  • Principle of redispersible emulsion powder
    Jul 12, 2021
    Modification of inorganic cementitious materials such as cement with polymer emulsion has been widely used. Since the water in the emulsion will immediately react with the cement after mixing the two and finally solidify, a two-component form is used in most cases. , measure and mix each component in proportion at the construction site. This brings inconvenience to the storage, transportation and construction of materials. The emergence of re-dispersible emulsion powder has changed the above phenomenon. Redispersible latex powder is a micron-sized thermoplastic resin powder obtained by spray-drying a polymer emulsion to remove water. It can be reduced to an emulsion after adding water.Due to this characteristic, it is widely used in single-component JS waterproof coatings, polystyrene board bonding mortars for building insulation, flexible surface protection mortars, polystyrene particle insulation coatings, ceramic tile adhesives, self-leveling mortars, dry-mix mortars, etc. It is widely used in fields that require modification of inorganic cementitious materials.   RDP is a polymer powder produced by spray drying of polymer emulsion. Polymer emulsions are mostly oil-in-water systems in which thermoplastic polymers with a solid content of about 50% are evenly distributed in water with fine particles (0.1-10 μm). After losing water, the polymer particles first form dense spheres and accumulate on the surface. Under the action of energy, discrete polymer particles form a continuous polymer body. To produce redispersible latex powder by the spray drying method, a layer of PVA protective film is added to the surface of the polymer in advance. Due to the existence of the protective film, the dry powders cannot merge. In order to prevent the rubber powder from agglomerating, some fine mineral powders are also added. , such as clay, etc. However, when redispersible latex powder is mixed with alkaline substances such as cement and water, the PVA will be saponified and adsorbed by the quartz in the sand and removed. The rubber powder that has lost its protective film can eventually form a continuous water-insoluble polymer. membrane.   The particle size of the rubber powder (5-250 μm) is much larger than the particle size of the polymer dispersed phase in the emulsion (0.1-10 μm), indicating that the latex particles will agglomerate during the spray drying process. In order to reduce the tendency of polymer powder to agglomerate during long-term storage, inert fluid materials such as clay, talc, silica and other fine particles are usually added to the dry powder as anti-stick fillers. The filler is determined according to the type of polymer and its glass transition temperature. The dosage is generally 8%-30% of the dry polymer powder, which is the main source of ash in redispersible latex powder. After redispersible latex powder is redispersed, the diameter of the latex particles becomes about (0.1-10μm).   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

  • Properties and applications of medium and low polymerization degree PVA
    Jun 16, 2021
    Low degree of polymerization PVA has good water solubility and plasticity due to its lower degree of polymerization and shorter molecular chain. These properties make low-polymerization PVA widely used in many fields. The degree of polymerization of PVA is generally below 1000.   1. Water-soluble adhesive: Low-polymerized PVA is often used as a water-soluble adhesive because of its excellent water solubility.

  • Degree of polymerization and alcoholysis of polyvinyl alcohol
    Jun 09, 2021
    Polyvinyl alcohol is obtained through the alcoholysis of polyvinyl acetate. Its degree of alcoholysis refers to the percentage of the number of vinyl alcohol units in the molecular chain to the total number of molecular structural units. The degree of polymerization of polyvinyl alcohol refers to the number of repeating units in the molecular chain, which directly affects the length and physical properties of the molecule. The different degrees of polymerization determine the different application fields and properties of polyvinyl alcohol. For example, polyvinyl alcohol with an ultra-high degree of polymerization is often used in applications requiring greater strength and durability, while polyvinyl alcohol with a lower degree of polymerization may be more suitable for applications requiring better solubility or flexibility.   For example: According to the chemical formula of polyvinyl alcohol (-C2H2O-)n, PVA 2488, -88 means that the degree of alcoholysis is 88mol%, and 24- means that its degree of polymerization is about 2400, so the ideal molecular formula of PVA2488 should be (-C2H2O-) 2400. The adjustment is approximately 2400*44=105600. Therefore, one is to measure the size of the formed skeleton, and the other is to measure the conversion rate into the desired product. Those two are different.     Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is the hydrolyzate of polyvinyl acetate. The solvent of PVA is water, but its solubility in water is largely affected by the degree of polymerization and is dominated by the degree of alcoholysis. Completely alcoholylated PVA has very little dissolution in water. When the alcoholysis degree is below 88%, it is almost completely dissolved at room temperature of 20°C. However, as the alcoholysis degree increases, the solubility decreases significantly. Solubility PVA is soluble in water. The higher the water temperature, the greater the solubility, but it is almost insoluble in organic solvents.   PVA solubility changes with the degree of alcoholysis and polymerization. .Partial alcoholysis and low polymerization degree PVA dissolve very quickly, while complete alcoholysis and high polymerization degree PVA dissolve slowly. As a general rule, the degree of alcoholysis has a greater impact on the solubility of PVA than the degree of polymerization.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

