Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pipes, and in particular relates to a PPR pipe and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] During long-term use, the metal pipes of fire-fighting pipes are prone to corrosion, especially in humid and highly corrosive environments, which can cause the pipe walls to become thinner, perforated, or even leak, affecting the normal operation of the pipe system and causing the sprinkler system to be unable to work effectively when needed, thus posing potential hazards to the fire-fighting system.

[0003] PPR (random copolymer polypropylene) pipes have many advantages such as corrosion resistance, high pressure resistance, long life, easy installation and maintenance, and low construction cost. However, PPR itself has insufficient flame retardancy and is easy to burn when exposed to fire, which is very prone to fire. Although its flame retardancy can be increased by adding a small amount of traditional halogen flame retardants, the presence of halogen flame retardants will cause smoke of toxic gases such as hydrogen halides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide to be produced when it burns, which not only affects the smooth progress of disaster relief work, but also causes a "second disaster" to life and property. With the continuous improvement of global environmental awareness, halogen-free flame retardant materials have gradually become recognized environmentally friendly materials and have been used more and more widely. However, a large amount of halogen-free materials must be added to obtain good flame retardancy. The compatibility of halogen-free materials with substrates is poor, which will significantly affect the strength, pressure resistance and other mechanical properties of the material itself, which is not conducive to the practical application and promotion of PPR flame retardant pipe products. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problem that the halogen-free flame-retardant PPR pipes involved in the above-mentioned prior art cannot have both good flame retardancy and mechanical properties, the present invention will provide a PPR pipe and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the following technical solutions are specifically included:

[0006] On the one hand, the present invention provides a PPR pipe material, which includes an antibacterial layer, a fiber reinforcement layer, and a flame retardant layer from the inside to the outside;

[0007] The antibacterial layer comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of random copolymer polypropylene and 2-4 parts of antibacterial agent;

[0008] The fiber reinforcement layer comprises the following components in parts by weight: 60-80 parts of random copolymer polypropylene, 20-30 parts of fiber, 5-10 parts of compatibilizer, 0.1-1 parts of antioxidant, and 3-15 parts of silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler;

[0009] The flame retardant layer comprises the following components in parts by weight: 60-80 parts of random copolymer polypropylene, 10-15 parts of halogen-free flame retardant, 5-10 parts of compatibilizer, 5-20 parts of silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler, and 0.1-1 parts of antioxidant;

[0010] In the silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler of the fiber reinforced layer and the flame retardant layer, the inorganic filler includes layered hydrotalcite, hexagonal boron nitride and modified active silicon powder.

[0011] PPR pipes have an internal hollow structure. From the inside to the outside, the pipes include an inner layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer, which correspond to the antibacterial layer, the fiber-reinforced layer, and the flame-retardant layer, respectively. All three layers use random copolymer polypropylene as the base resin, and corresponding additives are added to achieve their specific functions. Among them, antibacterial agents are added to the inner layer of the pipe to effectively prevent bacterial growth and ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of the pipe; the addition of fibers in the fiber layer not only reduces the linear expansion coefficient of the pipe and improves the mechanical properties of the pipe, but also improves the flame retardant ability of the pipe; the addition of halogen-free flame retardants in the flame retardant layer can increase its flame retardant properties. In particular, the PPR pipe of the present invention has added silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler in both the fiber reinforcement layer and the flame retardant layer, which can have good dispersibility in the resin matrix and play a lubricating and flame retardant role: on the one hand, the layered hydrotalcite and hexagonal boron nitride are both lamellar structures, which are easy to peel and slip between layers when external force is applied, and therefore have a lubricating effect, can greatly reduce the friction coefficient in the system, improve melt fluidity and formability, avoid polymer decomposition caused by high shear heat due to the addition of flame retardants or fibers, reduce processing costs, and have a unique lamellar structure; at the same time, the surface of the modified active silicon powder has an organic system affinity group, which can improve compatibility with the resin and has The internal lubrication performance improves the processing performance between the components, and the modified silicon micropowder has increased cross-linking, which can further increase the wear resistance of the pipe; the layered hydrotalcite, hexagonal boron nitride and modified active silicon micropowder are combined as a whole inorganic filler, which cooperate with each other to synergistically improve the appearance and wear resistance of the pipe; on the other hand, the layered hydrotalcite and boron nitride nanosheets absorb a large amount of heat during the flame retardant process, which is beneficial to reduce the high temperature generated during combustion, and can be used as a halogen-free high smoke suppression synergist. At the same time, the lamellar structure has a flame retardant effect, which inhibits the volatilization of combustibles during the decomposition of the polymer and prevents the entry of external oxygen. At the same time, it is compounded with halogen-free flame retardants and has excellent flame retardant effects.

