Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of chemical raw material production, and specifically relates to a Schiff base-DOPO based composite reaction type flame retardant unsaturated polyester resin and a synthesis method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) is one of the most widely used thermosetting resins. It has the advantages of easy availability of raw materials, low price, good chemical corrosion resistance, excellent mechanical properties and a wide processing temperature range, and can be cured at room temperature and pressure. It can be widely used in chemical industry, transportation, construction, electricity, national defense and other fields. However, UPR is mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen elements, and its limiting oxygen index (LOI) is usually only 20%-50%. It is very flammable, and has poor flame retardant and heat resistance. It is easy to cause fire accidents, and a large amount of harmful smoke will be generated during combustion, which will pose a serious threat to life and property safety. Therefore, flame retardant modification of UPR materials is an inevitable measure to reduce its flammability and broaden its application breadth.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to impart flame retardant properties to UPR, the following two methods are generally used: one is additive flame retardant modification, i.e., adding flame retardants during the UPR molding process; the other is reactive flame retardant modification, i.e., using intermediates containing flame retardant elements as raw materials to synthesize flame retardant UPR. In the actual implementation process, traditional flame retardant additives and UPR matrix rely on physical mixing and bonding, and have poor compatibility. Moreover, flame retardant additives are easy to migrate out of the matrix, reducing flame retardant efficiency and destroying the mechanical properties of the material. At the same time, traditional additive flame retardants can only make UPR achieve higher flame retardant properties when added in large amounts, which makes its defects of easy migration and poor compatibility more obvious, the product has a shorter service life, and the actual use experience is poor. Therefore, improvements are urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the existing flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin is usually formed by physically mixing a flame-retardant additive with a UPR matrix, the flame-retardant additive has poor compatibility with the UPR matrix, the bonding strength is low, the flame-retardant additive is easy to migrate out of the matrix, and a large amount of flame-retardant additives need to be added to improve the flame retardant performance. During long-term use, the resin is prone to flame retardant migration and agglomeration, which will reduce the flame retardant performance and mechanical properties of the resin, the present application proposes a Schiff base-DOPO based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin.

[0009] The comonomer B, unsaturated acid anhydride, ethylene glycol and catalyst are sequentially put into a reaction kettle, and reacted for 7-12 hours at 110° C.-225° C. under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a high-purity Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin;

[0010] The high-purity Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin is cooled and transferred to a dilution tank and diluted with styrene to obtain a finished Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin.

[0011] In a possible embodiment, the synthesis method of the Schiff base-DOPO based composite reactive flame retardant unsaturated polyester resin comprises the following steps:

[0012] Step 101. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, an aqueous solution of a diprimary amine, an aqueous solution of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 10% acetic acid are put into a reaction kettle, and condensed and refluxed for 1 hr to 2 hr in a water bath at 50° C. to 85° C. to obtain an intermediate A. During the reaction, the progress of the reaction is monitored by HPLC;

[0013] Step 102. Add DOPO ethanol solution to the intermediate A prepared in step 101, and stir the mixture under heating conditions for 9-12 hours. After the reaction is completed, evaporate the solvent, wash with water, and dry to obtain comonomer B.

[0014] Step 103.

[0015] The first heating stage is: heating the temperature of the reaction system from room temperature to 110°C;

[0099]

[0100] Among them, the value of n is 5581 and its acid value is 28.4 mgKOH / g.

[0101] The Schiff base-DOPO based composite reactive flame retardant unsaturated polyester resin prepared in Examples 1-3 was subjected to the following tests:

[0102] Test 1: The Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resins prepared in Examples 1-3 were sampled respectively, and after being made into test pieces of the same specifications according to GB / T8924 standard, the corresponding limiting oxygen indexes were measured respectively;

[0105] The aging treatment includes placing the Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin prepared in Examples 1-3 under ultraviolet light, and measuring the corresponding UL-94 flame retardancy rating after 24 hours, 72 hours and 120 hours at a temperature of 50°C;

[0106] Test 4: Mechanical properties test. After the Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin prepared in Examples 1-3 was made into resin castings of the same specifications, the corresponding mechanical properties were measured according to GB / T2567-2008 and GB / T3854-2005, respectively. The test results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0107] Table 1 Test results of examples 1-3

[0108]

[0109] It can be seen from the test results in Table 1 that the Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin prepared in Examples 1-3 is prepared by reacting the intermediate A with DOPO to obtain the comonomer B. The phosphorus-containing flame-retardant group in DOPO can be effectively embedded in the polymer chain segment. Compared with the traditional flame-retardant additive type flame-retardant resin, the binding ability of the chemical bond is significantly higher than that of the physical blending. After standing for a long time, the Schiff base-DOPO-based composite reactive flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin can still maintain a high mechanical stability and flame retardant performance, which greatly extends the service life of the resin. Furthermore, in this scheme, the intermediate A contains a large number of aromatic rings. By introducing a large number of aromatic rings into the unsaturated polyester resin, its own tensile and compressive mechanical properties are significantly improved. Compared with the traditional additive unsaturated polyester resin, it not only effectively reduces the amount of flame retardant additives and reduces the preparation cost, but also significantly improves the flame retardant and mechanical properties of the resin, which is in line with the concept of green chemical production.

[0110] In actual implementation, the phosphorus in the comonomer B prevents further combustion by capturing free radicals and combustion products during the combustion process to form a dense carbon layer. During the combustion process, phosphoric anhydride and volatile phosphides (such as PO·, etc.) are generated. Phosphoric anhydride can dehydrate and carbonize the polymer during the combustion of the material, forming a carbonized layer on the surface of the polymer, which can both isolate the external heat and prevent the combustion of the polymer; secondly, the thermal decomposition of phosphoric anhydride will form a glass-like melt on the surface of the polymer. Most organophosphorus flame retardants generate volatile PO·, which will capture the H· generated by the combustion of the polymer to form a stable HPO, which can effectively slow down or prevent further combustion of the polymer.

[0111] The present application provides a Schiff base-DOPO based composite reactive flame retardant unsaturated polyester resin and a synthesis method thereof. An intermediate A is prepared under acidic conditions by reacting a diprimary amine with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and a comonomer B is prepared by reacting the intermediate A with DOPO. Finally, the Schiff base-DOPO based composite reactive flame retardant unsaturated polyester resin is obtained after chain extension through polymerization of the comonomer B, an unsaturated acid anhydride, ethylene glycol and a catalyst. By using DOPO as a flame retardant monomer and curing it on a polymer chain, not only the uniformity of the distribution of the flame retardant monomer in the resin matrix is ​​improved, but also the flame retardant effect of the unsaturated polyester resin is improved. By introducing a large number of aromatic rings into the polymer chain segment, the hardness and compressive strength of the resin can be significantly improved after curing. After the resin is placed for a long time, it can still maintain excellent mechanical properties. The resin has the advantages of being easy for industrial production, low implementation cost, and easy to promote and implement.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
