Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a glass fiber-based thermal insulation material, in particular to a glass fiber felt. Background Art
[0002] Elastic felt made of glass fiber is mainly used for the insulation of LNG storage tanks. It is installed between the inner and outer tank walls, generally between the inner tank wall and the expanded perlite layer, to relieve the pressure of the expanded perlite on the inner tank side caused by the temperature change caused by the feeding or withdrawal of the tank. With the increasing application of LNG natural gas, the corresponding demand for tank insulation materials is also increasing. Glass fiber, as the raw material of elastic felt, has good insulation, strong heat resistance, good corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength and The Chinese patent document CN117107440A discloses a high and low temperature resistant glass fiber mat. The modified glass fiber is used to improve the dispersion performance of the glass fiber and the combination performance with the curing agent, and a high temperature resistant curing agent is used, thereby improving the performance of the glass fiber mat. However, in further research, we found that the thermal insulation performance of this glass fiber mat is not very ideal and the density is too large. Therefore, providing a glass fiber mat with better thermal insulation performance, lower density and equivalent or better tensile performance has become an urgent problem to be solved in the prior art. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a new glass fiber mat, which is improved on the basis of the existing glass fiber mat to obtain a glass fiber mat with better thermal insulation performance and high elasticity. The technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a thermal insulation high elastic glass fiber mat, and the preparation method of the glass fiber mat includes: 1) Glass fiber modification: Add glass fiber to toluene, stir for 20-30 minutes, then add toluene solution of 2,4-diisocyanate, mix well, pass nitrogen protection, react at 80-90°C for 2-4 hours, wait for the product to cool, filter and separate the solid sample, wash, and vacuum dry to obtain isocyanate-modified glass fiber; add isocyanate-modified glass fiber to xylene, stir for 20-30 minutes, then add sodium lignin sulfonate and catalyst, mix well, pass nitrogen protection, react at 50-60°C for 1-3 hours, filter and dry after the reaction is completed to obtain modified glass fiber. 2) Alkali treatment of hollow glass microspheres The hollow glass microspheres are immersed in an alkali metal hydroxide solution with a concentration of 0.1-0.2 mol / L for alkali treatment at a temperature of 50-60° C. for a treatment time of 1-3 h. After the treatment, the alkali-treated hollow glass microspheres are washed with purified water and dried to obtain alkali-treated hollow glass microspheres.
[0004] 3) Cutting the modified glass fiber into long modified glass fiber with a length of 145-150 mm and short modified glass fiber with a length of 45-50 mm; combing, screening and mixing the long and short modified glass fibers respectively to form uniform long modified glass fiber filaments and short modified glass fiber filaments; 4) Add alkali-treated hollow glass microspheres to epoxy resin binder, immerse long modified glass fiber filaments and short modified glass fiber filaments in epoxy resin binder respectively, take them out after complete immersion, and lay them on mesh belts respectively to form long and short modified glass fiber meshes, wherein the mass ratio of alkali-treated hollow glass microspheres to epoxy resin binder is 2-5:100; 5) The long and short modified glass fiber meshes are stacked in the order of one layer of long modified glass fiber mesh and one layer of short modified glass fiber mesh to form an original felt with a thickness of 9.5-10.5 mm, and then the original felt is folded and bent to form a single-layer secondary felt with the same length and width, and then the single-layer secondary felt is stacked in multiple layers, and then extruded and tightened to form a primary felt; 6) Send the primary felt into a high-temperature tunnel furnace to bake, release its elasticity and shape it; 7) After high-temperature baking, the formed glass fiber felt is trimmed, sealed and cut to obtain a finished thermal insulation high-elastic glass fiber felt.
[0005] The thermal insulation high-elastic glass fiber felt further has a fiber diameter of 8-10 μm and a true density of the hollow glass microspheres of 0.15-0.2 g / ml, preferably 3MK20 / K15 / S15 hollow glass microspheres.
[0006] Furthermore, in step 1), the catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate.
[0007] Furthermore, in step 4), the epoxy resin adhesive comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 70-80 parts of epoxy resin, 5-10 parts of modified polyamide amine curing agent, 1-3 parts of toughening agent, and 1-5 parts of white carbon black.
[0008] Furthermore, in step 4), the mass ratio of the alkali-treated hollow glass microspheres to the epoxy resin adhesive is 3-4:100.
[0009] The heat-insulating high-elastic glass fiber mat provided by the present invention is compared with the glass fiber mat in the prior art. By optimizing the ratio and specification of the hollow glass microspheres added to the binder and performing alkali treatment on the surface of the hollow glass microspheres, it is unexpectedly found that when the addition ratio is appropriate, the tensile strength and heat insulation performance of the glass fiber mat can be maintained or improved while the product density is reduced. In particular, the further preferred addition ratio of the hollow glass microspheres can significantly reduce the material density of the glass fiber mat, improve the tensile strength, and significantly reduce the thermal conductivity.
