The method enables flexible and efficient reduction of VOCs in polyurethane foam, allowing for any desired degree of reduction, improving the process efficiency and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional methods.
Abstract
Description
Method for reducing volatile organic compounds, method for producing polyurethane foam, and resin premix The present invention relates to a method for reducing volatile organic compounds, a method for producing polyurethane foam, and a resin premix. Polyurethane foam is obtained by reacting a resin premix containing a polyol, a catalyst, and a blowing agent with a polyisocyanate. Polyurethane foam is used in a wide range of fields, such as cushions. On the other hand, polyurethane foam may contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. When these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released into the atmosphere, they may affect the global environment and the human body. Therefore, it is required to reduce the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from polyurethane foam. More specifically, for example, when molding a polyurethane molded article from a polyisocyanate and a polyol mixture containing a polyol, a catalyst, and a crosslinking agent, a hydrazine compound (for example, adipic acid dihydrazide) as an aldehyde scavenger is added to the polyol mixture in advance. This has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-182825 On the other hand, since the required reduction amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various fields vary depending on the purpose and application, it is desired to efficiently meet the required level of reduction amount. However, although the hydrazine compound as described in Patent Document 1 can reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the reduction amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is constant regardless of the amount of the hydrazine compound used and has a limit. Furthermore, there is also a problem that the degree of reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cannot be adjusted. The present invention provides a method for reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can adjust the degree of reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and can efficiently reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Further, the present invention provides a method for producing polyurethane foam and a resin premix in which volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are reduced. The present invention [1] is a method for reducing volatile organic compounds in a polyurethane foam, which includes a method for reducing volatile organic compounds by incorporating a compound represented by the following formula (1) into the polyurethane foam. (In the formula, -N=R represents the following partial structural formula (A) or the following partial structural formula (B), and X - represents an anion.) (In the formula, R 1 are the same as or different from each other and represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 1 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure.) (In the formula, R 2 are the same as or different from each other and represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. However, R 2 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure. Also, n represents an integer of 0 to 3. However, n corresponding to at least one of the four Rs in formula (1) is not 0.) The present invention [2] includes the method for reducing volatile organic compounds according to the above [1], in which the volatile organic compounds are linearly reduced according to the content of the compound represented by the above formula (1). The present invention [3] includes the method for reducing volatile organic compounds according to the above [1] or [2], in which the polyurethane foam is a reaction product of a resin premix containing a polyol and a polyisocyanate, and the content ratio of the cationic part of the compound represented by the above formula (1) is 500 ppm or more based on the total amount of the polyol. The present invention [4] includes the method for reducing volatile organic compounds according to any one of the above [1] to [3], which comprises a preparation step of preparing a resin premix containing a polyol and a polyisocyanate, an addition step of adding the compound represented by the above formula (1) to the resin premix, and a foaming step of mixing and foaming the resin premix and the polyisocyanate. The present invention [5] relates to a method for producing a polyurethane foam with reduced volatile organic compounds, comprising a preparation step of preparing a resin premix containing a polyol and a polyisocyanate, an addition step of adding a compound represented by the following formula (1) to the resin premix, and a foaming step of mixing and foaming the resin premix and the polyisocyanate. (In the formula, -N=R represents the following partial structural formula (A) or the following partial structural formula (B), and X - represents an anion.) (In the formula, R 1 represents, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 1 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure.) (In the formula, R 2 represents, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. However, R 2 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure. Also, n represents an integer of 0 to 3. However, n corresponding to at least one of the four Rs in formula (1) is not 0.) The present invention [6] relates to a resin premix used in the method for producing a polyurethane foam described in [5] above, and contains a polyol and a compound represented by the following formula (1). (In the formula, -N=R represents the following partial structural formula (A) or the following partial structural formula (B), and X - represents an anion.) (In the formula, R 1 represents, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 1 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure.) (In the formula, R2 are the same as or different from each other and represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. However, R 2 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure. Further, n represents an integer of 0 to 3. However, n corresponding to at least one of the four Rs in formula (1) is not 0.) In the method for reducing a volatile organic compound (VOC) of the present invention, since the compound represented by the above formula (1) is contained in the polyurethane foam, the volatile organic compound (VOC) can be efficiently reduced, and depending on the content of the compound represented by the above formula (1), the degree of reduction of the volatile organic compound (VOC) can be arbitrarily adjusted. Further, according to the method for producing a polyurethane foam and the resin premix of the present invention, a polyurethane foam in which the volatile organic compound (VOC) is reduced to an arbitrary degree can be produced.

