Description

Be used for galvanized modified polyacetal
Technical field
The present invention relates to the body modification of polyacetal, it is used to be processed into treats by acid etching and galvanized polyacetal articles, and relate to the polyacetal articles that for example obtains by molding, also relate to when carrying out etching and apply plating liquor, add the polyacetal articles that obtains when in the electrochemical method one or more are electroplated with plating catalyst, no electric metal.The present invention be more particularly directed to obtain galvanized polyacetal articles, it has excellent aesthetic appearance, keeps good plating adhesion and good polyacetal resistance to chemical attack simultaneously.
Background of invention
Polyacetal (being sometimes referred to as Derlin) is a class polyformaldehyde composition, and for example United States Patent (USP) 5,318, is put down in writing in 813,5,344,882 and 5,286,807.Polyacetal resin is especially by E.I.du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, and Delaware, USA is with trade mark
Figure C20048001730300051
Commercialization.
Polyformaldehyde composition (polyacetal) is understood to include the composition based on the multipolymer of the cyclic oligomer of the homopolymer of the cyclic oligomer of formaldehyde or formaldehyde such as trioxane and formaldehyde or formaldehyde usually, the end group of wherein said homopolymer is by esterification or etherified sealed end, described multipolymer has the oxyalkylene group that contains at least two adjacent carbonss in main chain, its end group can hydroxyl stops maybe can be by esterification or etherified sealed end.
Based on relative high molecular, promptly 10,000 to 100, the composition of 000 polyoxymethylene is useful in preparation work in-process and finished product, by any technology of usually thermoplastic material being used, for example compression moulding, injection moulding, extrusion molding, blowing, rotational moulding, melt-spinning, punching press and thermoforming prepare work in-process and finished product.The finished product of based composition manufacturing has very ideal physicals thus, comprises high stiffness, intensity, chemical stability and solvent resistance.
As everyone knows, moulded parts by the polyacetal manufacturing is highly chemically stable and crystalline, it more is difficult to decorate or overmolding than other molding plastic material, and more particularly is difficult to metallization (by vacuum moulding machine), plating (electroless-plating or electrification are electroplated (galvanoplating)) or paint.
Generally speaking, plastics are chemically highly stable, and its moulded parts by manufacturings such as injection mouldings has smooth surface, are difficult to like this decorate its surface by printing, coating, deposition etc., and also are difficult to this surface is processed, and for example adhere to tackiness agent.Because the polyacetal resin surfactivity is low especially, and knownly do not have suitable solvent to have affinity for polyacetal, its finishing and adhesion are difficult to implement in practice, so polyacetal resin needing seldom to be applied to the application of this type of processing.
But the application of plastics is variation recently, and the application of higher category usually requires to satisfy simultaneously a plurality of standards, for example function and outward appearance or function and adhesion property.Therefore for polyacetal, the surface of good processing characteristics becomes more important.
The surface working performance of polyacetal can be improved to a certain extent by handling with acidic solution or oxidizing agent solution.Proposed the acidic solution of tosic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, ammonium acid sulfate etc.,, also proposed chromic acid-sulfuric acid mixture simultaneously as oxidizing agent solution.Improved plating processing also is provided, it be by above-mentioned carry out surface treatment with acid reagent solution before, molded article immersed carries out in quinoline, pyridine or the g-butyrolactone.
The purpose of these processing is to produce uneven surface, and the oxygenizement by solution forms reaction active groups on a part of polyacetal molecule simultaneously.But, if wish effect, will have problems so with this type of step enhanced surface treatment, for example the whole deterioration of polyacetal resin, cause loss of strength, formation crackle or poor surface smoothness.On the other hand, do not handle if use can not cause the condition of polyacetal deterioration, the surface-treated effect is tended to deficiency, and can not implement surface of good processing.
When handling polyacetal articles so that improving their surface working performance, make in the surface irregularity in control activation tendency with via chemical modification, and selecting to run into a large amount of problems in the polyacetal composition by the method that keeps its initial ensemble performance.High scrap rate has proved the difficulty of handling the polyacetal resin surface, particularly when the molded component with complexity immerses the poor adhesion of acidic solution or coating.Coating is represented lip-deep modification of the acid etching of paint molded polyacetal articles or functional layer.The most important thing is, wish to reach the good adhesion and the excellent surperficial aesthetic appearance of coating.
