【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、合成樹脂からなる防錆被覆層を有する被覆PC鋼撚り線に関し、さらに詳しくは、耐薬品性、耐ピンホール性、耐久性、生産性、防錆性に優れた被覆PC鋼撚り線に関する。本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、プレストレストコンクリートの緊張材や各種構造体の緊張材として好適である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
PC鋼撚り線は、プレストレストコンクリート(以下「PCコンクリート」という)の緊張材として用いられている。PC鋼撚り線は、複数のPC鋼素線を撚り合わせたものであり、一般に、中心の芯線の周囲を複数の側線で撚り合わせた構成を有している。このPC鋼撚り線は、「PCストランド」と呼ばれることがある。
【0003】
PCコンクリート工法は、ピアノ線などのPC鋼材を緊張材として使用して、引張荷重の作用するところに予め圧縮力を与える工法である。この工法により建設された構造物では、周辺の環境により、水や塩水などがコンクリート内部に侵入し、内部の鋼材を腐食させることがある。PC鋼撚り線は、緊張状態で腐食が進行すると、切断の危険が生じる。そのため、PC鋼撚り線には、水、塩水などと接触する環境下であっても、腐食されないことが求められている。同時に、PC鋼撚り線は、アルカリ製のコンクリートと接触するため、優れた耐アルカリ性を有することが求められている。
【0004】
そこで、PC鋼撚り線の腐食を防止するために、耐薬品性に優れた合成樹脂を用いて、PC鋼撚り線の外側に防錆被覆層を形成する方法が提案されている。防錆被覆層は、PC鋼撚り線の外面に密着して形成する必要があるが、これに加えて、PC鋼撚り線は、芯線と側線との間に隙間(空隙部)が存在するため、防錆被覆層の形成に際し、この空隙部も合成樹脂によって充填する必要がある。
【0005】
従来、PC鋼撚り線の防食被覆層を形成する合成樹脂としては、エポキシ樹脂(例えば、特許文献1参照。)や、ポリエチレンなどの熱可塑性樹脂(例えば、特許文献2参照。)が用いられていた。しかし、これらの合成樹脂を用いる方法は、生産性、耐ピンホール性、耐久性などが不十分であった。
【0006】
エポキシ系樹脂を用いてPC鋼撚り線の防錆被覆層を形成する方法は、適切な組成のエポキシ樹脂を用いることにより、耐アルカリ性、耐薬品性、耐水性に優れた被覆層を形成することができる。また、エポキシ樹脂を用いると、エポキシ樹脂自体の剛性と耐クリープ性が高いため、防錆被覆層に高圧の側圧が長期にわたってかかるような使用条件下においても、設置初期はもとより、長期経過後にも被覆層の破壊が発生しないという利点を持っている。
【0007】
他方、エポキシ樹脂は、熱硬化性樹脂であるため、PC鋼撚り線に未硬化のエポキシ樹脂を被覆した後、熱硬化しなければならない。しかし、未硬化のエポキシ樹脂は、低分子量で溶融粘度が低いため、樹脂を溶融押出して被覆する押出被覆法により被覆層を形成することが困難か事実上不可能である。
【0008】
そのため、PC鋼撚り線に未硬化のエポキシ樹脂粉体を常温で静電塗装してから、加熱炉を通して熱硬化させる方法により、被覆層を形成する必要がある。しかし、この方法では、粉体塗装したPC鋼撚り線を、高速で長い加熱炉を通過させれば、エネルギーコストが増大し、短い加熱炉をゆっくり通過させれば、線速が稼げず生産性が低くなるという問題があった。また、エポキシ樹脂粉体の静電塗装法では、被覆層にピンホールが発生したり、被覆厚のバラツキが生じ易い。これらの不良部の除去や手直し等を行うと、生産性がさらに低下する。
【0009】
ポリエチレンは、耐アルカリ性、耐薬品性、遮水性に優れている。また、合成樹脂としてポリエチレンなどの熱可塑性樹脂を用いると、押出被覆法により被覆層を形成することができるため、押出後、溶融押出した樹脂層を冷却するだけで被覆PC鋼撚り線を得ることができる。したがって、熱可塑性樹脂を用いた押出被覆法によれば、低エネルギーコストで高生産性が得られ、しかもピンホールや被覆厚のバラツキも発生し難いという利点が得られる。
【0010】
しかし、ポリエチレンは、樹脂自体の剛性が不足していることやクリープを生じ易いことから、樹脂層にかかる側圧によって、被覆層の破壊が生じることがあり、特に長期経過後には被覆層の破壊が発生し易い。被覆層が破壊すると、破壊部分からPC鋼撚り線の腐食が進行する。したがって、ポリエチレン被覆PC鋼撚り線は、側圧がかからないか、低圧の側圧のみがかる用途に限られていた。
【0011】
一方、熱可塑性樹脂として、ポリカーボネート樹脂や熱可塑性ポリエステル樹脂を用いると、側圧負荷後の被覆破壊がない被覆PC鋼撚り線を製造することができるものの、アルカリ性環境下などに曝されると、被覆層が劣化し、側圧負荷後の被覆破壊も生じ易くなる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、耐薬品性、耐ピンホール性、耐久性、生産性、防錆性に優れた被覆PC鋼撚り線を提供することにある。より具体的に、本発明の目的は、アルカリ性環境下や塩水と接触する環境下でも、被覆層の劣化が生じ難く、側面からの圧縮力が加わる用途に適用しても、被覆層に割れが生じ難く、しかもピンホールのない被覆層を効率的に形成することができる被覆PC鋼撚り線を提供することにある。
【0014】
本発明者らは、前記目的を達成するために鋭意研究を行った結果、防錆被覆層として、ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂を40〜90重量%の割合で含有するポリマーアロイからなる変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂(以下、「変性PPE樹脂」と略記することがある)を含有する熱可塑性樹脂材料から形成された少なくとも一層の合成樹脂層を設けた被覆PC鋼撚り線に想到した。
【0015】
変性PPE樹脂は、熱可塑性樹脂であるため、溶融押出しながら連続的にPC鋼撚り線を被覆する「押出被覆法」の適用が可能であり、その結果、生産性が高く、実質的にピンホールがない防錆被覆層を有する被覆PC鋼撚り線を製造することができる。変性PPE樹脂は、剛性に優れているため、本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、側圧に対する被覆破壊耐性に優れている。変性PPE樹脂は、耐薬品性に優れているため、本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、アルカリ性環境下や塩水と接触する環境下での防錆効果が顕著に優れている。
【0016】
変性PPE樹脂の多くは、金属材料との接着性が十分ではなく、該樹脂単独では、被覆層とPC鋼撚り線との間が強固に接着していることが望まれる用途には不十分な場合がある。そのような場合には、変性PPE樹脂を接着性樹脂と組み合わせて使用する方法が効果的である。そのような方法の一つとして、熱可塑性樹脂材料として、変性PPE樹脂と接着性樹脂とをブレンドした樹脂組成物を使用する方法が挙げられる。他の方法としては、接着性樹脂または変性PPE樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含有する樹脂組成物により、芯線と側線との隙間、及びPC鋼撚り線の外面を被覆し、さらにその上に、変性PPE樹脂を含有する熱可塑性樹脂材料からなる層を形成する方法が挙げられる。接着性樹脂としては、ポリマーブレンドの技術分野で、高分子相溶化剤として知られている反応型エチレン共重合体、反応型スチレン共重合体、反応型スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーなどの極性基を有する樹脂が好適である。
