- Abstract
In order to solve the problem of insufficient vulcanization of the molding silicone rubber used in automobile interior decoration, a certain amount of tri-(2,4-bis-tert-butyl phenyl) phosphite (A) and triphenyl phosphate ester (B) were added into RTV-2 (two-component room temperature vulcanized) liquid silicone rubber. The influence of different valence state phosphorus (P) on the vulcanization behavior of silicone rubber and the critical content of P for platinum catalyst poisoning were studied. The results show that the main reason which causing the non-vulcanization of silicone rubber in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) skin is because of the unsaturated P element. The shared electron pairs on the orbit of the unsaturated phosphorus element will combine with platinum, causing an irreversible reaction, and lead to the poisoning of the platinum catalyst, resulting in the incomplete vulcanization of RTV -2 silicone rubber. In the practical production, it is necessary to ensure that the content of unsaturated P element in PVC skin is less than the critical value which causes platinum element poisoning in platinum catalyst, and the RTV -2 silicone rubber can be completely vulcanized to replicate clear PVC skin pattern.