FIG. 4 is a correlation diagram showing the relationship between the amount of VDH (hydrazide-based antioxidant) used and the reduction amounts of acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde. The polyurethane foam (for example, a flexible polyurethane foam) contains a volatile organic compound (VOC). In other words, the polyurethane foam is a VOC-containing foam (foam composition) containing the polyurethane foam and the volatile organic compound.

These VOC reducing agents can be used alone or in combination of two or more. As the VOC reducing agent, preferably, the compound represented by the above formula (3) is mentioned, and more preferably, tetrakis[tris(dimethylamino)phosphoranilideneamino]phosphonium dodecylbenzenesulfonyl (in the above formula (3), R 2 is a methyl group, and X - is a compound which is a linear dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion). According to such a VOC reducing agent, a volatile organic compound (VOC) can be efficiently reduced, and a polyurethane foam with an arbitrarily adjusted degree of reduction can be obtained. To incorporate a VOC reducing agent into a polyurethane foam, during the production of the polyurethane foam, the raw material components (resin premix and / or polyisocyanate) are made to contain the VOC reducing agent and reacted. Preferably, the resin premix is made to contain the VOC reducing agent, and the resin premix and polyisocyanate (described later) are reacted. The method of incorporating a VOC reducing agent into the resin premix is not particularly limited. For example, during the production of a polyol (described later), the VOC reducing agent is used as an addition polymerization catalyst, and a resin premix containing the VOC reducing agent can be prepared using the obtained polyol (including the VOC reducing agent). Also, after preparing a polyol without using the VOC reducing agent and then adding the VOC reducing agent to the polyol, a resin premix containing the VOC reducing agent can be prepared. Further, during the production of a polyol (described later), the VOC reducing agent is used as an addition polymerization catalyst, and the obtained polyol (including the VOC reducing agent) can also be added with the VOC reducing agent. More specifically, in this method, first, a resin premix containing a polyol and a polyisocyanate are prepared (preparation step). The resin premix contains, for example, a polyol, a urethanization catalyst, and a foaming agent. The polyol preferably contains a macro polyol.

When an alkali metal hydroxide is used as the addition polymerization catalyst as described above, a polyoxyalkylene polyol (and thus a resin premix) that does not contain a VOC reducing agent can be obtained. When a VOC reducing agent is used as the addition polymerization catalyst as described later, a polyoxyalkylene polyol (and thus a resin premix) that contains a VOC reducing agent can be obtained.

Preferred examples of the polyoxyalkylene polyol include, for example, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, propylene oxide-ethylene oxide copolymer (random and / or block copolymer), etc. When a propylene oxide-ethylene oxide copolymer is used as the polyoxyalkylene polyol, its ethylene oxide content is, for example, 5% by mass or more, preferably 10% by mass or more, and, for example, 50% by mass or less, preferably 30% by mass or less. The ethylene oxide content is calculated from the formulation of the charge (the same applies hereinafter). When a propylene oxide-ethylene oxide copolymer is used as the polyoxyalkylene polyol, its terminal oxyethylene group content is, for example, 5% by mass or more, preferably 10% by mass or more, and, for example, 50% by mass or less, preferably 30% by mass or less.

