Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of adhesives, and more specifically to the application of hollow glass microspheres and adhesives for automobile welding. Background Art

[0002] Body welding is an important process in body manufacturing. In order to improve the sealing and corrosion resistance of the body and reduce vibration, sealant needs to be applied to the overlap of the body sheet metal. Recently, the development of body assembly technology that uses bonding to replace spot welding or partially replace spot welding has given adhesives new applications in body assembly.

[0003] The adhesives and sealants used in the welding line, in addition to having the general properties of automotive adhesives, the most important thing is that they will not have adverse effects on the coating process, can withstand the washing of the coating pre-treatment process, and will not pollute the electrophoretic fluid and coating quality. At present, there are three types of adhesives and sealants mainly used in the welding process: automotive hemming adhesive, automotive spot welding adhesive and expansion type shockproof adhesive.

[0004] The automobile body is welded from several steel plates. The existence of welds is inevitable. The sealing quality of the welds is directly related to the quality and corrosion resistance of the car body, and is a very important indicator of the technical performance of the whole vehicle. In automobile manufacturing, if the gaps at the joints of the sheet metal parts are not sealed with effective measures, the car will inevitably leak water, air and dust during driving. In severe cases, it may cause the steel plate at the weld to rust, causing the steel plate to perforate prematurely and accelerate the scrapping of the vehicle. The common weld sealing method in the automobile manufacturing industry is to apply spot welding sealant. Spot welding sealant is a solvent-free reactive adhesive with rubber as the base material. It has high viscosity at room temperature. After heating and curing, it becomes a rubber elastomer with excellent sealing and waterproof leakage performance. It is pumped at room temperature through high pressure, and has good adhesion to oily steel plates and good anti-sagging properties. The curing temperature ranges from 140℃ to 210℃. The cured product is flexible, has good sealing properties when vibrating, and is not easy to be peeled off under low temperature conditions. Spot welding sealant is mainly used in the front wall, side wall, floor, etc. Its main function is to prevent water and gas from penetrating into the cab from below the floor or the engine compartment. It can be divided into two categories based on performance: expansion type and non-expansion type. The use process is as follows: before welding the stamping parts, apply the glue on the single plate at the joint of the stamping parts, then close the two plates and spot weld them, and cure them together with the baking process such as electrophoretic paint, midcoat and topcoat. The spot welding sealant used in automobile production is required to have good construction processability and thixotropy, and can ensure the sealing performance. It will not be washed away during the pre-treatment of the subsequent coating process, and it can pollute the electrophoretic liquid. The spot welding sealant cannot contain silicon substances. A trace of silicone resin may cause harm to the quality of electrophoretic paint and topcoat. It cannot affect the strength of spot welding. During welding, the spot welding sealant does not decompose toxic gases or substances that can cause metal corrosion. It does not flow during the heating process. After the glue film is cured, it has sufficient elasticity and adhesion, and is resistant to media and aging.

[0005] The car doors, engine hoods and trunk lids of automobiles are usually connected by spot welding after the inner and outer covers are folded. However, this process adds many pits on the surface of the car body caused by welding, which seriously affects the appearance quality of the car body. In order to solve this problem, the method of bonding instead of spot welding is used to produce the folding structure of car doors, engine hoods and trunk lids. The adhesive used is called folding glue. The use of bonding instead of welding to manufacture automobile folding parts has a very broad application prospect and is the development direction of automobile manufacturing technology. In addition to car doors, engine hoods and trunk lids, it can also be used for other parts such as side panels. Folding glue is a heat-cured, flexible single-component paste adhesive based on epoxy resin. It has good flow resistance, no corrosive gas is released when heated, and it has good corrosion resistance. It does not contain solvents and PVC, and has good adhesion to oil-surface steel plates and galvanized layers. Hemming glue is mainly used for the hemming of the outer panels of car doors, engine hoods and trunk lids. Its main function is to increase the connection force between the hemming and the connecting sheet metal, improve the overall rigidity, and prevent water, dust, rust, and dust from entering the joints.

