Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of layered materials, in particular to a high-fastness washable transfer film, a preparation method and application on cotton fabric. BACKGROUND

[0002] The heat transfer film refers to a special functional printing film that the graphics with adhesive are separated from the base film together with the protective layer under the action of heat and pressure, and firmly bonded to the surface of the printing material. The heat transfer film generally includes a base layer, a release layer, a protective layer, an ink layer and an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer material is mainly solvent-based hot melt adhesive. Its main function is to have high adhesion with the surface of the printing material. In the process of heat transfer, the adhesive layer is in a flowing state under heat and pressure, and has certain adhesive properties, so that the ink layer and the surface of the printing material obtain firm bonding force.

[0003] The heat transfer film for fabric has poor wash resistance when applied to cotton fabric, thus limiting its application. This is due to insufficient adhesion between cotton fibers and the adhesive layer, poor water resistance of the adhesive layer, and other reasons. Therefore, preparing a high-fastness and washable heat transfer film can effectively expand the application range of the heat transfer film on cotton fabric.

[0004] The heat-reactive polyurethane, also known as blocked polyurethane, is a special polyurethane containing unblocked isocyanate groups. It is stable at low temperatures, and when it rises to a certain temperature, the isocyanate groups are unblocked during application and can react with active hydrogen substances, thereby realizing the regulation of its function. The blocked waterborne polyurethane, as a block compound, contains soft segment and hard segment, and thus has the advantages of low temperature resistance, adjustable flexibility and strong adhesion, and can be applied in adhesives to improve the adhesion performance.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] This invention prepares a heat transfer film with a multi-layer structure consisting of an adhesive layer, an aluminum plating layer, a protective layer, and a base film. By preparing a multi-component adhesive containing blocked polyurethane as the adhesive layer material of the heat transfer film, the blocked polyurethane is deblocked during heat transfer, releasing isocyanate groups, which further react with the hydroxyl-containing components in the adhesive layer material and the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the cotton fabric, effectively improving the adhesion strength and washability of the heat transfer film.

[0031] This invention utilizes the polymerization of 3-mercaptopropylmethyltrimethoxysilane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane to form mercapto-modified hydroxyl silicone oil. Then, by utilizing the mercapto-alkene click chemical reaction between the mercapto group and the carbon-carbon double bond, the mercapto-modified hydroxyl silicone oil and isoborneol acrylate are introduced into castor oil to obtain a silicone-containing castor oil-based polyol. This polyol is then added as a third component to a blocked polyurethane and a dopamine-containing polyacrylate to form an adhesive layer material.

[0032] Among them, the dopamine-containing polyacrylate has 3-methacrylamide monomer added during polymerization, which improves the adhesion performance of the adhesive layer material to the aluminum-plated layer and cotton fabric by utilizing the catechol group; the silicone castor oil-based polyol improves the hydrophobicity, moisture and heat resistance and hydrolysis resistance of the adhesive layer material. This is due to the introduction of the rigid terpene ring structure of isoborneol acrylate, which improves the heat resistance. The silane segments in the mercapto-modified hydroxyl silicone oil improve the water resistance of the material. At the same time, during heat transfer, the isocyanate groups in the adhesive layer material react with the hydroxyl-containing components and the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the cotton fabric to form a cross-linked structure, which further improves the adhesion performance of the adhesive layer to the cotton fabric and the water washing resistance.

[0115] The protective layer material is coated on the side of the base film with the release layer. After coating, it is cured in ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 365nm for 40s to form a protective layer with a thickness of 4μm, thus obtaining a protective layer / base film composite film.

[0116] Step (2): The protective layer side of the protective layer / base film composite film is vacuum-deposited at 10°C. -4 Aluminum was deposited under mbar vacuum conditions to form an aluminum layer with a thickness of 50nm, resulting in an aluminum layer / protective layer / base film composite film.

[0117] Step (3): The adhesive material prepared in Comparative Example 2 is coated on the side of the aluminum-plated layer / protective layer / base film composite film with the aluminum plating layer, and dried at a relative humidity of 25% and a temperature of 25℃ for 48 hours to form an adhesive layer with a thickness of 25μm, thus obtaining a transfer film.

[0118] In the above examples and comparative examples: the polypropylene glycol is polypropylene glycol 2000; the castor oil has an Mn of 933; the CAS number of 3-methacrylamide is 471915-89-6; and the aliphatic polyurethane acrylate is EBECREL 8413.