【0017】
さらに、変性PPE樹脂を用いる上記方法と組み合わせて、被覆PC鋼撚り線の垂直方向の断面形状を真円形状に近付け、防錆被覆層に加わる側面からの圧縮力を分散させることにより、さらに高圧の側圧に対しても、防錆被覆層の割れを生じ難い被覆PC撚り線を得ることができる。本発明は、これらの知見に基づいて完成するに至ったものである。
【0018】
【課題を解決するための手段】
かくして、本発明によれば、中心の芯線の周囲に複数の側線を撚り合わせた構成のPC鋼撚り線の外側に、合成樹脂から形成された少なくとも一層の防錆被覆層を有する被覆PC鋼撚り線において、防錆被覆層として、ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂を40〜90重量%の割合で含有するポリマーアロイからなる変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂を含有する熱可塑性樹脂材料から形成された少なくとも一層の合成樹脂層を有することを特徴とする被覆PC鋼撚り線が提供される。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明で使用する変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂(「変性PPE樹脂」)とは、ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂〔すなわち、ポリ(2,6−ジメチル−1,4−フェニレン)エーテル〕と、ポリスチレン系樹脂、ポリプロピレン系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート系樹脂、ポリエーテルスルホン系樹脂、エラストマーなどの他のポリマーとのポリマーアロイである。
【0020】
変性PPE樹脂は、一般に、耐熱性、難燃性、寸法精度、剛性、耐薬品性、耐候性などに優れた熱可塑性樹脂である。変性PPE樹脂は、耐薬品性の中でも、特に耐アルカリ性に優れている。このため、変性PPE樹脂から形成された被覆層は、PCコンクリートの緊張材のように、長期間にわたってコンクリートと接触することを余儀なくされる用途において、コンクリートの成分に起因するアルカリ性環境下で、殆んど劣化することがない。変性PPE樹脂は、剛性が高く、圧縮に対する耐性が高いため、被覆層として用いると、側圧による被覆層の破壊が防止される。変性PPE樹脂は、クリープを起こし難い性能をも有しているため、長期間側圧が加わった状態におかれても、被覆厚が薄くなったり、被覆層が破壊されることがなく、十分な防錆効果を維持することができる。
【0021】
変性PPE樹脂は、ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂(「PPE樹脂」)と他のポリマー(変性剤)とのポリマーアロイであるが、他のポリマーとしては、耐薬品性、耐候性、剛性、耐クリープ性などに優れ、しかも各種グレードのものを容易に容易することが可能であることから、ポリスチレン(PS)またはハイインパクトポリスチレン(HIPS)などのポリスチレン系樹脂が好ましい。変性剤として、ポリスチレン系樹脂を用いた変性PPE樹脂は、「PPE/PS系」の変性PPE樹脂と呼ぶことがある。PPE樹脂は、ポリスチレンと完全に相溶するため、PPE/PS系変性PPE樹脂のガラス転移温度は、組成比に応じて直線的に変化し、耐熱性を自由に制御することができる。
【0022】
変性PPE樹脂は、市販品の中から本発明に適した特性を有するものを選択して使用することができる。好ましい市販品としては、例えば、三菱エンジニアリングプラスチック社製「ユピエース」(登録商標)、日本イージープラスチック社製「ノリル」(登録商標)、旭化成社製「ザイロン」(登録商標)、住友化学社製「アートレックス」(登録商標)などのPPE/PS系変性PPE樹脂が挙げられる。
【0023】
本発明で使用する変性PPE樹脂は、耐熱性、耐薬品性、耐候性、剛性、耐クリープ性などの観点から、ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂(PPE樹脂)を40〜90重量%、好ましくは60〜80重量%の割合で含有するポリマーアロイであることが望ましい。PPE樹脂の含有比率が低すぎると、耐熱性が不十分となるだけではなく、変性PPE樹脂からなる被覆層が側圧を受けた際に、被覆層に割れが生じ易くなる。PPE樹脂の含有比率が高すぎると、伸びが小さくなりすぎて、被覆PC鋼撚り線をドラムなどに巻回した場合に、被覆層に割れが生じ易くなる。
【0024】
本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、防錆被覆層として、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂を含有する熱可塑性樹脂材料から形成された少なくとも一層の合成樹脂層を有している。熱可塑性樹脂材料は、樹脂成分として、変性PPE樹脂を単独で含有するものであってもよい。また、本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、被覆層が変性PPE樹脂から形成された単層であってもよい。
【0025】
変性PPE樹脂は、一般に、金属材料との接着性に乏しく、該樹脂単独では、被覆層とPC鋼撚り線との間が強固に接着していることが望まれる用途には不十分な場合がある。そのような場合には、変性PPE樹脂を接着性樹脂と組み合わせて使用する方法を採用することが望ましい。
【0026】
接着性樹脂を併用する方法としては、熱可塑性樹脂材料として、変性PPE樹脂と接着性樹脂とをブレンドした樹脂組成物を使用する方法がある。また、接着性樹脂を併用する他の方法としては、(A1)接着性樹脂、(A2)変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含有する樹脂組成物または(A3)ポリスチレン系樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含有する樹脂組成物により、芯線と側線との間の隙間、及びPC鋼撚り線の外面を被覆する内層(A)を形成し、さらにその上に、変性PPE樹脂を含有する熱可塑性樹脂材料からなる外層(B)を形成する方法が挙げられる。ポリスチレン系樹脂としては、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂の調製に用いられる前記のものが好適に使用される。
【0027】
接着性樹脂としては、カルボキシル基、酸無水物基、エポキシ基、及びエステル基からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種の極性基を有する共重合体が挙げられる。このような共重合体は、ランダム共重合体、交互共重合体、ブロック共重合体、またはグラフト共重合体である。
