Therefore, the requirements of the standard EN 45545-2R 9 HL2 grade can be met without adding a large amount of flame retardant.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The rubber compound suitable for the elastic node is prepared by mixing natural rubber and solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber and reasonably and optimally matching the natural rubber, the reinforcing agent and the flame retardant, and the prepared rubber compound for the elastic node also meets the requirement of combustion performance on the premise of meeting various mechanical properties by utilizing the rubber compound, namely the combustion performance meets the requirement of EN 45545-2R 9 HL2, and the mechanical property also meets the requirement of the standard TB/T2843-. Therefore, the requirements of the standard EN 45545-2R 9 HL2 grade can be met without adding a large amount of flame retardant. The technical problem that the rubber material for the elastic node in the prior art cannot meet the standard requirement of combustion performance is solved.
Specifically, the coating comprises the following components in parts by mass:
60-75 parts of natural rubber, 25-40 parts of solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, 50-60 parts of reinforcing agent, 5-10 parts of active agent, 4-8 parts of anti-aging agent, 2-3.5 parts of modifier, 3-8 parts of flame retardant, 5-12 parts of plasticizer, 1.5-3 parts of vulcanizing agent and 1.5-3 parts of accelerator, wherein the sum of the parts by mass of the natural rubber and the solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is 100 parts.
In a preferred embodiment, 75 parts of natural rubber and 25 parts of solution polymerized styrene butadiene rubber are used.
Further, the natural rubber can be selected from standard rubber or smoked sheet rubber; the natural rubber is preferably smoked sheet rubber.
In a preferred embodiment, the solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber preferably has a styrene content of 15% and a vinyl content of 30%.
Specifically, the styrene-butadiene rubber and the natural rubber have similar molecular main chain structures, are diolefin rubber, have similar polarities and have very good compatibility. The solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber has a plurality of grades because of molecular design during synthesis, and the commercialized grade has the styrene content of between 10 and 40 percent and the vinyl content of between 10 and 80 percent. When the optimized solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is a grade with low styrene and medium-low vinyl content, the glass transition temperature Tg is approximately equal to-65 ℃, so that the solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber with the grade has better low-temperature performance. Compared with emulsion polymerized styrene butadiene rubber, the solution polymerized styrene butadiene rubber has higher cis-1, 4-structure content in the molecule and better rebound resilience. As the content of styrene in the solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is increased, the steric hindrance effect of the movement relaxation of the polymer chain is increased, the hysteresis loss is increased, and the influence of the vinyl content on the hysteresis performance of the rubber material is not obvious. Therefore, the preferred solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber has a lower hysteresis loss. The low-temperature performance and elasticity of the solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber are close to those of natural rubber. In addition, the thermal degradation temperature resistance and the aging resistance of the rubber are better than those of natural rubber. The solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber replaces partial natural rubber to be used together, thereby playing a good role in blending and modifying and improving the performance of rubber materials. The solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber reduces the proportion of natural rubber in the rubber material and improves the heat resistance and the thermal decomposition temperature of the rubber material. The rubber material can form a continuous compact carbon layer after being burnt, and can play a better heat insulation protection role on the unburned polymer at the lower layer, thereby improving the burning performance of the rubber.
In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing agent comprises white carbon black and carbon black; 20-30 parts of white carbon black. The white carbon black can be used in the amount of 20, 22, 25, 28, 30 and the like. Specifically, the white carbon black has the synergistic effects of reinforcement and flame retardance, and can improve the mechanical property and the combustion property of the rubber material. In addition, besides the blending ratio of the carbon black and the white carbon black needs to be controlled, the selection of the specific surface area and the dispersion characteristic of the white carbon black is also critical, and the specific surface area needs to be controlled at 110m2More than g and has high dispersion property. To obtain good dispersing effect and mechanical properties.
In a preferred embodiment, the flame retardant is ammonium polyphosphate. The addition of a small amount of ammonium polyphosphate hardly affects the mechanical properties of the rubber material, but can play a role in stabilizing char formation and preventing a combustion layer from cracking during combustion. The char layer formed during combustion protects the underlying unburned polymer. And the ammonium polyphosphate is preferably a high molecular weight crystal form-II ammonium polyphosphate which is modified by microencapsulation surface coating.
