THERM,:
PLASTIC CHARACTER AND IMPROVED FEATURES The invention relates to a process LCr producing shoesole material with thermoplastic cha:acter and improved features. Under improved features resistance to oil and chemicals, flowability and ageing resistance are meant.
Predominant majority of thermoplastic shoesole materials f-or the shoe industry is made by using block- copolymers based cn styrene/diene - f irst of all styrenef/butadiene-, in 4-dj) the P01YS Lyrene ratio being present in form Of 2 block lies in the range between 25 and 35 mass-%. In addition, howeve:
infreqjently and exclusively for producing soles with 2 inicrocell fcaim structure, ethylene/vinlvl-acetate (E/VAC) used to be.applied (e.g. BE-PS 891 480).
Block-copolymers on styrene/diene basis represent the oldest members of the family of thermoplastic elastomers, they are produced in anionic or vital polymerization. In the multi- component sole-mixtures for the shoe industry in addition to said thermoplastic elastomer as further components other polymers, plasticizers, fillers, processing promoting additives, ageing inhibitors, pigments, other additives, in certain cases foaming agents are contained.
1) 4 Among the disadvantageous characteristics of the sole-,-.-iaterials made with thermoplastic elastcmers on styreneldiene basis let us mention most the disadvantageous resistance to oil and chemicals, weari- some processing due to restri%cted flowability in the melt state (injection moulding), as well as tendency to ageing resulting necessarily from the presence of unsaturated double bands. 'En certain cases the abovementioned disadvantages are accompanied by shrinkage of form, as shrinkage of the s-le-rr.ixture is most sensitive to even small quantitativet chalrlwes o.f the components and depends fundamentally on the chemical structure of the ther,-,,cplia-c-4L. .'Lc on styrene/butadiene basis (i.e. segment is within the block, linear or star-shaped structure.
I' difficulty lies 4 de A further source c. An that to their particular production technology only a few company is able to produce block copolymers TPS on styrene/diene basis (ANIC, FINA, PHILLI. PETROLEUM, SHELL), which leads in a given case to the defencelessness of the processing respectively applying companies.
In technical literature several examples are to be found for increasing the resistance to oil and chemicals of the sole-materials made with styrene/diene block-copolymers. The US-PS 4 209 594 describes a process, in course of which polystyrene inoculated with alkyl-acrylate is used as additive, 1 1 3 - in the US-PS 4 225 500 chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is used fo, the same purpose in addition to usual receptural components. Besides said polar additives crystalline polyolefines, such as high-density polyethylene (NSPE) (US-PS 4 216 132), linear low-density polyethylene (LKSPE) (US-PS 4 495 323) are considered effective for increasing the resistance to oil. An example is also known from technical literature, according to which nct a polar or strongly crystalline thermoplastic synthetic Material is used, but a polar thermoplastic elastomer, 1 y such as carboxylated syterene/butadiene block-ccpc.
is recoMmended (US-PS 4 409 357). Comr-ncn drawl.ack me.
of said systems can be characterized unter -Uhe heaj -line ccmpatibillity. The not properly c=p@tit'le components or those which could not or cannot be rendered compatible in course of mixing, may result in the unfavourable resistance to folding of the sole-material, eventually in scaling or break.
Improvement of injection moulding respectively processing becomes possible in two ways. The use of slipping agents of metallic soap type is rather restricted, as wandering to the surface considerably deteriorates stickiness of the sole-material. As a consequence, consumers prefer the use of flowabilit increasing agent of polymer type, just as polystrene and shockproof polystyrene (see Japanese Patent Application 80.116 944 or the Czechoslovakian Patent 4 189 445), which serve simultalneously for the adjustment of the hardness of the final, product. In part-icular, 1 examples relating to the use of poly(-Z-methyl-styrene) are known (US-PS 4 409 357 and 4 495 323). However, homogenization of polystyrene and styrene copolymers in the mixture is most wearisome. as this process becomes possible only in special itwo- worm mixing extruders.
Although introduction of crystalline poly- ethylenes (US-PS 4 216 132 and 4 4015 323) may also increase flowability of the mixture, their presence affects negatively adherence of the SO'Le-Mat- L The Cited Czechoslovak ian patent tries to elir.-.in2te said defficiency by using E/VAC. As a matter of fact, provement of adherence is intended to achieve im,. by using polymers inoculated with pola.- monomers (e.g. US-PS 4 209 594) or polar polymers (e.g. CFE according to the US-PS 4 225 500), as well as thermoplastic elastomers having carboxy groups at their 20 ends (US-PS 4 409 357).
