The present invention relates to an improvement in a method for emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture of chloroprene and unsaturated nitrile. Conventionally, a method for producing oil-resistant chloroprene rubber by emulsion polymerizing chloroprene and unsaturated nitrile using a radical catalyst is known. For example, US Patent No. 2066331, US Patent No. 2395649,
2399407, British Patent No. 858444, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 15043/1973. However, although the use of disproportionated rosin acids as emulsifiers in these polymerization methods has been disclosed, when only disproportionated rosin acids are used, as the content of unsaturated nitriles in the total monomers is increased, Oil droplets may disperse as large particles, or the system may remain separated into an oil layer and a water layer, resulting in poor emulsion stability during polymerization, slowing down the polymerization rate, or polymer precipitation during polymerization. There is a drawback that it does. Therefore, formaldehyde condensates of fatty acids and naphthalenesulfonic acid (USP 3190865), rosin acid-fatty acids-sodium aromatic sulfonates (USP 3317451), and rosin acid-unsaturated fatty acids-naphthalesulfonic acid formalin condensates (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1989-1999-1)
21834) as an emulsifier has been proposed. However, even when these emulsifiers are used, the emulsion system is unstable compared to the emulsion system of chloroprene homopolymer, and for example, when latex is stored for a long time at a low temperature of 5 to 10°C, formation of aggregates is observed, or Since a relatively large amount of water is required for polymerization, about 150 to 250 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the monomer, a highly concentrated latex cannot be obtained, resulting in poor birthability. As a result of research on the emulsion copolymerization of chloroprene and unsaturated nitrile, the present inventor discovered a more stable emulsifier.This emulsifier system reduces the water to monomer ratio during polymerization and has stable emulsifying properties even at low temperatures. The present invention was developed based on this recognition. The present invention provides a method for emulsion polymerizing a monomer mixture of at least 50% by weight of chloroprene and an unsaturated nitrile, in which 100 parts by weight or more of water and disproportionated rosin acid as an emulsifier are added to 100 parts by weight of the total monomer mixture. 2 to 5 parts by weight, 1 to 3 parts by weight of a water-soluble salt of a naphthalene sulfonic acid formalin condensate, and a salt of an unsaturated fatty acid having 12 to 20 carbon atoms of an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue.
This is a method for emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture of chloroprene and unsaturated nitrile, characterized by using 0.5 to 3 parts by weight and further 0.2 to 1.0 parts by weight of water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol as an auxiliary emulsifier. The amount of chloroprene monomer in the monomer mixture must be at least 50% by weight. The reason for this is the limit necessary to maintain the properties of chloroprene rubber. The chloroprene monomer may be present in its entirety in the system before polymerization, or may be added in portions. As unsaturated nitriles, acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile are preferred monomers. In the present invention, only these unsaturated nitriles may be copolymerized to chloroprene, but in addition, a part of the unsaturated nitriles may be replaced with one or more types of other monomers copolymerizable with these monomers. There is no problem. The copolymerizable monomer accounts for 20% by weight of the total monomers.
The following are preferred. Preferred copolymerizable monomers include styrene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or esters thereof, 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, 1-chlorobutadiene, and 2,3-butadiene.
- Conjugated diolefins such as dichloro-1,3-butadiene. In this way, the scope of the present invention also includes the case where a monomer mixture containing other monomers in addition to chloroprene and unsaturated nitrile is polymerized. Based on 100 parts by weight of the total monomer mixture explained above, 2 to 5 parts by weight of disproportionated rosin acid as an emulsifier;
1 to 3 parts by weight of a water-soluble salt of a naphthalene sulfonic acid formalin condensate, 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of an unsaturated fatty acid salt having 12 to 20 carbon atoms of an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, and 0.2 to 1.0 parts by weight of a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol. Use parts by weight. As water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol with a degree of polymerization of 200 to 2400 and a degree of saponification of 70 to 98% is preferable, particularly a degree of polymerization of 300 to 98%.
~2000 and a degree of saponification of 80 to 90% is optimal.
Polyvinyl alcohol is used in an amount of 0.2 to 1.0 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total monomer mixture, but if the amount is too large, the viscosity of the polymerization system increases and handling becomes inconvenient, so the preferred amount is 0.2 to 0.7 parts by weight. Department.
If other emulsifiers are used in amounts less than the above range, the storage stability of the latex produced after polymerization will be poor, and the oil layer and water layer will separate during polymerization. On the other hand, if too much is used, the viscosity of the latex will increase and foaming may occur, which is not preferable. Furthermore, if a large amount of emulsifier is used, it will flow out when the polymer is washed with water, making it difficult to treat wastewater. As the water-soluble salt of the naphthalene sulfonic acid formalin condensate, sodium, potassium, and ammonium salts are preferred. Preferred unsaturated fatty acid salts include oleic acid, linoleic acid, sodium salts and potassium salts of linoleic acid, and these may be used alone or in combination. The amount of water used for polymerization is 100 parts by weight of monomer.
At least 250 parts by weight is required, and at less than 100 parts by weight, the latex becomes unstable, and at more than 250 parts by weight, more unsaturated nitrile dissolves in the water phase than monomer oil droplets. The nitrile concentration in the resulting polymer is low, and furthermore, conventional finishing methods may not be applicable. One of the advantages of the present invention is that by using polyvinyl alcohol, the amount of water used in polymerization can be reduced. A good emulsion can be made with 100 to 200 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of monomer.
It's also economical. The chain transfer agent is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use an isopropyl group as the alkyl group of the alkyl xantogen disulfide. The molecular weight of mercaptans can also be adjusted by using relatively large amounts. Preferred catalysts include potassium persulfate, benzoyl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, and hydrogen peroxide. The polymerization temperature is 10-60°C, preferably 30-50°C. In addition, sulfur can be added up to 2% by weight based on the total monomers. By using the emulsifier of the present invention, there is no particular problem in production, and the desired polymerization rate can be achieved by using a polymerization inhibitor such as phenothiazine or tacyalibutylcatechol to terminate the polymerization. The elastomer can also be made into a dry solid rubber by a known method. Further, if desired, the latex can be concentrated as it is, or can be used as a latex type without being concentrated. The vulcanizate has excellent oil resistance, heat resistance, and zone resistance. The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Example 1 Using a total amount of 5 kg of monomers, an emulsion polymerization material was charged into a polymerization can with an internal volume of 30 according to the polymerization recipe shown in Table 1 to create an emulsion, and potassium persulfate and anthraquinone-β-sulfone were added as catalysts. An aqueous solution of sodium acid was added little by little, and polymerization was carried out at 40°C in a nitrogen stream. Unreacted monomers were removed from the resulting latex by stripping. The following tests were conducted on the obtained latex, and the results are listed in Table 2. (1) Coagulated product After the latex was left in an incubator at 5°C for 5 days, the coagulated product was filtered through an 80-mesh wire gauze, and after drying, the ratio (weight %) to the total solid content in the latex was determined. (2) Stability against acids Add 5% acetic acid aqueous solution to the latex to adjust the pH.
I investigated the latex situation when adjusting to 7.0. (3) Mooney viscosity The Mooney viscosity (ML 1+4 100°C) of the coagulated and dried elastomer was measured.
