Wherein 3 ∈ represents 3 years or more and 5 years or less; 1 ∈ represents less than 1 year, and so on; 10% compressive stress was according to GB/T8813-2008; the simulated photo-aging time is detected by adopting a xenon lamp simulated photo-aging test.
According to the data, the titanium dioxide modified by EBS mixing is introduced in the preparation method of the foamed polypropylene, so that the brightness (L value) of the surface of the product can be effectively improved, and the higher brightness can perform the total reflection function on light, so that the ultraviolet light is shielded, the generation of photoinitiated polypropylene free radicals is reduced, the ageing resistance of the product is improved, and the service life of the product is prolonged; in addition, the titanium dioxide master batch can be directly coated on the particle surface by adopting a double-layer coextrusion process, and the brightness (L value) of the product surface can be greatly improved by using a very small amount of titanium dioxide, so that the irradiation of ultraviolet light is better shielded, and the ageing resistance time of the product is better improved than that of single-layer extrusion; in particular, the coextrusion process can be considered as a preferred scheme for adjusting the addition amount of the core layer nucleating agent, thereby expanding the cell size of a product system, improving the expansibility of the product, reducing the molding pressure and improving the apparent quality of a product part; however, the ratio of the coating must be strictly limited, otherwise, the molding pressure of the product is significantly affected by side effects on the molding of the product.
Comparing the test data of examples 1-3 with those of examples 4-5, it can be seen that better product quality can be obtained by using less titanium dioxide with the double-layer coextrusion process than with the single-layer extrusion process.
The comparative example 1 was compared with example 3, the addition amount of the titanium pigment master batch was increased, resulting in deterioration of the product appearance, and at the same time, the product cost was increased.
Compared with the comparative example 2 and the example 5, the addition amount of the titanium dioxide master batch is reduced, and the L value is obviously reduced and the ageing resistance is poor although the appearance of the product is better.
Compared with the comparative example 3, the product has poor appearance quality, obviously reduced L value and poor ageing resistance without adding titanium dioxide master batch.
Comparative example 4 compared with example 1, titanium white powder was not activated, the cell size distribution of the product was remarkably widened, the appearance quality of the product was poor, and the L value was remarkably lowered, and the aging resistance was deteriorated.
Comparative example 5 compared with example 4, the titanium white powder was not activated, the cell size distribution of the product was remarkably widened, the appearance quality was poor, and the L value was remarkably lowered, and the aging resistance was deteriorated.
The difference between comparative example 6 and example 1 is that the nucleating agent master batch and the titanium white master batch are not prepared separately, the polypropylene, the nucleating agent and the titanium white are directly mixed and foamed, the cell size distribution of the product is obviously widened, the surface of the product is uneven, and the ageing resistance is still poor although the L value is higher.
With the above-described preferred embodiments according to the present invention as an illustration, the above-described descriptions can be used by persons skilled in the relevant art to make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
