium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, triphenyl phosphite, ammonium polyphosphate, polyphosphate amide, zirconium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, molybdenum oxide, guanidine phosphate, hydrotalcite, snaketite, zinc borate, anhydrous zinc borate, zinc metaborate, barium metaborate, antimony oxide, antimony trioxide, antimony pentoxide, red phosphorus, talc, alumina, silica, boehmite, bentonite, sodium silicate, calcium silicate, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and magnesium carbonate can be used.

[0024] The mean particle size of the inorganic filler is 0.05 to 0.8 m, more preferably 0.07 to 0.75 m. The mean particle size can be measured by air permeability method, with the procedures below.

[0025] (1) A sieve plate is placed in a sample tube having a cross-sectional area of 2 cm.sup.2, and an exclusive filter paper is placed thereon. 3 g of the sample is weighed and placed in the sample tube, and a sheet of filter paper is placed thereon. The sample layer is pressurized and filled with a plunger to adjust the thickness of the sample layer to 1.35 cm.

[0026] (2) Grease is applied onto the fitting face of the sample tube and the sample tube is set it in a measuring device. The pressure difference P between the sample layers at both ends is set to 500 mmH.sub.2O, and the time required for 5 cc of air to pass through the sample layer is measured.

[0027] (3) Here, regarding products with a surface area of 5000 cm.sup.2/g or less, the thickness of the sample layer is 1.20 cm, and the pressure difference AP between both ends of the sample layer is 200 mmH.sub.2O.

[0028] (4) The mean particle size of the sample is calculated from the following formula.

[00001]$\begin{array}{cc}d.Math..Math.m=\frac{6}{.Math..Math.\mathrm{Sw}}{10}^4& \left[\mathrm{formula}.Math..Math.1\right]\\ \mathrm{wherein};& \\ \mathrm{Sw}=\frac{14}{{}^{*}.Math.}.Math.\sqrt{\frac{.Math..Math.\mathrm{PAt}}{.Math..Math.\mathrm{LQ}}*\frac{{\mathrm{.Math.}}^3}{{\left(1.Math.\mathrm{.Math.}\right)}^2}}& \\ \mathrm{.Math.}=1-\frac{W}{.Math..Math.\mathrm{AL}}& \end{array}$

[0029] here,

[0031] Sw: surface area of powder (cm.sup.2/g)

[0032] : porosity of sample filled layer

[0033] : density of powder (g/cm.sup.3) (=2.70)

[0034] : viscosity coefficient of air (g/cm.Math.sec) (=18110.sup.6 at 20 C.)

[0041] The content of the inorganic filler is 5 to 40 parts by mass, preferably 10 to 35 parts by mass, and more preferably 15 to 30 parts by mass.

Other Additives

[0042] The polyvinyl chloride based substrate of the present invention can include, in a range which does not impair the effect of the present invention, a modifier, and colorant, stabilizer, antioxidant, UV absorber, lubricant and the like as other additives.

[0043] As the modifier for example, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl chloride-ethylene copolymer, vinyl chloride-propylene copolymer, chlorinated polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, thermoplastic polyurethane, polyester based thermoplastic elastomer and the like can be mentioned. These modifiers can be used alone, or two or more of these can be used in combination.

Manufacturing Method of Substrate for Adhesive Tape

[0044] The substrate for adhesive tape of the present invention can be obtained by melting and kneading a composition prepared by mixing polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer, inorganic filler, and other additives. The melt-kneading method is not particularly limited. Here, various mixers and kneaders equipped with a heating device such as a twin-screw extruder, continuous and batch kneaders, rolls, and a Banbury mixer can be used. The composition is mixed so as to disperse uniformly, and the mixture obtained is molded into a substrate by a common molding method such as calendar method, T-die method, inflation method and the like. As the molding machine, a calendar molding machine is preferable in terms of productivity, color exchange, and uniformity of the shape. As the roll arrangement in the calendar molding, known arrangement such as L-shaped arrangement, inversed L-shaped arrangement, and Z-shaped arrangement can be used. In addition, the temperature of the rolls are set usually to 150 to 200 C., preferably to 155 to 190 C. The thickness of the substrate is usually 40 to 80 m, preferably 50 to 75 m, and more preferably 50 to 70 m.

2. Adhesive Tape and Manufacturing Method Thereof

[0045] The adhesive tape of the present invention comprises the aforementioned substrate for adhesive tape, and a primer layer and an adhesive layer is provided on the substrate for adhesive tape in this order. By using the substrate for adhesive tape, the repelling of the primer on the substrate is suppressed even when a primer including a water-borne latex is applied. Therefore, a uniform primer layer can be formed on the substrate. Accordingly, an adhesive tape having superior adhesion property between the substrate and the adhesive layer can be manufactured with high productivity.

