Application of bis(3-diylpropyl)aminoisopropyl alcohol ZR-50 in increasing the rebound rate of foam materials
Introduction
Foaming materials are widely used in modern industry, from furniture, mattresses to car seats, packaging materials, etc. The performance of foaming materials directly affects the comfort and service life of the product.

1.3 Chemical Properties
ZR-50 is a multifunctional amine compound with the following chemical properties:
- Basic: ZR-50 molecules contain multiple amine groups, which are highly alkaline and can react with acidic substances.
- Hyperphilicity: Because of its hydroxyl and amine groups, ZR-50 has good hydrophilicity and can form hydrogen bonds with water.
- Reactive activity: The amine and hydroxyl groups of ZR-50 enable it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as condensation reactions, cross-linking reactions, etc.
2. ZR-50 in foam materialThe mechanism of action
2.1 Formation of foam material
The formation of foam materials usually involves the following steps:
- Foaming: The bubbles are generated in the polymer matrix by physical or chemical methods.
- Stable: Air bubbles exist stably in the polymer matrix to form a foam structure.
- Currect: The polymer matrix cures to form the final foam material.
2.2 The role of ZR-50
The role of ZR-50 in foam materials is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
2.2.1 The function of foaming agent
ZR-50 can be used as an additive to foaming agent to improve foaming efficiency. Its alkalinity can react with acidic foaming agents, release gas, and increase the number of bubbles.
2.2.2 Effect of stabilizers
The amine and hydroxyl groups of ZR-50 can react with functional groups in the polymer matrix to form a crosslinked structure, enhance the stability of the foam material and prevent bubble bursting.
2.2.3 Effects of crosslinking agents
ZR-50 can cross-link with functional groups in polymer matrix to form a three-dimensional network structure and improve the mechanical strength and rebound rate of foam materials.
2.3 Summary of action mechanism
ZR-50 plays an important role in the foaming, stabilization and curing process of foam materials through its alkalinity, hydrophilicity and reactive activity, and ultimately improves the rebound rate of foam materials.
3. Application method of ZR-50
3.1 Addition amount
The amount of ZR-50 added has a significant impact on the properties of the foam material. Generally, the amount of ZR-50 added is 0.5% to 2.0% of the polymer matrix. The specific amount of added should be adjusted according to the type and performance requirements of the foam material.
Foaming Material Type | ZR-50 addition amount |
---|---|
Polyurethane foam | 0.5%-1.5% |
Polystyrene Foam | 1.0%-2.0% |
Polyethylene Foam | 0.8%-1.8% |
3.2 Adding method
ZR-50 can be added to foam material by::
- Premix method: Premix ZR-50 with the polymer matrix in advance and then foam.
- Post-addition method: Add ZR-50 to the foaming agent during the foaming process, and releases gas with the foaming agent.
3.3 Process parameters
The addition effect of ZR-50 is affected by process parameters, mainly including temperature, pressure and time.
Process Parameters | Recommended Value |
---|---|
Temperature | 50-80°C |
Suppressure | 0.1-0.5 MPa |
Time | 10-30 minutes |
4. Evaluation of the effectiveness of ZR-50 to enhance the rebound rate of foam materials
4.1 rebound rate test method
Rounce rate is usually tested by:
- Ball Falling Method: Fold a steel ball of a certain mass freely from a certain height and measure its rebound height.
- Compression method: Compress the foam material to a certain proportion and measure the time it will return to its original state.
4.2 Test results
By adding ZR-50, the rebound rate of foam material is significantly improved. The following is a comparison of the rebound rates before and after the addition of ZR-50 in different foam materials.
Foaming Material Type | No ZR-50 rebound rate added | Add ZR-50 rebound rate | Elevation |

Polyurethane foam | 60% | 75% | 15% |
Polystyrene Foam | 50% | 65% | 15% |
Polyethylene Foam | 55% | 70% | 15% |
4.3 Other performance evaluations
In addition to rebound, the ZR-50 also has a positive impact on other properties of foam materials.
Performance metrics | ZR-50 not added | Add ZR-50 | Elevation |
---|---|---|---|
Compressive Strength | 100 kPa | 120 kPa | 20% |
Tension Strength | 80 kPa | 95 kPa | 18.75% |
Durability | 1000 cycles | 1200 cycles | 20% |
