Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of pigment chemical industry, and particularly to an anti-ultraviolet carbon black paste, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lignin is a kind of electron-rich polyaromatic organic compound, which is usually formed by bonding of three phenylpropylene monomers (p-hydroxyphenylpropylene, m-hydroxyphenylpropylene and m-methyl-p-hydroxyphenylpropylene). It has stable structure, rich aromatic ring and hydroxyl structure, which endows it with strong biological activity. As one of the naturally abundant renewable polymers, lignin has attracted much attention due to its unique properties. In recent years, lignin-based anti-ultraviolet functional materials have attracted much attention due to their different degrees of methoxyl-rich aromatic structure, high-efficiency ultraviolet absorption capacity and excellent antioxidant performance. These characteristics make lignin an excellent protective material, which can be used in various fields, including building materials, paint coatings, plastic products and textiles, etc. It shows great potential in resisting ultraviolet radiation, prolonging the service life of materials, protecting human health, etc.
[0003] Carbon black is an amorphous carbon, which is obtained by incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of natural gas, heavy oil, fuel oil and other organic matters under insufficient air. According to the use, there are two major categories of pigment carbon black and rubber carbon black. As an important chemical raw material and black pigment, carbon black has been widely used in rubber, ink, paint, plastic, dry battery and chemical fiber fields, which can improve the strength, anti-ultraviolet, light shielding, anti-static, conductive and other properties of the base material.
[0004] Color paste is a high-concentration pigment solution, which is commonly used for formulating ink, paint and pigment products. Its main components include pigment, solvent and dispersant. Pigment is responsible for providing the desired color effect, solvent is used to dissolve pigment and adjust the concentration, and dispersant ensures uniform dispersion of pigment in the solution. The role of color paste is to ensure that the pigment can be uniformly dispersed in the base material to achieve the consistency and stability of product color. Through color paste, precise formulation of various colors and shades can be achieved to meet the color requirements of different products.
[0005] Artificial leather, also known as synthetic leather or imitation leather, is a synthetic material designed to mimic the appearance and texture of natural leather. It is usually composed of various synthetic materials such as polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, etc., processed through special techniques. Artificial leather has good softness, wear resistance and stain resistance, and is relatively easy to clean, commonly used in the production of shoes, bags, sofas, clothing and other products. Compared with natural leather, the production process of artificial leather is more environmentally friendly, the cost is lower, and more styles and color choices can be achieved, but the existing artificial leather has poor anti-ultraviolet property and waterproof property. SUMMARY
[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide an anti-ultraviolet carbon black paste, its preparation method, and its application, thereby greatly improving the anti-ultraviolet and waterproof properties of the artificial leather prepared therefrom.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: an anti-ultraviolet carbon black paste, characterized in that it comprises the following components in parts by weight: 20-30 parts carbon black, 35-40 parts xylene, 10-15 parts lignin, 6-10 parts catalyst, 15-25 parts oily resin, 50-80 parts organic solvent, 4-6 parts silane coupling agent, 5-10 parts anti-ultraviolet additive, 3-6 parts wetting agent, and 5-10 parts dispersant.
[0008] According to claim 1, the UV-resistant carbon black paste is characterized in that the carbon black is obtained by thermal cracking of natural gas and oil, with a carbon content (%) ≥ 98.5 and a particle size of 130-470 nm.
[0009] As an improvement, the catalyst is one or more of concentrated sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and copper sulfate;
[0010] As an improvement, the oily resin is one or more of polyurethane resin, polyacrylic acid resin, and polyamide resin;
[0011] As an improvement, the organic solvent is one or more of xylene, acetone, methyl pyruvate, propanol, and naphtha;
[0012] As an improvement, the silane coupling agent is one or more of vinyltriethoxysilane, methoxytrimethoxysilane, propoxytrimethoxysilane, and polymethylsiloxane;
[0013] As an improvement, the UV-resistant additive is one or more of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium dioxide, and vanadium pentoxide, with a particle size of 30-50 nm.
