Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cable materials, and in particular to a high-strength ethylene-propylene insulating material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The shuttle car is a coal transport car that moves back and forth between the coal mining face and the conveyor belt in a coal mine. One end of the shuttle car cable is connected to the shuttle car, and the other end is connected to the power supply. As the shuttle car moves, the shuttle car cable is always in a cyclical motion state of being wound and straightened. The shuttle car cable may be scratched by the well wall or hit by coal blocks, and is often crushed. For these reasons, the shuttle car cable is very easy to be damaged and cause shutdown.

[0003] Patents with application numbers 201320269066.1 and 201510479989.3 both disclose the structure of shuttle cables, but the patents both increase the flexibility and tensile strength of the cables by adding a reinforcing core inside the shuttle cables. In order to increase the service life of the shuttle cables, in addition to changing the cable structure composition, material composition, and process improvements of the shuttle cables in the prior art, increasing the tensile strength of the existing cable insulation and sheath is also one of the methods to increase the service life of the shuttle cables. The prior art method to increase the insulation strength of EPDM is to use EPDM materials with high ethylene content or to use white carbon black for reinforcement. The hardness of EPDM insulation increases and the elongation decreases, resulting in an increase in the hardness of the finished cable insulation, which is easy to break; the increase in the hardness of EPDM insulation also makes it difficult to extrude the insulation, which is easy to cause scorching and extrusion of cooked glue. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present application provides a high-strength EPDM insulation material and its preparation method and application, aiming to solve the technical problem that the tensile strength and softness of the insulation material on the surface of the shuttle cable cannot be satisfied at the same time.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a high-strength ethylene-propylene insulation material, which comprises the following components by weight: 100 parts of ethylene propylene rubber; 4-8 parts of processing aids; 20-30 parts of metal oxide; 60-100 parts of ultrafine modified aluminum silicate, The ultrafine modified aluminum silicate is ultrafine aluminum silicate modified by a silane coupling agent; 8-15 parts of softening aid; 5-8 parts of vulcanization accelerator; 2-4 parts of anti-aging agent.

Since the silane coupling agent is adsorbed on the surface of the newly generated particles, the growth of the particles is affected, the surface tension of the particles is reduced, and the agglomeration between the particles is weakened, the apparent particle size of the aluminum silicate can be effectively reduced, so that the aluminum silicate obtains a high specific surface area, so that it can be better dispersed in the EPDM.

Before ultrafine aluminum silicate modification, the powder is a mesh porous structure, which can absorb a large number of water molecules. After surface modification, some water molecules are replaced by silane coupling agent, and the hydrolysis functional groups in silane coupling agent form Si-OH after hydrolysis. These Si-OH groups can condense with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of ultrafine aluminum silicate to form stable chemical bonds, so that ultrafine aluminum silicate changes from metastable state to stable state, thereby enhancing the thermal stability of modified ultrafine aluminum silicate; and ultrafine aluminum silicate modified by silane coupling agent is easily wetted by rubber during mixing, exerting a good reinforcement effect, and improving vulcanization efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the EPDM rubber is Dow 4725P.

Mix EPDM rubber, processing aid, metal oxide, ultrafine modified aluminum silicate, softening aid and anti-aging aid for 6-8 min, and discharge at 130-140℃; S2, after cooling to 60~80℃, filter, roll and place for not less than 48h, mix with vulcanization accelerator, mix for 4~6 min, and discharge at 110℃; S3.

[0020] Different from the existing technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this application include: The present application improves the existing EPDM insulation formula of shuttle cables, introduces ultrafine modified aluminum silicate into the EPDM insulation formula, and optimizes the selection and ratio of each raw material, thereby improving the tensile strength of the EPDM insulation material while maintaining a high elongation at break, thereby improving the cable's tensile resistance, bending resistance, winding resistance, extrusion resistance and other properties, improving the mechanical strength and flexibility of the shuttle cable, and extending the service life of the shuttle cable.

[0051] 2. Test Method 1. Mechanical properties test method before aging The finished cable is sampled, a section of insulation is cut off to make a test sample, the test sample is made into a dumbbell piece, the sample thickness is about 1mm, the dumbbell piece thickness is input on the intelligent tensile testing machine, and five dumbbell pieces are tested in a group. The test result takes the middle value of tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0052] 2. Test method for mechanical property change rate before and after aging Sampling of finished cable products, cutting a section of insulation to make a test sample, the test sample is made into a dumbbell piece, the test sample thickness is about 1mm, a group of five dumbbell pieces are formed before and after aging, and the dumbbell pieces after aging are placed in an aging air box at 135℃. After aging for 168h, the thickness of the dumbbell pieces before and after aging are input on the intelligent tensile testing machine, and a group of five dumbbell pieces are tested before and after aging. The test result takes the middle value of tensile strength and elongation at break, (tensile strength before aging - tensile strength before aging / tensile strength before aging) * 100% = tensile strength change rate; (elongation at break before aging - elongation at break before aging / elongation at break before aging) * 100% = elongation at break change rate %.

[0053] 3. Electrical performance test method The insulating EPDM mixed rubber was vulcanized on a flat vulcanizer at 180°C for 5 minutes to make a test piece with a thickness of about 1mm and a diameter of about 110mm. The volume resistivity was tested by a volume resistivity tester at room temperature of 20°C.

[0054] III. Analysis of test results of various embodiments and comparative examples The tensile strength, elongation at break and 20°C volume resistivity of the EPDM insulation materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 were tested, and then the tensile strength and elongation at break of the aged EPDM insulation materials were tested after aging for 168 hours at 135°C in an air box. The test data are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 Test data of ethylene-propylene insulation materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 before and after aging

[0055] The existing technology generally has a tensile strength of EPDM insulation of 6-8 N / mm 2 As can be seen from Table 1, the tensile strength of the EPDM insulation material prepared in Examples 1 to 3 of the present application is between 14 and 16 N / mm 2 , and maintains the softness and high insulation performance of the EPDM insulation material itself, achieves more than double the tensile strength, and maintains a high elongation at break and tensile strength after aging, achieving the goal of prolonging the life of the shuttle cable.

[0056] In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, ultrafine talcum powder and unmodified ultrafine aluminum silicate are used instead of ultrafine modified aluminum silicate to prepare EPDM insulation materials. It can be seen from Table 1 that the tensile strength of the EPDM insulation materials before aging is much lower than that of Example 2, indicating that the ultrafine modified aluminum silicate in the present application is easily wetted by the rubber during mixing after being modified by a silane coupling agent, and exerts a good reinforcement effect; the tensile strength and elongation at break of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 after aging are significantly reduced compared with Example 2, indicating that ultrafine modified aluminum silicate can improve the stability of ultrafine aluminum silicate, thereby making the prepared EPDM insulation rubber more stable; the volume resistance in Comparative Example 1 is also lower than that in Example 2, indicating that the ultrafine modified aluminum silicate can maintain a high volume resistance of the formula.

[0057] The content of ultrafine modified aluminum silicate in Comparative Example 3 is too low, resulting in insufficient tensile strength of the EPDM insulation material; the content of ultrafine modified aluminum silicate in Comparative Example 4 is too high, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength and elongation at break of the EPDM insulation material, and a significant decrease in anti-aging ability, indicating that the optimal addition amount of ultrafine modified aluminum silicate in this application is 60 to 100 parts.

[0058] It should be noted that the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. The above-mentioned embodiments are only examples, and the embodiments having the same structure as the technical idea and exerting the same effect within the scope of the technical solution of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present application.
