Embodiment 1

[0047] 100kg TPU particles in Table 1, 15Kg EVA melt viscosity modifier, 10kg calcium carbonate and 1.2kg anti-aging agent were premixed in a high-speed mixer, and the length was 1.3 mm and long Elliptical TPU blend particle G1 with diameter ratio of 1.2. The DSC curve of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer blend particles is attached figure 1 As shown, this curve is a secondary heating curve, which is to eliminate the thermal history. From the curve, it can be seen that the glass transition temperature of TPU is -37.39°C, and the melting range is 111.5-176.4°C. It can be inferred that the optimum foaming temperature of this TPU is generally The melting range peak was determined as the optimum foaming temperature. The infrared spectrum of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer blend particles is attached figure 2 As shown, 3327cm -1 It is the imino infrared absorption peak in carbamate, 2956 and 2861cm -1 Infrared absorption peaks for methyl and methylene, strong 1724cm -...

Embodiment 2

[0051] Premix 100kg TPU particles, 15Kg LDPE melt viscosity regulator, 13kg talcum powder and 1kg anti-aging agent in Table 1 in a high-speed mixer, and melt and blend underwater pellets through an extruder to make a length of 1.5 mm and a long diameter Round TPU blend particle G2 with a ratio of 1.

[0052] Weigh 15kg of TPU blend particles G2 into the autoclave, raise the temperature of the autoclave to 180°C, and inject high-pressure CO 2 and N 2 The fluid made the pressure of the autoclave reach 20 MPa. In order to make the impregnation and heating of the TPU blend particles G2 more uniform, the autoclave was turned on with low-speed stirring, and the impregnation time was 1 h. After the high-pressure fluid reaches the dissolution equilibrium in the TPU resin, the pressure is released gradually, and the pressure release time is 10s to obtain pre-expanded TPU particles Y2. Move the above-mentioned pre-expanded particles Y2 into the secondary foaming autoclave, feed 0.6MPa...

Embodiment 3

[0055] Premix 100kg of TPU particles, 12Kg of ABS melt viscosity regulator, 12kg of clay and 2kg of anti-aging agent in Table 1 in a high-speed mixer, melt and blend underwater granulation through an extruder to make a length of 3 mm, aspect ratio The elliptical TPU blend particle G3 is 1.7.

[0056] Weigh 14kg of TPU blend particles G3 into the autoclave, raise the temperature of the autoclave to 130 °C, and feed high-pressure CO 2 and N 2 The fluid made the pressure of the autoclave reach 19 MPa. In order to make the impregnation and heating of the TPU blend particles G3 more uniform, the autoclave was started to stir at a low speed, and the impregnation time was 1.5 h. After the high-pressure fluid reaches the dissolution equilibrium in the TPU resin, the pressure is gradually released. The pressure release time is 13s, and the pre-expanded TPU particles Y3 are obtained. Move the above-mentioned pre-expanded particles Y3 into the secondary foaming autoclave, feed 0.4MPa s...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a preparation method of thermoplastic polyurethane beads and a bead molding technology. High foaming thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) beads are obtained through: melting and granulating TPU, melt viscosity modifiers, fillers and age resisters to prepare TPU co-blending granules; using clean, cheap, environmentally-friendly CO2 and / or N2 as foaming agents; and performing medium-temperature and high-pressure soakage, dissolution equilibrium, pressure relief and pre-foaming, saturated steam secondary foaming and other techniques. The obtained high foaming TPU beads are small in shrinkage ratio and smooth in surface. The invention further discloses the bead molding technology which uses a water vapor assisted mould pressing technology to prepare molded bodies of the TPU foaming beads, the prepared molded bodies of the TPU foaming beads are low in density, small in shrinkage ratio and uniform in surface texture, and also have an unique property of TPU resin. The TPU beads can be widely applied in the fields of vibration-absorptive materials, packaging materials, toys for children, sporting goods, aviation models, heat insulating materials, automotive interior materials, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-foaming thermoplastic polyurethane bead (TPU) with a smooth surface and no wrinkle skin prepared by using an environmentally friendly physical foaming agent and medium-low pressure steam, and obtains a foamed bead molded body through a steam-assisted molding process , particularly relates to a preparation method of thermoplastic polyurethane beads and the bead molding process. Background technique [0002] Most of the foaming materials in the prior art are based on plastic, and a large number of air bubbles are obtained inside the plastic matrix by adding a physical or chemical foaming agent. Foamed materials are widely used in daily necessities, packaging and automobiles due to their light specific gravity, heat insulation, shock absorption and sound absorption. [0003] In the daily necessities industry, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foaming materials are often used as sports shoe sole materials due to their ...
