Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of butyl rubber product production, more particularly, the present application relates to a method for producing butyl rubber products by using butyl rubber capsules. BACKGROUND

[0002] The butyl rubber capsule has the characteristics of no benzene and chlorinated solvent, no pollution, small toxicity, etc. At the same time, due to the large number of regularly arranged methyl groups in the structure of butyl rubber and polyisobutylene, the sealing performance is excellent, the air permeability is low, the chemical stability is good, the weather resistance, aging resistance, ozone resistance, electrical resistance and heat resistance are excellent. Moreover, the butyl rubber capsule is recycled as part of the circular economy, turning waste into treasure, expanding the source of rubber, saving butyl rubber, and reducing product cost.

[0003] In the existing published literature, the patent with the patent number CN101560316B discloses a method for producing thin butyl rubber products by using butyl rubber capsule reclaimed rubber. The patent aims to restrict the application of butyl rubber capsule reclaimed rubber in thin butyl rubber products due to long vulcanization time. Because butyl rubber capsules are originally vulcanized with resin, after recycling, they need to be vulcanized with sulfur, which takes a long time and affects production efficiency. The butyl rubber products are cheap, have good plasticity, uniform mixing rubber quality, save labor time, and reduce power consumption. The rubber has good flowability and small thermoplasticity, is easy to maintain the original shape during molding and vulcanization, has good appearance and elasticity. However, the patent has the following defects:

[0004] According to the above method for producing butyl rubber products, water and impurities in the external air can enter the butyl rubber products during the vulcanization process, which reduces the roll pressing adhesion strength of the butyl rubber products, resulting in poor tensile resistance of the butyl rubber products. Therefore, a method for producing butyl rubber products by using butyl rubber capsules is needed. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present application provides a method for producing butyl rubber products by using butyl rubber capsules.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solution: a method for producing butyl rubber products by using butyl rubber capsules, comprising the following specific steps:

[0007] Step one, when selecting materials, butyl rubber capsule reclaimed rubber 100-150 parts, ternary ethylene-propylene reclaimed rubber 5-15 parts, zinc oxide 3-5 parts, carbon fiber powder 50-80 parts, copper powder 40-60 parts, talc powder 8-12 parts, vulcanizing agent 20-30 parts, reinforcing agent 1-1.8 parts, styrene-diene emulsion copolymer glue 160-170 parts;

[0021] Preferably, the drying in step five uses microwave drying at 50-60 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes. The moisture content of the vulcanized mixture A is detected every 1 minute using a moisture instrument.

[0022] Preferably, the vulcanizing agent is a mixture of sulfur monochloride, magnesium oxide, pentaerythritol, and tetraalkylthiuram disulfide (TRA).

[0023] Preferably, the reinforcing agent is chlorinated polyethylene, which is a high molecular weight material obtained by chlorination substitution reaction of high density polyethylene.

[0024] Preferably, the number of visual sensors in step eight is set to three, and the three visual sensors are arranged in equal intervals from bottom to top on one side of the middle roller.

After filling for 5-10 minutes, nitrogen is switched to be introduced, and the entire helium inlet is closed. The temperature is 100-120 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 5-10 MPa. Insulation and pressure maintenance for 10-20 minutes can complete the preparation of the vulcanized mixture A; Step 5: When retaining moisture, the vulcanized mixture A is placed in a dryer. After drying, the moisture content of the outer portion of the vulcanized mixture A is 7-12%, and the moisture content of the inner portion of the vulcanized mixture A is 10-12%, ensuring that the vulcanized mixture A has sufficient adhesion. Step 6: During rolling, the vulcanized mixture A is placed in a rolling press for rough refining, and the roller spacing is 8-12 mm and the silver cylinder temperature is 40-50 degrees Celsius. The rough-refined mixture A is then transported to the fine refining position, the silver cylinder temperature is set to 60-70 degrees Celsius and the roller spacing is adjusted to 5-6 mm, and rolled 5-10 times to produce the rolled rubber; Step 7: During the dipping process, the pressed rubber is placed in a dipping box, and a flattening machine is used to squeeze the upper surface of the pressed rubber at a pressure of 5-6 MPa, so that the pressed rubber is squeezed flat and adhered to the inner wall of the dipping box. Then, the styrene-butadiene emulsified copolymer glue is poured into the dipping box, and the depth of the styrene-butadiene emulsified copolymer glue needs to cover the upper surface of the pressed rubber. The dipping waiting time is 30-50 minutes. When the waiting time is up, the finished dipped rubber product can be made. Step 8: During sheeting, the finished rubber product is placed in a four-roller sheet press. Glue is supplied between the upper and middle rollers, and the sheet is discharged between the middle roller and the lower roller. A visual sensor is used to check in real time whether there are problems with glue accumulation and bubbles on the sheet. If any, the image database is immediately compared and an alarm is issued to the operator. The problem is resolved within 5-10 minutes, and then a profile roller is used to roll the sheeted rubber into a specified shape and pattern to prepare a rubber strip. Step 9: During the molding process, heat the positioning mold to 150-180 degrees Celsius and place the rubber strip into the positioning mold. As the positioning mold rolls, it can limit and squeeze the left and right sides of the rubber strip to ensure that the rubber strip is discharged according to the specified width of 20-40 cm and the specified thickness of 5-10 mm. The butyl rubber product can be prepared.
