Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inner padding materials, in particular to a grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner padding material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] TPE material is a type of elastomer that has the elasticity of rubber at room temperature and is plasticized and formed at high temperatures. It is widely used in food-related bottle cap lining materials such as beer, beverages, cooking oil, and seasonings.

[0003] When it comes to food application testing, most commercially available TPEs meet regulatory requirements in tests with aqueous solutions, acetic acid, and alcohol. However, they often perform poorly in tests with oils and fats, such as olive oil, n-hexane, and isooctane. For example, patent CN115109380B describes an oil-resistant, food-grade styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer and its preparation method. In this method, SEBS and SBS, among other main components, are cross-linked with an initiator. The elastomer is then combined with naphthenic oil, EVA, and PP-g-MAH to adjust the system's vulcanization uniformity and fluidity, improving its tolerance to organic solvents like olive oil. However, EVA itself has poor tolerance to oils and fats, precipitating into the oils and fats, making it impossible to ensure full cross-linking and stable cross-linking. Furthermore, cross-linking SBS and EVA results in increased material resilience. For inner lining materials, excessively high resilience results in increased opening torque, which can negatively impact the consumer experience. Furthermore, the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of bottle caps are closely linked to food freshness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner pad material and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner pad material comprises, by weight, 20-40 parts of SEBS, 10-30 parts of propylene elastomer, 20-40 parts of vinyl elastomer, 10-20 parts of polypropylene, 3-10 parts of amine-modified SEBS, 0.5-1.5 parts of filler, 1-3 parts of amide lubricant, and 0.1-0.5 parts of antioxidant.

[0006] Furthermore, the comonomer of the propylene-based elastomer is ethylene, wherein the vinyl content is 5-20%.

[0007] Furthermore, the comonomer of the vinyl elastomer is octene, and the copolymerization form is block type, wherein the octene content is 20-30%.

[0008] Furthermore, the amide lubricant is obtained by compounding erucamide and didodecyl hydroxystearamide in a mass ratio of (0.5-1): (0.6-1.7).

[0009] Furthermore, a grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner pad material is provided, wherein the composition of the TPE inner pad material is, by weight: SEBS: 20-40 parts, propylene elastomer: 10-30 parts, vinyl elastomer: 20-40 parts, polypropylene: 10-20 parts, amine-modified SEBS: 3-10 parts, filler: 0.5-1.5 parts, amide lubricant: 1.1-1.8 parts, and antioxidant 0.1-0.5 parts.

[0010] Furthermore, the antioxidant is obtained by compounding antioxidant 1010 and antioxidant 168 in a mass ratio of 1:1.

[0011] Furthermore, the filler is rutile titanium dioxide.

[0012] Furthermore, the filler is a composite titanium dioxide nanosheet, and the preparation includes the following steps: (1) Anhydrous ethanol, tetrabutyl titanate, hydrogen fluoride, and copper nitrate trihydrate were stirred for 20-30 minutes, transferred to a hydrothermal kettle, kept at 178-182°C for 110-130 minutes, centrifuged, washed, dried, and ground to obtain copper-doped titanium dioxide nanosheets; (2) epigallocatechin gallate and tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminomethane solution were mixed, ε-polylysine and tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminomethane solution were added, copper-doped titanium dioxide nanosheets were added, and the mixture was kept at 35-39°C for 22-24 hours, washed, dried, and ground to obtain modified titanium dioxide nanosheets; (3) The modified titanium dioxide nanosheets and sodium acetate buffer solution were mixed, the pH was adjusted to 7.5, and a mixture of modified carboxymethyl chitosan and sodium acetate buffer solution was added, the pH was adjusted to 7.5, and the mixture was shaken at 35-39°C for 3-4 hours, centrifuged, filtered, and freeze-dried to obtain composite titanium dioxide nanosheets.

[0013] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the modified titanium dioxide nanosheets to the modified carboxymethyl chitosan is 1:0.8.

