Abstract

A photocurable silicone composition is disclosed. A cured product of the composition is also disclosed, as well as methods of forming the same. The photocurable silicone composition comprises: (A) a specific organopolysiloxane having alkenyl groups in a molecule; (B) a compound having at least two thiol groups in a molecule; (C) a photoradical initiator having a phosphorus atom; and (D) a specific hydroxyphenyl triazine compound. The composition exhibits excellent curability by LED lamp with wide UV-Visible range as well as metal-halide lamp, and cures to form a cure product exhibiting excellent resistance to light.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A photocurable silicone composition comprising:
(A) 100 parts by mass of an organopolysiloxane represented by the following average composition formula:
R 1 a R 2 b SiO (4−a−b)/2
wherein, R 1 is an alkenyl group having from 2 to 12 carbons, R 2 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbons, an aryl group having from 6 to 12 carbons, or an aralkyl group having from 7 to 12 carbons; provided that, at least 30 mol % of R 2 in a molecule are the aryl groups or the aralkyl groups; and “a” and “b” are positive numbers satisfying: 1≤a+b≤2.5 and 0.001≤a/(a+b)≤0.2;

(B) a compound having at least two thiol groups in a molecule, in an amount that the amount of the thiol groups in the present component is in a range of from 0.2 to 2.0 mol per 1 mol of the total alkenyl groups in component (A);
(C) from 0.01 to 5 parts by mass of a photoradical initiator having a phosphorus atom; and
(D) from 0.001 to 2 parts by mass of a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound represented by the following general formula:

wherein, R 31 , R 32 , R 33 , R 34 , R 35 , R 36 and R 37 are the same or different, and are groups selected from hydrogen atoms, hydroxy groups or alkyl groups having from 1 to 12 carbons, R 4 is a group represented by the following general formula:
—CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 OR 5

wherein, R 5 is a linear or branched alkyl group having from 6 to 20 carbons.

2. The photocurable silicone composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 31 , R 34 and R 35 in component (D) are hydrogen atoms and R 32 , R 33 , R 36 and R 37 in component (D) are hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups having from 1 to 12 carbons.

3. The photocurable silicone composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (D) is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 1.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of component (A).

4. The photocurable silicone composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (D) is a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound selected from
a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound represented by the following formula;

a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound represented by the following formula:

a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound represented by the following formula:

 and mixtures thereof.

5. A cured product obtained by irradiating the photocurable silicone composition according to claim 1 with light.

6. The cured product according to claim 5 , wherein the cured product is laminated between same or different substrates.

7. The cured product according to claim 5 , wherein the cured product is laminated between same or different substrates in an optical device.

8. The photocurable silicone composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (D) is a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound represented by the following formula:

9. The photocurable silicone composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (D) is a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound represented by the following formula:

10. The photocurable silicone composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (D) is a hydroxyphenyl triazine compound represented by the following formula:
