Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polyester polyol preparation, and in particular relates to a low-atomization polyester polyol and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyester polyols are important raw materials for the preparation of polyurethane adhesives, including one-component adhesives, two-component adhesives, solvent adhesives and water-based adhesives. End-use applications include home furnishings, automotive transportation, mobile phones and other electronic products, baby / women's hygiene products, etc.

[0003] The preparation process of polyester polyols is accompanied by side reactions such as dehydration of polyols to ethers and esterification of carboxylic acids and alcohol molecules to form cyclic esters. These by-products do not contain active functional groups that can undergo urethane reactions. Therefore, they are mobile after the polyurethane is synthesized, which manifests as an odor in the product. By-products with melting points higher than room temperature may also manifest as migration and the appearance of solid matter. The application scenarios of polyurethane adhesives are closely related to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, the above phenomena are generally unacceptable. For example, one of the important uses of polyester polyols is as an adhesive for automotive interiors. In the field of automotive interiors, high fogging values ​​will limit its application. Migrants may migrate under light and high temperature conditions and adhere to the surface of the car glass panel, resulting in a "fogging effect", affecting the visual effect and even driving safety during driving.

[0004] Patent EP1481998 uses thin film evaporation as a post-treatment to reduce the volatile content of polyester polyols, thereby reducing the atomization value of polyester polyols. However, when polyester is melted or undergoes a urethane reaction under high temperature conditions, volatile byproducts will be formed again.

[0005] In summary, the development of a polyester polyol with an atomization level has important practical application significance. Summary of the Invention

[0103] According to the same preparation method as in Example 1, polyester polyols POL U-W were prepared using the above raw material formula.

[0104] Application Examples

[0105] The low-atomizing polyester polyols (POL A-I) prepared in Examples 1-9 and the polyester polyols (POL U-W) prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 were respectively used to prepare moisture-curable polyurethane hot melt adhesives. The preparation methods are as follows:

[0106] Under nitrogen, polyester polyol and MDI were added to the reactor in a molar ratio of 1:2. The reaction was continued at 130°C until the NCO content reached the theoretical value. The product was then discharged and stored sealed under nitrogen. The atomization value and positioning time were tested, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0109] As can be seen from the data of the Examples and Comparative Examples, the polyurethane products prepared using the polyester polyols of the present invention have lower atomization values ​​and shorter open times. Specifically, compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 replaces component B with a polyol having multiple main chains, but one main chain has a carbon number ≤ 3 and the other main chains have a carbon number > 3, Comparative Example 2 replaces component B with a diol having a single main chain and a carbon number > 3, and Comparative Example 3 leaves the components unchanged and adjusts (A+B) / (A+B+C) to < 80%. The polyurethane products prepared from the resulting polyester polyols have significantly increased atomization values ​​and a longer open time than those in the Examples.

[0110] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, based on the teachings of this specification, some modifications or adjustments may be made to the present invention, and such modifications or adjustments should also be within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