[0014] Furthermore, the preparation of modified carboxymethyl chitosan comprises the following steps: Mix carboxymethyl chitosan and deionized water, stir at 18-25°C for 50-70 minutes, heat to 77-83°C and keep warm in an oil bath for 20-30 minutes, add a mixture of ethanol, stearic acid, 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide, continue to keep warm for 6-8 hours, cool, stir at 18-25°C for 22-24 hours, precipitate with ethanol, centrifuge, wash, dialyze in deionized water for 72 hours, and freeze-dry to obtain modified carboxymethyl chitosan.

[0015] Furthermore, a method for preparing a grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner pad material comprises the following steps: SEBS, propylene elastomer, vinyl elastomer, polypropylene, amine-modified SEBS, filler, amide lubricant, and antioxidant are sequentially added into a high-speed mixer, mixed, and then extruded and granulated to obtain a grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner pad material.

[0016] Furthermore, the extrusion temperature is: 170-220°C.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner pad material and a preparation method thereof. By optimizing the formula and process, a grease-resistant food-grade TPE inner pad material is prepared that is safe, has good antibacterial properties, and has good bonding strength with bottle caps. By controlling the raw material ratio, the material has moderate resilience to simultaneously take into account sealing properties and opening torque, and has high economic value and practical significance.

[0018] The present invention adopts a white oil-free formula and directly polymerized high melt index polypropylene to improve the fluidity of the inner pad material, solve the problem of "initiator residue" existing in existing inner pad materials, and improve food safety. In order to improve the relative tolerance of the inner pad material to immersion in olive oil, n-hexane, and isooctane, a propylene-based elastomer with ethylene as a comonomer and a vinyl elastomer with octene as a comonomer in a block copolymer form are selected as the elastomer. Since propylene and ethylene are relatively tolerant to immersion in isooctane and the like, by controlling their ratio, the high temperature resistance, sealing performance, and opening torque of the inner pad material are improved. Amine-modified SEBS is introduced into the inner pad material. The amino component in the amine-modified SEBS is utilized to increase the adaptability of the inner pad material to different coatings of the bottle cap, expand its scope of use, enhance its tolerance to grease or isooctane, and reduce the probability of the product being dyed. Compared with anhydride-modified SEBS, the introduction of amine-modified SEBS has a better odor and reduces the impact on the taste of the contents.

[0019] A combination of erucamide and didohydroxystearamide is selected as an amide lubricant. Erucamide precipitates quickly, ensuring the initial screw-in distance of the bottle cap, while didohydroxystearamide precipitates relatively slowly, ensuring the long-term stability of the opening torque. At the same time, the introduction of a large number of hydrophilic groups in didohydroxystearamide can prevent oily substances from entering the inner pad material, improve the oil resistance of the inner pad material, and synergistically reduce the chance of the product being dyed.

[0020] In order to further improve the mechanical strength and antibacterial properties of the inner pad material, titanium dioxide was selected as a filler. To improve the antibacterial properties of titanium dioxide, copper-doped titanium dioxide nanosheets were prepared by in-situ hydrothermal method to improve their activity. In order to improve the bonding strength between the copper-doped titanium dioxide nanosheets and the inner pad material base material and improve the uniformity of the copper-doped titanium dioxide nanosheets dispersed in the inner pad material, the copper-doped titanium dioxide nanosheets were immersed in a tris(hydroxymethyl)methylaminomethane solution of epigallocatechin gallate and ε-polylysine by liquid phase deposition method to prepare a phenolamine layer on the copper-doped titanium dioxide nanosheets. The introduction of epigallocatechin gallate and ε-polylysine has a green antibacterial effect and improves food safety. In order to further synergistically improve the oil resistance of the inner pad material, the electrostatic interaction between them and modified carboxymethyl chitosan is enhanced by controlling the process parameters. The modified carboxymethyl chitosan is acylated with stearic acid on the amino group of carboxymethyl chitosan using 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide as catalysts. By controlling the amount of their introduction, the oil resistance and antibacterial properties of the inner pad material are synergistically improved, thereby greatly expanding the scope of use of the inner pad material.
