Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe materials and application technology, specifically to plastic pipes with visible stabilization period and photodegradation function, as well as their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing technology, plastic sleeves (such as PVC, PE, and PP pipes) pre-embedded in building construction and plastic drainage or transportation pipes temporarily used in remote areas face significant technical challenges and environmental problems after their use functions are completed. Specifically, (1) after the main building structure is completed, the pre-embedded sleeves are difficult to disassemble manually due to their tight adhesion to the concrete, which is costly and can easily damage the concrete structure. (2) for temporary pipes in remote areas, traditional plastic pipes are difficult to degrade naturally under natural conditions. If they are recycled, a lot of labor, transportation, and recycling costs will be required; if they are directly buried on site, they will pollute the soil and damage the landscape for a long time. These problems all stem from the long-term stability of traditional plastic pipes and their lack of ability to degrade on their own after the end of their service life, which leads to complicated post-treatment and potential environmental hazards.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream plastic pipes on the market are mainly traditional plastic pipes. These pipes do not degrade under natural conditions and easily cause environmental pollution when discarded after their service life. The known new technology involves photodegradable plastic pipes, which degrade under light conditions. However, due to the uncontrollable nature of light conditions in the environment—with random fluctuations in light intensity and duration, and varying degrees of shading in different scenarios—existing photodegradable plastic pipes suffer from unpredictable lifespans and a lack of indication functions, leading to pipe breakage and damage, which can cause safety accidents or economic losses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a photodegradable plastic pipe with a lifespan indication function to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, this invention provides a plastic pipe with visualized stabilization period and photodegradation capabilities, along with its preparation method and applications. This pipe features visualized stabilization period control and performance maintenance, allowing the stabilization period to be adjusted arbitrarily from a few days to several years according to actual application needs, with the stabilization period status indicated visually. After the stabilization period ends, degradation can be achieved under light conditions. The pipe can be adjusted to change from a specific color to white before visual degradation, which is environmentally friendly and fully meets the needs of subsequent disassembly or degradation control, making it widely applicable.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: The plastic pipe provided by the present invention has a visual stabilization period and photodegradation function. It is a composite pipe structure with a visual stabilization period, an adjustable stabilization period duration, and an adjustable photodegradation function.

The formulation of the composite pipe includes: matrix resin and additives. When the composite pipe structure is a multi-layer composite pipe structure, its structure includes an outer pipe layer, an inner pipe layer, and a photodegradable functional additive composite layer. The outer and inner layers are composed of a base plastic resin and additives, and have specific light transmittance.

The pipeline formulation of this layer or zone includes: matrix resin, additives, and a photodegradable functional additive with a visible stabilization period, enabling it to maintain good mechanical properties of the pipeline within a preset stabilization period and achieve rapid degradation by light after the stabilization period ends. That is, after the stabilization period ends, under light conditions, the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated by the photocatalyst in the photodegradation functional additive can exert a photocatalytic effect on substances outside the photodegradation additive.

After the stabilization period, under light intensity of 0.1-50 mW / cm², the pipes will stabilize. 2 Under ultraviolet light, it can be completely degraded in 7-30 days, or under natural light, it can be completely degraded in 1-24 months.

[0017] The preparation method of the above-mentioned plastic pipe with visible stability and photodegradation function includes the following steps: S1. Ingredients and Mixing: Weigh the base resin, additives and functional auxiliaries with visible stability and photodegradation functions according to a specific ratio, and heat mix them in a high-speed mixer so that the auxiliaries are uniformly adsorbed on the surface of the resin particles. S2. Extrusion molding: The mixture is extruded in a conical twin-screw extruder. The temperature of each section of the die, neck and body, as well as the screw speed, are strictly controlled to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the pipe. S3. Sizing and Cooling: The pipe after extrusion molding is sized in a sizing box using the internal pressure internal diameter method and then cooled in a spray cooling water tank. S4. Traction and Cutting: The cooled and shaped pipe is stably pulled by a tracked traction machine and finally cut into a specified length by a cutting machine.