【0028】
このような接着性樹脂としては、ポリマーブレンドの技術分野において、「高分子相溶化剤」として公知の樹脂材料を使用することが好ましい。具体的には、カルボキシル基、酸無水物基、エポキシ基、及びエステル基からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種の極性基を有するランダム共重合体、交互共重合体、ブロック共重合体、またはグラフト共重合体であって、反応型エチレン共重合体、反応型スチレン共重合体、反応型スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーなどとして公知の各種高分子相溶化剤を挙げることができる。
【0029】
高分子相溶化剤は、ポリマーブレンドの技術分野では、相溶性が不十分な2種以上のポリマーをブレンドする際に、相溶化剤として使用されているものであるが、本発明では、変性PPE樹脂の金属材料に対する接着性を改善するために、変性PPE樹脂にブレンドして用いたり、金属材料であるPC鋼撚り線の各素線と密着する内層の樹脂成分として、高分子相溶化剤を使用する。また、「反応型高分子相溶化剤」とは、2種以上のポリマーをブレンドする際に相溶化剤として添加すると、いずれか一方または両方のポリマーと反応を起こすタイプの高分子相溶化剤を意味しているが、接着性樹脂として使用する本発明では、必ずしもそのような反応が実際に生じている必要はない。
【0030】
高分子相溶化剤として知られている反応型エチレン共重合体、反応型スチレン共重合体、及び反応型スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーは、エチレンまたはスチレンを必須のモノマー成分とし、その他のコモノマーと共重合して得られる共重合体である。コモノマーとしては、極性基を有するコモノマーが用いられ、必要に応じて、その他のコモノマーも用いられる。共重合体のタイプとしては、ランダム共重合体、交互共重合体、ブロック共重合体、及びグラフト共重合体のいずれかである。また、グラフト共重合体の場合などは、モノマーだけではなく、オリゴマーやマクロモノマーなどをも用いることができる。

【0032】
極性基としては、カルボキシル基、酸無水物基(例えば、無水マレイン酸基など)、エポキシ基(例えば、グリシジル基など)、エステル基(例えば、アルキルエステル基、ビニルエステル基、ヒドロキシアルキルエステル基、アミノアルキルエステル基など)などが挙げられる。これらの極性基を1種以上有する高分子相溶化剤は、接着性樹脂として好適である。
【0033】

【0035】
反応型スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーとしては、例えば、無水マレイン酸変性スチレン−エチレンブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体(すなわち、無水マレイン酸変性水添SEBS)を挙げることができる。
【0036】
接着性樹脂として用いられる反応型高分子相溶化剤としては、アルカリ性条件下で加水分解を受ける結合を持たない樹脂が好ましく、具体的には、主鎖骨格中にアミド結合やエステル結合を持たない樹脂が好ましい。接着性樹脂(高分子相溶化剤)として、主鎖骨格中にアルカリ加水分解を受ける結合を持たない樹脂を選択使用すれば、被覆層全体がアルカリ性環境に侵されることを防止することができる。
【0037】
アルカリ性条件下で加水分解を受ける結合を持たない高分子相溶化剤(接着性樹脂)としては、前述の反応型エチレン共重合体、反応型スチレン共重合体、及び反応型スチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーを挙げることができるが、これらの中でも代表的なものとしては、エチレン−アクリル酸共重合体、エチレン−メタクリル酸共重合体、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート−無水マレイン酸共重合体、エチレン−メチルメタクリレート共重合体、エチレン−グリシジルメタクリレート共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート−無水マレイン酸共重合体にスチレンをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、無水マレイン酸変性スチレン−エチレンブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体などが挙げられる。
【0038】
また、接着性樹脂としては、変性PPE樹脂との相溶性に優れ、接着力の向上に効果的なスチレン系共重合体が好ましい。スチレン系共重合体は、スチレンモノマーを必須成分として、極性基含有モノマーやその他のモノマーと共重合させて得られる共重合体である。共重合体のタイプとしては、ランダム共重合体、交互共重合体、ブロック共重合体、グラフト共重合体などがある。
【0039】
接着性樹脂として好適なスチレン系共重合体としては、前述の高分子相溶化剤として知られている共重合体の中から、主鎖骨格中またはグラフト鎖中にスチレン単位を含有するものを選択すればよい。接着性樹脂として好ましいスチレン系共重合体の代表例としては、エチレン−グリシジルメタクリレート共重合体にスチレンをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体にスチレンをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体にスチレンをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、エチレン−グリシジルメタクリレート共重合体にスチレンとアクリロニトリルとをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート共重合体にスチレンとアクリロニトリルとをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体にスチレンとアクリロニトリルとをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート−無水マレイン酸共重合体にスチレンをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、エチレン−エチルアクリレート−無水マレイン酸共重合体にスチレンとアクリロニトリルとをグラフト重合したグラフト共重合体、

【0040】
変性PPE共重合体と接着性樹脂(高分子相溶化剤を含む)とをブレンドした樹脂組成物から形成された被覆層を単層で用いる場合や、外層として用いる場合には、接着性樹脂の使用割合は、変性PPE樹脂100重量部に対して、好ましくは1〜100重量部、より好ましくは3〜80重量部、特に好ましくは5〜60重量部である。接着性樹脂の使用割合が過小であると、接着性の改善効果が小さく、過大であると、変性PPE樹脂の優れた特性が損なわれ易くなる。
【0041】
