Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fiberboard production technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing fiberboard suitable for ultrafluid electrostatic powder coating process. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional electrostatic powder coating for fiberboard involves pre-sealing the edges and top and bottom surfaces of the board, then spraying powder coating, followed by heating and curing at a specific temperature using infrared radiation, typically 110–130℃, to form the desired finished board. With rising living standards and aesthetic preferences, higher demands are being placed on the surface finish of the coated boards, such as a smoother and flatter surface. To meet these increasing customer needs, ultra-leveling electrostatic powder coating technology has emerged. This technology utilizes higher curing temperatures, reaching 130–150℃. This high temperature accelerates both the spreading and curing of the powder coating, thereby enhancing surface smoothness and increasing production speed. Increasing the heating and curing temperature will greatly increase the degree of heat exposure of the board itself during the heating and curing process. The moisture inside the board will escape more quickly during the heating process, causing an impact on the inside of the board and resulting in cracking after powder coating. Therefore, solving the cracking problem of the board during the ultra-fluid electrostatic powder coating process has become increasingly important. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention discloses a method for preparing fiberboard suitable for ultra-fluid leveling powder coating process, solving the problem that the fiberboard is prone to cracking after powder coating when the fiberboard undergoes ultra-fluid leveling process.

[0004] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for preparing fiberboard suitable for ultrafluid static electro-powder coating process includes the following steps:

[0006] (1) Eucalyptus and miscellaneous wood are used as timber raw materials, and the weight ratio of eucalyptus to miscellaneous wood is (3-4):(6-7); after processing the timber raw materials, fibers are obtained, in which fibers with a diameter ≤0.06mm account for 5-20% of the total weight, fibers with a diameter of 0.06-0.125mm account for 25-40% of the total weight, fibers with a diameter of 0.125-1mm account for 40-70% of the total weight, and fibers with a diameter >1mm account for 0.1-0.3% of the total weight;

[0007] When the fiber thickness of the board is not uniform, coarse fibers will affect the smoothness of the board surface. Uneven fiber thickness will cause water to escape in a disordered way during heating, resulting in uneven internal pressure and cracking at the weak points of the board. Therefore, this invention adjusts the proportion of fibers with different diameters to make the coarse and fine fibers evenly matched, thus avoiding the above problems.

[0008] (2) Apply sizing to the fibers obtained in step (1) at a rate of 290–300 kg / m³. 3 The adhesive used for sizing is urea-formaldehyde resin. After drying the fibers, they are laid out and molded to obtain a fiberboard blank.

[0009] (3) Take the fiberboard blank obtained in step (2) and perform a hot pressing process to obtain a board. The density of the board is controlled at 820-840 kg / m³. 3 The core layer accounts for more than 90% of the total content and the density at the lowest point of the core layer is greater than 730 kg / m³. 3 The press pressure in the hot pressing process is 0.17–1.6 N / mm. 2 The speed is 135-235 mm / s, and a cyclic hot pressing method is adopted. The hot pressing temperature in the first to third cycles is 220-245℃. In the first area, the stability is raised as much as possible to transfer heat to the inside of the board more effectively. The hot pressing temperature in the fourth to sixth cycles is 195-235℃. Under the premise of ensuring heat transfer, the adhesive is gradually cured to obtain the pressed board.

[0010] By using an appropriate board density, the fiber compactness can be increased without increasing the difficulty of subsequent fiberboard milling. The density at the lowest point of the core layer should be controlled to be greater than 730 kg / m³. 3 This ensures that there are no weak points in the overall core layer;

