The invention relates to the technical field of polymers, in particular to a preparation method of highly transparent self-adhesive PBAT cling film.
At present, most of the cling films on the market are PE and PVC plastic cling films that are not biodegradable; the PVC cling film contains the plasticizer dioctyl adipate (DEHA). WWF lists it as a substance that may damage the human endocrine system. Some European countries, Japan, and South Korea have banned the use of PVC cling films, and China has also banned the use of PVC cling films. The PE cling film has poor flexibility, shrinkage property, and adhesion property, and PE and PVC cling films will cause white pollution after being discarded, which will seriously damage the ecological environment.
PBAT is a thermoplastic biodegradable plastic, a copolymer of butanediol adipate and butylene terephthalate. PBAT has good ductility, elongation at break, heat resistance, and impact properties, but poor air permeability, poor adhesion property, and difficulty in flatting during winding. These shortcomings limit its application in vegetables, fruits, and food cling films.
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of highly transparent self-adhesive PBAT cling film, which solves the above issues and improves the problem of white pollution caused by cling films.
In order to achieve the objectives above, the invention provides the following technical solutions: a preparation method of highly transparent self-adhesive PBAT cling film, comprising the following steps:
S1, adding PBAT, ACR, glycerin, glycerin fatty acid ester to a mixer in proportion to mix, to obtain a uniformly mixed material;
S2, extruding, stretching, cooling, and pelletizing the obtained uniformly mixed material in an extruder to obtain pellets for producing cling film;
S3, adding the obtained pellets to the film blowing machine for extrusion, inflation, traction, cooling, and winding to obtain a highly transparent self-adhesive PBAT cling film;
S4, rewinding the cling film obtained in S3 to prepare a small roll of highly transparent self-adhesive PBAT cling film;
the amount of each component in S1 by weight is: 88-94.5% of PBAT, 3-8% of ACR, 0.5-1% of glycerin, and 1-3% of glycerin fatty acid ester; the PBAT is a copolymer of butanediol adipate and butylene terephthalate, the ACR is a polymer copolymer of acrylate, and the molecular weight of the ACR is 500-10000.
As an improvement, the extruder in S2 adopts a twin-screw extruder.
As an improvement, the length-diameter ratio of the screw in the twin-screw extruder is 52:1.
As an improvement, the barrel temperature of the twin-screw extruder in S2 is 140-155° C., and the die temperature thereof is 155-170° C.
As an improvement, the barrel temperature of the film blowing machine is 150-165° C., the die temperature thereof is 165-180° C., and the blowup ratio is 3.
As an improvement, the mixer is a high-speed mixer, and the rotational speed of the high-speed mixer is 200 r/min.
As an improvement, the rewinding step in S4 is performed on a cling film rewinding machine, and the speed of the cling film rewinding machine is 100-150 m/min.
The advantageous effects of the invention are:
The invention adopts ACR with special molecular weight to modify PBAT, which increases the ductility, shrinkage property and flatness of winding of PBAT, so that the PBAT film obtained by winding is flat and free of wrinkles; glycerin can improve the extrusion stability, softness and adhesion properties of PBAT cling films, which makes the thickness of the extruded PBAT film even, and it is easier to make a flat cling film; glycerin fatty acid ester can improve the anti-fog property of PBAT cling films and improve the transparency of cling films.
