Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyurethane technology, and more particularly to a polyurethane composition and a polyurethane composite material. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane pultruded profiles are characterized by high strength, low thermal conductivity, insulation, and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for applications such as energy-saving doors and windows and photovoltaic frames. However, the current production efficiency of polyurethane pultrusion processes is generally ≤0.8m / min, which is relatively low and severely restricts the development of the polyurethane pultrusion industry.

[0003] In the production of polyurethane pultruded profiles, liquid polyurethane resin and solid reinforcing materials (such as glass fiber) are impregnated. Each glass fiber filament needs to be fully impregnated with the liquid polyurethane resin. Insufficient impregnation between the glass fiber and the liquid polyurethane resin can lead to inconsistent glass fiber content in the pultruded profile, deteriorated surface quality, profile deformation, and decreased yield. More seriously, it can cause mold blockage during production, resulting in shutdowns and severely impacting production efficiency and costs. Furthermore, as the pultrusion rate increases, the impregnation time for both glass fiber and liquid polyurethane resin decreases, further reducing the impregnation degree and causing problems in the pultruded profiles. Therefore, the industry has made numerous attempts to improve the impregnation degree between glass fiber and liquid polyurethane resin.

[0004] Patent document CN116925314A discloses an isocyanate reactive composition for preparing polyurethane composites, in which glycerol and diethylene glycol are used as chain extenders to reduce the viscosity of the system and accelerate the wetting between glass fibers and liquid polyurethane resin to meet the requirements of faster linear speeds during pultrusion. However, this method only achieves the purpose of reducing the viscosity of the raw materials by adding a substance that can reduce viscosity, and its control over the reaction process during the wetting stage is insufficient.

[0005] During pultrusion, the real-time viscosity of the resin affects the impregnation rate and the effective adsorption thickness of the resin layer on the fiber. Failure to control the reaction process of the polyurethane composition during the impregnation stage will severely impact the resin's performance and its processing characteristics.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a polyurethane resin system that satisfies both viscosity control and rapid pultrusion, in order to improve pultrusion processing efficiency and contribute to the development of the pultrusion industry. Summary of the Invention

[0035] In a second aspect, a polyurethane composite material is provided, the composite material comprising:

[0036] (a) A polyurethane resin matrix comprising 15 to 25 wt% (e.g., 16 wt%, 18 wt%, 20 wt%, 22 wt%, 24 wt%) of the total weight of the composite material, wherein the polyurethane resin matrix is ​​obtained by means of the polyurethane composition described above;

[0037] (b) A reinforcing material comprising 75 to 85 wt% (e.g., 76 wt%, 78 wt%, 80 wt%, 82 wt%, 84 wt%) of the total weight of the composite material;

[0038] The reinforcing material is a fibrous material, preferably selected from at least one of glass fiber, carbon fiber, polyester fiber, natural fiber, nylon fiber, aromatic polyamide fiber, basalt fiber, boron fiber, silicon carbide fiber, asbestos fiber, whiskers and metal fiber.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the polyurethane composite material provided by the present invention, the preparation process of the composite material is as follows: the polyurethane resin matrix and the reinforcing material are mixed evenly in proportion, and then processed and molded into an article.

[0040] In some embodiments, during the processing and molding of the composite material, the isocyanate reactive component, catalyst, and optional additives (component A) are thoroughly premixed with the isocyanate component (component B). During this premixing process, the materials are mixed using a polyurethane-specific dispensing machine or a handheld mechanical mixer.

[0041] In some implementations, the composite material is processed and formed using a pultrusion molding process.

[0042] In the processing and molding of the composite material described in this article, the isocyanate reactive component, catalyst, and optional additives, which are components A, are fully premixed with the isocyanate component, which is component B, to obtain a polyurethane composition; then, it is processed into composite profile products through a pultrusion molding process.

[0043] If the polyurethane resin reacts too quickly during the pultrusion process of polyurethane composite profiles, the viscosity of the resin in the injection box will rise rapidly, severely affecting the wetting efficiency between the resin and the reinforcing material (such as glass fiber), and may even cause the resin to gel prematurely, resulting in mold blockage. If the polyurethane resin reacts too slowly, the resin layer in the reinforcing material will not be thick enough, requiring a significant increase in the amount of reinforcing material. However, increasing the amount of reinforcing material will cause wetting problems between the resin and the fiber, leading to poor controllability and large fluctuations in the pultrusion process, as well as unqualified profile appearance.

