Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer material modification and processing aids, specifically to a processing lubricant composition for high weather-resistant polycarbonate hollow boards and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Polycarbonate (PC) hollow sheets, commonly known as sun sheets, are widely used in building skylights, agricultural greenhouses, highway sound barriers, and interior decoration due to their excellent light transmittance, high impact strength, good thermal insulation properties, and lightweight and easy installation. However, because polycarbonate molecules have relatively rigid chains, high melt viscosity, and relatively poor fluidity, and because the processing and molding temperatures are typically high (generally between 230 and 300°C), significant frictional resistance exists between the melt and the screw, barrel, and die flow channels during extrusion production, especially in the molding of complex multi-layer hollow structures. This not only leads to excessively high extrusion pressure and increased energy consumption but also easily causes quality defects such as difficulty in demolding, flow marks, clouding, or decreased surface smoothness.
[0003] To improve the processing rheology and release properties of polycarbonate, the industry typically adds processing lubricants to the resin. Existing lubricant systems mainly include fatty acid esters, fatty acid amides, polyethylene waxes, and traditional silicone oils. However, these existing technologies have significant drawbacks in practical applications: First, traditional small-molecule lubricants have limited compatibility with polycarbonate matrices and lack effective anchoring mechanisms. During high-temperature, high-shear extrusion processes or long-term storage and use of products, lubricant molecules easily migrate to the surface of the sheet. This "precipitation" phenomenon not only causes oil mist or white frost on the sheet surface, severely affecting the product's light transmittance and visual clarity, but also causes the precipitated low-molecular-weight substances to continuously accumulate at the die orifice, forming carbon deposits or dirt, forcing frequent production line shutdowns for cleaning, greatly reducing production efficiency and increasing maintenance costs.
[0004] Secondly, polycarbonate hollow sheets are mainly used in outdoor environments, where they are exposed to strong ultraviolet radiation and humid heat for extended periods. Many traditional lubricants have poor thermal stability and weather resistance, making them prone to degradation and discoloration during high-temperature processing, or inducing photo-oxidation reactions in the polycarbonate molecular chains during outdoor use, accelerating yellowing and embrittlement of the sheets, thus significantly shortening the product's lifespan.
[0005] Furthermore, using external lubricants such as high-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil solely for the purpose of achieving good mold release often leads to stress concentration due to uneven dispersion or poor compatibility, thereby impairing the impact resistance and interlayer bonding of the hollow board. Therefore, developing a processing lubricant composition that provides efficient lubrication and excellent mold release properties, while also exhibiting extremely low migration, superior weather resistance, and good compatibility with the polycarbonate matrix, has become a pressing technical challenge in the current manufacturing field of high-performance polycarbonate hollow boards. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing lubricants, such as easy migration and atomization, insufficient weather resistance, and poor processing thermal stability, and to provide a high-weather-resistant polycarbonate hollow board processing lubricant composition and its preparation method. This invention achieves chemical anchoring through the synergistic effect of its components, particularly by utilizing modified components containing polycarbonate-compatible segments and active functional groups. This imparts excellent processing fluidity and release properties to polycarbonate while fundamentally solving the problems of surface atomization and mold contamination caused by lubricant precipitation. Furthermore, it significantly improves the light transmittance retention, thermal stability, and outdoor weather resistance of the finished hollow board product.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a processing lubricant composition for high weather-resistant polycarbonate hollow boards, the raw materials of which include the following components in parts by weight: 20-45 parts of weather-resistant internal lubricant; 10-25 parts of weather-resistant external lubricant; 2-10 parts of low-migration slippery component; Anti-drip heat stabilizer 0.3-2.0 parts; 0.5-6 parts of weather-stabilizing component; 8-25 parts of modified siloxane graft; Dispersed phase 20-55 parts; The modified siloxane graft compound is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 35-55 parts of reactive terminal siloxane, 20-45 parts of siloxane grafting precursor, 0.05-0.50 parts of reaction control system, 0.10-0.80 parts of neutral stabilizer, and 10-25 parts of diluent. The neutral stabilizer is .

[0013] Furthermore, the dispersed phase is selected from at least one of the following: polycarbonate powder, polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate copolyester, and polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate copolyester.
[0014] Furthermore, the reactive terminal siloxane is selected from at least one of the following: single-terminated glycidyl ether polydimethylsiloxane, double-terminated glycidyl ether polydimethylsiloxane, single-terminated aminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane, and double-terminated aminopropyl polydimethylsiloxane.
[0015] Furthermore, the siloxane grafting precursor is selected from: amino-modified polysiloxanes with -RNH2 in the side chain, specifically: KF-393 and KF-859 (Shin-Etsu Chemical).
[0016] Furthermore, the structure of the siloxane grafting precursor is as follows: The Organic group is -RNHR'NH2.
