[0021] The following will be further described in detail through specific embodiments:

[0022] Example 1

[0023] An embodiment of the present application provides a semi-transparent polyurethane rubber, and the preparation raw materials of the semi-transparent polyurethane rubber include raw rubber 65-70%, filler 20-25%, vulcanizing agent 2-2.5%, and additive 4.8-6.7% by weight percentage. In the embodiment, the raw rubber adopts transparent polyether type mixed polyurethane rubber, which mainly includes a binary copolymer of polyether polyol and diphenyl methane diisocyanate; the polyether type mixed polyurethane rubber is selected, which has good plasticity on the basis of meeting the processing process requirements, and after plasticizing for a certain time, the elasticity decreases, the plasticity can be further improved, and the fluidity is improved, so that the solubility and adhesion of the subsequent rubber can be improved.

[0024] The filler selects fumed white carbon black with fine particle size, and the material composition is mainly silicon dioxide (i.e. fumed silicon dioxide); since the fumed white carbon black is a powder filler, it can cover the polyurethane rubber to a certain extent, so that it presents a semi-transparent state, and in order to avoid too much covering of the filler to the polyurethane rubber, the fumed white carbon black with particle size of 200-300 mesh is preferably adopted, since the particle size is small, it is beneficial to dispersion when mixing with the additive and the vulcanizing agent, and then mixed with the plasticated raw rubber for kneading, which can not only reduce the preparation difficulty of the semi-transparent polyurethane rubber, but also avoid the dynamic loss of the liquid additive and the vulcanizing agent in the mixing process.

[0025] In the embodiment, the vulcanizing agent is selected from 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butyl peroxy) hexane. In other embodiments, other vulcanizing agents can be used. The auxiliary agent includes 0.2-0.5% processing agent, 0.5-0.7% coupling agent, 0.3-0.5% antioxidant, 0.3-0.5% UV agent, 2.5-3% plasticizer, and 1-1.5% crosslinking agent. In the embodiment, the processing agent is selected from C 18 H 36 O2 octadecanoic acid to improve the flowability of the raw rubber, so that the rubber compound can be quickly spread during the molding process, thereby accelerating the plasticizing process of the rubber compound; the coupling agent is selected from silane coupling agent A-172 with ethenyl tri(b-methoxy ethoxy) silane as the main component to improve the viscosity of the raw rubber; the antioxidant is selected from

[0026] 0 triethylene glycol bis[β-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl phenyl) propionate] to inhibit the thermal or light effects of the components during the processing; the UV agent is selected from

[0027] ultraviolet absorber UV-P with 2-(2ˊ-hydroxy-5ˊ-methyl phenyl) benzotriazole as the main component to improve the adhesion of the subsequent rubber molding; the plasticizer is selected from plasticizer (i.e., C 26 H 48 O4) with cyclohexane 1,2-dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester as the main component to improve the flexibility and surface hardness of the rubber compound;

[0028] The crosslinking agent is selected from thermal crosslinking agent with trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate as the main component to improve the elasticity of the rubber compound and accelerate the vulcanization.

[0029] In other embodiments, other processing agents, coupling agents, antioxidants, UV agents, plasticizers, and crosslinking agents can be used.

[0030] The translucent polyurethane rubber of the embodiment uses raw rubber with high transparency as the main material, fine powder as the filler, and liquid auxiliary agent and vulcanizing agent in the preparation process, which can weaken the covering of the powder filler on the prepared polyurethane rubber and further ensure that the prepared rubber has good color transmission effect, wide application range, simple process, and low cost.

[0031]

[0032] Embodiment 2 ​

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, a flow chart of a preparation method 5 of a translucent polyurethane rubber is provided for an embodiment of the present application, which is used for preparing the translucent polyurethane rubber in embodiment 1. Specifically, the present embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0034] S1: weighing.

[0035] Specifically, the raw rubber 65-70%, the filler 20-25%, the vulcanizing agent 2-2.5%, and the auxiliary agent 4.8-6.7% are weighed according to the percentage, respectively. In the present embodiment, the components of the auxiliary agent at least include the processing agent 0.2-0.5%, the coupling agent 0.5-0.7%, the antioxidant 0.3-0.5%, the UV agent 0.3-0.5%, the plasticizer 2.5-3%, and the crosslinking auxiliary agent 1-1.5% according to the percentage. In the specific implementation of the present embodiment, the weighing of the raw materials can also be carried out according to other metering methods, such as weighing or by parts, as long as the proportion of the weighed raw materials meets the above requirements.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the raw rubber adopts the transparent polyether type mixed polyurethane rubber, which mainly includes the copolymer of polyether polyol and diphenyl methane diisocyanate. The selection of the polyether type mixed polyurethane rubber can improve the plasticity, the solubility of the subsequent rubber compound, and the adhesion of the molding, and can further improve the plasticity and the flowability after a certain time of plasticizing, thereby reducing the elasticity.

[0037] The filler selects the fumed white carbon black with a relatively fine particle size, and the material component is mainly silicon dioxide (i.e. fumed silicon dioxide). Since the fumed white carbon black is a powder filler, it can cover the polyurethane rubber to a certain extent, so that the polyurethane rubber presents a translucent state. In order to avoid that the filler covers too much polyurethane rubber, the fumed white carbon black with a particle size of 200-300 mesh is preferably used. Since the particle size is small, it is easy to disperse when mixing with the auxiliary agent and the vulcanizing agent, and then mix with the plasticized raw rubber after mixing with the auxiliary agent and the vulcanizing agent, so as to reduce the preparation difficulty of the translucent polyurethane rubber, and avoid the dynamic loss of the liquid auxiliary agent and the vulcanizing agent in the mixing process.

