Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer sealing materials, and in particular to an automatically solidified high-temperature sealing material and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] In industries like chemical, petroleum, and gas, the sealing performance of pipeline systems is directly related to the safe operation of equipment and the prevention of media leakage. Due to assembly gaps in threaded pipe joints and flange connections, traditional sealing materials (such as PTFE tape, rubber gaskets, or spiral wound gaskets) are susceptible to aging, creep, or chemical degradation in environments with high temperatures (above 200°C), high pressures, or highly corrosive media, leading to seal failure. Furthermore, vibration can exacerbate loosening of sealing interfaces, further increasing the risk of leakage.
[0003] While existing anaerobic liquid raw tapes can cure and fill microgaps in the absence of oxygen, they can only withstand temperatures between -30°C and 130°C, and can withstand temperatures up to 150°C for short periods. They cannot withstand temperatures above 150°C. Furthermore, their liquid nature makes them difficult to apply and difficult to maintain in vertical or large gaps. Existing solid sealing tapes (such as modified silicone tapes) are easy to preform, but they typically rely on heat or UV curing, making uniform curing difficult in complex assembly structures. They also have limited high-temperature tolerance (generally below 150°C). Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-temperature sealing material that is automatically cured and formed and its application. The sealing material has the advantages of convenient construction (preformed strip shape), anaerobic self-curing properties, long-term high temperature resistance (≥200°C) and chemical corrosion resistance, which can meet the long-term sealing requirements under harsh working conditions and solve the performance deficiencies of existing sealing materials in high temperature, high pressure and corrosive environments.

[0029] The present invention provides the application of the automatically solidified high-temperature sealing material described in the above technical solution in the field of sealing in high-temperature, high-pressure and corrosive medium environments.
[0030] The present invention provides a high-temperature sealing material that is automatically cured and formed. The sealing material is made of a unique oxygen-free curing sealant and has the following advantages:
[0031] Heat resistance: Bismaleimide (BMI) resin is compounded with a fiber-based carrier in the sealing material and activates the cross-linking reaction at high temperature to form a rigid aromatic ring and a three-dimensional cross-linked network structure, which effectively inhibits the thermal motion of the polymer chain, thereby maintaining strength above 300°C and reducing high-temperature creep; at the same time, curing in an oxygen-free environment can avoid oxidative degradation and significantly improve thermal stability.
[0032] Corrosion resistance: After curing, the anaerobic sealant forms an inert barrier through the dense cross-linked polymer film and the hydrophobic groups in its molecular chain (such as BMI benzene ring) to block the penetration of corrosive media. At the same time, the reinforced skeleton composed of the fiber-based carrier can reduce the microcracks caused by mechanical stress, thereby achieving physical and chemical dual protection in the acid-base alternating environment of chemical equipment, and can effectively block the penetration of corrosive media such as water, acid, and salt.
[0033] High-pressure resistance: When under pressure, the anaerobic sealant can flow and fill the microscopic bumps on the metal surface (Ra≤3.2μm). After curing, it forms a mechanical interlock with the substrate to withstand local pressures above 40MPa. At the same time, the longitudinally oriented non-woven fabric / organic fiber filaments enhance the anti-extrusion performance, ensuring that the sealant will not be squeezed out and fail in a high-pressure environment.
[0034] The self-curing components and mechanism of the oxygen-free curing sealant of the present invention are as follows: the acrylate monomers (mono-, di-, poly-, and aromatic) and the initiation system (peroxide + metal ion catalyst in the metal substrate, the metal ion activates the decomposition of the peroxide) in the oxygen-free curing sealant inhibit free radical polymerization due to dissolved oxygen during storage. After assembly, the metal interface isolates oxygen and triggers the metal ion to reduce the peroxide to produce active free radicals, which in turn initiates chain polymerization of the acrylate double bonds and copolymerizes with the maleimide groups of the BMI resin to form an interpenetrating network structure (IPN), ultimately achieving high-strength curing. Therefore, the sealing material of the present invention combines the ease of use of a preformed strip structure with the technical characteristics of oxygen-free self-curing, effectively overcoming the problem of traditional sealing materials being prone to failure under harsh working conditions.
