A kind of floor heating heating tube of low linear expansion coefficient and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to plastic pipe production technical field, and in particular to a kind of floor heating heating tube of low linear expansion coefficient and
Its preparation method.
Background technology
" Terrestrial ", is using hot water of the temperature not higher than 60 DEG C as heating agent, dark referred to as " floor heating "
It is embedded in the heating tube of below ground and circulates, heat whole floor, by ground to radiate the thermaltransmission mode with convection current
It is wide since the heating system has the advantages that hygienic, comfortable, energy saving, saving space to a kind of heating system of indoor heating
General application.According to People's Republic of China's professional standard《Radiant heating cooling technical regulation》(JGJ142-2012) regulation, is adopted
Floor heating heating tube is mostly plastic pipe, and crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) pipe is a kind of overall plastic tubing of most common of which,
According to National Standard of the People's Republic of China《Hot and cold water crosslinked polyethylene pipe system part 2:Tubing》(GB/
T18992.2-2003 definition), this kind of tubing are divided into peroxide crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X by the difference of crosslinking processa) pipe
Material, organosilane crosslinked polyethylene (PE-Xb) tubing, electron beam crosslinking polyethylene (PE-Xc) tubing and azo crosslinked polyethylene (PE-
Xd) four type of tubing.
Silane crosslinking technology is polyethylene and vinyl silanes is made and can be handed over by graft reaction in screw extruder
The silane grafted polyethylene tubing of connection, then under the action of silanol polycondensation catalyst, hydrolyzes simultaneously polycondensation by it and is made and contains
The crosslinked polyethylene of Si-O-Si cross-bonds, forms a kind of 3 D stereo conformation in microstructure, after crosslinking, and it is resistance to assign tubing
The characteristic of high temperature and pressure.Current organosilane crosslinked polyethylene mainly for the production of cable insulating layer or production hot-water line.
Organosilane crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X at presentb) the more ripe production technology of tubing is generally divided into two-step method and one-step method.
Two-step method is that polyvinyl resin, silane, initiator and antioxidant, catalyst are prepared into two kinds of first, second in an extruder respectively
The masterbatch of component, tubing is made after then two kinds of masterbatch of first, second are mixed in another extruder by a certain percentage, then is carried out
Hydrolytic crosslinking reacts.One-step method is by raw material used such as polyvinyl resin, silane crosslinker, antioxidant, catalyst, peroxide
After compound initiator etc. measures respectively, mixture, heating plasticizing, grafting in an extruder is shaped to the polyethylene pipe of silane scion grafting
Material, then hydrolytic crosslinking.The performance of tubing is identical made from above two technique, but since process route is had any different, equipment
Difference, thus the application range in actual production is also different.Two-step process is since graft polymers and crosslinking being urged
Agent is individually prepared, and two kinds of compounding material have certain shelf-life, are not suitable for long-term storage, while add equipment throwing
Enter, add cost.In contrast, one-step method, because technological process is short, equipment investment is small, large-scale industry metaplasia is more advantageous to
Production.
In floor heating practice of construction, common heating tube outside diameter specification limit is 16mm-25mm, and whole coil pipe material non junction is in
Inflection type or parallel type are secretly embedded in floor, and laying spacing is 10-30cm, and therefore, corner, bending part largely exist, crosslinkable silane
Although it is plastic material to join polyethylene, but after crosslinking, molecular structure changes, than common polythene, deteriorated flexibility,
Elasticity modulus becomes larger, and makes tubing not pliable, and bending resistance is deteriorated, and the degree of cross linking is higher, and this shortcoming is more obvious, is constructing
In, constructional difficulties are easy to cause, if bending radius is too small, bending part " dead folding " can be caused, i.e., space narrows in pipe, influences heat supply
Effect, even results in leakage.Heating tube is buried in cement concrete under floor, and water temperature is generally 35-60 DEG C in pipe, the temperature difference
Scope is larger, if the linear expansion coefficient of tubing is higher, because change in size produces internal stress, then easily causes polygon ground phenomenon
Produce.Engineering practice proves that water temperature is higher, and heating tube is longer, and the temperature deformation of generation is bigger, and the probability for the generation that is cracked is higher.
Therefore, the degree of cross linking of organosilane crosslinked polyethylene heating tube and linear expansion coefficient cannot be excessive, otherwise can influence construction quality, but
Linear expansion coefficient is not all required in current product standard and job specfication, does not also have ceiling restriction to degree of cross linking index.
Chinese patent CN103275274 discloses a kind of single screw extrusion machine One-step production organosilane crosslinked polyethylene hot water
The method of hose, this method are that base polyethylene resin, silane crosslinker, graft initiator, crosslinking catalyst, antioxidant is multiple
Match somebody with somebody, the polyvinyl piping materials being grafted in three-stage single screw extrusion machine, 160-200 DEG C of built-in temperature, production internal diameter 8-
The crosslinked polyethylene hose of 10mm, extruded velocity are more than 40m/min, when successively crosslinking 7-10 is small in medium temperature, high-temperature-hot-water, obtain
To final products.This method does not require draw ratio, it is most likely that make stopping for material using common three-stage extruder
Stay distribution wide, and the complete melting zone relative length of material is shorter, also there are solid conveying section to the defeated of solid-liquid mixing system
The problem such as send efficiency low.Extruded velocity is very big at the same time, although improving production capacity, can bring side effect, i.e., melt is in extruder
In residence time it is too short, influence grafting efficiency.Silane crosslinker addition is excessive in this method, has been up to 5kg, significantly
Cost is added, after silane charge reaches certain value, graft reaction tends to saturation, and cross-linking reaction is very slow, and the degree of cross linking is several
No longer change, therefore cause huge waste.
