Abstract

The present invention provides a primer for footwear constituting members, wherein the primer includes an acid-modified polyolefin resin and a medium; the acid-modified polyolefin resin is a copolymer including an olefin unit and an unsaturated carboxylic acid unit; the copolymer includes as the olefin unit, a propylene unit (A) and an olefin unit (B) other than the propylene unit; the mass ratio (A/B) between the propylene unit (A) and the olefin unit (B) other than the propylene unit is 60/40 to 95/5; and the content of the unsaturated carboxylic acid unit is 0.1 to 10 parts by mass in relation to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (A) and (B).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A primer for footwear constituting members comprising an acid-modified polyolefin resin and a medium,
wherein the acid-modified polyolefin resin is a copolymer including an olefin unit and an unsaturated carboxylic acid unit as copolymerization components;
the copolymer includes as the olefin unit, a propylene unit (A) and an olefin unit (B) other than the propylene unit;
a mass ratio (A/B) between the propylene unit (A) and the olefin unit (B) other than the propylene unit is 60/40 to 95/5;
a content of the unsaturated carboxylic acid unit is 0.1 to 10 parts by mass in relation to 100 parts by mass of a total amount of the propylene unit (A) and the olefin unit (B) other than the propylene unit; and
a content of a nonvolatile aqueous dispersing aid is 2% by mass or less in relation to the acid-modified polyolefin resin component.

2. The primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 , wherein a residual amount of an unreacted unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer component included in the acid-modified polyolefin resin is 10,000 ppm or less.

3. The primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 , wherein the medium is an aqueous medium, the acid-modified polyolefin resin is dispersed in the aqueous medium, and a weight average particle size of the acid-modified polyolefin resin dispersed in the aqueous medium is 0.5 μm or less.

4. The primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 , wherein the olefin unit (B) other than the propylene unit is butene.

5. The primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 3 , wherein a degree of dispersion in a particle size distribution of the acid-modified polyolefin resin in the aqueous dispersion is 2.6 or less.

6. The primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 , further comprising a polyurethane resin, wherein a content of the polyurethane resin is 5 to 300 parts by mass in relation to 100 parts by mass of the acid-modified polyolefin resin.

7. The primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 , further comprising a cross-linking agent, wherein a content of the cross-linking agent is 0.1 to 30 parts by mass in relation to 100 parts by mass of the acid-modified polyolefin resin.

8. The primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 , wherein the footwear constituting members are members made of a polyolefin-based resin.

9. A footwear constituting member wherein a primer layer obtained from the primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 is laminated on at least a part of a surface of the member.

10. A set of footwear comprising the footwear constituting member according to claim 9 .

11. A set of footwear wherein the footwear constituting member according to claim 9 is made to adhere through the intermediary of a urethane-based adhesive provided on the primer layer.

12. A method for producing a primer for footwear constituting members, wherein the production method is a method for producing the primer for footwear constituting members according to claim 1 ; the acid-modified polyolefin resin, a basic compound, an organic solvent and water are stirred in a hermetically sealed vessel at 80 to 240° C.; subsequently, at least one selected from the basic compound, the organic solvent and water is added to a stirred mixture; and a resulting mixture is stirred in the hermetically sealed vessel at 80 to 240° C.
