Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of adhesive technology, and in particular to a fast-curing, environmentally friendly two-component silicone adhesive and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of silicone adhesive technology, the development of two-component silicone adhesives has brought innovation to numerous industries. In the transportation sector, they are used for sealing automotive engines and aerospace equipment, ensuring the safe and stable operation of vehicles and reducing the risk of malfunctions caused by sealing problems. In the energy industry, two-component silicone adhesives provide sealing protection for pipelines and electrical equipment, improving the efficiency of energy transmission and utilization. In the medical field, they can be used for sealing medical devices, ensuring the hygiene and reliability of these devices. With the continuous development of various industries, the performance requirements for two-component silicone adhesives are becoming increasingly stringent, demanding that they function effectively in more complex environments and higher-standard scenarios.

[0003] In the past, the industry has employed several common technical methods to address issues related to two-component silicone adhesives. These typically use hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes as a base, relying on a condensation reaction initiated by moisture to achieve curing. To accelerate the reaction, some systems utilize organotin catalysts.

[0004] However, these traditional techniques have significant drawbacks. The curing method of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes is heavily dependent on moisture, resulting in slow curing speeds. Furthermore, moisture-induced pre-reactions during low-temperature mixing can destabilize the colloidal properties, affecting curing uniformity and mechanical properties. Organotin catalysts are harmful to health, limiting the application of adhesives in high-standard fields, such as food contact materials, where adhesives containing organotin catalysts cannot be used. Therefore, developing an environmentally friendly two-component silicone adhesive with good mechanical properties, rapid curing, and no organotin catalysts is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the mechanical properties and curing speed of silicone adhesives, this application provides a fast-curing, environmentally friendly two-component silicone adhesive and its preparation method.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a fast-curing, environmentally friendly two-component silicone adhesive, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] A fast-curing, environmentally friendly two-component silicone adhesive comprises component A and component B. Component A comprises the following components in parts by weight: 30-60 parts of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, 30-60 parts of inorganic filler, 1-10 parts of polyolefin elastomer-silicone graft polymer, 1-5 parts of amino silicone oil, 1-5 parts of fumed silica, and 0.2-1 parts of organic base catalyst. Component B comprises the following components in parts by weight: 30-60 parts of alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, 20-50 parts of inorganic filler, 1-10 parts of colorant, 1-5 parts of adhesion promoter, 5-15 parts of crosslinking agent, and 0.2-1 parts of titanate catalyst. The polyolefin elastomer-silicone graft polymer is an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer.

[0008] The inventors discovered that by synergistically combining hydroxyl-terminated and alkoxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, and introducing a EPDM-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer as a toughening enhancer, two-component silicone adhesives can possess excellent properties such as rapid curing, high toughness, and environmental friendliness. Specifically, hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, after activation by an organic base catalyst, form highly nucleophilic silanolates, providing ample reaction sites for the crosslinking reaction. Meanwhile, alkoxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, after activation by a titanate catalyst, exhibit enhanced electrophilicity, making them more susceptible to nucleophilic attack. When components A and B are mixed, the energy barrier of the condensation reaction is significantly lowered, not only increasing the crosslinking density of the reaction between components A and B but also effectively improving the curing speed of the two-component silicone adhesive. Furthermore, the alkoxy groups at the ends of the polydimethylsiloxane molecular chains with alkoxy groups are highly reactive groups. Once they are mixed with component A and come into contact with trace amounts of water diffused in the environment or system, they can undergo hydrolysis and condensation directly without prior activation, which further improves the curing speed of the two-component silicone adhesive.

[0009] The synergistic combination of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane not only solves the problem of slow colloid curing speed of pure hydroxyl system, but also makes up for the defect of insufficient crosslinking density of pure alkoxy system. This makes the whole curing process fast at the beginning and solid at the end, and the overall curing efficiency is far greater than that of single polymer system.

[0010] In two-component silicone adhesives, the polydimethylsiloxane segments in the EPDM-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer are thermodynamically compatible with hydroxyl-terminated and alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, achieving excellent dispersion. This allows the EPDM segments to be stably dispersed in the cross-linked network during rapid curing, increasing the impact resistance points of the colloid and improving its overall mechanical properties. When the rapidly cured colloid is subjected to external impact or tension, the EPDM segments can efficiently induce and terminate a large number of microcracks, preventing them from developing into destructive macrocracks and improving its impact resistance. At the same time, the colloid acts as a stress concentration point, inducing the orientation and slippage of the surrounding matrix polymer chains, absorbing a large amount of energy, and effectively improving the tensile strength of the colloid.

