Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of foam materials, and in particular to a polyurethane foam and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The sound insulation pads and carpets used in the front of the passenger compartment of the car interior are generally required to have sound absorption and insulation performance and environmental friendliness. In order to achieve good sound absorption and insulation performance, the material of the sound insulation pad is generally a combination of a hard layer and a soft layer. The hard layer mainly plays a sound insulation role, and the soft layer mainly plays a sound absorption role. The soft layer plays a key role in the sound absorption and insulation of the parts. When selecting materials, it is generally required that the material is porous and can fit well with the sheet metal. At present, one of the commonly used materials for the soft layer is polyurethane foam.

[0003] At present, the main preparation process of polyurethane foam for automobile sound insulation pads is the closed mold foaming process. Traditional polyurethane soft foam has a high odor, and polyurethane materials will produce a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) during the closed mold foaming process. At the same time, this type of automobile sound insulation pad parts often have the disadvantages of complex structure and varying thickness. Due to the production requirements of sound insulation pads, it is necessary to improve the fluidity, filling and environmental friendliness of the foaming formula of polyurethane materials. However, the requirements for improving fluidity and filling will undoubtedly further increase the odor and VOC content of polyurethane.

[0004] At present, the polyurethane materials related to automobiles include: (1) polyurethane materials using acid-terminated catalysts. The acid-terminated catalysts do not catalyze at the first time, which improves the fluidity of the polyurethane material formula, so that the "end" shape of the polyurethane product can be quickly filled. When the acid-terminated catalyst is affected by the mold temperature and the acid-terminated catalyst is released, it will quickly start and solidify to complete the foaming reaction, playing a role of rapid filling and foaming; (2) using rapeseed oil to prepare rigid polyurethane foam materials, which mainly solves the problem that the existing rigid polyurethane foam plastics rely on petroleum as raw materials, and instead uses vegetable oil for deep processing to synthesize bio-based polyols, thereby preparing rigid polyurethane foam; (3) using 5-chloromethyl salicylaldehyde as a raw material, and then reacting with quaternary ammonium salts of hydroxy tertiary amines and diprimary amines to prepare polyols containing quaternary ammonium cations and Salen functional groups in the molecular structure, and then using the polyols to prepare functional polyurethanes; (4) using high-functionality polyether polyols and high-viscosity modified polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanates to prepare polyurethane foams, the density of which is greater than 60kg / m 3 , and it also has the advantage of ultra-low temperature resistance, so it can be used for pipeline insulation.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the catalyst comprises at least one of the following:

[0169] Related experiments and effect data:

[0170] The odor and VOC content of the polyurethane foam obtained in each embodiment and comparative example were analyzed, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0171] Table 1 Odor and VOC content data of polyurethane foam obtained in various examples and comparative examples

[0172]

[0173]

[0174] As can be seen from Table 1, the polyurethane foam provided in the embodiment of the present application has a VOC content better than that of the polyurethane foam obtained in the comparative example, and can significantly reduce the volatility of amines in the polyurethane foam, which is beneficial to reducing the irritating amine odor of the polyurethane foam.

[0175] The polyurethane foams obtained in various embodiments were statistically analyzed for performance testing, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0176] Table 2 Polyurethane foam performance data obtained from each embodiment

[0177]

[0178] It can be seen from Table 2 that the polyurethane foam provided in the embodiment of the present application has better material fluidity, higher tear strength and better resilience than the polyurethane foam obtained in the comparative example, and the polyurethane foam obtained in the embodiment has the best indicators.

[0179] In summary, the polyurethane foam provided in the embodiment of the present application can promote the hydroxyl group of the active polyester polyol and the isocyanate group of the diurethane modified isocyanate to fully react chemically, so as to avoid the isocyanate group of the diurethane modified isocyanate from generating free amine substances in the polyurethane foam, thereby reducing the residual amine substances in the polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam with reduced amine content has lower odor. In addition, the active fiber adsorbent can adsorb the volatile organic small molecules generated in the chemical reaction of the active polyester polyol and the diurethane modified isocyanate, thereby reducing the content of volatile organic compounds in the polyurethane foam. Further, the odor and the content of volatile organic compounds in the polyurethane foam can be effectively reduced by the active polyester polyol, the diurethane modified isocyanate and the active fiber adsorbent.

[0180] Furthermore, in a polyurethane foam provided in an embodiment of the present application, an activated carbon fiber adsorbent is added into the polyurethane foam, and the large specific surface area and a large number of microporous structures of the activated carbon fiber adsorbent can be fully utilized to adsorb residual small molecule products and free monomers in the polyurethane foam. In addition, since the pore size of the activated carbon fiber adsorbent is small and it is monodisperse, the activated carbon fiber adsorbent can increase the gravitational force of the gas molecules entering the micropores of the polyurethane foam radiating inward from the pore wall, thereby promoting the extremely strong adsorption force of the activated carbon fiber adsorbent, and further can greatly improve the odor and VOC content of the polyurethane foam.

[0181] In addition, a polyurethane foam provided in an embodiment of the present application also uses an active polyester polyol having more than three active hydroxyl groups, which can enable the active polyester polyol to have a sufficient amount of hydroxyl groups. The sufficient amount of hydroxyl groups can quickly react with the isocyanate groups of the diurethane-modified isocyanate, thereby improving the reaction efficiency and reducing the residual amount of isocyanate groups, thereby effectively reducing the odor of the polyurethane foam.

[0182] In addition, the polyurethane foam provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to sound insulation products used in passenger compartments of various types of vehicles, such as sound insulation pads, sound insulation walls, etc.

[0183] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, so that those skilled in the art can understand or implement the present application. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications to these embodiments are possible, and the general principles defined in the present application can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown in the present application, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features applied for by the present application.
