Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rubber plates, and in particular to a tensile flame-retardant rubber plate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Rubber sheet is a sheet product with a certain thickness and large area made of rubber as the main material through vulcanization. It usually has excellent rebound, oil resistance and weather resistance. Flame retardant rubber sheet is a rubber sheet with flame retardant properties. It is mainly made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber as the main material, with various flame retardants and other additives added, and processed through a specific process. After reaching the ignition point, it can delay the combustion process and reduce the flame propagation speed. It can play a good fire prevention role in high temperature and flammable environments. Therefore, it can be used in fire prevention, explosion prevention, anti-slip and other aspects of buildings.

[0003] In addition to its flame retardant properties, flame retardant rubber sheets may be subjected to various tensile forces during use, such as in seals, conveyor belts and other applications, which require a certain amount of tensile stress. Good tensile resistance can ensure that the rubber sheet will not easily break or deform after being subjected to force, maintain the integrity of the structure, and thus ensure the normal performance of its sealing, connection and other functions. Furthermore, in the use of industrial production, construction and other fields, flame retardant rubber sheets will contact and generate friction with various objects, such as in conveying equipment, stairs and other parts. Good wear resistance can reduce the problems of thickness reduction and surface damage caused by wear of rubber sheets, extend their service life, reduce the frequency of replacement, and reduce maintenance costs. Therefore, good tensile resistance and wear resistance are important factors to ensure that flame retardant rubber sheets can maintain stable performance during long-term use.

[0004] However, although the existing flame retardant rubber sheet has certain tensile and wear resistance, its performance still needs to be improved. In some complex working conditions that require higher tensile and wear resistance, the current flame retardant rubber sheet may not be able to withstand frequent deformation and damage, thus affecting its service life. Therefore, improving the tensile and wear resistance of flame retardant rubber sheets is a key technical issue that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The invention provides a tensile flame-retardant rubber sheet and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problems of poor tensile performance and poor wear resistance of the flame-retardant rubber sheet in the related art.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention provides a tensile flame-retardant rubber sheet, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 30-40 parts of chloroprene rubber, 15-20 parts of nitrile rubber, 8-16 parts of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, 50-60 parts of flame retardant, 1-1.5 parts of vulcanizing agent, 0.4-0.8 parts of accelerator, 15-25 parts of inorganic fiber; The inorganic fibers include basalt fibers and aluminum silicate fibers; The weight ratio of the basalt fiber to the aluminum silicate fiber is 1:19-19:1.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the weight ratio of the basalt fiber to the aluminum silicate fiber is 3~8:2.

[0008] When the weight ratio of basalt fiber to aluminum silicate fiber is 3-8:2, the tensile properties and wear resistance of the flame retardant rubber sheet can be further improved.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the inorganic fiber is a modified inorganic fiber, and the modified inorganic fiber is obtained by modifying the inorganic fiber with a modifier.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the modifier includes carbon nanotubes.

[0011] When the modifier is carbon nanotubes, the inorganic fibers are modified by carbon nanotubes so that the inorganic fibers can be evenly dispersed in the rubber matrix material, so that they can be better filled in the internal structure of the rubber sheet, thereby improving the structural stability of the flame retardant rubber sheet, thereby further improving the tensile and wear resistance of the flame retardant rubber sheet.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the weight ratio of the inorganic fiber to the modifier is 20:1~3.

[0013] When the weight ratio of inorganic fiber to modifier is 20:1~3, the tensile properties and wear resistance of the flame retardant rubber sheet can be further improved.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the modified inorganic fiber comprises the following steps: dispersing the inorganic fiber and the modifier in a polyethylene glycol solution, drying, calcining, and crushing to obtain the modified inorganic fiber.

[0015] After the modifier and the inorganic fiber are dispersed in the polyethylene glycol solution, the modifier and the inorganic fiber can be effectively combined through calcination, thereby realizing the modification of the inorganic fiber by the modifier.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the mass fraction of the polyethylene glycol solution is 15% to 24%.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the weight ratio of the inorganic fiber to the polyethylene glycol solution is 1:1.25~1.35.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the modifier further includes silicon carbide, and the weight ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the silicon carbide is 1-5:1.

[0019] When the modifier also includes silicon carbide, the inorganic fibers are modified together with silicon carbide and carbon nanotubes, which can further improve the tensile properties and wear resistance of the flame retardant rubber sheet. The reason may be that the addition of silicon carbide can improve the modification effect of carbon nanotubes on inorganic fibers, thereby further improving the interaction between inorganic fibers and other components in the matrix, thereby further improving the tensile properties and wear resistance of the flame retardant rubber sheet. Among them, by optimizing the weight ratio of carbon nanotubes and silicon carbide, it is found that when the weight ratio of carbon nanotubes and silicon carbide is 1~5:1, the modification effect of the modifier on the inorganic fibers can reach the best, thereby further improving the tensile properties and wear resistance of the flame retardant rubber sheet.

[0020] As a further technical solution, during the calcination, the temperature is 700-800°C and the time is 2-3 hours.

[0021] As a further technical solution, the flame retardant includes one or both of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide; and / or The vulcanizing agent includes one or two of sulfur and dicumyl peroxide; and / or The accelerator includes one or more of accelerator H, accelerator D, and accelerator TMTD.

[0022] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the tensile flame-retardant rubber sheet, comprising the following steps: S1, after first mixing the chloroprene rubber, the nitrile rubber and the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, adding the inorganic fiber, the flame retardant and the accelerator for second mixing, removing the glue, cooling, and obtaining a mixture; S2, mixing the mixture with the vulcanizing agent, and vulcanizing the mixture to obtain the tensile flame retardant rubber sheet.

[0023] As a further technical solution, in step S1, during the first mixing, the temperature is 120-130°C and the time is 15-25 minutes; during the second mixing, the temperature is 110-120°C and the time is 10-15 minutes.

[0024] As a further technical solution, in step S2, during the vulcanization treatment, the vulcanization temperature is 130-140° C., the vulcanization pressure is 15-20 MPa, and the vulcanization time is 10-20 min.

[0025] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention are: In the present invention, chloroprene rubber is used as a base material to prepare a rubber sheet, and nitrile rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, inorganic fiber and other additives are added at the same time, so that the flame retardant rubber sheet prepared has excellent tensile properties and performs well in terms of wear resistance. The inorganic fiber includes basalt fiber and aluminum silicate fiber, and the two inorganic fibers can be well filled in the flame retardant rubber sheet. Through the use of two different inorganic fibers, a dense structure can be formed inside the rubber sheet, thereby better maintaining the stability of the shape and size of the rubber sheet, reducing compression deformation, and thus significantly improving the tensile properties and wear resistance of the flame retardant rubber sheet.