[0011] This application achieves unexpected improvements in mechanical properties and curing speed in two-component silicone adhesives through the synergistic effect of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, and EPDM-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer.

[0012] In one specific feasible implementation, the inorganic filler in component A is fused silica powder with a silane coupling agent surface modified.

[0013] Fused silica powder itself provides a skeletal support with high hardness and low coefficient of thermal expansion. After treatment with a silane coupling agent (such as vinyltrimethoxysilane), the interfacial compatibility is greatly improved, and filler agglomeration is prevented. This allows the filled system to achieve high modulus and high hardness while significantly reducing internal stress and greatly improving durability, with effects far superior to simple physical mixing.

[0014] Through the synergistic effect of surface modification with fused silica powder and silane coupling agent, the cured two-component silicone adhesive possesses excellent properties such as high mechanical strength, low shrinkage, and superior stability.

[0015] In one specific feasible implementation, the amino silicone oil in component A above has an ammonia value of 0.2-0.6 mmol / g.

[0016] The inventors discovered that adding amino silicone oil with an ammonia value of 0.2-0.6 mmol / g can give two-component silicone adhesives excellent adhesion, wet durability, and accelerated curing performance. Specifically, the amino group at one end of the amino silicone oil molecular chain is a strongly polar group that can generate a strong affinity for inorganic substrates such as glass, metal, and ceramics, and even form chemical bonds, especially in terms of wet bonding strength and durability. Meanwhile, the siloxane backbone at the other end of the amino silicone oil molecular chain is compatible with the silicone adhesive matrix, enabling the two-component silicone adhesive to have excellent adhesion. Furthermore, amino silicone oil itself is a flexible linear polymer; introducing it into the cross-linked network of the colloid not only increases the flexibility of the colloid network but also moderately increases the elongation at break of the cured colloid, thereby improving the toughness, impact resistance, and vibration resistance of the colloid.

[0017] Amino silicone oil itself contains basic amino groups, which can form a basic synergistic effect with organic base catalysts. The amino group can form strong hydrogen bonds with the hydrogen atoms in the silanol group, further increasing the electron cloud density of the silanol group and enhancing its nucleophilicity, thereby generating a highly nucleophilic silanolate.

[0018] In one specific feasible implementation, the organic base catalyst in component A above is 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene.

[0019] The inventors discovered that 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene, as a strong organic base, can efficiently activate the silanol groups at the ends of the hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane in component A, greatly enhancing its nucleophilicity. Simultaneously, the titanate in component B activates the silicon atoms in the crosslinking agent, enhancing its electrophilicity. The synergistic activation of these two components constitutes an "acid-base synergistic catalysis" system, achieving dual activation of both nucleophiles and electrophiles. This drastically lowers the energy barrier of the condensation reaction, resulting in a curing rate far exceeding that of traditional single acid or base catalysts. Deep curing is achieved in a very short time at room temperature, and the system is environmentally friendly and non-toxic.

[0020] In one specific implementation, component A further includes sodium-based bentonite that has been surface-modified with aminosilane.

[0021] By combining sodium-based bentonite modified with aminosilane surface and the moisture in the curing environment, a two-component organosilicon achieves excellent anti-sagging and accelerated deep curing properties. Specifically, the modified bentonite is stable during storage. After application, it preferentially absorbs ambient moisture and expands. This process locally releases water molecules, providing moisture for internal condensation reactions and accelerating deep curing. Furthermore, the sheet-like expansion physically crosslinks the polymer chains, generating post-curing thixotropy. This fundamentally solves the two major technological challenges of traditional colloids: surface dryness without internal dryness and sagging during vertical surface application, achieving a perfect balance between curing speed and workability.

[0022] In one specific implementation, the adhesion promoter in component B includes acrylate-containing aminosilane dimers and hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimers.

[0023] Through the synergistic combination of acrylate-containing aminosilane dimers and hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimers, two-component silicone adhesives achieve universal, robust, and ultra-durable bonding interfaces for inorganic and organic heterogeneous substrates.

[0024] Specifically, aminosilane dimers containing acrylate groups have good compatibility with substrates (such as plastics and rubber) and can improve interfacial wettability; aminosilane dimers containing hydroxyl groups contain hydroxyl and amino groups after epoxy ring opening, and have strong chemical bonding ability with polar substrates such as metals and glass. The combination of the two can broaden the range of adhesive acceptors and at the same time strengthen interfacial adhesion.

[0025] The residual active sites of the amino and acrylate groups in the aminosilane dimer containing acrylate groups can form a synergistic catalysis with the organic base catalyst of component A and the titanate catalyst of component B, promoting the cross-linking reaction of siloxanes; the hydroxyl groups of the aminosilane dimer containing hydroxyl groups can undergo a condensation reaction with cross-linking agents (such as alkoxysilanes), shortening the curing time, and together with the aminosilane dimer containing acrylate groups, achieve the requirement of "rapid curing".