Make the record of the metallized difficult problem of polyacetal articles for example in GB-A 2 091 274, it proposes a kind of surface preparation by acid etching, for example uses the mixture of 30-60wt% sulfuric acid, 5-30wt% hydrochloric acid and 65-10wt% water; Perhaps use the mixture of 20-50wt% sulfuric acid, 30-50wt% phosphoric acid and 50-0wt% water.Also imagined the mixture of organic acid and mineral acid.After the acid etching, goods are immersed in the neutralization solution, prime, by cathode sputtering metallization and with the finish paint paint of acroleic acid polyurethane paint or acrylate paint systems with high concentrations of toluene diisocyanate.
French Patent specification sheets FR-A-2,703,074 surface preparation of having put down in writing polyacetal articles is used to electroplate to prepare them, undertaken by the mixed acid bath etching with sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid, wherein mixed acid bath contains 30vol% sulfuric acid (96/98% purity), 20vol% phosphoric acid (85% purity), 5vol% hydrochloric acid (35/37% purity) and 45vol% water.This processing has obtained certain small-scale success for the plating by the goods of Copolyacetal manufacturing, but its enforcement on technical scale and unsatisfactory.
United States Patent (USP) 4,826,565 disclose by with the acidic solution etching polyacetal articles of molding being carried out surface roughening.It has discussed surface roughening process, comprises the material that interpolation can be dissolved in polyacetal resin in the acid etching process, for example metal carbonate.These methods of delivering provide required surface working performance, but for obtaining having the product of excellent surface characteristic, need carry out improved technology controlling and process to etching condition.In addition, the ability of etching solution can reduce in time, and etching solution is contaminated, has reduced the adhesion to goods of the surface working performance of polyacetal articles and electrolytic coating like this.United States Patent (USP) 4,826,565 suggestions are by comprising that in etching solution additive alleviates these problems, particularly thiocarbamide.In the mixed acid bath of forming by the mixture of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, have and do not add thiocarbamide, following polyacetal resin to be tested, it contains 3wt%, and granularity is the lime carbonate of 0.01 μ to 20 μ.Find to add thiocarbamide and can produce improvement.Except explanation can comprise typical additives, do not provide the concrete details of this polyacetal resin.
Although have some difficulties so far, be starved of polyacetal articles, especially for the polyacetal articles of appearance very important use, carry out surface treatment, the plating outward appearance that keeps the good physical-mechanical property of polyacetal simultaneously and have improvement.A kind of special application is the gold-plated sealing cover that is used for scent flask, because the outstanding mechanical property of polyacetal, promptly the stiffness of polyacetal and toughness and, compare with amorphous polymer, for the excellent chemical of alcohol, polyacetal is preferred with respect to other plastics especially for it.But, be used for the good gold-plated modification face of sealing cover needs of scent flask, keep good chemerosiveness resistent and good coating to adhere to simultaneously, this is unapproachable.
As mentioned above, in the plating of the polyacetal resin product of melt-processed, exist many problems to overcome now.Especially, also can not produce a kind of high-quality perfume lid of making by gold-plated polyacetal so far.As an alternative, used related other galvanized amorphous polymer such as the polyolefine inserts.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of polyacetal mixture, be used to be processed into and treat by acid etching and galvanized polyacetal articles, can on the acetal product surface of molding, produce highdensity hole/hole thus, so that for the deposition of electroplating metal level in the course of processing provides excellent mechanical set, the result provides the final adhesivity of excellent metal level and the surface with excellent aesthetic appearance.Hole/hole produces via selected chemical milling, and the solubility in acid mineral filler dissolving in etching process in the polyacetal stays the hole/hole with well-controlled distribution of sizes.What play a decisive role for this point is the size of etching solution, hole (zone that is covered by hole) and the discrete form of density and hole (uniformly).If etching is too serious, produce highdensity macroscopic void thus, if perhaps particulate is oversize, simultaneously discrete form difference and size-grade distribution are wide, form unacceptable surface so, when electroplating, will display surface aesthetic property difference and/or adhesivity a little less than.Therefore challenge is that abundant etching is carried out on the surface, so that form mechanical fixation point for producing competent adhesivity, can not damage appearance simultaneously.