[0018] An application method for plastic pipes with visualized stabilization period and photodegradation functions. Visual indication: The pipe displays a specific color during the stabilization period, and the color changes after the stabilization period ends, visually indicating that it has entered the degradation stage; details are as follows: When the mass fraction of the functional additive with visible stability and photodegradation function added is less than 0.5 parts relative to 100 parts of the matrix resin, the pipe appears white; when the mass fraction of the functional additive added is between 0.5 and 50 parts, the plastic pipe appears one of the following specific colors: brown, coffee, tan, gray, blue, blue-brown, dark blue, green, scarlet, or purplish-red. The mechanism of visualization indication is as follows: During the stabilization period, under sunlight irradiation, the photogenerated electron-hole consumable in the photodegradation aid inhibits the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst, preventing the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated by the photocatalyst from exerting photocatalytic activity on substances outside the aid; after the stabilization period, the photogenerated electron-hole consumable becomes ineffective, and the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated by the photocatalyst under light conditions can exert photocatalytic activity on substances outside the photodegradation aid. With the release of this photocatalytic activity, the pipe color changes accordingly, that is, the pipe changes from a specific color to white before visual degradation begins, thus achieving visualization indication of the degradation stage.
[0019] Stabilization period controllability: By adjusting the type and ratio of functional additives, the stabilization period of the pipeline can be precisely controlled according to the actual application demand cycle; Photodegradation characteristics after stabilization period: After the stabilization period, the photodegradation activity of the photodegradation functional additive will be activated, triggering the breakage and degradation reaction of the plastic polymer chain, resulting in rapid degradation of the pipe under light conditions; as degradation proceeds, the pipe material gradually decomposes into fragments, thus eliminating the need for complex manual dismantling or recycling transportation.
[0020] This invention provides a plastic pipe with a visible stabilization period and photodegradation function. It has the following beneficial effects: (1) The plastic pipe with visual stabilization period and photodegradation function of the present invention aims to solve the problems of difficult post-processing and environmental pollution of existing plastic pipes. It proposes a functional additive with visual stabilization period and photodegradation function, so that the stabilization period can be controlled and the mechanical properties of the pipe can be maintained during the stabilization period. After the stabilization period, the photodegradation characteristics can be adjusted. After the stabilization period is over, the color change of the photocatalytic system in the pipe formula indicates the start of the plastic degradation period. The pipe can be adjusted to change from a specific color to white to visualize the degradation performance, which significantly reduces the cost of later pipe dismantling and waste transportation.
[0021] (2) The plastic pipe with visualized stabilization period and photodegradation function of the present invention, its preparation method and application, can achieve arbitrary adjustment of the stabilization period according to actual application needs, ranging from 5 days to 2 years. The stabilization period status is visualized, the stabilization period is controlled and the performance is maintained. After the stabilization period, it can be degraded. The pipe can be adjusted to change from a specific color to white to visualize the degradation performance. It is harmless to the environment and meets the actual needs of disassembly or degradation control in the later stage. It has a wide range of applications. It is especially suitable for the use of plastic sleeves for pre-embedded holes in building construction and temporary drainage or transportation pipelines in remote areas.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0025] The plastic pipe provided by this invention has a visual stabilization period and photodegradation function. It is a composite pipe structure with a visual stabilization period, an adjustable stabilization period duration, and an adjustable photodegradation function. After the pipe stabilizes, the pipe color can be adjusted to indicate the start of the plastic degradation period. After the stabilization period is over, the color change of the photocatalytic system in the pipe formulation indicates the start of the plastic degradation period. The pipe can be adjusted to change from a specific color to white to begin the visual degradation process. The composite pipe formulation includes: matrix resin and additives. When the composite pipe structure is a multi-layer composite pipe structure, its structure includes an outer pipe layer, an inner pipe layer, and a photodegradable functional additive composite layer. The outer and inner layers are composed of a base plastic resin and additives, and have specific light transmittance. The base resin used for the outer and inner pipe layers includes PVC, PE, PP, PET, PS, any one or more of these. The light transmittance requirements for the inner pipe layer are as follows: PVC pipe outer and inner layers >85%; PE pipe outer and inner layers >75%; PP pipe outer and inner layers >85%; the intermediate photodegradable functional additive composite layer is opaque or has a light transmittance ≤70%.
