Description

Method for stably storing isocyanurate composition
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for the stable storage of isocyanate compositions, and to the stable storage of isocyanate compositions.
Background
The trimerization catalytic reaction of isocyanate is a curing and crosslinking method commonly used in the application field of polyurethane materials. The isocyanurate six-membered ring rigid structure generated by trimerization can provide high crosslinking degree to enhance the mechanical strength of the cured polyurethane material, and meanwhile, due to the high carbon-nitrogen-oxygen content of the isocyanurate six-membered ring and the excellent flame retardance generated by the conjugated aromatic structure, the integral flame retardance of the polyurethane material can be improved. For these reasons, the trimerization of isocyanate functions is widely used in the field of polyurethane materials. Generally, the trimerization reaction of isocyanates takes place in the presence of a trimerization catalyst. We have surprisingly found that in the presence of a free radical initiator, the isocyanate can trimerize even in the absence of a trimerization catalyst, i.e. an isocyanate composition to which a free radical initiator has been added will not be stable on storage because of the trimerization reaction. It is not known in the art how to make the trimerization of isocyanates with added free radical initiators slower or suppressed and to control the trimerization of isocyanates to occur either not or more controllably, so as to make the corresponding isocyanate compositions storage stable.
CN101675099A discloses a polymer composition containing a thermally activated free radical initiator comprising: (I) a free radical initiator, (II) a free radical crosslinkable polymer, (III) a scorch inhibiting and/or cure promoting amount of at least one of an isocyanate, a diisocyanate such as MDI, or a hydroxyalkyl (meth) acrylate compound such as hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, and optionally (IV) other scorch retarders and/or cure accelerators such as TEMPO compounds, hindered phenols, a-methylstyrene dimers, and the like. The free radical initiator may be any thermally activated compound that is relatively unstable and readily breaks into at least two free radicals, such as a peroxide or azo initiator. The crosslinkable polymer is a thermoplastic and/or elastomeric polymer that can be crosslinked (cured) by the action of a crosslinking agent, such as LDPE. The isocyanate, diisocyanate and (meth) acrylate scorch retardants and/or cure accelerators can be used alone or in combination with each other or optionally in combination with a TEMPO compound such as 4-hydroxy-TEMPO.
US5821296A discloses a polyurethane-polyester mixed resin system wherein the components of the system have improved shelf life stability. The resin system includes an a-side comprised of a multifunctional isocyanate and a free radical initiator. The hybrid resin system also includes a B-side comprising a hydroxyl terminated unsaturated polyester polyol, a vinyl unsaturated monomer, a polyurethane catalyst, a polymerization inhibitor, and optionally a peroxide accelerator, a chain extender, and a filler. The B-side polymerization inhibitor of the present invention includes a substituted hindered phenol type compound having a cyclic substituent which generates an activated benzylic hydrogen, a nitrophenol having a benzyl type substituent or not, naphthoquinone, a stable radical compound, and a mixture thereof.
CN101974307B discloses a polyurethane acrylate adhesive containing ionic groups and a preparation method thereof, wherein the adhesive comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 45-75 parts of macromolecular polyol, 1.5-3 parts of carboxylic acid compound or sulfonate, 15-30 parts of diisocyanate, 0.01-0.06 part of catalyst, 8-21 parts of monohydric alcohol containing acrylate groups and 0.01-0.06 part of free radical polymerization inhibitor, wherein the carboxylic acid compound or sulfonate is added into the macromolecular polyol, the diisocyanate and the catalyst are added after dehydration, the monohydric alcohol containing acrylate groups and the free radical polymerization inhibitor are added after temperature rise, a polyurethane acrylate polymer is obtained through temperature control reaction, and a mixture of a diluent and an initiator is added to obtain the product. Compared with the prior art, the invention contains ionic groups, so that the high-strength high-toughness high-molecular polyol has higher strength and toughness, and the multi-functionality high-molecular polyol also increases the mechanical strength of a system.
Despite the above disclosures, there remains a need in the art for a method of stably storing isocyanurate compositions.