  • Factors affecting the viscosity of VAE emulsion
    Jun 03, 2021
    VAE (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) emulsion viscosity is an important quality indicator and has a significant impact on product mass transfer, heat transfer, fluid flow, emulsion stability and emulsion transportation. Monomer ratio, polymerization temperature, initiator, emulsifier system optimization, electrolyte additives, and storage conditions are all factors that affect the viscosity of VAE emulsion.   1. Monomer ratio The selection and proportion of monomers directly affect the viscosity and other properties of VAE emulsion. The ratio of ethylene to vinyl acetate (VAc) is particularly critical. Generally speaking, VAE emulsions with a VAc content of 70% to 95% have higher viscosity. Increased VAc content will increase the flexibility and elasticity of the emulsion, and will also increase the viscosity of the emulsion.   2.Polymerization temperature control Polymerization temperature is another important factor affecting the viscosity of VAE emulsion. Changes in temperature will affect the rate of free radical generation and the rate of polymerization. Generally speaking, within a suitable temperature range, an increase in temperature will speed up the polymerization reaction, causing the latex particles in the emulsion to grow rapidly, resulting in an increase in viscosity. However, too high a temperature may cause the emulsion to gel, affecting its quality and stability.   3.Initiator The amount and type of initiator have a significant impact on the viscosity of VAE emulsions. Initiators mainly affect the rate of polymerization. When the amount of initiator is large, the polymerization reaction is fast, the number of generated latex particles increases, and the viscosity of the emulsion increases. However, excessive initiator may cause the reaction to be too fast and difficult to control, resulting in reduced emulsion performance. Different types of initiators generate different types of free radicals during the reaction and have different effects on the viscosity of the emulsion.   4. Emulsifier system optimization The selection and dosage of emulsifier are crucial to the stability and viscosity of VAE emulsion. The main function of emulsifier is to reduce the surface tension of emulsion and promote monomer dispersion and emulsion formation. Appropriate emulsifier concentration and anionic/nonionic emulsifier ratio can improve the stability of the emulsion and also affect the viscosity of the emulsion. The degree of polymerization and alcoholysis of protective colloids such as PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) also significantly affect the viscosity of the emulsion. The higher the degree of polymerization of PVA, the greater the viscosity of the emulsion; the higher the degree of alcoholysis, the lower the viscosity of the emulsion.   5.Electrolyte additives The addition of electrolyte additives can affect the viscosity and stability of VAE emulsions. Some electrolyte additives can compress the electric double layer of latex particles and reduce the electrostatic repulsion between latex particles, thereby increasing the viscosity of the emulsion. However, excessive amounts of electrolyte additives may cause aggregation in the emulsion, affecting its performance.   The factors that affect the viscosity of VAE emulsions include reaction time and rate, PH value, storage conditions and stability. In actual production and application, these factors need to be reasonably adjusted according to specific needs and conditions to obtain VAE emulsion products with excellent performance.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

  • Adhesives of VAE Emulsion mixed with additives
    May 10, 2021
    VAE emulsion is a water dispersion chemical that avoids the environmental impact of solvents and unsafe hazards. Ethylene gives polymers a softness that is permanent and impervious to the environment and climate. VAE dispersions can not only be used as excellent adhesives for paper, wood, plastics, synthetic fabrics, etc., but also can be easily mixed with thickeners, surfactants, PH regulators, plasticizers, solvents, fillers and other ingredients to make adhesives for various specific use.   1. Add thickener The water-soluble polymer thickener can increase the viscosity of the continuous phase between dispersed polymer particles, thereby increasing the viscosity of VAE emulsions. Sodium polyacrylate is an effective thickening agent for VAE emulsions. When the addition amount of thickener is less than 1%, it has little effect on the stripping strength. When 7% is added, the bond strength is significantly reduced. Carboxylic butylbenzene emulsion can significantly increase the viscosity of VAE emulsion, and improve the bonding strength of PVC, PP and other substrates. However, attention should be paid to controlling the amount of addition to prevent the viscosity from being too high.   2. Add surfactants The addition of alkyl polyoxyethylene ether and other surfactants to VAE emulsions can improve the wettability of surfaces that are difficult to wet (such as PVC films, etc.). The effective concentration is 0.1-1.0% parts surfactant per 100 parts emulsion.Adhesives manufactured with VAE emulsions generally do not require the addition of defoamer. In case of foam, add 0.1 ~ 0.2% defoamer.   3. Add PH regulator VAE emulsions are generally stable in the PH range of 3.0 to 8.5. If the PH of the mixture containing VAE emulsions is adjusted below 3.0, it results in an excessively high viscosity and is hydrolyzed more rapidly in the wet state, resulting in a lower PH. When the VAE emulsion is mixed with a dispersion solvent with a completely different PH (for example, PH 9.0), the PH of the VAE emulsion should first be adjusted above 7 with an alkaline substance. To minimize the effects caused by the difference in PH. Ammonia and sodium hydroxide are commonly used PH regulators for VAE emulsions.   4. Add plasticizer and solvent The addition of plasticizers can reduce the cost of formulations. The addition of plasticizers and solvents can also improve the performance of substrates that are difficult to bond. Four plasticizers, dibutyl phthalate, butyl phenyl phthalate, dipropylene glycol phthalate and dioctyl phthalate, were added at 15% concentration to thicken CW40-705.   5. Add stuffing In VAE dispersion-based adhesives, low-cost fillers such as clay and calcium carbonate can be added as fillers or fillers. The viscosity of emulsion can be increased by adding dry filler. First dispersed with water, then a large number of fillers can be added without making the workable viscosity too high. CW40-707 can accept more fillers than other varieties.   6. Wet strength additives The water resistance of VAE emulsions generally meets the requirements. Where improvement is needed, dialdehyde, water-soluble urine aldehyde resin (UF), melamine resin (MF) or phenolic resin can be added. Excellent water resistance can be achieved by heating curing.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.