他方、接着性樹脂を内層として用いる場合には、接着性樹脂を単独で使用することができるほか、変性PPE樹脂とブレンドして用いる場合には、任意の配合割合で使用することができる。ただし、変性PPE樹脂と接着性樹脂とのブレンド物を内層に使用する場合、変性PPE樹脂の特性を活かすには、接着性樹脂の使用割合を、変性PPE樹脂100重量部に対して、好ましくは1〜100重量部、より好ましくは3〜80重量部、特に好ましくは5〜60重量部の範囲内とすることが望ましい。
【0042】
同様に、ポリスチレン系樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含む樹脂組成物を内層に使用する場合、接着性樹脂は、任意の配合割合で使用することができる。ただし、ポリスチレン系樹脂の特性を活かすには、接着性樹脂の使用割合を、ポリスチレン系樹脂100重量部に対して、好ましくは1〜100重量部、より好ましくは3〜80重量部、特に好ましくは5〜60重量部の範囲内とすることが望ましい。
【0043】
本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線を製造するには、常法に従って、押出被覆成形用の押出機に樹脂材料を供給し、溶融し、加圧する。PC鋼撚り線を押出機に連続的に導入しながら、その外側に溶融・加圧した樹脂材料を押し出して被覆する。本発明において、PC鋼撚り線の「外側」に、樹脂材料からなる防錆被覆層を形成するとは、樹脂材料によって、PC鋼撚り線全体の外周面を被覆する場合だけではなく、それに加えて、芯線と側線との間の隙間(空隙部)をも樹脂材料で充填する場合を含んでいる。
【0044】
PC鋼撚り線は、撚りを広げた状態で押出機内に導入して、樹脂材料が芯線と側線との間の隙間に充填し易くなるようにしてもよい。押出被覆後、被覆PC鋼撚り線は、成形用ダイを通過させて、断面形状を整え、次いで、冷却して樹脂被覆層を固化させる。二層以上の被覆層を形成する場合には、多層押出機を用いるか、複数の押出機を使用する。
【0045】
このようにして、中心の芯線の周囲に複数の側線を撚り合わせた構成のPC鋼撚り線の外側に、合成樹脂から形成された少なくとも一層の防錆被覆層を有する被覆PC鋼撚り線を製造する。樹脂材料は、通常、芯線と側線との間の隙間を充填すると共に、PC鋼撚り線の外周面を全面的に被覆する。
【0046】
本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線の典型的な層構成としては、例えば、(i)変性PPE樹脂から形成された単層構成、(ii)変性PPE樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含有する樹脂組成物から形成された単層構成、(iii)接着性樹脂から形成された内層と、変性PPE樹脂から形成された外層とからなる二層構成、(iv)接着性樹脂から形成された内層と、変性PPE樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含有する樹脂組成物から形成された外層との二層構成、(v)変性PPE樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含有する樹脂組成物から形成された内層と、変性PPE樹脂から形成された外層との二層構成、(VI)ポリスチレン系樹脂と接着性樹脂とを含有する樹脂組成物から形成された内層と、変性PPE樹脂から形成された外層との二層構成などが挙げられる。
【0047】
本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、必ずしも最外層が変性PPE樹脂を含有する熱可塑性樹脂材料から形成された層である必要はなく、必要に応じて、他の樹脂から形成された樹脂層が一層以上付加的に配置されていてもよい。また、前記の如き内層と外層との間に、他の樹脂から形成された一層以上の中間層が配置されていてもよい。多くの場合、経済性や生産性の観点から、被覆層の層構成は、一層または二層とすることが好ましく、それによって、十分な特性を得ることができる。
【0048】
防錆被覆層の厚みは、PC鋼素線やPC鋼撚り線の太さなどによって適宜選択することができるが、通常、200〜2,000μm、好ましくは300〜1,500μm、より好ましくは400〜1,300μm程度である。二層構成の場合、内層(A)と外層(B)との厚み比率(A:B)は、クラウン部(側線の外周面が突出している被覆箇所)において、通常、1:99〜70:30程度である。変性PPE樹脂から形成された被覆層を外層とする場合、その厚みは、好ましくは50μm以上、より好ましくは100μm以上とすることが望ましい。
【0049】
以上に述べた材料及び構造からなる被覆PC鋼撚り線は、全ての樹脂材料が熱可塑性を有するため、熱可塑性樹脂用の押出機を用い、溶融状態にて加圧下に押出被覆加工することが可能であり、被覆層中にピンホールを生じることがなく、また、高線速にて製造することができるため、高い生産性で製造することができる。
【0050】
本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、1NのNaOH水溶液、飽和Ca(OH)2水溶液、及び濃度3mol/LのNaCl水溶液に、それぞれ浸漬する耐薬品性テストにおいて、外観の変化がなく、側圧負荷後の被覆破壊も発生しない。また、本発明の被覆PC鋼撚り線は、被覆層のピンホール発生個数がゼロである。
【0051】
さらに、本発明者らは、被覆PC鋼撚り線の断面形状と耐側面圧縮性との関係についても研究した結果、防錆被覆後の被覆PC鋼撚り線の長手方向に対して垂直の断面形状が円形に近い場合、耐側面圧縮性が最も高くなることを見出した。これは、PC鋼撚り線の「撚り形状」が被覆層の表面に突き出した場合、側面からの圧縮力が撚り線の山と山の接点に集中してしまうため、この部分での被覆層の割れが生じ易いのに対し、円形に近い断面形状の場合は、突出部がないため圧縮力が分散するためであると考えられる。
【0052】
被覆PC鋼撚り線の垂直断面の真円度(実測断面積/外接円面積)は、好ましくは0.94以上、より好ましくは0.95以上とした場合、同じ被覆組成であっても、側圧負荷後の被覆層の割れが顕著に減少することが判明した。このような作用効果は、側圧として負荷する荷重と割れ発生との関係を調べることによって、客観的に評価することができる。断面形状の真円度を0.95以上とすることにより、われ発生荷重を、例えば、好ましくは3.4トン以上、より好ましくは3.5トン以上に増大させることができる。被覆PC鋼撚り線の断面形状を円形に近づけるには、成形用ダイまたは補助ダイとして、開口部が真円状のものを使用する方法がある。
【0053】
【実施例】
以下に実施例及び比較例を挙げて、本発明についてより具体的に説明する。評価方法は、下記の通りである。
(1)耐薬品性:
1N濃度のNaOH水溶液、飽和Ca(OH)2水溶液、及び濃度3mol/LのNaCl水溶液に、それぞれ両端を封止したサンプルを浸漬した。サンプルを各薬品溶液に常温にて6週間浸漬した後、取り出して、目視にて浸漬前後の外観変化を調べた。また、側圧負荷後の被覆破壊の有無も評価した。各種薬品溶液への浸漬品の側圧負荷後の被覆破壊の評価は、側圧に対する被覆破壊耐性と同じ手順で評価した。
【0054】
