Background technology
Along with the whole world strengthens environmental protection consciousness, additives for plastics has been proposed to higher hygienic requirements, in recent years the new Application Areas of plant oil based softening agent and new oxidation technology (containing two keys) are become to study hotspot.Output sustainable growth in recent years, the consumption of epoxy plasticizer have accounted for softening agent total amount 9-10%, and its consumption is only second to phthalic ester and fatty group dibasic acid in the U.S., account for the 3rd of consumption.At present, the principal item of industrial epoxidized plasticizer comprises: epoxidised soybean oil, epoxidation Oleum Gossypii semen, epoxidation Rice pollard oil, epoxidation sunflower oil.The more kind of foreign study, except the epoxidation soybean oil, mainly also concentrated on the research of epoxidized vegetable oil class, epoxy aliphatic ester class (biofuel) in recent years.
Epoxidized vegetable oil class softening agent is started late in China, and development is slow, mainly take epoxy soybean oil as main.Other kind such as epoxy oleum lini, epoxy cottonseed oil etc. are not well developed, and small scale, dispersion do not form scale output, the automatic control level is low.The throughput of most of factories is at 300t/a~500t/a, and the most of sulfuric acid catalysis production technique of making solvent with benzene, batch production of adopting.Unstable product quality, price is higher, unfavorable expansion market.Thereby Devoting Major Efforts To Developing research epoxidized vegetable oil new variety are answered in softening agent industry, improve level of control, form serialization production, realize economic scale output, reduce costs, to adapt to the needs of plastics industry development.
Softening agent mainly be take adjacent benzene-type products as main for a long time, but along with the application of DOP on food, medicine industry is more and more extensive, people also more and more pay attention to its toxicity.U.S. environment protection general bureau is according to the result of study of National Cancer Institute, stopped the production of 6 kinds of new phthalate industry, DOP is only limited in the food product pack of high water content and uses, and meat Package must substitute with other non-toxic plasticizer product; Switzerland government has determined to ban use of DOP in toy for children; Germany forbids adding DOP in all plastics relevant to human physiology, food; Japan forbids adding DOP in the medicine equipment related products, only limit to apply in the industrial plastic goods.At present, the research and development of non-toxic plasticizer product have been accelerated in the whole world, have accelerated especially the high plastics base application research of hygienic requirements.Development obviously lags behind the needs of producing and living for environment-friendly plasticizer in the world at present, along with scientific and technological progress, some traditional materials may be eliminated, and the novel environment friendly softening agent of researching and developing the advantage such as harmless, inexpensive, that auxiliary agent is effective material as an alternative is key one ring of plasthetics industry development instantly.
At present, the softening agent that China is used, principal item is phthalic ester (butyl ester, monooctyl ester) and epoxy soybean oil, Oleum Gossypii semen is at the aboundresources of China, it obtains epoxy through esterification, epoxidation and does the softening agent use, be subject in recent years extensive attention, the more above-mentioned two kinds of softening agent of its cost are low after deliberation, the more above-mentioned two kinds of softening agent of some index of its performance are superior, and epoxy aliphatic acid methyl ester is compared with epoxy soybean oil, can greatly improve the adding proportion that adds man-hour at the PVC goods, adding proportion can be up to 30%, therefore very big development prospect is arranged.The Oleum Gossypii semen epoxy plasticizer is cold-resistant, fast light heat, and good stability, nontoxic, can be used for the exterior and interior packing of food and medicine, agricultural film, leatheroid, plastic floor, electric heating sheath, light technique film industrial circle.
