Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of silicone, and relates to a low-temperature-resistant silicone rubber sealing material. BACKGROUND
[0002] Methyl vinyl silicone rubber has excellent low-temperature resistance and is applied in the fields of automobiles, medical treatment, consumer goods, etc., but cannot meet the conditions of more severe low-temperature environments. For example, the sealing material for a high-pressure hydrogen container (CHG tank) for fuel cells needs to meet the conditions of low-temperature retraction temperature TR10 < -75℃, etc. in addition to being able to withstand a pressure change of 0-70 MPa.
[0003] Patent application CN101605862A "Sealing material for high-pressure hydrogen container and high-pressure hydrogen container" discloses a high-strength sealing material with no obvious loss of low-temperature resistance, which is a phenyl silicone rubber and further includes one or more components such as ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, natural rubber, etc. The examples of the patent application claim that the material can maintain durability in a high-pressure hydrogen pressure change environment of 70 MPa or more, has a low-temperature retraction temperature TR10 < -75℃, and has good resistance to collapse. Since the material contains rubber components such as ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, which has a glass transition temperature of -40℃ to -60℃, the low-temperature retraction temperature of the final phenyl silicone rubber obtained can be at most about -75℃.
[0004] TR10 refers to stretching a test sample at a standard laboratory temperature, and then cooling to a sufficiently low temperature at which no retraction occurs when the stretching force is removed. The stretching force is removed, and the temperature is raised at a uniform rate. The temperature at which 10% retraction is reached is measured, and this temperature is TR10. The lower the temperature value of the test result, the better the low-temperature recovery performance after stretching. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the sealing problem in a severe low-temperature environment by designing a phenyl rubber composition as a sealing material. The potential application fields of the sealing material include hydrogen energy storage tank sealing, aviation sealing, aerospace sealing, etc.

[0071] Test example
[0072] Performance test method: TR10 and low temperature compression coefficient are two kinds of low temperature performance test methods, the test method is carried out according to the method recorded in GB-T-7758-2020, HG-T-3866-2008.
[0073] TR10 principle: the sample is stretched at standard laboratory temperature, then cooled to a low enough temperature that does not appear to retract when the stretching force is removed. Remove the stretching force, and increase the temperature at a uniform rate. Measure the temperature at which 10% retraction rate is reached. The lower the test result temperature value, the better the low temperature recovery performance after stretching.
[0074] Low temperature compression coefficient principle: the sample is compressed to a certain height, then it is frozen in a certain low temperature environment for a specified time, and the recovery height after a period of time is measured after removing the compression load. The larger the test result value, the better the recovery, and the better the low temperature sealing performance.
[0075] Experimental results:
[0076] Table 1 Influence of phenyl silicone rubber structure on low temperature resistance
[0077]
[0078] As can be seen from Table 1, the structure of phenyl silicone rubber has a certain influence on low temperature resistance.
[0079] (1) 1#, 5#, 6# are single phenyl schemes without phenyl, different phenyl content, and the low temperature resistance coefficient is all <0.1, indicating that after removing the load, there is almost no recovery in the quantitative time, and the elasticity is lost;
[0080] (2) 2#, 3#, 4# are all double phenyl schemes, and with the increase of phenyl content, the low temperature resistance coefficient shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing;
[0081] (3) 3#, 7#, 8#, 9# are all double phenyl schemes, and in the case of the same phenyl molar content, the molecular weight is different, and the results show that within a certain molecular weight, the higher the molecular weight of phenyl silicone rubber, the better the low temperature resistance.
[0082] Table 2 Influence of treating agent on low temperature resistance
[0083]
[0084] As can be seen from Table 2, the treating agent has a certain influence on low temperature resistance.
[0085] (1) The difference between 8#, 10#, 11# is the treating agent, and the scheme using only diphenyl silicone diol cannot be uniformly mixed, which may be because the melting point of the treating agent is too high, resulting in uneven dispersion in the system, and finally the fumed silica cannot be treated;
[0086] (2) 8#, 11# show that under the heat process, the low temperature resistance of the scheme treated by hydroxyl silicone oil and diphenyl silicone diol is better than that of the hydroxyl silicone oil alone.
[0087] Table 3 Influence of kneading process on low temperature resistance
[0088]
[0089] As can be seen from Table 3, the kneading process has a certain influence on low temperature resistance. In 11#, 12#, 13# system with 2% hydroxyl silicone oil and 2% diphenyl silicone diol as the treating agent, the two-stage heating process has the best low temperature resistance, which may be because the active hydroxyl groups on the surface of fumed silica are fully treated in situ under this process, so that fumed silica and phenyl silicone rubber and other additives are combined more fully.
