Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of functional coatings technology, specifically to a high-strength insulating coating and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Insulation protection of electrical equipment and wires and cables is a key link in ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system. As a core protective material, insulating coatings must have both excellent mechanical strength and insulation properties to resist physical wear and environmental erosion under complex working conditions.

[0003] Currently, most mainstream insulating coatings on the market are traditional polymer materials such as polyurethane and epoxy resin. For example, a related technology discloses a technique for preparing coatings by compounding silicone resin and epoxy resin with fillers such as silicon nitride and magnesium oxide. This technique improves the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the coating to a certain extent and can meet the basic protection requirements under normal conditions. However, it still has certain limitations. For example, in extreme environments such as high temperature and high humidity, the weather resistance and anti-aging performance of traditional material systems are insufficient, resulting in a significant decrease in the mechanical strength of the coating. The coating is prone to cracking and peeling, which directly threatens the operational safety of electrical equipment and shortens its service life. In addition, some technologies have attempted to further improve its mechanical strength by introducing modified materials such as silane coupling agents, but the performance improvement is generally limited.

[0004] Therefore, developing an insulating coating that can maintain excellent mechanical strength and insulation performance in complex environments is of great significance for the insulation protection of electrical equipment, wires and cables, and other materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the problems of poor weather resistance and aging resistance of existing insulating coatings, which easily lead to coating cracking after long-term use in complex environments, this application provides a high-strength insulating coating and its preparation method.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a high-strength insulating coating, which adopts the following technical solution: A high-strength insulating coating comprises the following components in parts by weight: 30-40 parts of polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 18000-22000cp, 4-10 parts of silane coupling agent, 0.5-3 parts of composite nanofiller, 15-20 parts of aluminum hydroxide, 10-15 parts of silica, 0.2-0.5 parts of dibutyltin dilaurate, and 40-45 parts of diluent; The composite nanofiller is tungsten oxide, chitosan-modified montmorillonite, and black phosphorus in a weight ratio of 1:(0.1-0.8):(1.5-4).

[0007] This application provides a high-strength insulating coating. Firstly, it uses polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 18000-22000 cp as the matrix, ensuring good film-forming properties and coating uniformity while providing a stable mechanical support framework. Then, by introducing tungsten oxide, chitosan-modified montmorillonite, and black phosphorus as composite nanofillers in a weight ratio of 1:(0.1-0.8):(1.5-4), these three components synergistically construct a three-dimensional reinforcing network, significantly improving the coating's tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance. Simultaneously, the insulating properties of black phosphorus and tungsten oxide further optimize the coating's insulation performance, resulting in a substantial increase in breakdown voltage. In summary, the high-strength insulating coating provided by this application maintains excellent mechanical strength and film adhesion under extreme environments such as high temperature and high humidity, effectively solving the problem of performance degradation of existing coatings in complex environments. It is suitable for long-term insulation protection of electrical equipment, wires, and cables.

This results in a high-strength insulating coating with high mechanical strength, good insulation and excellent adhesion to the substrate surface. The coating can still maintain excellent mechanical strength and film adhesion under extreme environments such as high temperature and high humidity, and has good application prospects.

[0050] The high-strength insulating coatings obtained in Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were subjected to various performance tests, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0051] (1) Tensile strength: High-strength insulating coating was applied to a polytetrafluoroethylene release plate to form a coating film with a thickness of 2±0.2mm. The film was cut into I-shaped dumbbell specimens with a gauge length of 6±0.2mm and a gauge length of 25mm. The initial tensile strength of the coating film was tested using an electronic universal testing machine. The coating film was then placed in a constant temperature and humidity test chamber with environmental conditions of 60℃ and 80%RH. After standing for 1000h, the film was taken out, cooled to room temperature, and placed for 2h. The tensile strength after simulating extreme environment was tested using the same method as above. The tensile strength test was performed by averaging 5 valid specimens.

[0052] (2) Electrical breakdown strength: Prepare a coating with a thickness of 0.1±0.02mm and cut the coating into square samples of 50mm×50mm; use a power frequency breakdown voltage tester to test the electrical breakdown strength of the coating: use brass electrodes, with an upper electrode diameter of 25mm, a lower electrode diameter of 50mm, and an electrode edge radius of 2mm; test 3 different points for each sample, take the breakdown voltage values ​​of all valid test points, calculate the breakdown strength and take the average value.

[0053] (3) Adhesion: The high-strength insulating coating was applied to the epoxy resin board (FR-4) substrate to form a wet film with a thickness of 100±5μm. It was cured at 70℃ for 24h and then cooled to room temperature. The adhesion level of the coating on the substrate surface was then tested by cross-cut test. Next, it was placed in a constant temperature and humidity test chamber with environmental conditions of 60℃ and 80%RH. After standing for 1000h, it was taken out, cooled to room temperature and placed for 2h. The adhesion level of the coating was tested again.

[0054] Table 2 Performance test results of high-strength insulating coatings obtained in Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-5

[0055] According to the test results in Table 2, the high-strength insulating coatings obtained in Examples 1-14 have an electrical breakdown strength of 30.6-33.0 kV / mm and an initial tensile strength of 20.4-27.2 MPa after film formation, with an adhesion grade of 0 on the substrate surface. After testing in simulated extreme environments, the tensile strength of the coating is 17.1-24.7 MPa, with an adhesion grade of 0-1 on the substrate surface. In contrast, the high-strength insulating coatings obtained in Comparative Examples 1-5 have an initial tensile strength of only 15.2-18.7 MPa after film formation, with an adhesion grade of 0-1 on the substrate surface. After testing in simulated extreme environments, the tensile strength of the coating is only 12.8-15.9 MPa, with an adhesion grade of 0-2 on the substrate surface. Therefore, this application demonstrates that by using polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 18000-22000cp as the matrix and combining it with tungsten oxide, chitosan-modified montmorillonite, and black phosphorus as composite nanofillers in a weight ratio of 1:(0.1-0.8):(1.5-4), a high-strength insulating coating with high mechanical strength, good insulation, and excellent adhesion to the substrate surface can be obtained.
