AI Technical Summary
Traditional car cover materials have poor adhesion to complex curved surfaces and are prone to brittleness in low-temperature environments, leading to problems such as whitening, cracking, and edge curling during construction. In addition, the protection period is short and it is difficult to meet the needs of long-term protection.
A polycarbonate-type polyurethane elastomer was combined with a core-shell PUR-ACR-OH toughening agent to prepare a stretchable PCU car cover using a single-screw extruder. A high-toughness polyurethane elastomer was formed by reacting polycarbonate diol with 4,4-diisocyanate dicyclohexylmethane, and a core-shell structure was constructed through emulsion seed polymerization to enhance the material's stretchability.
It achieves impact resistance and self-healing ability in high temperature and high humidity environments, maintains high toughness at low temperatures, improves the extensibility and weather resistance of car covers, avoids the brittleness and cracking problems of traditional car covers, and extends the protection period.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of car cover materials technology, and in particular to a stretchable PCU car cover and its manufacturing process. Background Technology
[0002] When cars are used outdoors, they are constantly exposed to a combination of environmental stresses, including sand and dust erosion, acid rain corrosion, hail impact, and ultraviolet radiation, leading to irreversible damage to the paint such as cracking, fading, and other issues. Traditional protective measures such as waxing and polishing require frequent maintenance, increasing both economic and time costs, and their short protection period fails to meet car owners' needs for "long-lasting protection." Against this backdrop, car wraps (car paint protection films) are gradually becoming the mainstream solution.
[0003] Thermoplastic polyurethane has become the mainstream choice for high-end car cover substrates due to its excellent toughness, high strength, non-toxicity, odorlessness, and excellent heat processing properties. Existing car covers are mainly films made from polyurethane elastomer granules through special processes such as calendering, casting, blown film production, and coating. They are increasingly popular due to their superior performance and environmental friendliness. However, traditional polyether or polyester-based polyurethane elastomer car cover substrates generally have low elongation at break, and the material is prone to hardening and embrittlement, especially at low temperatures, making it difficult to adhere to complex curved surfaces and leading to problems such as whitening, cracking, and edge curling during installation.

Heat to 65-75℃ at 300-500 rpm and react for 30-40 minutes to obtain PBA seed latex particles. T3. The polyurethane prepolymer obtained in T1 is dropped into the PBA seed latex particles obtained in T2, and 0.3-0.4 parts of ammonium persulfate are added. After reacting for 2-3 hours, PUR-ACR latex particles are obtained. T4. Mix 7.5-15 parts of ammonium persulfate and 1.5-3 parts of hydroxyethyl acrylate, then add the mixture dropwise to the PUR-ACR latex particles obtained in T3, and add 0.05-0.1 parts of ammonium persulfate. After reacting for 2-3 hours, cool to room temperature, and discharge the material to obtain PUR-ACR-OH latex particles. T5. Add ethanol to the PUR-ACR-OH latex particles obtained in T4 and freeze for 24-30 hours to demulsify. Then dry in a forced-air dryer at 60-70℃ for 12-16 hours to obtain the core-shell type PUR-ACR-OH toughening agent.
