Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the uncrosslinked layer and consequently to reduce the surface tackiness by method wherein electron rays are directed to thermoplastic high polymeric organic substance installed in water. CONSTITUTION:An oxygen-free state is very easily realized by installing thermoplastic high polymeric organic substance or a molded item made of thermoplastic high polymeric organic substance to be crosslinked. A crosslinked article, the surface of which is fully crosslinked, can be obtained by directing electron rays to the item under the above-mentioned state. Consequently, when sealing material such as O-ring or the like is manufactured by employing the above- mentioned method for crosslinking, the obtained sealing material has little surface tackiness and does not stick to a sealing surface. The above-mentioned method can aim at many thermoplastic high polymeric organic substance for the crosslinking of which the irradiation with electron rays is heretofore applied.

When crosslinking incandescent plastic organic polymers by electron beam irradiation in the presence of oxygen, crosslinking and oxidative deterioration occur simultaneously, so the irradiation chamber is usually filled with nitrogen gas. Irradiation cross-linking is carried out in a nitrogen gas atmosphere.By the way, it is practically difficult to completely replace the irradiation chamber with nitrogen gas, so a small amount of the irradiation-crosslinked article remains in the irradiation chamber. Crosslinking is hindered by oxygen (surface decomposition takes precedence), and an uncrosslinked layer is formed on the surface.This uncrosslinked layer on the surface exhibits tackiness not only at room temperature but especially at high temperatures of 70°C or higher. When the article produced by irradiation crosslinking is a sole material such as an O-ring, the adhesiveness of this surface causes it to stick to the sealing surface (metal surface) and the surface of the sealing material is stuck to the sealing surface. There's a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to provide an irradiation crosslinking method that can also be applied to the production of sealing materials such as O-rings. That is, as described above, the present invention is characterized in that the thermoplastic organic polymer to be crosslinked or its molded product, such as an O-ring, is placed in water and the electron gland is irradiated.

By placing the thermoplastic organic polymer to be cross-linked or its molded product in water, it is possible to create an oxygen-free state very easily. By irradiating the product with an electron beam in this state, it is possible to obtain a crosslinked article whose surface is sufficiently crosslinked, compared to the case where crosslinking is performed by irradiation in an irradiation chamber substituted with nitrogen gas. Therefore, by applying the crosslinking method of the present invention,
When manufacturing a sealing material such as a ring, the obtained sealing material has low adhesiveness and does not have the problem of sticking to the sealing surface (metal surface).
