Detailed Description Of The Invention
Hereinafter describe embodiment of the present invention in detail.
(hereinafter referred is bubble to low-density flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents in the embodiment of the present invention The foam material) as follows preparation. That is, by containing polyalcohol, PIC, foaming The urethane raw of agent and catalyst and proportion are that 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate is mixed Close, above-mentioned urethane raw is foamed and curing reaction. Because above-mentioned foaming and solid The heat of change generation falls by the latent heat of the water evaporation of the degraded formation of inorganic compound hydrate Low. When foaming and the temperature rise that solidifies arrive, for example 170 ℃ or when higher, induce the foam material The oxidative degradation of material, i.e. coking and form the painted of flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents. This phenomenon The evaporation of water heat (heat of vaporization) that forms by the degraded of removal inorganic compound hydrate obtains pressing down System. The foamed material of the present embodiment can be by foaming and curing under room temperature and atmospheric pressure Plate (slab stock) elastic foam material that produces, or pass through urethane raw (liquid The phase reaction mixture) notes that are charged to mould and under the clamping mould, its foaming and curing obtained Mould foamed material. Like this, owing to highly be aniseed (bulky block) foam about 1m Heat generally by finalizing the design at the continuous production of elastic plate strand foam material, often takes place in material Accumulation and flavescence, so yellow that the method for the present embodiment effectively causes as anti-coking Measure.
At first, above-mentioned urethane raw is described.
PPG or PEPA are as polyalcohol. Wherein, since PPG with The sound response of PIC, and it can be hydrolyzed unlike PEPA, thereby be excellent Choosing. Can use the compound of the PPG that formed by polymer and its modification as poly-Ethoxylated polyhydric alcohol, described polymer is by polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol or polyhydroxy-alcohol and epoxy third Alkane or ethyleneoxide addition polymerization form. Glycerine, DPG etc. can be used as polyhydroxy-alcohol.
By the trihydroxylic alcohol of glycerine and expoxy propane and other ethyleneoxide addition polymerization acquisition, logical Cross the dihydroxylic alcohols that DPG and expoxy propane and other ethyleneoxide addition polymerization form, waiting can To be particularly useful as the polyester ether polyalcohol. PEO unit in the PPG is about 10 To 30mol%. When the content of PEO unit is high, compare hydrophily when low with content Improve and improve with the ability of mixing of high polar molecule such as polyisocyanate compounds. As a result, The reactivity of polyalcohol strengthens. In polyalcohol, the degree of functionality of hydroxyl and the number of hydroxyl can Change by control material composition, molecular weight, condensation level etc.
By with polycarboxylic acid such as adipic acid or phthalic acid and polyalcohol such as ethylene glycol, diethyl two The PEPA of the condensation that alcohol, propane diols or glycerine reaction obtain reaches the polyester based on lactone Polyalcohol and can be used as PEPA based on the polyalcohol of Merlon.
With the PIC of above-mentioned polyol reaction be the chemical combination with a plurality of isocyanate groups Thing specifically can use toluene di-isocyanate(TDI) (TDI), 4, the 4-methyl diphenylene diisocyanate (MDI), 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate (NDI), triphenylmethane triisocyanate, benzene two methylenes Group diisocyanate (XDI), 1, hexamethylene-diisocyanate (HDI), dicyclohexyl methyl hydride two isocyanides The product of acid esters, isophorone vulcabond (IPDI), its modification etc. PIC Isocyanate index is 100 or still less maybe can surpasses 100 but usually about 90 to about 130 Scope in. Isocyanate index represents with percentage, is the NCO of PIC Group and equivalent proportion as the oh group of the polynary alcohol and water of blowing agent.
Blowing agent is used for foaming polyurethane resin and forms flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents. For example, Use pentane outside dewatering, pentamethylene, hexane, cyclohexane, carrene, carbon dioxide etc. Be in the situation of water when blowing agent, combined amount is preferably 7 with respect to the polyalcohol of 100 weight portions To 13 weight portions, to obtain density as 25kg/m3Or lower flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents. When the combined amount of water less than 7 weight portions, the little and flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents of the degree of foaming Density trends towards surpassing 25kg/m3 When the combined amount of water greater than 13 weight portions, foaming and solidifying The time temperature rise easily, and be difficult to temperature is reduced. By as above setting the combined amount of water, Usually can obtain density is 15 to 25kg/m3Flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents.
Catalyst is used for accelerating the reaction of polyalcohol and PIC formation urethanes, Specifically can use tertiary amine such as triethylenediamine, dimethylethanolamine or N, N ', N '-trimethyl ammonia The base ethyl] piperazine, organo-metallic compound such as tin octoate, acetate, alkali metal alcoholate etc. If need, urethane raw and foamed material stabilizing agent, crosslinking agent, filler, stabilizing agent, The fusion such as colouring agent, fire retardant, plasticizer. The foamed material stabilizing agent can use silicone compounds, Anion surfactant, such as neopelex or lauryl sodium sulfate, polyethers silicon Oxygen alkane, phenolic compound etc.