Describe in detail
The invention provides the polyacetal mixture, be used to be processed into by acid etching and galvanized polyacetal articles, produce have excellent visual appearance grade, in conjunction with the plating polyacetal articles of good adhesion and the good physical-mechanical property that keeps.
The present invention relates to some polyacetal composition, it carries out etching by mixed acid bath in melt-processed (for example by injection moulding) afterwards, described mixed acid bath contains at least three kinds of acid, be selected from sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid and organic acid, and preferably contain four kinds of acid, be sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid and acetate.This polyacetal composition contains a spot of functional modifier (as described below), and it helps to keep electroplating the good appearance of polyacetal and the physicals that keeps polyacetal.
Elaborate very much as following, the electroplating technology that uses resin combination of the present invention, surface treatment and apply obtains required high-performance (good adhesivity, stiffness, toughness and surface aesthetic).
Polyacetal
Term " polyacetal " comprises the homopolymer of the cyclic oligomer of formaldehyde or formaldehyde as used herein, its end group is by esterification or etherified sealed end, and the cyclic oligomer of formaldehyde or formaldehyde and other monomeric multipolymer, described other monomer is created on the oxyalkylene group that has at least two adjacent carbonss in the main chain, the end group of described multipolymer can be hydroxy-end capped maybe can be by esterification or etherified sealed end.
The polyacetal that is used for the present composition can be branching or line style, its number-average molecular weight is generally 10,000 to 100,000, preferred 20,000 to 75,000.Molecular weight can be used gel permeation chromatography, and 160 ℃ are used down that to have the nominal pore size be 60 and 100 in meta-cresol
Figure C20048001730300101
DuPont PSM bimodal column equipment measure easily.According to required physics and processing characteristics, though can use polyacetal with higher or lower molecular-weight average, but above-mentioned polyacetal molecular-weight average has guaranteed that various component melts are mixed into the well blend of composition, and has the comprehensive physicals that needs most at the moulded parts of based composition manufacturing thus.
As noted above, polyacetal can be homopolymer, multipolymer or its mixture.Multipolymer can contain one or more comonomers, and for example those are generally used for preparing the comonomer of polyacetal composition.More generally the comonomer of the Shi Yonging alkylene oxide that comprises 2-12 carbon atom with and with the cyclic addition product of formaldehyde.The quantity of comonomer will be not more than 20wt%, preferably be not more than 15wt%, most preferably be about 2wt%.Most preferred comonomer is an oxyethane.Usually polyacetal homopolymer is better than multipolymer, because the stiffness of homopolymer and intensity are bigger.Preferred polyacetal homopolymer comprises that those its terminal hydroxy groups form ester or ether group respectively by chemical reaction, is preferably formed acetate groups or methoxyl group, and end capped homopolymer.
Polyacetal is usually at about 170 ℃-260 ℃, and preferred 185 ℃-240 ℃, 200 ℃-230 ℃ melt temperature melt-processed most preferably.
Functional modifier
Have now found that polyacetal can be mixed with composition, have the electrodepositable and the good physical-mechanical property that keeps of improvement.We recognize according to the performance that keeps, for example when under according to the stretching of ISO527/1-2 or when under Impact Test, testing according to ISO179/1eA, compare with unmodified and/or untreated molding polyacetal parts, the deterioration of physical-mechanical property is insignificant.
" functional modifier " of polyacetal or " stablizer " are a kind of hypocrystalline or the non-polyacetal resin of unbodied thermoplasticity, generally include at least a nitrogenous organic materials, and are generally polymeric amide.This at least a hypocrystalline or unbodied non-acetal thermoplastic polymer can be selected from those in extrusion molding and injection moulding processing, usually the thermoplastic polymer that uses or be used in combination with other separately.These polymkeric substance are well known to a person skilled in the art, as extrusion molding and injection moulding grade resin, it is different from those known resins that is used as a small amount of component (being processing aid, impact modifying agent, stablizer) in polymer composition.
