Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for preparing a spandex stock solution, in particular to a method and a device for preparing a high-efficiency and high-uniform spandex stock solution. Background Art
[0002] The preparation of continuous polymerization spandex stock solution mainly includes prepolymerization and final polymerization. The prepolymerization reaction is usually a bulk polymerization of pure MDI and PTMEG in a specific molar ratio in a pipeline reactor to generate a prepolymer with an NCO group as the terminal group. The prepolymer is then mixed with DMAC in a dissolver to prepare a prepolymer solution and then subjected to final polymerization. The final polymerization reaction is a chain extension reaction of the prepolymer solution and a mixed amine solution, wherein the mixed amine solution is a DMAC solution containing a chain extender and a terminator. The primary stock solution prepared by the chain extension reaction is added with functional additives and then stirred and aged to form a stock solution that can be used for spinning.
[0003] Specifically, existing prepolymerization reactions are bulk polymerizations conducted in pipeline reactors. This poses challenges such as difficulty removing reaction heat, high prepolymer viscosity, and poor fluidity, leading to uneven reactions and numerous side reactions. Furthermore, the pipelines of bulk polymerization reactors are prone to gel blockage over time, resulting in high equipment pressures and requiring regular replacement and cleaning. During chain extension reactions, the simultaneous participation of terminators and chain extenders can affect the participation of the less reactive terminator. Furthermore, existing processes control the viscosity of the polymer solution by adjusting the flow rate of the mixed amine, which simultaneously changes the amounts of both terminator and chain extender. This can alter the ratio of chain-extending amine groups to NCO groups, further affecting the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution uniformity of the polymer.
[0004] Although patent CN101333279A utilizes solution polymerization in the prepolymerization stage, the dilute solution of MDI in DMAC causes the active NCO groups to react with trace amounts of water in the DMAC solvent before reacting with the polyether diol. This in turn leads to an increase in bubbles and impurities in the system, affecting the uniformity of the subsequent prepolymerization reaction and the lifespan of the equipment. Patent CN101096782A also uses solution polymerization to prepare polyurethane elastic fibers, but it is a batch polymerization method, and the prepolymerization temperature is relatively low, resulting in poor reaction results. The chain extension reaction still uses a mixed amine solution containing a terminator and a chain extender, which reduces reaction uniformity and results in poor uniformity of the prepared spinning solution.
