Problems solved by technology

However, the current low-density polyethylene foam materials still have disadvantages such as low strength, poor resilience, and uneven cells. Currently, the polyethylene foam beads (pearl cotton) that exist on the market mostly use organic foaming agents, which are easy to produce. Flammable and explosive, low production efficiency, high energy consumption, poor plasticity for special-shaped products, prone to cell collapse during the preparation process, resulting in complex preparation process, high scrap rate and large material loss in the production process

Abstract

According to the invention, a conventional nucleating agent suitable for regulating and controlling the crystallization behavior of polypropylene is applied to control the crystallization behavior ofpolyethylene, and the invention discloses a method for controlling assembling and preparing microporous expandable polyethylene beads by using different crystallization behaviors. 20-95 parts of linear low-density polyethylene adopted as matrix resin; 10-45 parts of high-density polyethylene or atactic polypropylene (the melting point is 130-150 DEG C); 0.05-5 parts of alpha-crystal nucleating agents comprising an inorganic nucleating agent with an alpha-crystal nucleating function, aromatic carboxylate, sorbitol and the like; and 1-15 parts of an auxiliary agent are utilized in the method. Extruding and granulating steps are performed by adopting a double-screw extruder. During production, an intermittent method is adopted; different crystallization nucleating agents are used for coordinating layer-by-layer assembling crystallization, rigidity increasing changes generated by the polypropylene alpha crystallization nucleating agents are flexibly combined with the crystallization speed,the size of crystal particles and the growth and solidification process of foam holes of a foam material, and the microporous expandable polyethylene beads good in performance and resistant to retraction are prepared.