[0026] When the composite pipe structure is a single-layer composite pipe structure, the photodegradation functional composite area accounts for 100%; or the composite pipe structure includes a normal area and a photodegradation functional composite area, and the two are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the pipe.
[0027] The photodegradable functional additive composite layer or photodegradable functional composite zone contains a photodegradable functional additive with a visible stabilization period. The pipeline formulation of this layer or zone includes: a matrix resin, additives, and a photodegradable functional additive with a visible stabilization period, enabling it to maintain good mechanical properties of the pipeline within a preset stabilization period and achieve rapid degradation by light after the stabilization period ends.
[0028] After the stabilization period ends, under illumination, the photogenerated electron-hole pairs produced by the photocatalyst in the photodegradation functional aid can exert a photocatalytic effect on substances outside the photodegradation aid. The release of this photocatalytic activity causes a corresponding change in the pipe color, and the color change of the photocatalytic system indicates the start of the plastic degradation period. The functional aid with visualized stabilization period and photodegradation function is based on materials and the principle of visualized stabilization period, as disclosed in the authorized invention patent ZL201910388040.0 applied for by our research group. This patent discloses a photocatalytic system with photoresponsive switching and self-indication, as well as its preparation method and application. Specifically, the prepared photocatalytic system consists of a photoresponsive catalyst or modified photoresponsive catalyst, a photocatalyst photogenerated electron-hole consumable, and a photogenerated electron-hole consumable complex. Photoresponsive catalysts or modified photoresponsive catalysts specifically include photoresponsive NiO, MnO, BiTiO3, TiO2, ZnO, WO3, MoO2, MoS2, Co3O4, C3N4, SiC, CdSe, and NaTiO3, as well as photoresponsive modified NiO, modified MnO, modified BiTiO3, modified TiO2, modified ZnO, modified WO3, modified MoO2, modified MoS2, modified Co3O4, modified C3N4, modified SiC, modified CdSe, and modified NaTiO3, any one or more of these. Photocatalysts that consume photogenerated electron-hole pairs specifically include reversible redox couples or photogenerated electron-hole pair trapping agents; reversible redox couples specifically include I3... - / I - I2 / I - Cu 2+ / Cu + and Fe 3+ / Fe 2+The photogenerated electron-hole pair trapping agent is any one or more of the following: disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, AgNO3-HCOOH, (NH4)2C2O4, K2S2O8, AgNO3-triethanolamine, and KBrO3-NaHCO3. The photogenerated electron-hole consumable complex is specifically starch and a metal ion chelating agent. The metal ion chelating agent is any one or more of the following: ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid, 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)triazine, 8-hydroxyquinoline, and disodium sulfonate hydrate. A photocatalytic system with a photoresponsive switch and self-indicating properties is constructed by utilizing the color change before and after the reaction of the photogenerated electron-hole consumable agent with its complex. In the initial stage of illumination, the photocatalytic system has a certain color and does not exhibit photocatalytic activity. After a certain period of illumination, the color of the photocatalytic system changes, indicating highly efficient photocatalytic activity. This photocatalytic system, added as a filler to plastics, provides controllable, self-indicating degradation. This results in high stability during the plastic's service life and high degradation efficiency during its disposal. Furthermore, the color change of the photocatalytic system indicates to the user the start of the plastic's disposal period.
[0029] The mass fraction of functional additives with visible stability period and photodegradation function can be adjusted from 0.005 to 50 parts relative to 100 parts of matrix resin, thereby giving plastic pipes different visible stability periods, different stability period durations and different photodegradation performance.
[0030] The composite pipe of the present invention has an outer diameter of 50-110 mm, a thickness of 1.8-3.2 mm, and an inner diameter of 48.2-106.8 mm.
