Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional fabric technology, specifically to a highly flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Workers in industries such as firefighting, metallurgy and casting, and electrical engineering often operate in high-temperature environments, potentially exposed to hazards such as hot splashes, intense radiant heat, and burns. To ensure the safety of these workers, specialized flame-retardant and heat-insulating protective clothing is required. The fabrics used to manufacture these protective suits must possess excellent flame-retardant and heat-insulating properties, and must not melt or drip under fire or high-temperature conditions. The fabric must also maintain dimensional stability and exhibit excellent abrasion and tear resistance, effectively extending the service life of the flame-retardant and heat-insulating protective clothing.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN110387740A discloses a method for preparing a graphene-based heat dissipation welding protective clothing fabric and the resulting fabric. The method involves applying a graphene oxide solution to a flame-retardant base fabric, drying it, then performing a reduction treatment and drying again to obtain the graphene-based heat dissipation welding protective clothing fabric. The resulting fabric exhibits good surface heat dissipation performance, flame retardant properties, and the ability to prevent molten metal dripping and heating. However, after repeated washing, the graphene easily detaches, affecting the fabric's performance. Chinese patent CN201640555U discloses a high-temperature resistant composite protective clothing fabric woven from composite flame-retardant yarn. This yarn is composed of a blend of aramid fiber and flame-retardant viscose fiber, wrapped around the outer surface of a glass fiber core yarn. However, this fabric has poor moisture absorption and cannot absorb sweat produced by the body in high-temperature environments, causing severe discomfort. Furthermore, the added glass fiber can be harmful to the human body.

[0004] Therefore, developing a highly hygroscopic, flame-retardant, and heat-insulating protective fabric is of great significance and value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a highly flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric and its preparation method, thereby producing a highly flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric with good moisture absorption.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention discloses a method for preparing a highly flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric, comprising the following steps:

[0012] Cotton fibers and protein fibers are blended to obtain warp and weft yarns, which are then woven to create a comfort layer.

[0013] Using a flame-retardant and heat-insulating layer as the outer layer and a comfort layer as the inner layer, the flame-retardant and heat-insulating layer and the comfort layer are aligned and stacked, and then sewn together to obtain a highly flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric.

[0014] Preferably, in step one: the mass ratio of nano-silica, toluene, and 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane is 100:8000-12000:85-105; the reaction conditions are: reaction at 100-110℃ for 18-24h; centrifugation conditions are: centrifugation at 6000-8000r / min for 12-15min; and drying conditions are: drying at 60℃ for 12-18h.

[0015] Preferably, in step two, the mass ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide, diethyl N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylenephosphonate, and glycidyl methacrylate is 1500-1800:100:50-60, and the reaction conditions are 65-75℃ for 36-42 hours.

[0022] Preferably, a high flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric is prepared using the above-described method for preparing high flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] In this invention, 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane is used to modify nano-silica, introducing chlorosilane-modified silica onto the surface of nano-silica to obtain chlorosilane-modified silica. The hydroxyl groups on N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylenephosphonate diethyl ester and the epoxy groups on glycidyl methacrylate react to obtain a flame-retardant intermediate containing unsaturated double bonds. γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane is then used to modify graphene oxide to obtain alkenyl-modified graphene oxide. The alkenyl-modified graphene oxide and the flame-retardant intermediate containing unsaturated double bonds undergo a polymerization reaction under the action of the initiator chlorosilane-modified silica and the catalyst cuprous chloride to obtain a silica-graphene graft copolymer. A aramid fiber and polyester fiber are blended and woven to obtain a base fabric. The base fabric is then impregnated in a silica-graphene graft copolymer dispersion, subjected to two dips and two nips, and dried to obtain a flame-retardant and heat-insulating layer. The silica-graphene graft copolymer in the dispersion contains a large number of active groups, which can form an interaction force with the groups on the base fabric, improving the adhesion of the silica-graphene graft copolymer and making it less likely to fall off after washing. Cotton fiber and protein fiber are blended and woven to obtain a comfort layer. The flame-retardant and heat-insulating layer and the comfort layer are sewn together to obtain a highly flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabric.

