Description

A PBT composite material and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of polymer engineering plastics, and in particular relates to a PBT composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Flame-retardant PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) composites are widely used in the electronics and electrical industry due to their excellent mechanical, electrical, and heat resistance properties, as well as their relatively low cost. Relay and film capacitor casings, in particular, are mostly constructed from flame-retardant reinforced PBT composites. With the continuous advancement of materials technology, market products are trending towards miniaturization and thinner walls. However, this development is also hindered by numerous molding challenges. In recent years, the maturation of various new molding processes and mold flow analysis techniques has significantly promoted the application of thin-wall products, leading to an increasing number of customers demanding miniaturization and thinner walls (≤0.4mm).

[0003] In actual production, it was found that flame-retardant PBT composites do not produce black spots during the extrusion process, but rather during the injection molding process. Furthermore, when PBT composites without flame retardants are injection molded, no black spots are produced. Only PBT composites with flame retardants will develop black spots during the injection molding process. These spots are particularly prone to occur under extreme conditions (such as when thin-walled composites are required). Thinning the walls significantly increases the injection temperature and pressure of the material, posing a greater challenge to the heat resistance of flame-retardant PBT composites. Consequently, after prolonged injection molding of flame-retardant PBT composites under these conditions, noticeable carbonized black spots will form on the surface of light-colored parts. These spots are irregularly distributed, significantly impacting the product's appearance and quality. This makes selection time-consuming and labor-intensive for customers, and can easily lead to quality complaints from downstream customers. Therefore, research and improvement are urgently needed. Currently, the injection molding black spot problem is a pain point within the industry, with little research available domestically or internationally, and its specific mechanism of production remains unclear.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] A first aspect of the present application provides a PBT composite material, comprising the following components in parts by mass: 30-60 parts of PBT resin, 10-30 parts of flame retardant, and 0.2-1.2 parts of plasticizer;

[0026] The plasticizer is at least one of a phosphate plasticizer, a polyether plasticizer, or a polyether ester plasticizer;

[0027] The terminal carboxyl content of the PBT resin is ≤22 mol / t.

[0028] The present application provides a PBT composite material that selects a specific type of plasticizer and compounding an appropriate amount of the plasticizer by weight with a PBT resin within a specific end carboxyl content range and other components, thereby significantly reducing the adhesion of the material on the screw during the preparation of thin-walled products, thereby reducing the frequency of black spots on the product surface and obtaining a thin-walled product with low injection molding black spots; at the same time, the obtained composite material still has excellent flame retardant properties when prepared into thin-walled products (for example, thickness ≤0.4 mm), and has good tensile strength and impact strength.

[0029] Specifically, in order to solve the problem of black spots during the injection molding process of flame-retardant PBT composite materials, the inventors combined their R&D experience and data in the actual R&D process to infer that the generation of black spots may be due to the insufficient heat resistance of the material itself. When preparing thin walls, strong shear and high-temperature injection molding conditions are required, under which carbonization will occur. Based on the above inference, the inventors further used a variety of characterization methods (TG, constant temperature TG, melt index instrument heat retention, injection molding machine heat retention, high-temperature baking, etc.) to verify and found that it was not actually a problem of the heat resistance of the material, but most likely because the flame-retardant PBT material easily adheres to the inner wall of the screw / barrel and is not easily brought out by the material. After a long period of residence, carbonization occurs, and then black spots are generated. Therefore, based on the above observations and characterizations, the inventors creatively proposed the technical solution of the present application. Under the technical solution provided in this application, selecting a plasticizer in appropriate parts by mass and compounding it with a PBT resin within a specific end carboxyl content can effectively reduce the adhesion of the material to the inner wall of the screw / barrel, thereby reducing the frequency of black spots.

[0030] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the PBT resin to the plasticizer is PBT resin:plasticizer=(19-28):0.3.

[0031] The inventors have found that when the mass ratio of PBT resin and plasticizer is further selected within the above range, the adhesion of the material to the inner wall of the screw / barrel can be better reduced, thereby reducing the frequency of black spots in the product.

[0032] Exemplarily, the mass ratio of the PBT resin and the plasticizer can be any point value between (19-28):0.3 or a range value formed by any two points, such as 19:0.3, 20:0.3, 21:0.3, 22:0.3, 23:0.3, 24:0.3, 25:0.3, 26:0.3, 27:0.3, 28:0.3 or the like, or a range value between the point values; when the mass ratio of the PBT resin and the plasticizer is within the range of (19-28):0.3, excellent comprehensive effects can be achieved.

[0033] In some embodiments, the minimum mass percentage of PBT resin in the PBT composite is 28%.

