A kind of method of preparing silane crosslinked polyethylene by room temperature crosslinking
(1) technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of preparing silane crosslinked polyethylene by room temperature crosslinking, especially a kind of method of adding the preparing silane crosslinked polyethylene by room temperature crosslinking that produces aqua.
(2) background technology
Bigger application of organosilane crosslinked polyethylene is preparation CABLE MATERIALS and tubing, early stage organosilane crosslinked polyethylene, as introducing among the Chinese invention patent CN96119846.X, general stranding and Guan Houxu boil 6~12 hours through warm water or steam, or just can finish crosslinked in 15~20 days under field conditions (factors).This will greatly reduce production efficiency, consume a large amount of energy, and increase follow-up equipment and storehouse, cause costing an arm and a leg of organosilane crosslinked polyethylene, be difficult to apply on a large scale.Then have Chinese invention patent CN02151548.4 to introduce a kind of new organosilane crosslinked polyethylene, its composite a kind of stopper is to solve the too early crosslinked and long term storage stability problem of grafted material.In the recent period there is Chinese invention patent CN200310109010.0 to disclose the preparation method of room temperature organosilane crosslinked polyethylene again, improved the crosslinked condition of relative complex, make need originally just to finish under hot water or the steam condition crosslinked, at room temperature place and just can finish in 1~3 day.But last method mainly is suitable for HDPE, and not mentioned cross-linking method; Though the latter can be normal temperature crosslinked, crosslinked required water is to need to come in from extraneous scattering and permeating, certainly will be relevant with product thickness with envrionment conditions, thus make complicated operation, condition be difficult to control and then influence product performance.
(3) summary of the invention
The present invention be for provide a kind of add produce aqua, need not extraneously supply water when crosslinked, the method for easy and simple to handle, preparing silane crosslinked polyethylene by room temperature crosslinking that product performance are good.
For reaching goal of the invention the technical solution used in the present invention be:
A kind of method of preparing silane crosslinked polyethylene by room temperature crosslinking, described method is with grafted material: alkenyl alkoxy silane grafted polyvinyl resin, with catalysing material: contain catalyzer, produce the polyvinyl resin of aqua, with 5~20: 1 mass ratio mixes, carry out crosslinkedly under the room temperature, promptly get described crosslinked polyethylene; The raw materials quality for preparing described grafted material and catalysing material is composed as follows:
Grafted material:
100 parts of polyvinyl resins
0.5~5 part of alkenyl alkoxy silane
0.5~3 part of alkyl trimethoxysilane
0.5~3 part of alkyl titanium oxide inner complex
0.01~2 part of radical initiator
Catalysing material:
100 parts of polyvinyl resins
Produce 0.5~30 part in aqua
1~5 part of crosslinking catalyst.
Described product aqua can be to contain the mixture that high temperature discharges inorganic salt, organic acid and the metal oxide of crystal water, or contain the polymkeric substance that high-temperature polycondensation can produce micromolecular water, specifically can be one of the following or mixture of two or more arbitrary proportion wherein: 1. with the sodium formiate of crystal water, 2. with the sodium-acetate of crystal water, 3. with the SODIUM PHOSPHATE, MONOBASIC of crystal water, 4. stearic acid and zinc oxide composites, 5. terpolycyantoamino-formaldehyde resin.Be preferably terpolycyantoamino-formaldehyde resin.Produce aqua can be in the polymer melt of lesser temps homodisperse and not discharging water, yet mix with certain proportion at grafted material, catalysing material, melt extrude through higher temperature, producing aqua then decomposes or react and produce micro-water and be present in material internal, make the crosslinked infiltration that need not rely on outside water of grafted silane hydrolyzate, and the required water of siloxanes hydrolytie polycondensation can be recycled, and do not need much so produce the consumption of aqua.Produce water that aqua generates except with siloxane reactions, main is the sol-gel transition that alkyl titanium oxide takes place, the in-situ nano particulate of its formation more has strengthening action to organosilane crosslinked polyethylene.Product at ambient temperature, in 48 hours summers, finish crosslinked 120 hours winters substantially, makes described organosilane crosslinked polyethylene.