[0046] The adhesive tape can be manufactured by a method comprising a primer layer forming step and an adhesive layer forming step. Hereinafter, each of the steps are explained.

Primer Layer Forming Step

[0047] In the primer layer forming step, a primer is applied onto the substrate to form the primer layer. The primer is preferably a water-borne primer including a water-borne latex. With a conventional substrate, the water-borne primer would be repelled by the substrate when being applied onto the substrate. Accordingly, it was difficult to form the primer layer uniformly. By using the substrate of the present invention, repelling of the primer on the substrate is suppressed even when the water-borne primer is applied.

[0048] The water-borne latex of the primer preferably includes a natural rubber latex including a component derived from natural rubber, and more preferably includes a graft polymer latex obtained by graft copolymerization of (meth)acrylic acid ester (for example, methyl methacrylate) with natural rubber. Further, water-borne latex preferably includes acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer emulsion.

[0049] Regarding the graft copolymer latex, the ratio is preferably in the range of 70 to 50 mass % of natural rubber and 30 to 50 mass % or (meth)acrylic acid ester. When the ratio of the (meth)acrylic acid ester in the graft copolymer is less than 30 mass %, the adhesion property between the (meth)acrylic acid ester and the film substrate becomes inferior, thereby resulting in cases where the adhesive tape delaminates. Further, when the ratio of the (meth)acrylic acid ester exceeds 50 mass %, the primer composition itself hardens, thereby being unable to follow the deformation of the film substrate. This may also result in cases where the adhesive tape delaminates.

[0050] As the afore-mentioned acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer emulsion, medium nitrile type (25 to 30% of nitrile content), medium-high nitrile type (31 to 35% of nitrile content), high nitrile type (36 to 43% of nitrile content) and the like can be mentioned. These acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer emulsions can be used alone, or two or more of these can be used in combination.

[0051] The afore-mentioned primer is applied onto the substrate and dried, thereby forming the primer layer. The primer layer includes a resin obtained by removing water from the latex or the emulsion (component derived from natural rubber, graft copolymer, acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer).

[0052] As the method for coating the primer, gravure method, spray method, kiss roll method, bar method, knife method and the like can be mentioned. The thickness of the primer is usually 0.1 to 1m, preferably 0.3 to 0.5m.

Adhesive Layer Forming Step

[0053] In the adhesive layer forming step, adhesive is applied onto the primer layer to form the adhesive layer.

[0054] Regarding the adhesive layer in the present invention, the adhesive layer preferably contains 50 to 150 parts by mass (solids) of a tackifier resin emulsion, with respect to 100 parts by mass (solids) of a rubber component comprising a mixture of a natural rubber latex and a synthetic rubber latex.

[0055] As the rubber component of the mixture comprising the natural rubber latex and the synthetic rubber latex, natural rubber-(meth)acrylic acid ester (for example, methyl methacrylate) copolymer latex, styrene-butadiene copolymer latex, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer latex, (meth)acrylic acid ester (for example, methyl methacrylate)-butadiene copolymer latex and the like can be mentioned. These can be used alone or two or more of these can be used in combination.

[0056] The tackifier resin emulsion can be selected by taking the softening point and the compatibility with each of the components into consideration. For example, terpene resin, rosin resin, hydrogenated rosin resin, coumarone/indene resin, styrene based resin, aliphatic petroleum resin, alicylic petroleum resin, terpene-phenol resin, xylene based resin, other aliphatic hydrocarbon resin or aromatic hydrocarbon resin and the like can be mentioned. These resins can be used alone, or two or more of these can be used in combination.

[0057] As the method for coating the adhesive, comma method, lip die method, gravure method, roll method and the like can be mentioned. The thickness of the adhesive layer varies depending on the purpose and use, and is usually 5 to 50 m, more preferably 10 to 30 m.

Post-Processing Step

[0058] After the adhesive layer forming step, moisture is thoroughly dried by a drying oven, and then the adhesive surface and a releasing paper are laminated to obtain an adhesive film. Here, after the adhesive layer is dried, the resultant object can be rolled into a tape log form and cut in an arbitrary width to obtain an adhesive tape.

3. Physical Property and Use of Adhesive Tape

[0059] The adhesive tape of the present invention is characterized in that the tensile elongation under 30 C. atmosphere is 80% to 220%.

[0060] The adhesive tape of the present invention has superior low-temperature resistance, and can be used suitably for bundling electric wires and cables that are subject to low-temperature atmosphere.
