Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of polyurethane sponge, and particularly relates to a Yongbai polyurethane sponge, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The cup, bed cover and mattress in the chest circumference and the core material in the summer cooling quilt all use polyurethane sponge material, and the traditional polyurethane sponge is prepared by foaming reaction of polyether / polyester polyol, aromatic isocyanate, foaming agent and other additives. Because a large number of benzene ring structures exist in the molecular structure, the polyurethane sponge is easy to generate quinone color groups under sunlight and high temperature and high humidity environment, so that the polyurethane sponge turns yellow. When producing light / white cups, bed covers, mattresses and summer cooling quilts, the color difference caused by yellowing of the sponge is easy to be shown through the outer covering fabric, causing appearance defects. In order to solve this problem, it is a key method to prepare a polyurethane sponge which does not yellow (Yongbai) under long-term exposure to direct sunlight and does not yellow (Yongbai) under long-term exposure to high temperature and high humidity environment. Considering the specific scene of the polyurethane sponge material applied to the cup, bed cover, mattress and summer cooling quilt core material, excellent resilience and air permeability are also necessary material properties.
[0003] Polyurethane sponge material field technicians know that the polyurethane sponge prepared by using aliphatic isocyanate (no benzene ring in the molecular structure), polyether / polyester polyol, foaming agent and other additives has the characteristics of not yellowing (Yongbai) under long-term exposure to direct sunlight; compared with the polyurethane sponge prepared by polyester polyol, the polyurethane sponge prepared by polyether polyol has better hydrolysis resistance, better hydrolysis yellowing resistance, better resilience and better air permeability. Therefore, it is possible to use aliphatic isocyanate, polyether polyol, foaming agent and other additives to prepare a sponge with the characteristics of not yellowing (Yongbai) under long-term exposure to direct sunlight, not yellowing (Yongbai) under long-term exposure to high temperature and high humidity environment, good resilience and good air permeability.
[0004] However, due to the same reason as bringing the ever-white characteristics, because of the lack of benzene ring in the molecular structure of aliphatic isocyanate, the molecular structure of the sponge is insufficient in rigidity and excessive in flexibility, and the collapse phenomenon often occurs during foaming, and normal sponge products cannot be obtained. This phenomenon is particularly evident when using polyether polyol to foam. When using polyester polyol to foam, the large number of hydrogen bonds in the molecular structure of the polyester polyol can make up for the problem of insufficient rigidity of the sponge molecular structure caused by the lack of benzene ring in the molecular structure of aliphatic isocyanate. By selecting a suitable polyester polyol, the collapse problem caused by the lack of benzene ring in the isocyanate can often be solved; but this will also bring another problem, that is, the poor resilience and air permeability of the sponge caused by the use of polyester polyol. In addition, the reactivity of aliphatic isocyanate is much lower than that of aromatic isocyanate, which makes the foaming speed and curing speed of the polyurethane sponge prepared by using aliphatic isocyanate much slower than that of the traditional sponge prepared by using aromatic isocyanate, and it cannot be compatible with the traditional continuous flat bubble production line for industrial production. Therefore, solving the problems of insufficient rigidity of the polyurethane sponge molecular structure, slow foaming speed and curing speed caused by the use of aliphatic isocyanate is the only way to prepare ever-white polyurethane sponge with excellent properties such as non-yellowing under long-term exposure to direct sunlight (ever-white), non-yellowing under long-term exposure to high temperature and high humidity environment (ever-white), good resilience and air permeability. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the problems of the prior art, the present application provides an ever-white polyurethane sponge, a preparation method and application thereof.

[0013] 2) In view of the problem that the foaming speed and curing speed of polyurethane sponge prepared by using aliphatic isocyanate are much slower than those of traditional sponge prepared by using aromatic isocyanate, and cannot be compatible with traditional continuous flat bubble production line for industrial production, in step 2), multiple catalysts are compounded, so that the catalytic reaction of step 2) includes a front strong foaming stage and a rear reaction heat excited heat-sensitive strong gelation stage, which accelerates the overall foaming speed of step 2) and can accelerate the curing speed of step 3).

[0084] Example 6
[0085] Example 6 differs from Example 1 in that in Step 2) the catalyst is replaced by 2 g of DBU, and the rest is consistent with Example 1.
[0086] Example 7
[0087] Example 7 differs from Example 1 in that there is no Step 1) preparation of modified IPDI mixture, component B is IPDI, and the amount added is 108 g, and the rest is consistent with Example 1.
[0088] Comparative Example 1
[0089] Comparative Example 1 differs from Example 1 in that Comparative Example 1 uses traditional aromatic isocyanate TDI as component B, the amount added is 84 g; the amount of foaming agent water added is 3 g; the catalyst is 0.8 g of A33 and 0.2 g of T9; and the rest is consistent with Example 1.