Disclosure of Invention
In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for stably storing an isocyanate composition comprising:
A1) one or more polyisocyanates;
A2) at least one free radical initiator;
which is the addition of component A3) at least one free-radical inhibitor to the isocyanate composition.
Preferably, the isocyanate composition is used for preparing a polyurethane resin.
Preferably, the polyisocyanate is selected from aromatic isocyanates, preferably diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate or combinations thereof, particularly preferably diphenylmethane diisocyanate or (poly) diphenylmethane diisocyanate.
Preferably, the A2) free radical initiator is present in an amount of 0.1 to 5pbw, preferably 0.2 to 4pbw, more preferably 0.4 to 3pbw, based on 100pbw of the total weight of the isocyanate composition.
Preferably, the A2) free radical initiator is selected from peroxide and/or azo compounds.
Preferably, the peroxide is selected from the group consisting of ketone peroxides, peroxycarbonates, peroxyacyl, peroxyesters, hydrogen peroxide, alkyl peroxides, or any combination thereof.
Optionally, the azo compound is selected from azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisoheptonitrile, or any combination thereof.
Preferably, the A3) free radical inhibitor is present in an amount of 0.001 to 2.0pbw, preferably 0.002 to 1pbw, more preferably 0.01 to 0.8pbw, based on the total weight of the isocyanate composition based on 100 pbw.
Preferably, said a3) radical inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of hindered and/or conjugated structure-containing phenols, amines and sulfur compounds, preferably hindered and/or conjugated structure-containing phenols, amines and sulfur compounds which react with primary or chain radicals to form non-radical species or stable radical species which can no longer initiate polymerization of the monomers, more preferably hindered phenols, hindered amines and phenothiazines, and especially hindered phenols.
Through repeated experiments, we have surprisingly found that isocyanates to which a radical initiator is added are susceptible to trimerization to form (poly) isocyanurates, so to speak, the radical initiator catalyzes the trimerization. Mixing the free-radical initiator directly in the isocyanate has an adverse effect on the transport and long-term storage of the isocyanate mixture. Particularly, under the condition of direct sunlight at high temperature in summer, the internal temperature of the common van-type transport vehicle can reach 50-60 ℃ in a sealed environment, so that the trimerization reaction of isocyanate can be promoted to occur in advance, and the quality of an isocyanate product is influenced. During some long haul shipping, ships may travel near the equator of the tropics for several weeks, and it is more difficult to ensure the quality of the isocyanate mixture to which the free radical initiator is added under such long term high temperature conditions. More surprisingly, we have found that the incorporation of a suitable amount of a free radical inhibitor in the isocyanate mixture effectively extends the storage time without any concern about quality problems even during transport under hot weather conditions. The method of the invention simply and effectively realizes the stable storage of the isocyanate composition, thereby simplifying the production process of the polyurethane resin, in particular to the polyurethane resin used for producing large products such as fan blades and the like, and improving the production efficiency.
In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an isocyanate composition comprising the following components:
A1) one or more polyisocyanates;

A radical initiator refers to an agent capable of generating radicals in a radical reaction. Also known as free radical initiators. The process of generating free radicals becomes chain initiation. The radical initiator that can be used in the present invention includes, but is not limited to, peroxide initiators, organic peroxide initiators and inorganic peroxide initiators, azo initiators, redox initiators, and the like.
The general structural formula of the organic peroxide compound is R-O-O-H or R-O-O-R, wherein R is alkyl, acyl, carbonate and the like. It further comprises: acyl peroxides, for example: benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide; hydroperoxides, such as: cumene hydroperoxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide; dialkyl peroxides, for example: di-tert-butyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide; ester peroxides, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, tert-butyl peroxypivalate; ketone peroxides, for example: methyl ethyl ketone peroxide and cyclohexanone peroxide; dicarbonate peroxides, for example: diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate and dicyclohexyl peroxydicarbonate. Generally, the order of activity of the organic peroxide is: dicarbonate peroxide > acyl peroxide > ester peroxide > dialkyl peroxide > hydroperoxide.
