Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of protective films, and in particular relates to an antistatic protective film. Background Art

[0002] With increasing awareness of health and obesity, gyms have become a vital venue for people pursuing a healthy lifestyle. Modern gyms are also becoming increasingly intelligent, with smart fitness equipment such as interactive strength trainers, touch-sensitive cardio equipment, and biometric mirrors becoming standard features. These devices frequently come into contact with sweat and skin, posing challenges such as static interference and touch failure, and becoming potential vectors for the spread of bacteria and viruses.

[0003] PVC protective film has been widely used in recent years to protect the touchscreens of smart fitness equipment due to its low price and excellent chemical resistance. However, traditional PVC protective film has significant shortcomings in this specialized application scenario: Conventional PVC protective film is ineffective in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the equipment surface. Furthermore, exercisers sweat profusely during exercise, and contact between sweat and sebum and the equipment surface creates ideal conditions for bacterial growth. Statistics show that the bacterial colony count on the touchscreen surface of smart gym equipment can reach 1200-1500 CFU per square centimeter, with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli detected in over 65% of cases.

[0004] From an anti-static perspective, since PVC is a typical polymer insulating material, it is highly susceptible to static electricity in gym environments, where people frequently exercise and equipment rubs against each other. This static electricity can absorb impurities such as dust and hair from the air, staining the surface of fitness equipment and affecting its appearance and lifespan. Furthermore, static electricity can interfere with electronic equipment in the gym, with the false alarm rate for touch controls due to static accumulation reaching as high as 15%-20%. For gym goers, touching equipment with static electricity can cause discomfort and even psychological resistance, diminishing the fitness experience.

[0005] Currently, common antistatic films on the market are unable to inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surface of equipment, while commercially available antibacterial films often ignore the need for electrostatic protection. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a PVC protective film with both antibacterial and antistatic properties to meet the application of PVC protective films in the field of smart fitness equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a PVC protective film with both antibacterial and antistatic properties.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: An antistatic protective film is prepared by the following steps: Step A1: adding polyvinyl chloride resin, dioctyl phthalate, an initiator, a stabilizer, an antistatic agent, an antioxidant, and a lubricant into a high-speed mixer and mixing the components to fully disperse and uniformly mix them to obtain a mixture; Step A2: transferring the mixed material to a twin-screw extruder, fully plasticizing and melting the mixed material in the extruder, and extruding the mixed material through a T-die, cooling and shaping the mixed material through a cooling roller, and finally obtaining an antistatic protective film after pulling, slitting and winding.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the raw materials are calculated in parts by mass as follows: 93-115 parts of polyvinyl chloride resin, 21-29 parts of dioctyl phthalate, 0.03-0.05 parts of initiator, 2-3 parts of stabilizer, 3-9 parts of antistatic agent, 2-4 parts of antioxidant and 1-3 parts of lubricant.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the initiator is a peroxide initiator.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the stabilizer is a calcium zinc stabilizer.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the antioxidant is one of triphenyl phosphite and trinonylphenyl phosphite.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the lubricant is one of erucamide, oleamide and stearamide.

[0013] As a further technical solution, during the mixing process, the rotation speed of the high-speed mixer is 800-1200 r / min, and the mixing time is 15-20 min.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the temperature of each section of the twin-screw extruder is: 160-170°C in the feeding section, 170-180°C in the compression section, 180-190°C in the homogenizing section, and 175-185°C in the die head.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the antistatic agent is prepared by the following steps: Step B1: In a three-necked round-bottom flask, N,N-dimethylformamide, sodium o-formylbenzenesulfonate, and 4-aminopyridine were added in sequence, and after mechanical stirring and mixing, p-toluenesulfonic acid was added as a catalyst. The device was placed in a water bath at 50-55°C, and the reaction was kept warm for 4-5 hours under stirring. After the reaction was completed, the product was post-processed to obtain a preliminary product. Step B2, in a three-port round-bottom flask, N,N-dimethylformamide and the primary product were sequentially added, and after mechanical stirring and mixing, allyl chloride was slowly added into the flask at 0-5 DEG C in an ice bath using a constant pressure dropping funnel, after the addition was completed, a condenser was installed, and the temperature was increased to 60-80 DEG C, and the reaction was carried out for 6-7 h, after the reaction was completed, the product was obtained after post-treatment.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the ratio of the amount of N,N-dimethylformamide, sodium o-formylbenzenesulfonate, 4-aminopyridine and p-toluenesulfonic acid in step B1 is 150 mL:20.8 g:9.4 g:1.7 g.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the ratio of the amount of N,N-dimethylformamide, the primary product and allyl chloride in step B2 is 100 mL:28.4 g:7.6 g.

[0018] The reaction formula of the preparation process of the antistatic agent is as follows: In the preparation process of the antistatic agent, p-toluenesulfonic acid is used as a Lewis acid catalyst in step B1 to enhance the electrophilicity of the aldehyde and accelerate the nucleophilic attack on the 4-aminopyridine to obtain the primary product; and then allyl chloride is used to react with the primary product to obtain the target product, the antistatic agent, in step B2.

[0019] The prepared antistatic agent is a zwitterionic compound because it contains quaternary ammonium cations and sulfonate anions, and thus exhibits unique antistatic properties. Compared with single-ion antistatic agents, the zwitterionic antistatic agent has stronger ionic conductivity, and the internal salt structure (self-balancing positive and negative charges) of the zwitterion reduces the molecular migration tendency, and the stability in the PVC matrix is significantly higher than that of single-ion antistatic agents. In addition, the quaternary ammonium cation has excellent antibacterial properties and can synergize with the Schiff base group in the antistatic agent to significantly improve the antibacterial properties of the PVC matrix. Finally, the introduction of an unsaturated double bond at one end of the antistatic agent can cross-link with the PVC matrix under the action of an initiator, further improving the anti-migration and durability of the small-molecule antistatic agent.

[0020] Advantages of the application: Advantage 1: The addition of dioctyl phthalate as a plasticizer can reduce the melting temperature and melt viscosity of the PVC resin, increase the plasticity of the material, improve the processing performance, and make the prepared protective film more fit the surface of the fitness equipment without affecting the antistatic properties. Advantage 2: The zwitterionic antistatic agent prepared in the application has better antistatic properties and stability than single-ion antistatic agents, and has antibacterial properties. In summary, the antistatic protective film prepared by the present invention solves the problem that traditional PVC protective films cannot achieve both antistatic and antibacterial properties. It is suitable for high-frequency contact scenarios such as touch screens and biometric mirrors, and has important application value in the field of intelligent equipment technology in gyms.