[0017] Furthermore, the reaction regulation system includes a catalyst and an inhibitor; Furthermore, the catalyst is selected from at least one of: dibutyltin dilaurate, stannous octoate, triethylamine, and triethylenediamine; Furthermore, the inhibitor is selected from at least one of calcium stearate, epoxidized soybean oil, and triphenyl phosphite; Furthermore, the diluent is selected from at least one of the following: dioctyl sebacate, diisodecyl adipate, polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and polypropylene glycol dimethyl ether.
[0018] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified siloxane graft is as follows: under inert gas protection, the reactive terminal siloxane, the siloxane grafting precursor and the diluent are added to a reaction vessel, heated to 90-120℃ and stirred evenly at 300-500 rpm; then the reaction control system is added, and the coupling grafting reaction is carried out at 100-115℃ for 1-3 hours; after the reaction is completed, the neutral stabilizer is added to terminate the side reaction, and stirring is continued for 30-50 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is filtered through a filter screen to obtain the modified siloxane graft.
[0019] A method for preparing a processing lubricant composition for high weather-resistant polycarbonate hollow boards includes the following steps: 1) Premixing: According to the mass ratio, the weather-resistant internal lubricant, weather-resistant external lubricant, low-migration slip component, anti-drip heat stabilizer synergist, weather-resistant stabilizing component, modified siloxane graft and dispersed phase are put into a high-pressure mixer for mixing to obtain a premix; 2) Melt extrusion: The premixed material is added to a twin-screw extruder for melt granulation; 3) Cooling and pelletizing: After the extrudate is cooled in a water cooling tank, it is pelletized by a pelletizer and dried to obtain the processing lubricant composition for high weather-resistant polycarbonate hollow boards.
[0020] Furthermore, the mixing conditions described in step 1) are: temperature 40 to 60°C, rotation speed 800 to 1200 revolutions per minute, and mixing time 10 to 20 minutes.
[0021] Furthermore, in step 2), the temperature settings for each zone of the twin-screw extruder are as follows: Zone 1 180 to 200°C, Zone 2 210 to 230°C, Zone 3 230 to 250°C, Zone 4 240 to 260°C, Zone 5 240 to 260°C, and the die head temperature 230 to 250°C; the screw speed is controlled at 200 to 400 revolutions per minute.
[0022] Furthermore, the drying conditions described in step 3) are: drying at 80 to 100°C for 3 to 5 hours.
[0023] This invention provides a high-weather-resistant processing lubricant composition for polycarbonate hollow boards, comprising internal and external dual lubrication, a low-migration slippery framework, chemically anchored siloxanes, thermal / photochemical dual stabilization, and a dispersion carrier. This composition addresses issues encountered during PC hollow board extrusion, such as high friction and pressure, flow marks, uneven demolding, and problems caused by migration and precipitation of traditional lubricants leading to atomization, mold contamination, and yellowing and embrittlement due to insufficient weather resistance. On one hand, the weather-resistant internal lubricant preferentially penetrates the melt to reduce internal friction between chain segments / particles, while the weather-resistant external lubricant forms a stable slip layer at the melt-metal interface. Together, these components significantly reduce extrusion resistance and pressure, decrease flow marks, and improve demolding and surface gloss. Simultaneously, the introduction of low-migration slippery components provides a more inert, shear-resistant slippery phase, enhancing long-term low-friction and anti-adhesion capabilities, and reducing the tendency for carbon / fouling induced by low-molecular-weight accumulation at the die. Modified siloxane grafts containing active functional groups and PC-compatible segments trigger chemical anchoring during high-temperature, high-shear processing, enabling lubrication-related components to bond / anchor in situ with the PC molecular chain. This fundamentally blocks the pathways of traditional small-molecule lubricants due to poor compatibility, thereby maintaining long-term light transmittance and extending the mold clearing cycle. Regarding stability, the anti-dripping thermal stabilizer synergistically works with the neutral stabilizer in the graft to capture free radicals / decompose peroxides while passivating side reaction active sites, thus inhibiting the thermal degradation and hydrolysis of PC under high-temperature shear, preventing discoloration and mechanical degradation. Furthermore, the weather-resistant stabilizing components are microscopically compounded with the modified siloxane grafts to construct a multi-dimensional light protection network, improving UV shielding / absorption efficiency, inhibiting yellowing and embrittlement caused by photo-oxidation, and meeting the outdoor service requirements of hollow boards. The dispersed phase, acting as a carrier, works in conjunction with the grafted material to create a stable and uniform micro-dispersion of the aforementioned additives in a high-viscosity PC system. This avoids stress concentration and performance inhomogeneity caused by agglomeration, thereby solving the technical problem.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention introduces modified siloxane grafts containing specific active functional groups and polycarbonate-compatible segments, utilizing a chemical anchoring mechanism to enable in-situ chemical bonding between the lubricating component and the PC molecular chain during processing. This solves the problem of easy migration and precipitation of traditional small-molecule lubricants, effectively avoids fogging on the surface of hollow boards, maintains the long-term light transmittance of the board, and significantly extends the mold cleaning cycle of the extrusion die.