(2)ピンホール発生頻度:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coated PC steel stranded wire having a rust-proof coating layer made of a synthetic resin, and more specifically, a coated PC steel stranded wire excellent in chemical resistance, pinhole resistance, durability, productivity, and rust resistance. Regarding the line. The coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention is suitable as a tension material for prestressed concrete and a tension material for various structures.
[0002]
[Prior art]
PC steel stranded wire is used as a tension material for prestressed concrete (hereinafter referred to as “PC concrete”). The PC steel stranded wire is obtained by twisting a plurality of PC steel strands, and generally has a configuration in which the periphery of a central core wire is twisted with a plurality of side wires. This PC steel strand is sometimes called “PC strand”.
[0003]
The PC concrete construction method is a construction method in which a compressive force is applied in advance to a place where a tensile load acts by using a PC steel material such as a piano wire as a tension material. In a structure constructed by this construction method, depending on the surrounding environment, water or salt water may enter the concrete and corrode the steel material inside. PC steel stranded wire has a risk of cutting when corrosion progresses in a tension state. Therefore, PC steel strands are required not to be corroded even in an environment in contact with water, salt water or the like. At the same time, the PC steel stranded wire is required to have excellent alkali resistance in order to come into contact with alkali concrete.
[0004]
Therefore, in order to prevent corrosion of the PC steel stranded wire, a method of forming a rust-proof coating layer on the outer side of the PC steel stranded wire using a synthetic resin having excellent chemical resistance has been proposed. The rust-proof coating layer needs to be formed in close contact with the outer surface of the PC steel stranded wire, but in addition to this, the PC steel stranded wire has a gap (void) between the core wire and the side wire. In forming the anticorrosive coating layer, the voids must be filled with a synthetic resin.
[0005]
Conventionally, epoxy resin (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) and thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene (for example, refer to Patent Document 2) are used as the synthetic resin for forming the anticorrosion coating layer of the PC steel stranded wire. It was. However, methods using these synthetic resins are insufficient in productivity, pinhole resistance, durability and the like.
[0006]
The method of forming a rust-proof coating layer for PC steel stranded wire using an epoxy resin is to form a coating layer excellent in alkali resistance, chemical resistance, and water resistance by using an epoxy resin having an appropriate composition. Can do. In addition, when an epoxy resin is used, the rigidity and creep resistance of the epoxy resin itself is high, so even under usage conditions in which a high side pressure is applied to the anticorrosion coating layer for a long time, not only at the initial stage of installation but also after a long period of time. It has the advantage that the coating layer does not break.
