Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of film production technology, and in particular to a vinyl-terminated polyurethane film, its continuous production method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The current drawback of thermosetting technology is that heat transfer occurs gradually from the coating surface inwards. This can lead to incomplete or uneven curing within the coating, affecting its overall performance and quality stability. This problem is particularly pronounced in thicker coatings or coatings on large plastic films. While UV curing can address uneven curing to some extent, it requires the addition of specific photoinitiators, some of which have stability issues, potentially impacting the final product's performance. Furthermore, UV light has limited penetration and is color-sensitive, making it difficult to cure thick or dark materials, resulting in incomplete curing of the underlying layers. In multi-layer curing, uncured underlying layers can lead to structural defects. Moreover, controlling the uniformity of UV light sources is difficult, easily resulting in uneven curing. UV equipment has high energy consumption, leading to significant long-term operating costs. EB curing, on the other hand, faces limitations in its engineering application due to its advanced technology, high industrial application costs, difficulty in controlling the stability of equipment and process technology, and the near absence of domestically available coating materials. However, due to the complexity of film production processes, methods such as thermosetting, UV curing, or EB curing often suffer from low production efficiency due to long curing times or complex processes, making it difficult to meet the increasing market demand and resulting in films that lack superior performance. Combining the three curing methods is also challenging due to the complexity of the equipment structure, the significant differences in curing technologies, and the high technical difficulty; currently, no company in the industry possesses equipment capable of simultaneously supporting all three curing methods.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new continuous film production method that can improve film production efficiency while ensuring excellent overall film performance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a vinyl-terminated polyurethane film, its continuous production method, and its applications.
[0005] This invention provides a continuous production method for vinyl-terminated polyurethane films, comprising sequentially passing a substrate material through 1-2 stages of thermosetting, 2-5 stages of UV curing, and 1-2 stages of EB curing.
[0006] Furthermore, the continuous production method specifically includes the following steps:
[0007] S1: Apply a thermosetting resin material to the substrate material once, with a coating thickness of 5-10 micrometers. Control the oven temperature at 60-65℃ and allow the coating to remain in the oven for 5-15 seconds, performing 1-2 stages of thermosetting.
[0008] S2: The UV curing process is carried out in 2-5 stages. The UV-curable resin material is coated onto the surface of the substrate material, with each coating layer being 5-10 micrometers in size. A surface cured layer is formed through UV curing. The UV curing energy is 200-300 mJ / cm². 2 ;
[0009] S3: Coat with EB curing resin material once to form a thin resin layer of 10-20 micrometers, and cure under EB curing conditions, wherein the EB curing voltage is 110-150keV and the dosage is 3-30KGy, and perform 1-2 stages of EB curing process to fully cure the functional coating and obtain a decorative multilayer composite film.
[0010] The coating process in thermosetting, UV curing, and EB curing can be performed by roller coating, for example, using a micro-grooved roller or anilox roller.
[0011] Currently, the industry struggles to achieve continuous production using a combination of these three methods, and no other company has yet introduced EB radiation processing technology for coating curing and polymer crosslinking modification of plastic films. This invention utilizes a gradient progressive curing process with three curing methods, enabling each coating to achieve a fully crosslinked network structure. By combining the excellent adhesion of thermosetting coatings to the substrate, the high tensile strength of UV coatings, and the high hardness of EB coatings, a coating with excellent overall performance is obtained. Simultaneously, it solves the common industry technical problem of the contradiction between surface hardness and high tensile strength.
[0012] In this invention, step S1 enhances the adhesion between the coating and the substrate material through thermosetting coating, while simultaneously improving the surface hardness of the substrate material. Step S2 employs UV layering and curing to address the high tensile properties of the UV coating, as well as the surface hardness and color issues of the substrate material. Step S3 utilizes EB curing, first curing the EB curing resin material, and then further curing and cross-linking the incompletely cured coating material from step S2. Step S3, while ensuring hardness and scratch resistance, further optimizes gloss and enriches the appearance. This invention, through a specific combination of thermosetting, UV curing, and EB curing, produces a plastic film suitable for vacuum forming of curved profiles, exhibiting high tensile strength at break, high hardness, and excellent scratch resistance.