Further, the plasticizer is naphthenic oil. Naphthenic oil is a common plasticizer for natural rubber, and although the naphthenic oil belongs to a small-molecular combustible substance, the naphthenic oil has little influence on the combustion performance of rubber materials when used in a small amount. Active agents include zinc oxide and stearic acid; the anti-aging agent is prepared by using 4010NA, RD and paraffin in combination; the modifier is a silane coupling agent, and the specific amount of the modifier is 10% of the using amount of the white carbon black.
In a preferred embodiment, the vulcanizing agent is preferably sulfur and N, N' -m-phenylene bismaleimide, and the accelerator is preferably N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide and tetrabenzyl thiuram dithio.

TABLE 1 comparison of mechanical Properties of comparative and example compounds
TABLE 2 comparative flammability data for comparative and example compounds
TABLE 3 comparative and example elastic node product Performance comparative data
It can be seen from table 1 that as the amount of solution polymerized styrene butadiene rubber increases and the amount of natural rubber decreases, the tensile strength of the rubber compound gradually decreases. As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, when the total amount of crude rubber is 100 parts and the addition amount of the solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is 15 parts, the combustion performance of the obtained rubber material still cannot meet the requirements of the technical standards, so that the technical requirements cannot be met until the content of the solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber reaches a certain value; meanwhile, it can be seen that when the addition amount of the solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber reaches 45 parts, the mechanical property of the obtained rubber material cannot meet the technical standard requirement of mechanical property, so that the mechanical property and the combustion property of the rubber material can meet the technical requirement at the same time by reasonably matching the two rubbers. As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, when the total amount of raw rubber is 100 parts, the content of natural rubber is 60-75 parts, and the dosage of the solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is 25-40 parts, the prepared rubber material for the elastic node can simultaneously meet the requirements of mechanical property and combustion property of the rubber material.
Further, as can be seen from table 2, the comparative example cannot meet the burning performance of the rubber material, however, according to the invention, the solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber and the natural rubber are used together, the reinforcing agent adopts carbon black and white carbon black, the ammonium polyphosphate is used as the flame retardant, and the reasonable optimization and matching are performed among the components, so that the rubber material of the elastic node in the invention can meet the requirements of the burning performance EN 45545-2R 9 HL2 on the premise of meeting the technical requirements of the mechanical performance, thereby solving the problem that the burning performance of the rubber material for the elastic node in the prior art cannot meet the requirements of EN 45545-2R 9 HL 2.
Further, as can be seen from table 3, when the selected natural rubber content is 60-75 parts and the amount of the solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is 25-40 parts, not only the obtained rubber material can meet the technical requirements of mechanical properties and combustion properties, but also the prepared elastic node product meets the technical requirements of product rigidity.
Example 8
In this embodiment, based on example 3, the blending ratio of carbon black and white carbon black of the reinforcing agent in the components is further analyzed, so that the ratio of carbon black to white carbon black is more reasonable, and thus a rubber compound with more excellent comprehensive properties is obtained, as shown in table 4 specifically:
table 4 Performance test results of rubber compounds with different amounts of carbon black and white carbon black
In Table 4, No. 1# -6# are 6 different test formulations, in which the blending ratio of carbon black and silica is changed only, and the other components are the same as those in example 3. As can be seen from Table 4, on the premise of keeping the hardness of the rubber compound basically consistent, the tensile strength, the elongation at break, the tear strength and the compression set of the rubber compound are slightly increased along with the increase of the using amount of the white carbon black, the change of other mechanical properties is not obvious, and the MARHE and D in the combustion performance indexesS maxThe improvement is gradual. When the using amount of the white carbon black reaches 35 parts, the ozone aging resistance and the cracking resistance are realized, because the white carbon black has an adsorption effect on the anti-aging agent, the more the white carbon black is used, the more the anti-aging agent is adsorbed, and the insufficient anti-aging agent is not transferred to the surface of the rubber to play a protection role, so that the cracking resistance of the rubber is realized. In addition, for rubber elastic elements such as elastic nodes, the smaller the compression set, the better, so in the case of combustion performance that can meet the technical requirements, the smaller the amount of white carbon black, the better. Therefore, the reinforcing agent is used in 50-60 parts, and when the white carbon black is used in 20-30 parts, the performance of the rubber material can meet the requirements of various technical indexes.