[0035] The anaerobic curing sealant of the present invention exhibits excellent high-temperature resistance after curing and can operate stably in an environment of 200-300°C for a long time. It also has excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and can withstand a variety of corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and hydrocarbons. It also has excellent anti-vibration fatigue properties, significantly improving the service life of the sealing system and can be used in high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive media environments. The sealing tape of the present invention is particularly suitable for sealing threaded and flange connections in high-temperature and high-pressure systems such as industrial water supply and drainage pipes, chemical pipelines, and gas pipelines. It not only solves the problem of inconvenient construction of liquid anaerobic adhesives, but also makes up for the shortcomings of traditional sealing tapes in high-temperature performance, and has important industrial application value.
[0036] The sealing material of the present invention can be automatically solidified and formed after assembly and pressing in an oxygen-free environment. It is suitable for sealing threaded pipe joints, flange connections and other parts in the fields of industrial water supply and drainage, chemical pipelines, gas pipelines, oil transportation systems, etc., especially for pipeline sealing needs that need to withstand high temperatures (above 200°C) for a long time, chemical corrosion and vibration conditions.

[0148] Performance Testing
[0149] 1) Curing performance test
[0150] Purpose of the test:
[0151] Evaluate the curing speed and full cure time of sealing materials in an oxygen-free environment to ensure they can quickly form a stable sealant layer in actual applications. By measuring the initial and full cure times, the reactivity of the sealant in different formulations is verified, providing a reference for construction technology.
[0152] Experimental equipment: high and low temperature test chamber (model: WGDY-7350L, -70℃~350℃), electronic timer, pipeline pressure and temperature tester (model: PT-5000) equipped with 0.01 precision electronic temperature and pressure gauge.
[0153] Test standard: Initial curing time and complete curing time test are carried out according to "JB / T 7311-2016 Technical Conditions for Anaerobic Adhesives".
[0154] 1) The sealing materials prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to curing performance tests. The results are shown in Table 8.
[0155] Table 8 Curing properties of sealing materials in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1
[0156]
[0157]
[0158] As shown in Table 8, the curing time is affected by the monomer type and the catalyst ratio. Examples 3, 4, 5, 6 and Comparative Example 1, in which the proportion of multifunctional monomers is high, cure faster.
[0159] 2) High temperature resistance test
[0160] Purpose of the test:
[0161] Verify the sealing stability of sealing materials under long-term high temperature (300°C) and short-term peak temperature (350°C) to ensure their suitability for high-temperature working conditions (such as chemical pipelines). By simulating actual high-temperature environments, test the thermal aging resistance and high-temperature creep performance of the materials.
[0162] Experimental equipment: high and low temperature test chamber (model: WGDY-7350L, -70℃~350℃), pipeline pressure and temperature tester (model: PT-5000) equipped with 0.01 precision electronic temperature and pressure gauge, carbon steel threaded pipe (DN15).
[0163] Specific test method:
[0164] When the sealing performance of the pipeline threaded interface of the sealing materials prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1 was tested, a DN15 standard carbon steel threaded pipe was selected and the surface of the external thread was cleaned. The sealing tape to be tested was evenly wrapped around the external thread in a clockwise winding manner for 3 turns, and then the threaded connection was tightened with a torque wrench according to a standard torque of 50 Nm. In the long-term temperature resistance test (steady-state test), the assembled sample was placed in a high and low temperature test chamber, pressurized at a constant pressure of 4 MPa, heated to 300°C ± 2°C and maintained at a constant temperature. The timing was started and the initial leakage time (first leakage) and the final failure time (complete loss of sealing) were observed and recorded. In the short-term peak test (limit test), a new sample was prepared under the same assembly conditions. After being placed in the test chamber, the temperature was quickly raised to 350°C ± 2°C and a constant pressure of 4 MPa was immediately applied. The duration from the start of pressurization to the occurrence of leakage was recorded. The results are shown in Table 9.

[0166]
[0167]
[0168] As shown in Table 9, bismaleimide can significantly improve heat resistance (Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 perform better than Comparative Example 1).
[0169] 3) Chemical corrosion resistance test
[0170] Purpose of the test:
[0171] Analyze the chemical stability of sealing materials in corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and hydrocarbons to ensure their long-term suitability in harsh environments such as chemical and petroleum industries. Evaluate the material's volume change rate and mechanical property retention through immersion testing.
[0172] Experimental equipment:
[0173] Constant temperature immersion tank (model: HWS-26), electronic balance (accuracy 0.001g), vernier caliper.
[0174] Test method: According to GB / T 1690-2010 Test method for liquid resistance of vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic rubber, the sealing materials prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1 were cut into standard sizes (25 mm × 25 mm × 2 mm) after curing, and immersed in 10% H2SO4, 10% NaOH, and diesel for 72 hours, and the volume change rate was measured.
