Description

Warping-resistant TPO artificial leather and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a warpage-resistant thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer (also called TPO) artificial leather, and a method for manufacturing the TPO artificial leather, and uses of the TPO artificial leather.
Background
TPO can be widely used in automobile interior as skin, and has the advantages of environmental protection, no halogen and no plasticizer compared with the interior material of traditional polyvinyl chloride. TPO artificial leather is generally formed by compounding a TPO skin layer and a sponge layer.
Various methods have been disclosed in the prior art to improve TPO automotive interior materials. For example, CN107351495A discloses a multicolor TPO automotive interior material, which comprises, from bottom to top, a polyolefin sponge layer, a multicolor TPO skin layer and an aqueous polyurethane coating, wherein the skin layer is formed by compositely splicing at least two single-color TPO skins, and each single-color TPO skin comprises 20-40 parts by weight of high-density polyethylene, 20-40 parts by weight of polypropylene, 5-10 parts by weight of ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, 30-50 parts by weight of ethylene propylene diene monomer, and the like. CN106380819A discloses a super-soft TPO material, which comprises a matrix layer, a sponge layer, a TPO skin layer and a paint layer from bottom to top, wherein the TPO skin layer comprises 25-45 parts by weight of thermoplastic elastomer, 10-20 parts by weight of polyolefin, 25-40 parts by weight of tackifying resin, 1-5 parts by weight of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, 8-15 parts by weight of foaming agent and the like.
Need be in the same place TPO synthetic leather and skeleton laminating in automotive interior field, at this laminating in-process, the processing mode that is most used at present has vacuum forming, female die shaping and three kinds of processing techniques of low pressure injection moulding. In vacuum forming, the artificial leather with leather grains is preheated, and then is subjected to vacuum adsorption, so that the side with patterns back to the framework is subjected to thermal compounding with the framework, and the interior trim part with a multilayer structure is obtained. The product patterns obtained by the method often have certain loss. In the female die forming, the artificial leather without dermatoglyph is preheated and then is absorbed on a die with reverse patterns through vacuum, after the die with the framework at the other end is closed, the pressure is maintained for a certain time, then the upper die and the lower die are separated, and the compounded part is taken out. The method has high requirement on the tensile property of the surface skin, the investment cost of the die is high, and the process is relatively complex. In the low-pressure injection molding, the artificial leather with the existing leather grains is placed in an injection mold, and then the molten framework material is combined with the surface skin through the low-pressure injection molding to form the automotive interior part with the multilayer structure. The combined action of stretching and melt material extrusion on artificial leather can cause the problems of seeping materials, perforation, wrinkles, uneven skin lines and the like.
The three forming methods of vacuum forming, female die forming and low-pressure injection molding all require that the artificial leather material is fed by a coiled material or a sheet material, the formed parts contain a large amount of leftover materials and need to be cut off, and the material utilization rate is low.
On the basis, a new process using an accurate trimming and film covering technology is newly developed. The technology level of pressure laminating and edge covering is improved by an accurate edge cutting laminating technology (ESL). The accurate trimming and laminating process uses the fabric which is accurately cut and matched with the geometric figure of the finished product part, the accurate covering of the fabric on a grinding tool in the pressure laminating process is realized through a servo-controlled gripper system, and then the automatic edge covering process is directly completed at one time. The ESL technology has the advantages that the waste of the fabric is reduced through an optimal fabric cutting method, and therefore the epidermis can be used at the maximum utilization rate, the utilization rate exceeds 95%, and the utilization rate of the epidermis in the three methods is less than 80%; can meet increasing quality requirements, such as limiting the stretching of the particles; and labor cost is reduced by integrating processing flows. The ESL process has high requirements on the heated forming of materials, requires the materials to have good thermal stability, and has no problems of shrinkage, warping and the like during heating.
However, existing conventional TPO materials have drawbacks in terms of hot processing. The TPO artificial leather becomes warped after the hot melt adhesive is coated for bonding the skeleton. Warped TPO leather cannot be used for compounding because it curls at the part corners. Therefore, the existing TPO material is not suitable for the precise trimming and laminating technology. In order to be applied to a technique of processing favorable accurate trimming and coating, TPO artificial leather needs to be further improved.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the above prior art, the present invention aims to provide a TPO artificial leather resistant to warping, which does not have the problems of shrinkage, warping, etc. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a warp-resistant TPO artificial leather. Finally, the present invention aims to provide the use of such a TPO artificial leather resistant to warping.
