Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing expandable styrene polymers (EPS) with reduced thermal conductivity.
- EPS expandable styrene polymers
- Polystyrene particle foams have been known for a long time and have proven themselves in many areas. Such foams are produced by foaming polystyrene particles impregnated with blowing agents and subsequent welding of the foam particles thus produced to shaped articles. An important area of application is thermal insulation in construction.
- the foam panels made of polystyrene particle foam used for thermal insulation mostly have densities of about 30 g / 1, because at these densities. the thermal conductivity of the polystyrene particle foam is at a minimum. For reasons of saving material or saving space, it would be desirable to use foam slats with lower densities, in particular ⁇ 15 g / 1, for thermal insulation. The production of such foams is technically not a problem. Foam sheets with such a low density, however, have a drastically deteriorated thermal insulation capacity, so that they do not meet the requirements of thermal conductivity class 035 (DIN 18 164, Part 1).
- EP-A 981 575 proposes using graphite as an athermanous material.
- This patent application also describes in detail a process for producing EPS containing graphite particles, in which styrene is polymerized in aqueous suspension in the presence of the graphite particles.
- a combination of dicumyl peroxide and dibenzoyl peroxide is used as the polymerization initiator in the examples.
- the peroxide which decomposes at a relatively low temperature is not dibenzoyl peroxide, but one which does not form benzoyl or benzyl radicals, for example tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate .
- a solution of polystyrene in styrene should be available at the beginning of the suspension polymerization. This ensures that the suspension still has a sufficiently high viscosity even when the temperature is increased and is therefore sufficiently stable.
- the invention was therefore based on the object of making as little polystyrene added as possible in the EPS production by suspension polymerization of styrene in the presence of graphite.
- This object is achieved in that the polymerization is carried out in the presence of a peroxide which has a half-life of 1 hour at 50 to less than 70 ° C.
- EP-A 1 057 838 also describes a process for the production of EPS with two peroxides which decompose at different temperatures, which are only added when the temperature has exceeded 50 ° C. when the batch is heated.
- One peroxide should have a half-life of 1 hour at 70 ° C to 110 ° C, the other at 110 to 135 ° C.
- Expandable styrene polymers are understood to mean styrene polymers containing blowing agents.
- the EPS according to the invention contains, as polymer matrix, homopolystyrene or styrene copolymers with up to 20% by weight, based on the weight of the polymers, of ethylenically unsaturated comonomers, in particular alkylstyrenes, divinylbenzene, acrylonitrile or ⁇ -methylstyrene.
- the usual auxiliaries such as. B. suspension stabilizers, blowing agents, chain transfer agents, expanding aids, ' nucleating agents and plasticizers are added. It is particularly preferred to add flame retardants, preferably in amounts of 0.6 to 6% by weight and flame retardant synergists in amounts of 0.1 to 1% by weight, based in each case on the resulting styrene polymer.
- flame retardants are aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic bromine compounds, such as hexabromocyclododecane, pentabromomonochlorocyclohexane and pentabromophenyl allyl ether.
- Suitable synergists are CC- or 0-O-labile organic compounds, such as dicumyl and dicumyl peroxide. Blowing agents are added in amounts of 3 to 10% by weight, based on styrene polymer. They can be added before, during or after the polymerization of the suspension. Suitable blowing agents are aliphatic hydrocarbons with 4 to 6 carbon atoms. It is " advantageous to use inorganic Pickering dispersants, for example magnesium pyrophosphate or calcium phosphate, as suspension stabilizers.
- the graphite used preferably has an average particle size of 1-50 ⁇ m, in particular 2.5-12 ⁇ m, a bulk density of 100-500 g / 1 and a specific surface area of 5-20 m / g. Natural graphite or synthetic graphite can be used.
- the graphite particles are added in amounts of 0.1 to 25, in particular 2 to 8,% by weight, based on the resulting styrene polymer. They are used either in powder form or as a granular concentrate in polystyrene. In principle, it is also possible to add the graphite particles only in the course of the suspension polymerization, preferably during the first half of the polymerization cycle.
- the suspension polymerization is carried out in the presence of at least two peroxides which decompose at different temperatures.
- Peroxide A which decomposes at a higher temperature, should have a half-life of 1 hour at 110 ° C to 150 ° C, preferably at 120 to 140 ° C.
- peroxide A all customary peroxides which decompose at the aforementioned high temperatures can be used as peroxide A.
- Preferred peroxides A are therefore dicumyl peroxide and the aliphatic or cycloaliphatic perketals or monoperoxycarbonates listed in EP-A 574 665.
- Peroxide A is preferably used in amounts of 0.1 to 2.0% by weight, in particular 0.3 to 1.0% by weight, based on the monomers.
- the peroxide B which is optionally added in amounts of 0 to 0.5% by weight, preferably 0.02 to 0.3% by weight, based on the monomers, should not form any benzoyl and benzyl radicals on decomposition .
- Peroxides B which form alkoxy radicals on decomposition are preferred. Examples include tert. -Butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, amylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, tert. -Butylperoxydiethylacetat and tert-Butylperoxyisobuta- noat.
- a peroxide C with a half-life of 1 hour at 50 to less than 70 ° C. is preferably added, preferably at 60 to 69 ° C., in the amount of from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight in suspension polymerization, in particular from 0.03 to 0.3% by weight, based on the monomers.
- Suitable peroxides C are dicetyl peroxydicarbonate ("Perkadox 24" from AKZO-NOBEL), bis (4-tert-butyl-cyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate (“Perkadox 16”) and dimyristyl peroxydicarbonate ("Perkadox 26"). These peroxides have a half-life of 1 hour in the range of 60 to 70 ° C.
- the suspension polymerization is advantageously carried out in several temperature stages.
- the suspension is first heated to 80 ° C to 100 ° C, whereby the peroxides C and B disintegrate and initiate the polymerization.
- the reaction temperature is then allowed to rise, preferably by 5 to 17 ° C. per hour, to 100 to 145 ° C. and is held at this temperature until the residual monomer content has dropped to less than 0.1%.
- the peroxide A breaks down in this temperature range. This procedure enables EPS to be produced with low residual monomer contents.
- the use of peroxides with different half-lives depending on the temperature allows a controlled removal of the heat of reaction over the entire process. This is particularly important for large reaction vessels, such as those used in industrial production. dng come, which have an unfavorable volume / surface ratio for heat dissipation.
- such fractions that cannot be used have diameters greater than 2.0 mm or less than 0.2 mm.
- Recycled polystyrene and recycled foam polystyrene can also be used.
- Suspension polymerization produces pearl-shaped, essentially round particles with an average diameter in the range from 0.2 to 2 mm, in which the graphite particles are homogeneously distributed. You can with the usual coating agents such.
- the expandable styrene polymers containing graphite particles can be processed into polystyrene foams with densities of 5 to 35 g / 1, preferably 8 to 25 g / 1 and in particular 30 to 15 g / 1.
- the expandable particles are pre-foamed. This is usually done by heating the particles with water vapor in so-called pre-expanders.
- the pre-expanded particles are then welded into shaped bodies.
- the pre-expanded particles are brought into non-gas-tight molds and water vapor is applied. After cooling, the molded parts can be removed.