[0007]
On the other hand, since an epoxy resin is a thermosetting resin, it must be thermally cured after an uncured epoxy resin is coated on a PC steel stranded wire. However, since an uncured epoxy resin has a low molecular weight and a low melt viscosity, it is difficult or practically impossible to form a coating layer by an extrusion coating method in which the resin is melt-extruded and coated.
[0008]
Therefore, it is necessary to form a coating layer by a method in which an uncured epoxy resin powder is electrostatically coated on a PC steel stranded wire at room temperature and then thermally cured through a heating furnace. However, in this method, if the PC steel stranded wire coated with powder is passed through a long heating furnace at a high speed, the energy cost increases, and if it is slowly passed through a short heating furnace, the wire speed cannot be increased and productivity is increased. There was a problem that became low. Moreover, in the electrostatic coating method of epoxy resin powder, pinholes are easily generated in the coating layer, and variations in coating thickness are likely to occur. If these defective parts are removed or repaired, the productivity further decreases.
[0009]
Polyethylene is excellent in alkali resistance, chemical resistance and water barrier properties. In addition, when a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene is used as the synthetic resin, a coating layer can be formed by an extrusion coating method. Therefore, after extrusion, a coated PC steel stranded wire can be obtained simply by cooling the melt-extruded resin layer. Can do. Therefore, according to the extrusion coating method using a thermoplastic resin, there is an advantage that high productivity is obtained at low energy cost and that pinholes and coating thickness variations hardly occur.
[0010]
However, since polyethylene has insufficient rigidity and is prone to creep, the lateral pressure applied to the resin layer may cause destruction of the coating layer, especially after a long period of time. It is easy to generate. When the coating layer breaks, corrosion of the PC steel stranded wire proceeds from the broken portion. Accordingly, the polyethylene-coated PC steel stranded wire is limited to applications where no side pressure is applied or only a low side pressure is applied.
[0011]
On the other hand, when a polycarbonate resin or a thermoplastic polyester resin is used as the thermoplastic resin, a coated PC steel stranded wire that does not have a coating failure after a side pressure load can be produced, but when exposed to an alkaline environment, The layer is deteriorated and the coating breakage after the side pressure load is likely to occur.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a coated PC steel stranded wire excellent in chemical resistance, pinhole resistance, durability, productivity, and rust prevention. More specifically, the object of the present invention is to prevent the coating layer from being deteriorated even in an alkaline environment or an environment in contact with salt water. An object of the present invention is to provide a coated PC steel stranded wire that is less likely to occur and can efficiently form a coating layer having no pinholes.
[0014]
As a result of diligent research to achieve the above object, the present inventors, as a rust-proof coating layer, It consists of a polymer alloy containing a polyphenylene ether resin in a proportion of 40 to 90% by weight. The present inventors have conceived a coated PC steel stranded wire provided with at least one synthetic resin layer formed of a thermoplastic resin material containing a modified polyphenylene ether resin (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “modified PPE resin”).
[0015]
Since the modified PPE resin is a thermoplastic resin, it is possible to apply an “extrusion coating method” in which a PC steel strand is continuously coated while being melt-extruded. It is possible to produce a coated PC steel stranded wire having a rust-proof coating layer having no rust. Since the modified PPE resin is excellent in rigidity, the coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention is excellent in coating fracture resistance against side pressure. Since the modified PPE resin is excellent in chemical resistance, the coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention is remarkably excellent in the rust prevention effect in an alkaline environment or an environment in contact with salt water.
[0016]
Many of the modified PPE resins do not have sufficient adhesion to metal materials, and the resin alone is insufficient for applications where it is desired that the coating layer and the PC steel strand be firmly bonded. There is a case. In such a case, it is effective to use a modified PPE resin in combination with an adhesive resin. As one of such methods, there is a method of using a resin composition obtained by blending a modified PPE resin and an adhesive resin as the thermoplastic resin material. As another method, a resin composition containing an adhesive resin or a modified PPE resin and an adhesive resin covers the gap between the core wire and the side wire, and the outer surface of the PC steel stranded wire, and further modifies it. The method of forming the layer which consists of a thermoplastic resin material containing PPE resin is mentioned. The adhesive resin has a polar group such as a reactive ethylene copolymer, a reactive styrene copolymer, and a reactive styrene thermoplastic elastomer known as a polymer compatibilizing agent in the technical field of polymer blends. Resins are preferred.
[0017]
Furthermore, in combination with the above method using a modified PPE resin, the cross-sectional shape in the vertical direction of the coated PC steel stranded wire is brought close to a perfect circle shape, and the compressive force from the side surface applied to the anticorrosive coating layer is dispersed to further increase the pressure A coated PC stranded wire that is difficult to cause cracking of the rust-proof coating layer can be obtained even with respect to the side pressure. The present invention has been completed based on these findings.
[0018]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Thus, according to the present invention, a coated PC steel twist having at least one rust-proof coating layer formed from a synthetic resin on the outside of a PC steel stranded wire having a configuration in which a plurality of side wires are twisted around a central core wire. As a rust-proof coating layer, It consists of a polymer alloy containing a polyphenylene ether resin in a proportion of 40 to 90% by weight. There is provided a coated PC steel stranded wire characterized by having at least one synthetic resin layer formed from a thermoplastic resin material containing a modified polyphenylene ether resin.
[0019]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The modified polyphenylene ether resin (“modified PPE resin”) used in the present invention is a polyphenylene ether resin [that is, poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) ether], a polystyrene resin, or a polypropylene resin. , Polymer alloys with other polymers such as polyamide resins, polybutylene terephthalate resins, polyethersulfone resins and elastomers.
