Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an isocyanate curing agent composition, and particularly to a low-viscosity curing agent composition for preparing high-strength polyurethane adhesives and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Two-component polyurethane adhesives have been maturely applied in fields such as shoe adhesives, sealants, and packaging laminating adhesives. However, with the continuous enrichment of downstream application scenarios, the demand for the bonding strength of adhesives has also been continuously increasing. The most widely circulated in the market is aromatic polyisocyanate curing agents. For example, Patent CN112341595A discloses a preparation method of a toluene diisocyanate composition, synthesizing a TDI-TMP type aromatic polyisocyanate curing agent, which can be applied to scenarios such as structural adhesives that require high bonding strength. The viscosity of such aromatic polyisocyanates is relatively high. Therefore, during the production of curing agents, organic solvents are usually added for dilution to reduce the viscosity for subsequent processing and use. However, there are also some problems: (1) After long-term storage of the sample, the solvent content is prone to change, resulting in fluctuations in the curing agent indicators, thereby reducing the fault tolerance rate of downstream manufacturers' production equipment and affecting product quality; (2) The solvent in the curing agent needs to be removed by high temperature or long-time air drying, increasing the production cost.

[0003] Based on the above problems, there is temporarily no solvent-free polyisocyanate curing agent product with both high bonding strength and low viscosity on the market. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In the present invention, the trimethylolalkane in the isocyanurate derivative of the trimethylolalkane-modified aliphatic polyisocyanate in component A) is the same as the trimethylolalkane involved in the above component C).

[0015] In the present invention, the isocyanurate derivative of the trimethylolalkane-modified aliphatic polyisocyanate in component A) and the isocyanurate derivative of the unmodified aliphatic polyisocyanate in component B), wherein the isocyanurate derivative refers to a derivative containing at least an aliphatic polyisocyanate trimer structure, preferably, the aliphatic polyisocyanate trimer is selected from one or more of hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer, pentamethylene diisocyanate trimer, and aliphatic polyisocyanate-modified trimer; wherein the aliphatic polyisocyanate is a straight-chain aliphatic diisocyanate, preferably pentamethylene diisocyanate and / or hexamethylene diisocyanate.

[0017] The curing agent composition of the present invention has a low viscosity and does not require external solvent dilution. However, it should be noted that even if a solvent is added to the curing agent, its use performance will not be affected. Therefore, the preparation method of diluting the curing agent with a solvent in any ratio also belongs to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned low-viscosity curing agent composition. Those skilled in the art should understand that the following preparation method is only an exemplary illustration of the source mode of the curing agent composition product having the above characteristics of the present invention, but does not constitute any limitation.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a method for preparing a low-viscosity curing agent composition, comprising the following steps:

[0020] (1) Reacting xylylene diisocyanate, an isocyanurate derivative of an aliphatic polyisocyanate with a trimethylolalkane to form an NCO-terminated isocyanate prepolymer;

[0021] (2) Subjecting the NCO-terminated isocyanate prepolymer to thin-film evaporation to remove free monomers, thereby obtaining a low-viscosity curing agent composition.

[0022] In step (1) of the present invention, the addition sequence of the xylylene diisocyanate and the isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate is not fixed, and the number of additions is not fixed. Preferably, when the xylylene diisocyanate is added for the first time, it should be added earlier than the trimethylolalkane.

[0023] In step (1) of the present invention, the isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate refers to a derivative containing at least an aliphatic polyisocyanate trimer structure; preferably, the aliphatic polyisocyanate is selected from linear aliphatic diisocyanates, preferably pentamethylene diisocyanate and / or hexamethylene diisocyanate;

[0024] Preferably, the aliphatic polyisocyanate trimer is selected from one or more of hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer, pentamethylene diisocyanate trimer, and aliphatic polyisocyanate-modified trimer.

[0025] It should be noted that the isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate described in the present invention is an existing product and can be synthesized by itself based on the methods disclosed in the prior art. For example, it can be prepared by referring to the methods disclosed in patents CN107531874 and CN116854890; for simplicity of the process, commercially available products can also be directly used, such as HT-100 (Wanhua Chemical), N3300 (Covestro), N7300 (Covestro), etc.

[0026] In step (1) of the present invention, for the trimethylolalkane, the alkyl group is a linear alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group. Preferably, the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group is 2-5, such as 2, 3, 4, 5;

[0027] Preferably, the trimethylolalkane is selected from one or more of trimethylolpropane, trimethylolcyclohexane, trimethylolbutane, and trimethylolpentane, preferably trimethylolpropane.

[0029] In step (1) of the present invention, xylylene diisocyanate, calculated based on the isocyanate group (-NCO), and trimethylolalkane, calculated based on the hydroxyl group (-OH), have a molar ratio of 4 - 7, such as 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, preferably 4.3 - 5.6.

[0030] In step (1) of the present invention, for the reaction, the reaction temperature is 55 - 100 °C, such as 55 °C, 65 °C, 75 °C, 85 °C, 95 °C, 100 °C, preferably 55 - 90 °C; the reaction time is 1.2 - 6.0 h, such as 1.2 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, preferably 1.2 - 5.5 h.

[0031] It should be noted that in the above step (1), if any of the raw materials, namely xylylene diisocyanate, the isocyanurate derivative of the aliphatic polyisocyanate, and trimethylolalkane, are added in multiple batches, the reaction time only needs to ensure that the total time after each addition is within 1.2 - 6.0 h, and the reaction temperature can be adjusted after each addition of the raw material, but the temperature range still needs to be within 55 - 100 °C.

[0032] In step (2) of the present invention, for the thin-film evaporation, the residence time is 6 - 60 min, such as 6 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 60 min, preferably 6 - 50 min; the temperature is 140 - 200 °C, such as 140 °C, 150 °C, 160 °C, 120 °C, 180 °C, 190 °C, 200 °C, preferably 140 - 195 °C; the pressure is 0.1 - 120 Pa, such as 0.1 Pa, 5 Pa, 20 Pa, 40 Pa, 60 Pa, 80 Pa, 100 Pa, 120 Pa, preferably 20 - 100 Pa.

[0033] The curing agent composition prepared in step (2) of the present invention does not need to be diluted with an external solvent, but a solvent can also be added for dilution. Specifically, it can be diluted with the solvent in any ratio, but when calculating the component content, the mass of the solvent needs to be deducted;

[0035] In the present invention, the operation processes involved in the above steps (1) and (2) are preferably carried out under an environment of a protective gas (such as nitrogen).

[0036] The low-viscosity curing agent composition of the present invention can be used in the fields of electronic component potting adhesives, automotive structural adhesives, solvent-free wood adhesives, etc., and is particularly suitable for preparing high-strength polyurethane adhesives in the wood field.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are as follows:

[0038] Due to the low-viscosity characteristic of the curing agent of the present invention, the cumbersome steps of adding a solvent for dilution during the use of traditional polyurethane curing agents are effectively simplified, and at the same time, its products also have the characteristic of high strength. From the perspective of customers, the dilution link is an important factor causing fluctuations in the quality of the final product. The directly usable curing agent can significantly improve the yield rate of the downstream production process. From the perspective of safety and hygiene, the use of solvents is reduced, which is beneficial to the downstream construction environment and the use by end customers.
