Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the continuous production of impact-modified, thermoplastic molding compositions which contain a rubber-elastic soft phase dispersed in a vinylaromatic hard matrix, and to a device for producing impact-modified, thermoplastic molding compositions.
- phase inversion grafting reactions also occur on the polybutadiene, which together with the stirring intensity and the viscosity influence the setting of the disperse soft phase.
- the polystyrene matrix is built up in the subsequent main polymerization.
- the separately produced rubber has to be comminuted and dissolved in a complex manner and the polybutadiene rubber solution thus obtained has to be filtered in styrene before the polymerization in order to remove gel particles.
- the block rubber thus produced must either be purified by precipitation or else the solvent and other volatile substances, in particular monomeric butadiene, must be distilled off.
- the monomer butadiene which, due to the residence time spectrum in stirred tanks, can only be reduced in quantity by long post-polymerization times after the monomers have been added, would then radical polymerization of styrene lead to crosslinking. Due to the high solution viscosity, only relatively dilute rubber solutions can be handled, which means high solvent consumption, cleaning and energy expenditure.
- the object of the invention was to provide a continuous process for the preparation of impact-modified molding compositions with a low residual monomer content. Only monomeric feedstocks should be used in the process and high space-time yields should be made possible. Furthermore, a device for carrying out the method should be provided.
- thermoplastic molding compositions which contain a rubbery soft phase disperse distribution in a vinyl aromatic resin matrix, found, which is marked in characterized ⁇ distinguished, is carried out that the entire process in at least three reac ⁇ tion zones, wherein
- the rubber required for the formation of the soft phase is polymerized anionically, essentially without backmixing, until complete conversion in solution,
- the rubber is fed directly or after the addition of a stopping or coupling agent to a second reaction zone R2, in which the addition of an amount sufficient for the phase inversion of vinyl aromatic monomer and further anionic initiator is polymerized at least until the phase inversion and
- a third reaction zone R3 with as much vinyl aromatic monomer as is required to form the impact-modified thermoplastic molding composition the polymerization is carried out anionically.
- the first reaction zone R1 for the production of the rubber component for the soft phase is shown schematically in FIG. 1. It essentially consists of N temperature-controlled mixer sections (1), N tube reactors (2) and N-1 heat exchangers (3) which are connected in series, where N is an integer> 1 and is advantageously between 2 and 8.
- the mixing sections can be designed, for example, as pipes which contain static mixers in order to promote radial mixing. So-called Kenics mixers or SMR reactors or so-called SMX or SMXL mixers as are marketed by Sulzer or in Chem. Eng. Techn. 13 (1990) pages 214-220.
- the tubular reactors (2) can optionally also contain mixing elements.
- the temperature-controlled mixer section and the tubular reactor can also be implemented as one unit. For example, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger or an SMR reactor can be used as the heat exchanger. After the last tubular reactor, before entering the second reaction zone R2, an inlet (7) is provided for a chain termination or coupling agent.
- the second reaction zone R2 is designed as a temperature-controllable backmixing unit. It can be designed, for example, as a stirred tank with a heat exchanger or as a circulation reactor with static mixers. A hydraulically filled circuit reactor can be particularly advantageous when the reaction mass has higher viscosities.
- the hard phase usually polystyrene, is polymerized until phase inversion and the desired morphology and particle size of the rubber-elastic phase are set.
- the necessary shear conditions are elements through the selected static mixing ⁇ and the flow rate of the polymerization - mass by adjusting the circulation ratio in the case of use of a circulation reactor, or by selecting suitable stirrer and the stirrer speed in the case of a stirred tank, preserver - technical th Detailed. embodiments of the reactors so ⁇ as the morphology and properties of the rubber-modified polystyrene is found of Industrial Chemistry, VCH, Weinheim 1993, pages 484 to A.

- polymerization is usually carried out at temperatures from 50 to 120 ° C., preferably from 60 to 45 100 ° C.
- the reaction mass from zone 2 fed to the third reaction zone is heated to 20 to 70 ° C., preferably 30 to 60 ° C. Additional styrenic monomer and optionally further initiator are metered in via feed 10.
- the reaction mixture is polymerized in the tubular reactor without heat removal to complete conversion.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé de production continue de matières de moulage thermoplastiques modifiées à résistance élevée aux chocs, qui contiennent une phase molle caoutchouteuse répartie de manière dispersée dans une matrice dure vinylaromatique. Dans une première zone de réaction, le caoutchouc requis pour la formation de la phase molle est polymérisé en solution de manière anionique sensiblement sans remélange jusqu'à réaction complète. Le caoutchouc est acheminé directement ou après adjonction d'un agent de réaction de rupture ou un agent de copulation, jusqu'à une deuxième zone de réaction où il est polymérisé sous apport d'une quantité suffisante, pour l'inversion de phase, de monomère vinylaromatique et d'un autre initiateur anionique. La polymérisation est parachevée de manière anionique, dans une troisième zone de réaction, avec la quantité de monomère vinylaromatique requise pour obtenir une matière de moulage thermoplastique modifiée à résistance élevée aux chocs.