[0026] The acrylate segments of aminosilane dimers containing acrylate groups can enhance compatibility with polyolefin elastomers-organosilicon graft polymers and reduce system stratification; the amino groups of aminosilane dimers containing hydroxyl groups interact with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of inorganic fillers (such as fused silica powder) to improve filler dispersibility. The combination of the two can balance system uniformity and storage stability.

[0027] In one specific implementation, the mass ratio of the acrylate-containing aminosilane dimer to the hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimer is 1:(0.8-1.2).

[0028] By combining acrylate-containing aminosilane dimers and hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimers in the above proportions, a high-performance interface layer is constructed for the colloid that meets both polar and non-polar bonding requirements while ensuring a stable curing rate.

[0029] When an excessive amount of acrylate-containing aminosilane dimer is added, the adhesion strength of the system to polar substrates (metals, glass) decreases, and the interface is easily peeled off after curing.

[0030] When an excessive amount of hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimer is added, the excess of amine groups may cause the siloxane to crosslink too quickly, resulting in "explosive polymerization" or uneven curing. At the same time, the compatibility with non-polar substrates (plastics, rubber) deteriorates, and the product lacks toughness.

[0031] In one specific implementation scheme, the crosslinking agent in component B is selected from one or more of methyltrimethoxysilane, tetramethoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, and ethyl silicate.

[0032] By adding the crosslinking agents listed above to the adhesive system, the crosslinking agents contain multiple hydrolyzable alkoxy groups, which can undergo condensation reactions with the active groups (such as Si-OH and alkoxy groups) in components A and B to form a three-dimensional crosslinking network, ensuring the curing strength and structural stability of the colloid. Multiple crosslinking agents can be flexibly combined, and the crosslinking density can be adjusted according to the needs to adapt to the requirements of different scenarios for the hardness and flexibility of the colloid. All of them are environmentally friendly reagents and meet the non-toxic environmental protection standards.

[0033] In one specific implementation, the titanate catalyst in component B is a chelated titanate, and the titanate catalyst is selected from one or more of bis(acetylacetone) titanate diisopropyl and bis(acetoethyl) titanate diisopropyl.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, chelated titanates (such as diisopropyl bis(acetylacetonyl)titanate) can avoid self-condensation, remain stable in component B for a long time, and maintain high catalytic activity at room temperature. Its titanium ions, as strong Lewis acid centers, can quickly activate the silicon atoms of the crosslinking agent and work synergistically with 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene to accelerate the curing reaction. At the same time, it does not contain organotin and meets the food-grade environmental certification requirements of LFGB, FDA, etc., thus expanding the application scenarios of adhesives (such as food contact material bonding).

[0035] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing a fast-curing, environmentally friendly two-component silicone adhesive, using the following technical solution:

[0036] A method for preparing a fast-curing, environmentally friendly two-component silicone adhesive includes the following steps:

[0037] S1. Preparation of component A: Hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, inorganic filler and EPDM rubber-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer are reacted under vacuum at 115-125℃. When the temperature is cooled to 30-40℃, an adhesion promoter, fumed silica and organic base catalyst are added under an inert atmosphere. After mixing evenly, the mixture is degassed under vacuum to obtain component A.

[0038] S2. Preparation of component B: Alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, inorganic filler and color paste are reacted under vacuum at 115-125℃. When the temperature is cooled to 30-40℃, an adhesion promoter, crosslinking agent and titanate catalyst are added under an inert atmosphere. After mixing evenly, vacuum degassing is performed to obtain component B.

[0039] S3. Mix component A obtained in step S1 and component B obtained in step S2 at a volume ratio of 1:1 to obtain the two-component silicone adhesive.

[0040] The two-component silicone adhesive prepared using the above steps possesses excellent properties such as rapid curing, high toughness, and environmental friendliness. Specifically, the vacuum reaction at 115-125℃ effectively removes moisture and low-boiling-point impurities from the raw materials, avoiding catalyst deactivation or colloid thickening caused by moisture; the addition of heat-sensitive components such as catalysts and adhesion promoters at a low temperature of 30-40℃ prevents premature decomposition or reaction, ensuring maximum functionality of each component; mixing under an inert atmosphere prevents oxidation of active groups such as amino groups, and vacuum degassing ensures no air bubbles inside the colloid, improving bonding reliability and appearance quality; the step-by-step preparation and separate storage of components A and B prevent premature cross-linking, and they can be mixed in equal proportions before use, making the operation convenient and efficient.

