Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing soft elastic products (such as gloves, condoms, etc.), and particularly relates to a polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion, a preparation method thereof, and use, which are advantageous for obtaining high-performance soft elastic products.
Background Art
[0002] Soft elastic products, such as disposable glove products, are widely applied in fields such as medical gloves, inspection gloves, household and industrial uses, etc. Currently, the materials used for manufacturing soft elastic products (such as disposable gloves, condoms, etc.) in the market mainly include natural latex, chloroprene rubber, nitrile rubber, PVC, etc. Since natural latex contains proteins, it is likely to cause allergic reactions in some people. In addition, products such as chloroprene rubber and nitrile rubber have problems such as strong odor and high production pollution degree. Comparatively, polyurethane dispersions are superior to the resins of several of the above materials in terms of mechanical strength, stretchability, air permeability, and environmental protection in the glove manufacturing process. Currently, there are several research reports on producing soft elastic products using polyurethane.
[0003] Patent document CN104725590B discloses a polyurethane dispersion with a low elastic modulus used for disposable gloves. The polyurethane dispersion employs poly(tetramethylene oxide) glycol, polypropylene glycol, and tolylene diisocyanate as raw materials. The manufactured gloves have performance similar to rubber products. However, the products manufactured with polypropylene glycol have problems such as poor water resistance. When exposed to water during use, the strength reduction is very significant, and there is no practical use value.
[0004] Patent document CN108864394A discloses gloves for medical use manufactured by compounding sulfonate polyester and polypropylene glycol, and states that they have excellent alcohol resistance. However, in reality, none of the systems using polypropylene glycol have achieved good alcohol resistance, and the overall strength of the gloves is low, making them unsuitable for many applications.
[0005] In patent document CN106188477B, a highly elastic polyurethane aqueous dispersion is synthesized using a polyether and a high molecular weight rebound elastic agent and used in the manufacture of gloves. However, the highly crosslinked structure in this polyurethane dispersion is unfavorable for elasticity, and the document only evaluates the mechanical properties of the resin and does not say anything about the manufacture or performance of the gloves.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0021] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the invention will be further described below with reference to examples. It should be understood that the following examples are merely for the purpose of better understanding the present invention and do not imply that the invention is limited to these examples alone.
[0022] Unless otherwise specified, all technical or scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The terms “and / or” as used herein include any combination and all combinations of one or more related items listed.
[0023] Where specific experimental procedures or conditions are not specified in the examples, they should be carried out according to the operations or conditions of the corresponding standard experimental procedures in the art. Unless the manufacturer of the reagents or equipment used is specified, they are all standard products available on the market.
[0024] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion comprising a unit derived from component a, wherein component a comprises at least one polyol with a functional value of 2 or higher, and component a comprises at least 40 wt% of a semicrystalline polyester polyol obtained by reacting a dihydric alcohol with component I, of which component I comprises an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and component II in a molar ratio of 2.1 to 10:1 (for example, molar ratios of 2.1:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 4.5:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, etc.), and component II is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and / or an aromatic dihydrohydride.
[0025] The present inventors have found that when preparing a polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion, the polyol used (component a) comprises at least 40 wt% (e.g., 40 wt%, 42 wt%, 45 wt%, 50 wt%, 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt%, 80 wt%, 90 wt%, 100%, etc.) of a semicrystalline polyester polyol, and that the semicrystalline polyester polyol is obtained by esterifying an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and component II (aromatic dicarboxylic acid and / or aromatic dicarboxylic acid anhydride) with a dihydric alcohol in a molar ratio of 2.1 to 10:1, and that the dispersion is prepared according to the embodiment of the present invention. Polyurethane-polyurea dispersions can reduce the crystallinity of polyester, improve elasticity, and acquire good properties such as strength. When this polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion is used in the manufacture of soft elastic products, the resulting polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion is particularly applicable to the manufacture of soft elastic products, such as gloves and / or condoms. It has been found that when this polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion is used in the manufacture of soft elastic products, the resulting soft elastic products have significantly improved overall performance, possessing good tensile strength, elongation, and rebound elasticity, resulting in a soft material with good elasticity and an improved wearing comfort. On the other hand, when semicrystalline polyester polyol is not used, or when the proportion of semicrystalline polyester polyol in the polyol (component a) is lower than 40 wt%, or when the semicrystalline polyester polyol is obtained from an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and component II (aromatic dicarboxylic acid and / or aromatic dihydrohydride) that do not satisfy a molar ratio of 2.1 to 10:1, the resulting soft elastic products show a clear deterioration in performance and cannot possess good overall performance.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the proportion of the semicrystalline polyester polyol obtained by reacting the dihydric alcohol with component I in component a reaches 70-100 wt%, which is advantageous for obtaining a soft elastic product with better performance.