[0011] (4) After cooling the board material that has undergone the hot pressing process in step (3), stack the board material for curing, and then obtain fiberboard suitable for superfluid electrostatic powder coating process by conventional sanding and sawing.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (1), the mixed wood includes large-leaved oak, tung tree and jasmine.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (4), after cooling the board to below 40°C, the board is stacked and stored for 48-72 hours to obtain a fiberboard suitable for the ultrafluid static electro-powder coating process. In the board cooling process, after the board comes out of the press, it is cooled sufficiently by the combined action of multiple flip-plate cooling wheels and a three-dimensional forced convection cooling system, ensuring that the average temperature is reduced to below 40°C before curing, preventing strength degradation due to insufficient dissipation of residual heat. In the curing and storage process, the board is stacked and stored, with a curing period between 48 and 72 hours. This allows for the full release of stress within the board, enabling the components to reach a stable and balanced state; secondly, because the temperature drop in the middle of the board is not significant during stacking, a suitable curing time is ensured to minimize the degradation effect of residual heat on the board.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (2), the urea-formaldehyde resin is a melamine-modified urea-formaldehyde resin, and its preparation method includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. Weigh out formaldehyde, urea, melamine, and polyvinyl alcohol according to the following proportions; the weight of melamine accounts for 3-8% of the total weight of urea-formaldehyde resin, the molar ratio of formaldehyde to the sum of urea and melamine is 0.85-0.95, and the weight of polyvinyl alcohol accounts for 1-5% of the total weight of urea-formaldehyde resin;

[0016] S2. Place formaldehyde in a reaction vessel, add caustic soda solution to adjust the pH value to 6.5-7.5, then add melamine and stir for 15-25 minutes. Then heat to 60°C and measure the pH value. When the pH value is 6.0-7.0, raise the temperature to 65°C and add urea, with the molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea controlled at 2.0-2.5 to obtain mixture A.

[0017] S3. Take the mixture A obtained in step S2, heat it to 85-90℃ and keep it at that temperature for 20 minutes. Then add formic acid solution to adjust the pH value to 5.5-6.5. Check the pH value and viscosity value every 5-10 minutes (using a viscosity cup). When the viscosity reaches 18-20 seconds, add caustic soda solution to adjust the pH value to 6.5-7.5. Then add urea and control the molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea to be 1.6-1.7. Then stir the reaction at 80-85℃. Check the pH value and viscosity value every 5-10 minutes (using a viscosity cup). When the viscosity reaches 20-22 seconds, obtain mixture B.

[0018] S4. Take the mixture B obtained in step S3, add caustic soda solution to adjust the pH value to 7.0-8.0, then add urea and control the molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea to be 0.90-1.05. After stirring for 10-20 minutes, add polyvinyl alcohol to react and obtain mixture C.

[0019] The addition of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) not only allows it to react with free formaldehyde to form a six-membered ring structure of PVA formal, which is resistant to moisture and impact, but also, because PVA molecules contain polar hydroxyl groups, PVA can cross-link with polar plant fibers through hydrogen bonds to form a denser network structure. This enhances the bonding strength between the adhesive and the fiber, thus solving the problem of insufficient board strength and cracking caused by moisture loss during the high-temperature baking process in super-leveling coating. Furthermore, it also addresses the issue of boards easily absorbing moisture from the air when exposed to air, reducing the risk of cracking during super-leveling coating.

[0020] S5. Take the mixture C obtained in step S4 and cool it to 45°C. Then add caustic soda solution to adjust the pH value to 8.0-8.5. Then cool it to below 40°C and when the viscosity is 16-20s and the solid content is 55.0-58.0%, the melamine-modified urea-formaldehyde resin is obtained.

[0021] Furthermore, the concentration of the caustic soda solution is 25% to 35%, and the concentration of the formic acid solution is 15% to 20%.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S4, after adding polyvinyl alcohol, the mixture is reacted for 15-30 minutes to obtain mixture C.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. The fiberboard prepared by the method of the present invention is conducive to milling. After milling, the board surface has good flatness, which makes the paint surface smooth and flat after the board is sprayed with the super leveling process.

[0025] 2. The method of the present invention improves the moisture resistance of the board, enabling the board to be used normally in environments with high humidity, thereby improving the stability of the product.

[0026] 3. The fiberboard prepared by the method of the present invention can meet the requirements of electrostatic powder coating with super-leveling process under high temperature conditions, which greatly improves the production efficiency of electrostatic powder coating, reduces the risk of product cracking, and improves product quality.
