Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a process for the preparation of foamed thermoplastic polyurethanes, novel foamed thermoplastic polyurethanes and reaction systems for preparing foamed thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • Thermoplastic polyurethanes herein after referred to as TPUs, are well-known thermoplastic elastomers. In particular, they exhibit very high tensile and tear strength, high flexibility at low temperatures, extremely good abrasion and scratch resistance. They also have a high stability against oil, fats and many solvents, as well as stability against UN radiation and are being employed in a number of end use applications such as the automotive and the footwear industry.
  • a low density TPU needs to be developed which, in turn, represents a big technical challenge to provide, at minimum, equal physical properties to conventional low density PU.
  • the present invention thus concerns a process for the preparation of foamed thermoplastic polyurethanes whereby the foaming of the thermoplastic polyurethane is carried out in the presence of thermally expandable microspheres and a flow aid.
  • the low density thermoplastic polyurethanes thus obtained have a fine cell structure, very good surface appearance, a relatively thin skin and show comparable physical properties to conventional PU which renders them suitable for a wide variety of applications.
  • the invention provides TPU products having outstanding low temperature dynamic flex properties and green strength at the time of demould, at density 800 kg/rn ⁇ and below.
  • green strength denotes the basic integrity and strength of the TPU at demould.
  • the polymer skin of a moulded item for example, a shoe sole and other moulded articles, should possess sufficient tensile strength and elongation and tear strength to survive a 90 to 180 degree bend without exhibiting surface cracks.
  • the prior art processes often require 5 minutes minimum demould time to attain this characteristic.
  • the present invention therefore provides a significant improvement in minimum demould time. That is to say, a demould time of 2 to 3 minutes is achievable.
  • microspheres in a polyurethane foam has been described in EP-A 29021 and US-A 5418257.
  • blowing agents during the processing of TPUs is widely known, see e.g. WO-A 94/20568, which discloses the production of foamed TPUs, in particular expandable, particulate TPUs, EP-A 516024, which describes the production of foamed sheets from TPU by mixing with a blowing agent and heat-processing in an extruder, and DE-A 4015714, which concerns glass-fibre reinforced TPUs made by injection moulding TPU mixed with a blowing agent.
  • Thermoplastic polyurethanes are obtainable by reacting a difunctional isocyanate composition with at least one difunctional polyhydroxy compound and optionally a chain extender in such amounts that the isocyanate index is between 90 and 110, preferably between 95 and 105, and most preferably between 98 and 102.
  • 'difunctional' as used herein means that the average functionality of the isocyanate composition and the polyhydroxy compound is about 2.
  • isocyanate index is the ratio of isocyanate-groups over isocyanate- reactive hydrogen atoms present in a formulation, given as a percentage.
  • the isocyanate index expresses the percentage of isocyanate actually used in a formulation with respect to the amount of isocyanate theoretically required for reacting with the amount of isocyanate-reactive hydrogen used in a formulation.
  • the isocyanate index as used herein is considered from the point of view of the actual polymer forming process involving the isocyanate ingredient and the isocyanate-reactive ingredients. Any isocyanate groups consumed in a preliminary step to produce modified polyisocyanates (including such isocyanate-derivatives referred to in the art as quasi- or semi-prepolymers) or any active hydrogens reacted with isocyanate to produce modified polyols or polyamines, are not taken into account in the calculation of the isocyanate index. Only the free isocyanate groups and the free isocyanate-reactive hydrogens present at the actual elastomer forming stage are taken into account.
  • the difunctional isocyanate composition may comprise any aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic isocyanates. Preferred are isocyanate compositions comprising aromatic diisocyanates and more preferably diphenylmethane diisocyanates.
  • the polyisocyanate composition used in the process of the present invention may consist essentially of pure 4,4 -diphenylmethane diisocyanate or mixtures of that diisocyanate with one or more other organic polyisocyanates, especially other diphenylmethane diisocyanates, for example the 2,4 -isomer optionally in conjunction with the 2,2 -isomer.
  • the polyisocyanate component may also be an MDI variant derived from a polyisocyanate composition containing at least 95% by weight of 4,4 -diphenylmethane diisocyanate.
  • MDI variants are well known in the art and, for use in accordance with the invention, particularly include liquid products obtained by introducing carbodiimide groups into said polyisocyanate composition and/or by reacting with one or more polyols.
  • Preferred polyisocyanate compositions are those containing at least 80% by weight of 4,4 - diphenylmethane diisocyanate. More preferably, the 4,4 - diphenylmethane diisocyanate content is at least 90, and most preferably at least 95% by weight.
  • the difunctional polyhydroxy compound used has a molecular weight of between 500 and 20000 and may be selected from polyesteramides, polythioethers, polycarbonates, polyacetals, polyolefins, polysiloxanes, polybutadienes and, especially, polyesters and polyethers, or mixtures thereof.
  • Other dihydroxy compounds such as hydroxyl-ended styrene block copolymers like SBS, SIS, SEBS or STBS may be used as well.
  • Mixtures of two or more compounds of such or other functionalities and in such ratios that the average functionality of the total composition is about 2 may also be used as the difunctional polyhydroxy compound.
  • the actual functionality may e.g. be somewhat less than the average functionality of the initiator due to some terminal unsaturation. Therefore, small amounts of trifunctional polyhydroxy compounds may be present as well in order to achieve the desired average functionality of the composition.
  • Polyether diols which may be used include products obtained by the polymerisation of a cyclic oxide, for example ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or tetrahydrofuran in the presence, where necessary, of difunctional initiators.

Random copolymers having oxyethylene contents of 10-80%, block copolymers having oxyethylene contents of up to 25% and random/block copolymers having oxyethylene contents of up to 50%, based on the total weight of oxyalkylene units, may be mentioned, in particular those having at least part of the oxyethylene groups at the end of the polymer chain.
  • Other useful polyether diols include polytetramethylene diols obtained by the polymerisation of tetrahydrofuran. Also suitable are polyether diols containing low unsaturation levels (i.e. less than 0.1 milliequivalents per gram diol).
  • modified diols often referred to as 'polymer' diols have been fully described in the prior art and include products obtained by the in situ polymerisation of one or more vinyl monomers, for example styrene and acrylonitrile, in polymeric diols, for example polyether diols, or by the in situ reaction between a polyisocyanate and an amino- and/or hydroxyfunctional compound, such as triethanolamine, in a polymeric diol.
