Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive interior parts technology, specifically to an automotive carpet and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the significant improvement in people's living standards, cars have become the most common means of transportation. As a soft flooring material, carpets, compared to traditional flooring materials such as wood flooring and tiles, not only have advantages such as aesthetics and cushioning against impacts, but also offer benefits like sound insulation, dust absorption, and improved indoor air quality, leading to their widespread use worldwide. However, automotive interior components use a large amount of non-metallic materials and adhesives. These non-metallic materials release significant amounts of organic matter during use, seriously affecting the air quality inside the vehicle. As a major component of the car's interior, automotive carpets are exposed over a large area in the passenger compartment, directly impacting the odor inside the car.
[0003] Patent application CN115107340A discloses an automotive carpet, its preparation method, and its application. The automotive carpet comprises a PE film, a PET carpet surface, an EVA layer, a spunlace fabric, and a PU foam layer, stacked sequentially. The EVA layer raw materials include POE, modified polyethylene, dolomite, talc, etc.; the PU foam layer comprises component A and component B. Component A includes low-emission polyether polyol, silicone oil, etc., and component B is isocyanate. Adjusting the content of components A and B in the PU foam layer reduces the odor and VOC levels of the automotive carpet. However, the poor degradability of components A and B in the aforementioned PU foam layer leads to poor recyclability. Furthermore, the automotive carpets disclosed in the prior art have complex structures and intricate processing techniques. In addition, improving the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the prepared automotive carpet is also a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved.
[0004] To address this technical deficiency, a solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automotive carpet and its preparation method, which solves the technical problems of complex structure and complicated processing technology of automotive carpets disclosed in the prior art, as well as the poor degradability and recyclability of the PU foam layer in automotive carpets.
[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A method for preparing an automotive carpet includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. The filler and high-solids EVA material are evenly laid on the base fabric in sequence, and the base fabric is then flocked to produce a tufted blanket; hot melt adhesive is then placed between the high-solids EVA material and the tufted blanket to obtain a composite blanket.
[0009] S2. The composite blanket is bonded in a heat bonding machine and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain the prepared automotive carpet.
[0010] Furthermore, the preparation method of the high-solidity EVA material includes the following steps:
[0011] A1, EVA material and NaOH powder are added together into a mixer and mixed at 100-120℃ for 2-4 hours. The mixture is then discharged to obtain saponified EVA material. The saponified EVA material and maleic anhydride are added to a mixer and heated to melt at a temperature of 180-200℃ for 20-30 minutes to prepare unsaturated EVA material.
[0012] EVA material is saponified with NaOH to obtain saponified EVA material; the saponified EVA material is then melt copolymerized and grafted with maleic anhydride to prepare unsaturated EVA material, as shown in the following reaction formula:
[0013] A2, propyltrichlorosilane, allyl bromide and organic solvent are added to a polymerization reactor, followed by rare earth metals. The mixture is stirred and mixed thoroughly to obtain a reaction system. The reaction system is reacted at 25-30℃ for 2-3 hours to obtain the product. The organic solvent is removed by distillation of the product, and the organic liquid phase allylsilane is collected.

[0019] Further, in step A3, the weight ratio of unsaturated EVA material, toluene, organic liquid phase allylsilane and potassium persulfate solution is 20-30:110-130:30-40:10-20, the rotary evaporation pressure is 5-10 kPa and the rotary evaporation temperature is 45-50℃.
[0020] Furthermore, the method for preparing the filler includes the following steps:
[0021] B1. Epoxidized soybean oil, deionized water and tert-butanol are mixed to obtain a modified solution; terminal amino polyether is reacted with the modified solution to synthesize the product;
[0022] B2. The product is rotary evaporated at 75-80℃ and -0.1~-0.2MPa for 1-1.5h to obtain a viscous organic liquid, which is the synthesized polyether polyol.
[0023] A nucleophilic ring-opening addition reaction is carried out between amino-terminated polyether and epoxidized soybean oil to synthesize polyether polyol.
[0024] B3. Mix polyether polyol, foam stabilizer, crosslinking agent, catalyst and deionized water evenly to obtain component A; mix toluene diisocyanate and diphenylmethane diisocyanate evenly to obtain component B; mix component A and component B to obtain reactant; mature the reactant to prepare filler.
[0025] The polyurethane polymer formed by reacting polyether polyol, toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate and related additives is the filler prepared.
[0026] Further, in step B1, the weight ratio of epoxidized soybean oil, deionized water and tert-butanol is 100-120:20-30:40-50, and the weight ratio of terminal amino polyether and modified liquid is 50-80:10-20.
[0027] Further, in step B3, the weight ratio of polyether polyol, foam stabilizer, crosslinking agent, catalyst and deionized water is 70-80:0.5-1.5:1-3:0.2-0.3:5-10, and the mass ratio of toluene diisocyanate and diphenylmethane diisocyanate is 1:1; the maturation temperature of the reactants is 55-65℃, and the maturation time is 12-24h.
[0028] Furthermore, in step S1, the thickness of the filler is 10-20 mm, and the thickness of the high-solids EVA material is 20-30 mm; the amount of hot melt adhesive applied is 260-300 g / m². 2 In step S2, the hot bonding speed is 5-6 cm / s, the hot bonding temperature is 125-135℃, the hot bonding time is 80-100s, and the hot bonding pressure is 0.06-0.075 MPa.
[0029] As another aspect of the present invention, an automotive carpet is prepared by a method for preparing an automotive carpet.
[0030] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] 1. The automotive carpet structure prepared by this invention, in addition to the bottom and tufted core, also includes a filling layer and a high-solids EVA material layer, and hot melt adhesive is used to connect and composite the layers. The EVA material layer in the automotive carpet has high density and thermosetting properties, and after molding, it can maintain its shape and has good sound insulation. This invention introduces unsaturated functional groups into the EVA material through sodium hydroxide saponification and maleic anhydride melt grafting reaction. This allows for the introduction of allyl silane into the EVA material. The high-solids EVA material layer prepared by this invention contains silicon, multi-branched carbon chains, and polar functional groups, thereby improving the thermal stability of the prepared automotive carpet and its compatibility with other functional layers.
[0032] 2. The filler in the automotive carpet prepared by this invention is a polyurethane foam material. Compared to the polyol monomers used in conventional synthetic polyurethane, this invention uses epoxidized soybean oil-modified terminal amino polyether as the polyether polyol. Compared to conventional polyurethane foam materials, the filler prepared by this invention has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, having increased molecular weight and polar functional groups, thereby enabling the polyether polyol designed and synthesized by this invention to reduce the odor of the filler, reduce fogging and volatility. The automotive carpet with a composite structure prepared by this invention has the advantages of low odor, good mechanical properties, and good thermal stability. Detailed Implementation

