Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of adhesive technology, and more specifically, to an organosilicon-modified polyurethane resin, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] MS sealant is an environmentally friendly sealant based on silane-modified polyether resin. It combines the characteristics of polyurethane and silicone adhesives, offering excellent adhesion and safety, making it widely used in building sealing and decoration. The original MS resin was invented by Kaneka Corporation of Japan. It is a polymer with a long carbon-oxygen ether chain in the middle segment and trialkoxysilane end caps at both ends. Later, companies such as Wacker Chemie introduced urethane structures by reacting -NCO and -OH to end the long-chain polyether, resulting in SPE resin. However, when used as adhesives, these two resins lack side groups in the middle polyether chain, thus failing to provide sufficient effective adhesion-promoting groups and having limited crosslinking density. This leads to insufficient adhesive strength and a narrow application range, especially for materials like glass and acrylic glass, where adhesion strength is low. Furthermore, insufficient crosslinking can cause surface stickiness and cracking after high temperature and UV exposure, limiting the use of MS sealant in certain applications.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues and overcome the shortcomings of insufficient adhesive and bulk strength in MS sealant, existing technologies offer the solution of preparing silicone-modified polyurethane resin as the sealant matrix resin. This involves reacting low-molecular-weight polyether polyols and diisocyanates to generate high-molecular-weight hydroxyl-terminated or NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymers. Finally, a silane coupling agent with amino or NCO groups is used for secondary end-capping, ultimately producing a silane-modified polyurethane resin, known as SPU resin. Currently, sealants prepared using this type of resin are widely used in China. Compared to sealants prepared using resins from the Kaneka and Wacker routes, these sealants offer a wider bonding surface, improved adhesive strength, and lower cost. However, it still has shortcomings such as insufficient adhesion to difficult-to-bond materials, insufficient resin weather resistance, and insufficient tensile strength. In particular, when preparing transparent sealants, since they are directly exposed to sunlight, it is impossible to add different fillers for shielding, and the selection of various weather-resistant additives (antioxidants, UV absorbers, etc.) is narrow due to the transparency requirement. Therefore, transparent sealants made of SPU resin are more prone to yellowing, cracking, and stickiness compared to black and white sealants.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing silicone-modified polyurethane resin, which is mainly used to address the shortcomings of existing MS sealants and their derivative products, such as insufficient adhesion, insufficient weather resistance, and insufficient tensile strength of the silane-modified polyurethane resin (SPU resin, matrix resin).

[0006] A second objective of this invention is to provide an organosilicon-modified polyurethane resin.

[0007] The third objective of this invention is to provide a silicone-modified polyurethane transparent sealant to address the defects of conventional SPU resins in the preparation of transparent sealants, such as easy yellowing, cracking, and sticky surface.

[0008] The fourth objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a silicone-modified polyurethane transparent sealant.

[0009] The fifth objective of this invention is to provide an application of the silicone-modified polyurethane resin and / or the silicone-modified polyurethane transparent sealant.

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention, the following technical solution is adopted: A method for preparing an organosilicon-modified polyurethane resin includes the following steps: An anhydrous mixture comprising polyether polyol and hydrogen-containing silicone oil is prepared. Polyisocyanate and a first catalyst are added dropwise to the anhydrous mixture, and a polymerization reaction is carried out at 70°C to 80°C until the content of isocyanate groups is <0.06 wt.%, to obtain a reaction solution. A solvent is added to the reaction solution, followed by the dropwise addition of an acrylate compound and a second catalyst. An addition reaction is carried out at 40°C to 50°C to obtain an organosilicon-modified polyurethane prepolymer with ester side chains. An isocyanate silane coupling agent is added to the silicone-modified polyurethane prepolymer, and a crosslinking reaction is carried out at 70°C to 80°C. Then, the mixture is placed under vacuum to obtain a silicone-modified polyurethane resin.

[0011] An organosilicon-modified polyurethane resin is prepared using a method comprising the preparation of the organosilicon-modified polyurethane resin described above.

[0012] A silicone-modified polyurethane transparent sealant, comprising the following components in parts by weight: The composition includes 60-100 parts of silicone-modified polyurethane resin, 3-25 parts of reinforcing filler, 0.01-0.5 parts of matting pigment, 0.01-3 parts of antioxidant, 0.01-3 parts of ultraviolet absorber, 0.01-3 parts of light stabilizer, 0.1-10 parts of dehydrating agent, 0.1-10 parts of tackifier, and 0.01-2 parts of catalyst.

