Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wood modification and treatment technology, and specifically provides a method for preparing wood with both internal and external flame retardancy. Background Technology

[0002] Wood is a renewable and environmentally friendly material, widely used in building materials, furniture, and interior decoration due to its low price and ease of processing. However, wood is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, with C, H, and O as its main constituent elements. Wood is flammable, has poor fire resistance, and is highly susceptible to fire when exposed to fire or high temperatures.

[0003] Therefore, how to modify wood to be flame-retardant in order to improve its fire resistance has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing double-layered flame-retardant wood to solve the problem of poor fire resistance of wood.

[0005] This invention provides a method for preparing fire-retardant wood with both internal and external retardancy, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Dry the logs to obtain primary dried wood;

[0007] Step 2: The primary dried wood is sequentially soaked in deionized water, frozen, thawed, and dried to obtain secondary dried wood;

[0008] Step 3: Immerse the secondary dried wood in the impregnation solution and then dry the impregnated wood to obtain tertiary dried wood. The impregnation solution is a solution in which a flame retardant is dissolved in deionized water. The flame retardant is prepared by ammonium polyphosphate and borax in a mass ratio of 1 to 2.5:1. The flame retardant accounts for 5 to 12% of the mass of the impregnation solution.

[0009] Step 4: Apply the coating liquid to the surface of the three-time dried wood and dry it to obtain double flame-retardant wood, wherein the coating liquid is a melamine coating liquid with a mass fraction of 60-70%.

[0010] Preferably, in step 1, the drying temperature is 100–106°C and the drying time is 5–6 hours.

[0011] Further optimization involves soaking for 6-12 hours, freezing for 12-14 hours, and thawing for 8-10 hours in step 2.

[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, in step 2, the wood to be dried once is subjected to soaking in deionized water, freezing, thawing, and repeated multiple times before being dried again.

[0013] Further preferred, in step 2, the drying temperature is 100-106℃ and the drying time is 5-6 hours.

[0014] Further optimization involves, in step 3, water bath heating is performed during the impregnation process, with a water bath temperature of 55–65°C and an impregnation time of 12–14 hours.

[0015] Further optimization involves, in step 3, during the preparation of the impregnation solution, placing the flame retardant into deionized water, heating and stirring it in a water bath, wherein the water bath temperature is 75–85°C and the stirring time is 2–6 hours.

[0016] Further preferred, in step 3, the drying temperature is 100-106℃ and the drying time is 5-6 hours.

[0017] Further optimization involves using a drying temperature of 75–85°C and a drying time of 2–6 hours in step 4.

[0018] Further preferably, between step 3 and step 4, a step of subjecting the three-time dried wood to high-temperature heat treatment is included, wherein the high-temperature heat treatment temperature is 180-220°C and the high-temperature heat treatment time is 2-3 hours.

[0019] The present invention provides a method for preparing fire-retardant wood with both internal and external flame retardancy. It uses phosphorus-based flame retardants and boron-based flame retardants (ammonium polyphosphate and borax) to prepare an organic flame retardant, which is then impregnated into the wood to form a cross-linked structure. The wood surface is coated with a nitrogen-based flame retardant (melamine coating liquid) with low water solubility, which can form a synergistic effect of internal and external flame retardants, and finally obtain fire-retardant wood. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific implementation schemes, but this explanation does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0021] To improve the fire resistance of wood, this invention provides a method for preparing wood with both internal and external fire retardancy, comprising the following steps:

[0022] Step 1: Dry the logs to obtain primary dried wood;

[0023] Step 2: The primary dried wood is sequentially soaked in deionized water, frozen, thawed, and dried to obtain secondary dried wood;

[0024] Step 3: Immerse the secondary dried wood in the impregnation solution and then dry the impregnated wood to obtain tertiary dried wood. The impregnation solution is a solution in which a flame retardant is dissolved in deionized water. The flame retardant is prepared by ammonium polyphosphate and borax in a mass ratio of 1 to 2.5:1. The flame retardant accounts for 5 to 12% of the mass of the impregnation solution.

[0025] Step 4: Apply the coating liquid to the surface of the three-time dried wood and dry it to obtain double flame-retardant wood, wherein the coating liquid is a melamine coating liquid with a mass fraction of 60-70%.

[0026] The method for preparing this dual internal and external flame-retardant wood involves using phosphorus-based flame retardants and boron-based flame retardants (ammonium polyphosphate and borax) to prepare an organic flame retardant, which is then impregnated into the wood to form a cross-linked structure. The wood surface is then coated with a nitrogen-based flame retardant (melamine coating liquid) with low water solubility, which creates a synergistic effect of internal and external flame retardants, ultimately resulting in flame-retardant wood.

[0033] As an improvement to the technical solution, in step 3, the drying temperature is 100-106℃ and the drying time is 5-6 hours.

[0034] As an improvement to the technical solution, in step 4, the drying temperature is 75-85℃ and the drying time is 2-6 hours.

[0035] To further enhance the flame retardant properties of the wood, as an improvement to the technical solution, a step of subjecting the three-time dried wood to high-temperature heat treatment is included between step 3 and step 4. The high-temperature heat treatment temperature is 180-220°C, and the high-temperature heat treatment time is 2-3 hours.