When the hydroxyl value of the polyoxyalkylene polyol is within the above range, the polyurethane foam obtained using the polyol containing the polyoxyalkylene polyol can maintain physical properties such as hardness. The hydroxyl value is measured in accordance with the description in JIS K-1557-1 (2007) (the same applies hereinafter). These polyoxyalkylene polyols can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Thereby, a resin premix containing a VOC reducing agent (VOC reducing agent-containing resin premix) can be obtained. Next, in this method, the resin premix and the polyisocyanate are mixed and foamed (foaming step). More specifically, polyisocyanate is added to the resin premix (containing a VOC reducing agent), stirred and reacted, and foamed by a known foaming method such as a slab method, a mold method, a spray method, etc. The blending ratio of the polyisocyanate to the resin premix is, for example, the isocyanate index (the ratio of the isocyanate group to 100 of the active hydrogens such as the hydroxyl group in the macro polyol in the resin premix, the hydroxyl group and amino group in the crosslinking agent, and water as the blowing agent (stoichiometric ratio)), for example, 70 or more, preferably 85 or more, and for example, 140 or less, preferably 120 or less. Thereby, a polyurethane foam can be produced. As described above, the resin premix is used to reduce the volatile organic compounds (VOC) of the polyurethane foam. And in such a method for reducing volatile organic compounds (VOC), since the VOC reducing agent is contained in the polyurethane foam, the volatile organic compounds (VOC) can be efficiently reduced, and the degree of reduction can be arbitrarily adjusted. That is, hydrazine compounds (such as hydrazide antioxidants like adipic acid dihydrazide), which are generally used to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but the amount of reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is constant regardless of the amount of hydrazine compound used and has a limit. Furthermore, there is also the problem that the degree of reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cannot be adjusted. In this regard, according to the above-mentioned VOC reducing agent (the compound represented by the above formula (1)), not only can volatile organic compounds (VOCs) be reduced, but the degree of reduction can be arbitrarily adjusted. Therefore, according to the required reduction amount, the addition amount of the VOC reducing agent can be adjusted, and the efficiency and cost reduction of reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be achieved. Also, according to the above-mentioned method for producing a polyurethane foam and the resin premix, a polyurethane foam with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) reduced to an arbitrary degree can be produced. In the above-mentioned addition step, the VOC reducing agent was added to the resin premix and / or the polyisocyanate before mixing the resin premix not containing the VOC reducing agent and the polyisocyanate not containing the VOC reducing agent. However, for example, the VOC reducing agent can also be separately added and mixed during their mixing, or after mixing them, the VOC reducing agent can be added to the mixture and further mixed. Furthermore, a plurality of these can also be combined. Also, without adding a VOC reducing agent, for example, by using the VOC reducing agent as a production catalyst (addition polymerization catalyst) for a polyol, the polyol can be pre-containing the VOC reducing agent. More specifically, for example, in the production of polyoxyalkylene polyol, the compound represented by the above formula (1) can be used as a reaction catalyst for the addition polymerization of alkylene oxide. When a compound represented by the above formula (1) is used as a reaction catalyst (addition polymerization catalyst) for the addition polymerization of alkylene oxide, preferably, a compound represented by the above formula (3) is used. More preferably, in the above formula (3), X - is a compound represented by a hydroxyanion or an alkoxy anion. Particularly preferably, in the above formula (3), X - is a compound represented by a hydroxyanion. In the presence of such an addition polymerization catalyst (compound represented by the above formula (1)), by subjecting an initiator such as a low molecular weight polyol or a low molecular weight polyamine to addition polymerization of alkylene oxide, a polyoxyalkylene polyol containing the compound represented by the above formula (1) can be obtained. When the obtained polyoxyalkylene polyol is used in the production of a polyurethane foam, the resulting polyurethane foam contains the compound represented by the above formula (1). At this time, the compound represented by the above formula (1) can act as a VOC reducing agent. That is, the compound represented by the above formula (1) in the polyoxyalkylene polyol can be also used as a VOC reducing agent. In such a case, the amount of the compound represented by the above formula (1) used is appropriately adjusted so that the content ratio of the VOC reducing agent with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyol in the resin premix is within the above range. Furthermore, for example, a polyoxyalkylene polyol containing the compound represented by the above formula (1) can also be used as a raw material for a polymer polyol, a polyurethane polyol, etc. Preferably, the above polyoxyalkylene polyol is used as a raw material for a polymer polyol. In such a case, the resulting polymer polyol contains the compound represented by the above formula (1). When