Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of flame retardant technology, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a flame retardant polyester polyol containing DOPO, and a preparation method of flame retardant polyurethane. Background Art

[0002] Flame-retardant polymer materials are attracting increasing attention due to their significant safety benefits in fire and disaster prevention. Polymers containing aromatic organophosphorus flame retardants are becoming a key development direction in the synthesis of flame-retardant polyesters and polyurethanes due to their outstanding efficiency, safety, and non-toxicity. Chemically grafted flame-retardant polymers overcome shortcomings such as poor matrix compatibility, susceptibility to leaching, and poor water resistance, and are expected to find application in a wider range of fields. 9,10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) and its derivatives possess heterocyclic phosphorus-containing properties, and the phosphaphenanthrene groups are easily incorporated into the polymer molecular structure, exhibiting excellent flame retardancy, thermal stability, and chemical stability, making them ideal flame-retardant organic molecules for chemical modification. Existing technologies primarily prepare DOPO derivatives by grafting reactive groups onto the DOPO structure, or by synthesizing chemically grafted flame-retardant polymers through addition reactions of DOPO with C=C double bonds and C≡C triple bonds. For example, application number CN20131008612.0 discloses a curable reactive flame retardant monomer molecule with an active double bond and a DOPO flame retardant group, which can be used to flame retard a variety of polymer resins containing unsaturated double bonds, such as epoxy acrylic resin and unsaturated polyester resin. However, the synthesis process is relatively complex and requires the use of reagents such as organic solvents and acid binders. The synthesis conditions require an inert atmosphere and low temperature. Chinese patent application number CN201510443198.5 discloses a DOPO-type reactive flame retardant with an epoxy end group and a preparation method thereof. DOPO and a polyglycidyl compound are used as raw materials to prepare a reactive flame retardant containing a DOPO flame retardant group and an epoxy end group. The reactive flame retardant can be used as a capped flame retardant for the flame retardancy of polyurethane materials. Because it can only be used as a capping agent in the synthesis of flame-retardant polyurethane, the amount added is limited. Patents CN201510032241.9 and CN201910367036.6 disclose methods for synthesizing DOPO-modified polyesters: DOPO is dissolved in a suitable solvent and then reacted with an unsaturated dibasic acid under heating to prepare a DOPO-containing dibasic acid. This dibasic acid is then esterified with a polyol to synthesize a DOPO-chemically grafted polyester. The unsaturated dibasic acid used in this synthesis route undergoes a free radical addition reaction with the pH of DOPO at high temperatures, while also undergoing self-polymerization between C=C double bonds. This facilitates cross-linking of the polymer molecules. Furthermore, the significant steric hindrance of the dibasic acid after grafting DOPO complicates the esterification reaction, resulting in a low molecular weight and low organophosphorus content in the resulting polyester polyol.

[0003] It can be seen that the flame-retardant polyester polyols in the prior art have the defect of low DOPO content, which limits the improvement of flame retardancy. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Mixing polyol, dibasic acid and polymerization inhibitor, and performing a precondensation reaction to obtain an unsaturated polyester prepolymer;

[0037] The unsaturated polyester prepolymer is mixed with DOPO and its derivatives, and addition reaction and condensation reaction are carried out in sequence to obtain the flame retardant polyester polyol containing DOPO (such as Figure 3 Steps ① and ② shown in the figure);

[0038] The molar ratio of the DOPO and its derivatives to the C=C double bonds in the unsaturated polyester prepolymer is 1:1;

[0039] The mass percentage of DOPO and its derivatives in the DOPO-containing flame-retardant polyester polyol is 30-60%;

[0040] The flame retardant polyester polyol containing DOPO is a linear molecule.

[0041] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, all preparation raw materials are commercially available products well known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] The present invention mixes polyol, dibasic acid and polymerization inhibitor, and performs precondensation reaction to obtain unsaturated polyester prepolymer.

[0043] In the present invention, the polyol preferably includes one or more of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 2-ethylhexanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, glycerol and trimethylolpropane. When the polyol is two or more of the above-mentioned specific selections, the present invention has no special limitation on the ratio of the above-mentioned specific substances, and they can be mixed in any ratio.

[0044] In the present invention, the dibasic acid preferably includes a saturated dibasic acid and an unsaturated dibasic acid; the molar ratio of the saturated dibasic acid to the unsaturated dibasic acid is preferably (0-9):(1-10), more preferably (1-8):(2-8), and most preferably (4-6):(3-5). In the present invention, the saturated dibasic acid preferably includes one or more of succinic acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and phthalic acid. When the saturated dibasic acid is two or more of the above-mentioned specific selections, the present invention has no special restrictions on the ratio of the above-mentioned specific substances, and they can be mixed in any ratio.

[0045] In the present invention, the unsaturated dibasic acid preferably includes one or more of itaconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and unsaturated fatty acids. When the unsaturated dibasic acid is two or more of the above-mentioned specific selections, the present invention has no special restrictions on the ratio of the above-mentioned specific substances, and they can be mixed in any ratio.

[0046] In the present invention, the molar ratio of the polyol to the dibasic acid is preferably (1-19):(1-10), more preferably (3-16):(2-8), and most preferably (7-11):(3-5).

[0049] The present invention effectively solves the problem of reaction difficulties caused by steric hindrance by first prepolymerizing (precondensation reaction) and then grafting (subsequent addition reaction) under the protection of a polymerization inhibitor.

[0087] The temperature of the reactor was lowered to 140° C., and then an equimolar amount of 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (phosphaphenanthrene flame retardant, DOPO) to maleic acid was added under stirring. The temperature was then raised to 150° C. and kept for 6 hours, followed by a gradient temperature increase. The gradient temperature increase program was 175° C. for 2.0 hours, 205° C. for 2.0 hours, and 220° C. for 2.0 hours. During the entire reaction process, vacuum (vacuum degree of 0.06 MPa) was used to remove the byproduct H2O. The reaction was stopped when the acid value was lower than 5 mg KOH / g to obtain a DOPO-grafted polyester polyol.

During the reaction, the viscosity of the reaction system was adjusted with an appropriate amount of ethyl acetate. After the reaction was completed, the reaction was naturally cooled and the material was coated on the surface of nylon fabric for verification of flame retardancy. The test results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown by Figure 2It can be seen that the DOPO-grafted polyurethane has a significant flame retardant effect when used for the modification of nylon fabrics, and achieves the effect of self-extinguishing when away from fire.

The mixture was reacted at 75° C. for 5 h. During the reaction, an appropriate amount of acetone was used to adjust the viscosity of the reaction system. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was naturally cooled and discharged to obtain a flame-retardant polyurethane.
