Introduction

Elastomers are an important polymer material and are widely used in many fields such as automobiles, construction, and electronics. However, the traditional elastomer production process has problems such as difficult processing and unstable product performance, which restricts its further development. In recent years, 2,2,4-trimethyl-2-silicon morpholine (TMSM) has shown great potential in improving the performance of elastomers as a new additive. This article aims to explore how to use TMSM to optimize the production process of elastomeric products, from raw material selection to finished product inspection, and provide reference and guidance for related industries.

I. Characteristics of 2,2,4-trimethyl-2-silicon morpholine and its role in elastomers

2,2,4-trimethyl-2-silicon morpholine (TMSM) is a silicon-containing organic compound with unique molecular structure and chemical properties. Its molecular formula is C7H15NOSi and its molecular weight is 157.28 g/mol. The molecular structure of TMSM contains silicon atoms and nitrogen atoms, making them have the flexibility of organic silicon compounds and the reactivity of nitrogen-containing compounds. This unique structure imparts excellent heat resistance, chemical stability and surfactivity to TMSM.

In elastomers, TMSM mainly plays a role in the following aspects: First, TMSM can be used as a crosslinking agent to participate in the vulcanization process of the elastomer, improve crosslinking density, and thereby enhance the mechanical properties of the material. Secondly, the silicon-oxygen bond of TMSM can form hydrogen bonds with the elastomer molecular chains, improving the flexibility and fatigue resistance of the material. In addition, TMSM can also act as an interface modifier to improve compatibility between filler and matrix, thereby improving the processing and final performance of the material.

Study shows that adding an appropriate amount of TMSM can significantly improve the tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance of the elastomer. For example, adding 1.5% TMSM to styrene butadiene rubber can increase the tensile strength by about 20%, tear strength is increased by about 15%. At the same time, TMSM can also improve the aging resistance of the elastomer and extend the service life of the product. These characteristics make TMSM an ideal choice for optimizing the production process of elastomer products.

2. Optimization of elastomer production process based on 2,2,4-trimethyl-2-silicon morphine

In terms of raw material selection, when using TMSM to optimize the production process of elastomer products, special attention should be paid to the purity and compatibility of the raw materials. It is recommended to choose TMSM with a purity of ≥99% to ensure its uniform dispersion and effective effect in the elastomer. At the same time, appropriate elastomeric substrates should be selected according to the specific application needs, such as natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber or silicone rubber. The choice of fillers should also consider compatibility with TMSM. Commonly used fillers include carbon black, white carbon black and calcium carbonate.

Optimization of production process flow is the key to improving the performance of elastomeric products. The traditional elastomer production process usually includes three main steps: kneading, forming and vulcanization. After the introduction of TMSM, it is necessary to adjust and optimize each step accordingly. During the kneading stage, it is recommended to add TMSM with other additives and use a segmented feeding method to ensure uniform dispersion. During the molding process, the temperature and pressure parameters can be adjusted appropriately to give full play to the interface modification role of TMSM. In the vulcanization stage, the vulcanization time and temperature need to be adjusted according to the amount of TMSM added to obtain an excellent crosslinking effect.

Adjustment of key process parameters is crucial to optimize the performance of elastomeric products. Here are some recommended process parameter ranges:

Process Steps	parameters	Suggested Scope
Mixing	Temperature	80-120℃
	Time	8-15 minutes
Modeling	Temperature	150-180℃
	Suppressure	10-20 MPa
Vulcanization	Temperature	160-190℃
	Time	10-30 minutes

It should be noted that the specific parameters should be adjusted appropriately according to actual production conditions and product requirements. By optimizing these key process parameters, the TMS can be fully utilizedThe role of M improves the comprehensive performance of elastomeric products.

3. Performance evaluation and application examples of optimized elastomeric products

The optimized elastomeric products have significantly improved in multiple performance indicators. In terms of mechanical properties, the elastomer with TMSM added exhibits higher tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance. For example, after adding 1.5% TMSM to styrene butadiene rubber, the tensile strength can be increased from 18 MPa to 21.5 MPa and the tear strength can be increased from 35 kN/m to 40 kN/m. In terms of thermal performance, the introduction of TMSM improves the heat resistance of the elastomer, and the thermal decomposition temperature can be increased by 20-30℃. The aging resistance has also been significantly improved. After 1000 hours of thermal aging, the tensile strength retention rate can be increased from 70% to more than 85%.

In practical applications, TMSM-optimized elastomeric products have been successfully applied to multiple fields. In the automotive industry, the use of TMSM modified rubber seals significantly improve oil and heat resistance and extend service life. In the field of construction, waterproof coils with TMSM are added to show excellent weather resistance and anti-aging properties, greatly extending the waterproofing cycle of buildings. In the electronics industry, TMSM modified silicone rubber is used to manufacture high-reliability seals, improving the protection level and service life of electronic devices.

The following is a specific application case: An automobile parts manufacturer uses TMSM-optimized production process to produce engine seals. By adding 1.2% TMSM and optimizing the kneading and vulcanization process, the volume change rate of the produced seal ring in high-temperature oil in 150°C is reduced from 15% to 8%, and the compression permanent deformation is reduced from 25% to 18%. This not only improves sealing performance, but also extends replacement cycles, saving customers a lot of maintenance costs.

These practical application cases fully demonstrate the effectiveness of TMSM in optimizing the production process of elastomeric products. By rationally using TMSM and optimizing production processes, the performance of elastomeric products can be significantly improved and the demanding requirements of different application fields can be met.

IV. Finished product inspection and quality control

In order to ensure the stable and reliable quality of elastomeric products optimized by TMSM, a complete finished product inspection and quality control system must be established. First, detailed inspection standards and procedures should be formulated. The following key test indicators are recommended:

Inspection items	Examination Method	Qualification Criteria
Appearance	Visual Inspection	Smooth surface, free of bubbles or impurities
Size	Calculator measurement	Meet the design drawing requirements
Hardness	Shore hardness meter	Determine according to product requirements
Tension Strength	Tension Testing Machine	≥18 MPa
Tear Strength	Tear Testing Machine	≥35 kN/m
Heat resistance	Thermal aging test	150℃×72h, performance retention rate ≥80%
Oil resistance	Oil Immersion Test	100℃×72h, volume change rate ≤10%

In terms of quality control, it is recommended to take the following measures: First, establish a strict acceptance system for raw and auxiliary materials to ensure the stable quality of TMSM and other raw materials. Secondly, implement full-process quality control, including online monitoring and regular sampling inspection. For key processes, such as mixing and vulcanization, quality control points should be set to monitor process parameters in real time. In addition, a complete quality traceability system should be established to promptly discover and resolve quality problems.

Data analysis plays a crucial role in quality control. It is recommended to use the statistical process control (SPC) method to monitor and analyze key quality indicators in real time. By collecting and analyzing data in the production process, abnormal trends can be discovered in a timely manner and preventive measures can be taken to avoid quality problems. At the same time, regular quality data analysis can provide a basis for continuous improvement of production processes.

After

, a complete quality feedback and improvement mechanism should be established. By collecting customer feedback and usage data, we can promptly discover problems in the actual application of the product and feed it back to the production link for improvement. At the same time, employees are encouraged to put forward quality improvement suggestions to create a quality management atmosphere where all employees participate.
