[0024] Preparation of plastisol A PVC plastisol was prepared, such as that used in the manufacture of topcoat films for flooring. The values in the plastisol formulations are in parts by weight. The formulation of the polymer composition is shown in Table 1. [Table 1]
[0025] Weigh out the liquid ingredients first, then the powdered ingredients into a PE beaker. The mixture is manually stirred with an ointment spatula to ensure that no unwetted powder is present. The mixing beaker is then clamped to the clamping device of a dissolver stirrer. After switching on the stirrer, the speed is slowly increased to about 2,000 rpm. Meanwhile, the plastisol is carefully degassed, keeping the pressure below 20 millibars. As soon as the plastisol reaches a temperature of about 30° C., the speed is reduced to about 350 rpm. The plastisol is then degassed for 9 minutes at said speed and at a pressure of less than 20 mbar. This ensures that the plastisol is homogenized at the specified energy input. The plastisol is then immediately equilibrated to 25.0° C. in a temperature-controlled cabinet for further study.
[0026] The gelling properties of plastisols. The gelling properties of the pastes were investigated on a Physica MCR 101 operating under shear stress control in oscillatory mode using a parallel plate analytical system (PP25). An additional heating hood was connected to the system to achieve uniform heat distribution and uniform sample temperature. The following parameters were set: Mode: Temperature Gradient Starting temperature 25℃ End temperature 180℃ Heating / cooling rate 5℃ / min Frequency 4-0.1Hz logarithmic ramp Period frequency ω:10 1 / s Number of measurement points: 63 Duration of measurement point: 0.5 min Automatic gap adjustment F:0N Duration of a constant measurement point Gap width: 0.5mm
[0027] Analytical procedures A spatula is used to apply a few grams of the paste to be analyzed, without any air bubbles, onto the lower plate of the analytical system, so that after the analytical system is assembled, some paste seeps out of the analytical system uniformly (no more than 6 mm in any direction). The heating hood is then placed over the sample and the analysis is started. The complex viscosity of the paste is measured as a function of temperature after 24 hours (the paste is stored at 25° C. in a Memmert temperature-controlled cabinet). A clear increase in the complex viscosity is taken as a measure of gelation. The comparison value used is therefore the temperature at which a paste viscosity of 1,000 Pa·s is reached. The experiment was repeated with three comparative plastisols, each using a different plasticizer. [Table 2]
[0028] The target value of 1,000 Pa·s could be achieved with the compound (1) of the present invention at 65° C. Such low gelling temperatures are advantageous in processing procedures. They allow plastisol processing at lower temperatures.
