Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of release agents, in particular to a water-based release agent for polyurethane foaming of automobile seats. Background Art
[0002] Polyurethane foam is widely used in the manufacture of automotive seats, but it is prone to adhesion to the mold during the demolding process, requiring the use of a release agent to assist in demolding. Traditional solvent-based release agents contain volatile organic compounds, which pollute the environment and endanger the health of operators. Although existing water-based release agents have improved their environmental friendliness, they still have problems such as low demolding efficiency, poor film-forming properties, and residues that affect subsequent coating. As shown in the document "Research Progress of Water-Based Release Agents", water-based release agents are safe to use, can reduce environmental pollution, and are easy to clean, but they still have problems such as instability and poor multiple demolding performance. Therefore, how to avoid this phenomenon is the key to solving the problem. Summary of the Invention
[0003] (1) Technical problems solved In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a water-based release agent for polyurethane foaming of automobile seats, which has a good demoulding effect.
[0004] (2) Technical solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a water-based release agent for polyurethane foaming of automobile seats, comprising the following components by weight: 8-15 parts by weight of polydimethylsilane, 10-12 parts by weight of octamethyltetrasiloxane, 1-1.5 parts by weight of modified carbon nanotubes, 3-4 parts by weight of polyoxyethylene carboxylate, 4-7 parts by weight of propylene glycol, 1-2 parts by weight of double-ended epoxy silicone oil, and 5-10 parts by weight of deionized water.
[0005] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified carbon nanotubes is: S1. After uniformly dispersing N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, carboxylated carbon nanotubes and thionyl chloride by ultrasonication, heating under reflux, reacting at 120-140°C, and after completion of the reaction, rotary evaporation, washing with tetrahydrofuran, and drying to obtain acyl chloride carbon nanotubes; S2. Add tri(4-aminophenyl)amine to N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, stir to dissolve, and continue to add acyl chloride carbon nanotubes and triethylamine catalyst. React for 6-8 hours. After reaction, distill under reduced pressure, filter, and wash to obtain modified carbon nanotubes.
[0006] Furthermore, the usage ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide, carboxylated carbon nanotubes, and thionyl chloride in S1 is 60-80 mL: 2-3 g: 21-25 g.
[0007] Furthermore, the reaction time in S1 is 16-22 hours.
[0008] Furthermore, the usage ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide, tris(4-aminophenyl)amine, acyl chloride carbon nanotubes, and triethylamine catalyst in S2 is 75-85 mL:1.2-1.5 mmol:0.4-0.42 mmol:0.01-0.02 g.
[0009] Furthermore, the reaction temperature in S2 is 90-95°C.
[0010] Furthermore, the preparation method of the double-ended epoxy silicone oil is: Add 5-6 g of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and 7-8.2 g of 1,3-diglycidyloxypropyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane to the reactor, introduce nitrogen protection, then continue to add 0.021-0.023 g of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, react at 70-75 ° C for 3-5 hours, and then cool and discharge to obtain double-ended epoxy silicone oil.
[0011] Furthermore, the preparation method of the water-based release agent for polyurethane foaming of automobile seats is as follows: polydimethylsilane, octamethyltetrasiloxane, deionized water polyoxyethylene carboxylate, and propylene glycol are stirred at a rate of 600-800 r / min for 3-6 minutes using a magnetic stirrer at room temperature, and modified carbon nanotubes and double-ended epoxy silicone oil are continuously added and stirred at a rate of 1000-1500 r / min for 4-7 minutes to obtain the water-based release agent for polyurethane foaming of automobile seats.
[0012] (3) Beneficial technical effects By using a combination of polydimethylsilane, octamethyltetrasiloxane, modified carbon nanotubes, polyethylene glycol carboxylate, propylene glycol, double-ended epoxy silicone oil and deionized water, the water-based release agent of the present invention can effectively reduce the adhesion between the polyurethane foam material and the mold, thereby achieving a good demolding effect.
[0013] The modified carbon nanotubes enhance the dispersibility and stability of the carbon nanotubes by introducing tris(4-aminophenyl)amine, and further improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the release agent.
[0014] The double-ended epoxy silicone oil, through its synergistic effect with polydimethylsilane and octamethyltetrasiloxane, enhances the release agent's lubricity and surface smoothness, further improving the release effect. The epoxy groups in the double-ended epoxy silicone oil undergo a ring-opening reaction with the amino groups in the modified carbon nanotubes, generating hydroxyl groups and forming chemical bonds. This further enhances the release agent's adhesion and uniformity on the mold surface, thereby improving the release effect and ensuring a more even dispersion of the modified carbon nanotubes in the release agent.