[0031] The mechanical and physical properties of composite pipelines during the stabilization period include the following: (1) Tensile strength: PVC pipe ≥40 MPa, PE pipe ≥22 MPa, PP pipe ≥30 MPa; (2) Vicat softening temperature: PVC pipe ≥74 °C, PE pipe ≥120 °C, PP pipe ≥131 °C; (3) Ring stiffness: PVC pipe ≥ 6 kN / m 2 PE pipe ≥8 kN / m 2 PP pipe ≥5 kJ / m 2 ; (4) Impact strength: PP pipe ≥ 5 kJ / m 2 .
[0032] The stabilization period of composite pipes under natural light ranges from 5 days to 2 years. After the stabilization period, under light intensity of 0.1-50 mW / cm², the pipes will stabilize. 2Under ultraviolet light, it can be completely degraded in 7-30 days, or under natural light, it can be completely degraded in 1-24 months.

S2. Extrusion molding: The mixture is extruded in a conical twin-screw extruder. The temperature of each section of the die, neck and body, as well as the screw speed, are strictly controlled to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the pipe. S3. Sizing and Cooling: The pipe after extrusion molding is sized in a sizing box using the internal pressure internal diameter method and then cooled in a spray cooling water tank. S4. Traction and Cutting: The cooled and shaped pipe is stably pulled by a tracked traction machine and finally cut into a specified length by a cutting machine.
[0034] The present invention relates to a method for applying plastic pipes with visible stabilization period and photodegradation function, specifically including the following aspects: Visual indication: The pipeline displays a specific color during the stabilization period, and the color changes after the stabilization period ends, visually indicating that it has entered the degradation stage; Stabilization period controllability: By adjusting the type and ratio of functional additives, the stabilization period of the pipeline can be precisely controlled according to the actual application demand cycle; Photodegradation characteristics after stabilization period: After the stabilization period, the photodegradation activity of the photodegradation functional additive will be activated, triggering the breakage and degradation reaction of the plastic polymer chain, resulting in rapid degradation of the pipe under light conditions; as degradation proceeds, the pipe material gradually decomposes into fragments and into environmentally harmless substances, thus eliminating the need for complex manual dismantling or recycling transportation.

Using the same preparation conditions as for outer layer 1 and inner layer 2, the photodegradable functional additive composite layer material is added to the high-speed mixer to obtain the photodegradable functional additive composite layer material.
[0051] S2. Extrusion Molding: After the temperature drops to 50 ℃, continue cold mixing at 100 rpm for 6-10 min. Subsequently, extrusion plasticization is performed in a conical twin-screw extruder using a three-layer co-extrusion die. The extrusion thicknesses of the three dies are set to 0.4 mm, 1.0 mm, and 0.4 mm, respectively. The outer layer material, PVC resin and photodegradable functional additive composite layer material, and inner layer material are added to the three die inlets, respectively. The die (inlet) temperature is strictly controlled at 180 ℃, the neck temperature at 170 ℃, and the body temperature at 170, 140, and 110 ℃ for the front, middle, and rear sections, respectively. The screw cooling temperature is maintained at 80~100 ℃, and the screw speed is 20–40 rpm.

Cooling is then performed in a spray cooling water bath at 15–25 ℃.
[0053] S4. Traction and Cutting: A tracked traction machine is used to stably and evenly pull the cooled and shaped pipes to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality. The finished pipes are then cut into commonly used lengths such as 4 m and 6 m using a cutting machine.

[0125] S4. Traction and Cutting: A tracked traction machine is used to stably and evenly pull the cooled and shaped pipes to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality. The finished pipes are then cut into commonly used lengths such as 4 m and 6 m using a cutting machine.
[0126] The PP plastic pipe prepared by this invention has a visible stabilization period and photodegradation function. The pipe has an outer diameter of 110 mm, a thickness of 2.7 mm, and an inner diameter of 107.3 mm. The stabilization period can be arbitrarily adjusted. Its tensile strength is ≥30 MPa, Vicat softening temperature is ≥131 ℃, and impact strength is ≥5 kJ / m. 2 Its density is 890-910 kg / m³ 3 The inner and outer walls are smooth.