[0025] In this invention, the aramid and polyester fibers in the flame-retardant and heat-insulating layer possess ultra-high strength, stable chemical structure, and are not easily damaged. Aramid fibers exhibit no dripping during combustion, good softness, and low shrinkage, while polyester fibers possess excellent toughness, are not easily damaged, and have good elasticity and heat resistance. The two fibers are blended to obtain yarn, which is then woven into a base fabric. This fabric is impregnated in a silica-graphene graft copolymer dispersion, subjected to two dips and two nips, and dried to obtain a flame-retardant and heat-insulating layer with excellent flame-retardant and heat-insulating properties. Nano-silica is a common reinforcing inorganic filler that effectively improves the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the matrix. It is also an effective flame-retardant synergist. Nano-silica and graphene dispersed on the surface of the base fabric effectively improve the thermal stability, high-temperature resistance, and density of the carbon layer during combustion, blocking the transfer of heat between the inside and outside of the matrix while slowing down the release of pyrolysis products. The synergistic effect of these two components significantly enhances the flame-retardant capability of the matrix. Introducing 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane onto the surface of nano-silica allows the chlorine atoms to act not only as initiators for subsequent reactions but also to react with the free radicals HO· from matrix decomposition during combustion to generate halogen free radicals Cl·, which then react with polymer chains to produce HCl. This effectively interrupts the reaction between HO· and oxygen, and the low content of HCl makes it virtually harmless to the human body. The product also contains silicon. Silicon was also introduced onto the surface of graphene oxide, further enhancing the density of the char layer during combustion. The modification effectively prevents the aggregation of nano-silica and graphene oxide, and the inorganic flame retardant provides excellent heat insulation. The phosphorus element in the organic flame retardant N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylenephosphonic acid diethyl ester generates PO· free radicals during combustion, which can capture ·OH and H· free radicals in the flame, interrupt the combustion chain reaction, reduce the heat released by combustion, and at the same time generate phosphoric acid-containing substances, promoting char formation on the matrix surface. The formed char layer is more dense, preventing heat conduction and further inhibiting the continuation of the combustion reaction. The nitrogen element it contains generates non-flammable gases during combustion, effectively diluting the oxygen concentration required for combustion and reducing the elements required for the combustion reaction.

[0026] In this invention, the cotton fibers in the comfort layer contain a large number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, which make the skin feel soft and not stiff and have excellent heat resistance. The protein fibers have good skin affinity, breathability and moisture-wicking function. The two fibers are blended to obtain yarn, and then woven to obtain the comfort layer as the inner layer. The fabric is soft and comfortable, and has excellent breathability, which avoids stuffiness for workers during wear and provides good comfort. The fabric obtained after hot pressing has high flame retardancy and heat insulation properties, making it an excellent protective fabric. Attached Figure Description

[0096] The high flame-retardant heat-insulating protective fabrics prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were used as samples for performance testing, and the tests are as follows:

[0097] (1) Flame retardant performance test: The test standard GB / T 5454-1997 "Oxygen Index Method for Burning Performance Tests of Textiles" was adopted. The test sample was clamped in the test sample holder and placed vertically inside the combustion cylinder. In the upward flow of oxygen and nitrogen gas, the upper end of the test sample was ignited, and its combustion characteristics were observed. The afterflame time or damage length was compared with the specified limit value. Through a series of tests at different oxygen concentrations, the lowest oxygen concentration value expressed as oxygen volume fraction for sustaining combustion can be determined. The samples corresponding to Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were washed 50 times. After washing, the flame retardant performance test was carried out again. The test method was the same as before washing.

[0098] (2) Air permeability test: The air permeability of the sample was measured using the Fraser method of ISO9237, and the measuring pressure was 125 Pa.

[0099] (3) Moisture absorption performance test: The samples were tested in accordance with the national standard GB / T 21655.1-2008 "Evaluation of moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of textiles - Part 1: Single combination test method";

[0100] The performance test results are shown in Table 1:

[0101] Table 1

[0102]

[0103] According to the test results in Table 1, the fabrics corresponding to Examples 1-4 have excellent flame-retardant properties. After 50 washes, they still maintain good flame-retardant efficacy, while also exhibiting good breathability and water absorption. The flame-retardant and heat-insulating layer of the protective fabric contains inorganic flame retardants such as nano-silica and graphene oxide, which have excellent heat-insulating and flame-retardant effects. The phosphorus and nitrogen elements contained in the organic flame retardant N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylenephosphonic acid diethyl ester both play a flame-retardant role during the combustion of the matrix. The cotton fibers in the comfort layer contain a large number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, making them soft and non-stiff against the skin and possessing excellent heat resistance. The protein fibers have excellent skin-friendliness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, making the protective fabric soft, comfortable, and highly breathable. In Comparative Example 1, no alkenyl-modified graphene oxide was added, resulting in a certain reduction in flame retardant performance, but with little impact on air permeability and moisture absorption. In Comparative Example 2, no polymerization reaction was carried out, and the flame retardant dispersion was obtained by direct mixing. After treating the base fabric, the dispersion was poor, which had a certain impact on air permeability and moisture absorption. Moreover, after multiple washings, the flame retardant was prone to falling off, and the flame retardant effect was greatly reduced.

All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
