[0041] Example 4 A method for preparing high-density polyethylene modified materials resistant to marophenol testing includes the following steps: High-density polyethylene resin (Dow KS10100UE, density 0.953 g / cm³) was used. 378 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (Formosa Plastics 7470M), 20 parts of processing aids (antioxidant 168 and antioxidant 1098, nucleating agent (nucleating agent P22), lubricant (lubricant 540A) and black masterbatch in a mass ratio of 0.5:0.5:0.5:1) were thoroughly mixed in a high-low mixer for 20 minutes to obtain a uniformly dispersed modified resin.
[0042] Example 5 A method for preparing high-density polyethylene modified materials resistant to marophenol testing includes the following steps: High-density polyethylene resin (Dow KS10100UE, density 0.953 g / cm³) was used. 3 78 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (Formosa Plastics 7470M), 20 parts of processing aids (antioxidant 168 and antioxidant 1098, nucleating agent (nucleating agent P22), lubricant (lubricant 540A) and black masterbatch in a mass ratio of 0.5:0.5:0.5:1) were melt-blended in a twin-screw extruder at 200°C.

The injection temperatures were 200°C at the feed section, 220°C at the intermediate section, and 210°C at the nozzle section. The injection pressure was 95 MPa, the holding pressure was 80 MPa, the mold temperature was 50°C, and the back pressure was 13 MPa, resulting in a high-speed rail springback pad (the actual object is shown in the image). Figure 1 (as shown) and standard tensile specimens (used to test the mechanical strength of products).
[0045] Application Examples 2-5 and Comparative Application Example 1 The difference from Application Example 1 is that the modified resin prepared in Example 1 was replaced with the modified resin prepared in Examples 2-5 and Comparative Example 1, respectively.
[0046] Performance testing The samples (high-speed rail rebound pad and standard tensile specimen) prepared for corresponding use cases 1 to 5 and comparative application example 1 were subjected to tensile strength and marophenol tests, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0047] The tensile strength test method refers to ISO 527-2, and the tensile strength test should be carried out strictly in accordance with this standard; The marophenol reagent (CAS No. 127087-87-0, or 37205-87-1) specified as NP9.5 is used in the marophenol test, and the NP9.5 content in the marophenol test solvent preparation is 5%. The test condition is 60℃. The specific test steps are as follows: Step 1: Equipment and Reagent Preparation Two sealable stainless steel or glass containers with sufficient volume to hold the test sample are required, along with a high-temperature drying oven, rubber gloves, at least one or two beakers (200mL and 1000mL), and an electronic scale (with a weighing capacity of approximately 2000g). Depending on the shape and quantity of the sample, prepare some metal blocks to hold the test sample in place.
[0048] Marophenol reagent (CAS No. 127087-87-0, or 37205-87-1) in specified specifications (e.g., NP10, NP9.5), distilled water.
[0049] Step 2: Preparation of marophenol aqueous solution Based on the size of the sample and container, estimate the volume required to completely submerge the sample, and estimate the required weight of the aqueous solution, generally in grams and rounded to the nearest hundred.
[0050] Calculate the required amount of marophenol reagent, weigh it in a small beaker and pour it into the prepared solution container. Because the reagent has a high viscosity, it is difficult to dissolve in water at room temperature or low temperature, so it is difficult to pour it out completely and cannot be rinsed clean with the water to be added. Therefore, the beaker can be placed directly into the solution preparation container.
[0051] Calculate the required amount of water (distilled water) according to the required concentration, weigh it in a large beaker and pour it into the solution preparation container.
[0052] Stir appropriately, then cover with a sealed lid and place the container in a high-temperature drying oven (note that if the oven uses bottom heating wires, the container cannot be placed directly on the bottom plate of the oven; at least one supporting plate is required to prevent the actual temperature of the bottom plate from being significantly higher than the required set temperature due to direct heat radiation from the heating wires). Heat at the specified temperature (generally 40~60℃) to ensure that marophenol dissolves well in water and that the solution reaches the temperature required for testing.
[0053] Step 3: Sample Placement Place the test sample into the test container. Sample placement rules: A. If prestressing or pre-deformation is required, fix the specified sample strip to the fixture with the required curvature. The sample strip should be exposed as much as possible to ensure full contact with the solvent. If there are multiple fixtures, they must not be directly stacked to avoid subjecting the sample to additional stress. B. If prestressing or pre-deformation is not required, place the sample directly into the test container. If there are multiple samples, they must not be directly stacked; a sample holder or support can be used for isolation. The sample should have as much surface area as possible in contact with the solvent. Parts of the sample with high stress, such as the main testing areas, bending or arc transition surfaces, and areas with abrupt changes in thickness, must not be directly overlapped or touched to ensure full contact with the solvent and avoid additional forces.
[0054] After the sample is placed, since HDPE has a lower specific gravity than the solution, to prevent the sample from floating after being added, a metal weight needs to be placed on top of the sample. The weight should not be placed on the main testing area or the area with high stress.
[0055] Table 1. Test results of samples prepared in Application Examples 1-5 and Comparative Application Example 1.
[0056] Note: The NP9.5 content in the marophenol experimental solvent preparation was 5%, and the test conditions were 60℃.
[0057] Figure 2 The graph shows the relationship between the vinyl acetate (VA) content of the product and the time required for the marophenol resistance test. The VA content is 0% for the control application example 1, 1.3% for the application example 1, 2.6% for the application example 2, 3.9% for the application example 3, and 5.2% for the application example 4.
[0058] From Table 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen from Application Examples 4 and 5, when the proportions of high-density polyethylene resin, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and processing aids are the same, the modified resin prepared by a twin-screw extruder exhibits significantly reduced tensile strength and marophenol test time. This is because during the twin-screw extrusion process, some resin decomposes under high temperature and shear force. Therefore, when processing such products, a high-low mixing mill should be selected for preparation.
[0059] By comparing Application Example 1, Application Example 2, Application Example 3, and Application Example 4, it was found that in the material system, as the VA content increases, the tensile strength of the product gradually decreases, and the marophenol resistance test time gradually increases. Moreover, when the VA content is between 1.3% and 5.2%, the marophenol resistance test time is ≥144h.
[0060] Although the above embodiments have provided a detailed description of the present invention, they are only some embodiments of the present invention and not all embodiments. People can obtain other embodiments based on these embodiments without creative effort, and these embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
