Problems solved by technology

At present, the variety of trimellitate plasticizers in my country is relatively single, and the industrial production level and output are very low, and it is limited to the production of tris(2-ethyl)hexyl trimellitate (TOTM). It is relatively high, and its application is restricted economically. Therefore, finding and developing low-cost, high-performance substitutes has become a research direction for many manufacturers.

Abstract

A method for preparing a plasticizer 1, 2, 4-benzenetricarboxylicacid tris(2-propyl heptyl) ester belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis. The method comprises the steps: by adopting trimellitic anhydride and 2-propyl heptanol as main reaction raw materials, mixing and heating in the presence of a titanate catalyst, activated carbon and attapulgite to esterify to obtain a 1, 2, 4-benzenetricarboxylicacid tris(2-propyl heptyl) ester crude product after reaction is finished; and carrying out neutralizing, alkali washing and washing on the crude product in turn, distilling at reduced pressure to remove the excessive alcohol, and filtering to obtain the 1, 2, 4-benzenetricarboxylicacid tris(2-propyl heptyl) ester finished product. The method has the advantages of available and low price selected raw materials, small catalyst usage, no obvious corrosiveness, small environmental pollution and the like, and is convenient for operation and energy-saving. The obtained product has small volatility, extraction resistance and transfer resistance and has advantages which are similar to those of a polyester catalyst; and moreover, the compatibility, processability and lower temperature performance of the obtained product are comparable to those of phthalic acid ester, and the obtained product has a wide application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a preparation method of plasticizer tris(2-propylheptyl) trimellitate, which belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis. [0002] It specifically relates to a trimellitate plasticizer with good extraction resistance, good migration resistance, good thermal stability, excellent low-temperature performance, non-toxic and environment-friendly. Its preparation method is to use trimellitic anhydride and 2-propylheptanol to synthesize tris(2-propylheptyl) trimellitate through esterification under the catalysis of titanate, and then neutralize the resulting crude product, wash it with water, and depressurize it. After dealcoholization and filtration, a light yellow oily product was obtained. Background technique [0003] Plasticizers are functional products that are added to high molecular polymers to increase the plasticity of materials, make them easy to process, and endow products with softness. They are widely used in pl...