[0020]
The modified PPE resin is generally a thermoplastic resin excellent in heat resistance, flame retardancy, dimensional accuracy, rigidity, chemical resistance, weather resistance and the like. The modified PPE resin is particularly excellent in alkali resistance among chemical resistances. For this reason, the coating layer formed from the modified PPE resin is mostly used in an alkaline environment caused by the components of the concrete in applications where it is forced to come into contact with the concrete for a long period of time, such as a PC concrete tension material. There is no deterioration. The modified PPE resin has high rigidity and high resistance to compression. Therefore, when used as a coating layer, the coating layer is prevented from being broken by a side pressure. Since the modified PPE resin also has a performance that hardly causes creeping, the coating thickness does not become thin or the coating layer is not destroyed even if the side pressure is applied for a long period of time. The antirust effect can be maintained.
[0021]
Modified PPE resin is a polymer alloy of polyphenylene ether resin ("PPE resin") and other polymers (modifiers), but other polymers have chemical resistance, weather resistance, rigidity, creep resistance, etc. Polystyrene resins such as polystyrene (PS) or high impact polystyrene (HIPS) are preferred because they are excellent and can easily be made of various grades. A modified PPE resin using a polystyrene-based resin as a modifying agent may be referred to as a “PPE / PS-based” modified PPE resin. Since the PPE resin is completely compatible with polystyrene, the glass transition temperature of the PPE / PS-modified PPE resin changes linearly according to the composition ratio, and the heat resistance can be freely controlled.
[0022]
As the modified PPE resin, a commercially available product having properties suitable for the present invention can be selected and used. Preferred commercially available products include, for example, “Iupiace” (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics, “Noryl” (registered trademark) manufactured by Japan Easy Plastics, “Zylon” (registered trademark) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation, “ PPE / PS modified PPE resin such as “Art Rex” (registered trademark).
[0023]
The modified PPE resin used in the present invention is a polyphenylene ether resin (PPE resin) from the viewpoint of heat resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, rigidity, creep resistance and the like. 4 0-90% by weight Good A polymer alloy containing 60 to 80% by weight is desirable. When the content ratio of the PPE resin is too low, not only the heat resistance becomes insufficient, but the coating layer is easily cracked when the coating layer made of the modified PPE resin receives a lateral pressure. When the content ratio of the PPE resin is too high, the elongation becomes too small, and when the coated PC steel stranded wire is wound around a drum or the like, the coating layer is easily cracked.
[0024]
The coated PC steel strand of the present invention has at least one synthetic resin layer formed from a thermoplastic resin material containing a modified polyphenylene ether resin as a rust-proof coating layer. The thermoplastic resin material may contain a modified PPE resin alone as a resin component. The coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention may be a single layer in which the coating layer is formed from a modified PPE resin.
[0025]
Modified PPE resins generally have poor adhesion to metal materials, and the resin alone may not be sufficient for applications where it is desired that the coating layer and the PC steel strand be firmly bonded. is there. In such a case, it is desirable to employ a method in which the modified PPE resin is used in combination with an adhesive resin.
[0026]
As a method of using an adhesive resin in combination, there is a method of using a resin composition obtained by blending a modified PPE resin and an adhesive resin as a thermoplastic resin material. Other methods of using the adhesive resin in combination include (A1) an adhesive resin, (A2) a resin composition containing a modified polyphenylene ether resin and an adhesive resin, or (A3) a polystyrene resin and an adhesive resin. The inner layer (A) that covers the gap between the core wire and the side wire and the outer surface of the PC steel stranded wire is formed by the resin composition containing the above, and further, the thermoplastic resin containing the modified PPE resin A method of forming the outer layer (B) made of the material can be mentioned.

The reactive polymer compatibilizer used as the adhesive resin is preferably a resin that does not have a bond that undergoes hydrolysis under alkaline conditions. Specifically, it does not have an amide bond or an ester bond in the main chain skeleton. Resins are preferred. If an adhesive resin (polymer compatibilizing agent) that does not have a bond that undergoes alkaline hydrolysis in the main chain skeleton is selectively used, the entire coating layer can be prevented from being attacked by an alkaline environment.

In order to produce the coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention, a resin material is supplied to an extruder for extrusion coating molding, melted, and pressurized in accordance with a conventional method. While continuously introducing the PC steel stranded wire into the extruder, the molten and pressurized resin material is extruded and coated on the outside. In the present invention, the formation of a rust-proof coating layer made of a resin material on the “outside” of a PC steel stranded wire is not only the case where the outer peripheral surface of the entire PC steel stranded wire is covered with the resin material, in addition to that. The case where the gap (gap) between the core wire and the side wire is also filled with the resin material is included.
[0044]
The PC steel stranded wire may be introduced into the extruder in a state where the twist is expanded so that the resin material can be easily filled in the gap between the core wire and the side wire. After the extrusion coating, the coated PC steel stranded wire is passed through a molding die to adjust the cross-sectional shape, and then cooled to solidify the resin coating layer. When two or more coating layers are formed, a multilayer extruder is used or a plurality of extruders are used.
[0045]
In this manner, a coated PC steel stranded wire having at least one rust-proof coating layer formed from a synthetic resin is manufactured outside the PC steel stranded wire having a configuration in which a plurality of side wires are twisted around the central core wire. To do. The resin material normally fills the gap between the core wire and the side wire and covers the entire outer peripheral surface of the PC steel stranded wire.
