Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polyurethanes, and particularly relates to a hydrophilic polyurethane sponge composition with a low swelling rate, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydrophilic polyurethane foam materials are a widely used material for cotton pads for makeup because they have excellent absorption properties, biocompatibility, no allergic reactions and teratogenic effects; at the same time, they also have good elasticity and toughness, and excellent processing performance.

[0003] Currently, the preparation of hydrophilic polyurethane foam materials mainly involves introducing hydrophilic structures into the molecular chain, such as ethylene oxide (EO) linkages, to improve the hydrophilicity of the materials. The production methods are divided into one-step method and two-step method. Among them, the one-step method refers to a method of mixing, pouring, and reacting raw materials such as polyols, surfactants, catalysts, blowing agents, and polyisocyanates at one time; the two-step method is to first react isocyanate with polyether polyol to generate a prepolymer, and then let the prepolymer react with other components to obtain a foam. However, the hydrophilic foam materials prepared by these two methods all have problems such as poor strength, poor open-cell property, and high swelling rate, and can no longer meet the new requirements of people for cotton pads for makeup.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN113861370A discloses a polyurethane composition for cotton pads for makeup. This composition consists of component A and component B. Among them, component A is made of wollastonite powder, blowing agent, chain extender, emulsifying wax, open-cell agent, and color paste; component B is made of hydrophilic polyether polyol A, hydrophilic polyether polyol B, crosslinking agent polyether, and T 80. The cotton pads for makeup made with this composition not only have good resilience in water, good hydrophilicity, but also have delicate cell structure and excellent mechanical properties. However, this application does not study the open-cell property and swelling rate of the product.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a hydrophilic polyurethane sponge composition with a low swelling rate and good open-cell property to meet the higher requirements for material properties in fields such as cotton pads for makeup. Summary of the Invention

[0116] The polyurethane sponge blends prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were subjected to performance tests, and the test methods were as follows:

[0119] Elongation at break: Tested with reference to GB / T 6344-2008;

[0120] Tear strength: Tested with reference to GB / T 10808-2006;

[0121] The test method for rebound in water was as follows: A polyurethane sponge blend with dimensions of 20 mm × 20 mm × 20 mm was immersed in deionized water, taken out after 10 min, and the water was squeezed out forcefully, and the time required for the specimen to return to its original state was recorded.

[0122] The test method for water absorption rate was as follows: A polyurethane sponge blend specimen with dimensions of 20 mm × 20 mm × 10 mm was weighed, then the specimen was immersed in deionized water, taken out after 24 h, weighed after hanging in the air for 1 min, and the water absorption rate (W0) of the specimen was calculated according to the following formula:

[0123] ;

[0124] In the formula: m0 is the weight of the specimen after water absorption, g; m is the weight of the specimen before water absorption, g.

[0125] The test method for swelling ratio was as follows: A polyurethane sponge blend specimen with dimensions of 20 mm × 20 mm × 10 mm was used to calculate the volume, then the specimen was immersed in deionized water, taken out after 24 h, and the volume was measured after hanging in the air for 1 min, and the water absorption rate (W v ) was calculated according to the following formula:

[0129] Table 1 Performance test results

[0130]

[0131] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the polyurethane sponge blends prepared in Examples 1-3 not only have good resilience performance in water and excellent mechanical properties, but also have high water absorption rate and low swelling rate.

[0132] By comparing Comparative Example 1 with Example 3, it can be seen that by using the polyether-based crosslinking agent of the present invention, the mechanical properties and water absorption rate of the product can be improved.

[0133] By comparing Comparative Examples 2-3 with Example 3, it can be seen that by using the polyether ester polyol of the present invention, an ester bond segment and an ethylene oxide (EO) segment can be introduced into the molecular chain at the same time. The polyurethane sponge blend prepared therefrom not only has good hydrophilicity and high open cell rate, but also has low swelling rate and excellent mechanical properties.

[0134] By comparing Comparative Examples 4-5 with Example 3, it can be seen that when all T100 is used, although the foaming rate is high and the mechanical properties are good, the resilience in water is relatively poor; when all T65 is used, although the resilience in water is relatively good, the foam state and mechanical properties are relatively poor. Generally speaking, when the toluene diisocyanate in the formula components adopts the isomer ratio of the present invention, the comprehensive performance of the hydrophilic polyurethane sponge is the best.
