The invention provides waterborne
polyurethane and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: letting
phosphorus-free
polyol react with specific
phosphorus-containing
polyol as shown in a formula (1), a
phosphorus-containing stabilizer as shown in a formula (2) and polyisocyanate to form a
prepolymer, emulsifying, and reacting with a phosphorus-containing chain
extender to form the waterborne
polyurethane.
Phosphorus-containing groups are introduced into a
soft segment of a
polyurethane molecular chain by adopting phosphorus-containing
polyol shown as the formula (1) to form a part of a waterborne polyurethane structure unit, so that the waterborne polyurethane structure unit has
flame retardance under the condition that a
flame retardant is not added; by adopting the phosphorus-containing stabilizer as shown in the formula (2), emulsification of phosphorus-containing waterborne polyurethane can be promoted, and the problem that
emulsion is unstable after chain extension is solved, so that the problems that when a phosphorus-containing group is introduced into a polyurethane molecular structure, emulsification is difficult, and a waterbornedispersion liquid is difficult to form are solved. Moreover,
phosphine-containing groups are introduced into the
soft segment, the stabilizer and the chain
extender of the waterborne polyurethane, sothat the
flame retardance is greatly improved; and meanwhile, the binding power of the waterborne polyurethane is also enhanced by introducing a specific phosphorus-containing structure.