[0046]
The typical layer structure of the coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention includes, for example, (i) a single layer structure formed from a modified PPE resin, and (ii) a resin composition containing the modified PPE resin and an adhesive resin. A single layer structure formed from (iii) an inner layer formed from an adhesive resin and an outer layer formed from a modified PPE resin, (iv) an inner layer formed from an adhesive resin, and a modified A two-layer configuration with an outer layer formed from a resin composition containing a PPE resin and an adhesive resin, (v) an inner layer formed from a resin composition containing a modified PPE resin and an adhesive resin, and a modified PPE Two-layer structure with outer layer formed from resin, (VI) Two-layer structure with inner layer formed from resin composition containing polystyrene-based resin and adhesive resin, and outer layer formed from modified PPE resin, etc. Is mentioned.
[0047]
The coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention does not necessarily need to be a layer in which the outermost layer is formed from a thermoplastic resin material containing a modified PPE resin, and if necessary, a resin layer formed from another resin One or more layers may be additionally arranged. Further, one or more intermediate layers formed of other resins may be disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer as described above. In many cases, from the viewpoints of economy and productivity, the coating layer preferably has a single layer or two layers, whereby sufficient characteristics can be obtained.
[0048]
The thickness of the rust-proof coating layer can be appropriately selected depending on the thickness of the PC steel strand or PC steel stranded wire, but is usually 200 to 2,000 μm, preferably 300 to 1,500 μm, more preferably 400. It is about ˜1,300 μm. In the case of a two-layer structure, the thickness ratio (A: B) between the inner layer (A) and the outer layer (B) is usually 1:99 to 70: at the crown portion (the covered portion where the outer peripheral surface of the side line protrudes). About 30. When the coating layer formed from the modified PPE resin is used as the outer layer, the thickness is preferably 50 μm or more, more preferably 100 μm or more.
[0049]
The coated PC steel stranded wire composed of the materials and structures described above can be extruded and coated under pressure in a molten state using an extruder for thermoplastic resins because all resin materials have thermoplasticity. This is possible, and pinholes are not generated in the coating layer, and it can be manufactured at a high linear velocity, so that it can be manufactured with high productivity.
[0050]
The coated PC steel strand of the present invention is a 1N NaOH aqueous solution, saturated Ca (OH) 2 In a chemical resistance test immersed in an aqueous solution and a NaCl aqueous solution having a concentration of 3 mol / L, there is no change in appearance, and no coating breakdown occurs after side pressure loading. In the coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention, the number of pinholes generated in the coating layer is zero.
[0051]
Furthermore, the present inventors also studied the relationship between the cross-sectional shape of the coated PC steel stranded wire and the side face compression resistance, and as a result, the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the coated PC steel stranded wire after anticorrosion coating. It was found that the side face compression resistance is the highest when the is nearly circular. This is because, when the “twisted shape” of the PC steel stranded wire protrudes on the surface of the coating layer, the compressive force from the side surface concentrates on the contact point between the ridges of the stranded wire. It is considered that cracks are likely to occur, whereas in the case of a cross-sectional shape close to a circle, the compression force is dispersed because there are no protrusions.
[0052]
When the roundness (measured cross-sectional area / circumscribed circle area) of the vertical cross section of the coated PC steel stranded wire is preferably 0.94 or more, more preferably 0.95 or more, even with the same coating composition, the lateral pressure It was found that cracking of the coating layer after loading was significantly reduced. Such an effect can be objectively evaluated by examining the relationship between the load applied as the side pressure and the occurrence of cracks. By setting the roundness of the cross-sectional shape to 0.95 or more, the crack generation load can be increased to, for example, preferably 3.4 tons or more, and more preferably 3.5 tons or more. In order to make the cross-sectional shape of the coated PC steel stranded wire close to a circle, there is a method of using a round opening as a forming die or auxiliary die.
[0053]

In addition, the presence or absence of coating failure after side pressure loading was also evaluated.

[0056]

Evaluation was performed with the maximum production amount (length) that could be prototyped per minute.
(6) Coating thickness:
The coated PC steel stranded wire was cut in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the thickness of the coating layer in the cross section was measured.

The thickness of the modified PPE resin layer in the covering portion corresponding to the crown portion was about 800 μm, and the thickness of the inner layer was about 10 to 20 μm. By the above method, a coated PC steel stranded wire having the structure shown in FIG. 3 was obtained. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0079]
[Example 16]
A coated PC steel stranded wire having the structure shown in FIG. 3 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 15 except that the roundness of the circular die was finely adjusted. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0080]
[Example 17]
Instead of the circular die, the opening shown in FIG. 4 uses a petal die, except that the ridges of the twisted wire protrude in the cross-sectional shape of the copolymer-coated PC steel strand after passing through the die, In the same manner as in Example 15, a coated PC steel stranded wire having the structure shown in FIG. 5 was obtained. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0081]
[Example 18]
Instead of the circular die, the petal die shown in FIG. 4 was used so that the ridges of the stranded wire protruded from the cross-sectional shape of the copolymer-coated PC steel stranded wire after passing through the die. A coated PC steel stranded wire having the structure shown in FIG. 5 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 17 except that the die extrusion conditions were finely adjusted so that the ridges of the stranded wire protruded slightly larger than the stranded wire. The results are shown in Table 3.

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, a coated PC steel stranded wire excellent in chemical resistance, pinhole resistance, durability, productivity, and rust resistance is provided. In particular, according to the present invention, even in an alkaline environment or an environment in contact with salt water, the coating layer is hardly deteriorated, and even when applied to an application in which a compressive force is applied from the side surface, the coating layer is hardly cracked. Moreover, a coated PC steel stranded wire having a coating layer having no pinhole can be provided with high productivity. The coated PC steel stranded wire of the present invention is suitable as a tension material for prestressed concrete and a tension material for various structures.