To eliminate the presence of double bonds leading to ageing, US-PS 4 209 594 recommends the application of hydrogenated, i.e. subsequently saturated styrene/diene rubber. Another possibility for removing double bonds lies in vulcanization performed, simultaneously with sole-formation, which involves necessarily losing of thermoplastic character and possitility of repeated processing. This phenomenon occurs with a g e., n g f U 11 v vulcanizable sole materdal mixtures on styrene/butadiene rubber (SBR basis containing the components in a random distributicn (HU-PS 182 250).
Summing up prior arts, it can be stated that no sole material to be used in the shoe industry having been prepared by using thermoplastic elastomers, on styrene/diene basis is known, which could be characterized by proper resistance to oil and chemicals, flowability in the melt state and resista7ce to, simultaneously meeting the requirements in respect to durable foldability and adherence -Ficulty lies in that the manufacturer etc. A further Oif.
the mercy of the suppliers of scle material is at L o Lhe elastomers.
The aim of the invention is to produce a sole material with a thermoplastic character, which - when comPl2red to materials having been prepared by using traditional styrene/butadiene block-copolymers - shows a better resistance to chemicalsand ageing, - can be easily processed.
simultaneously it A further aim of the invention lies in producing this sole-material without applying block-copolymers on styrene/diene basis.
Further aim of the invention lies in that this improved thermoplastic sole-material could be manufactured by means of the usual equipments of the rubber indjustry without any difficulty.
6 - The invention is based on the recognition, that a sole material meeting all the requirements can be obtained, in so far the styrenei"butadiene rubber (56R) with static monomer distribution is plasticized - eventually in presence of other diene rubbers -, with crystalline, inoculated and/or not-inoculated polyolefine and/or ocolefine copolymer, eventually other additives known per se, in the presence of a peroxydic or sulphuric vulcanizing system, during mixing i.e. subjecting to shearing and pressure at a tempe- rature above the softening point of po-lyolefine.
A further recognition of the inventicn +1 e -ics of h lies in that the flowing charactezist sole material thus obtained can be adjusted in ccmipliance with prevailing requirements by the proper selecticn of the melt-index of the polyolefine applied, and Mooney-viscosity of the used rubber, as well as of quality and quantity of the vulcanizing system.
For those skilled in art it may be surprising, that inspite of the cros5-1inking agents applied a material with thermoplastic character can be obtained, which can be easily processed due to its good flowabili ty. According to experiences namely the formation of a not fusible material could be expected.
Furtheron, it is surprising, that by using diene rubbers being not resistent to oil and chemicals - 7 a product with improved resistance to oil and chemicals can be obtained.
A further surprising element of the invention lies in that by mixing polar rubbers and apolar olefine in accordance with the invention a well compatible system could be obtained.
At last, it is considered as surprising, that the product having been obtained by the process according to the invention is well-resistant to age 4 Lng, as presence of the vulcanizing agents:_ght to Cause the increased ageing ci the polyole'L.-Lne.
Summing up what has been said, the invention relates to a process for producing 2 thermop'12StiC sole material showing improved features, when ccm.pared to that made by using block-polymers on styrene/buta-moplastic diene basis, by applying 40 7 60 mass-% the.7 fine, 60-40 mass-% diehe rubber, 0 - 20 mass-% polyole. thermoplastic polystyrene and/or styrene copolymer, 0.1 - 600 mass-% plasticizers, filler, auxiliary materials, dyestuff, cross-linking agent known per se and other additives, by using one or more members thereof; the process comprising plasticizing as thermoplastic polyolefine polar inoculated polyolefine, polar ol--olefine copolymer, apolar polyolefine, respectively the mixture thereof having a melt index in -'[he range between 0.1 and 30 dg/min, when measured at 190 CC under a load of 21.2 N, with a crystalline ratic above 5 mass-%, wherein relative proportion of polar: apolar olefines amounts to 1:1 the most, with a rubber an static styrene/butadiene and/or ce-methyl-styrene/butadiene copolymer basis serving as diene rubber, wherein the content of styrene respectively styrene-derivative is maximally 10 - 50 mass-%, their Mooney viscosity lies in the range between 25 and 65 Mooney grade at 100 0 C, measured with a rotor indicated with L, after the expiration of four minutes in certain cases with other diene rubber, 5UPPOsed that the prcportion of SBR and other diene rubbers is 1:1 the most, by subjecting to shear and pressure at a temperatu.-e above the softening point of the polyolefine having tening point, in the presence of the highest S04LL peroxydic or -gulphuric cross-linking agents.
