Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical engineering, in particular to a polymer type superdispersant and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dispersants are substances that promote the uniform dispersion of material particles in the medium. Polymer dispersants, also known as multifunctional pigment dispersants, are the most commonly used dispersants. They are divided into polycaprolactone polyol-polyethyleneimine block copolymer dispersants, acrylate polymer dispersants, polyurethane or polyester polymer dispersants, etc. Their polymer chain segments can entangle with medium molecules and have multiple anchor groups that can firmly bind to the surface of pigment particles.

[0003] Dispersants are widely used in printing and dyeing, textile, papermaking and other industries in industrial production. As a representative of anionic dispersants, acrylic dispersants are widely used in various fields due to their environmental friendliness. Since the hydrophilic groups of traditional dispersants are generally designed only to have a certain affinity with water, the purpose in many applications is to meet the needs of forming capsules together with the lipophilic groups. The consideration of its adsorption fastness on the particle surface is often placed in a secondary position. Therefore, the hydrophilic groups in the molecular structure are easy to desorb and cause the particles to re-flocculate. The lipophilic groups of traditional dispersants are generally hydrocarbon chain structures, mainly alkane chains. Although they have good compatibility with non-polar and low-grade organic solvents and can be fully extended, because their chain length is too short, the thickness of the adsorption layer formed is also very limited, and it cannot produce enough space to resist the repulsive force to make the particles evenly dispersed, and the dispersion effect is poor. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to design a polymer type super dispersant and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is a polymer type super dispersant and a preparation method thereof, wherein the preparation raw materials include aminosulfonic acid, propylene glycol, urea, ethanol, aminoethanesulfonic acid, HDI trimer, triethylamine, polyol, acetone, and ethylenediamine.

[0008] Step 2: Preparation of intermediate products;

[0009] Step 3: Preparation of PUD emulsion.

[0010] As a further description of the technical solution, in the step 1, aminosulfonic acid and propylene glycol are added to a three-necked flask in a certain molar ratio, and then 5wt% (calculated based on the total mass of the system) of urea is added as a catalyst, a stirring device and a condensing water device are installed, and the bottle mouth is closed for sulfuric acid esterification reaction.

[0011] As a further description of the technical solution, the sulfation reaction is carried out at 120°C for 4 hours to obtain a crude product; the crude product is added to ethanol and stirred to remove unreacted propylene glycol, and then the crude product is dissolved in methanol, allowed to stand, and the aminosulfonic acid insoluble in methanol is filtered out, and the filtrate is subjected to reduced pressure distillation at 40°C to remove the solvent to obtain yellow-brown 1,2-dihydroxy-3-propyl ammonium sulfonate.

[0012] As a further description of the technical solution, 1,2-dihydroxy-3-propyl ammonium sulfonate is dissolved in water, heated to 40°C, and 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution is added dropwise until pH = 7 to obtain pure 1,2-dihydroxy-3-propyl sodium sulfonate, and the generated ammonia is absorbed by aqueous hydrochloric acid solution.

[0013] As a further description of the technical solution, the reaction equation of pure 1,2-dihydroxy-3-propyl sodium sulfonate is as follows:

[0014]

[0015] As a further description of the technical solution, in the step 2, aminoethanesulfonic acid and HDI trimer are premixed at 50° C. for 20 minutes, triethylamine is added using a constant pressure dropping funnel (2-3s / d), and under nitrogen protection, aminoethanesulfonic acid, HDI trimer, and triethylamine are added to a four-necked flask equipped with a condensing reflux device, a thermometer, a mechanical stirrer, and a nitrogen inlet and outlet.

[0016] As a further description of the technical solution, in step 2, the system is heated to 90°C for 4 hours, and the reaction is stopped when the NCO of the system reaches the theoretical value. After the reaction is completed, the system is kept warm and vacuumed for 15 minutes, and then the system is cooled to room temperature and discharged to obtain an intermediate product.

[0017] As a further description of the technical solution, in step three, the polyol is added to a four-necked flask, and the four interfaces of the flask are respectively equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, a reflux condenser and a nitrogen inlet and outlet, and then the electric heating jacket is used to heat to 120°C, and the water pump is turned on to pump water for 1 hour.

[0018] As a further description of the present technical solution, in the step three, after the water is pumped out, wait for cooling to room temperature, add the intermediate product and an appropriate amount of acetone to the flask at one time, adjust to a suitable stirring speed, react and stir at room temperature for half an hour, keep the reaction temperature at 65°C, and react until the -NCO content reaches the theoretical value (determined by n-butylamine titration method) to obtain a prepolymer with NCO as the end, add a certain amount of acetone to the reaction system while hot to reduce the viscosity of the system, and quickly add 1,2-dihydroxy-3-propyl ester sulfonate sodium solution and ethylenediamine aqueous solution to the reaction system; adjust the stirring speed, add water to the reaction system, and then a phase inversion occurs to obtain a PUD emulsion; finally, remove a large amount of acetone in the reaction system by reduced pressure distillation to obtain the final PUD emulsion, that is, a polymer-type hyperdispersant.

[0019] The beneficial effect is that the polymer superdispersant of the present technical solution has improved solvation ability and steric hindrance compared with ordinary superdispersants, avoids the attraction and agglomeration of dispersed particles, and has a better dispersion effect. The superdispersant prepared by the present preparation method has improved particle adsorption capacity. At the same time, the complex spatial structure can produce greater steric hindrance, so that the particles can be effectively dispersed, not easily aggregated, and maintain a stable dispersion state.

[0049] Performance Testing

[0050] The dispersants of Examples 1 to 3, the dispersants of Comparative Examples 1 to 2, and a commercially available high-efficiency dispersant competitor (purchased from Jinan Baoda Dye Chemical Co., Ltd., brand NNO BD-10) were used.

[0051] Preparation of dye dispersion: Different dispersants were mixed with disperse blue 79 in a mass ratio of 2:8 and ball milled with agate beads at a rate of 400 r·min-1 for 4 h at a pH value of 5.0-6.0.

[0052] Dispersion stability test method: The dye dispersion obtained by ball milling is prepared into a 0.1% suspension, and its particle size is measured by scanning with a laser particle size and shape analyzer (EyeTech-Laser model produced by Ankersmid Company of the Netherlands).

[0053] Test method for fiber staining effect: prepare 100mL of 10g / L dispersant sample solution, pH 4.5-5.0, 1g of polyester fiber, heat to 130℃ at 1℃ / min and keep for 30min, rinse with tap water and dry, use blank sample as reference, and use Datacolor to test the whiteness value of polyester fiber treated with different dispersants (the larger the whiteness value, the lighter the stain).

[0054] Storage stability: The dye dispersion obtained by ball milling was stored at 55°C to observe whether it was stratified.

[0055] The specific test results are shown in Table 1

[0056] Table 1 Performance of each comparative example

[0057]

[0058]

[0059] Note: (1) The smaller the dispersion stability value, the smaller the particle size and the better the dispersion.

[0060] (2) The larger the whiteness value, the lighter the stain on the fiber.

[0061] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the liquid disperse dye dispersed by the dispersant of the technical solution has the advantages of small particle size and no contamination to fibers, and at the same time significantly improves the storage stability of the product.

[0062] The above technical solutions only reflect the preferred technical solutions of the technical solutions of the present invention.
