Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of filter materials, and in particular to an ultra-low resistance high efficiency air filter material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Air filter material is a filter material used to filter aerosols and dust particles in the air. It is mainly used in household air-conditioning systems, HVAC systems and mobile transportation air-conditioning systems. The air filter materials in the current prior art mainly use electrostatic cotton and electret melt-blown non-woven fabrics as filter layers, among which electrostatic cotton has the characteristics of small wind resistance, low noise and large dust holding capacity.

[0003] Although electrostatic cotton has excellent performance as a filter material, in actual use, due to the large air volume of the air system, a single electrostatic cotton has low stiffness and is easy to deform under large air volume and cannot be used. Therefore, people in this field have optimized the stiffness of electrostatic cotton. The prior art discloses compounding an electrostatic skeleton material on the surface of electrostatic cotton to improve the stiffness of electrostatic cotton. However, in actual application, it is found that the wind resistance of the electrostatic cotton with the composite electrostatic skeleton material will significantly increase to more than 3 Pa, and the cost will be significantly increased. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, Publication No. CN115230268A proposes compounding an electrostatic skeleton material on both sides of the electrostatic cotton. A method for preparing a mesh cloth, in which the first mesh layer and the filter layer are compounded by a needle-punching process, and the second mesh layer and the filter layer are compounded by a hot-melt adhesive. The prepared air-conditioning filter mesh cloth has low wind resistance and high stiffness, and the wind resistance can reach 1.0-1.9 Pa; in addition, personnel in this field have found that the amount of hot-melt adhesive used in the preparation of the above-mentioned filter material has a greater influence on the wind resistance of the filter material, and the less the amount of hot-melt adhesive used, the greater the wind resistance. In addition, the curing time of the hot-melt adhesive is extremely short, usually only 8-10 seconds. Therefore, in order to ensure the bonding strength, the amount of hot-melt adhesive must be ensured and cannot be too small. Therefore, the hot-melt adhesive will have a greater influence on the wind resistance of the filter layer. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problem in the prior art that using hot melt adhesive to bond the mesh layer and the filter layer will lead to increased wind resistance of the filter material, the present invention provides an ultra-low resistance and high-efficiency air filter material, wherein a bonding layer made of low-melting-point EVA and a curing agent is arranged on the surface of the second mesh layer of the material, the curing agent is composed of crystalline EVA and a curing agent layer on its surface, and the curing agent layer is a solid curing agent made of thiol and epoxy compound. The curing time of the second mesh layer of the material can be extended to 5 to 10 minutes when compounded with the filter layer, and the adhesive can fully infiltrate the surface of the filter layer during compounding, thereby ensuring the composite strength of the mesh cloth and the filter layer and significantly reducing the influence of the adhesive on the filter material, and the wind resistance of the filter material can be reduced to 0.5 to 0.7 Pa.

[0005] The specific technical scheme of the present invention is: An ultra-low resistance and high-efficiency air filter material comprises a filter layer, a first mesh layer bonded to the filter layer, and a second mesh layer bonded to the filter layer, wherein the surface of the second mesh layer is provided with an adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises 30 to 45 parts of low-melting-point EVA, 5 to 8 parts of high-crystalline EVA, and 10 to 20 parts of a curing agent, and the curing agent is provided on the surface of the crystalline EVA.

[0006] The present invention provides an ultra-low resistance and high-efficiency air filter material, which is composed of a filter layer and a first mesh layer and a second mesh layer respectively compounded on both sides of a filter layer. The wind resistance of the air filter material can be reduced to 0.5-0.7 Pa, and the material has high stiffness, light weight and low wind resistance. The present invention finds that when hot melt adhesive is used to compound the second mesh layer and the filter layer, there is a problem that the curing time is very short and the amount of adhesive is high, resulting in an increase in the wind resistance of the composite material. The curing time of traditional polyolefin hot melt adhesive is usually only 8-10s. Therefore, a certain amount of hot melt adhesive is required when it is used so that the hot melt adhesive can fully infiltrate and bond with the surface of the filter layer. Therefore, the amount of hot melt adhesive is usually controlled at 0.3-0.5g / m 2 , this part of the hot melt adhesive will cause the wind resistance of the filter material to increase.

[0007] The present invention provides an adhesive for the above-mentioned problem, and arranges the adhesive on the surface of the second grid layer in the form of a solid film. The method can significantly reduce the amount of the adhesive, solve the problem that the adhesive has a great influence on the wind resistance of the filter material, and reduce the wind resistance of the filter material to 0.5-0.7 Pa; in addition, the present invention also optimizes the curing time of the adhesive, prolongs the curing time of the adhesive to 5-10 minutes, so that the adhesive has enough time to fully infiltrate the surface of the filter layer during compounding, and ensures the peel strength after curing. The adhesive of the present invention uses low-melting-point EVA as the basic raw material of the adhesive. The low-melting-point adhesive has good fluidity and can better infiltrate the filter layer after melting to ensure the composite strength. In addition, the present invention adds a curing agent and High crystallinity EVA, the curing agent adopts a solid curing agent made of thiol and epoxy resin. The curing agent is a solid curing agent. The low melting point EVA has a lower melting point, and the high crystallinity EVA has a higher melting point. Therefore, the low melting point EVA can be melted first at a lower temperature by heating, and then the high melting point EVA can be melted at a higher temperature. Therefore, the heating rate can be set between the melting points of the low melting point EVA and the high crystallinity EVA to control the melting time of the adhesive, and then the solid curing agent is wrapped by the high crystallinity EVA, and then the high crystallinity EVA is heated to release the wrapped curing agent after melting, and mixed with the low melting point EVA and the melted high crystallinity EVA at the melting temperature of the solid curing agent, and the adhesive is quickly cured.

The wind resistance of Comparative Example 1 is 1.4 Pa, the peel strength is 5.8 N / m, and the filtration efficiency is 58%. From the results of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, it can be seen that the air filter material prepared in the present application has significantly improved peel strength and filtration efficiency compared with the air filter compounded with hot melt adhesive, and the wind resistance of the filter material is significantly reduced.

[0033] The adhesive in Comparative Example 2 does not contain high-crystalline EVA and curing agent, and its peel strength is only 3.4 N / m. After analysis, it is found that when high-crystalline EVA and curing agent are not added to the adhesive, the fluidity of the low-melting-point EVA is relatively large, and long-term melting will cause the low-melting-point EVA to flow along the fiber flow of the filter layer, resulting in a significant decrease in the peel strength of the final air filter material.

[0034] In Comparative Example 3, no high-crystalline EVA was added, and its peel strength was only 3.2 N / m. After analysis, it was found that, similar to Comparative Example 2, the high-crystalline EVA would form a high-viscosity melt with the low-melting-point EVA after melting. When the high-crystalline EVA was not melted yet, the melted low-melting-point EVA could quickly wet the fiber. After the high-crystalline EVA was melted, the high-crystalline EVA would quickly mix with the low-melting-point EVA to form a high-viscosity melt, ensuring that the melt would not flow quickly so that the melt could be maintained on the surface of the second mesh layer and the filter layer.

[0035] In Comparative Example 4, the high-crystalline EVA is not used to coat the curing agent. In actual operation, it is found that when the high-crystalline EVA and the curing agent are not compounded, the dispersibility of the curing agent in the low-melting point EVA is poor and it is difficult to mix evenly. After the high-crystalline EVA is wrapped on the curing agent, the high-crystalline EVA and the low-melting point EVA have high compatibility and can be evenly dispersed in the low-melting point EVA.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent transformation made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