Azo initiators include azobisisobutyronitrile and azobisisoheptonitrile, which belong to low-activity initiators. Azodiisobutyronitrile is commonly used, the use temperature ranges from 50 ℃ to 65 ℃, the azodiisobutyronitrile is uniformly decomposed, only one free radical is formed, and other side reactions are avoided. Is relatively stable and can be safely stored in a pure state, but can be rapidly decomposed at 80-90 ℃. The disadvantage is the relatively low decomposition rate and the lack of dehydrogenation capability of the isobutyronitrile radicals formed, which cannot be used as initiators for graft polymerization.
In general, azobisisoheptonitrile has high activity and high initiation efficiency, and can be used for substituting azobisisobutyronitrile. And the azodiisobutyrate dimethyl ester (AIBME) has moderate initiation activity, easy control of polymerization reaction, no residue in the polymerization process, high product conversion rate and harmless decomposition products, and is the best substitute of azodiisobutyronitrile (AlBN). The decomposition temperature of the peroxide initiator and the azo initiator is high (50-100 ℃), so that the application of the low-temperature polymerization reaction is limited.

The hindered amine refers to a class of organic amine compounds with steric hindrance. Useful hindered amines include piperidine derivatives, imidazolone derivatives, and azacycloalkanone derivatives, for example, two main classes of 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine derivatives and 1, 2, 2, 6, 6-pentamethylpiperidine derivatives.

Examples
The raw material type source is as follows:
isocyanate 44V 20: NCO%: 30.5-32.5%, viscosity: 160-240mP.s @25 ℃ as purchased from Corsia Polymer (China) Co., Ltd;
tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB): purchased from acyclovir;
tert-butylhydroquinone, dibutylhydroxytoluene (BHT): all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich;
GTS-THP gel time determinator: purchased from Shanghai Senlan scientific instruments, Inc.
Examples the test methods are illustrated below:
the NCO content, which is the NCO group content in the system, was determined by GB/T12009.4-2016.
The gel time is the time until the components of the reaction system start to be mixed until the viscosity reaches a certain value (for example, about 10000mPa. s). The gel time of the present invention is a time measured using a gel tester. The specific test method comprises the steps of uniformly mixing all components of the reaction system, placing the mixture in a gel tester, and recording the time from the pressing of an opening button to the stop of the gel tester, namely the gel time of the invention.
And (3) viscosity testing: tested according to GB/T12008.8-1992 standard.
Comparative example 1
100 parts by weight (pbw) of liquid isocyanate raw material 44V20 was added to a plastic cup, 2 parts by weight of TBPB was added thereto, the mixture was rapidly stirred uniformly, and then the mixture was put into an oven at 50 ℃ to monitor the viscosity change and temperature change. At intervals, samples were removed, cooled to room temperature (25 degrees Celsius), and tested for viscosity and NCO content. The test results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 test results of comparative example 1
Figure BDA0002637949530000141
As can be seen from Table 1 above, the viscosity of the isocyanates increases significantly after a few weeks, already exceeding the normal quality standards. After 5 weeks, the NCO had dropped significantly and the viscosity had become too high to be useful.
The infrared spectrum of figure 1 also verifies these changes. Compared with the isocyanate without the addition of the free radical initiator, the isocyanate with the addition of the free radical initiator has three characteristic peaks (1704.80cm-1, 1409.60cm-1 and 758.36cm-1) after 56 days, shows the existence of the isocyanurate group, and verifies that the trimerization reaction is carried out under the existence of the free radical to generate the isocyanurate group.
(Note: FIG. 1, curve s1 shows the spectrum for the system only with isocyanate 44V 20; FIG. 1, curve s2 shows that the viscosity has not changed in the initial stage after 2pbw of TBPB has been added to isocyanate 44V 20; FIG. 1, curve s3 shows the spectrum after 56 days after 2pbw of TBPB has been added to isocyanate 44V 20.)
