Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building materials, and in particular to a pressure-induced polymerized super-hydrophobic lightweight calcium silicon insulation board and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the proposal of my country's "dual carbon" strategy, the building materials industry, as a major CO2 emitter, is an important way to achieve my country's "dual carbon" goals. In 2020, the national building operation phase carbon emissions were 2.16 billion tons, accounting for 21.7% of the country's total carbon emissions. Therefore, promoting ultra-low / near-zero energy consumption buildings, improving my country's building energy conservation level, and reducing building operation energy consumption and carbon emissions are important measures to achieve the "dual carbon" strategy.

[0003] Insulation materials are an important material basis for achieving ultra-low / near-zero energy consumption buildings and building energy conservation. As a typical cement-based porous, lightweight insulation material, foamed concrete has received more attention due to its low density, low shrinkage, good insulation effect, low cost, easy preparation, low thermal conductivity, fire resistance and high temperature resistance. However, the high porosity and large pore size of foamed concrete make it easy for water, salt and other components inside it to be transmitted inside, resulting in deterioration of mechanical properties and reduced service life. Therefore, it is of great significance to break through the current dilemma of high water absorption of foamed concrete and provide a new preparation method for super-hydrophobic lightweight calcium silicon insulation board.

[0016] 3) opening the connecting valve between the pressure barrel A and the pressure barrel B, so that the slurry and the prefabricated foam are evenly mixed in the pressure barrel A to obtain a foaming slurry;

[0017] 4) Open the pressure relief valve of the pressure barrel A, cast the foaming slurry into shape, and after the formed foaming slurry is hardened, perform pressure steam curing, and then cut it into a desired shape to obtain a pressure-induced polymerized super-hydrophobic lightweight calcium silicon insulation board.

At the same time, polymer monomers with different functions are added to the insulation material, and the pressurized environment is used to induce the polymerization reaction, so that an in-situ polymerization reaction occurs inside the material to form a hydrophobic layer, enhance its water resistance, and thus achieve a high durability design of the insulation material.
