Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipe materials, and in particular, to a low-temperature cracking resistant PP-R water supply pipe and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] PP-R is a high-performance thermoplastic. Due to its excellent chemical stability and heat resistance, it is often used as a water supply pipe in building water supply and drainage systems. Coupled with its long service life, it has gradually become the standard configuration for newly built residential buildings and public facilities in many countries and regions. However, with the increasingly widespread application of PP-R pipes, it is found that PP-R pipes are prone to low-temperature brittle fracture. Especially when PP-R pipes are used in cold regions or outdoors in winter, it greatly affects the safe and reliable operation of the water supply system.

[0003] In order to improve the low-temperature toughness of PP-R pipes, currently, the method of toughening with elastomers is adopted. The addition amount of the elastomer is generally 15wt% - 30wt%. The elastomer such as ethylene-octene copolymer can effectively absorb part of the impact energy and relieve the crack propagation trend to improve toughness.

[0004] However, the addition of elastomers will significantly reduce the high-temperature creep performance of PP-R pipes, resulting in limited application of PP-R pipes and difficulty in applying them to scenarios with high comprehensive performance requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the low-temperature toughness of PP-R pipes while maintaining the high-temperature creep performance at a good level, this application provides a low-temperature cracking resistant PP-R water supply pipe and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] In the first aspect, a low-temperature cracking resistant PP-R water supply pipe provided by this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A low-temperature cracking resistant PP-R water supply pipe is prepared from raw materials including the following parts by weight:

[0008] PP-R resin: 100 parts;

[0009] Elastomer: 4 - 7 parts;

[0010] Modified toughening particles: 3.5 - 6 parts;

[0011] The modified toughening particles are obtained by grafting long-chain unsaturated acids onto nano-inorganic rigid particles and then polymerizing styrene monomers and isoprene monomers. The mass ratio of the nano-inorganic rigid particles, long-chain unsaturated acids, styrene monomers, and isoprene monomers is (10 - 20):(1 - 3):(1 - 2.5):(1.5 - 3).

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, an elastomer is added on the basis of the PP-R resin. The elastomer can play a role in consuming impact energy and controlling the development of cracks. In addition, modified toughening particles are also added. The addition of the modified toughening particles can reduce the dosage of the elastomer and reduce the influence on the high-temperature creep performance of the pipe.

[0013] The modified toughening particles are modified on the basis of nano-inorganic rigid particles. The distribution of the nano-inorganic rigid particles in the resin can reduce the state of stress concentration. When the pipe is impacted, the internal cracks will be hindered by the nano-inorganic rigid particles, making the pipe not easy to crack. The nano-inorganic rigid particles are easily affected by problems such as agglomeration and dispersion. Therefore, long-chain acrylic acid, styrene and isoprene copolymer are polymerized on the surface of the nano-inorganic rigid particles to reduce the surface energy of the nano-inorganic rigid particles, promote the dispersion of the modified toughening particles. At the same time, the polyolefin structure of the copolymer has better compatibility with the PP-R resin system, the interfacial bonding force is improved, and the high-temperature creep performance is stronger. Selecting long-chain acrylic acid introduces a certain degree of voids between the copolymer and the nano-inorganic rigid particles, which can not only provide a combination for the elastomer and the PP-R resin, but also when the pipe is impacted, the structure of the modified toughening particles slides relatively, so that sufficient toughness can be maintained even in a low-temperature environment and it is not easy to crack.

[0014] Optionally, the nano-inorganic rigid particles are first modified with an amino-silane coupling agent and then grafted with long-chain acrylic acid. The mass ratio of the nano-inorganic rigid particles to the amino-silane coupling agent is (10~20):(0.7~2.2).

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after being modified with an amino-silane coupling agent, amino functional groups are introduced into the nano-inorganic rigid particles, which not only makes it easier for long-chain acrylic acid to graft, but also forms a spatial structure that is easy to slide relatively, improving the low-temperature toughness of the PP-R pipe.

[0016] Optionally, the long-chain acrylic acid includes one or more of 8-nonenoic acid, 10-undecenoic acid and 12-tridecenoic acid.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the above long-chain acrylic acid can provide polymerization sites to realize the polymerization of styrene-isoprene copolymer on the surface of the nano-inorganic rigid particles.

[0018] Optionally, the long-chain acrylic acid is selected as a compound of 8-nonenoic acid and 10-undecenoic acid, and the mass ratio of 8-nonenoic acid to 10-undecenoic acid is (1~2):(3~4).

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, acrylic acid with a suitable chain segment length is selected, and the surface spatial structure is modified in a compound and staggered manner, which is better compatible with the PP-R resin system, thereby further improving the low-temperature toughness.

[0020] Optionally, the elastomer includes one or more of ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer, nitrile butadiene rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, and ethylene-octene copolymer.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the above elastomer can play a role in consuming impact energy and controlling crack development in the PP-R resin.

[0022] Optionally, the elastomer is selected as ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer, and the mass content of methyl acrylate in the ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer is 25-28%.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer has good flexible anti-cracking ability, and the ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer with the above methyl acrylate content can be fully compatible with the surface of the modified toughening particles, further improving the dispersibility of the modified toughening particles, thereby improving the low-temperature toughness of the PP-R pipe.

[0024] Optionally, the nano-inorganic rigid particles include one or more of nano-scale calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, and carbon fiber.

[0025] Optionally, the raw materials further include 0.5-3 parts by weight of masterbatch.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the PP-R pipe can present various design colorings.