[0038] In the embodiment, the vulcanizing agent is mainly composed of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butyl peroxy) hexane. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the vulcanizing agent can also be selected from other components of the vulcanizing agent. The components of the auxiliary agent include at least 0.2-0.5% of processing aid, 0.5-0.7% of coupling agent, 0.3-0.5% of antioxidant, 0.3-0.5% of UV agent, 2.5-3% of plasticizer, and 1-1.5% of crosslinking aid. In the embodiment, the processing aid is mainly composed of C 18 H 36 O2 is octadecanoic acid, which is used to improve the flowability of the raw rubber, so that the rubber is easily spread during the molding process, thereby accelerating the plasticizing process of the rubber in the internal mixer; the coupling agent is mainly composed of vinyl tri(b-methoxyethoxy) silane silane coupling agent A-172, which is used to improve the viscosity of the raw rubber; the antioxidant is mainly composed of di-triethylene glycol bis[β-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl) propionate], which is used to inhibit the heat or light effect of each component during the processing; the UV agent is mainly composed of 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methylphenyl) benzotriazole ultraviolet absorber UV-P, which is used to improve the adhesion of the subsequent rubber molding; the plasticizer is mainly composed of cyclohexane 1,2-dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester plasticizer (i.e. C 26 H 48 O4), which is used to improve the flexibility and surface hardness of the rubber; the crosslinking aid is mainly composed of trimethylolpropane trimethyl acrylate thermal crosslinking agent, which is used to improve the elasticity of the rubber and accelerate the vulcanization.

[0039] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the processing aid, coupling agent, antioxidant, UV agent, plasticizer, and crosslinking aid can also be selected from other components of the processing aid, coupling agent, antioxidant, UV agent, plasticizer, and crosslinking aid.

[0040] S2: plasticizing and internal mixing.

[0041] First, the weighed raw rubber is plasticized to obtain plasticized rubber, which reduces the elasticity of the raw rubber, improves the plasticity of the plasticized rubber, reduces the viscosity of the raw rubber, improves the flowability, and further improves the solubility and molding adhesion of the rubber. In order to ensure the strength, elasticity and wear resistance of the plasticized rubber, and to reduce the power consumption of the plasticizing equipment, the plasticizing period should not be too long. In the embodiment, the plasticizing time of the raw rubber is 3-5 min, and the plasticizing temperature is not more than 100°C.

[0042] Then, the weighed fillers, vulcanizing agent and auxiliary agent are pre-mixed to make the powder-like fillers fully dissolved in the liquid vulcanizing agent and auxiliary agent, which can reduce the difficulty in preparing the translucent polyurethane rubber and avoid the dynamic loss of the liquid auxiliary agent and vulcanizing agent in the mixing process.

[0043] Finally, the mixed fillers, vulcanizing agent and auxiliary agent are added into the plasticated rubber to perform the mixing to obtain the mixed rubber; during the mixing, the fillers, vulcanizing agent and auxiliary agent can be added into the plasticated rubber at one time to reduce the power consumption of the mixing equipment caused by the batch addition. In the embodiment, the mixing time of the raw materials is 10-15 min, and the mixing temperature is not higher than 100℃.

[0044] S3: plasticating and cooling.

[0045] Specifically, the mixed rubber is automatically plasticated to continuously mix the raw materials. In the embodiment, the plasticating time of the mixed rubber is 10-15 min, and the plasticating temperature is not higher than 70℃. After the automatic plastication of the mixed rubber is completed, the mixed rubber is cooled until the cooling temperature is not higher than 40℃, to obtain the pre-formed rubber.

[0046] S4: vulcanization forming.

[0047] Specifically, the cooled pre-formed rubber is placed in a mold to perform the vulcanization forming, to obtain the translucent polyurethane rubber. In the embodiment, the vulcanization forming pressure is 180-200 kg, the vulcanization time is 200-250 s, and the vulcanization temperature is 172±5℃.

[0048] During the vulcanization forming, the hardness of the translucent polyurethane rubber is 65-72A, which is tested by using a Shore hardness tester under the vulcanization temperature of 177±3℃ for 250 s; the tensile strength of the translucent polyurethane rubber is 20-22 MPa, and the elongation rate is 300-450%, which are tested after the preheating at 121℃ for 1 min, the testing for 4 min, and the cooling for 4 hours after the secondary vulcanization at 175℃ for 2 hours under the vulcanization forming pressure of 180 kg and the vulcanization temperature of 177±3℃ for 250 s; the Mooney viscosity of the translucent polyurethane rubber is 80-90 MU, which is tested by using a Mooney viscometer under the preheating at 121℃ for 1 min and the testing for 4 min; finally, the T10 (i.e. scorch time) is 20-35 s, and the T90 (i.e. process vulcanization time) is 80-120 s, which are tested by using a rotorless vulcanization instrument, so it can be known that the translucent polyurethane rubber prepared by using the method has good fluidity, better mechanical properties, shorter vulcanization time, easy forming, and good stability.

[0049] The watchband made of the translucent polyurethane rubber prepared by the preparation method of the translucent polyurethane rubber has better color transmission effect, uniform texture and smoothness.

[0056] S303: turning and cooling.

[0057] The internal mixed rubber material is placed in a turning device at 70°C for automatic turning for 15 min to make the internal mixed rubber material continue to be fully mixed; after the automatic turning of the internal mixed rubber material is completed, the internal mixed rubber material is cooled to below 40°C to obtain preformed rubber material.

[0058] S304: vulcanization forming.

[0059] The preformed rubber after cooling is placed in a mold for vulcanization molding, the pressure for vulcanization molding is set as 180 kg, the vulcanization time is 250 s, and the vulcanization temperature is 177 ℃, and a translucent polyurethane rubber is obtained.