[0090] The physical properties of the sponge prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 1.
[0091] Table 1 Physical properties of sponge test results
[0092] Test item Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Example 6 Example 7 Comparative Example 1 Time to top (s) 85 81 86 93 More than one day 64 More than one day 76 Foaming phenomenon Normal Normal Normal Normal Failed to foam normally Normal Collapse Normal Skin dry time (h) 2 2 2 2 —— More than one day —— 2 Density (kg / m3) 38 36 42 40 —— 57 —— 34 Tensile strength (KPa) 117 126 124 135 —— 108 —— 121 Elongation at break (%) 105 92 95 86 —— 111 —— 93 Air permeability (l / m2 / s) 1200 1017 784 500 —— 368 —— 1129 Ball rebound (%) 46 50 39 35 —— 33 —— 53 Yellowing performance after half a year of sunlight exposure No yellowing No yellowing No yellowing No yellowing —— No yellowing —— Severe yellowing Yellowing performance at 85 RH / 85°C / 120 h No yellowing No yellowing No yellowing No yellowing —— No yellowing —— Severe yellowing
[0093] From the physical property test data in Table 1, it can be seen that the foaming of Example 7 using IPDI as the black material occurs with a collapse phenomenon, and a normal sponge bubble body cannot be obtained. This is because the lack of aromatic rings in the molecular structure of IPDI leads to insufficient rigidity, which cannot lock the gas generated by foaming, resulting in a collapse phenomenon. In comparison, Examples 1-4 modify IPDI by pre-polymerization to increase its rigidity by increasing its functionality. When the modified IPDI mixture (isocyanate group end-capped pre-polymer) is used as the black material for foaming, the foaming is normal, and the time to peak and the surface drying time are basically the same as those of Comparative Example 1 using traditional aromatic isocyanate as the black material for foaming. Although the falling ball rebound performance of the polyurethane sponge obtained in Examples 1 and 2 is slightly worse than that of Comparative Example 1, the air permeability, tensile strength, and elongation at break are basically the same as those of Comparative Example 1, and there is no yellowing after being exposed to sunlight for half a year, and no yellowing after 120 hours of testing according to the Shuangbawu standard, which is a truly white polyurethane sponge; whereas the polyurethane sponge obtained in Comparative Example 1 is severely yellowed.
[0094] In Example 5, the catalyst system (A33 / T9) used when traditional aromatic isocyanate is used as the black material for foaming cannot be used as the catalyst for foaming when the modified IPDI mixture (isocyanate group end-capped pre-polymer) is used as the black material, because the reaction activity of the modified IPDI mixture is much lower than that of traditional aromatic isocyanate, and the conventional catalyst cannot catalyze the reaction of the formula material. In comparison, Examples 1-4 use a variety of catalysts to build a strong foaming in the front stage and a heat-sensitive strong gel in the back stage, which accelerates the foaming speed and the curing speed, and the formula material can be normally foamed to obtain a normal sponge bubble body, and the time to peak and the surface drying time are basically the same as those of Comparative Example 1 using traditional aromatic isocyanate as the black material for foaming. Although the time to peak is also very fast when a single DBU catalyst is used for catalytic foaming in Example 6, the curing speed is very slow, and it cannot be adapted to the traditional continuous flat foaming production line for large-scale production. Examples 1-4 can be adapted to the traditional continuous flat foaming production line for large-scale production because the time to peak and the surface drying time are basically the same as those of traditional aromatic isocyanate as the black material for foaming.
[0095] From Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1, by taking the two-step method of first synthesizing prepolymer, foaming, pre-polymerizing aliphatic isocyanate with high functionality polyether polyol with the aid of catalyst to obtain isocyanate group terminated prepolymer with sufficient rigid molecular structure; supplemented by taking a variety of catalysts to compound to build a strong foaming front section and a heat-sensitive strong gel of the reaction heat excitation in the rear section, to speed up the foaming speed and curing speed, the prepared Yongbai polyurethane sponge has the characteristics of equivalent foaming speed and equivalent curing time of conventional polyurethane sponge, and can be compatible with traditional continuous flat bubble production line for industrial production; at the same time, the prepared Yongbai sponge has the advantages of non-yellowing (Yongbai) for a long time (more than half a year) exposed to direct sunlight, non-yellowing for a long time (120 hours) in double 85 test, good resilience and air permeability, and is very suitable for application in the field of high requirements for sponge yellowing such as making light / white bra cup, light / white bed cover, light / white mattress, etc.
[0096] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