[0025] 2. The synergistic effect of the components in this invention reduces internal friction of the melt and forms a stable slip layer at the interface between the melt and the mold, significantly reducing extrusion pressure, eliminating flow marks and clouding, and giving the product excellent demolding smoothness and surface gloss.
[0026] 3. By introducing a neutral stabilizer with a specific structure into the modified siloxane graft, the side reaction active sites during the modification process are passivated. It also produces a strong synergistic effect with the anti-dripping thermal stabilizer, effectively inhibiting the thermal degradation and hydrolysis of PC under high temperature and high shear, and preventing material discoloration and decline in mechanical properties.
[0027] 4. The microscopic combination of weather-resistant stabilizing components and modified siloxane grafts constructs a multidimensional photoprotection network in the polycarbonate matrix, enhancing the shielding and absorption efficiency of ultraviolet rays, effectively inhibiting yellowing and embrittlement caused by photo-oxidative degradation, and significantly improving the service life of polycarbonate hollow boards in harsh outdoor environments.
[0028] 5. The combination of the dispersed phase and the modified siloxane graft ensures the microscopic uniform dispersion of each functional additive in the high-viscosity polycarbonate matrix, avoids material defects caused by additive agglomeration, and guarantees the uniformity of the physical properties of the hollow board.

[0055] Performance testing: 1. Sample Preparation: The PC resin and lubricant composition was put into a high-pressure mixer, the temperature was set at 50℃ and the speed at 1000 r / min, and the mixture was mixed for 15 min to obtain a uniform premix. The premix was then added to a twin-screw extruder, and the temperatures of each zone of the extruder were set as follows: Zone 1 190℃, Zone 2 220℃, Zone 3 240℃, Zone 4 250℃, Zone 5 250℃, and the die head temperature 240℃. The screw speed was 300 r / min. After melt extrusion, the mixture was water-cooled and pelletized, and then dried (90℃ / 4h) to obtain modified PC granules. The modified PC granules were injection molded into impact test strips (GB / T1843-2008 simple supported beam without notch) and tensile test strips (GB / T1040-2006 Type I). Hollow board samples: Hollow board samples of 100mm×100mm×4mm (uniform wall thickness, no obvious bubbles or cracks) were extruded through a hollow board extruder.
[0056] 2. Demolding force test: Fix the standard injection molded sample (100mm×10mm×4mm) inside the mold, and pull the sample out of the mold at a uniform speed using a tensile testing machine. Record the maximum tensile force as the demolding force. The data is shown in Table 1.
[0057] 3. Surface smoothness test: Refer to the test method of GB / T1031-2009 "Surface roughness parameters and their values of plastics", randomly select 5 test points on the surface of the strip or hollow board sample (avoiding the edges) and test the Ra value. The data are shown in Table 1.
[0058] 4. Surface haze degree (haze change): Refer to the test method of GB / T2410-2008 "Determination of light transmittance and haze of transparent plastics"; test the initial haze (H0) of the hollow board sample; place the sample in a constant temperature and humidity chamber, set the temperature to 80℃ and the humidity to 50%RH, and age for 1000h; after cooling to room temperature, test the haze (H1) after aging, and calculate the haze increment ΔH=H1-H0. The data are shown in Table 1.
[0059] 5. Yellowing Index (YI) Test: Refer to the test method of GB / T2409-1980 "Test Method for Yellowing Index of Plastics"; test the initial yellowing index (YI0) of the test specimen; age for 2000h under the UV aging conditions of transmittance retention test; test the yellowing index (YI1) after aging, and calculate the yellowing index increment ΔYI=YI1-YI0. The data are shown in Table 1.
[0060] Table 1 Examples 1-3 exhibited the smallest haze increments. The modified siloxane grafts contain PC-compatible segments. During processing, these segments bond in situ with the PC chains, locking the lubricant components within the matrix and fundamentally solving the haze problem caused by the migration and release of small molecules. In contrast, the comparative examples lacked effective grafting structures or eliminated physical mixing, making the lubricant prone to migrating to the surface during high-temperature aging, resulting in a significant increase in ΔH.
[0061] Internal lubricant (forming pentaerythritol stearate) reduces intermolecular friction, while external lubricant creates a slip layer. Physical mixing (Comparative Example 6), although having a lubricating effect, suffers from poor compatibility, leading to localized concentrated or uneven surface distribution, resulting in a high Ra value and poor release force due to the lack of uniform molecular-level distribution.
[0062] The prepared neutral stabilizer combines a hindered phenolic antioxidant structure with ethylene oxide functionality. Comparative Examples 1-3 induced an acute or decreased reaction in PC at high temperatures, resulting in significant yellowing of the stabilizer, with Comparative Example 3 showing the most severe yellowing, demonstrating the crucial role of this specific structure in inhibiting photo-oxidation and thermal degradation.
