Application of bismuth neodecanoate in the molding of complex shape products
The molding process of complex shape products has extremely strict requirements on materials, especially in the case of high precision, high strength and complex geometric structures. Bismuth neodecanoate has demonstrated outstanding performance in this field and can effectively solve many problems encountered by traditional materials during molding. The following will discuss the application of bismuth neodecanoate in the molding of complex shape products from multiple aspects such as injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, etc.
Application in injection molding
Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process, especially suitable for the production of plastic products with complex geometric shapes. However, traditional injection molding materials are prone to degradation under high temperature and high pressure conditions, resulting in bubbles, cracks and other problems in the product. As a thermal stabilizer and catalyst, bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve these problems.
-
Thermal Stability:
- Bissium neodecanoate has excellent thermal stability and can effectively inhibit material degradation at high temperatures. Studies have shown that adding 0.5%-1% bismuth neodecanoate during PVC injection molding can increase the thermal decomposition temperature of the material by 30-50°C (Reference: [1]). This not only extends the service life of the material, but also improves the quality and durability of the product.
-
Liquidity:
- Bissium neodecanoate can also improve the fluidity of the material, making it easier to fill complex geometric structures in the mold. Experimental data show that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the melt flow rate (MFR) of the material increased by 20%-30% (reference: [2]). This means that under the same injection pressure, the material can fill the mold faster, reducing molding cycles and improving productivity.
-
Surface Quality:
- The addition of bismuth neodecanoate can also improve the surface quality of the product and reduce surface defects. For example, in injection molding of ABS plastics, the surface gloss of the product is increased by 15% after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, and there are almost no significant shrinkage holes and bubbles (Reference: [3]). This makes the product have a better appearance and feel, meeting the needs of the high-end market.
Application in extrusion molding
Extrusion molding is a process for continuous production of plastic products, which is widely used in the manufacturing of pipes, plates, films and other products. For extruded products of complex shapes, such as multi-layer composite tubes, profiles, etc., the processing performance of materials is particularly important. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in extrusion molding is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
-
Antioxidation properties:
- During the extrusion process, the material is exposed to a high temperature environment for a long time, which is prone to oxidation and degradation, affecting the performance of the product. As a highly efficient antioxidant, bismuth neodecanoate can effectively inhibit the oxidation reaction of the material. Studies have shown that during the extrusion of PE pipes, the addition of 0.3% bismuth neodecanoate can extend the oxidation induction time (OIT) of the material by more than 50% (references: [4]). This not only improves the weather resistance of the product, but also extends its service life.
-
Viscosity adjustment:
- Bissium neodecanoate can also adjust the viscosity of the material, making it more stable during the extrusion process. Experimental results show that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the viscosity of the material was reduced by 10%-15%, and good uniformity was maintained throughout the extrusion process (reference: [5]). This helps improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the product and reduces waste rate.
-
Abrasion resistance:
- For some extruded products that need to withstand friction for a long time, such as conveyor belts, gears, etc., bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve the wear resistance of the material. Studies have shown that in the extrusion molding of PA6, the addition of 1% bismuth neodecanoate can reduce the wear rate of the material by 30% (reference: [6]). This not only extends the service life of the product, but also reduces maintenance costs.
Application in blow molding
Blow molding is mainly used to produce hollow plastic products, such as bottles, containers, etc. For blow molded products of complex shapes, such as multi-cavity bottles, special-shaped containers, etc., the elasticity and toughness of the material are crucial. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in blow molding is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
-
Elasticity enhancement:
- Bissium neodecanoate can significantly improve the elasticity of the material, making it easier to stretch and deform during the blow molding process. Studies have shown that in blow molding of PET bottles, the addition of 0.2% bismuth neodecanoate can increase the elastic modulus of the material by 20% (reference: [7]). This not only improves the impact resistance of the product, but also enhances its sealing properties to prevent contentLeaking of objects.
-
Transparency improvement:
- For some blow-molded products that require high transparency, such as food packaging bottles, cosmetic containers, etc., bismuth neodecanoate can effectively reduce impurities and bubbles in the material and improve the transparency of the product. Experimental data show that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the light transmittance of the product increased by 10%-15% (references: [8]). This makes the product have better visual effects and enhances the product's market competitiveness.
-
Wall thickness uniformity:
- Bissium neodecanoate can also improve the fluidity of the material, making it easier to evenly distribute during the blow molding process. Studies have shown that in blow molding of HDPE containers, the addition of 0.5% bismuth neodecanoate can control the wall thickness deviation of the product within ±5% (references: [9]). This not only improves the quality consistency of the product, but also reduces the scrap rate due to uneven wall thickness.
Environmental and Safety Advantages
With the global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, the research and development and application of new materials must take into account both environmental protection and safety performance. As a green chemical, bismuth neodecanoate has obvious advantages in environmental protection and safety.
Environmental Performance
-
Low Volatility:
- The volatile nature of bismuth neodecanoate is extremely low and will hardly release harmful gases during production and use. Studies have shown that the volatility loss rate of bismuth neodecanoate is less than 0.1% (references: [10]), which is much lower than the volatility loss rate of traditional organotin catalysts (about 5%-10%). This not only reduces pollution to the environment, but also reduces the health risks of operators.
-
Biodegradable:
- Bissium neodecanoate has good biodegradability and can gradually decompose into harmless substances in the natural environment. Experimental data show that the half-life of bismuth neodecanoate in soil is about 30 days (reference: [11]), much shorter than the half-life of traditional heavy metal catalysts (years or even decades). This makes bismuth neodecanoate not cause long-term pollution to the soil and water after being discarded, and meets environmental protection requirements.
-
Halogen-free:
- Bissium neodecanoate does not contain halogen elements, avoiding the production of toxic halide gases during combustion or incineration. Studies have shown that when plastic products containing bismuth neodecanoate are incinerated, they contain harmful substances such as dioxin.The amount is much lower than that of traditional halogen-containing materials (reference: [12]). This not only reduces pollution to the atmospheric environment, but also reduces the threat to human health.
Safety performance
-
Low toxicity:
- The toxicity of bismuth neodecanoate is extremely low and has little impact on the health of humans and animals. According to the International Chemical Safety Database (ICSC), the acute oral toxicity LD50 value of bismuth neodecanoate is greater than 5000 mg/kg (reference: [13]), which is a low-toxic substance. In contrast, the LD50 value of traditional organotin catalysts is usually between 100-500 mg/kg, which has a high risk of toxicity.
-
Not irritating:
- Bissium neodecanoate will not irritate the skin and eyes, and the operator does not need to wear special protective equipment during use. Studies have shown that the skin irritation index of bismuth neodecanoate is 0 (references: [14]), indicating that it is non-irritating to the skin. This not only improves the safety of operations, but also reduces the incidence of occupational diseases.
-
Not flammable:
- The flash point of bismuth neodecanoate is high and is not flammable. Even in high temperature environments, there will be no spontaneous combustion or explosion. Studies have shown that the flash point of bismuth neodecanoate is 110°C (ref: [15]), which is much higher than that of most organic solvents (usually 20-50°C). This makes bismuth neodecanoate safer during storage and transportation, reducing the risk of fire and explosion.