In sense of the invention as polar polyclelfine out of the inoculated polyclefines advantageously maleized polyolefine (inoculated with maleic acid or malic acid anhydride), out of the copolymer types advantageously ethylene/vinyl-acetate copolymer, ethylene/ethyl acrylate WEA) copolymer are used, out of the apolar types linear low and high density polyethylene, polypropylene homo- and copolymers, as well as the combination thereof are recommended.
As diene rubber, in addition to the obligaiory application of SBR-type5 polybutladiene (BR), polyisoprene (IR), natural rubber CNR), as well the Comtin2tion thereof can be used.
9 - In accordance with the invention out of the peroxidic systems dicumyl peroxyde, 1,3-bis/t.-butylperoxy-isopropyl/benzene, 2,5-dimethylhexane-2, 5-di-t.-butylperoxyde; 2,5-dimethylhexine-3+2,5-di-t.-butylperoxyde etc. can be advantageously used; out of the sulphuric types surface treated sulphur, colloidal sulphur, as well as sulphur-donor compounds can be used together with known accelerator systems.
1.0 Expediently, the sole-materi2l according to the invention is prepared 50, that firstly pclyclefine is charged into the mixer being usual in the rubte, industry, thereafter the rubber and the other adc"I.6ives (filers, plasticizers, dystuff etc.) are adted; thereafter is waited still the temperature of the mixture exceeds the softening point of the poLyclefine due to external heating and/or by the internal friction caused by the components according to the receipt, thereafter cross-linking agent is added.
The warm material leaving the mixer is lapped, cut into strips for further use, or made-up in form of granules.
Main advantages of the process according to the invention are, as follows:
- difficultly produced, difficultly available expensive block-copolymers on styrene/butadiene basis respectively sole materials manufactured therewith can be replaced with a mixture prepared - from cheap thermoplastic synthetic material produced in large mass and from several types of rubbers. since by using the process according to the invention a shoesole material for direct further-processing can be producad, considerable energy and material saving can be achieved in comparison with tChe processes which are working with styrene/ butadiene block-copolymers or by adding these copolymers. In this case namely sole-materJLal is formed on mixing extruders requiring considerable tion investmerlit. and labour, whereby energy consumpt surpasses that of the mixers of the rubber industry. Material savings appear in the fEact that while with mixers usual in the rubber industry - operating discontinuously - switchingover to an other quality, colour etc. may be performed from one charge to the other, continuously operated extruders require complete running out and cleaning. in comparison to the sole- material prepared from the usual block-copolymers on styrene/diene basis the product prepared in accordance with the invention shows improved resistance to oil and chemicals; flaving properties of the sole-material according to the invention are most advantageous, realiza- C 11 - tion of the prccess can be brought in compliance with prevailing requirements, e.g. by changing the receipt; tendency to ageing of the sole-material having been prepared according to the process of the invention is far less both under artificial and natural conditions, than that of the mixture containing styrene/butadiene block-copolymers serving as basis of comparison. shrinkage of the sole-material gained with the process according to the invention can trol be adjusted and cont Lled; ing the sole mnaterial having been prepared af ord.

to the inventicn can be glued more easily, its abrasion resistance to wear, additional tensile strength, permanent folding and slip-proofness are better, than those of the products made with block-copolymers on styrene-butadiene basis.
Realization of the process according to the invention will be detailed by means of examples without intending to restrict.

A mixture with a composition as detailed below was prepared in an internal 27-1S laboratory mixer of the type Werner-Pfleiderer, at 170 OC, revolution/minute n = 30; mixing was performed for 10 minutes.

H - Monsanto product 0 C = 42 Characteristics of the material with the aforementioned composition are summarized in t,' -e enclosed table. It is quite obvious that the sole material according to the example has a particularly low flowability, which results in easy processing. Resistance to oil and chemicals, so e.g. isooctane, paraffin cil and instrument oil is excellently good. I, such a manner it becomes possible to use the sole-r-,atE:--,a'L to working shoes.
Results of tests directed to resistance to ageing are better than average, which becomes obvious from the slight change in tensile strength and tensile elongation occurring under the influence of age-ing conditions. Similar conclusions can be drawn from the comparison of adhesion strength measured before and after ageing.
Linear shrinkage values of the sole material are also advantageous, which enables the production of form-soles with dimensional accuracy.
Results of resistance to abrasion and folding of the sole-material are surprisingly good. These 14 indices, as well as excellent results of gluing tests determining decisively processability represent determinaltive factors in respect to the application of the material in the shoe-industry. From the data of the table it becomes also obvious that changing of the vulcanization system (l/a - 1/b system) does not influence essentially the physical- mechanical indices.
