Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials and their production technology, specifically to a single-component, high-adhesion, alcohol-free, room-temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] One-component condensation-type room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant (also known as one-component condensation-type room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber) is the most common and widely used type of room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant. Due to its ease of use, it is widely applied in construction, automotive, electronics, machinery, chemical, and light industry sectors. One-component condensation-type room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant can be classified according to the crosslinking agent into ketoxime-free, alcohol-free, acetone-free, and amide-free types. Currently, the ketoxime-free and alcohol-free types are the main types of one-component room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant used in engineering applications.

[0003] Adhesion is the most important concern for the application of one-component condensation-type room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealants. According to literature reports, existing one-component condensation-type room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant solutions do not address the adhesion of fluoroplastics, fluororubbers, and fluorosilicone rubbers, which have high surface inertness and low surface energy. Theoretically, achieving good adhesion to these materials should also be difficult. This may be due to two reasons: firstly, silicone sealants themselves are debonding, resulting in varying adhesion to different substrates; secondly, fluoroplastics, fluororubbers, and fluorosilicone rubbers have extremely low surface activity, making them difficult to bond and technically challenging.

[0004] Existing literature and patents have extensively studied the bonding of polyolefin materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride with single-component condensation-type room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealants, which are relatively difficult to bond. The main methods include: (1) using a combination of multiple silanes or condensation polymers, such as patent CN102277126A, which uses multiple aminosilanes to achieve good bonding of polypropylene; and using mercaptoalkoxysilanes and polyisocyanates as tackifiers to achieve good bonding of polypropylene (Elastic Sealants and Adhesives [M]. Huang Yingchang, Lü Zhengyun. Beijing). : Chemical Industry Press, 2003: 358); A condensation silane containing amino and epoxy groups is used as a tackifier to achieve good adhesion to polyvinyl chloride (Elastic sealant and adhesive [M]. Huang Yingchang, Lü Zhengyun. Beijing: Chemical Industry Press, 2003: 320); (2) The tackifier system of 1,3,5-tris(trimethoxysilylpropyl) polyisocyanate can achieve adhesion performance to a variety of substrates (Huang Wenrun, Preparation of single-component room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber (X), Organosilicon Materials, 2004, 18(1): 35-39).

[0005] However, the methods described above are not suitable for bonding more difficult-to-bond fluoroplastics, fluororubbers, and fluorosilicone rubbers. Patent CN114958291A utilizes highly reactive γ-aminopropylbutanone oxime silanes to produce deketoxime-type and dealcohol-type room-temperature vulcanizing silicone sealants with good adhesion to fluoroplastics, fluororubbers, and fluorosilicone rubbers with high surface inertness and low surface energy. For the dealcohol-type room-temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant, hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane is used as the raw material. However, this prior art cannot solve the problem of long-term storage stability (short product shelf life, at most 6 months). Summary of the Invention

[0042] (1) Preparation of terminal dimethoxyaminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane

[0043] First, in a vacuum reactor, 1 part tetramethylammonium hydroxide and 100 parts dimethylcyclotetrasiloxane were reacted under vacuum at 60°C for 3.5 h to remove the generated water, thus preparing an alkaline gel catalyst. Then, in the same vacuum reactor, 100 parts of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (viscosity 10540 mPa·s) were dehydrated under vacuum at 100°C for 3.0 h.

[0044] In a vacuum reactor, 100 parts of dehydrated hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, 0.4 parts of alkaline gel catalyst, and 3 parts of aminopropyltrimethoxysilane were reacted under vacuum at 60°C for 3.0 h; then the temperature was raised to 140°C to destroy the alkaline gel catalyst, and low molecular weight compounds were removed under vacuum to obtain hydroxyl-terminated aminopropylpolydimethylsiloxane.

[0045] The viscosity of the prepared terminal dimethoxyaminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane was 10860 mPa·s. When 100 parts of the prepared terminal dimethoxyaminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane were mixed with 1 part of tetrabutyl titanate, the viscosity remained almost unchanged during the mixing process, indicating that the end-capping rate was close to 100%.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] Except for the following steps, and the raw material components and dosages according to Table 1, the same operation as in Example 1 was performed to prepare a single-component high-adhesion de-alcoholized room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant.

[0056] Hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 12940 mPa·s was used as the raw material, and aminopropyltrimethoxysilane was replaced with aminopropyltriethoxysilane to prepare terminally ethoxyaminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 13250 mPa·s. When 100 parts of the prepared terminally ethoxyaminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane were mixed with 1 part of tetrabutyl titanate, the viscosity remained almost unchanged during the mixing process, indicating that the end-capping rate was close to 100%.

[0057] Example 5

[0058] Except for the following steps, and the raw material components and dosages according to Table 1, the same operation as in Example 4 was performed to prepare a single-component high-adhesion de-alcoholized room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant.

When 100 parts of the prepared diethoxyaminopropylpolydimethylsiloxane were mixed with 1 part of tetrabutyl titanate, the viscosity remained almost unchanged during the mixing process, indicating that the end-capping rate was close to 100%.

[0060] Comparative Examples 1-5

[0061] Except for the raw material components and dosages as per Table 1, the same procedure as in Example 3 was followed to prepare a dealcohol-type room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant.

[0062] Experimental Example

[0063] Performance tests were conducted on the room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealants prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-5. First, standard test pieces of the room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealants were prepared using a polytetrafluoroethylene mold according to HB 5246. Then, hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, and 180° peel strength were tested. Hardness, tensile strength, and elongation at break were tested again after one year of storage at room temperature. Specifically: the hardness of the room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant was tested according to GB / T 531-1999; the tensile strength and elongation at break were tested according to GB / T 528-2008; and the 180° peel strength was tested according to HB 5249-1993. The test results are shown in Table 2. The loss factor of the room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant at -50℃ to 200℃ was tested using the single cantilever beam method (at a frequency of 2.0Hz). The test results are shown in Table 2. Figure 1 As shown.

[0064] Table 2 Performance test results of room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant

[0065]

[0066]

[0067] As shown in Table 2, the de-alcoholized silicone sealant prepared using terminal dialkoxyaminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane as the base adhesive exhibits good adhesion to substrates that are extremely difficult to bond, such as fluoroplastics, fluororubbers, and fluorosilicone rubbers, while also possessing excellent storage stability. Figure 1 It can be seen that the loss factor of the silicone sealant of the present invention is higher than 0.1 in the range of -50℃ to 200℃, which indicates that the silicone sealant has excellent damping and vibration reduction performance over a wide temperature range.
