Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of coating technology, and particularly relates to a high-carbon-layer-strength intumescent fireproof coating for steel structure and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the high strength-weight ratio, excellent toughness and ductility, durability and easy processability of steel, the steel becomes an ideal building material and an ideal material for large-span structures, high-rise buildings, bridges, stadiums and other engineering projects. However, although the melting point of steel is very high (about 1500℃), when the temperature reaches 500-600℃, the strength of the steel will rapidly decrease to about 50% of the initial strength; at the same time, due to the very good thermal conductivity of the steel, the steel will rapidly absorb heat in a fire, resulting in rapid temperature rise. If no fireproof measures are taken, the structure may lose its load-bearing capacity at the initial stage of the fire and may bend, deform or even collapse.

[0003] In practical applications, the steel structure must meet certain fire resistance limit and sufficient fire gap (usually 0.5-2h) is required, and the steel structure fireproof coating is one of the important means to achieve this. Fireproof coatings are divided into intumescent fireproof coatings and non-intumescent fireproof coatings. Among them, the intumescent fireproof coating can form an expanded carbon layer (thermal conductivity close to air) at high temperature, isolate the heat source from the air and reduce the temperature rise rate of the steel, which can significantly improve the fire resistance of the steel structure, thereby delaying the time of structural failure.

[0004] With the acceleration of urbanization, high-rise buildings, industrial plants, public transportation facilities and other places use a large amount of steel structure, and these places have strict requirements on fire safety. Fireproof coatings, as one of the effective fireproof means, are widely used. The building safety codes of various countries require that the steel structure must meet certain fire resistance rating, and the fireproof coating becomes one of the key materials to ensure the safety of steel buildings. At the same time, the fireproof coating has the characteristics of simple construction and low cost, and its economic benefits are obvious compared with traditional fireproof measures. In summary, the steel structure fireproof coating not only can effectively improve the fire resistance of the steel structure and protect the safety of the building, but also has wide applicability and economy under the driving of market demand. Therefore, the steel structure fireproof coating has a broad application prospect and important social value and commercial potential.

[0005] Although the steel structure fireproof coating has made significant progress through long-term development, the strength of the expanded carbon layer, a key factor, has not been given enough attention for a long time. In order to achieve a carbon layer that can block heat, the traditional intumescent fireproof coating excessively pursues the expansion performance or expansion ratio, but the actual fire resistance performance is not only related to the thickness of the carbon layer, and the mechanical strength and structural stability of the carbon layer also determine whether the fireproof coating can play a sustained and effective protective role in a fire.

[0006] The problem of insufficient strength of the expanded carbon layer is particularly prominent in practical applications. In a high-temperature environment, due to the impact of the flame, the intense airflow and the physical damage caused by the fire, the expanded carbon layer with low strength is prone to cracking, peeling and other phenomena, which exposes the steel to high temperature, greatly reduces the fire resistance limit. Therefore, the optimization of the strength of the expanded carbon layer is of great significance to improve the performance of the fireproof coating. The expanded carbon layer with high strength can better resist the damage of external physical impact and high-temperature airflow in the fire, thereby maintaining its heat insulation effect and prolonging the protection time of the steel structure.

[0007] In addition, in the prior art, the formula of the expanded fireproof coating is mostly a powder material, which is prone to poor component dispersion and other problems, which is another factor affecting its poor performance.

[0008] In summary, it is necessary to develop a new technical solution to solve the defects and deficiencies in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0009] The high-carbon-layer-strength expanded fireproof coating for steel structure has excellent carbon skeleton strength and carbon-steel adhesion strength, and can maintain its structural integrity under harsh conditions such as high temperature, burning and airflow injection, thereby maximizing the practical application performance of the expanded fireproof coating for steel structure and providing a better solution to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

[0037] Further, step S1 can be characterized by water dispersibility to determine whether the modification is successful, if the water dispersibility is significantly improved compared to before modification, the modification is successful, and can be used for the preparation of the fireproof coating.

[0038] Further, step S2 can also be characterized by water dispersibility to determine whether the modification is successful, if the water dispersibility is significantly improved compared to before modification, the modification is successful, and the agglomeration is further inhibited.

[0039] Further, step S3 can be characterized by the expansion ratio after heating and the expansion worm morphology to determine whether the modification is successful, if the expansion ratio after modification is higher and the worm thickness is more uniform, the modification is successful.

[0040] Further, in step S1, the heating temperature is 50-70℃.

[0041] Further, in step S1, the silane coupling agent is selected from one or more of monofunctional silane coupling agent, bifunctional silane coupling agent or other silane coupling agent.

[0042] Further, in step S2, the pH ranges from 9 to 10; the heating temperature is 50-70℃.

[0043] Further, in step S3, the acid is selected from one or more of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, or nitric acid.

[0044] Further, in step S3, the pH is in the range of 1-2.

[0045] The introduction of fiber materials, including inorganic fibers (glass fibers) and thermal fibers (expandable graphite fibers), into fireproof coatings can effectively increase the carbon skeleton strength and stability of the fireproof coatings. The fiber materials themselves can enhance the structural support of the carbon layer, acting as a skeleton support, and help form a more dense carbon layer structure. At the same time, due to their good tensile strength, they can improve the tensile strength of the carbon layer and resist internal stress changes caused by expansion during the expansion process, thereby reducing the formation of carbon layer cracks. Furthermore, their good heat resistance and oxidation resistance can improve the durability of the carbon layer, effectively prolonging the life of the carbon layer and improving the stability of the carbon layer under long-term high-temperature conditions.