[0027] In a second aspect, a preparation method of a low-temperature crack-resistant PP-R water supply pipe provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0028] A preparation method of a low-temperature crack-resistant PP-R water supply pipe includes the following steps:

[0029] Pre-mix the PP-R resin, elastomer, and modified toughening particles to obtain a pre-mixture;

[0030] The pre-mixture is heated, kneaded, and sheared to be plasticized into a viscous flow state, extruded to form a pipe blank, and drawn and cooled and shaped into a water supply pipe.

[0031] Optionally, the preparation method of the modified toughening particles includes the following steps:

[0032] Disperse the nano-inorganic rigid particles in a first solvent, add an amino-silane coupling agent and react, filter, wash, and dry after the reaction to obtain pretreated nano-inorganic rigid particles;

[0033] Disperse the pretreated nano-inorganic rigid particles in a second solvent, add a long-chain olefinic acid and react, filter, wash, and dry after the reaction to obtain grafted nano-inorganic rigid particles;

[0034] Grafting nano-inorganic rigid particles are dispersed in a third solvent, styrene monomer and isoprene monomer are added, and after mixing evenly, an initiator is added for reaction. After the reaction is completed, filtration, washing, and drying are carried out to obtain modified toughening particles.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface grafting and polymerization of nano-inorganic rigid particles are realized in three steps, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the surface of the modified toughening particles.

[0036] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. The modified toughening particles of the present application are modified on the basis of nano-inorganic rigid particles. The distribution of nano-inorganic rigid particles in the resin can reduce the stress concentration state. When the pipe is impacted, internal cracks will be hindered by the nano-inorganic rigid particles, making the pipe not easily cracked. Nano-inorganic rigid particles are easily affected by dispersion problems such as agglomeration. Therefore, long-chain acrylic acid, styrene, and isoprene copolymer are polymerized on the surface of the nano-inorganic rigid particles to reduce the surface energy of the nano-inorganic rigid particles, promote the dispersion of the modified toughening particles, and at the same time, the polyolefin structure of the copolymer has better compatibility with the PP-R resin system, the interfacial bonding force is improved, and the high-temperature creep performance is stronger. Selecting long-chain acrylic acid introduces a certain degree of voids between the copolymer and the nano-inorganic rigid particles, which can not only provide a place for the elastomer and PP-R resin to combine, but also when the pipe is impacted, the structure of the modified toughening particles slides relatively, so that sufficient toughness can be maintained even in a low-temperature environment and it is not easily cracked.

[0038] 2. The present application can select acrylic acid with an appropriate chain segment length and compound and modify the staggered surface space structure, which is better compatible with the PP-R resin system, thereby further improving the low-temperature toughness. Specific Embodiments

[0116] Performance Test

[0117] Simply supported beam impact test: Referring to the requirements of the simply supported beam impact test in GB / T18742.2-2017, before the test, the water supply pipe is first placed in a refrigerated box at 0±2°C for 2 h, and then taken out for testing. A total of 10 water supply pipes are tested, and the breakage rate is recorded. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0118] Low-temperature drop hammer test: A drop hammer with a weight of 1 kg hits the water supply pipe in a free-fall manner, and the release height of the drop hammer is 110 cm. Before the test, the water supply pipe is first placed in a refrigerated box at -20±2°C for 2 h, and then taken out. After the surface of the water supply pipe returns to 0°C, the above test is carried out. A total of 10 water supply pipes are tested, and the breakage rate is recorded. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0119] Hydrostatic test: Referring to the hydrostatic test strength requirements in GB / T18742.2-2017, for the high-temperature creep performance, the hydrostatic test of the water supply pipe at 95°C is carried out, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0121]

[0122] Table 2

[0123]

[0124] According to the above test results, the PP-R pipes prepared in Examples 1-3 showed no damage after being subjected to the simply supported beam impact, proving good low-temperature anti-cracking performance. And after being subjected to the hydrostatic test, there was no leakage or rupture, proving good high-temperature creep performance. Therefore, it is applicable to application scenarios with high comprehensive performance requirements.

[0125] Combining the test results of Example 3 and Comparative Example 1, it can be analyzed that when the addition amount of the elastomer is small, the modified toughening particles can effectively compensate for the deficiency of the elastomer, enhance the low-temperature toughness of the PP-R pipe, and improve the influence on the high-temperature creep performance when only the elastomer is used for toughening.

[0126] Combining the test results of Example 3 and Comparative Example 2, it can be analyzed that when the copolymer is polymerized on the surface of the nano-inorganic rigid particles through long-chain acrylic acid, it can promote the surface compatibility of the modified toughening particles, improve the dispersibility of the modified toughening particles and the binding force with the elastomer and the PP-R resin. Compared with the short-chain γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane as the grafting site, it can effectively improve the low-temperature anti-cracking performance and high-temperature creep performance of the PP-R pipe.

[0127] Combining the test results of Example 3, Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, it can be analyzed that when copolymerized from isoprene monomer and styrene monomer, it can effectively play the toughening role of the modified toughening particles, and at the same time improve the low-temperature anti-cracking performance and high-temperature creep performance of the PP-R pipe.

[0128] Combining the test results of Example 3, Example 4, Example 5 and Example 6, it can be analyzed that when 8-nonenoic acid and 10-undecenoic acid are compounded in a ratio of (1~2):(3~4) as the long-chain acrylic acid, it can make the modified toughening particles further compatible with the PP-R resin system and further improve the low-temperature toughness of the PP-R pipe.

[0129] Combining the test results of Example 3, Example 7 and Example 8, it can be analyzed that when the mass content of methyl acrylate in the ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer elastomer is 25~28%, it can further improve the low-temperature toughness of the PP-R pipe.