In order to achieve the above technical objects, the present invention provides a warp-resistant TPO artificial leather comprising a TPO skin layer and a sponge layer, wherein,
the TPO skin layer comprises polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE) and elastomer, and contains 30-40 parts by weight of PP, 30-40 parts by weight of PE and 20-40 parts by weight of elastomer based on 100 parts by weight of the total weight of PP, PE and elastomer in the skin layer;
the sponge layer comprises > 90 parts by weight of PP and 3-5 parts by weight of a foaming agent, based on 100 parts by weight of the total sponge layer,
the TPO artificial leather has the warping degree of less than or equal to 1cm at normal temperature and less than or equal to 2cm after being heated at 120 ℃ for 10 min.
The PP in the TPO skin layer is preferably an extrusion/calendering type PP, which is used primarily to improve the heat resistance of the TPO skin layer. When the PP content is too high (more than 40 parts by weight), the skin layer of the TPO tends to be too hard, and the soft touch of the skin is lost. PE in the skin layer of TPO is mainly used to improve the strength and feel of the material. When the PE content is too high (more than 40 parts by weight), the heat resistance of the TPO skin layer is lowered.
An index that can clearly characterize the warpage resistance of a material is the warpage of the material. Here, warpage is defined as: the vertical distance between the highest point of warpage and the horizontal plane when a sample block with dimensions of 10cm x 10cm is laid on the horizontal plane. Compared with the conventional TPO artificial leather, the TPO artificial leather has low normal temperature and high temperature warping degree, specifically has the warping degree less than or equal to 1cm at normal temperature and has the warping degree less than or equal to 2cm after 10min at 120 ℃.
In order to improve the warpage resistance of TPO artificial leather, one of the keys in the present invention is: the content of PP, PE in the TPO skin is higher than conventional, while the content of elastomer is as low as possible.
Preferably, the TPO skin layer comprises 20 to 25 parts by weight of elastomer, based on 100 parts by weight of the combined weight of PP, PE and elastomer in the skin layer.
To improve the warpage resistance, elastomers in the TPO skin layer are required to be not too elastic and not easily deformable upon heating. In this regard, polyolefin elastomers (POE) are not used as the elastomer in the skin layer of the TPO of this invention because POE has a generally low melting point and the raw materials tend to agglomerate, resulting in a finished product that has poor thermal stability and pattern retention and tends to stick to the mold. Elastomers that can be used in the skin layers of the TPO of this invention are, for example: SBES (styrene block copolymer), TPS (thermoplastic styrene), TPV (thermoplastic vulcanizate), and the like.
Preferably, the elastomer in the skin layer of the TPO of this invention is TPV. TPV is selected as the elastomer in the TPO skin layer, and the content of TPV is lower than that of TPO skin layer, so that the good matching of the shrinkage rates of the TPO skin layer and the sponge layer can be realized, and the warpage and shrinkage are effectively reduced.
Preferably, the PP in the TPO skin layers of this invention has an elongation at break of > 300% and the PE in the TPO skin layers is a linear low density polyethylene and has an elongation at break of > 300%.
In addition, the TPO skin layer of this invention can be added with small amount of heat stabilizer and color master batch based on 100 weight parts of total weight of PP, PE and elastomer to improve light and heat aging property and skin coloring property.
PP is the main raw material of sponges. Preferably, the PP in the sponge layer is homopolymeric PP and impact-resistant PP, wherein the impact-resistant PP is contained in an amount of 5 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total weight of the sponge layer. The heat resistance of the sponge can be optimized by homopolymerization PP and impact-resistant PP.
Preferably, the sponge layer also comprises ≦ 5 parts by weight of Polyethylene (PE), preferably Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE). The PE can improve the softness of the sponge layer.
Preferably, a stabilizer, for example, 1 part by weight, can also be added to the sponge layer as needed to further improve heat resistance; and color concentrates, for example 0 to 2 parts by weight.
In the sponge layer, two kinds of PP (homopolymerized PP and impact-resistant PP), linear low-density polyethylene, a foaming agent, a stabilizer and color master batches are uniformly mixed and then extruded to obtain a compact layer film, and then, electrons are crosslinked to form action points inside the compact layer film. The compact film is foamed into the polyolefin sponge through a foaming furnace, and the foaming rate has influence on the performance of the material. The properties of the raw materials PP, LLDPE will influence the thermodynamic behaviour of the polyolefin sponge, for example: shrinkage, cohesion, warpage, elongation at break and tensile strength.
Preferably, a paint layer is provided on the TPO skin layer. The surface coating may be carried out using conventional paints known in the art. Aqueous polyurethane paints are preferably used in the present invention. The surface treatment by printing paint on the surface of the TPO material can advantageously improve the gloss, hand feel, and light, heat, dirt, abrasion, scratch, and other functionalities of the obtained TPO artificial leather surface. The paint layer can for example comprise the following components: 60-75 parts of aqueous polyurethane dispersoid, 0.5-1.5 parts of polyurethane thickener, 0.1-0.5 part of isocyanate curing agent, 10-40 parts of water and 0.5-2 parts of silicon dioxide.