[0013] The gradient coating technology of UV curing layer can improve the tensile properties of the coating, increase the surface hardness of the base film, and because of the layered coating of UV curing layer, the color of each layer of paint can be adjusted by computer design at each stage to obtain a more layered surface and improve the appearance of decorative panel.
[0014] The UV curing process is slower than the EB irradiation curing process and is difficult to match. This invention prepares a thin UV layer in multiple stages, which can ensure that the UV coating is sufficient, so that the UV curing layer can adapt to the EB irradiation curing process and improve the production speed.
[0015] This invention endows functional material layers with properties different from those in a single curing process through multiple curing methods, providing more options for process optimization.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the curing time of each UV-curable resin layer is 0.5-3 seconds, and in step S3, the EB curing time is 0.1-1 seconds.
[0017] Furthermore, the conveying (transporting) speed of the plastic film is 20-80 m / min, such as 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80 m / min.

[0080] II. Performance Testing Methods
[0081] (1) Scratch resistance: The test standard is ISO1518-2:1992. The diameter of the steel needle and steel ball used in the test is 1 mm. An electric scratch tester is used to perform a unidirectional scratch test on the coating surface at a speed of 20 mm / s. The scratch length is 50 mm. The test is repeated 3-5 times and the average value is taken. The load when the steel needle is scratched is continuously increased. The load when the coating is first scratched by the steel needle is recorded as an indicator of the coating's scratch resistance. The greater the load, the better the scratch resistance.
[0082] (2) Hardness performance test: The test shall be conducted in accordance with the standard GB / T 17657-2013.
[0083] (3) Coating elongation at break performance test: The test shall be conducted in accordance with the standard GB / T 1040.3-2006.
[0084] (4) Interlayer adhesion test between coating and substrate: Refer to the method of "Determination of Coating Adhesion" in Chapter 4.56 of GB / T17657-2013; use a cross-cut tester to make 100 cross-cuts and use 3M tape to test the adhesion between the coating and the substrate. Grade 0 is the best and grade 5 is the worst.
[0085] Table 1. Technical solutions and effects of the embodiments and comparative examples
[0086]
[0087] The film transport speed was tested under the following curing conditions: thermosetting conditions: temperature 60-65℃, total thickness 10 μm; UV curing conditions: energy 220 mJ / cm². 2 The single-layer thickness is 6 μm and the total thickness is 30 μm. The EB curing conditions are: voltage 120 KeV, dosage 20 KGy, prepolymer A / B mass ratio 7:3, and total thickness 10 μm. Curing experiments were conducted.
[0088] Table 2. Analysis of the impact of conveying speed on performance
[0089]
[0090] When the conveying speed during the production process is below 20 m / min, flow marks are likely to occur; when it is above 80 m / min, the curing effect begins to decrease and become incomplete, the hardness and scratch resistance gradually weaken, and bubbles and shrinkage cavities appear.
[0091] In Examples 1-5, the films were prepared using the specific production method of this application. The resulting film coatings have excellent scratch resistance, reaching 2000 or higher, and also have high tensile strength at break, reaching 200% or higher. Furthermore, the film prepared by the production method of this application not only enables continuous production but also significantly improves the production speed, which is beneficial for industrial production.
[0092] Comparative Examples 1-3 were all compared with Example 5. Comparative Example 1 did not use EB curing to prepare the film, Comparative Example 2 did not use UV curing to prepare the film, and Comparative Example 3 did not use thermal curing to prepare the film. None of them could prepare a vinyl-terminated polyurethane film with high hardness, high scratch resistance and high elongation at break.
[0093] Based on the test data in Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the thin films produced by the preparation methods of Examples 1-5 have significant advantages over the comparative examples and can effectively meet the high standards of customers and the market.
[0094] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