the obtained polymer polyol is used in the production of a polyurethane foam, the resulting polyurethane foam contains the compound represented by the above formula (1). At this time, the compound represented by the above formula (1) can act as a VOC reducing agent. That is, even in such a case, the compound represented by the above formula (1) in the polyol can also be used as a VOC reducing agent. In such a case, the amount of the compound represented by the above formula (1) used is appropriately adjusted so that the content ratio of the VOC reducing agent to 100 parts by mass of the polyol in the resin premix is within the above range. Furthermore, as described above, by using the VOC reducing agent as a production catalyst (addition polymerization catalyst) for the polyol, even when the resin premix is preliminarily contained with the VOC reducing agent, the VOC reducing agent can be further added to the obtained resin premix. In such a case, before mixing the resin premix containing the VOC reducing agent and the polyisocyanate, the VOC reducing agent may be added to the resin premix and / or the polyisocyanate. For example, at the time of mixing them, the VOC reducing agent can be separately added and mixed. Furthermore, after mixing them, the VOC reducing agent can be added to the mixture and further mixed. Furthermore, a plurality of these combinations can also be made. In addition, the polyol obtained by using the VOC reducing agent as a production catalyst for the polyol and the polyol obtained by using an alkali metal hydroxide or the like without using the VOC reducing agent as a production catalyst for the polyol can be mixed and used at an appropriate ratio. In such a case, the resin premix containing the polyol contains the VOC reducing agent. Therefore, the resin premix can be used for the production of polyurethane foam without separately adding the VOC reducing agent, and if necessary, the VOC reducing agent can be further added and used for the production of polyurethane foam. Furthermore, as a production catalyst for the polyol, the polyol can be produced by using the VOC reducing agent and the alkali metal hydroxide in combination. In such a case, the resin premix containing the polyol contains the VOC reducing agent. Therefore, the resin premix can be used for the production of polyurethane foam without separately adding the VOC reducing agent, and if necessary, the VOC reducing agent can be further added and used for the production of polyurethane foam. Further, if necessary, after the production of the polyoxyalkylene polyol and before the production of the polyurethane foam, X of the compound represented by the above formula (1) - can be appropriately exchanged. More specifically, for example, as the reaction catalyst in the production of the above polyoxyalkylene polyol, when a compound represented by the above formula (1) in which X - is a hydroxyanion is used, the resulting polyoxyalkylene polyol contains a compound represented by the above formula (1) in which X - is a hydroxyanion. This polyoxyalkylene polyol can be used as it is for the production of the polyurethane foam. However, for example, to the polyoxyalkylene polyol, a compound that supplies other X - , for example, a sulfonic acid (for example, p-toluenesulfonic acid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, etc.) is added, and by mixing and stirring, X - can be exchanged for a sulfonyl anion. Thereby, the types of the addition polymerization catalyst in the production of the polyoxyalkylene polyol and the VOC reducing agent contained in the polyurethane foam can be changed. That is, in the addition polymerization of the alkylene oxide, a compound suitable for the addition polymerization of the alkylene oxide (for example, a compound represented by the above formula (1) in which X - is a hydroxyanion) is used, and then by changing X - , the polyurethane foam can contain a compound suitable as a VOC reducing agent (for example, a compound represented by the above formula (1) in which X - is a sulfonyl anion). Even by such a method, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be efficiently reduced, and the degree of reduction can be arbitrarily adjusted.

Synthesis Example 4 (Polymer polyol D containing a VOC reducing agent) An autoclave equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer, a pressure gauge, and a liquid feeding device was charged with polyol A until it was full, and while stirring, the temperature was raised to 120 °C. A mixed solution of polyol A, 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile), acrylonitrile, and styrene was continuously charged into the autoclave. The initial reaction solution obtained continuously from the discharge port was discarded, and the subsequent reaction solution was used in the next step. The reaction conditions were a reaction temperature of 120 °C and a reaction pressure of 440 kPa, and the residence time was 50 minutes. Under the condition of 655 Pa or less, a heat decompression treatment was performed for 3 hours to remove unreacted ethylenically unsaturated monomers and decomposition products of the polymerization initiator, and polymer polyol D (hereinafter referred to as polyol D) was obtained. The average functionality of this polyol D was 3, the hydroxyl value was 22 mg KOH / g, the content rate of the component derived from polyol A was 60% by mass, the content rate of the polymer component derived from acrylonitrile was 16% by mass, and the content rate of the polymer component derived from styrene was 24% by mass. These content rates were calculated from the charged amount and the amount of unreacted monomers