Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and specifically relates to a polymer polyol and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polymer polyol (POP) is prepared by in-situ polymerization of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in polyether polyol in the presence of a free radical polymerization initiator. It is a mixture of polyether polyol, grafted polyether polyol, self-polymer or copolymer of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, etc. Polymer polyol is widely used in the preparation of high-resilience, high-load polyurethane soft, semi-rigid foam plastics and elastomers. Due to the effect of polymer particles in polymer polyol, the performance of polyurethane foam can be improved, especially the hardness and load bearing capacity. However, due to the presence of polymer particles, the original foam pore wall is destroyed, so that the tear and tensile strength of polyurethane foam are affected.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, people have conducted a lot of research work. CN109762117 relates to a method for synthesizing polymer polyether polyols. The method is prepared by a two-step method. First, a polymer polyether polyol prepolymer is prepared, wherein the polymer polyether polyol prepolymer is composed of a top material and a bottom material, and the mass ratio of the top material to the bottom material is 2:1-6:1; second, a polymer polyether polyol is synthesized, wherein the polymer polyether polyol is composed of a top material and a bottom material, and the mass ratio of the top material to the bottom material is 2:1-6:1. The polymer polyether polyol residue mass content prepared by this method is less than 0.008‰, and the viscosity is 4000-5000mPa.s. When it is used for high-resilience sponge, the elongation at break of the product is greater than that of similar products, but the depression hardness is lower.

[0004] CN110437398 relates to a method for preparing polymer polyether polyol by continuous dispersion polymerization process, which adopts a copolymer of poly(meth)acrylic acid polyether ester containing dithiocarboxylate groups as a stabilizer, and continuously injects a monomer liquid prepared by vinyl monomer and polyether polyol; and an initiator liquid prepared by polyether polyol and initiator (the stabilizer is configured in the monomer liquid and / or the initiator liquid) into a stirred reactor with a set reaction temperature in proportion, and maintains a certain residence time; the outflowing reaction liquid enters a maturation reactor, and continuously injects an initiator solution, and maintains a certain residence time; the reaction liquid is removed from the vacuum reactor to remove residual monomers, and the product POP is obtained. The POP product prepared by this method has the characteristics of high solid content and low viscosity, and the polymerization process and the product POP have good stability and reproducibility; but it has no obvious enhancement effect on the compression limit hardness, tear strength and tensile strength of the polyurethane product.

[0005] The polymer polyol product obtained by the invention has a polyurethane elastomer product prepared with the polymer polyol product, which has not only good resilience and hardness, but also high tear strength and tensile strength. Summary of the invention
