Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing an inherently flame-retardant, highly elastic styrene-acrylic emulsion. Background Technology

[0002] Styrene-acrylic emulsions are emulsions prepared by polymerization under specific conditions, primarily using styrene and acrylate monomers, with the addition of small amounts of other compounds and additives. Their low cost makes them widely used in coatings and related fields. Traditional emulsion polymerization methods, due to the large amount of emulsifier added, lead to a decline in emulsion quality, resulting in problems such as yellowing and foul odor. One solution is to reduce the amount of emulsifier used by employing soap-free emulsion polymerization methods. Starch, as a widely available, inexpensive, green, environmentally friendly, and renewable resource, is a good alternative to traditional emulsifiers. By grafting cationic starch onto styrene-acrylic emulsions, emulsion products with good water resistance and film-forming properties can be prepared.

[0003] On the other hand, with social development and increased emphasis on safety, there is a growing demand for styrene-acrylic emulsions in areas such as flame retardant fabrics. Higher elasticity and better flame retardant properties are hot topics in the industry. Cashew nut shell oil, an agricultural byproduct distilled from natural cashew nut shell oil, has advantages such as wide availability, low price, environmental friendliness, and renewability. Its unique long-chain structure provides excellent toughness, while the rigid benzene rings offer a balance of rigidity and flexibility, making it a focus of attention in recent years.

[0004] Flame-retardant, high-elasticity cashew nut shell powder (CPFP) can be prepared by modifying its phenolic hydroxyl groups. This CPFP is then introduced into a styrene-acrylic emulsion system to produce a highly elastic, inherently flame-retardant styrene-acrylic emulsion. This invention first etherifies starch to make it cationic starch, which is then used in the flame-retardant modified cashew nut shell powder, styrene, acrylate, and acrylic acid graft emulsion polymerization to prepare a styrene-acrylic emulsion with high flame retardancy, high water resistance, and high elasticity. The preparation of this inherently flame-retardant, high-elasticity styrene-acrylic emulsion provides a new approach to address this market demand. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inherently flame-retardant, highly elastic styrene-acrylic emulsion.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the preparation method of the inherently flame-retardant high-elasticity styrene-acrylic emulsion of the present invention includes the following steps: first, a phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound is prepared using glycine, paraformaldehyde, and dimethyl phosphite as raw materials; then, the phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound is modified by acyl chloride; next, the acyl-modified phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound is reacted with phenolic hydroxy cashew phenol to obtain a highly flexible flame-retardant monomer; finally, the highly flexible flame-retardant monomer, styrene, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid are reacted in a cationic etherified starch aqueous solution to obtain the inherently flame-retardant high-elasticity styrene-acrylic emulsion.

[0007] The preparation method of the inherently flame-retardant, highly elastic styrene-acrylic emulsion of the present invention includes the following specific steps:

[0008] (1) Mix paraformaldehyde, glycine and tetrahydrofuran and heat to 60-70℃, then add dimethyl phosphite dropwise. After the addition is complete, continue to keep the temperature and react until the reaction is complete. After the reaction is complete, remove the solvent tetrahydrofuran and obtain a light yellow viscous liquid, which is the phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound. The code name of this phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound is HOOC-NP2.

[0009] (2) Dissolve the phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound in a solvent and add a catalyst. Add thionyl chloride dropwise at a temperature of 0-15℃. After the dropwise addition is complete, raise the temperature to 70-80℃ and continue to keep the reaction at this temperature until the reaction is complete to obtain a product solution. Add saturated saline and sodium hydroxide solution to the product solution to wash the product solution, and then separate the inorganic phase. Add anhydrous sodium sulfate to the organic phase for drying. After drying, separate the solid and liquid phases. Remove the solvent from the liquid product obtained from the solid-liquid separation to obtain the acyl chloride modified flame retardant functional monomer. The code of the acyl chloride modified flame retardant functional monomer is ClOC-NP2. The mass concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 5%. After washing, the organic phase and inorganic phase are generally separated by static layering. Then the inorganic phase is separated and the organic phase is retained.

[0010] (3) Mix phenolic hydroxy cashew phenol (CAS: 501-26-8) with a solvent and add triethylamine. Dissolve the acyl chloride-modified flame retardant functional monomer in the solvent to prepare a flame retardant functional monomer solution. Add the flame retardant functional monomer solution dropwise at -5℃. After the addition is complete, carry out a low-temperature reaction at -10-0℃, and then continue the reaction at 5-15℃ until the reaction is complete. After the reaction is complete, filter to obtain a liquid crude product. Wash the liquid crude product sequentially with acetic acid solution, NaOH solution, and saturated saline solution, and then dry it with anhydrous sodium sulfate. After drying, separate the solid and liquid to obtain a product solution. Remove the solvent from the product solution to obtain a light yellow viscous liquid, which is the high-flexibility flame retardant monomer. The mass concentrations of acetic acid solution and NaOH solution are 2% and 10%, respectively. The washing and drying operations are as follows: Add acetic acid solution to the liquid crude product for washing. After washing, let it stand and separate into layers. Separate the inorganic phase and retain the organic phase. Then add NaOH to the organic phase. The solution is washed, and after washing, it is allowed to stand and separate into layers, separating the inorganic phase and retaining the organic phase; then saturated saline solution is added to the organic phase for washing, and after washing, it is allowed to stand and separate into layers, separating the inorganic phase and retaining the organic phase; finally, anhydrous sodium sulfate is added to the organic phase for drying, and after drying, solid-liquid separation is performed.

