The preparation method of high-ethylene ethylene vinylacetate latex
The invention belongs to the polymer latex class, is the preparation method as the vinyl acetate-ethylene latex (VAE latex) of polymer mortar glue etc. specifically.
Polymer latex does not contain organic volatile matter, environment is not produced pollution, its application is increasingly extensive, construction industry especially, and coating for internal and external wall develops to water-based paint, polymer mortar latex is being played a great role aspect the building energy conservation body of wall, polymer mortar latex mainly uses VAE latex, and this latex has the ethene chain link on main chain, plays self-plasticizing action, reduce minimum film-forming temperature, improve low-temperature performance.Ethylene content is high more, and minimum film-forming temperature is low more, and low-temperature performance is good more.VAE latex can also be made fibre finish, cigarette glue stick, paper-plastic composite adhesive except that above purposes.
VAE latex all has production both at home and abroad, its synthetic method adopts general emulsion polymerisation process, depend primarily on the pressure of ethene in the polymeric kettle because of ethylene content, existing product ethylene content is a synthetic under the pressure of the 4MPa left and right sides about 15%, high again ethylene content, polymeric kettle pressure is very high, general reactor just can not be used, newer patent (U.S.5,629,370) claim the VAE latex that can synthesize the 5-40% ethylene content, but in the example, polymerization pressure 4.5MPa, ethylene content is the highest also to have only 21%, synthetic VAE latex under 20MPa pressure, ethylene content can reach (U.S.3,534,009) more than 50%, this autoclave is just very expensive, industrial very difficult realization promptly enables to make and, and the latex price is also very high.Another method (U.S.3,347,811) be molten in organic solvent (as toluene) the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin (EVA) of ethylene content more than 50%, under high-speed stirring, join in the water that contains emulsifying agent, form emulsion, steam and desolventize, this method has been avoided the difficulty of the equipment aspect that high pressure brings, have toxic solvent and lot of energy but consume, improved the latex cost.Also having a method is that ethylene content 50% above solid EVA resin is directly joined under high temperature, high pressure, high-speed stirring in the water that contains emulsifying agent, prepares latex (U.S.4,151,133), runs into the difficulty of high-tension apparatus equally.Chinese patent: 99121796.9 proposed a kind of solid EVA resin dissolves method of (rather than being dissolved in the organic solvent) in vinyl acetate between to for plastic-acrylate monomer compound, under high-speed stirring, carry out letex polymerization, obtain a kind of latex with shell-core structure, nuclear is EVA, and its ethene has long sequential structure, is fit to do soil coagulant, the latex that this method obtains, because of the restriction of EVA solubleness in monomer mixture, total ethylene content is not high, about 10%.
When the novel preparation method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of high-ethylene ethylene vinylacetate latex, this method are 4MPa at the polymeric kettle ethylene pressure, the VAE latex of synthesizing ethylene content about 24%; When ethylene pressure 2.5MPa, the VAE latex of synthesizing ethylene content 15% reaches the effect of conventional polymerization processes under ethylene pressure 4MPa.This latex has shell-core structure, examines to be the high ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of ethylene content, has the long sequential structure of ethylene-vinyl, and shell is the low vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer of ethylene content.In this latex, ethylene content reaches 24%.
Realize that the method that above-mentioned purpose adopted is molten in Vinyl Acetate Monomer the solid EVA resin of ethylene content 60%, under high-speed stirring, join in the water that contains emulsifying agent, deflocculant, buffer reagent, 70-80 ℃ of following high-speed stirring emulsification, transfer in the autoclave then, feed vinyl monomer to 2.5-4.0MPa pressure, add the part initiator solution, under stirring, 70 ± 5 ℃ of usual dispatchs carry out letex polymerization, and constantly add initiator solution, obtain the VAE latex of high ethylene content.
Ethene-vinyl acetate (EVA) the resin ethylene content that the present invention uses is 60%, to guarantee a certain amount of ethene chain link being arranged and good solubility in vinyl acetate between to for plastic.The emulsifying agent that uses is the mixture of non-ionic type and anionic, and nonionic emulsifier is selected polyoxyethylene thiazolinyl ethers, polyoxyethylene polylol carboxylic acid esters, polyol carboxylate's class for use, preferentially selects polyoxyethylene thiazolinyl ethers for use.The anionic emulsifier that uses has alkylsurfuric acid salt, alkyl sodium sulfonate etc., preferentially selects sodium lauryl sulphate for use.Colloid protective agent is selected polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for use; Deflocculant is selected trisodium phosphate for use.Radical initiator can be with Potassium Persulphate or ammonium persulphate.
Basic recipe of the present invention is:
Component percentage consumption, %

The deionized water surplus
Technological process of the present invention: at first solid EVA resin particle under agitation is dissolved in a certain amount of Vinyl Acetate Monomer in 60 ℃, makes the EVA-monomer solution.Add deionized water, PVA in the high-speed stirring reactor, be heated to 90 ℃ of dissolvings under stirring, temperature is reduced to 70 ℃, adds emulsifying agent and deflocculant, stirring and dissolving.Then the EVA-monomer solution of heat is added drop-wise in the reaction under high-speed stirring, stirring velocity 5000-8000 rev/min, temperature remains on 70 ± 5 ℃, add half an hour, transfer in the autoclave then and stir, stirring velocity 100-300 rev/min, feed vinyl monomer, reach 2.5-4.0MPa pressure, when temperature is raised to 60 ℃, add the part initiator solution, carry out letex polymerization, continue to be warmed up to 75 ± 2 ℃, constantly add remaining initiator solution then, added in about 4 hours, and 78 ± 2 ℃ of reactions 1 hour, obtained required latex again.
The present invention avoids using the more equipment of high pressure, adopts solid EVA resin dissolves in Vinyl Acetate Monomer, and letex polymerization is carried out in high-speed stirring emulsification then under common stirring, obtain the VAE latex of the unavailable high ethylene content of ordinary emulsion polymerization.The ethene chain link of this latex has long sequential structure, has better low-temperature performance.
