Abstract

A liquid leakage repair material includes: an inorganic filler in an amount of 20% by mass or greater but 95% by mass or less; and a curable composition that includes a monofunctional (meth) acrylate; a multifunctional (meth) acrylate; and a radical initiator. The target liquid to be prevented from leakage by the liquid leakage repair material is an oil. An oil absorption rate of the liquid leakage repair material after being cured is lower than 10%.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A liquid leakage repair material, comprising:
an inorganic filler in an amount of 20% by mass or greater but 95% by mass or less; and
a curable composition that includes a monofunctional (meth) acrylate represented by General Formula (1) below; a multifunctional (meth) acrylate; and a radical initiator,

where in General Formula (1), R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R 2 represents an organic group containing four or more carbon atoms,
wherein the target liquid to be prevented from leakage by the liquid leakage repair material is an oil,
wherein an oil absorption rate of the liquid leakage repair material after being cured is lower than 10%, as determined by filling the liquid leakage repair material in a mold formed of a silicone resin and having a size of 10 mm ×10 mm and a depth of 5 mm and by covering the surface of the liquid leakage repair material with releasable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) having a thickness of 50 micrometers, and, in this state, by curing the liquid leakage repair material by irradiation using a metal halide lamp until an integrated light quantity of 3 J/cm 2 at 365 nm, to produce a cured product and by taking the cured product out from the mold and by measuring the weight of the cured product as a weight before liquid absorption and the weight of the cured product being left to stand at 25° C. for 24 hours as a weight after liquid absorption, the oil absorption rate being calculated according to a formula:
oil absorption rate (%)=100×(weight after liquid absorption-weight before liquid absorption)/(weight before liquid absorption).

2. The liquid leakage repair material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the liquid leakage repair material is free of stringiness.

3. The liquid leakage repair material according to claim 1 ,
wherein a viscosity of the liquid leakage repair material is 0.1 Pa's or higher but 100,000 Pa·s or lower.

4. The liquid leakage repair material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the curable composition is an active-energy-ray-curable composition.

5. The liquid leakage repair material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the liquid leakage repair material has a shear adhesive strength of 0.15 MPa or greater.

6. The liquid leakage repair material according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the liquid leakage repair material is cured, a time taken until a storage modulus G′ of the liquid leakage repair material reaches 0.07 MPa is 0.50 minutes or shorter.

7. A liquid leakage repairing method, comprising:
applying the liquid leakage repair material according to claim 1 , which is an active-energy-ray-curable composition, over a liquid-leaked portion of a duct, and irradiating the liquid leakage repair material with active energy rays to cure the liquid leakage repair material.

8. A duct including a liquid-leaked portion, the duct comprising:
a cured product of the liquid leakage repair material according to claim 1 over the liquid-leaked portion.
