Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of rubber, further relates to a preparation method of sealant and the sealant. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to solve the problems of easy tire burst when traditional tire leaks and expensive but poor performance of run-flat tire, Michelin, Hankook, Kumho and other tire manufacturers began to research tire sealant. The core of the tire technology with self-repairing function is a layer of self-sealing glue with "memory function" uniformly coated on the inner wall of the tire. The layer of self-sealing glue not only has good stress response viscoelasticity, air tightness, tensile strength and aging resistance, but also can still maintain good viscosity and adhesion to the inner layer of the tire under high and low temperature conditions (-40℃-120℃). However, the current self-repairing tire has the problems of diffusion of the adhered self-sealing glue to the periphery (viscosity problem) and local self-sealing glue falling off from the surface of the tire (adhesion problem) during use.
[0003] US9556329B2 discloses a method for preparing self-repairing material. First, a diene solid rubber is mixed with 30 parts of resin above the softening point of the resin by using an internal mixer, and then a crosslinking system is added in the internal mixer or a single screw extruder, and mixed again at 100℃. Thus, the self-repairing rubber material is prepared. The method only uses a small amount of resin in the formula system, and does not use liquid rubber. The viscosity of the obtained self-repairing material is high, which makes it difficult to coat on the inner layer of the tire, and it is difficult to ensure the adhesion and flow properties of the self-repairing material. Therefore, it has not been commercialized.
[0004] The self-repairing tire sealant of the prior art has the disadvantages of high viscosity of the self-sealing glue, poor flowability, poor high temperature resistance, easy softening of the glue and poor strength of the glue after temperature rise, and poor adhesion of the self-sealing glue, which can cause glue falling off, turning up, displacement and glue accumulation during tire running. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sealant with better performance. SUMMARY

[0052] The single-screw feeding extruder used is preferably provided with a forced compression device, and the compression ratio of the single-screw extruder is preferably 1.05-2.5 and the temperature is preferably 50-100℃.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0058] By comparing and analyzing the current self-sealing adhesive products and the disclosed technical means, the key problems of the self-sealing adhesive products are: high viscosity, poor flowability, poor high temperature resistance, easy to cause the softening of the adhesive and the deterioration of the adhesive strength after temperature rise, and reduce the adhesion of the adhesive; in addition, the adhesion of the self-sealing adhesive is poor, and the tire will produce adhesive falling, turning, displacement and adhesive accumulation during driving. In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present application firstly adds a large amount of liquid polyisobutylene PIB with good air tightness, good flowability and good compatibility with the rubber matrix in the formula system design, to ensure that the self-sealing adhesive still has good flowability and sealing property under low temperature condition; the crosslinking system is added in the formula, so that the self-sealing adhesive is micro-crosslinked during spraying, and a certain degree of network structure is formed, so that the self-sealing adhesive will not flow under high temperature condition; in addition, tackifying resin is added in the formula system to improve the adhesion property, and carbon black / white carbon black reinforcing agent and antioxidant are added to ensure the tensile strength and anti-aging property of the self-sealing adhesive. The self-sealing adhesive attached to the tire surface spreads to the surrounding, and the viscosity problem; the local self-sealing adhesive falls off from the tire surface, and the adhesion problem.
[0059] In addition, the sealant must be evenly coated on the inside of the tire, and the sealant product has no obvious particles, no bubbles, which is the premise of realizing the uniform coating of the sealant, that is, to ensure that the sealant is a homogeneous system. Because more than 120 parts of PIB liquid are designed to be added in the formula system, and the traditional rubber processing equipment such as the internal mixer and the open mill is difficult to mix and process the large amount of liquid and solid masterbatch, for example, adding a large amount of liquid in the internal mixer will cause slipping phenomenon and is difficult to process, and even the material cannot be discharged from the internal mixer. The present application adopts the linkage mixing equipment of single screw extruder and twin screw extruder for the formula system, and matches the appropriate process. First, on the basis of computer simulation calculation, the solid mixing masterbatch is formed by the design combination of screw elements to form multiple changes in flow direction and flow rate, and a twin screw extruder suitable for rubber mixing extrusion is designed, and through the control of screw configuration and combination, temperature control of each section, temperature control of solid masterbatch and liquid PIB, and control of the addition amount of liquid PIB in the running process of the mixing masterbatch, the uniform mixing of high-ratio liquid and solid mixing masterbatch is finally realized; through the viscosity change research of the solid mixing masterbatch under different temperature and time conditions, the solid mixing masterbatch is preheated to the appropriate viscosity in the first single screw extruder; through the research on the influence of different PIB liquid addition amount on the viscosity of mixing masterbatch with different viscosity and temperature, the uniform dispersion of PIB liquid in the continuous phase of the mixing masterbatch in the mixing process, and the controllable technology research on viscosity evolution and uniformity distribution in the extrusion process, the screw element combination of the feeding and conveying premixing section of the twin screw extruder is simulated to make the uniform mixing and dispersion of a large amount of liquid in the rubber continuous phase during the running process of the solid mixing masterbatch, gradually change the viscosity gradient and compatibility, and eliminate the existence of solid particles; at the same time, in the mixing and mixing section of the twin screw extruder, the distribution and mixing of the material are further realized to form a homogeneous system; in the exhaust extrusion section, on the one hand, the screw mixing is used while reducing the screw groove depth, and the material is discharged by the way of mixing and exhausting; on the other hand, in the material discharge section, by increasing the lead and groove depth of the screw element, the material internal gas and the dynamic gas wrapped in the material conveying are further extracted from the outside by vacuumizing.
[0060] In addition, the whole preparation process of the present application is simple, the existing rubber mixing equipment is still used in the preparation stage of the mixed master batch, no new equipment investment is needed, the series screw extruder set of the single screw feeding pretreatment extruder and the double screw mixing exhaust extruder is used in the mixed master batch and liquid mixing and mixing stage, the time is short, the efficiency is high, the process is continuous and automatic, the labor is saved, and the production process is stable and controllable. Finally, the sealant product obtained by using the present application is not only uniformly mixed, particle-free and bubble-free, which is beneficial to the next coating process, but also has excellent performance after being coated on the inner wall of the tire: under low temperature conditions, it still has good flowability and adhesion strength to the tire; under high temperature conditions, it still has good aging resistance and tensile strength without softening and flowing.
