Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of rubber flocculation, and in particular to a low-Mooney high-performance natural rubber and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a biopolymer material, natural rubber contains other trace groups in addition to the main cis-isoprene structure on its molecular chain. It is these trace groups that lead to the unpredictability of the performance of natural rubber compared to synthetic rubber, such as storage Mooney increase, hardening phenomenon, vulcanization acceleration effect, supramolecular network structure, etc.

[0003] As an industrial raw material, natural rubber has excellent performance and is difficult to replace. Modern processing technology generally uses it with additives and other rubbers, vulcanizes it to strengthen or adjust its various properties, and before producing products, it needs to be subjected to steps such as open and closed mixing by machines.

[0004] Due to the high Mooney viscosity of natural rubber, there are two problems when processing it in the laboratory or factory:

[0005] 1. Excessively high Mooney value of natural rubber often leads to processing difficulties. Not only does the energy consumption of open and closed mixers increase, but small and medium-sized machines are also accompanied by BAS risks. In addition, high Mooney rubber can easily lead to uneven dispersion of fillers and additives. Therefore, in factory production, it is necessary to perform plasticizing and other operations to reduce the Mooney value before adding other rubbers, additives, fillers and other series of formulas, resulting in high production costs and low efficiency.

[0006] 2. The Mooney value of synthetic rubber is generally lower than that of natural rubber. When high and low Mooney rubbers are used together, compatibility problems are likely to occur. Obvious stratification is likely to occur at the molecular level, and the degree of filler dispersion is greatly affected. Such phenomena will lead to excessive loss of formula performance.

[0007] At present, the production of low Mooney natural rubber is mainly based on low Mooney constant viscosity, that is, to keep the Mooney value change small. The traditional process is to add additional compounds such as amines, thiols and hydrazine hydrates when flocculating natural rubber to prevent rubber molecules from generating aldehyde groups and self-polymerization. The Mooney value of this constant viscosity low Mooney natural rubber is between 50-60, which can maintain a small change in the Mooney value for a long time. However, according to research, it has an adverse effect on the tensile properties of natural rubber. The greater the amount used, the more obvious this adverse effect is. The tensile strength and elongation at break show a fluctuating downward trend. In addition, the use of hydroxylamine, thiol and hydrazine hydrate compounds in the aqueous phase is not environmentally friendly, and there is also the disadvantage of high cost.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a natural rubber with both low Mooney and excellent physical properties is an urgent problem to be solved by researchers in the current relevant technical field. Summary of the invention

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the invention object of the first aspect of the present application is to provide a low Mooney high-performance natural rubber, which has the characteristics of low Mooney value and excellent physical properties.

[0010] The second aspect of the invention of the present application aims to provide a method for preparing low-Mooney high-performance natural rubber, which can be used to prepare natural rubber with excellent performance. At the same time, the raw materials are environmentally friendly and easy to obtain, less materials are required, and the cost does not increase.

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0012] The invention provides a low Mooney high-performance natural rubber, which is prepared from the following components: fresh latex, decomposing enzyme and flocculant;

[0013] Based on the mass of the fresh latex, the mass of the decomposition enzyme is 0.05% to 0.5% of the mass of the dry rubber of the fresh latex, and the decomposition enzyme includes at least one of a protease or a phospholipase;

[0014] The mass ratio of the fresh latex to the flocculant is: 100:(0.3-2.0), and the flocculant is a cationic quaternary ammonium salt.

[0015] Preferably, the flocculant is selected from at least one of polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride, acrylamide / dimethyldiallylammonium chloride copolymer, pyridinium quaternary ammonium salt type cationic polyacrylamide, modified urea-formaldehyde resin quaternary ammonium salt, dicyandiamide / epichlorohydrin polymer, dicyandiamide / formaldehyde polymer, and dimethylamine / epichlorohydrin polymer.

[0016] Preferably, the flocculant consists of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride and dimethylamine / epichlorohydrin polymer.

[0017] Preferably, the decomposing enzyme comprises protease and phospholipase, and the mass ratio of the protease to the phospholipase is 5:1.

[0018] Preferably, the protease is alkaline protease and the phospholipase is phospholipase D.

[0019] The present invention also provides a method for preparing any of the above-mentioned low Mooney high-performance natural rubbers, comprising the following steps:

[0020] S1. The decomposing enzyme is added to the fresh latex, stirred, and the fresh latex is hydrolyzed to obtain the first latex;

[0021] S2. adding a flocculant to the first latex, stirring, and allowing to stand to obtain a latex clot;

[0022] S3. The latex coagulates are fished out, creped, granulated, washed with water, and dried after dripping to obtain natural rubber.

[0023] Preferably, in S1, the step of adding the decomposing enzyme to the fresh latex comprises:

[0024] The decomposition enzyme is added to water to prepare a decomposition enzyme aqueous solution.

[0025] Preferably, in the aqueous solution of decomposing enzyme, the mass fraction of the decomposing enzyme is 10%.

[0026] Preferably, the activity of the degrading enzyme is at least 100,000 u / g.

[0027] Preferably, the dry rubber content of the fresh latex is 17-50wt%, and the ammonia content is within 0.5wt%.

[0028] Based on the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0029] 1. A low-Mooney high-performance natural rubber provided by the present invention is prepared by including fresh latex, decomposing enzyme and flocculant. Among them, the decomposing enzyme is used to enzymolyze latex, eliminate rubber supramolecular network nodes, and reduce the density of latex molecular network. The flocculant adopts quaternary ammonium salt flocculant, and the amine hydrogen bonds carried have the function of shielding the α, ω terminal hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds exposed after enzymolysis, which can prevent the latex from generating cross-linking points again after enzymolysis. The amine groups carried by the flocculant can react with natural rubber to generate aldehyde groups, and can also prevent the Mooney viscosity from being greatly increased. That is, the flocculant plays the role of latex flocculation and separation, and reaction of natural rubber molecules, achieving the effect of reducing the density of supramolecular gel network. Therefore, the natural rubber provided by the present invention greatly reduces the Mooney value, while maintaining the advantages in mechanical properties, which is conducive to solving the problems of high cost and low efficiency caused by high rubber damping in industrial production processes.

[0030] 2. The present invention provides a method for preparing a low-Mooney high-performance natural rubber, which prepares a natural rubber with low Mooney and excellent physical properties through the reaction of fresh latex, decomposing enzyme and flocculant. The method uses a small number of raw materials, which are easy to obtain and help reduce the cost of raw materials. In addition, the raw materials used in the preparation method are environmentally friendly and not easy to cause pollution. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0097] As can be seen from Table 1, the Mooney values ​​of the natural rubber obtained in Examples 1-8 are 30-65, which are significantly smaller than those of the natural rubber obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 4.
