The invention relates to a preparation method of high
flame retardant expansible
graphite, which comprises the following steps: dissolving the
graphite into a mixing solution of
perchloric acid and concentrated
nitric acid, wherein the dosage of the solution is 100-600% of the
mass of the solution; oxidizing the
graphite by using
solid oxidant of which the dosage is 0.5-50% of the
mass of the oxidant to obtain the primary expansible graphite, wherein the temperature of the expansible graphite is 20-80 DEG C, and the reaction time is 20-300min; dissolving tripolycyanamide or the derivants thereof and the
solid oxidant into
phosphoric acid of which the
mass fraction is 85+ / -10% to form a
phosphoric acid solution, wherein the dosage of the
solid oxidant is 0.5-50% of the mass thereof, and the mass concentration of the tripolycyanamide or the derivants thereof of the formed
phosphoric acid solution is 0.02-2g / ml; carrying out reaction of the primary expansible graphite and the phosphoric acid solution at the temperature of 20-80 DEG C for 20-300min to prepare the high
flame retardant expansible graphite. The method has the advantages that the tripolycyanamide or the derivants thereof are inserted between the expansible graphite
layers, thereby improving the expansibility, start expansion temperature and
fire resistance of the expansible graphite, and can be widely used for the
flame retardant of multiple materials such as plastic, rubber, paint, foam and the like.