[0006] Inorganic fillers such as wollastonite, mica powder or talcum powder are usually added to adhesives used for automotive welding to reduce the rubber content, reduce the elastic deformation of the sealant, and reduce the extrusion expansion rate. However, in general, increasing the amount of inorganic fillers added will significantly reduce the shear strength of the adhesive.

[0007] Existing hollow glass microspheres with high compressive strength of 7000 to 9000 psi are generally used in preparing liquid crystal polyester composition (LCP) materials for acoustic diaphragms.

[0008] Existing hollow glass microspheres with high compressive strength of more than 11,000 psi are used in the preparation of polypropylene materials for automotive interior and exterior parts.

[0009] However, the use of hollow glass microspheres with high compressive strength as an additive for improving the shear strength of adhesives for automotive welding has not been reported. Summary of the invention

[0010] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of existing adhesives for automobile welding, that is, the high content of inorganic fillers leads to a significant reduction in shear strength, and to provide the use of hollow glass microspheres as an additive for improving the shear strength of adhesives for automobile welding. By controlling the specific content of hollow glass microspheres with greater compressive strength, the shear strength of the adhesive is prevented from being significantly reduced, and the shear strength of the adhesive is also improved.

[0011] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0012] The hollow glass microspheres are used as an additive for improving the shear strength of an adhesive for automobile welding. The adhesive for automobile welding comprises an inorganic filler, the inorganic filler comprises hollow glass microspheres, the weight percentage of the inorganic filler in the adhesive is 25-55%, the weight percentage of the hollow glass microspheres in the adhesive is 5-10%, and the compressive strength of the hollow glass microspheres is greater than or equal to 6000psi.

[0013] The test standard for the compressive strength of hollow glass microspheres is tested using the MAXIMATOR hollow microsphere pressure testing system.

[0014] The automobile welding adhesive of the present invention includes hollow glass microbeads with a specific content and a specific compressive strength, which can prevent the shear strength from being greatly reduced due to a high content of inorganic fillers. The mechanism of action may be as follows: at a microscopic level, the surface of the substrate to be bonded to the automobile has unevenness such as pits, and the hollow glass microbeads can play an anchoring role and fill in the pits on the substrate plate surfaces on both sides, thereby fixing the substrates on both sides and increasing the friction of the substrates on both sides. Therefore, even if a large amount of inorganic fillers is contained, the shear strength of the cured adhesive will not be greatly reduced, and the shear strength of the adhesive can even be improved, and the T peel strength of the adhesive can also be improved.

[0015] However, the compressive strength of hollow glass microspheres is too low. When the two substrates to be bonded are displaced, the hollow glass microspheres are easily broken, and therefore cannot be anchored in the two substrates, and thus cannot play a role in improving the shear strength.

[0016] Preferably, the compressive strength of the hollow glass microspheres is 6000-8000 psi.

[0017] Hollow glass beads have high compressive strength, which is more conducive to improving the shear strength and T-peel strength of adhesives used for automotive welding. However, a certain amount of glass beads will inevitably be damaged during production and construction. The damaged glass beads will increase the wear of construction equipment and reduce the service life of construction equipment. The higher the compressive strength of the glass beads, the lower the breakage rate will be, and the lower the wear on construction equipment will be.

[0018] In a specific embodiment, the compressive strength of the hollow glass microspheres is 6000psi, 6500psi, 7000psi, 7500psi, or 8000psi.

[0019] Preferably, the true density of the hollow glass microspheres is 0.36-0.4 g / cm 3 .

[0020] The detection standard for the true density of hollow glass beads is tested using the Quantachrome5200e true density tester.

[0021] Automotive welding adhesives are produced using kneading machines with large torque. Hollow glass beads may be damaged during production. High compressive strength is beneficial to reduce the breakage rate. Therefore, in order to make the finished product density the same, the amount of glass beads added is inversely proportional to the compressive strength of the glass beads. The higher the compressive strength of the glass beads, the higher the mechanical strength of the finished product under the same test conditions.

[0022] Preferably, the automobile welding adhesive is automobile spot welding adhesive or automobile hemming adhesive.

