摘要:
The invention relates to a method for preparing a stable and thin liquid polyisobutene emulsion comprising the steps of i) heating a polyisobutene polymer, optionally mixing said polyisobutene polymer with a wax and/or oil, thereby obtaining a pre-mix, ii) mixing said pre-mix in water containing one or more surfactants in a concentration of the surfactant of maximum 5% wt. at a controlled flow rate, which flow rate is sufficiently slow to form particles of the pre-mix, thereby obtaining a pre-emulsion, and iii) homogenizing said pre-emulsion, thereby obtaining said polyisobutene emulsion with an average particle size of at maximum 100 μm.

The invention relates to an aqueous polyisobutene emulsion comprising : 1 %wt. to 65 %wt., based on the total weight of said emulsion, of polyisobutene, - at maximum 5 %wt., based on the total weight of said emulsion, of at least one surfactant, and - optionally 1 %wt. to 65 %wt., based on the total weight of said emulsion, of at least one wax and/or oil, complemented with water to 100 %wt., whereby the average particle size of said polyisobutene emulsion is not greater than 100 μm. The present invention also relates to the use of such an emulsion.
摘要:
The current invention concerns a method for preparing a polyisobutene (PiB) in water emulsion characterized by the steps : - combining a number of separate fluid streams of PiB and water with formation of alternating fluid lamellae of PiB and water, - focusing the alternating fluid lamellae of PiB and water with formation of a focused total fluid stream, - gradually tapering the cross-flow section of said focused total fluid stream in the direction of the flow in a manner that decays said alternating polyisobutene and water fluid lamellae. The current invention relates to a method for producing dispersions. The current invention also concerns the emulsions produced by said method. The current method also relates to polymer emulsions, particularly polyisobutene emulsions with a high content of polyisobutene. The current method also relates to a method for reducing the average droplet diameter of an emulsion, comprising the steps : - providing an emulsion, comprising droplets of a dispersed phase within a continuous phase, characterized by an average droplet diameter and a viscosity ratio of the dispersed phase to said continuous phase of at least 4.0, and - reducing said average droplet diameter by forcing said emulsion through a gradually tapered cross-flow section of in the direction of the flow in a manner that decays said alternating polyisobutene and water fluid lamellae.
