Abstract

The present invention provides an adhesive for laminating a metal foil and a resin film, including: (A) 1% to 20% by mass of polyurethane which has at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group, an acryloyl group, and a carboxy group; (B) 30% to 90% by mass of a monomer which does not has an active hydrogen and has two or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds; (C) 1% to 55% by mass of an aliphatic monomer which has one ethylenically unsaturated bond; (D) 1% to 15% by mass of a polyisocyanate compound; and (E) 0.5% to 5% by mass of a photoinitiator. The (B) has a cyclic structure, and the (C) has a linear hydrocarbon group, a branched hydrocarbon group, or a cycloalkyl group.

Claims (38)

1. An adhesive for laminating a metal foil and a resin film, comprising:

(A) 1% to 20% by mass of polyurethane which has at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group, an acryloyl group, and a carboxy group;

(B) 30% to 90% by mass of a monomer which does not has an active hydrogen group and has two or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds;

(C) 1% to 55% by mass of an aliphatic monomer which has one ethylenically unsaturated bond;

(D) 1% to 15% by mass of a polyisocyanate compound; and

(E) 0.5% to 5% by mass of a photoinitiator,

wherein the (B) has at least one cyclic structure selected from the group consisting of an alicyclic structure, an aromatic ring structure, and a heterocyclic structure, and

the (C) has at least one group selected from the group consisting of an open chain hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms and an alicyclic group having 5 to 10 carbon atoms.

2. The adhesive according to claim 1 ,

wherein the (A) has at least one selected from the group consisting of polyurethane polyol (a1), polyurethane acrylate (a2), and carboxy group-containing polyurethane (a3).

3. The adhesive according to claim 2 ,

wherein the polyurethane polyol (a1) is polyurethane polyol obtained by copolymerizing (1) polyol, (2) hydrocarbon having a saturated or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon structure and two or more hydroxy groups, and (3) polyisocyanate compound.

4. The adhesive according to claim 3 ,

wherein the polyol is at least one selected from the group consisting of (1a) polyolefin polyol which does not have an alicyclic structure and (1b) polyester polyol which has a constitutional unit derived from a hydrogenated dimer acid and a constitutional unit derived from a hydrogenated dimer diol.

5. The adhesive according to claim 2 ,

wherein the polyurethane acrylate (a2) is polyurethane acrylate obtained by copolymerizing (1) polyol, (2) hydrocarbon having a saturated or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon structure and two or more hydroxy groups, (3) polyisocyanate compound, and (4) (meth)acrylate having one or more hydroxy groups.

6. The adhesive according to claim 2 ,

wherein the carboxy group-containing polyurethane (a3) is carboxy group-containing polyurethane obtained by copolymerizing (1) polyol, (2) hydrocarbon having a saturated or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon structure and two or more hydroxy groups, (3) polyisocyanate compound, and (5) compound having one or more hydroxy groups and one or more carboxy groups.

7. The adhesive according to claim 1 ,

wherein the (C) contains an aliphatic monomer (c1) containing an active hydrogen group and having one ethylenically unsaturated bond.

8. The adhesive according to claim 1 ,

wherein the (C) contains an aliphatic monomer (c2) containing phosphorus and having one ethylenically unsaturated bond.

9. The adhesive according to claim 7 ,

wherein a ratio (NCO/active hydrogen) of the number of isocyanate groups contained in the (D) to the total number of active hydrogens contained in the (A) and the (c1) is 1.5 or greater.

10. A laminate,

wherein a metal foil and a resin film are laminated by interposing an adhesive layer formed by curing the adhesive according to claim 1 therebetween.

11. The laminate according to claim 10 ,

wherein the metal foil is an aluminum foil, and

the resin film includes a thermally fusible resin film.

12. The laminate according to claim 10 ,

wherein a thickness of the metal foil is in a range of 10 to 100 μm, and

a thickness of the resin film is in a range of 9 to 100 μm.

13. A packaging material for a battery casing, comprising:

the laminate according to claim 10 .

14. A battery case comprising:

the packaging material for a battery casing according to claim 13 .

15. A method of producing a battery case, comprising:

performing deep drawing molding or stretch molding on the packaging material for a battery casing according to claim 13 .