[0119] Test case

[0120] (1) The adhesive materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were coated onto the release film with a coating thickness of 1 mm. The coatings were cured at 130°C for 3 minutes. After curing, the release film was removed to obtain samples 1-5, which were then tested for mechanical properties and resistance to damp heat. Specific test results are shown in Table 1.

[0121] Table 1

[0122] Tensile strength (MPa) Tensile strength retention (%) Sample 1 36.9 91.2 Sample 2 37.3 90.6 Sample 3 37.2 91.0 Sample 4 37.0 72.3 Sample 5 36.8 91.1

[0123] The tests for each indicator in Table 1 were conducted according to the following standards: Tensile strength was determined in accordance with GB / T 528-2009 "Determination of Tensile Stress-Strain Properties of Vulcanized Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber"; Moist heat resistance was expressed by the tensile strength retention rate. Samples 1-5 were placed in water at 100℃ for a damp heat aging test for 12 hours, then removed for tensile testing, and the tensile strength retention rate was calculated.

[0124] As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the adhesive layer material prepared by this invention has excellent resistance to damp heat. This is because the silicone castor oil-based polyol improves the hydrophobicity, resistance to damp heat, and resistance to hydrolysis of the adhesive layer material. The rigid terpene ring structure of isoborneol acrylate improves the heat resistance of the material, while the silane segments in the mercapto-modified hydroxyl silicone oil improve the water resistance of the material. Furthermore, during the thermosetting process, the isocyanate groups in the adhesive layer material react with the hydroxyl-containing components to form a cross-linked structure, further improving the mechanical properties and water resistance.

[0125] In Comparative Example 1, the castor oil was not modified, and the improvement effect of isoborneol acrylate and mercapto-modified hydroxyl silicone oil on the moisture and heat resistance of the adhesive layer material was lacking. Therefore, the moisture and heat resistance of Sample 4 prepared in Comparative Example 1 was not as good as that of the sample prepared in the Example.

[0126] (2) The transfer films prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 3-4 were bonded to the surface of a cotton fabric base, with the adhesive layer side of the transfer film in contact with the cotton fabric base. The films were then pressed and cooled at 130°C, and these samples were designated as samples 1-5. The adhesion and washability of samples 1-5 were tested. The specific test results are shown in Table 2.

[0127] Table 2

[0128] Peel strength (N) Peel strength retention (%) Specimen 1 17.8 98.1 Specimen 2 18.1 98.3 Specimen 3 18.4 98.2 Specimen 4 17.7 89.5 Specimen 5 15.3 98.2

[0129] The tests for each indicator in Table 2 were conducted according to the following standards: Peel strength was tested according to FZ / T 80007.1-2006 "Test Method for Peel Strength of Coated Fabrics for Membrane Structures"; Washability was expressed by peel strength retention rate, after washing samples 1-5 50 times with water, peel strength was tested and peel strength retention rate was calculated.

[0130] As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the heat transfer film prepared by this invention exhibits excellent adhesion and washability. This is because the adhesive layer material contains blocked polyurethane, dopamine-containing polyacrylate, and silicone castor oil-based polyol. The dopamine-containing polyacrylate utilizes catechol groups to improve the adhesion between the adhesive layer material and the aluminum-plated layer and the cotton fabric. The silicone castor oil-based polyol improves the hydrophobicity, moisture resistance, and hydrolysis resistance of the adhesive layer material. During heat transfer, the blocked polyurethane is deblocked, and the isocyanate groups react with the hydroxyl-containing components and the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the cotton fabric to form a cross-linked structure, further improving the peel strength and washability of the adhesive layer on the cotton fabric. Sample 4, representing Comparative Example 3, uses the adhesive layer material prepared in Comparative Example 1. The castor oil was not modified, resulting in reduced hydrophobicity of the adhesive layer material and decreased washability of the transfer film. Therefore, the peel strength retention rate of Sample 4 is reduced.

[0131] Sample 5, representing Comparative Example 4, uses the adhesive material prepared in Comparative Example 2. It does not contain dopamine-containing polyacrylate. The lack of dopamine-containing polyacrylate improves the adhesion performance of the adhesive material to the aluminum-plated layer and cotton fabric by utilizing catechol groups, so the peel strength of Sample 5 is reduced.

[0132] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
