Description

The method for preparing thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead
Technical field
It is more particularly to a kind of to utilize cleaning foaming the present invention relates to a kind of method for preparing thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead The method that gas prepares high magnification thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead.
Background technology
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) had both had the superior elasticity of rubber like, had the processing characteristics of general thermoplastic again. A large amount of bubbles are imported in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) matrix by physical blowing process, the thermoplastic elastomeric foaming material of formation, It has a light weight, soft-touch, and elasticity is high, and permanent compression set is small, clean environment firendly, the features such as reusable edible, can be extensive Applied to footwear material, sports goods, automotive trim, electronic device etc..
Thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead is initially formed by using physical blowing agent, then by steam molding in mould, made Surface of beads welding forms foaming product, solves the problem of more difficult one step foaming of large scale foaming body is molded, is particularly conducive to The large-scale production of thermoplastic elastomer foaming product with complex appearance structure.
It is environmentally harmful instead of CBA and inflammable using the foamed gas such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen of cleaning Other physical blowing agents, make foaming product safe and harmless, foaming process clean environment firendly, neither influence environment, and can meet increasingly Strict laws and regulations requirement, is the developing direction of macromolecule foaming.
Because nitrogen only has relatively low solubility and relatively low diffusion rate in the polymer, therefore use the foaming of nitrogen Technique usually requires high nitrogen pressure, causes the high pressure resistant requirement to equipment higher, and because diffusion rate is slow, take compared with It is long, cause production cost higher, therefore less be applied to bead foam.
Supercritical carbon dioxide has faster diffusion rate and higher solubility in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), is often employed In the bead foam of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).Within the scope of the deformable temperature of thermoplastic elastic material, make overcritical titanium dioxide Carbon dissolution is in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) body, then by quick pressure releasing, triggers nucleation and the growth of bubble, forms thermoplastic elastic Body expanded material.
For the thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead obtained using supercritical carbon dioxide foaming technique, just foaming is formed It is entirely carbon dioxide in bubble.When it is placed in atmosphere, because nitrogen accounts for 78% in air, oxygen is accounted for 21%, cause the presence of the density of carbon dioxide gas gradient inside and outside bubble.Carbon dioxide, which can spread, escapes out expanded bead, and Air can diffuse into bubble, until gas concentration and pressure balance inside and outside bubble.Due to carbon dioxide in the polymer Diffusion rate much larger than the nitrogen of duty gas main component diffusion rate, when gas exchanges start inside and outside bubble, mainly with gas Based on carbon dioxide is outwards escaped in bubble, occur air pressure in the state close to vacuum, bubble in bubble and be less than external air pressure Stage, now static air pressure the thermoplastic expanded bead of flexibility can be made to occur significant volume contraction.As air is to bubble Interior further diffusion, bubble inner pressure power is stepped up until external and internal pressure is equal, and bead volume can obtain part recovery, still Its bubble volume is compared still to be reduced much when expansion is completed, and this process for first shrinking part recovery again, which turns into, to be limited To the major reason compared with high foamability thermoplastic elastomeric foaming material.

It can be seen that the method for preparing thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead provided by the present invention from above-described embodiment The expanded bead product of preparation has higher expansion ratio.
Reason is that the present invention is improved existing supercritical carbon dioxide foaming technology, high by normal temperature first Nitrogen dipping is pressed, nitrogen molecule is dissolved in inside thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) bead before foaming, then again in HTHP Carbon dioxide molecule is dissolved in inside thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) bead under super critical condition, by unexpected pressure release, induce abscess Nucleation and growth, prepare thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead.Described thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead gas when foaming completion It is nitrogen and carbon dioxide gas mixture that bubble is internal.
Described thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead is positioned in air after the completion of foaming, and bubble is inside and outside to occur gas friendship Change, the carbon dioxide in bubble is outwards escaped rapidly.But nitrogen escape rate is low inside bubble and pressure is higher than outside air, It can keep having enough air pressure inside bubble in gas exchange process, to play a part of supporting bubble structure.Can be effective The low caused bubble volume contraction process of the bubble internal pressure present in pure carbon dioxide foam process is avoided, so as to tie up Hold the higher expansion ratio of thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead.
The key of above-mentioned technical proposal is to be to realize inside thermoplastic elastomer foaming bead to be nitrogen and carbon dioxide Mixed gas.Its difficult point is that the diffusion rate and solubility of nitrogen are all relatively low, to be sent out using nitrogen and carbon dioxide mix Bubble gas is foamed, it is necessary to configure high pressure environment, and longer is swelled diffusion time.Titanium dioxide Carbon diffusion is fast simultaneously It is much higher that rate compares nitrogen with solubility, therefore enter inside expanded bead and be mainly carbon dioxide and nitrogen content is few, Deficiency plays a part of maintaining bubble volume.
And the method that the technical program is impregnated using nitrogen normal temperature high voltage solves this technical barrier, normal temperature dipping can be with Nitrogen solubility is effectively improved, nitrogen adsorption amount is improved, and reduces energy consumption and technical difficulty, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is absorbed foot Enough nitrogen is to maintain bubble structure.Impregnation pressure is 5-60MPa, small compared to the simple pressure requirements using nitrogen gas foaming Pressure requirements that are many, being foamed again smaller than carbon dioxide nitrogen mixed gas, therefore high pressure resistant equipment configratioin requirement is low, enters one Step reduces technical difficulty.
Impregnate after nitrogen, then foamed using supercritical carbon dioxide, it is possibility to have effect is avoided in expanded bead bubble The few situation of nitrogen based on portion's carbon dioxide.Make to have enough nitrogen inside expanded bead for supporting bubble structure, While solving inside and outside bubble in gas exchange process that air pressure in bubble is low to cause the bubble volume to reduce problem, higher hair is maintained Multiplying power is steeped, producting process difficulty is reduced, production efficiency is improved, it is easier to Technique Popularizing and industrialization.