[0127] This pipe is used for construction and drainage in remote areas, and the pipe body is opaque. By adjusting the mass ratio of functional additives with visual stability and photodegradation capabilities to the matrix resin within the range of 0.005 to 50, the plastic pipe can have different visual stability periods, adjustable from 5 days to 2 years. During the stable period, the photodegradation functional additive composite area 402 appears green and exhibits good performance. After the stability period ends, the photodegradation functional additive composite area 402 turns white under sunlight or light intensity of 50 mW / cm². 2 Under simulated light source conditions, the photodegradation functional additive composite zone can be broken down and degraded in at most one month.
[0128] Example 26 Same as Example 25, except that the component of the functional additive with visible stability period and photodegradation function is modified BiTiO3 instead of modified WO3, while all other conditions and parameters are the same.
[0129] Example 27 Same as Example 25, except that the component of the functional additive with visible stability and photodegradation function is replaced with (NH4)2C2O4 instead of AgNO3-triethanolamine, while all other conditions and parameters are the same.
[0130] The plastic pipes prepared in Examples 1-27 above can all achieve both a visible stabilization period and photodegradation functionality. Furthermore, by adjusting the mass ratio of the functional additives with both visual stabilization and photodegradation functions to the matrix resin within the range of 0.005 to 50, the stabilization period of the plastic pipes can be controllably adjusted from 5 days to 2 years. After the stabilization period, the simulated light source intensity ranges from 0.1 to 50 mW / cm². 2 All of these can enable functional additives with visible stability and photodegradation functions to activate photodegradability, thereby causing the plastic pipes to degrade.
[0131] Application Scenario 1: Plastic sleeves for pre-embedded holes in building construction In building construction, plastic sleeves (usually PVC, PE, and PP pipes) are typically pre-embedded before concrete pouring to reserve holes for pipes to penetrate walls, floors, or waterproofing structures. These pre-embedded sleeves only serve as formwork during the construction phase; once the main building structure is completed, these sleeves usually no longer bear any structural or functional responsibility. Existing sleeves use traditional plastic pipes, which are long-term stable materials and difficult to degrade naturally during the building's lifespan. Therefore, they are generally manually dismantled after the construction period. However, since the sleeves are often bonded to the concrete, this increases the difficulty of manual dismantling and can easily damage the concrete structure.
[0132] The present invention relates to a plastic pipe with a visible stabilization period and photodegradation function, used for manufacturing pre-embedded sleeves. The pipe includes: the construction period can be used as the stabilization period, and the stabilization period can be controlled by adjusting the type of functional additives with visible stabilization period and photodegradation function; within the set stabilization period, the pipe maintains its original mechanical properties such as strength, rigidity, and thermal stability, and meets various construction conditions such as transportation, construction, pouring, and subsequent installation.
[0133] After the stabilization period, the pipe degrades under sunlight, requiring only water flushing to remove pipe fragments; complex manual dismantling is unnecessary. Because this type of embedded pipe degrades under sunlight, does not bear long-term structural loads, and has no impact on building structural safety, the plastic pipe of this invention, with its visible stabilization period and photodegradation capabilities, meets the requirements of this scenario.
[0134] Application Scenario 2: Temporary drainage or transportation pipelines in remote areas In remote areas, mountainous regions, or field projects, plastic pipes (typically PVC, PE, and PP) are often used for temporary projects, such as temporary drainage, agricultural irrigation, mine drainage, and field engineering facilities. In remote areas, the disposal of these pipes after they reach the end of their service life is often a challenge. Recycling involves cumbersome processes such as manual dismantling, sorting and collection, long-distance transportation, and reuse, and is also expensive, with a total processing cost of approximately 2800–6500 yuan / ton. Direct on-site burial in deserts, plateaus, and forests poses environmental problems due to the non-degradability of plastic pipes under natural conditions, potentially damaging the soil and landscape.
[0135] The plastic pipes of this invention, featuring a visible stabilization period and photodegradation capabilities, can be used to manufacture temporary drainage or transportation pipelines in remote areas, solving the aforementioned problems. Specifically, the service life of the pipes of this invention is defined as the stabilization period. The stabilization period can be controlled by adjusting the types of functional additives that provide both visible stabilization and photodegradation capabilities. Within the set stabilization period, the plastic pipes maintain their original physical properties such as strength, impact resistance, and watertightness, meeting the requirements for long-distance transportation, installation, and other engineering applications.
