Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a polyurethane composite material and a preparation process and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional polyurethane formulas react quickly and have short working time, while polyurethane formulas with long working time have long curing time. When producing products with high temperature resistance requirements, higher mold temperatures are required, which further shortens the working time, making this problem more prominent.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, most polyurethane formulations will sacrifice curing time to extend the operating window, or reduce mold temperature to extend the operating time. These methods are difficult to apply to thin-sized products with temperature resistance requirements, such as new energy electric vehicle battery shells, resulting in thin-sized products made of polyurethane composite materials having different performance properties compared with other materials (such as epoxy resin), such as resistance to moisture and heat aging.

[0004] CN106232671A discloses a composite formula composition of polyurethane, which includes two or more thermosensitive catalysts, but does not involve improvement of moisture and heat aging resistance, and is not suitable for thin-size products with temperature resistance requirements.

[0005] CN110922554A discloses a polyurethane composite material, which is prepared by VARTM and HP-RTM processes. The polyurethane composition includes reactive and non-reactive flame retardants (ratio 1 to 3:1) and metal thermosensitive catalysts. In this patent application, when the mold temperature reaches 80°C, the operable time becomes significantly shorter, which cannot meet the operational requirements of high temperature resistant products, and the long-term resistance to wet heat aging also needs to be improved.

[0006] CN112011027A uses at least one metal thermosensitive catalyst, reactive and non-reactive flame retardants (ratio 1 to 4:1) to form a formula to produce polyurethane composite materials. However, if it is used in HP-RTM process production, the operating window is narrow and the long-term moisture and heat aging resistance of the product needs to be improved.

[0007] CN114672149A discloses a foamed polyurethane composite material, which can be used as the upper cover of a battery pack. The polyurethane material in the polyurethane composite material is foam, which will increase the thickness of the battery shell product, and the air tightness is at risk, which is not conducive to the design of the battery pack, and does not involve the improvement of the long-term resistance to moisture and heat aging of the product.

[0008] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a polyurethane formula that can balance sufficient operating time and shorter demolding time to obtain a polyurethane composite material with excellent resistance to moisture and heat aging and high temperature requirements to achieve continuous production.

[0156] Example

[0157] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and do not constitute a limitation to the scope of the present invention.

[0158] The test methods in the following examples without specifying specific conditions are usually carried out under conventional conditions or under conditions recommended by the manufacturer. Unless otherwise specified or conflicting, percentages and parts used herein are by weight.

[0159] Materials, instruments and test methods

[0160] Table 1

[0161]

[0162] The molecular weight was determined by GPC high performance liquid chromatography.

[0163] The functionality of a polyol refers to the value obtained by measuring the functional group according to the industry formula: functionality = hydroxyl value × molecular weight / 56100; wherein the molecular weight is measured by GPC high performance liquid chromatography.

[0164] The glass transition temperature is determined by means of DSC analysis (DSC Q20 differential scanning calorimeter from Twxasinstruments) in accordance with standard ISO 11357-2.

[0165] The flame retardancy was tested according to UL94 standard, and the thickness of the test sample was 1.5 mm.

[0166] Moisture-heat aging resistance test: The obtained polyurethane composite material was stored outdoors for one month, and then baked at 85°C for 40 hours to observe the changes in its appearance.

[0167] ++It means that there are no visible defects on the surface of the composite material in the resin-rich area and the surface is smooth and flat.

[0168] --Refers to defects visible to the naked eye on the surface of the composite material in the resin-rich area, including lack of glue, pinholes and texture.

[0169] Cure degree test: The degree of cure of the product was determined by DSC analysis (DSC Q20 differential scanning calorimeter from Twxas instruments) according to standard ISO11357-3. The specific operation is to first test the total amount of heat released by mixing the isocyanate component and the isocyanate reactive component until complete cure is achieved. T , take the cured resin sample without any treatment after demoulding and perform DSC test, and record the residual heat release E R , calculate the degree of curing according to the following formula.

[0170] Curing degree=(1-E T / E R )*100%

[0171] Table 2

[0172]

[0173] “ / ” The composite material in comparative example 3 failed the flame retardancy test, and therefore the moisture and heat aging resistance test was not performed; the demoulding property in comparative example 5 was poor, and the obtained composite material was deformed, which could not meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0174] Examples 1-3, Comparative Examples 1-6

[0175] All components were mixed to obtain a polyurethane composition according to the amounts of components listed in Table 2. The pre-cleaned mold was sprayed with Ewomold 5716 (from KVS) and external mold release agent Acmos 36-4570 (from Acmos Chemie), and three layers of glass fiber fabric were stacked in the automotive battery pack cover mold.

[0176] Through the wet compression molding process, the mold temperature is raised to 120°C, and then the polyurethane composition is vacuumed and degassed and introduced onto the fiber fabric to allow the polyurethane composition to fully flow and spread in the mold. The mold is closed and pressurized for 3 minutes (1000KN / m 2 ) after which the polyurethane composite material was demoulded to obtain the upper cover of the vehicle battery pack and tested. The results are listed in Table 2.

[0177] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that the polyurethane formulas of Examples 1-3 can be used to prepare a battery pack cover with a thickness of 1.2 mm through a wet compression molding process, and have good resistance to moisture and heat aging, flame retardancy, demoulding, heat resistance, and the effect of curing in a short time. Comparative Example 1 failed to pass the moisture and heat aging resistance test, and a large number of defects were generated on the surface, which had a great impact on subsequent use; a degree of cure of less than 95% means that the curing time needs to be extended, resulting in a decrease in production efficiency. The composite material obtained in Comparative Example 4 has a glass transition temperature of less than 100°C and poor temperature resistance. The upper cover becomes soft and deformed during demolding. In Comparative Example 6, other types of internal release agents are selected, and the surface tension is significantly lower than the internal release agent selected in the present invention, which is not conducive to the subsequent bonding process.

[0178] Example 4

[0179] The pre-cleaned mold was sprayed with Ewomold 5716 (from KVS) and external mold release agent Acmos 36-4570 (from Acmos Chemie) respectively, and three layers of glass fiber fabric were stacked in the automobile underbody guard plate mold. According to the component amounts of Examples 1-3 listed in Table 2, all components were mixed to obtain a polyurethane composition.

[0180] The polyurethane composition is vacuum degassed and then injected into the mold under high pressure through a high-pressure resin transfer molding process to impregnate the glass fiber fabric with the polyurethane composition. The mold is closed and pressurized for 3 minutes (1000KN / m 2, the mold temperature is 120°C, and the polyurethane composite material is demoulded to obtain an automobile underbody guard plate (thickness 1.2 mm).

Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, but these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
