Description

Preparation method and application of lactic acid-based environment-friendly plasticizer
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a lactic acid-based environment-friendly plasticizer, belonging to the fields of fine chemical synthesis, environment-friendly plastic additives and plastic additive application.
Background
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used engineering plastics in the world at present, and is used in the fields of packaging, pipes, cables, floors, medical instruments and the like. However, pure PVC materials have hard and brittle properties at normal temperature, which limits the range of applications, and plasticizers must be added to lower the glass transition temperature, impart flexibility to PVC materials, and improve processability during processing PVC products. The PVC plasticizer which is most commonly used up to now is phthalate plasticizer, which has the advantages of low cost and high plasticizing efficiency, but many researches show that the phthalate plasticizer is easy to migrate out of PVC materials, not only accumulates in the environment and pollutes the environment, but also poses threats to human health. Several commonly used phthalate plasticizers have been banned from use in many fields in countries and regions such as the united states, european union and japan, and at present, our country is gradually restricting the use of phthalate plasticizers. The requirements of the world on environmental protection and health are becoming stricter, so that a novel environment-friendly plasticizer with low migration and low toxicity is urgently required to replace the o-benzene plasticizer, and the application of PVC products in the fields of food packaging, medical health and the like is expanded.
Lactic acid is a carboxylic acid containing hydroxyl, has wide sources in nature, can be produced massively by fermentation laws, and is a renewable biomass raw material. Lactic acid is nontoxic and harmless to the environment and human bodies, accords with the concept of environmental protection, and is an ideal plasticizer raw material. Because the lactic acid molecules contain hydroxyl and carboxyl, the lactic acid molecules can generate self-polymerization reaction under certain conditions to obtain oligomeric lactic acid molecular chains, and the oligomeric lactic acid molecular chains contain more ester groups, which are favorable for improving the compatibility of the plasticizer and PVC, so the lactic acid is an ideal raw material for preparing the plasticizer.

According to the technical scheme, lactic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether are used as raw materials, and the lactic acid-based environment-friendly plasticizer diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate is obtained through two-step esterification reaction.

The application of the lactic acid-based environment-friendly plasticizer is characterized in that the prepared diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate is applied to the preparation of PVC materials as a main plasticizer or an auxiliary plasticizer.
The invention has the following beneficial effects: the invention uses lactic acid, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and 2-ethyl caproic acid as main raw materials, and designs a novel plasticizer molecular structure by using lactic acid as a molecular link through two-step esterification reaction.

Application example 1
12g of PVC powder, 6g of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate prepared in example 2 and 200mL of tetrahydrofuran are added into a beaker, magnetons are added, the mixture is stirred for 12-24 hours on a magnetic stirrer after being sealed, the solution is poured into a culture dish with the diameter of 15cm after being stirred uniformly, the culture dish is kept stand and volatilized in the air for 3 days and then is placed in an oven at 50 ℃ for 2 days, and the obtained PVC film sample is used for carrying out a thermal stability test, a migration resistance test and a DMA test.
A comparative PVC sample was prepared by DOTP and ATBC using the same procedure.
Thermogravimetric analysis is carried out on three PVC samples, the results are shown in figure 2, 1, 2 and 3 are respectively thermal weight loss curves of PVC samples plasticized by diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate, ATBC and DOTP, and two weight loss stages of the three PVC samples can be seen from the thermal weight loss curves. Stage a is mainly loss of plasticizer and decomposition of PVC chain to remove HCl; and the stage b is the further decomposition of the PVC carbon chain skeleton. From the three curves in the figure, it can be seen that at 10% and 50% mass loss, the temperature corresponding to PVC plasticized with diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate is higher than ATBC and slightly lower than DOTP, indicating that the PVC sample plasticized with diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate shows good thermal stability.
The specific results of comparative tests on migration resistance and volatility resistance of three PVC samples in different solvents are shown in fig. 3, wherein 1, 2 and 3 are mass loss rates of PVC films plasticized by diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate, DOTP and ATBC in different media, three solvents are selected for testing migration resistance, an activated carbon environment is selected for testing volatility resistance, and the solvents are distilled water, a non-polar solvent petroleum ether and a polar solvent absolute ethyl alcohol. And respectively putting the PVC test piece into the three solvents for soaking for 24 hours, putting the PVC test piece into activated carbon, and similarly standing for 24 hours at 70 ℃. As can be seen from the figure, the ATBC plasticized PVC sample was easily volatilized in activated carbon; the DOTP plasticized sample is easy to migrate out in a nonpolar solvent petroleum ether and has better stability in other solvents and activated carbon; the diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate plasticized PVC sample keeps good stability in the environments, basically does not migrate in distilled water, absolute ethyl alcohol and petroleum ether, and therefore has good migration resistance and volatility resistance.
DMA analysis of the three PVC samples as shown in figure 4, curves 1, 2 and 3 are plots of Tan delta versus temperature for the diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate, DOTP and ATBC plasticized PVC samples, respectively. The three curves have only one peak, which shows that the three plasticizers have good compatibility with PVC, and the temperature corresponding to the peak of the curve represents the glass transition temperature of the PVC sample. As can be seen, the glass transition temperature of PVC plasticized by DOTP is the lowest, 29.7 ℃; the glass transition temperature of PVC plasticized by ATBC is 33.8 ℃; the glass transition temperature of a PVC sample plasticized by the diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate is 38.2 ℃, and the size of the PVC sample is not much different from that of PVC plasticized by ATBC, which shows that the capability of reducing the glass transition temperature of the PVC by the diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate is similar to that of ATBC and DOTP, so that the diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethylhexanoate can be completely used as a main plasticizer, has the plasticizing performance similar to that of a commercial environment-friendly plasticizer, and can replace ATBC, DOTP and even traditional phthalate plasticizers.

8. Use of a lactic acid-based environmentally friendly plasticizer prepared by one of the methods of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: the prepared diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethyl hexanoate is applied to the preparation of PVC materials.
9. Use of a lactic acid-based environmentally friendly plasticizer prepared by one of the methods of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: the prepared diethylene glycol monobutyl ether-lactic acid-2-ethyl hexanoate is used as a primary plasticizer or an auxiliary plasticizer to be applied to the preparation of PVC materials.