[0013] A method for preparing the aforementioned silicone-modified polyurethane transparent sealant includes the following steps: (1) The silicone-modified polyurethane resin, matting pigment, antioxidant, ultraviolet absorber, light stabilizer and part of the dehydrating agent are thoroughly mixed under vacuum to obtain the first mixture; (2) Under a protective atmosphere, reinforcing filler is added to the first mixture in 2 to 5 portions and mixed thoroughly to obtain a second mixture; (3) Under vacuum, the second mixture is processed at 50°C to 60°C using a double planetary mixing apparatus to obtain the third mixture; (4) Under a protective atmosphere, add a tackifier to the third mixture and mix thoroughly, then add a catalyst and the remaining dehydrating agent, and after thorough mixing, obtain a silicone-modified polyurethane transparent sealant.

[0014] Use of at least one of the aforementioned silicone-modified polyurethane resin and the aforementioned silicone-modified polyurethane transparent sealant in building sealing and decoration.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Commercially available silane-modified resins or other existing ester-based silicone-modified polyurethane resins are mostly linear molecules with a high number of ether and CN bonds. After being made into transparent sealants, their weather resistance and strength drop sharply compared to black and white sealants, making them difficult to use for long periods in high-temperature, high-humidity, or high-UV outdoor environments, easily leading to yellowing, brittleness, stickiness, cracking, and other damage. In contrast, this invention provides a silicone-modified polyurethane resin that can be used as a base resin for transparent sealants. It has silicone segments and crosslinkable ester side chains. The ester side chains can react with the amino groups in the silane coupling agent to form an interpenetrating network crosslinked structure, which greatly improves the strength of the sealant after curing. Furthermore, the acrylate groups are strongly polar groups, which helps to enhance the wettability of the resin to the substrate surface, thereby enhancing the adhesive strength. In addition, the silicone segments in the main resin chain also greatly improve the colloid strength and weather resistance, resulting in significant advantages in the cured bulk strength, adhesive strength, and resistance to photothermal aging.

[0016] (2) The organosilicon modified resin of the present invention uses low molecular weight, low viscosity polyether polyol and hydroxyl-terminated silicone oil as raw materials, and has more cross-linking points in the molecular chain, so that the sealant forms a strong cross-linking network at a lower molecular weight. It is not necessary to use plasticizers to improve the production and processing performance. Therefore, there is no risk of plasticizer precipitation, which further improves the overall strength and weather resistance of the sealant.

[0017] (3) Existing SPU resins generally cannot be dehydrated in high-temperature environments above 100°C. During storage and production, moisture is easily introduced and cannot be completely removed, affecting storage stability. In this invention, polyether and hydroxyl silicone oil are used as raw materials. High-temperature dehydration is carried out in the initial synthesis, and the reaction is controlled to be carried out in a protective gas environment throughout the process, so that moisture and air are not introduced, which greatly improves the storage stability of the resin.

[0018] (4) The present invention uses a specific hydroxyl silicone oil with less hydrogen content in its side chain, so the ester side chain formed will not be over-crosslinked and affect the flexibility of the sealant; the organosilicon segments themselves are relatively flexible, and the side groups can easily move on the organosilicon segments and are easy to crosslink; therefore, compared with alkyl side chains, the resin of the present invention is not easy to become brittle after curing, and has less impact on the elongation at break. Moreover, the side groups are all Si-C and CC connected, with high bond energy, and do not contain chemical bonds such as CO and CN that are easy to break, making them difficult to break. Therefore, the colloid itself has high strength, strong resistance to damp heat aging and strong tear resistance.

[0019] (5) The present invention provides a silane-modified polyurethane resin with ester side chains, wherein the ester side chains introduced by the acrylate substances have low surface energy, which makes the wettability of the prepared sealant and the interface more excellent, and the interface affinity will not be reduced due to the introduction of organosilicon segments, and the effect on the adhesiveness of the sealant is small.

Turn on the agitator (40 rpm) and the bottom dispersion unit (1000 rpm) to quickly mix the filler into the resin base. During this period, the temperature inside the vessel should be maintained at 50℃.
