Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, specifically to a flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, polystyrene particle-containing insulation boards are widely used in building exterior wall insulation materials due to their economic efficiency and low water absorption. However, due to polystyrene's insufficient toughness, its impact strength and other mechanical properties cannot meet market demands. Furthermore, polystyrene has drawbacks such as high smoke production and flammability, posing a safety hazard when exposed to open flames, and significantly threatening people's lives and property. This limits its application in building materials. Therefore, to improve the flame retardant properties and impact strength of polystyrene insulation boards, polystyrene needs to be modified. Currently, the commonly used flame retardants in flame-retardant polystyrene are mainly halogenated flame retardants, including decabromodiphenyl ether, tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBA), and hexabromododecane (HBCD). These flame retardants produce large amounts of toxic gases when burning, which is inconsistent with the environmentally friendly development trend of building materials. Therefore, developing halogen-free polystyrene insulation boards with excellent flame retardant effects and mechanical properties has become a research hotspot. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention proposes a flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board and its preparation method, which solves the problem of poor flame retardancy and strength of polystyrene composite insulation boards in related technologies.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] The polystyrene particles comprise the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts polystyrene, 10-15 parts flame retardant, and 0.2-0.4 parts antioxidant;

[0007] The flame retardant includes potassium 3-benzenesulfonylbenzenesulfonate, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc borate.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of potassium 3-benzenesulfonylbenzenesulfonate, magnesium hydroxide and zinc borate is 1:7:2~3:6:1.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of potassium 3-benzenesulfonylbenzenesulfonate, magnesium hydroxide and zinc borate is 2:5:3.

[0010] In this invention, by adjusting the mass ratio of potassium 3-benzenesulfonylbenzenesulfonate, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc borate in the polystyrene particles to 1:7:2~3:6:1, the flame retardancy and strength of the flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board are further improved. In particular, when the mass ratio of potassium 3-benzenesulfonylbenzenesulfonate, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc borate is 2:5:3, the strength of the insulation board is optimal.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the flame retardant is a polyphenylene ether modified flame retardant.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the polyphenylene ether modified flame retardant includes the following steps: ultrasonically dispersing potassium 3-benzenesulfonylbenzenesulfonate, magnesium hydroxide and zinc borate in a polyphenylene ether solution, removing the solvent, and obtaining the polyphenylene ether modified flame retardant.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the polyphenylene ether solution includes polyphenylene ether and a solvent, wherein the solvent is one of N-methylpyrrolidone and acetone.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the polyphenylene ether is two of polyphenylene ether LXR35, polyphenylene ether LXR40, and polyphenylene ether LXR45.

[0015] As a further technical solution, when the polyphenylene ether is polyphenylene ether LXR35 and polyphenylene ether LXR40, the mass ratio of polyphenylene ether LXR35 to polyphenylene ether LXR40 is 2:8.

[0016] In this invention, by using polyphenylene ether modified flame retardant, the dispersibility of the flame retardant in the polystyrene matrix is ​​improved, and the impact resistance of polystyrene is also improved, further enhancing the strength of the flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board. In particular, when the mass ratio of polyphenylene ether LXR35 to polyphenylene ether LXR40 is 2:8, the modified flame retardant further enhances the strength of the flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the dispersible latex powder is one of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl acetate-ethylene tert-carbonate copolymer, and acrylic acid copolymer; the antioxidant is one or more of antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 168, and antioxidant 1024.

[0018] This invention also proposes a method for preparing the flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1. Mix the components of the polystyrene granules, extrude and granulate to obtain polystyrene granules;

[0020] S2. The remaining components of the polystyrene granules and polystyrene composite insulation board are molded to obtain the polystyrene composite insulation board.

[0022] 1. In this invention, potassium 3-benzenesulfonylbenzenesulfonate, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc borate are added to the polystyrene particles of the flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board. The three substances work synergistically to retard the flame, reduce the flammability of polystyrene, and significantly improve the flame retardancy and strength of the flame-retardant polystyrene composite insulation board.
