Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inorganic thermal insulation coatings, and in particular to an inorganic thermal insulation coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the global energy crisis and environmental pollution becoming increasingly prominent, energy conservation, emission reduction, and green buildings have become key priorities for social development. In the construction, industrial, and other fields, the use of thermal insulation materials plays a key role in improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption. While traditional organic and inorganic thermal insulation coatings can meet insulation needs to a certain extent, they each have significant shortcomings.
[0003] Organic insulation coatings, such as polystyrene foam boards, offer excellent insulation, but they suffer from poor fire resistance and flammability, posing safety risks. On the other hand, inorganic insulation coatings, such as rock wool and glass wool, while fire-resistant, offer relatively poor insulation performance. Furthermore, the coatings are thick, resulting in seams that can easily peel, poor adhesion, and poor water resistance. These shortcomings limit the application of traditional insulation coatings in energy-efficient buildings and complex industrial environments.
[0004] Deficiencies in the existing technology:
[0005] The contradiction between thermal insulation performance and safety: Traditional organic thermal insulation coatings have good thermal insulation effects but poor safety, while inorganic thermal insulation coatings are the opposite, and it is difficult to take both into account.
[0006] Difficulty in construction: The coating after construction of inorganic coatings is often thicker, with joints and easy to fall off, which not only affects the thermal insulation effect, but also brings difficulties to construction.
[0007] Insufficient water resistance and adhesion: Traditional inorganic thermal insulation coatings perform poorly in water resistance and adhesion, limiting their scope of application.

They work synergistically to effectively reduce heat transfer and provide excellent thermal insulation effect; nano-carbon fibers and metal oxide nanowires form a continuous thermal conductive network in the coating. The high thermal conductivity of these nanomaterials can quickly disperse the heat stored or released by the phase change material into the entire coating layer; the phase change material is encapsulated through microencapsulation technology and can absorb or release heat when the temperature changes, thereby slowing down the fluctuation of ambient temperature. This dynamic temperature regulation ability works synergistically with the thermal conductive network of the nanomaterial to enhance the thermal stability and energy-saving effect of the coating.

[0149] Comparative Example 4
[0150] An inorganic thermal insulation coating and a preparation method thereof are basically the same as those of Example 4, except that the use of the flame retardant is eliminated.
[0151] The inorganic thermal insulation coatings prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were tested, and the test standards were as follows:
[0152] Basic performance testing standards for inorganic coatings
[0153] GB / T 9756-2018: General Technical Requirements for Interior Wall Paints. This standard specifies the basic requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, and storage for interior wall paints. For thermal insulation coatings, the test methods for properties such as water resistance, alkali resistance, and scrub resistance can be referenced.
[0154] Thermal insulation material testing standards
[0155] GB / T 10294-2008: Insulating materials - Determination of steady-state thermal resistance and related properties - Guarded hot plate method, applicable to the determination of thermal resistance and thermal conductivity of materials under steady-state conditions.
[0156] GB / T 8811-2008: Test method for dimensional stability of rigid foam plastics, which can be used to evaluate the dimensional stability of thermal insulation coatings.
[0157] Fire performance testing standards
[0158] GB 8624-2012: Classification of combustion performance of building materials and products. For inorganic thermal insulation coatings, fire resistance is an important testing indicator.
[0159] The results are shown in Table 1:
[0160] Table 1
[0161]
[0162]
[0163] Through the above Table 1, it can be directly determined that in Examples 1 to 4, the thermal conductivity is about 0.032W / (m·K), the thermal insulation performance is good, and the water resistance of all embodiments is excellent, and no abnormalities are found after 288 hours of testing. This shows that these four embodiments are stable and reliable in water resistance. The fire protection grade of all embodiments is Class A, indicating that they have achieved the same high standard in fire resistance. The adhesion of all embodiments is 1.6MPa, indicating that these four embodiments are consistent in the adhesion ability between the coating and the substrate, and all perform excellently;
[0164] Reference Figure 1-3The thermal conductivity of Example 5 decreased compared to Example 4, from 0.032 W / (m·K) to 0.028 W / (m·K). This indicates that the coating's thermal insulation properties have been significantly improved through magnetic or conductive treatment and the linear arrangement of hollow microspheres. This reduction in thermal conductivity means the coating transfers less heat at the same temperature difference, resulting in better insulation.