After 4 minutes, squeeze out the sample and weigh it as m2. The mass of the residual material in the melt indexer is m3 = m1-m2, and the mass of the material hanging on the wall of the melt indexer is m5 = m3-the material in the die m4. Considering that the mass of the material in the die m4 is inconvenient Weighing, but after calculation, we believe that the maximum difference caused by the mass of the material in the die is about 0.0025g (die diameter 0.2cm, die height 0.8cm, melt density calculated as 1.3-1.4, the maximum difference caused by different material densities is: 0.1×0.1×3.14×0.8×(1-1.3 / 1.4)×=0.0025g). If the difference in m3 exceeds 0.0025g, it can basically be considered to be caused by the quality difference of the wall hanging material. Based on this, we can compare and evaluate the existing formula. According to the above method, measure 3 times each time and take the average value;

[0109] 5. Actual injection molding black spots: The actual injection molding black spot frequency of the material is verified during the actual injection molding process. That is, the parts with black spots are manually selected after the injection molding. The frequency calculation result = the number of black spot parts / the total number of parts. The result is in ppm.

[0110] The test results are shown in Table 3;

[0111] Table 3

[0112] As can be seen from Table 3, when the technical solution of the present application is adopted, the obtained product has an excellent comprehensive effect, which not only meets the flame retardant requirements of thin-walled products, but also has excellent mechanical properties, and the obtained product has less wall hanging material on the melt index instrument and less actual injection molding black spots; specifically, the obtained product has a flame retardant grade of V-0, a tensile strength of more than 123 MPa, and an impact strength of 10.4 kJ / m 2 Above, the mass of the wall material on the melt index instrument is less than 0.226g, and the actual injection molding black spot is less than 36ppm;

[0113] It can be seen from Examples 1-8 that the mass fraction of the components added to the PBT composite material will affect the performance of the product, and the mass fraction ratio of the PBT resin to the plasticizer will also affect the performance of the product. When the mass fraction ratio of the PBT resin to the plasticizer is further preferably (19-28):0.3, the comprehensive performance of the obtained product is better, and the flame retardant grade of the obtained product is V-0, the tensile strength is above 130 MPa, and the impact strength is above 11.2 kJ / m2 Above, the mass of the wall material on the melt index instrument is less than 0.215g, and the actual injection molding black spot is less than 20ppm;

[0114] It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that when the plasticizer of the present application is not added, the mass of the melt indexer wall material of the obtained product reaches 0.236 g, and the actual injection molding black spot reaches 92 ppm. Compared with Example 1, the mass of the melt indexer wall material increased by 12.92%, and the actual injection molding black spot frequency increased by 4.1%; It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 that when the mass fraction of the plasticizer is not within the range given in this application, the comprehensive performance of the obtained product is significantly reduced. Compared with Example 1, the mass of the melt indexer wall material of the product in Comparative Example 2 increased by 13.88%, and the actual injection molding black spot frequency increased by 3.9 times;

[0115] It can be seen from Example 1, Examples 9-10 and Comparative Example 3 that the terminal carboxyl content of the PBT resin will also significantly affect the comprehensive performance of the product. When the terminal carboxyl content of the PBT resin is further selected to be 7-19 mol / t, the comprehensive performance of the obtained product is better, and the flame retardant grade of the obtained product is V-0, the tensile strength is above 132 MPa, and the impact strength is above 10.8 kJ / m 2 As shown above, the mass of the melt indexer wall material is less than 0.215g, and the actual injection molding black spot is less than 21ppm; when the terminal carboxyl group content of the PBT resin selected in Comparative Example 3 is not within the range given in this application, compared with Example 1, the mass of the melt indexer wall material of the product increases by 13.88%, and the actual injection molding black spot frequency increases by 4.4 times;

[0116] It can be seen from Examples 1 and 11 that the system provided by this application has excellent effects on both halogenated flame retardants and halogen-free flame retardants;

[0117] It can be seen from Example 1, Examples 12-18 and Comparative Examples 4-5 that the type of plasticizer significantly affects the overall effect of the product of the present application. When the type of plasticizer selected is not the phosphate plasticizer, polyether plasticizer or polyether ester plasticizer described in the present application, the overall performance of the obtained product is significantly reduced. Compared with Example 1, the melt index instrument wall hanging material quality of the products obtained in Comparative Examples 4-5 increased by 12.44-14.83%, and the actual injection molding black spot frequency increased by 3.8-4.8 times;

[0118] It can be seen from Example 1 and Examples 19-20 that the diameter of the alkali-free glass fiber will also have a more obvious impact on the performance of the product. When the diameter of the alkali-free glass fiber is further selected to be 7-10 μm, the actual injection molding black spot frequency of the obtained product is lower, below 20 ppm.

[0119] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
