Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high polymer materials, in particular to a rubber support resistant to seawater corrosion. BACKGROUND

[0002] In bridge, cross-sea building and other engineering structures, rubber supports become core support components due to their excellent elastic shock absorption and load transmission performance. However, in coastal and cross-sea engineering scenarios, the rubber layer of traditional rubber supports is in long-term contact with seawater medium, and the defect of insufficient corrosion resistance is increasingly prominent.

[0003] High-concentration chloride ions, sulfate ions and marine microorganisms contained in seawater systems are prone to chemical reactions with components such as cross-linking agents and reinforcing fillers in the rubber matrix, destroying the cross-linking network of the rubber molecular chain, and at the same time causing swelling, aging and cracking of the rubber surface. The existing technology mainly improves the weather resistance by adding a single antioxidant or modifying the filler, but does not specifically solve the problem of the synergistic effect of seawater ion corrosion and microbial degradation, resulting in mechanical property degradation, sealing failure and other faults of the rubber layer in seawater immersion conditions in a short period of time, which not only reduces the service life of the support, but also threatens the stability and safety of the entire engineering structure. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a rubber support that is suitable for marine environment and has excellent seawater corrosion resistance. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a rubber support resistant to seawater corrosion, which solves the problem of poor seawater corrosion resistance of the rubber support in the related art.

[0005] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows: The present application provides a rubber support resistant to seawater corrosion, which includes a steel plate layer and a rubber layer alternately stacked and combined. The rubber layer includes the following components by weight: 45-50 parts of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, 25-35 parts of chloroprene rubber, 5-8 parts of polypropylene, 3-5 parts of a compatibilizer, 2-4 parts of a vulcanizing agent, 1-3 parts of an active agent, 1-2 parts of a promoter, 0.5-1.5 parts of an antioxidant, and 6-12 parts of a corrosion-resistant system. The corrosion-resistant system includes the following components by weight: 5-10 parts of flaky filler, 2-5 parts of acicular wollastonite, and 1-3 parts of zinc benzoate.

[0006] As a further technical scheme, the flaky filler includes one or both of flaky graphite and mica flakes.

[0007] As a further technical scheme, the acicular wollastonite includes one or more of acicular wollastonite I, acicular wollastonite II, and acicular wollastonite III.

The length of the needle-shaped wollastonite III is 120 mu m, and the diameter is 15 mu m.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the needle-shaped wollastonite includes needle-shaped wollastonite I, needle-shaped wollastonite II and needle-shaped wollastonite III.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of the needle-shaped wollastonite I, the needle-shaped wollastonite II and the needle-shaped wollastonite III is 3:2:1-5.

[0010] In the corrosion-resistant system of the application, the needle-shaped wollastonite includes needle-shaped wollastonite I, needle-shaped wollastonite II and needle-shaped wollastonite III, which further improves the seawater corrosion resistance of the rubber support, the needle-shaped wollastonite I realizes fine filling and micro stress dispersion, the needle-shaped wollastonite II realizes reinforcing network construction and adsorption and slow release, the needle-shaped wollastonite III realizes macroscopic support and performance adjustment, and the synergistic effect of the barrier effect of the flaky filler and the protection effect of zinc benzoate is optimal, the diffusion path of the corrosion medium is prolonged, the permeation rate is reduced, and the seawater corrosion resistance of the rubber support is comprehensively improved.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the flaky filler has a flaky diameter of 40-50 mu m.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the vulcanizing agent includes a peroxide.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the compatibilizer includes one or more of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene and SEBS.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the anti-aging agent includes a hindered phenolic anti-aging agent and a phosphite anti-aging agent.

[0015] The application further provides a preparation method of the seawater corrosion-resistant rubber support. The components of the rubber layer are mixed to obtain a mixed rubber; The steel plate and the mixed rubber are alternately stacked and compounded, and vulcanized to obtain the rubber support.

[0016] The working principle and beneficial effects of the application are as follows: In the present application, the flaky filler, the acicular wollastonite and the zinc benzoate are used as the corrosion-resistant system of the rubber layer of the rubber support, which significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the rubber support. The flaky filler in the corrosion-resistant system forms a barrier structure to block the invasion of the corrosion medium, the acicular wollastonite fills and enhances the rubber structure, and absorbs and neutralizes harmful substances, and the zinc benzoate inhibits the oxidation and aging of the rubber, and the three are synergistic, which comprehensively improves the corrosion resistance of the rubber support. Compared with the rubber support protected by the traditional corrosion-resistant system, the rubber support of the present application can better resist the erosion of seawater and other corrosion media in the bridge construction in the coastal area, prolong the service life of the rubber support, reduce the maintenance cost of the bridge, and ensure the safety and stability of the bridge structure.
