Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing impregnated labor protection products, and specifically relates to an aqueous polyurethane for labor protection gloves and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Gloves are important protective tools that are essential for protecting the hand skin from damage in our daily life or during labor in special environments. According to their usage functions, gloves can be classified into: flame-retardant gloves, oil-resistant gloves, acid and alkali-resistant gloves, medical gloves, high-temperature-resistant gloves, thermal gloves, labor protection gloves, etc. Among them, labor protection gloves are one of the most commonly used gloves for daily labor protection.

[0003] Most labor protection gloves are made of rubber and plastic. However, untreated rubber and plastic gloves have disadvantages such as difficult demolding and inflexible wearing. Traditional treatment methods often choose to coat some lubricating materials on their surfaces to increase the demolding property and wearing property of the gloves. However, powder lubricants often cause serious environmental pollution during use and production, and can also cause allergic reactions in some people. Therefore, the use of powdered gloves has greatly decreased. In recent years, labor protection latex-impregnated gloves with excellent abrasion resistance and puncture resistance have been favored by people.

[0004] Polyurethane labor protection gloves are favored by people due to their good abrasion resistance and flexible wearing property. With the continuous enhancement of environmental awareness, aqueous polyurethane labor protection gloves have gradually come into people's view.

[0005] Patent technical literature CN113736061A discloses an aqueous polyurethane emulsion without a coagulant for impregnated labor protection products and a preparation method thereof. The aqueous polyurethane emulsion of this invention can not only meet the requirements of stable homogeneous storage, transportation, impregnation production and other process steps of the emulsion within a certain time, but also enable the emulsion to quickly solidify into a film when infiltrating the glove embryo without continuing to penetrate into the inner layer of the glove embryo, preventing glue penetration.

[0027]

[0028]

[0029] Data analysis: As can be seen from Examples 1-3 in Tables 1 and 2, the waterborne polyurethane for labor protection gloves of the present invention has a milky white emulsion appearance, the viscosity is basically maintained between 56-58 mPa·s, the average particle size of the polyurethane in the emulsion is between 300-500 nm, the emulsion potential is between -35 mV and -50 mV, having good dispersion stability and a high solid content, and at the same time having excellent mechanical strength and water resistance. While ensuring high strength of the waterborne polyurethane, the flexibility of the rubber film is improved, providing an excellent raw material guarantee for the preparation of waterborne polyurethane-impregnated labor protection gloves.

[0030] As can be seen from Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 4 in Table 2, the present invention first uses deacetylated chitin to participate in the polyurethane prepolymerization process, and then uses modified chitin to participate in the final emulsification process of the prepolymer, so that the rubber film formed by the waterborne polyurethane for labor protection gloves has excellent mechanical strength and water resistance. The gloves impregnated with this waterborne polyurethane emulsion have excellent friction resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance. This is mainly because the surface of deacetylated chitin is rich in amino groups. When added at the initial stage of the pre-emulsion synthesis, the hydroxyl and amino groups on its surface react with the isocyanate groups in the prepolymer to form covalent bonds. This reaction forms a stable cross-linked network in the early stage, providing a rigid framework for subsequent enhancement. The carboxyl groups on the surface of modified chitin can combine with the unreacted isocyanate groups, further increasing its cross-linking density. At the same time, the carboxyl groups can form a multi-level enhancement structure through hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, and physical embedding with polar groups, forming a more complete and tight cross-linked network, greatly improving the mechanical strength and water resistance of the rubber film. Most importantly, the deacetylated chitin inside the cross-linked network can further improve the interfacial compatibility between the modified chitin and the matrix, further enhancing the mechanical strength and water resistance of the rubber film and the wear and puncture resistance of the gloves; when deacetylated chitin and modified chitin are added together as in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, it may be due to the low reaction activity of the carboxyl group with the isocyanate, resulting in low cross-linking efficiency, weakening the network stability, and the interaction between the amino group and the carboxyl group, resulting in a reduction in effective reaction sites and inability to fully combine with the polymer main chain; in addition, when the two are added together, it may cause defects due to agglomeration, thereby destroying the uniformity of the PU matrix, thus reducing the mechanical properties and water resistance.
