Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fluorine-free water repellent agents, and specifically relates to a preparation method and application of a fluorine-free water repellent agent for glass fiber air filter paper. Background Art

[0002] Glass fiber paper is prepared by adding corresponding chemical reagents to evenly disperse glass fibers in water to form a suspension, and then filtering and forming on a forming net. Glass fiber paper has a finer diameter and can achieve high filtering accuracy. At the same time, glass fiber paper has a high modulus and is relatively stiff, which makes the fiber diameter very small but not easy to aggregate. The stacking density is relatively low, so the filtering resistance is also low. The high efficiency and low resistance performance are the main reasons why glass fiber paper filter paper dominates the market. Therefore, it is widely used in the filter layer of various filters and is an important part of the filtering function. It can be used to filter dust and various aerosol particles in the atmosphere, and is widely used in industrial production, air compressor compressed air filtration, air conditioning filtration, vacuum cleaners, gas masks, etc.

[0003] Air filter paper with excellent performance should have high filtration accuracy, relatively low filtration resistance, high dirt holding capacity and long service life. Chinese patent CN 107686531 A provides a polyacrylate emulsion for impregnation of glass fiber air filter paper and its preparation method. The problems of powder and hair loss on the back of the glass fiber filter paper impregnated with the polyacrylate emulsion are improved and have good air permeability. The quality of glass fiber filter paper can be improved to a certain extent, but the hydrophobicity is poor. In a relatively humid environment, the air filter paper is easy to absorb water and soften, and the strength deteriorates, resulting in a decrease in filtration efficiency. At the same time, the life of the paper is shortened, and the application requirements of air filter paper cannot be met. Chinese patent CN 109320651A, organic siloxane monomer is directly added to the acrylic emulsion as a modification aid for modification, and a super-hydrophobic polyacrylate composite emulsion for impregnation of glass fiber paper is prepared by compounding with nano zinc oxide and silane coupling agent. The glass fiber filter paper impregnated with the polyacrylate composite emulsion has super-hydrophobic performance, good filtration efficiency, and good air permeability. However, the patent does not test the water resistance of the treated glass fiber filter paper. Chinese patent CN 116635129A provides a filter medium containing a fluorinated water repellent additive and a non-fluorinated water repellent additive, and improves the water resistance of the glass fiber filter paper by adding a waterproofing agent. However, in recent years, due to the increasing concern about the environmental and ecological problems caused by fluorinated compounds and the impact on human health, there is an urgent need to find a fluorine-free alternative that can provide good water resistance. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a high-efficiency fluorine-free water-repellent agent for glass fiber air filter paper and its application in preparing high-efficiency waterproof glass fiber air filter paper. It aims to improve the quality of glass fiber air filter paper while providing excellent water resistance and high stiffness, and has higher filtration efficiency than ordinary water-repellent agents.

[0006] The mixed monomer is selected from one or a combination of two or more of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate;

[0007] The hydrophobic monomer is selected from a hydrophobic monomer composition of vinyl polydimethylsiloxane and one or two of octadecyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, isobornyl methacrylate or isodecyl methacrylate; the mass proportion of the vinyl polydimethylsiloxane in the hydrophobic monomer composition is 50-80wt%;

[0008] The functional monomer is selected from one or a combination of two or more of N-methyl acrylamide, N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide, vinyl triethoxysilane, and tetramethyl tetravinyl cyclotetrasiloxane.

[0009] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the co-solvent is selected from one of tripropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether.

[0010] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the composite emulsifier is a combination of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDS) and one or two of alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (OP) and polyethylene oxide sorbitan monostearate (Tween).

[0011] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the water-soluble initiator is ammonium persulfate or potassium persulfate.

[0012] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the chain transfer agent is n-dodecyl mercaptan.

[0013] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned fluorine-free water repellent, comprising the following two stages:

[0014] 1) The first stage is the copolymerization of mixed monomers to form nuclear seeds: first, a certain amount of water and composite emulsifier are added to the reactor, and then the mixed monomers are emulsified with the composite emulsifier and added to the reactor, and part of the initiator is added dropwise, and the mixture is heated to 70-80°C, and the rotation speed of the electric stirrer is set to 150-200rmin. After the system reacts for about 10-20min, a blue phenomenon will appear. After 20-40min, a co-solvent is added dropwise and the mixture is balanced for 10min.

[0015] 2) The second stage is the dropwise addition reaction of the shell part containing the hydrophobic monomer: the hydrophobic monomer, the functional monomer and the chain transfer agent are mixed and emulsified with a composite emulsifier to obtain the shell part monomer, the emulsified shell part monomer and the remaining initiator are added dropwise respectively, and the continuous dropping is controlled within 2-4 hours; after the dropwise addition is completed, the system is heated to 80-90°C and kept warm for 1-2 hours; finally, the temperature is lowered and the material is discharged to obtain a white and slightly blue fluorine-free water-repellent emulsion.