[0041] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0042] 1. This application utilizes the synergistic combination of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, and introduces EPDM-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer as a toughness enhancer, which enables the two-component silicone adhesive to have excellent properties of rapid curing, high toughness, and environmental friendliness.

[0043] 2. This application uses 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene as a strong organic base, in conjunction with the titanate catalyst in component B, to form an "acid-base synergistic catalysis" system, thereby achieving dual activation of nucleophiles and electrophiles, which drastically reduces the energy barrier of the condensation reaction and greatly improves the curing speed of the colloid.

[0044] 3. This application constructs a high-performance interface layer for the cured two-component silicone adhesive by rationally compounding acrylate-containing aminosilane dimers and hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimers as adhesive promoters, which takes into account both polar and non-polar adhesive requirements and ensures a stable curing rate.

[0093] The thixotropic index is defined as TI = low-speed viscosity / high-speed viscosity; the LFGB and FDA tests on the two-component silicone adhesives prepared in each embodiment and comparative example were conducted by the third-party testing organization SGS.

[0094] The test results are summarized in Table 1.

[0097] Combining Examples 1 and 2-6 with Table 1, it can be seen that the test performance of Example 1 is better than that of Examples 2-6. This may be because in Example 1, the acrylate-containing aminosilane dimer and the hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimer in component B are matched in a 1:1 mass ratio. This ratio can achieve the optimal synergistic effect—the hydrophobic interface protection effect of the acrylate-containing aminosilane dimer and the crosslinking density enhancement effect of the hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimer are balanced, which not only ensures the stability of the interface adhesion but also promotes the density and uniformity of the crosslinking network. In contrast, in Example 2 (acrylate-containing aminosilane dimer: hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimer = 2:1), the acrylate-containing aminosilane dimer is excessive, and in Example 3 (acrylate-containing aminosilane dimer: hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimer = 1:2), the hydroxyl-containing aminosilane dimer is excessive. This reduces the adhesion strength to the aluminum alloy substrate, weakens the adhesion applicability, and makes it impossible to achieve complete cohesion for the adhesion of ink glass and ABS. Example 6 uses only the commercially available coupling agent KH-792 as an adhesion promoter and is not suitable for bonding ABS plastic and ink glass.

[0098] The weakening of the hydrophobic protection effect at the interface resulted in a slightly inferior surface drying speed, hardness, and mechanical properties compared to Example 1.

[0099] Based on Example 1, Comparative Examples 1-2, and Table 1, it can be seen that the test performance of Example 1 is superior to that of Comparative Examples 1-2. This may be because Example 1 uses a compound system of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane. Alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane can react directly with water without waiting for pre-activation of the crosslinking agent, which greatly accelerates the reaction start-up speed. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 uses a single hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, and Comparative Example 2 uses a single alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, which results in slow reaction start-up, insufficient curing, significantly prolonged surface drying time, and insufficient crosslinking network density, which in turn leads to a significant decrease in hardness, tensile strength, and lap shear strength.

[0100] Based on Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, and referring to Table 1, it can be seen that the test performance of Example 1 is better than that of Comparative Example 3. This may be because EPDM-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer was added to component A of Example 1. As a flexible reinforcing phase, this polymer can not only improve the mechanical strength of the colloid, but also form a good synergistic effect with the organosilicon matrix and filler, promoting the densification of the crosslinking network. In contrast, Comparative Example 3 did not add this graft polymer, resulting in insufficient support of the colloid structure and poor uniformity of the crosslinking network, leading to varying degrees of decline in all performance aspects.

[0101] Based on Example 1, Comparative Examples 4-5, and Table 1, it can be seen that the test performance of Example 1 is superior to that of Comparative Examples 4-5. This may be because Example 1 uses an acid-base synergistic catalytic system of 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene and chelated titanate. 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene activates the silanol groups, and titanate activates the silicon centers of the crosslinking agent. The dual activation significantly reduces the reaction energy barrier and accelerates the curing reaction and the formation of the crosslinking network. In contrast, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 both use a single catalytic system, which cannot achieve the dual activation effect, resulting in a slower curing speed, lower crosslinking density, and lower hardness and mechanical properties compared to Example 1.

[0102] This application utilizes the synergistic combination of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and alkoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, combined with an acid-base synergistic catalytic system of 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene and chelated titanate, and introduces EPDM-polydimethylsiloxane graft polymer as a toughening enhancer, to enable the two-component silicone adhesive to possess excellent properties such as rapid curing, high toughness, and environmental friendliness.

[0103] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