[0136] When the pipeline reaches the end of its service life (end of the stabilization period) and is discarded, it can be directly stacked on-site and degrades under sunlight, eliminating the need for recycling and transportation. Because this type of plastic pipeline possesses excellent performance and degrades under sunlight after its service life, posing no harm to the environment, the plastic pipeline of this invention, with its visible stabilization period and photodegradation function, meets the requirements of this scenario.
[0137] In summary, the plastic pipe of the present invention features a visualized stabilization period and photodegradation function. The stabilization period can be arbitrarily adjusted according to actual application needs, ranging from a few days to several years. The stabilization period status is visualized. After the stabilization period, the color change of the photocatalytic system in the pipe formulation indicates the start of the plastic degradation period, meeting the actual needs for disassembly or degradation control in the later stages. It has a wide range of applications, and is especially suitable for the use of plastic sleeves for pre-embedded holes in building construction and temporary drainage or transportation pipelines in remote areas.
[0138] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention. For example, the base resin of the pipe may specifically include any one or more of the following components: PVC type includes: PVC-SG-3, PVCSG-5, PVCSG-7, PVC-SG-8, PVC-BY1600, PVC-BY4000, PVC-LP-400, PVC-S1001, PVC-P-1000; HDPE type includes: HDPE-7600M, HDPE-GH201, HDPE-23050; LDPE type includes: LD 6524.BA, LP2306, LD 15022.BA; LLDPE type includes: DNDB7149, DGDB 2463BK-3, RELENE® LL20DS010; PP types include: PP-4420, PP-1200, PP-RP2400, PP-H5416, PP-PA14D; PS types include: PS-550P, PS-GP5000, PS-POLYREX® PG-383, PS-666H, PS-202, PS-634; PET types include: PET-CP-318, PET-YS-W01, PET-KP3755, PET-PT X174, PET-FR530. The light intensity range that causes degradation of plastic pipes after the stabilization period is 0.1-50 m / cm². 2 The mass ratio of plastic resin to functional additives with visible stability and photodegradation capabilities in the pipe material can range from 100:0.005 to 100:50. Any one or more of the above-mentioned components can realize the plastic pipe with visible stability and photodegradation capabilities, its preparation method, and its application according to the present invention.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

10. The application method of the plastic pipe with visible stabilization period and photodegradation function according to any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that, Visual indicators: The pipeline displays a specific color during the stabilization period, and the color changes after the stabilization period ends, visually indicating that it has entered the degradation stage; details are as follows: When the mass fraction of the functional additive with visible stability and photodegradation function added is less than 0.5 parts relative to 100 parts of the matrix resin, the pipe appears white; when the mass fraction added is between 0.5 and 50 parts, the plastic pipe appears one of the following specific colors: brown, coffee, tan, gray, blue, blue-brown, dark blue, green, scarlet, or purplish-red. The mechanism of this visualization indicator is as follows: During the stable period, under sunlight irradiation, the photogenerated electron-hole consumable in the photodegradation aid inhibits the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst, preventing the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated by the photocatalyst from exerting photocatalytic activity on substances outside the aid; after the stable period, the photogenerated electron-hole consumable becomes ineffective, and the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated by the photocatalyst under light conditions can exert photocatalytic activity on substances outside the photodegradation aid. With the release of this photocatalytic activity, the pipe color changes accordingly, thus achieving a visual indication of the degradation stage; Stabilization period controllability: By adjusting the type and ratio of functional additives, the stabilization period of the pipeline can be precisely controlled according to the actual application demand cycle. Photodegradation characteristics after stabilization period: After the stabilization period, the photodegradation activity of the photodegradation functional additive will be activated, triggering the breakage and degradation reaction of the plastic polymer chain, changing the color of the pipe, and causing the pipe to degrade rapidly under light conditions; as degradation proceeds, the pipe material gradually decomposes into fragments, thus eliminating the need for complex manual dismantling or recycling transportation.