Above-mentioned proportion is that 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate is by generating the material of water after the thermal degradation.As proportion is 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate, can be terra alba (CaSO 4.2H 2O, dihydrate gypsum, proportion: 2.32, decomposition temperature: 128 to 163 ℃), ferrous sulfate-water to five hydrate (FeSO 4.H 2O is to FeSO 4.5H 2O, proportion: 2.97, decomposition temperature: 100 to 130 ℃) or its mixture, aluminum oxide-water is to trihydrate (Al 2O 3.H 2O is to Al 2O 3.3H 2O, proportion: 2.4 to 3.4, decomposition temperature: 150 to 360 ℃), cupric sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO 4.5H 2O, proportion: 2.29) ,-water is to magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO 4.H 2O is to MgSO 4.7H 2O, proportion: 2.57 to 1.68, decomposition temperature: 150 ℃, median size 50 μ m) etc.The combination water that contains in the inorganic compound hydrate as the solid crystal stable existence under the room temperature is a crystal water.Ferrous sulfate hydrate, calcium sulfate hydrate or magnesium sulfate hydrate are preferred inorganic compound hydrate.This is because these inorganic compound hydrate are 100 ℃ or when higher, along with urethane raw foaming and solidification value rising are decomposed to form water gradually in temperature.
The proportion of inorganic compound hydrate is necessary for 1.5 to 4.0, and preferably from 2.0 to 3.0.When proportion less than 1.5 the time, can only add the inorganic compound hydrate (powder) of predetermined weight, and the hydrate of large volume is when adding in urethane raw such as the polyvalent alcohol to, powder and polyvalent alcohol can not be by thorough mixing and stirrings.In addition, the destruction that the increase of inorganic compound hydrate volume causes the flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents physical properties in the flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents.On the other hand, when proportion surpasses 4.0, raw material at flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents, especially in the long-time storage process of polyvalent alcohol, inorganic compound hydrate trends towards precipitation, and the dispersed variation in liquid reaction mixture, thereby inorganic compound hydrate reduces the function reduction of exothermic temperature.Proportion is preferably from 100 to 170 ℃ of the decomposition temperatures of 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate.When decomposition temperature is lower than 100 ℃, in urethane raw foaming and solidified starting stage,, form water promptly in the stage of low exothermic temperature, therefore might have a negative impact to foaming and curing, the water of formation can be used as whipping agent.By way of parenthesis, under the situation of dihydrate gypsum, when being heated to 100 ℃ or when higher, 1.5mol is just arranged is free water by decomposition and inversion to every 2mol water in the molecule.
Proportion is that the combined amount of 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate is preferably 3 to 150 weight parts with respect to 100 weight part polyvalent alcohols, more preferably from 20 to 100 weight parts.When combined amount less than 3 weight parts, the water yield that is decomposed to form is very little so can not fully reduce foaming and the rising of the exothermic temperature that solidify to produce.On the other hand, when combined amount surpasses 150 weight parts, unnecessary water improves exothermic temperature as whipping agent thereby might quicken foamable reaction.
Inorganic compound hydrate is preferably mixed with the array configuration of multiple hydrate, for example calcium sulfate hydrate and magnesium sulfate hydrate.So then can foam and the solidified exothermic temperature thereby can effectively reduce, also can reduce the combined amount of inorganic compound hydrate in the function of the inorganic compound hydrate of temperature range performance widely.
Urethane raw foams and curing reaction, thereby generates flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents.At this moment the reaction below the complicated and main generation of reaction.Just, other polyreaction (urethanum form reaction) is arranged between polyvalent alcohol and polymeric polyisocyanate, polymeric polyisocyanate and as the foamable reaction between the water of whipping agent, and crosslinked (curings) between reaction product and the polymeric polyisocyanate reacts.
In this case, adopt a step Method Of Accomplishment (one-shot method) of direct reaction between any polyvalent alcohol and the polymeric polyisocyanate, or polyvalent alcohol and polymeric polyisocyanate react in advance and obtain terminal prepolymer with isocyanate groups itself and the prepolymer process of polyol reaction then, formation polyurethane foamed material.
So the flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents density that obtains is 25kg/m 3Or lower, be generally 15 to 25kg/m 3, be 5% or lower by the definite compressed residual strain of JIS K 6400-4:2004 (method A), be 5 or lower in foaming and solidified high-temperature part and low temperature part color distortion, and contain inorganic compound hydrate.Color distortion is the difference of high-temperature part and the yellowness index (Δ YI) of low temperature part when foaming and curing herein.
