Abstract

The invention relates to addition cross-linking silicone rubbers, a method for their production and their use.

Description

Le A 32 532 Addition-crosslinkin~ silicone rubber blends, a process for their preparation and ' their use The present invention relates to addition-crosslinking silicone rubbers, a process for their preparation and their use.
Addition-crosslinking silicone rubbers are distinguished by a broad range of use. This also includes, for example, use as high-voltage insulators, arresters, etc.
For this field of use, it is necessary for the organopolysiloxane elastomers to have high arc resistance and high creep resistance in combination with good mechanical properties.
It is known that the arc resistance and creep resistance are improved by the addition of aluminum dioxides and/or aluminum hydroxides but the mechanical properties are relatively poor. In addition, these materials cannot be processed on injection molding machines, owing to the high viscosity.
DE-A-3 831 478 discloses the use of addition-crosslinking silicone elastomers which may contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in addition to the extender fillers described above. These materials may be crosslinked under platinum catalysis but they have the disadvantage that they do not have a long shelf life in the uncrosslinked state. DE-A-3 048 207 furthermore discloses flameproof materials which also contain magnesium oxide and optionally further additives, such as, for example, Ti02, in addition to hydrated alumina.
However, these materials disadvantageously have a short shelf life and too low a creep resistance.
It was therefore the object of the present invention to provide addition-crosslinking polysiloxane materials which have creep resistance and arc resistance, do not have the disadvantages of the prior art and can be processed by the injection molding technique.
It has now been found that addition-crosslinking organopolysiloxane materials which, in addition to oxidic aluminum compounds, also contain zinc oxide and optionally titanium dioxide have the desired property profile.
The invention therefore relates to addition-crosslinking silicone rubber blends essentially consisting of Le A 32 532 (a) 20 to 40% by weight of at least one linear or branched organopolysiloxane containing alkenyl groups and having a content of 0.0002 to 5% by weight of alkenyl groups with a viscosity of 0.1 to 1000 Pas at 25°C, (b) at least one hydrogensiloxane having at least 3 SiH functions per molecule in an amount such that the molar ratio of SiH groups to the total amount of Si-bonded alkenyl groups is at least 2.0:1, (c) 0.01 to 250 ppm of at least one Pt catalyst and optionally an inhibitor, (d) 35-55% by weight of aluminum hydroxide, alumina and/or mixed oxides/hydroxides thereof, (e) 5 to 25% by weight of at least one, optionally surface-modified filler having a specific surface area of from 150 to 500 m2/g (fj 1 to 5% by weight of at least one metal oxide of zinc having a BET surface area of 30 to 70 m2/g, optionally in combination with 0 to 5% by weight of at least one metal oxide of titanium, having a BET surface area of 35 to 65 m2/g and optionally (g) further auxiliaries, the sum of all components being 100% by weight.
The term organopolysiloxane (a) includes all polysiloxanes used to date in organopolysiloxane materials. It is preferably a siloxane comprising units of the general formula (I) (R)ySiO~a-y>iz in which R denotes a monovalent aliphatic radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and an alkyl radical having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, y is 1.95 to 2.01, and which contains at least 0.0002 to 5% by weight of alkenyl groups.

Le A 32 532 Preferably, (a) is dimethylvinylsilyloxy-terminated.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the organopolysiloxanes (a) according to the invention have viscosities of 0.01 to 1000 Pas, very particularly preferably 10 to 80 Pas.
The viscosities are determined according to DIN 53 019 at 20°C.
In the context of the invention, hydrogensiloxanes (b) are preferably linear, cyclic or branched organopolysiloxanes comprising units of the general formula (II) (Ri)W(H)ZSi0~4_W_Z~i2 (II), in which R1 is a monovalent aliphatic radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, w is0,l,2or3, z is 0, 1 or 2 and the sum w+z is 0, 1, 2 or 3, with the proviso that on average at least 3, preferably 10 to 20, Si-bonded hydrogen atoms are present per molecule.
The hydrogensiloxanes (b) preferably have a viscosity of 0.03 to 1 Pas.
The hydrogensiloxanes (b) may additionally contain organopolysiloxanes whose number of SiH groups is less than 3.
Catalysts (c) for the crosslinking reaction are preferably Pt (0) complexes with alkenyl siloxanes as ligands in catalytic amounts of 0.01 to 250 ppm of Pt.
In the context of the invention, inhibitors are all customary compounds which have been used to date for this purpose. Examples of such preferred inhibitors are e.g.
1,3-divinyl-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3,5,7-tetravinyl-1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasilox-ane, 2-methylbutin-2-of or 1-ethinylcyclohexanol in amounts of 50 to 10,000 ppm.

Le A 32 532 Aluminum hydroxide, alumina and/or the mixed oxides/hydroxides thereof, such as, for example, Al0(OH), are preferably those compounds which have a BET surface area of 3 to 6 m2/g, measured by means of N2 absorption.
In the context of the invention, fillers (e) are preferably reinforcing fillers, such as, for example, pyrogenic silica having a BET surface area between 50 and 400 m2/g, measured by means of N2 absorption, which may also be surface-treated, and/or extender fillers, such as, for example, quartz powder.
The surface treatment may also be carned out in situ by the addition of silazanes, such as hexamethylsilazane and/or divinyltetramethyldisilazane, and vinylalkoxysilanes, such as, for example, vinyltrimethoxysilane, and water or other customary filler loading compositions.
1 S Metal oxides (f) of zinc are preferably those compounds which have a BET
surface area of 45 to 55 m2/g, and oxides of titanium which have a BET surface area of 45 to 55 m2/g, measured by means of N2 absorption.
In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the blend contains further auxiliaries (g), such as color-imparting, inorganic pigments, such as iron oxides or cobalt spinets.
The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the addition-crosslinking silicone rubber blends according to the invention, according to which 1. at least one organopolysiloxane (a), catalyst (c), aluminum hydroxide (d) and metal oxides (f), optionally fillers (e) and/or auxiliaries (g) are mixed and 2, at least one organopolysiloxane (a), at least one hydrogensiloxane (b) and optionally fillers (e) and aluminum hydroxide (d) auxiliaries (g) and/or inhibitor (c) and metal oxides (f) are mixed as a separate mixture, and these two mixtures are combined only in the injection molding machine [lacuna] in an upstream mixing head with subsequent static mixer.
Mixing is preferably effected by means of mixers suitable for high-viscosity materials, such as, for example, kneaders, dissolvers or planetary mixers.
In one embodiment of the process according to the invention, the filler is rendered hydrophobic, the imparting of hydrophobic properties preferably being effected in situ by the addition of hexamethyldisilazane and/or divinyltetramethyldisilazane and water.
In the in situ imparting of hydrophobic properties, preferably organopolysiloxane (a), Le A 32 532 filler (e) and aluminum hydroxide (d) and the water repellent, preferably ' hexamethyldisilazane and/or divinyltetramethyldisilazane, are stirred, preferably at temperatures of 90-100°C for at least 20 minutes in a mixing unit suitable for high-viscosity materials, such as, for example, a kneader, dissolver or planetary mixer, and then freed at Temperatures 150-160 C from excess loading compositions and water, initially at atmospheric pressure and then in vacuo at a pressure of 100 to 20 mbar. The further components (b and f) or (c), (f) and optionally (g) are then mixed in over 10 to 30 minutes.
The invention also relates to the use of the addition-crosslinking silicone rubber blends according to the invention for the preparation of silicone elastomers having creep resistance and arc resistance.
