EXOTHERM STOPPER MIXTURES

Field of the Invention

Present invention is related with exotherm that causing toxic emissions, excessive temperature rising, flame and the resin to adhere to a temporary storage tank. Present invention is also related with an exotherm stopper mixture specific to resin type that stops the exotherm, reduce the emission and help cleaning to be done after the reaction.

Background of the Invention An exotherm is an uncontrollable reaction between a solvent-free resin and hardener, which happens when the heat generated by the resin-hardener reaction cannot escape readily. The trapped heat accelerates the reaction, which in turn generates more heat and further accelerates the reaction until it becomes uncontrollable. For every 10°C rise in temperature the reaction rate doubles. This normally happens only in bulk mixes, as mixed resin applied to a job is usually in a thin film from which heat readily escapes. Therefore, care should be taken to control excessive exotherm, which can result in overheating of the product and possible thermal decomposition.

There are several factors that can affect the degree of exotherm produced like the volume and configuration of the mixed mass, the temperature of the mixture, the formation of concentrated regions because of not using the mixed materials quickly enough, the reactivity of the epoxy thermosetting resin and the curing agent

As uncontrolled rise in the temperature causes some severe results, precautions should be taken. First of all the mixture is actively heated and cooled in order to control the temperature. Activity of the epoxy thermosetting resin curing agent that is used should be as low as possible. Also, preparing the smaller amount of the mixture than critical mass of mixture is another way to prevent or slow down to exotherm. Finally, the mixture can be prepares at the possible lowest temperature. Polymerization reactions are subject to the Arrhenius equation [1] as every reaction. In every reaction rate constant (k) depends on the temperature k = Ae ^~Ea/RT _f1]

Ea: activation energy

R: Universal gas constant

T: absolute Temperature

A: is the pre-exponential factor (or simply the pre-factor)

k: rate constant of a chemical reaction

At temperature (T) energy of the molecules are distributed by Boltzmann distribution. Thus, collisions with higher energy than activation energy are proportional to e-EafTT.

All the values except the temperature (T) are constant in Arrhenius equation. Every 10 ° increase in the temperature increases rate constant approximately 2 times or more.

As the polymerization reactions come close to end, an increase is observed not only in viscosity but also in temperature. Every 10 ° C rise in temperature doubles the speed of reaction and causes increased heat discharge. Gelled polymer also slows down the termination reactions in free radical reactions. Increase in heat becomes uncontrollable because of the increase in the overall rate of reaction. This phenomenon is called Trommsdorff-Norrish effect in free radical polymerizations, step-growth polymerization in epoxy-amine polymerizations and uncontrolled exotherm in condensation reactions.

I: molarity of free radical initiator

M: molarity of monomer

Stopping the exotherm by pouring water or sand is the main method in the prior art. It is also known from US2004181016 A and US2015045521 A that exotherm can be terminated by poisoned the catalyst used in the olefin polymerization reactions by chemically reactive agents. US2004253151 A, US2010317812 A and US2005246067 A disclose a method of termination of the exotherm by injecting a kill agent automatically when an increase in pressure in the reaction vessel is sensed.

It is also known in the prior art that protonation of amines by HCI is a method used to stop polymerization and to prevent the cross linking of the epoxy amine reactions. US 3346519 A disclose the synthesis of cationic epoxy-amine derivatives that are soluble and dispersible.

It should be noted that the methods in the prior art are not enough to stop exotherm sor reduced their effects. It is not guaranteed to stop exotherm by using the methods in the prior art like pouring water or sand. Moreover these methods do not help or contribute for cleaning after the reaction or they do not decrease the emission. The resulting emissions are carcinogenic in most cases. If the emission is not prevented or reduced or causes some temporary or permanent effects on health

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an exotherm stopper mixture that has high boiling point and low vapor pressure.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide an exotherm stopper mixture formulation to make easier to clean the medium of the reaction between resin and hardener.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a method to prevent the reaction between resin and hardener.

Detailed Description of the Invention

When the heat generated by the resin-hardener reaction cannot escape readily, exotherm, which is an uncontrollable reaction between a resin and hardener, occurs. Exotherm causes toxic emissions, excessive temperature rising, flame and the resin to adhere to a temporary storage tank. Preventing exotherm by cooling the reaction with water or sand is a known method in the prior art. When temperature rise is stopped by sand or water, it causes to slow down exotherm but this method is limited because thermosetting resins are often good heat insulators and water or sand cannot reach the center of the exotherm. This method is effective only on the exterior surface. Also, this method does not stop the reaction or occurring of the exotherm by binding the catalyst or chemicals that causes the reaction. Present invention provides an exotherm stopper mixtures suitable for being used to control the exotherm between a resin and a hardener and its side effects like carcinogenic emission. Present invention provides a method of controlling exotherm between a resin and a hardener that the exotherm stopper mixture is added to thermosetting resin such that the exotherm stopper mixture is at least twice the volume of resin that forms exotherm. The term of exotherm stopper is a mixture that binds with amine groups to terminate the exothermic reaction. When all the amine groups are consumed, the reaction between resin and hardener stops.

By adding these stopper mixtures to the reaction medium or vessel, it is not only prevented the uncontrollable reaction between a resin and hardener but also these mixtures make easier to clean the reaction vessels after reaction is completed. When thermosetting resins are emulsified with excipient mixture comprising surfactants, emulsifiers, dispersants or co-solvents or combination thereof in the exotherm stopper mixture, resins absorb solvents. In this way, cleaning to be done become much easier than the methods in the prior art. For instance, when sand is added to the reaction medium, viscosity increases excessively and it makes difficult to cleaning. An exotherm stopper mixture disclosed in the present invention suitable for being used to control the exotherm between a resin and a hardener comprises water, at least one high- boiling solvent, at least one exotherm stopper reactive, and an excipient mixture comprising surfactant, emulsifier, disperser or co-solvent or combination thereof.

Role of the surfactant in excipient mixture is making water-solvent mixture/emulsion to penetrate the semi-cured resin or in the beginning of exotherm thanks to low amount of crosslinks dissolving the resin in solvent/water mixture.

The reactive in the exotherm stopper mixture, curing agent in the resin and intermediate structures formed by the curing agent and resin are bonded and form radical initiators and radical forms. Because of this chemical bonding, exotherm is permanently stopped; resin components became more compatible with solvent. Another reason to use them is to facilitate the dissolution in water and solvent. Also they reduce the cross link amount while they stop exotherm. Thus, they help dissolution and make cleaning much more easily. Exotherm stopper reactive are preferred liquid form.
