Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a polyurethane foam leveling agent, and more particularly to a leveling agent that can improve surface defects of polyurethane foam, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane is an important synthetic material widely used in various products, such as thermal insulation materials for buildings, automobiles, and home appliances. However, during the foaming process of polyurethane, surface defects such as pores and depressions often occur due to the formation and growth of bubbles, which can affect the appearance and performance of the product.

[0003] In the building materials industry, surface defects in rigid polyurethane foam can reduce the product's insulation performance and may cause structural problems. Furthermore, in decorative building components, surface defects can also affect the overall aesthetics. In the home appliance industry, with the increasing popularity of high-end, non-built-in refrigerators, the market has increasingly higher requirements for the surface defects of polyurethane foam. Lower surface defects allow for thinner and lighter internal panels in refrigerators, and due to insulation requirements, the thermal conductivity of the polyurethane foam cannot be significantly reduced while improving surface defects.

[0004] To address this issue, researchers typically add foam stabilizers during the foaming process to control bubble formation and growth, thereby reducing surface defects. However, this still falls short of meeting the application requirements of specific fields.

[0005] Patent CN110317344A discloses a composition for rigid polyurethane foam. The silicone surfactant, prepared by introducing a nonionic surfactant and a bio-ester plasticizer, improves the thermal conductivity of rigid polyurethane foam, but fails to address the surface defects of the polyurethane foam. Patent CN109096494B describes a silicone surfactant for rigid polyurethane foam and its preparation method. This solves the compatibility problem caused by using vegetable oil-based polyols instead of petroleum-based polyols in the production of rigid polyurethane foam, improving the surface defects of the foam. However, the overall strength and thermal conductivity of the foam are significantly lacking.

[0006] Therefore, a new solution is needed to further improve the problem of numerous surface defects in polyurethane foam while maintaining a certain level of foam strength and thermal conductivity. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the above technical problems, this invention proposes a foam leveling agent that can improve surface defects in polyurethane foam, its preparation method, and its application.
