Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flame retardancy, and in particular to an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composition with flame retardancy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a polymer compound, an unbranched linear polyethylene with a molecular weight of more than 1.5 million, which has been widely used in the fields of electronic appliances, new energy, military, mining machinery, artificial joints, etc. However, due to the richness of hydrocarbons, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene produces black smoke or thick smoke when burning, and the melt drips, which will further expand the fire. The prospect of compounding low-cost, environmentally friendly flame retardant materials with polymer materials such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene to make composite flame retardant materials is relatively broad. However, some existing flame retardant materials have the problems of relatively high production costs, many products from petrochemical or organic synthesis routes, relatively complex ingredients (such as some compound organic flame retardants), and less than ideal environmental sustainability; some inorganic flame retardants have better flame retardant effects, but the amount added is relatively large, which makes the processing process more complicated, and also has a relatively large impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the material.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 107778638 A discloses a halogen-free flame-retardant ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material and a preparation method thereof, using the following raw materials: ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene substrate, pyro (poly) phosphate piperazine, alkyl hypophosphite, coupling agent, light stabilizer, plasticizer, flow modifier and organic modified nano-scale inorganic filler. The flame-retardant ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material prepared by the invention does not contain halogen, but the production cost is relatively high.

[0004] Chinese patent CN 106589458 A compounds expandable graphite, fly ash, polyether polyol, and isocyanate, adds a foaming agent and polydimethylsiloxane and / or silicone oil as a foam stabilizer, and prepares a flame retardant polyurethane foam, but the application occasions are relatively limited.

[0005] Chinese patent CN 101948581 A discloses an intumescent flame-retardant polyethylene containing an organosilicon compound, wherein the intumescent flame-retardant polyethylene containing an organosilicon compound also contains a metal oxide hydrate of an organosilicon flame retardant synergist, and the contents of each component by weight percentage are: polyethylene 70-80%, compound intumescent flame retardant 17-29.5%, and metal oxide hydrate containing an organosilicon flame retardant synergist 0.5-3%. The process is relatively complicated and the amount of flame retardant used is relatively high.

[0006] Chinese patent CN 110698873 A discloses a lignin / ammonium polyphosphate / wood powder / high-density polyethylene flame retardant composite material and its preparation method: the composite material includes the following components by mass: 5-30 parts of lignin, 5-30 parts of ammonium polyphosphate, 10-60 parts of wood powder and 30-60 parts of high-density polyethylene. It also includes the following components by mass: 1-3 parts of lubricant and 1-3 parts of coupling agent. This method uses high-density polyethylene to improve the flame retardant properties of wood-plastic composite materials. However, this method uses more ammonium polyphosphate and requires a larger amount of coupling agent, which is not conducive to environmental protection.

[0007] Chinese patent CN 110172237 A discloses a fire-resistant engineering plastic and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following raw materials: polycarbonate, organic modified montmorillonite, modified flame retardant, nano silicon dioxide, glass fiber, light stabilizer 770, polyethanol, ethylene bis stearamide, white carbon black, di(2,3-dichloropropyl)octyl phosphate, tri(neopentyl glycol phosphate)methylamine, silsesquioxane, vinyl triethoxysilane, hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene. However, this method uses more organic synthetic substances, the process technology is relatively complex, and the cost is relatively high.

[0008] The flame retardant properties of existing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials are relatively poor, and there is an urgent need to increase the added value of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials and develop an environmentally friendly, novel flame retardant ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material to meet market demand.