[0044] The inventors have discovered that the real-time viscosity of the polyurethane resin during the pultrusion process of polyurethane composite profiles affects its wetting rate of the reinforcing material and the effective adsorption thickness of the resin layer in the reinforcing material. By controlling the content of low-viscosity primary alcohol in the isocyanate reactive component to 1-10 wt%, the viscosity of the isocyanate reactive component at 25°C is 400 mPa·s to 700 mPa·s. This effectively controls the reaction process between the components in the polyurethane composition, ensuring effective wetting of the resin into reinforcing materials such as fibers. Furthermore, by controlling the amount of catalyst, the polyurethane composition of this invention allows for controllable viscosity during the injection molding process and enables stable and rapid pultrusion during processing (composite profiles are prepared under high-speed pultrusion conditions with a linear speed of 1.5 m / min).

[0064] degree of ripening = (1-Q) sample / Q total )*100%.

[0065] Example 1

[0066] The preparation steps of the polyurethane resin matrix are as follows:

[0067] (1) Weigh each polyol, catalyst and auxiliary agent according to the formula shown in Table 1 and add them to a mixing container. Mechanically stir at 25°C and mix the materials evenly at a speed of 1500-2000 rpm to obtain the isocyanate reactive component in the polyurethane composition as component A.

[0068] (2) Weigh the isocyanate component PM200 as component B and add it to the polyurethane-specific injection machine along with the component A obtained in step (1). Mix the materials and inject them into the resin tank through the polyurethane-specific injection machine to obtain the polyurethane resin matrix.

[0069] The preparation steps of the polyurethane resin matrix in Examples 2-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are the same as those in Example 1, except that the types and amounts of each component (by weight) are in accordance with the corresponding formulations shown in Tables 1-2.

[0070] The polyurethane resin matrices obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were prepared into polyurethane pultruded composite profiles using a pultrusion process. The specific steps are as follows:

[0071] 105 glass fibers are drawn from the yarn rack, passed through the yarn threading plate, and entered the glue injection box of the glue injection machine. They then pass through the mold cavity and are tied to the traction belt. The traction belt is placed in the traction machine, and the traction device is turned on until all the glass fibers are pulled straight. After that, the traction device is turned off. The mold heating system is turned on, with three heating zones. The heating temperatures from the yarn inlet to the yarn outlet are 120℃, 200℃, and 220℃ respectively. The heating time is ≥1 hour to ensure that the mold is fully heated.

[0072] Subsequently, the glue injection machine is started, and the polyurethane resins prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are injected into the glue injection box until the glass fiber is fully impregnated. Then, the traction device is turned on, and the resin-impregnated glass fiber is pulled forward at a running speed of 1.5 m / min. After passing through the heating zone and curing, it is removed from the mold and cut to obtain the desired composite material sheet product.

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] In the table above, the amount of isocyanate component to be applied can be calculated using the given isocyanate index.

[0079] The above experimental results show that the polyurethane composition invented in this institute can achieve controllable viscosity during the injection process and stable and rapid pultrusion during the processing (composite profiles can be prepared under high-speed pultrusion conditions with a linear speed of 1.5 m / min).

[0080] During pultrusion, the real-time viscosity of the polyurethane resin affects its wetting rate on the fiber and the effective adsorption thickness of the resin layer on the fiber. This invention controls the content of low-viscosity primary alcohol in the isocyanate reactive component to be 1-10 wt%, resulting in a viscosity of 400 mPa·s to 700 mPa·s for the isocyanate reactive component at 25°C, and a real-time mixed viscosity η of the isocyanate component and the isocyanate reactive component at 25°C. tCompared to the time t required for the initial mixed viscosity η0 to increase by 100%, which satisfies 660s≥t≥200s, this can effectively control the reaction process between the components in the polyurethane composition, ensure the effective wetting of the fiber by the resin, and ultimately achieve excellent performance of the composite profile.

[0081] If the content of low-viscosity primary alcohol is too low, the resulting polyurethane composition resin will have poor viscosity reduction effect, a high initial viscosity, and poor fiber impregnation. Under rapid pultrusion, the fiber impregnation effect will further deteriorate, leading to processing problems in the composite profile. If the content of low-viscosity primary alcohol is too high, the polyurethane composition will react too quickly, and the resin will thicken too rapidly, resulting in a further shortening of the impregnation time during rapid pultrusion, making it impossible to guarantee effective fiber impregnation by the polyurethane resin. In addition, low-viscosity polyols are non-primary alcohols, and their resin viscosity reduction effect is also poor, with a high initial viscosity and poor fiber impregnation. Furthermore, if the amount of catalyst in the composition is not within the appropriate range, problems such as large fluctuations in resin extrusion and resin gelation will occur, leading to instability in the pultrusion process.

[0084] The polyurethane resins prepared in the various embodiments exhibit good wetting effects on glass fibers, resulting in composite profiles with excellent mechanical properties. In contrast, the polyurethane resins prepared in the comparative examples show poor wetting effects on glass fibers and unstable pultrusion processing, leading to composite profiles with poor mechanical properties.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