The thickness of each layer constituting the TPO artificial leather of the present invention is not particularly required. One skilled in the art can select the appropriate thickness according to the particular requirements.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a warp-resistant TPO artificial leather, comprising the following steps
(A) Providing a TPO skin layer comprising PP, PE and an elastomer, comprising 30 to 40 parts by weight PP, 30 to 40 parts by weight PE and 20 to 40 parts by weight elastomer, based on 100 parts by weight total of PP, PE and elastomer in the skin layer;
(B) providing a sponge layer comprising > 90 parts by weight PP and 3-5 parts by weight of a foaming agent, based on 100 parts by weight of the total sponge layer;
(C) and combining the TPO skin layer and the sponge layer together through composite embossing, wherein the traction tension is less than or equal to 30N.
In order to improve the warpage resistance of the manufactured TPO artificial leather, in addition to the product formulation of TPO, it is another key that the traction tension during the composite embossing process is as low as possible. It is desirable according to the present invention that neither the TPO skin layer nor the sponge layer have a control system tension (tension pulled by the traction device) in excess of 30N, preferably in excess of 25N. The low tension minimizes the stretching deformation of the TPO artificial leather.
Preferably, the embossing temperature is 175-. If the embossing temperature is too low, e.g., < 155 ℃, the pattern is difficult to press on the TPO skin and the product cannot be used in a precision trim lamination technique. If the embossing temperature is more than 155 ℃ and less than 175 ℃, although the pattern can be formed, the pattern retention is not so good in the post-processing formation, and the pattern forming appearance fluctuates depending on the depth. In addition, if the temperature is too high, the product will appear too bright and have a high gloss during embossing, typically exceeding 220 ℃, and the TPO will melt completely and fail to emboss properly.
According to the invention, after the TPO skin layer and the sponge layer are compounded, the TPO material is cooled by sequentially cooling.
Preferably, the TPO artificial leather manufactured according to the above method is the aforementioned TPO artificial leather resistant to warping according to the present invention. Thus, the aforementioned characteristics of TPO artificial leather are also applicable to the preparation method, and will not be described repeatedly.
Finally, the invention also provides the application of the warping-resistant TPO artificial leather, which can be applied to the precise edge cutting and laminating technology. Compared with the conventional process, the precise trimming and laminating technology can more favorably perform part forming. For this, after TPO artificial leather is manufactured by compounding a TPO skin layer with a polyolefin sponge layer by infrared heating, it is pre-cut into a skin of an irregular shape which is precise and slightly larger than a part by a cutter. Then carry out the hot melt adhesive coating to irregular shape's TPO synthetic leather, the hot melt adhesive is accurately coated on sponge layer one side surface. The hot melt adhesive can be selected from a reactive type or a non-reactive type, the reactive type is generally not more than 12 hours, and the non-reactive type product can be stored for 2-3 months at most. And finally, the irregular TPO artificial leather precoated with the hot melt adhesive is precisely attached to the framework through a precise film laminating machine to form an automotive interior part, such as an automotive interior decoration area of an instrument panel, a door panel and the like. Alternatively, the hot melt adhesive can be coated on the back of the sponge in advance through a roll gluing machine, then the TPO artificial leather is cut into a designed shape by a precise mould and then is attached to the framework, and the using amount of the hot melt adhesive is slightly larger than that of the scheme of cutting irregular skins and then coating the hot melt adhesive.
The TPO artificial leather according to the present invention has advantages in that: has good dimensional stability, the dimensional change of the foam layer relative to the TPO skin layer is less than or equal to 1mm, the warp degree at normal temperature is less than or equal to 1cm, the warp degree after 10min at 120 ℃ is less than or equal to 2cm, and in addition, the shrinkage rate at high temperature is reduced compared with the traditional TPO, for example, the shrinkage rates in the machine direction (longitudinal direction) and the breadth direction (transverse direction) tested after 168h at 80 ℃ according to GMW4217 are less than or equal to 2 percent, and the shrinkage rates in the machine direction (longitudinal direction) and the breadth direction (transverse direction) tested after 168h at 120 ℃ according to GMW4217 are less than or equal to 3 percent. Therefore, after the hot melt adhesive is coated for adhering the framework, the TPO material cannot be warped, and the method can be well applied to an accurate film laminating technology; and the flatness of the TPO material can be adjusted. Meanwhile, the thermal aging resistance and compression resilience of the TPO artificial leather of the invention both keep expected requirements, for example, when the thermal aging resistance is measured after 500 hours at 120 ℃ according to GMW141223.2.9.3, the gray level is more than or equal to 4; the compression resilience was tested according to DBL5306.15.2 and was 0.1mm or more in rebound at 10N and 0.4mm or more in rebound at 40N.