[0165] The water resistance test time of Example 5 was extended from 288 hours in Example 4 to 336 hours without any abnormality, indicating that the water resistance of the coating has been enhanced. This is because the linearly arranged hollow microspheres have a more compact structure and can better resist water penetration.
[0166] The fire retardancy of Examples 4 and 5 is maintained at Class A, indicating that the magnetic or conductive treatment and the linear arrangement of the hollow microspheres have no negative impact on the fire retardancy of the coating.
[0167] The adhesion of Example 5 is improved compared to Example 4, increasing from 1.6 MPa to 1.7 MPa. This is because the contact between the linearly arranged hollow microspheres and the substrate is more uniform and close, thereby enhancing the adhesion of the coating.
[0168] In Example 4 and Comparative Example 1, where all other conditions are the same, Comparative Example 1 removes the hollow microspheres and their use in the preparation method. After final testing, the thermal conductivity of Example 4 is 0.032W / (m·K), while the thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 1 is 0.045W / (m·K). The thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 1 is higher, indicating that its thermal insulation performance is relatively poor and it transfers more heat. Example 4 showed no abnormalities after 288 hours of water resistance testing, while Comparative Example 1 showed blistering after 144 hours. This shows that the water resistance of Example 4 is significantly better than that of Comparative Example 1. The fire resistance grade of Example 4 is A, while the fire resistance grade of Comparative Example 1 is B1. Class A fire resistance is better than Class B1, indicating that Example 4 performs better in fire protection. The adhesion of Example 4 is 1.6MPa, while the adhesion of Comparative Example 1 is 1.3MPa. The adhesion of Example 4 is higher, indicating that its bonding with the substrate is more solid.
[0169] Comparative Example 2 removes the phase change material and polymer monomers, and removes the use of microcapsules in the preparation method of the two. In the comparative analysis of the data of Example 4 and Comparative Example 2, the thermal conductivity of Example 4 is 0.032W / (m·K), while the thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 2 is 0.038W / (m·K). The thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 2 is slightly higher, but the difference is not large, indicating that the two are similar in thermal insulation performance. Example 4 showed no abnormalities after 288 hours of water resistance testing, while Comparative Example 2 showed no abnormalities after 272 hours. Although Comparative Example 2 also showed good water resistance, Example 4 had a longer water resistance time and a slight advantage. Both are Class A, indicating that the two are equivalent in fire resistance. The adhesion of Example 4 is 1.6MPa, while the adhesion of Comparative Example 2 is 1.4MPa. The adhesion of Example 4 is slightly higher, but the difference with Comparative Example 2 is not large.
[0170] In Comparative Example 3, the carbon nanofibers and metal oxide nanowires were removed. The thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 3 was 0.040W / (m·K), and the thermal conductivity of Example 4 was 0.032W / (m·K). The thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 3 is higher, indicating that its thermal insulation performance is relatively poor; Example 4 showed no abnormalities after 288 hours of water resistance test, while Comparative Example 3 showed peeling after 216 hours. This shows that the water resistance of Example 4 is significantly better than that of Comparative Example 3; both are Class A, indicating that the two are equivalent in terms of fire resistance; the adhesion of Example 4 is 1.6MPa, while the adhesion of Comparative Example 3 is 1.2MPa. The adhesion of Example 4 is higher, indicating that its bond with the substrate is more solid.
