The fluorination treatment process on off-line polymer product surface
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of production technique of surfaces of polymeric articles fluoridation, specifically, relate to a kind of off-line type fluoridation surfaces of polymeric articles technology.
Background technology
Polymer product comprises the fuel tank made by polyethylene, polypropylene material, oil pipe, Plastic Bottle, polymeric film etc.After surfaces of polymeric articles carried out fluoridation, can form a large amount of carbon fluorine chemistry bond structures, and make crosslinking reaction takes place between the polymer chain on its surface.The process of this substitution reaction is irreversible, and the barrier layer of formation and whole polymeric matrix form indivisible integral body with covalent bonding.This barrier layer is similar to the tetrafluoroethylene structure, has good obstruct, chemical resistance.The anti-solvent penetrating quality of the polymer product after fluoridation can improve significantly.Because above-mentioned fluoridation occurs over just the surface as thin as a wafer of polymer product, about 50~500 dusts, thereby the mechanical property of polymer materials is unaffected.
At present, the method for fluoridation surfaces of polymeric articles mainly comprises online fluorination method and off-line fluorination method.Online fluorination method, its advantage are blow-moulding process is organically combined with fluoridation technology, thereby have improved production efficiency.But it only limits to the goods of blow molding, and complex structure, massive article are seemed powerless, so this flaorination process is mainly used in the production of fluoridizing bottle.Last century the eighties, the off-line type flaorination process is developed, back fluorination process just, the goods that are about to after the moulding carry out fluoridation again.This fluorination process to shape of products, size and forming method in advance without limits, and flaorination process is safer, operating procedure elasticity is bigger, can carry out the adjustment of technology at an easy rate according to technical requirement.
Off-line type flaorination process inventor is the union carbide corporation (Union Carbide Corporation) of the U.S., its relevant patent US4484954, US4142032 has related generally to some basic concrete fluorination treatment process parameters of off-line type fluoridation, has established the fundamental technology method of off-line type fluoridation.In U.S. Pat 3998180, what relate generally among the US4081574 is the equipment and the corresponding flaorination process technology of off-line type flaorination process, and its Technology mainly is to shift hydrofluoric process unit of by product and using method thereof about increased absorption in fluorination reaction process.U.S. Pat 457687 adopts in fluorination process, by pressurization, the operation of circulation technologies such as decompression, thereby the by product hydrogen fluoride that helps the fluoridation generation takes off suction from product surface as far as possible, and help deeply carrying out of fluoridation, with the fluorination effect of raising goods, but the operating procedure complexity is had relatively high expectations to device systems.In addition, there is report to adopt carbon dioxide to replace nitrogen to mix, utilizes the bigger heat enthalpy value of carbon dioxide, reach the purpose that improves fluorination effect with fluorine gas; Also have to adopt fluorine gas to be cooled to-160~0 ℃ earlier, carry out the method for fluoridation again, reach the purpose that improves the goods barrier property.Above fluoridation all is to adopt the disposable method that charges into fluorine gas.Because the high chemically reactive of fluorine gas, control fluoridation speed just becomes the key of technology.In the method that once charges into fluorine gas; the concentration of initial fluorine gas is higher relatively; regular meeting is owing to the violent heat effect of initial reaction causes fluoridizing the product surface local damage, thereby makes the fluorinated layer of product surface inhomogeneous, not fine and close, causes the barrier property of goods to descend.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is based on the basis of traditional off-line type single stage method flaorination process, provide a kind of fluoridation more even, more effective two-step approach flaorination process, this technology can improve the barrier property of fluoridizing goods, can reduce the total flow of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture simultaneously.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the fluorination treatment process on off-line polymer product of the present invention surface comprises the following steps:
(1) goods that will treat fluoridation are put into reactor, and behind air in the nitrogen replacement fluorination reactor, by the heat exchanger heating that circulates, reactor temperature is controlled at 20~60 ℃ to the ON cycle pump under normal pressure;
(2) vacuumize;
(3) charge into first part of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture, make that the fluorine gas concentration of volume percent is 0.5~10.0% in the reactor, reactor interpolymer goods circulating reaction 0.5~4.0 hour;
(4) elevated temperature to 30~90 ℃, charge into second part of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture again, its consumption is 20%~200% of first part of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture consumption volume, circulating reaction 0.5~5.0 hour, and the pressure of described fluorination treatment process process reactor is less than a normal atmosphere.
Step (2), (3) described first part of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture and second part of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture are with a kind of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture.
The optimization of reaction conditions is as follows in the described processing step:
Reactor temperature is controlled at 30~50 ℃ in the step (1).Vacuumize make reactor pressure reduce to-0.06~-0.04MPa, further be optimized for-0.05MPa.The concentration of volume percent of the interior fluorine gas of reactor is 2~5% in the step (3), and the amount of the delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture that charges among the present invention is calculated with the concentration of fluorine gas in the reactor; Reaction times is 1 hour.Reactor temperature is controlled at 40~80 ℃ in the step (4); The consumption of the second part of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture that charges into is 50%~150% of first part of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture consumption volume; Reaction times is 0.5 hour.
The invention has the advantages that, with the disposable delivery of fluorine/nitrogen (F that charges into
2/ N
2) gas mixture technology changes the mode that controlled two-step approach charges into into, i.e. fluoridation initial stage low temperature, low concentration of fluorine; Later stage charges into F once more by the rising reactor temperature
2/ N
2Gas mixture makes the surface of polymer material fluoridation be in gentleness all the time, stablizes, continues the state that carries out, thereby makes fluorinated layer compact structure, evenly, and the barrier property of resulting product can improve 2~5 times.This technology has overcome in the disposable flaorination process that charges into fluorine gas, and it is excessive to fluoridize the initial stage fluorination rates, and later stage speed is too low shortcoming obviously.Simultaneously, adopt the two-step approach flaorination process, also can further reduce the total consumption of delivery of fluorine/nitrogen gas mixture.