[0023] The present invention also protects an automotive spot welding adhesive, which comprises the following components by weight: 15-25 parts of a diluent; 5-10 parts of solid styrene-butadiene rubber; 10-15 parts of solid butadiene rubber; 10-20 parts of a bisphenol A epoxy resin; 1-5 parts of a curing agent; 1-5 parts of a curing accelerator; 5-15 parts of a flame retardant; 2-5 parts of a moisture absorbent; 0.1-1 parts of a silane coupling agent; 25-40 parts of an inorganic filler;

[0028] The automobile spot welding adhesive of the present invention prevents the shear strength of the adhesive from being greatly reduced by controlling the specific content of hollow glass microspheres with greater compressive strength, and also improves the shear strength of the adhesive.

[0029] Moreover, hollow glass microspheres have the advantages of large volume and light weight. Therefore, the specific content of hollow glass microspheres in the present invention can also reduce the density of the adhesive, which is beneficial to the weight reduction of the whole vehicle, especially the improvement of the cruising range of new energy vehicles, and has a promoting effect on improving the vehicle mileage and service life.

[0030] In addition, the VOC content of the adhesive material mainly depends on the content of the diluent. The hollow glass microspheres of the present invention have a low oil absorption value, which can reduce the amount of diluent added for later viscosity adjustment of the material. Therefore, the present invention is conducive to reducing VOC emissions and improving the environmental friendliness of the product.

[0033] The automotive spot welding adhesive composition of the present invention does not contain polyvinyl chloride resin, thereby avoiding the disadvantages of polyvinyl chloride decomposing and generating hydrogen chloride to corrode vehicle sheet metal due to high temperature during construction at the welding point, causing local corrosion of the vehicle and shortening the service life of the vehicle.

[0044] In a specific implementation manner, the viscosity, shear strength and density of the automotive spot welding adhesive can be adjusted by adjusting the content of the diluent, bisphenol A epoxy resin and hollow glass microspheres.

[0045] The present invention also protects an automobile hemming adhesive, which comprises the following components by weight: 3-10 parts of a diluent; 35-45 parts of a bisphenol A epoxy resin; 1-5 parts of a curing agent; 0.5-2 parts of a thixotropic agent; 0.5-2 parts of a curing accelerator; 1-5 parts of a moisture absorbent; 5-15 parts of a PVC paste resin; and 35-55 parts of an inorganic filler.

[0050] The automobile hem glue of the present invention prevents the shear strength of the adhesive from being greatly reduced by controlling the specific content of hollow glass microspheres with greater compressive strength, and also improves the shear strength of the adhesive.

[0051] Moreover, hollow glass microspheres have the advantages of large volume and light weight.

[0052] In addition, the VOC content of the adhesive material mainly depends on the content of the diluent.

[0150] From the above results, it can be seen that

[0151] The automotive spot welding adhesive of the present invention has a shear strength of more than 0.71 MPa and up to 2.24 MPa after baking and curing. The density can be as low as 1.28 g / cm 3 Below, can be as low as 0.92g / cm 3 . VOC can be as low as below 22g / kg, and as low as 12g / kg.

[0152] The automotive hem glue of the present invention has an oil surface shear strength of more than 15.7 MPa and up to 30.4 MPa after baking and curing. The non-oil surface shear strength can reach more than 17.7 MPa and up to 32.2 MPa. The T peel strength can reach more than 2.4 N / mm and up to 4.9 MPa. The density can be as low as 1.2 g / cm 3 Below, can be as low as 0.87g / cm 3 . VOC can be as low as below 13g / kg, and can be as low as 5g / kg.

[0153] It can be seen from the embodiments and comparative examples that when hollow glass microspheres are not included, the density is too large, and the shear strength decreases with the increase of the inorganic filler content. The addition of a small amount of hollow glass microspheres has no obvious effect on reducing the density and improving the shear strength. However, when the content of hollow glass microspheres is too high, although its density is low, its shear strength is obviously too low to meet the requirements.

[0154] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