[0171] In Comparative Example 4, the use of flame retardants was eliminated, and its thermal conductivity after testing was 0.035W / (m·K). The thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 4 is slightly higher, but the difference is not large, indicating that the two are similar in thermal insulation performance; Example 4 has no abnormalities after 288 hours of water resistance testing, while Comparative Example 4 has no abnormalities after 268 hours. Although Comparative Example 4 also shows good water resistance, Example 4 has a longer water resistance time, which is slightly superior; Example 4 has a fire rating of A, while Comparative Example 4 has a fire rating of B2. Class A fire resistance is better than Class B2, indicating that Example 4 performs better in fire protection; Example 4 has an adhesion of 1.6MPa, while Comparative Example 4 has an adhesion of 1.5MPa. The adhesion of Example 4 is slightly higher, but the difference from Comparative Example 4 is not large.
[0172] In summary, Example 4 exhibited superior or comparable performance to Comparative Examples 1 through 4 in key performance indicators such as thermal conductivity, water resistance, fire rating, and adhesion. In particular, Example 4 significantly outperformed some of the comparative examples in terms of water resistance and fire rating. These results demonstrate that the inorganic thermal insulation coating of Example 4 possesses superior overall performance.
[0173] In the present invention, modified silicate is used as the base material, and is modified through ultrasonic reaction to improve the thermal stability and dispersibility of the silicate. Hollow microspheres are introduced as the main thermal insulation filler, and their low thermal conductivity and lightweight properties are used to improve the thermal insulation performance of the coating. Phase change materials (such as paraffin, fatty acids, etc.) are added and encapsulated through microencapsulation technology to absorb or release heat at a specific temperature to stabilize temperature fluctuations. Combined with thermal conductive network materials such as nano-carbon fibers and metal oxide nanowires, local heat is quickly dispersed to prevent overheating. Inorganic polymer gelling materials are used as binders to ensure the stability and durability of the coating. Flame retardants are added to improve the fire rating of the coating, and the flame retardant effect is optimized through compounding technology.
[0174] Furthermore, modified silicate powder is prepared through ultrasonic reaction and meticulous filtration, washing, and drying steps. Hollow microspheres are surface-grafted and secondary coated to enhance their dispersibility and binding to the base material. Phase-change microcapsules are prepared using electrospray technology to ensure the stability and uniform distribution of the phase-change material in the coating. The base slurry is prepared in a high-speed disperser, and ultrasonic dispersion and high-speed stirring are used to ensure uniform dispersion of the nanocomponents. Phase-change microcapsules and hollow microspheres are added under specific conditions to avoid disrupting their structure and ensure uniform distribution in the slurry.
[0175] The fifth embodiment is further innovative in that the hollow microspheres are treated to be magnetic or conductive and an external magnetic field or electric field is used to guide them to be arranged linearly in the coating to form an ordered thermal insulation layer, thereby significantly improving the thermal insulation performance.
[0176] Through the synergistic effect of modified silicates, hollow microspheres, phase change materials and nano-thermal conductive networks, the thermal conductivity of the coating is significantly reduced, and the thermal insulation performance is excellent. The linear arrangement of hollow microspheres in Example 5 further enhances the thermal insulation effect. Through sophisticated preparation technology and formula design, the coating exhibits excellent water resistance and can maintain stable performance for a long time. At the same time, the use of inorganic polymer gelling materials also improves the durability of the coating. The addition of phosphorus or nitrogen flame retardants, combined with compounding technology, enables the coating to achieve a higher fire protection level, ensuring safe use.
[0177] Through a rational formulation and preparation process, the coating achieves strong adhesion to the substrate, facilitates application, and is readily applicable. The use of inorganic materials reduces harmful emissions, complying with environmental requirements. Furthermore, the excellent thermal insulation properties help reduce energy consumption and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. The magnetic or conductive treatment and linear arrangement of hollow microspheres bring new ideas and methods to the field of inorganic thermal insulation coatings, demonstrating significant innovation and application prospects.
[0178] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