quantified by gas chromatography. Further, the content ratio of PZN (cationic part) of the PZN compound derived from polyol A to polyol D was calculated to be 504 ppm. <Manufacture of Polyurethane Foam> (Example 1) 100 parts by mass of EP828 (polyoxyalkylene polyol), 0.35 parts by mass of 33LV (amine catalyst), 0.06 parts by mass of A-1 (amine catalyst), 2.7 parts by mass of water (foaming agent), 3.0 parts by mass of KL210 (crosslinking agent), 0.5 parts by mass of EP-505S (continuous agent), 1.0 parts by mass of L-3601 (foam stabilizer), and 672 ppm ( / 100 parts by mass of polyol) of tetrakis[tris(dimethylamino)phosphoranilideneamino]phosphonium dodecylbenzenesulfonyl (VOC reducing agent, PZN compound) were blended, and they were mixed to prepare a resin premix. Next, the obtained resin premix was temperature-controlled to 22 ± 1°C, and 32.1 parts by mass of TM20 (polyisocyanate) temperature-controlled to 22 ± 1°C (isocyanate index: 95) was added thereto. Immediately, it was vigorously stirred at 5000 rpm for 5 seconds using a homogenizer, and immediately injected into a mold with an inner dimension of 400 mm × 400 mm × 100 mm previously adjusted to 65°C. The lid was closed and foamed. Thereafter, the mold was kept at 65°C and the curing reaction was allowed to proceed for 6 minutes, and the polyurethane foam was taken out of the mold. Thereby, a flexible polyurethane foam was produced. (Examples 2 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5) According to the formulation described in Table 1, a polyurethane foam was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. In Examples 2 to 8, in the same manner as in Example 1, a PZN compound as a VOC reducing agent was added during the preparation of the resin premix. In Examples 9 to 12, no PZN compound was added during the preparation of the resin premix, and the PZN compound contained in Polyols A to D was used as a VOC reducing agent. Further, in Comparative Example 1, no VOC reducing agent was added. In Comparative Examples 2 to 4, adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) was added as a VOC reducing agent instead of the compound represented by the above formula (1). In Comparative Examples 5 to 7, Amicure VDH (manufactured by Ajinomoto Fine-Techno Co., Inc., VDH) was added as a VOC reducing agent instead of the compound represented by the above formula (1). In Table 1, the content of PZN (based on the cation moiety) is shown as the ratio (ppm) to 100 parts by mass of the polyol in the resin premix. <Measurement of Aldehyde in Polyurethane Foam> The aldehyde in the polyurethane foams produced in Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 was measured by the following measurement method, and the results for the amount of acetaldehyde and the amount of propionaldehyde were obtained. The results are shown in a table. <Measurement Method> (1) Density After foaming, the size and weight of the polyurethane foam after 24 hours were measured, and the density was calculated. (2) Measurement of acetaldehyde (AA) and propionaldehyde (PA) After the measurement of the density in (1) above, the polyurethane foam was cut into 80 mm × 100 mm to obtain samples. Also, the obtained samples were placed in a sealed container and stored for one week. Then, the samples were placed in a 10 L fluororesin bag and purged three times with pure nitrogen. Next, about 4 L of pure nitrogen was introduced, and the mixture was heated in a constant temperature room at 65°C for 2 hours. Next, 3.0 L was collected at a flow rate of 0.5 L / min. using a DNPH cartridge for aldehyde analysis, and then the remaining total gas was aspirated to calculate the total gas volume. Then, the derivative was eluted through acetonitrile in the DNPH cartridge for aldehyde analysis, and the volume was fixed to 5 mL and measured by HPLC. And from the calculation results, the amount of each aldehyde was converted per total gas volume (sample). Also, from the results of Examples 2 to 6, the relationship between the content ratio of the cationic part of the VOC reducer and the reduction amount of acetaldehyde is shown in FIG. 1, and further, the relationship between the usage amount of the content ratio of the cationic part of the VOC reducer and the reduction amount of propionaldehyde is shown in FIG. 2, respectively. (Discussion) From Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Example 1, it was confirmed that if PZN is contained in the polyurethane foam, acetaldehyde (AA) and propionaldehyde (PA) as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be reduced. Also, from FIGS. 1 and 2, it was confirmed that the volatile organic compound (VOC) is linearly reduced according to the content of PZN, and thus, the reduction amount of the volatile organic compound (VOC) can be adjusted and can be set to an arbitrary reduction amount. On the other hand, from FIGS. 3 and 4, it was confirmed that even when the hydrazide-based antioxidant can reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the amount of reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is constant regardless of the amount of the hydrazide-based antioxidant used and has a limit. The above invention has been provided as an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, but this is merely an example and should not be construed in a limiting manner. Modifications of the present invention that are apparent to those skilled in the art are included in the following claims. The method for reducing volatile organic compounds, the method for producing a polyurethane foam, and the resin premix of the present invention are widely used in various industrial fields where polyurethane foams are used.