Therefore, flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents has low density, and promptly density is 25kg/m 3Or it is lower and have good damping performance and light weight.Generally speaking, flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents is that wherein cell (bubble) has the structure of connection and the foam materials of reset capability.For making low-density like this foam materials, must obtain 40 times or higher foaming ratio.In addition, the compression residual strain is little and cushioning ability is kept for a long time.In addition, because color distortion is little, no problem aspect color.And, preferably by the definite hardness of JIS K 6400-4:2004 (method D) from 110 to 150N, the tension force that JIS K 6400-4:2004 determines is from 100 to 150kPa, and the elongation of determining by JIS K 6400-4:2004 from 100 to 200%.If hardness surpasses 150N, then might become too hard and reduce cushioning ability by flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents.In flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents, from the mineral compound of inorganic compound hydrate keep but this inorganic compound hydrate proportion be above-mentioned 1.5 to 4.0 and volume little, so its influence to the physical properties of flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents is little.Flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents with such physical properties is suitable for forming furniture such as chair and sofa, the cushioning material of bedclothes such as bed, mattress, pillow, automotive seat etc.
Producing under the situation of flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents, proportion is 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate and for example contain polyether glycol, polymeric polyisocyanate, mix as the water of whipping agent and the urethane raw of amine catalyst.For example dihydrate gypsum or ferrous sulfate hydrate are as inorganic compound hydrate.The preparation method of flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents foams polyether glycol and polymeric polyisocyanate reaction and further curing reaction with polymeric polyisocyanate and water effect simultaneously.
In preparation process, when foaming and curing, inorganic compound hydrate is heated to 100 ℃ or higher, thereby makes the water evaporation that is converted into free water and formation as the water of combination water by decomposition.By evaporation of water remove vaporization heat and since foaming and the generation of solidified foam materials heat be lowered.Therefore, can reduce foaming and solidified exothermic temperature.Foaming of the present invention and solidified exothermic temperature can be suppressed at 170 ℃ or lower, and foam materials reaches 170 ℃ or higher sometimes in foaming and solidified temperature when not mixing inorganic compound hydrate.Therefore, owing to be exposed to the foam materials coking that 170 ℃ or higher temperature produce and avoid.
The advantage of above-mentioned embodiment hereinafter will be described.
In the process of flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents of preparation embodiment of the present invention, proportion is that 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate is mixed with urethane raw, and polyvalent alcohol and polymeric polyisocyanate react also and foam.Therefore, when foaming and curing, inorganic compound hydrate forms water by thermal degradation, removes vaporization heat by evaporation of water, thereby reduction foaming and solidified heat produce.
Therefore, foaming and solidified exothermic temperature can effectively reduce, and the decrease of temperature speed that once increased can be quickened.As a result, can reduce, thereby can reduce the painted of the flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents that obtains owing to produce the color distortion of high-temperature part and low temperature part inductive foam materials.
In addition, because inorganic compound hydrate proportion is above-mentioned 1.5 to 4.0, the volume of blended inorganic compound hydrate is little, thus change the physical properties of the flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents that obtains, little as the possibility of density.
And, preferably from 100 to 170 ℃ of the decomposition temperatures of inorganic compound hydrate.Therefore, temperature is elevated to 100 ℃ or higher when foaming and curing, and inorganic compound hydrate begins to be decomposed to form water, the water evaporation of formation.Therefore, can effectively reduce heat by the water vaporization heat produces.
In addition, inorganic compound hydrate is preferably ferrous sulfate hydrate, calcium sulfate hydrate or magnesium sulfate hydrate.These inorganic compound hydrate are 100 ℃ or improve with foaming and solidified temperature when higher and be decomposed to form water gradually that in temperature the water of formation evaporates.Therefore, can effectively reduce heat by evaporation of water produces.
Flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents density by above-mentioned acquisition is 15 to 25kg/m 3, the definite compressed residual strain of JIS K6400-4:2004 (method A) is 5% or still less, color distortion is 5 or still less, and to contain proportion be 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate.Therefore, its density is low and have little compressed residual strain, and shows as the good physical properties of flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents.In addition, produce, can reduce the oxidative degradation that is generally high-temperature part, thereby alleviate the color distortion between high-temperature part and the low-temp. portion branch by reducing the unnecessary heat of foaming and solidified.Therefore, even product is partly made from high-temperature internal part and low-temperature surface, also can prevent painted problem.In addition, coming proportion in the comfortable flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents is that the mineral compound of 1.5 to 4.0 inorganic compound hydrate is almost to the not influence of physical properties of flexible polyurethane foam using hydrated metal salt blowing agents.
Hereinafter will be by embodiment and the embodiment above comparative example's more detailed description, but the invention is not restricted to these embodiment.