For key of the present invention be that the polyacetal mixture comprises about 0.1 to 3wt%'s but at least a non-acetal thermoplastic polymer that is no more than, but preferred 0.5 to 2wt% at least a non-acetal thermoplastic polymer.More substantial non-polyacetal thermoplastic polymer causes the larger size distribution of etching polyacetal articles mesoporosity, and therefore causes appearance poor in plated item.
The functional modifier that contains hydroxyl, carbonyl, methacrylic ester, acid amides and/or amido and/or its combination is a fusile under the temperature of processing polyacetal.Term " fusible " represents that the combination of this functional modifier or difference in functionality properties-correcting agent has a main fusing point that is lower than the polyacetal melt processing temperature, thus under this processing temperature, it is liquid and preferably has low viscosity and present significant melt flow.Though the surface enrichment of said " low melting point-low viscosity " functional modifier may be described hardly in quantity, but it is believed that the latter will move to the surface in the molding course of processing, there is functional group's (for example measure by ESCA and confirm) down a bit in it on the so-called top layer microtexture of the polyacetal parts of processing or just thus.In addition, by adding these " low melting point-low viscosity " functional modifiers, in being with or without the acid etching process of oxidizing solution, the minimizing of breaking.Seemingly, when above-mentioned functions properties-correcting agent added prescription, internal stress or unrelieved stress partly discharged, for the polyacetal parts of processing provide the enhanced mechanical property.
For example, have the degree of crystallinity that low-melting relatively polymeric amide keeps certain level, but its low viscosity, high polarity and hydrogen bond make them can be used for purpose of the present invention.Polyolefine, preferred polar copolymer and terpolymer such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and ethylene-propylene acid butyl ester-carbon monoxide terpolymer (EBACO) have been proved the surface adhesion that improves between polyoxymethylene base material and the various surface treatment agent useful.Also can use fusing point to be near or below the semicrystalline polyester of polyacetal fusing point, for example pla-pcl.Can non-acetal thermoplastic polymer be introduced composition with a kind of thermoplastic polymer or with blend more than a kind of thermoplastic polymer.The blend of thermoplastic polymer can be used for adjusting function, for example the consistency of toughness or main resin and polyoxymethylene.But preferred substrates comprises a kind of other or alternate polymkeric substance, for example amorphous thermoplastic polymers or semi-crystalline polymer.
No matter introduce or to introduce more than a kind of blend, the wt% of all non-acetal thermoplastic polymers of composition should not exceed the above wt% scope that provides with a kind of thermoplastic polymer.
Term " thermoplasticity " should be represented when being heated, but polymkeric substance softens to flow state, it can be forced or shift to enter cooling die from the heating die cavity under pressure, and when cooling off in this mould, the polymkeric substance sclerosis also presents mold shape.Thermoplastic polymer is definition in " plastics and elastomerics handbook " (Handbook of Plastics and Elastomers) (being published by McGraw-Hill) so.
Term " amorphous " should represent that polymkeric substance does not have crystalline melt point clearly, does not also have measurable melting heat (though along with cooling off very slowly from melt, perhaps annealing fully can improve certain degree of crystallinity).Melting heat is measured on differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) easily.Appropriate vol heat is counted 990 thermal analyzers of DuPont company, and parts number is 990000, has cell base II, and parts number is 990315, and the DSC cell, and parts number is 900600.For this tester, can measure melting heat with the heating rate of 20 ℃ of per minutes.Sample by alternately be heated to above the expection fusing point temperature and by cooling off fast with cooled with liquid nitrogen sample chuck.The melting heat of measuring the arbitrary heating period after first cycle should be the steady state value in the experimental error scope.According to this method, be less than 1cal/g in this melting heat of determining amorphous polymer.As a reference, molecular weight is that the melting heat of about 17,000 semicrystalline nylons 66 polymeric amide is about 16cal/g.
