Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of flame retardant functional additive preparation, and specifically relates to a flame retardant synergist and a preparation method thereof, and also relates to the application of the flame retardant synergist in the preparation of flame retardant polypropylene composite materials. Background Art

[0002] Flame-retardant polypropylene material is a polypropylene (PP) plastic with flame retardants added. By adding a certain amount of flame retardants to the polypropylene base material, the combustion process of the material can be slowed down or stopped, thereby improving the safety of the material. Among them, halogen-free flame retardants mainly include magnesium-aluminum series, phosphorus series, intumescent flame retardants, etc. Since their ingredients do not contain halogens (such as chlorine and bromine), less toxic gases and corrosive substances are produced during combustion, which has less impact on the environment and human health, and is widely used.

[0003] At present, in order to improve the flame retardant properties of halogen-free flame retardant polypropylene composite materials, a certain amount of flame retardant synergists are generally introduced to improve the flame retardant effect of halogen-free flame retardants. For example, phenylphosphonic acid, as a common synergist, can improve the effect of halogen-free flame retardants, improve carbonization ability, and reduce heat release rate, thereby improving the flame retardant effect of the material. On the one hand, since halogen-free flame retardants and synergists are generally poorly compatible with polypropylene substrates, the mechanical properties of the material will decrease; on the other hand, in order to achieve the ideal flame retardant effect, the amount of flame retardant added also needs to be larger, which will also affect the mechanical properties of polypropylene materials.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop new flame retardant synergists to improve the flame retardant properties while maintaining the mechanical properties of polypropylene materials as much as possible. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the primary purpose of the present application is to provide a method for preparing a flame retardant synergist. The method provided in the present application can prepare a nickel phenyl phosphate material grown into a lamellar structure, which is the flame retardant synergist in the present application. It can not only enhance the polypropylene material, but also cooperate with the flame retardant to significantly improve the flame retardant properties of the polypropylene material.

[0006] One aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing a flame retardant synergist, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Add soluble nickel salt, phenylphosphonic acid, hexamethylenetetramine and polyvinylpyrrolidone into the reaction solvent and stir for 0.5 to 2 hours to obtain a mixed solution;

[0008] The mixed solution is placed at 150-200° C. to react for 12-24 hours to obtain a nickel phenyl phosphate sheet material, which is the flame retardant synergist.

[0009] Another aspect of the present application provides a flame retardant synergist, which is prepared using the preparation method described above.

[0010] Another aspect of the present application provides use of the flame retardant synergist as described above in the preparation of a flame retardant polypropylene composite material.

[0011] Another aspect of the present application provides a flame retardant polypropylene composite material, which is prepared from the following components in parts by weight:

[0012] Polypropylene 73.8-82.6 parts; flame retardant 14-20 parts; flame retardant synergist mentioned above 3-5 parts; antioxidant 0.2-0.6 parts; processing aid 0.2-0.6 parts.

[0013] Another aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing the flame retardant polypropylene composite material as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0014] According to weight parts, 73.8-82.6 parts of polypropylene, 14-20 parts of flame retardant, 3-5 parts of flame retardant synergist, 0.2-0.6 parts of antioxidant and 0.2-0.6 parts of processing aid are fully mixed to obtain a uniform mixture;

[0015] The mixed material is added into a twin-screw extruder and granulated through melt extrusion to obtain a flame-retardant polypropylene composite material.

[0016] Beneficial effects of this application:

[0017] The nickel phenyl phosphate material prepared in the present application is in the form of a lamellar layer, which is added to the flame-retardant polypropylene composite material as a flame retardant synergist, and can significantly improve the performance of the flame-retardant polypropylene composite material. Specifically, the prepared lamellar nickel phenyl phosphate material is distributed in the polypropylene base material under normal circumstances, and its lamellar structure can transmit stress when subjected to force, hinder the expansion of silver streaks, and play a reinforcing role. When the material is burning, the lamellar nickel phenyl phosphate can decompose to produce substances such as NiO, H3PO4, H4P2O7, and C6H6, among which C6H6 is easily dehydrogenated to form a carbon layer under the catalytic action of the catalyst NiO. Since the decomposition product of NiPP has good catalytic ability, a dense solid protective carbonaceous layer is formed, which acts as a barrier to prevent heat and mass transfer, thereby significantly improving the flame retardant properties of the polypropylene composite material. In addition, HPO· and PO· in H3PO4 and H4P2O7 interfere with combustion in the gas phase, and the synergistic flame suppression of phosphorus and nickel further improves the flame retardant efficiency. The formation of the residual layer during the combustion process is the key to protecting the internal matrix and suppressing smoke. Therefore, the flame-retardant polypropylene material of the present invention, the added nickel phenyl phosphate can significantly increase the density and cross-linking rate of the outer coke surface. At the same time, the internal residual layer becomes thick and solid, which can prevent the volatilization of the internal combustible components. In addition, the effective solid slag layer plays a role of heat resistance, improves the flame retardant efficiency, and greatly reduces the smoke volume. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the implementation methods of the present application. The technical solutions in the implementation methods described below are exemplary and are only possible technical implementations of the present application, not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can fully combine the implementation methods of the present application to obtain other implementation methods without creative work, and these implementation methods are also within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] The first aspect of the present application discloses a method for preparing a flame retardant synergist, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0020] Add soluble nickel salt, phenylphosphonic acid, hexamethylenetetramine and polyvinylpyrrolidone into the reaction solvent and stir for 0.5 to 2 hours to obtain a mixed solution;

[0021] The mixed solution is placed at 150-200° C. to react for 12-24 hours to obtain a nickel phenyl phosphate sheet material, which is the flame retardant synergist.

[0022] The preparation method mainly undergoes ion reaction in solution, autocatalytic reaction and surface adsorption and diffusion. First, the nickel ions in the solution, as metal cations, have the ability to accept electron pairs to form coordination bonds, while the phenyl phosphate ions can provide electron pairs to coordinate with the nickel ions, and form complexes through ion reactions, which is the starting step for the growth of lamellar nickel phenyl phosphate. Secondly, similar to chemical nickel plating, the growth of lamellar nickel phenyl phosphate involves autocatalytic reactions. Once a small amount of nickel phenyl phosphate nuclei are formed on the surface of the substrate, these nuclei will act as catalysts to accelerate the subsequent reduction and deposition reactions of nickel ions and phenyl phosphate ions, so that the crystals continue to grow. Furthermore, the ions in the solution will first be adsorbed on the surface of the substrate or the surface of the formed crystals, and then diffuse on the surface; during the diffusion process of the nickel ions and phenyl phosphate ions on the surface, they will find suitable positions for combination and deposition, thereby prompting the crystals to gradually grow in the two-dimensional direction to form a lamellar structure. Through the above process, a nickel phenyl phosphate material grown in a lamellar state can be prepared.
