Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a method for preparing an ammonium polyphosphate flame retardant based on epoxy resin microencapsulation. Background Technology

[0002] Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is an environmentally friendly inorganic flame retardant based on phosphorus and nitrogen. It has wide applications in flame-retardant coatings, resins, rubber, paper, wood, and fibers, characterized by low toxicity and low smoke. Currently, APP particle sizes range from 15 to 20 micrometers. The finer the particle size of an inorganic flame retardant, the larger the surface area, resulting in greater contact with the polymer, better dispersion and compatibility, and a significantly improved flame-retardant effect. However, in plastics, APP with a larger particle size can negatively impact dispersion; therefore, it is generally applied after grinding or pulverizing followed by saturation treatment.

[0003] Patent publication number CN101254908B discloses a method for preparing highly heat-resistant crystalline type II ammonium polyphosphate. This method involves a mixed reaction of diammonium hydrogen phosphate and phosphorus pentoxide, followed by ammonia introduction and spraying with a high-concentration urea solution. The resulting product has a small particle size, with an average particle size of less than 10 micrometers. However, the large amount of water present in the urea solution affects the condensation reaction in the synthesis process, easily leading to uneven polymerization and poor heat resistance, with an initial decomposition temperature of 270–275℃.

[0004] Patent publication CN101597044A discloses a method for preparing crystalline type II ammonium polyphosphate with high polymerization degree and narrow molecular weight distribution. The method involves an equimolar mixture of diammonium hydrogen phosphate and phosphorus pentoxide, with a large amount of inert gas introduced initially. The process involves the introduction, stopping, and re-introduction of ammonia gas, and the reaction is carried out with a surface treatment agent (selected from melamine cyanurate, aminosilane, epoxy resin, reactive melamine, or isocyanate). This method yields a polyphosphate product with a fine particle size (less than 12 micrometers). However, the preparation process requires the introduction of inert gases such as nitrogen, helium, and argon, increasing production costs. Furthermore, the production control process and operating steps are complex, and the equipment requirements are high.

[0005] Patent publication number CN111807343B discloses a method for controlling the fine particle size of ammonium polyphosphate and its application. In the process of ammonium polyphosphate synthesis, 0.5%-3% of ammonia-deficient ammonium polyphosphate powder is added to obtain a crystalline type II ammonium polyphosphate product with controlled fine particle size. This method can control the proportion of fine particles in the final product, with the proportion of fine particles ≤2.19μm being less than or equal to 2%, while the average particle size of the product remains around 17-20 micrometers. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Optionally, the initial curing conditions are: temperature 40–60°C, 60–120 minutes; the secondary curing conditions are: curing at 80–120°C for 1–5 hours.

[0040] Invention principle:

[0041] In this invention, the first step of the reaction uses an ultra-low ammonia flow reaction, in which the hydroxyl groups of melamine diamide condense with phosphorus pentoxide to produce melamine diamide phosphate. The ultra-low ammonia flow reaction helps to mitigate the initial violent reaction of phosphorus pentoxide, making the polymerization reaction more uniform, avoiding over-reaction, which causes the degree of polymerization to increase rapidly, and the reaction system to become viscous quickly, making it difficult to disperse the modifier.

[0042] In the second step, when the ammonia flow rate is increased, the temperature rises rapidly. Melamine diamide phosphate participates in the polymerization reaction of ammonium polyphosphate. In the polymerization reaction involving melamine diamide phosphate, the molecular chain grows unidirectionally. During the subsequent cooling process, the melamine diamide end is more likely to form crystal nuclei. At the same time, silica adsorbs melamine diamide, promoting its rapid dispersion in the system and making the reaction more uniform. After heating is stopped, the system begins to cool slowly. The silica adsorption end forms crystal nuclei first, enabling the ammonium polyphosphate molecules in the system to be rapidly and uniformly pulverized, resulting in more uniform and finer particle sizes.

[0043] The fine-particle-size ammonium polyphosphate prepared in this invention is first treated with hydrogen-containing silicone oil. The hydrogen-containing silicone oil contains a large number of active Si-H bonds, which facilitate the formation of hydrogen bonds between the phosphorus-oxygen double bonds in the ammonium polyphosphate, adhering to the surface of the ammonium polyphosphate powder and forming a hydrophobic film. Then, the ammonium polyphosphate is coated with an emulsified waterborne epoxy resin emulsion. Since the ammonium polyphosphate already has a hydrophobic film on its surface, after atomization, the droplets come into contact with the ammonium polyphosphate surface. Upon contact with the powder surface, the lipophilic groups of the droplets dissolve with the hydrogen-containing silicone oil, causing the epoxy resin and curing agent particles to distribute along the surface of the ammonium polyphosphate, making it easier to form a complete film during curing. Because water molecules are located towards the outside, a water layer separates the ammonium polyphosphate particles, making it difficult for the powder particles to adhere during curing. After the product is cured, the hydrogen-containing silicone oil layer is fixed under the epoxy resin coating layer, preventing water from penetrating into the interior and providing protection. With good coating integrity, the water solubility is greatly improved under the double protection of hydrogen-containing silicone oil and epoxy resin coating layers, which can be as low as 0.1g / 100mL water. After coating treatment, the product has small particle size, little particle size change, and good dispersibility. Detailed Implementation
