Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing foamed molded articles made of silicone, in particular silicone rubber, and the use of the manufactured products.
  • Silicones can be divided into oils, resins and rubbers according to their areas of application. Silicone oils that are processed into emulsions, anti-show agents, pastes, fats and the like are linear polydimethylsiloxanes. Silicone resins are more or less cross-linked polymethyl- or polymethylphenylsiloxanes, whose elasticity and heat resistance increase with the content of phenyl groups. Silicone resins are used, for example, to manufacture paints, to coat household appliances and laminates. Silicone rubbers are masses which can be converted into the rubber-elastic state and which, as base polymers, contain polydiorganosiloxanes which have groups accessible to crosslinking reactions.
  • Silicone rubbers differ from the other types of rubber in that they are not purely organic compounds. Their structure gives the silicone rubbers their unique properties. A general distinction is made between hot-vulcanizing (HTV) silicone rubbers and cold-curing (RTV) silicone rubbers. One can differentiate between one and two component systems for the cold-curing RTV silicone rubber compounds.
  • HTV hot-vulcanizing
  • RTV cold-curing
  • RTV-1 one-component silicone rubber
  • RTV-1 the mass polymerizes slowly at room temperature under the influence of atmospheric humidity, the crosslinking taking place through condensation of SiOH groups with formation of Si-O bonds.
  • the SiOH groups are formed by hydrolysis of SiX groups of an intermediate species formed from a polymer with terminal OH groups and a crosslinker.
  • RTV-2 two-component rubbers
  • mixtures of silicic acid esters and organotin compound, for example are used as crosslinking agents.
  • HTV silicone rubbers are usually plastically deformable materials that contain highly disperse silica and organic peroxides as cross-linking catalysts and, after vulcanization at temperatures of more than 100 ° C, result in heat-resistant elastic silicone elastomers (silicone rubber).
  • Another crosslinking mechanism consists in the addition of Si-H groups to Si-bonded vinyl groups, both of which are built into the polymer chains or at the end thereof.
  • Radiation crosslinking is also known for HTV silicone rubbers. Since 1980, a liquid rubber technology (LSR Liquid Silicone Rubber) has been established, are vulcanized in which two liquid silicone rubber components via 'addition crosslinking in injection molding machines. ⁇
  • Liquid silicones open up new applications due to their • special ' material properties. rich in elastomer processing. In this way, new types of elastomer-thermoplastic composites can expand the range of previous silicone rubbers.
  • LIM liquid injection molding
  • Japanese patent application Sho 44-461 (461/1969) describes moldable sponge-like silicone rubber compositions which contain a thermally degradable blowing agent, in particular azobisisobutyronitrile. By breaking down the blowing agent, however, substances are produced which are harmful to humans and are therefore problematic from the point of view of environmental pollution.
  • Japanese patent application Hei 10-36544 (36,544 / 1998) describes a moldable sponge-like silicone rubber composition which comprises hollow thermoplastic silicone resin particles which are mixed into the liquid silicone composition, during which gases develop during the polymerization and in this way produce pores in the molded body ,
  • the silicone rubber sponge produced in this way has only a low mechanical strength, so the uses of this sponge are limited.
  • US 6,299,952 describes a moldable silicone rubber sponge composition which also comprises a gas-containing thermoplastic resin bead.

  • the present invention solves its underlying problem by providing a method for producing a foamed molded body of silicone rubber, whereby a two-component liquid silicone composition in the injection molding apparatus is thermally heated and vulcanized in a shaping cavity of the injection molding apparatus', wherein before the thermal treatment at least one liquid silicone component is mixed with an ammonium compound.