[0011] (4) Mix starch and water, heat in a water bath to 40-60℃, add ammonia to adjust the pH to 8.5-10, add etherifying agent, keep warm and stir for 1-2 hours, add hydrogen peroxide, keep warm for 30-60 minutes, then heat to 70-90℃ and continue the reaction for 0.3-1 hours. After the reaction is complete, a transparent cationic etherified starch aqueous solution is obtained.

[0012] (5) Heat the cationic etherified starch aqueous solution to 60-85℃ in a water bath, add hydrogen peroxide and potassium persulfate aqueous solution dropwise, and keep the dropwise addition. Add high flexibility flame retardant monomer and styrene, and carry out a first polymerization reaction for 0.5-2 h. Then add butyl acrylate and acrylic acid, and carry out a second polymerization reaction for 0.5-2 h. At the same time as the second polymerization reaction is completed, add hydrogen peroxide and potassium persulfate aqueous solution dropwise. After the dropwise addition is completed, continue to keep the reaction at the temperature for 2-4 h. After the reaction is completed, adjust the pH of the reaction solution to 6-8 with ammonia water to obtain a slightly yellow milky white styrene-acrylic emulsion, which is the inherently flame retardant high elasticity styrene-acrylic emulsion.

[0013] The molar ratio of glycine, paraformaldehyde, and dimethyl phosphite is 1.0-1.2:2.0-4.0:4.0.

[0014] In step (1), after removing the solvent tetrahydrofuran, the following treatment is required: first, wash with a small amount of water, then dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and finally perform solid-liquid separation. The pale yellow viscous liquid obtained after solid-liquid separation is the phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound. The washing and drying operation is as follows: after washing with water, let it stand to separate into layers, separate the inorganic phase and retain the organic phase, and then add anhydrous sodium sulfate to the organic phase for drying.

[0015] In steps (1), (2), and (3), the dropping rate is 1-2 seconds / drop; in step (1), the time for continuing the reaction at a constant temperature after the dropping is completed is 7-9 hours; in step (2), the time for continuing the reaction at a constant temperature after the dropping is completed is 1-2 hours; in step (3), the time for both the low-temperature reaction and the temperature-controlled reaction after the dropping is completed is 7-9 hours.

[0016] In step (2), the molar ratio of thionyl chloride to the phosphorus-nitrogen integrated functional compound is 1.1-1.2:1.

[0017] In step (2), the catalyst is N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), n-dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, pyridine, or triethylamine; the amount of catalyst used is 3-6% of the mass of thionyl chloride.

[0018] In step (3), the molar ratio of phenolic hydroxy cashew phenol to acyl chloride modified flame retardant functional monomer is 1:1.0-1.2; the amount of triethylamine used is 0.5-1.2 times the mass of phenolic hydroxy cashew phenol.

[0019] In step (4), the mass ratio of starch to water is 1:1-1:4, the etherifying agent is 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride or 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, the amount of etherifying agent is 5%-20% of the starch mass, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 2-3%, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide is 0.5-2 times the starch mass.

[0020] In step (5), the amount of high-flexibility flame-retardant monomer used is 10%-30% of the mass of cationic etherified starch aqueous solution, the amount of styrene used is 0.5-5 times the mass of high-flexibility flame-retardant monomer, the amount of butyl acrylate used is 0.3-2 times the mass of high-flexibility flame-retardant monomer, and the amount of acrylic acid used is 0.05-0.5 times the mass of high-flexibility flame-retardant monomer; the amount of potassium persulfate used is 2%-10% of the total mass of high-flexibility flame-retardant monomer, styrene, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid; the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 2-3%, and the amount used is 0.3-1 times the total mass of high-flexibility flame-retardant monomer, styrene, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid.

[0021] In step (2), the solvent is dichloroethane or chloroform; in step (3), the solvent is dichloroethane or chloroform.

[0022] In step (1), the amount of tetrahydrofuran used as a solvent is limited to the point that it can completely dissolve paraformaldehyde and glycine during the reaction. However, in order to ensure smooth flow of the system during stirring and make the reaction more balanced within the system, the amount of tetrahydrofuran can be increased appropriately. Similarly, in steps (2) and (3), the amount of solvent used is also limited to the point that it can completely dissolve the raw materials. However, in order to ensure smooth flow of the system during stirring and make the reaction more balanced within the system, the amount of solvent used in steps (2) and (3) can be increased appropriately.

[0023] The reaction process in step (1) is shown in the following equation:

[0024] .

[0025] The reaction processes in steps (2) and (3) are shown in the following equation:

[0026] .

[0027] The reaction process in step (5) is shown in the following formula:

[0028] .

[0029] The advantages of this invention are that the prepared product simultaneously possesses multiple advantages such as flame retardancy, high elasticity, soap-free properties, and water resistance. Firstly, the flame-retardant function of this copolymer originates from the abundant flame-retardant groups in the high-phosphorus flame retardant with reactive functional groups; it is rich in phosphorus, halogen-free, environmentally friendly, and has a high char formation rate. Secondly, the high elasticity and toughening effect comes from the flexible groups in the functional monomer HOOC-NP2 and the large number of flexible segments in cashew nut shell phenol. Thirdly, the soap-free synthesis avoids the yellowing and foul odor problems caused by high emulsifier content. Fourthly, the water resistance is improved due to the cationization of starch. Fifthly, the inherently flame-retardant and high-elasticity emulsion of this invention allows for free adjustment of the proportions of flame-retardant groups, cashew nut shell phenol, styrene, acrylic acid, etc., and a reasonable proportion can optimize the copolymer's performance. This product is green, environmentally friendly, and low-cost, and has wide application value. Attached Figure Description
