Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of shoe sole material, in particular to a preparation method of light rubber shoe sole. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand for the performance of shoe products, the research and production technology of rubber soles has been continuously improved. Rubber soles are usually made of rubber materials such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, etc., and various fillers and additives such as carbon black, plasticizer, vulcanizing agent, etc., through mixing, calendering, molding, vulcanization and other processes, so the process flow is relatively complex.

[0003] Moreover, there are still some quality problems in the current rubber soles that are difficult to overcome. First of all, traditional rubber soles are prone to cracking, wear and tear and frost during use, which affects the durability of the soles. Secondly, the friction coefficient of some rubber soles is low, which is not good for stopping and can easily lead to safety problems such as slipping. Finally, the specific gravity of rubber is high, which lacks lightness. Therefore, traditional rubber soles have been difficult to meet the many requirements of people for the performance of soles. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of light rubber shoe sole, which is simple, light in specific gravity, and has good slip resistance, while overcoming the defects of traditional rubber soles such as cracking, wear and tear and frost.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the solution of the present application is:

[0006] A preparation method of light rubber shoe sole, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1, according to the formula proportion, first put 20-30 parts of chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (CSM), 20-30 parts of TPE 004 type, 15-20 parts of EVA 3330, 10-15 parts of OBC 9107, 8-10 parts of ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) 3745, 4-6 parts of wear-resistant agent, 0.3-0.5 parts of stearic acid, 0.3-0.5 parts of bridging aid and 0.5-0.8 parts of crosslinking agent into a mixer, and mix and granulate at 110-120℃ to obtain material rice;

[0008] Step 2, then put the material rice into an injection molding machine for one-shot molding, the molding temperature is 165-175℃, and the heating time is 120-180s, to obtain the light rubber shoe sole.

[0009] In step 1, the wear-resistant agent includes 35 wt %~45 wt % polyethylene, 3 wt %~5 wtfumed silica and 45 wt% to 50 wt% dimethylvinyl MQ silicone rubber.

[0010] In step 1, the bridging aid is triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC).

[0011] In step 1, the crosslinking agent is 2,4-di-tert-butylperoxyisopropyl benzene (BIBP).

[0012] After the above technical solution, the preparation method of the light rubber sole selects 20-30 parts of chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (CSM), 20-30 parts of TPE 004, 15-20 parts of EVA 3330, 10-15 parts of OBC 9107, and 8-10 parts of ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM) 3745 as raw materials. The chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (GSM) is a special elastomer containing chlorine with a high saturated chemical structure. It has good anti-aging performance, good chemical corrosion resistance, temperature resistance, cold resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance, and good insulation. TPE 004 is a thermoplastic elastomer that is more heat-resistant and weather-resistant than traditional thermoplastic elastomers. It has good resilience, good creep recovery, excellent folding and cold resistance. EVA 3330 (Taiwan polyethylene) has a high VA content and a high melt index. It is used as a small amount of auxiliary material to solve the problems of poor flowability and air exhaust during mechanical processing. It has the advantages of easy processing, easy operation, and easy production, and has a light specific gravity. Dow 9107 is an olefin block copolymer (OBC) prepared by polymerizing octene and ethylene to produce soft and hard segments that alternate with each other. Due to its multi-block molecular structure, it has a higher melting temperature and a lower glass transition temperature. It has a fast crystallization rate, high tensile strength, and excellent performance. The soft segment chain produces tough elasticity, and the hard segment chain is particularly important for maintaining the size of thermoplastic elastomer products. EPDM is composed of chemically stable saturated hydrocarbons in the main chain and contains unsaturated double bonds only in the side chain. It has excellent ozone resistance, heat resistance, weather resistance, and aging resistance. It is easy to process and has strong plasticity. In particular, it significantly overcomes the color cracking and yellowing resistance variation of traditional rubber products.

[0013] Based on the selection of the above-mentioned raw materials, the present application adopts a one-shot injection molding method, which is combined with thermoplastic raw materials, and does not need to be foamed or vulcanized. The process is simple, and the light rubber sole obtained is translucent, yellowing-resistant, light in weight, and has good slip resistance. It also overcomes the defects of traditional rubber soles such as cracking, wear and frost. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