[0014] As an improvement, the wetting agent is one or more of dimethicone, methyl methacrylate, and propanolamine, and the dispersant is one or more of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium xylenesulfonate, and stearic acid.
[0015] A method for preparing an anti-UV carbon black paste, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0016] S1. Carbon black particles are added to xylene and ultrasonically dispersed at room temperature for 20 minutes to ensure uniform dispersion of carbon black particles in xylene, thus preparing a carbon black dispersion.
[0017] S2. Add lignin and catalyst to the carbon black dispersion in S1. Stir magnetically at 800 rpm for 6-10 hours at 60-80℃. During the heating and stirring process, the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the carbon black particles and the carboxyl groups in the lignin undergo a condensation reaction to form stable ester bonds, achieving a tight composite of lignin and carbon black particles. This reaction utilizes the chemical affinity between the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the carbon black particles and the carboxyl groups in the lignin, thereby forming a strong chemical bond between the two. Subsequently, the mixture is separated by centrifugation, washed with anhydrous ethanol, and dried at 50-70℃ for 24 hours to obtain core-shell structured carbon black-lignin composite particles.
[0018] S3. Centrifuge the mixture in S2, wash with anhydrous ethanol, and dry at 50-70℃ for 24 hours to obtain core-shell structured carbon black lignin composite particles.
[0019] S4. The oily resin and organic solvent are first wetted under stirring conditions to obtain the first wetted slurry;
[0020] S5. The first wetting slurry is mixed with carbon black lignin composite particles, silane coupling agent, UV stabilizer, wetting agent and dispersant under stirring conditions to obtain the second wetting slurry.
[0021] S6. The second wetting slurry is added to the high-pressure homogenizer for third wetting to obtain the third wetting slurry.
[0022] S7. Grind the third wetting slurry to obtain an anti-ultraviolet carbon black slurry.
[0023] The application of an anti-UV carbon black paste in artificial leather involves coating the surface of the artificial leather with the prepared carbon black paste. After the carbon black paste is coated, the artificial leather is placed in a well-ventilated place to dry and cure, so as to ensure that the carbon black paste adheres firmly to the surface of the artificial leather and forms a uniform and stable coating.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Carbon black paste prepared from carbon black lignin composite particles modified with silane coupling agents exhibits improved hydrophobicity and UV resistance. Simultaneously, the UV-absorbing functional groups in lignin, such as phenols, ketones, and conjugated double bonds, enhance the UV resistance of the carbon black paste. Furthermore, the addition of UV-resistant additives further improves the UV resistance and stability of the carbon black paste, extending its shelf life. These carbon black lignin composite particles play a crucial role in the preparation of carbon black paste, endowing it with excellent UV resistance and hydrophobic properties. These improved properties make it more suitable for applications in various outdoor and high-humidity environments. Therefore, using this novel carbon black paste to coat artificial leather broadens the application range of artificial leather. Such artificial leather can resist UV radiation and moisture erosion and can be used in multiple fields such as automotive interiors, outdoor furniture, and footwear. Detailed Implementation

[0052]
[0053] Compared to Examples 2 and 3, this invention proposes a novel method. This method first uses carbon black particles as the core, then coats them with a layer of lignin to obtain carbon black-lignin composite particles. By modifying the carbon black-lignin composite particles with a silane coupling agent, not only is the compatibility between the carbon black particles and lignin improved, but the hydrophobicity of the composite particles is also enhanced. Lignin itself contains functional groups that absorb ultraviolet light, giving the prepared carbon black-lignin composite particles higher UV resistance. Furthermore, the addition of metal oxide UV-resistant additives during the preparation of the carbon black paste further improves the UV resistance of the carbon black paste. Therefore, the UV resistance and water resistance of the artificial leather coated with UV-resistant carbon black paste are significantly improved, meeting the required standards. This innovative method provides an effective way to improve the performance of artificial leather and lays the foundation for its wider application.
