Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to a composite rubber material with good acid resistance and elasticity, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber extrusion rollers are essential in the electronics industry (copper foil). After cleaning, the surface of the copper foil is covered with a water film. At this point, it needs to be squeezed out by one or more pairs of extrusion rollers using mechanical pressure to remove most of the water. Therefore, the core task of the extrusion rollers is to efficiently and evenly remove most of the water and residual acid from the surface of the copper foil by mechanical means before it enters the final drying stage.

[0003] However, existing rubber extrusion rollers suffer from poor dewatering properties (poor elasticity), directly reducing drying efficiency, energy consumption, and the surface quality of copper foil. They also have poor acid resistance, leading to swelling, softening, hardening, cracking, and surface powdering. Once these issues occur, the extrusion roller quickly loses elasticity and pressure, drastically reducing the dewatering effect and contaminating the copper foil product.

[0004] Therefore, developing a composite rubber material with good acid resistance and elasticity is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a composite rubber material with good acid resistance and elasticity, its preparation method, and its application.

[0013] According to another aspect of this application, a method for preparing a high-temperature-resistant, high-pressure-resistant, and high-hardness rubber composite material as described above is provided, comprising the following steps: S1: Add the rubber matrix, zinc oxide, stearic acid, and compound antioxidants to a mixer according to the specified ratio. Mix at 100-120℃ for 3-6 minutes to obtain the first mixed rubber compound.

It can also react better at the temperature specified in this application, effectively avoiding scorching and dead rubber formation. This results in a composite rubber material with good acid resistance and elasticity.

[0015] In some implementations, in step S1, the mixing temperature is 110°C and the time is 5 minutes. And / or in step S2, the secondary mixing temperature is 130℃; the time is 5 minutes; And / or in step S3, the additional mixing temperature is 140°C; the time is 4 minutes; and the cooling temperature is 65°C. And / or in step S4, the temperature is 95°C and the mixing time is 2 minutes.

[0016] According to another aspect of this application, there is an application of the aforementioned composite rubber material in the preparation of rubber extrusion rollers.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: The technical solution of this application, while ensuring sufficient acid resistance, achieves... fillers and plasticizers The adjustment precisely controls the hardness at 60°A and maximizes elastic recovery. Water-recovery performance depends on the elastic recovery capability of the roller.

[0040] All of the above components are commercially available.

[0041] II. Experimental Results Data of Examples and Comparative Examples The materials in the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to performance tests. Specifically, the performance tests were conducted in accordance with GB / T 531.1 "Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Vulcanized Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber - Part 1: Shore Hardness Tester Method (Shore Hardness)"; GB / T 528-2009 "Determination of Tensile Stress-Strain Properties of Vulcanized Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber"; GB / T 529-2008 "Determination of Tear Strength of Vulcanized Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber (Pants-Shaped, Right-Angle and Crescent-Shaped Specimens)"; GB / T 1681-2009 "Determination of Resilience of Vulcanized Rubber"; and GB / T 1690-2010 "Test Method for Liquid Resistance of Vulcanized Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber". The performance test results are shown in Table 2 below. Table 2 - Performance Test Results

[0042] Based on the above embodiments and comparative data, the technical solution of this application can achieve the following performance: Shore hardness A is 60±2; tensile strength / MPa ≥15; elongation at break / % ≥300; tear strength kN / m ≥30; resilience (%) ≥50; volume change after immersion in pH=4-5H2SO4 at 70°C for 72h: ΔV (%) ±5.

[0043] As can be seen from the above embodiments and comparative data, this application is not a simple sum of the functions of each component, but rather the result of careful design and synergistic cooperation between the components and their proportions. Through the precise coordination of each component, the two properties of "high elasticity" and "acid resistance," which are often contradictory in traditional understanding, are unified under low hardness (60°A) conditions.

[0044] Good acid resistance: The acid resistance of NBR is usually enhanced by increasing the acrylonitrile (ACN) content. However, a high ACN content will lead to increased rubber hardness and decreased elasticity, which is detrimental to extrusion performance. Therefore, nitrile butadiene rubber with a high acrylonitrile (ACN) content should be selected as much as possible without affecting extrusion performance.

[0045] Good water-repellent properties (resilience): 1. While ensuring sufficient acid resistance, the hardness is precisely controlled at 60°A by adjusting the fillers and plasticizers, and elastic recovery is maximized. Squeezability depends on the elastic recovery ability of the rubber roller. Rubber with the lowest possible acrylonitrile content should be selected while ensuring acid resistance. 2. The technical solution of this application is a "low-sulfur, high-accelerator" system, which is a dense and stable three-dimensional network structure. This structure can provide rapid and sufficient elastic recovery after removal by external force (squeezing water film), thereby "bounced" the water film and scraped it off, effectively avoiding water residue. Compared with traditional single accelerator systems, this composite system ensures the efficiency and stability of the cross-linking network.

[0046] Therefore, this application presents an integrated technical solution based on high-nitrile NBR, with the plasticizer TOTM stabilizing the reaction system and composite vulcanization improving resilience. This solution effectively resists acid corrosion, thus solving the two major technical defects of existing copper foil dewatering rollers: poor dewatering effect and short service life. It has significant progressiveness and application value.

[0047] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make other modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