[0175] The chemical corrosion resistance of the sealing materials in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1 is shown in Table 10.
[0176] Table 10 Chemical corrosion resistance test of sealing materials after curing (72 hours immersion)
[0177]
[0178] As shown in Table 10, high-proportion multifunctional monomers filled with PTFE and (PTFE+PI) fillers (Examples 3, 5, and Comparative Example 1) have the best chemical resistance and stability, and can meet the long-term sealing requirements of harsh industrial environments such as chemical and petroleum industries.
[0179] 4) Vibration fatigue resistance test
[0180] Purpose of the test:
[0181] Simulate dynamic vibration environments (such as mechanical vibration of pipelines) to test the durability of sealing materials under the combined effects of high temperature and vibration. Verify their resistance to microcrack growth and interface bonding strength to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the sealing system under vibration conditions.
[0182] Experimental equipment: temperature and humidity three-in-one vibration test chamber (model: DR-H207, frequency range 5-4000Hz, temperature range -70℃ to +350℃), fully automatic water-vapor dual-purpose pressure test pump (pressure range 0-6MPa, equipped with 0.01 accuracy electronic pressure gauge), carbon steel threaded pipe simulation device (specification DN32, surface roughness Ra≤3.2μm, material ASTMA105 carbon steel) and data acquisition system (real-time recording of vibration frequency, amplitude, pressure changes and leakage).
[0183] Specific test method:
[0184] The sealing material to be tested was evenly wrapped clockwise around the threaded sealing area of a carbon steel threaded pipe simulator three times and tightened with a torque of 50 Nm. The assembled simulator was placed in a temperature and humidity three-in-one vibration test chamber, heated to the target temperature (300 ± 2°C) and maintained at that temperature for 15 minutes. The high-frequency vibration tester was then activated, with the vibration parameters set to 50 Hz frequency and 1 mm amplitude. The test was conducted continuously for 72 hours under a constant water pressure of 4 MPa.
[0185] The vibration fatigue resistance test of the sealing materials in Examples 1, 3 and 5 and Comparative Example 1 is shown in Table 11.
[0186] Table 11 Vibration fatigue resistance test of different sealing materials
[0187] Case Vibration time to failure (h) Failure Mode Example 1 >72 (not expired) No leakage Example 3 >72 (not expired) No leakage Example 5 >72 (not expired) No leakage Comparative Example 1 8 Interface cracking
[0188] As can be seen from Table 11, the present invention realizes dynamic high-temperature testing through a temperature and humidity three-in-one vibration test chamber, and combines multiple failure monitoring of pressure, leakage and morphology analysis to verify that the synergistic effect of its bismaleimide-reinforced three-dimensional cross-linked network and fiber carrier gives the sealing tape excellent durability in a high-temperature vibration environment, effectively inhibiting high-temperature creep and vibration fatigue crack propagation.
[0189] 5) Comparative test with traditional materials
[0190] Purpose of the test:
[0191] Comparing the performance differences between the sealing material of the present invention and traditional liquid anaerobic adhesives or solid sealing tapes, the advantages of the sealing material in terms of ease of construction, temperature resistance, and curing speed are highlighted. Its industrial application value is demonstrated through quantitative indicators.
[0192] Experimental equipment: pressure tester (PT-5000), high temperature oven, construction simulation platform.
[0193] Test standard: Refer to JB / T 7311-2016 Technical Requirements for Anaerobic Adhesives to compare construction ease, curing time, and temperature resistance.
[0194] The sealing materials in Examples 3 and 5 of the present invention were compared with traditional commercially available materials. The results are shown in Table 12.
[0195] Table 12 Performance comparison of the sealing materials in Example 3 and Example 5 and the commercially available Hangtai brand 150 anaerobic liquid raw tape
[0196]
[0197] As can be seen from Table 12, the sealing tape / rope of the present invention has better high-temperature stability. It adopts a dual sealing design of physical caulking and anaerobic self-curing chemistry, which greatly improves the sealing performance. At the same time, it gets rid of the dependence of construction on external conditions, significantly shortens the pressure test time, significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of construction, and effectively reduces the waste rate. It fully meets the requirements of harsh working conditions such as chemical pipelines and gas pipelines, and its industrial applicability is significantly better than that of traditional anaerobic liquid raw tape sealing materials.
[0198] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
