A kind of light weight wear-resisting thermoplastic elastomer foaming sole material
(1) technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of material for sole of shoe, especially a kind of thermoplastic elastomer foaming sole material that adds α-Jia Jibenyixigongjuwu and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE).
(2) background technology
Along with the progress of development of science and technology and society, people's standard of living improves constantly, and improves the quality and the performance of all kinds of shoes, allow the wearer more safety and comfort be the ultimate aim and the direction of the development of whole shoe-making industry.According to the literature, every increase by 100 grams of shoes weight, wearer's physical consumption will increase by 1%.In order to reduce physical consumption, to improve snugness of fit, the light weight foam material has become the main direction that material for sole of shoe is developed.
The material that is applicable to sole has rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, plastics etc., wherein adopt the sole of elastomeric material preparation to have advantages such as excellent in abrasion resistance, yet its manufacturing procedure is many, and the waste material of generation can't be recycled; Advantages such as that thermoplastic elastomer has is easy to process, technology is simple, waste material is recyclable, therefore the thermoplastic elastic material application based on styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) is very extensive.Have good low-temperature, significant elasticity and anti-skid, can not cause advantages such as pin is smelly, and scrap stock can recycle, be the ideal material for sole of shoe.
Yet popular SBS sole mostly is the solid end (density is generally at 1.0g/cm in the market
3About) and (density is at 0.8g/cm to hang down the foaming end
3More than), otherwise its physicals especially wear resisting property severe exacerbation is difficult to reach national footwear with the wear resisting property requirement of stipulating in the outer bottom product standard.The good height foaming SBS material of preparation wear resistance can alleviate product weight, economical with materials, the lifting competitiveness of product in market.
Interim at CN1377905A and " elastomerics " 2002 the 12nd volumes the 3rd, people such as Wu Zhiyong and Liang Hongwen provides invention and the research that SBS (model YH-788) is foamed, in SBS, add Zinic stearas, zinc oxide, polystyrene (PS), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), naphthenic oil, lime carbonate and Cellmic C 121 (AC) whipping agent etc., be higher than at die head temperature under 180 ℃ the condition and prepare foamed shoe sole, its concrete prescription is as follows:
Prescription 15 parts of 65 parts of 1:SBS, PS, 5 parts of EVA, 15 parts of naphthenic oils, 1.2 parts of AC, 0.8 part of Zinic stearas, 1.2 parts in zinc oxide.
Prescription 15 parts of 65 parts of 2:SBS, PS, 15 parts of EVA, 15 parts of naphthenic oils, 5 parts in lime carbonate, 1.2 parts of AC, 0.8 part of Zinic stearas, 1.2 parts in zinc oxide.
The foaming sole material density that adopts above-mentioned prescription 1 and 2 to prepare respectively is respectively 0.66g/cm
3, 0.78g/cm
3Appoint Xiang in CN1161984A, to provide thermoplastic foaming composition to reach and prepare the method for sole with it, the vinylbenzene matrix high molecular elasticity triblock copolymer of employing anionoid polymerization, PS, activation azodicarbonamide whipping agent etc. are main raw material, and the density of material of preparation is 0.69g/cm
3Yang Fanwen and Dai Lizong etc. provide thermoplastic elastomer foaming material and preparation method thereof in CN1544523A, its composition (mass ratio) is: 40 parts of 100 parts of SBS, PS, 20 parts of EMA, 40 parts of naphthenic oils, 4.0 parts of DNA, 1.0 parts of foam nucleators, 15 parts in lime carbonate, 2.0 parts of Zinic stearass, 0.5 part in oxidation inhibitor.Adopt above-mentioned ratio of components weighing, carry out blend, granulation in screw extrusion press, adopting forcing machine injection molding then is sheet material, and the density of material of preparation is 0.60g/cm
3
In addition, the preparation about super wear resistance SBS material for sole of shoe also has report.Yang Fanwen provides a kind of preparation method of super wear-resisting SBS material for sole of shoe in CN1454928.Its composition (mass ratio) is: 25 parts of 100 parts of SBS, PS, 5 parts in lime carbonate, 0 part of silica 1,15 parts of naphthenic oils, 50 parts of UHMWPE, 2.0 parts of Zinic stearass, 3.5 parts of antioxidant 1076s, 10104.5 parts of thermo-stabilizers, 3.5 parts of photostabilizers, AC whipping agent 1.0.By the said ratio weighing, the employing mixing machine goes out to carry out blend, granulation, drying, injection moulding machine injection molding then in machine or the Banbury mixer at the screw rod machine after being pre-mixed evenly.Prepared sole wear resisting property test result is polishing scratch length 5.3mm.
There are following deficiency in foregoing invention and research: 1) about the research of light weight SBS foam material, the least density of foam material is 0.60g/cm
3, so big proportion has limited its range of application.As the end in slippers and sandal sole, the sports shoes and the interior end.2) about the research of super wear-resisting SBS material for sole of shoe,, in system, introduced too much UHMWPE (50 parts), can reduce SBS foam material " feel " like this in order to improve its wear resisting property.3) above-mentioned research has unicity, the tool light weight, does not wear-resistingly appear in the newspapers for the SBS foam material of one.
(3) summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the shortcoming of existing SBS foam material, aim to provide a kind of light weight, wear resisting property is good, production cost is low, the thermoplastic elastic body shoe bottom material of environmental protection, save energy and preparation method thereof.

Embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 add high foaming resin additive α-Jia Jibenyixigongjuwu more as can be known in the SBS foaming system, can increase substantially the expansion ratio of SBS, and density obviously reduces (from 0.40g/cm
3Be reduced to 0.21g/cm
3).Yet the decline of foam material density causes its wear resisting property severe exacerbation (polishing scratch length is from 9.4mm to 12.7mm).
In order to improve the wear resisting property of material, add high molecular abrasion-proof properties-correcting agent UHMWPE, and adopt two kinds of complete processings to prepare foam material.Can find out with embodiment 4 by comparing embodiment 3, compare, with the easier foam material that obtains the high physicals of high foaming of two-step approach with single stage method.Embodiment 5 and embodiment 1 more as can be seen, by introducing high frothing aid α-Jia Jibenyixigongjuwu and wear-resisting properties-correcting agent UHMWPE simultaneously, (density only is 0.30g/cm to adopt two-step approach to prepare light weight
3), the thermoplastic elastomer foaming material for shoes of wear resisting property good (polishing scratch length 8.2mm), this foam material can be used in slippers and sandal sole, the sports shoes at the end and footwear the end etc.Embodiment 6 prepared material wear-resistant performance excellences (polishing scratch length 5.2mm), its density only is 0.49g/cm
3Under this density, the wear resisting property of this material has reached the wear resisting property (polishing scratch length is less than 7mm) at the bottom of rubber soles and the polyurethane shoe, and price is starkly lower than rubber and polyurethane material, and alternative rubber and polyurethane material are made sole, and its cost performance is higher than rubber and polyurethane material.
Advantage of the present invention is that the wear resisting property of material is significantly improved than general T PR material for sole of shoe, and the density of foam material is well below existing TPR sole simultaneously.This invention prepared light weight, wear-resisting, production cost is low, the thermoplastic elastic body shoe bottom material of recyclable utilization, save energy.
The used starting material of the present invention are commercial prod.The styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) that the present invention adopts is that petrochemical complex limited-liability company Beijing, Beijing Yanshan Mountain branch office produces, and the trade mark is SBS4402.In addition, the trades mark such as strange U.S. 5302 produced of the YH-788 that produces of Yueyang general petrochemicals factory and Taiwan Qi Mei company also are applicable to the preparation of this material.