[0027] In some preferred embodiments, the dihydric alcohol used in the preparation of the semicrystalline polyester polyol comprises at least one or more of 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol, and may further comprise other dihydric alcohols having a relative molecular weight less than 150, the other dihydric alcohols comprising one or more of ethylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, etc., wherein the proportion of the other dihydric alcohols in the preparation of the semicrystalline polyester polyol is less than 50 wt%, i.e., the amount used is less than that of 1,4-butanediol and / or 1,6-hexanediol. When preparing the semicrystalline polyester polyol, those skilled in the art can easily determine the amount of dihydric alcohol used in the reaction system from the target molecular weight. When preparing semicrystalline polyester polyols, the dihydric alcohol used is preferably 1,4-butanediol and / or 1,6-hexanediol, or preferably 50 wt% (based on the total amount of dihydric alcohol) or more of 1,4-butanediol and / or 1,6-hexanediol, which can improve the performance of the resulting soft elastic product.
[0028] In some preferred embodiments, component II used in the preparation of the semicrystalline polyester polyol is one or more selected from phthalic acid and phthalic anhydride, preferably the phthalic acid is selected from isophthalic acid and / or orthophthalic acid, and more preferably component II is isophthalic acid. The use of isophthalic acid is preferable and advantageous for obtaining a soft elastic product with better performance.
[0029] In some preferred embodiments, the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid used in the preparation of the semicrystalline polyester polyol is adipic acid.
[0030] In some more preferred embodiments, the dihydric alcohol used in the preparation of the semicrystalline polyester polyol comprises at least one or more of 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol, and the component II used is one or more selected from isophthalic acid, orthophthalic acid, and phthalic anhydride, with isophthalic acid being preferred, and the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid used is adipic acid, with a molar ratio of adipic acid to component II being 2.1 to 10:1. The polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion prepared with the preferred semicrystalline polyester polyol can obtain better product performance, and the resulting product has significantly improved tensile strength, elongation, rebound elasticity, wearability, and water resistance. The semicrystalline polyester polyol obtained in this preferred manner is an opaque, waxy solid at room temperature, and the semicrystalline polyester polyol has a certain regularity, where room temperature refers to 25°C.
[0031] In the polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersion of the present invention, the semicrystalline polyester polyol used may be prepared by conventional polyester polyol preparation processes in the art, or a commercially available product that satisfies the above requirements may be directly adopted. Specifically, the semicrystalline polyester polyol can be prepared by a melt polycondensation method well known to those skilled in the art, which can be done by directly referring to existing processes, and exemplary, for example, by referring to the method for preparing polyester polyols in Patent CN110724249B, specifically by referring to the examples in said document. For example, the necessary amounts of aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, component II (aromatic dicarboxylic acid and / or aromatic dicarboxylic acid anhydride), and dihydric alcohol for the preparation of semicrystalline polyester polyol are placed in a reaction vessel, the system is heated to 130-180°C and reacted until the system becomes transparent, the system is heated to 200-230°C and reacted until the amount of water effluent approaches the theoretical amount (e.g., reacted for about 2-3 hours), then the catalyst is added, the system is heated to 235-250°C and the vacuum device is turned on (e.g., at a vacuum pressure of -0.095 MPa), the reaction is continued until the acid value of the system reaches 0.3 mg KOH / g or less, then the system is cooled (e.g., cooled to about 120°C), withdrawn, and packaged to obtain the desired semicrystalline polyester polyol. During the reaction process, a catalyst may be added to the reaction vessel as needed. For example, the catalyst may be one or more selected from organotin, organobismuth, organotitanium compounds (e.g., tetrabutyl titanate, tetraisopropyl titanate, etc.), and the amount of catalyst used may be 50 to 300 ppm of the total mass of the reactants. During the preparation process, the ratio of dibasic acid to dihydric alcohol can be determined from the molecular weight of the target polyester polyol, and typically, the amount of dihydric alcohol used may be 105 to 120% of the theoretical charge.
[0032] In some embodiments, component a may include other polyols different from the semicrystalline polyester polyol. In some embodiments, in component a, the number average molecular weight of the polyols (i.e., semicrystalline polyester polyols and selective other polyols) is 500 to 15000 g / mol, and the polyols are preferably polyols with a number average molecular weight of 800 to 10000 g / mol and a functional value of 2 to 4, and more preferably polyols with a number average molecular weight of 1000 to 5000 g / mol and a functional value of 2 to 3.
[0033] Here, the other polyol in component a may be one or more selected from polyester polyols, polycaprolactone polyols, polycarbonate polyols, and polyether polyols, and the proportion of the other polyol in component a is 0 to 60 wt%. There are no particular restrictions on the specific selection of the above other polyols, and polyols that can be normally added to polyurethane-polyurea aqueous dispersions can be used.
[0034] Specifically, among the other polyols mentioned above, polyester polyols can be obtained, for example, by reacting a polyol with a carboxylic acid and / or acid anhydride through a known preparation process, for example, by dehydration condensation of a polyol with an aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic dicarboxylic acid or polycarboxylic acid or the corresponding acid anhydride.