[0070] Comparative Example 2
[0071] The difference between this comparative example and Example 9 is that step A2 is omitted when preparing the high-solidity EVA material; and in step A3, an equal mass of allyl bromide is used to replace the synthesized organic liquid phase allylsilane.
[0072] Comparative Example 3
[0073] The difference between this comparative example and Example 9 lies in the B1 step during the preparation of the filler, as detailed below:

React at 80°C for 5 hours and collect the product from the product outlet.
[0075] Performance testing:
[0076] 1. The car carpets prepared in Examples 7-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 of this invention were cut into 1cm × 1cm square pieces. These square pieces were placed in four odor bottles, the caps were tightened, and the four odor bottles were placed in an oven and aged at 80°C for 2 hours. Three evaluators assessed the odor levels of the odor bottles. The odor level classification criteria were as follows: Level 1, barely noticeable; Level 2, noticeable but not pungent; Level 3, noticeable but not pungent; Level 4, pungent; Level 5, very pungent; Level 6, unbearable.
[0077] 2. In accordance with QB / T1090-2001 "Test Method for Pull-out Force of Carpet Tufts", pull-out force tests were conducted on the automotive carpets prepared in Examples 7-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 in sequence.
[0078] 3. The automotive carpets prepared in Examples 7-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were cut sequentially to a total weight of 5 mg. The automotive carpets prepared in Examples 7-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were then heated from 45°C to 600°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min, while the carpets were placed in a nitrogen atmosphere during the heating process. The temperature at which the weight loss rate was maximized was measured.
[0079] 4. According to GB / T3819-1997 "Determination of the recovery performance of textile creases - Recovery angle method", the crease recovery angles of the automotive carpets prepared in Examples 7-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested in sequence.
[0080]
[0081] Data Analysis: The automotive carpets prepared in Examples 7-9 of this invention all have low odor levels and low odor concentrations. In Comparative Example 3, an equal mass of tert-butanol was used to replace the modifying liquid when preparing the filler. In Examples 7-9, tert-butanol was modified with epoxidized soybean oil, utilizing the epoxy groups contained in epoxidized soybean oil as functional groups to react with terminal amino polyethers, thereby synthesizing polyether polyols. The polyether polyol synthesized in Comparative Example 3 has a low relative molecular mass, few polar functional groups, and high volatility, resulting in automotive carpets prepared in Comparative Example 3 having higher odor level values and higher odor concentrations.
[0082] In Comparative Example 1, unsaturated EVA material of equal mass was used to replace high-solids EVA material; the organic liquid phase allylsilane was not added to the prepared unsaturated EVA material, resulting in a lower degree of crosslinking and a lower number of polar functional groups. This was reflected in the reduced thermal stability of the car carpet prepared in Comparative Example 1, which manifested as a decrease in the temperature at which the car carpet prepared in Comparative Example 1 had the maximum weight loss and a decrease in wrinkle resistance.
[0083] In Comparative Example 2, an equal mass of allyl bromide was used to replace the synthesized organic liquid phase allyl silane. Compared to allyl silane, the allyl bromide added to the EVA material lacked silicon and had a shorter chain length, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties and a reduction in pull-out force.