Useful thermoplastic polymer should be a melt-processable under the temperature of molten polyformaldehyde processing in the present composition.Polyoxymethylene is usually at about 170 ℃-260 ℃, and preferred 185 ℃-240 ℃, melt-processed under 200 ℃-230 ℃ the melt temperature most preferably.
Term " melt-processable " should represent that thermoplastic polymer should soften or have sufficient flowability, and it can be used for melt compounded under the particular melt processing temperature of polyoxymethylene like this.
Require the minimum molecular weight (1000) of thermoplastic polymer so that guarantee consistency, thermostability and keep mechanical property via the entanglement of chain, condition is that the polymerization degree of polymkeric substance is at least ten, and other condition is that polymkeric substance is (promptly in the pressure current downflow) of melt-processable under the temperature of melt-processed polyoxymethylene.The maximum molecular weight of thermoplastic polymer should be so not high so that thermoplastic polymer self can not carry out injection moulding according to the existing standard technology.The maximum molecular weight (50,000) that is used for the polymkeric substance of injection moulding processing will change with every kind of independent, specific thermoplastic polymer.But the described maximum molecular weight that is used for injection moulding processing is that those skilled in the art can understand easily.
At this useful amorphous or hypocrystalline polyamide thermoplastic is well known in the art.They are recorded in United States Patent (USP) 4,410, in 661.Especially, these amorphous or hypocrystalline polyamide thermoplastics are by the aromatic dicarboxylic acid of at least a 8-18 of a containing carbon atom and at least aly be selected from following diamines and obtain, described diamines comprises: (i) the positive structure aliphatics straight diamine of 2-12 carbon, the (ii) branching aliphatie diamine of 4-18 carbon, the (iii) alicyclic diamine that contains at least one alicyclic preferred cyclohexyl structure part of 8-20 carbon, and it is wherein optional, the polymeric amide of 50wt% can be by lactan that contains 4-12 carbon atom certainly or omega-amino acid at the most, or the unit composition that obtains of the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid that contains 4-12 carbon atom certainly and the polysalt that contains the aliphatie diamine of 2-12 carbon atom.
Term " aromatic dicarboxylic acid " should represent that carboxyl is directly connected to for example aromatic ring of phenylene, naphthalene etc.
Term " aliphatie diamine " should represent that amido is connected to for example chain that contains non-aromatic group of alkylidene group.
Term " alicyclic diamine " should represent that amido is connected to the alicyclic ring of being made up of 3-15 carbon atom.The alicyclic ring of 6 or 12 carbon is preferred.

Amorphous or hypocrystalline polyamide thermoplastic is moored less than 50,000 200 ℃ of demonstrations, preferably less than 20,000 melt viscosities of mooring, in 105 dynes per centimeter 2Shear-stress under record.Amorphous or semicrystalline polyamides is commercially available or can prepares by above-mentioned proportion of composing with the known polymer method of condensing.In order to form superpolymer, the integral molar quantity of the diacid of use should be approximately equal to the integral molar quantity of the diamines of use.
In addition, free dicarboxylic acid, its derivative as acyl chlorides, can be used for preparing polyamide thermoplastic.
The polymerization for preparing amorphous or hypocrystalline polyamide thermoplastic can be carried out according to known polymerization technique, for example melt polymerization, solution polymerization and interfacial polymerization technology, but preferably implement polymerization according to melt polymerization method.This method produces has the high-molecular weight polymeric amide.In polymerization, be equimolal amount hybrid diamine and acid or cyclic amide basically in diamine components and dicarboxylic acid component's ratio.In melt polymerization, be higher than the polymeric amide fusing point that obtains but be lower than heat contents under the temperature of its degradation temperature.Heating temperature is about 170 ℃ to 300 ℃.Pressure can arrive 300psi (approximately 2MPa) for vacuum.The method that adds initial monomers is not crucial.For example, can preparation and hybrid diamine and sour bonded salt.Same possible is the mixture that disperses diamines in water, at high temperature adds the mixture of the acid of specified amount in this dispersion, forms the mixture solution of nylon salt, makes this solution carry out polymerization then.
If desired, can in the mixture of initial salt or its aqueous solution, add unit price amine or preferred organic acid as viscosity modifier.