[0080]

[0081] Table 3 Flame retardant layer (parts by weight)

[0082]

[0083] The PPR pipes prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to the following performance tests:

[0084] (1) Mechanical strength (MPa): tested according to GB / T 8804;

[0085] (2) Oxygen index: tested according to GB / T 2406-1993;

[0086] (3) Flame retardant grade: tested in accordance with the requirements of GB8624-2012, the flame retardant grades are divided into A, B1, B2, and B3, and the flame retardant performance decreases in sequence;

[0087] (4) Pipe bursting pressure (MPa): Tested according to GB / T 18742.2-2017, where pipe specifications are indicated as: d n 20×e n 3.4, the test time is 1h, the test temperature is 22℃;

[0090] The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0091] Table 4

[0092]

[0093] Compared with the above-mentioned Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, there is no filler in Comparative Example 1, but it contains the same total weight of filler and flame retardant as in Example 1; in Comparative Example 2, both the fiber reinforcement layer and the flame retardant layer lack silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler, and PP is used to make up the number. It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that when a certain amount of flame retardant already exists in the PPR pipe, the flame retardant is only added on this basis. Due to the poor compatibility between the flame retardant and the matrix, the flame retardant effect does not continue to increase, and it will also cause the mechanical strength and the bursting pressure of the pipe to decrease. Combining the analysis of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that adding silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler to the PPR pipe can not only significantly increase the flame retardant performance, but also significantly improve the mechanical strength and the bursting pressure of the pipe. It can be seen that the PPR pipe of the present invention has added silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler in both the fiber reinforcement layer and the flame retardant layer, which can have good dispersibility in the resin matrix and also have lubricating and flame retardant effects, so that the PPR pipe can have good mechanical strength, compressive resistance and flame retardant properties.

[0094] Compared with Comparative Examples 2-5, in Example 1, both the fiber-reinforced layer and the flame-retardant layer lack silane coupling agent-modified inorganic fillers in Comparative Example 2, and PP is used to make up the number of parts; in Comparative Examples 3-5, the fillers of the fiber-reinforced layer and the flame-retardant layer lack one of the layered hydrotalcite, hexagonal boron nitride and modified active silicon micropowder. In the silane coupling agent-modified inorganic filler of the present invention, the layered hydrotalcite, hexagonal boron nitride and modified active silicon micropowder work synergistically, and the whole has good dispersibility in the resin matrix, plays a lubricating and flame-retardant role, and can significantly improve the mechanical strength, compressive resistance and flame-retardant properties of the PPR pipe.

[0095] It can be seen from Examples 1-5 that, compared with Example 1, Example 2 replaces 5 parts of flame retardant in the flame retardant layer with silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler, and Example 3 replaces 5 parts of silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler in the flame retardant layer with flame retardant; Example 4 adds 10 parts of basalt fiber and 5 parts of silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler to the fiber reinforced layer, and Example 5 adds 5 parts of silane coupling agent to the fiber reinforced layer. It can be seen that the silane coupling agent modified inorganic filler of the present invention has a better effect than the traditional flame retardant, which not only improves the mechanical properties of the pipe, but also improves the flame retardant properties of the pipe.

[0096] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