[0046] Glass fibers are a commonly used reinforcing material, but their high cohesion and aspect ratio make it difficult for them to disperse uniformly in the coating system, thereby affecting the reinforcing effect.

[0047] Expandable graphite is a functional material prepared from natural flake graphite through a special process. It can rapidly expand under high-temperature conditions and exhibit a "fiber" worm-like shape, similar to the function of inorganic fiber weaving to reinforce the carbon layer, with an expansion rate of several tens or even hundreds of times. Traditional expandable graphite introduces an acidic intercalation agent into the interlayer structure of natural flake graphite. The intercalation agent generates gas upon heating, causing the graphite interlayer spacing to rapidly increase and resulting in expansion. However, during storage, the acidic interlayer of the graphite deteriorates to varying degrees, significantly affecting the actual application effect.

[0048] Titanium dioxide can catalyze the cross-linking reaction of organic components in the expanded carbon layer at high temperatures, generating more carbon-carbon bonds or carbon-oxygen bonds. These cross-linking reactions can make the expanded carbon layer more dense and stable, thereby improving the structural strength of the carbon layer. The denser the carbon layer, the more effectively it can block the penetration of heat and oxygen, thereby improving the fireproof performance. At the same time, at high temperatures, titanium dioxide can promote the formation of graphitized microcrystals in the expanded carbon layer. The graphitized microcrystal structure has high strength and thermal stability, which helps to improve the mechanical strength and crack resistance of the carbon layer, thereby enabling the carbon layer to maintain its structural stability in a high-temperature environment. However, due to its low surface activity, titanium dioxide can have poor compatibility and poor dispersibility with other components.

[0049] Aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) and boric acid (H3BO3) can undergo dehydration decomposition at high temperatures, producing aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and boron oxide (B2O3), respectively. These oxides can form stable chemical bonds, such as covalent or ionic bonds, with the iron oxides on the steel surface, greatly enhancing the chemical bonding between the steel substrate and the expanded carbon layer. At the same time, aluminum oxide and boron oxide also have good wettability, which can closely contact with the steel substrate surface during heating, thereby reducing the interfacial energy and improving the interfacial compatibility. This wetting effect enhances the adhesion of the carbon layer to the substrate, especially under high temperature conditions, where the oxides fill the micro-pores on the steel surface, providing more stable physical bonding. In addition, the aluminum oxide layer produced by the decomposition of aluminum hydroxide is a highly efficient physical barrier that can reduce the penetration of heat and oxygen, thereby protecting the steel substrate surface from high-temperature oxidation. This protective effect makes the expanded carbon layer more stable. In addition, aluminum hydroxide and boric acid are also excellent flame retardants, which can provide good fire protection by themselves.

[0050] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0051] (1) The modified expandable graphite of the present application has significantly improved performance in expanding when exposed to fire after surface treatment with acid, forming loose and porous expanded worms with super large specific surface area. In the event of fire, aluminum hydroxide and boric acid can be dispersed into the pores of these expanded worms, enhancing the strength of the expanded carbon layer; at the same time, the fully dispersed aluminum hydroxide and boric acid greatly increase the contact area with the steel, and then interact with the steel through chemical bonding, physical bonding and other ways, greatly improving the carbon-steel adhesion strength, giving the material stability and durability in high temperature and harsh environments, avoiding the phenomenon of cracking and peeling of the expanded carbon layer, and improving the fire resistance limit. In addition, aluminum hydroxide and boric acid, as excellent inorganic flame retardants, can be used in combination with organic expanded flame retardant systems to synergistically enhance the flame retardant ability of the flame retardant system, achieving a 1+1>2 effect.

[0052] (2) The present application greatly improves the strength and stability of the expanded carbon layer by adding modified nano-titanium dioxide, modified expandable graphite and modified glass fiber and other materials in the high-carbon-layer-strength intumescent fireproof coating for steel structure. On the one hand, for the glass fiber, the surface is etched by alkali treatment to increase the surface roughness, thereby improving the specific surface area of the fiber material and the physical bonding force with the coating matrix, and at the same time, the dispersibility is also increased. On the other hand, for the expandable graphite, the strength of the expanded worm is higher after surface treatment with acid, the fiber diameter is uniform, the reinforcing effect on the expanded carbon layer is more significant, and since no acidic intercalating agent is used, there is no problem of acidic intercalation degradation, and the performance is more stable. In addition, by modifying the titanium dioxide with silane coupling agent, the water dispersibility is improved, the interfacial bonding force is enhanced, the compatibility between the organic coating matrix and the coating is improved, the water resistance is improved, and the reactivity with the carbon layer at high temperature is also improved, the durability and mechanical strength are improved, the structural rigidity of the carbon layer is further improved, and the performance is more stable under extreme conditions such as fire. The present application can maximize the strength of the carbon skeleton by the above-mentioned modified nano-titanium dioxide, modified expandable graphite and modified glass fiber, so that it can better resist the damage of external physical impact and high-temperature airflow in fire, thereby maintaining its heat insulation effect and prolonging the protection time of the steel structure. At the same time, the compatibility between the coating components is also improved, and the uniformity and stability of the coating are improved.

[0053] (3) The intumescent fireproof coating for steel structure of the present technical solution is simple in process, only a slight adjustment is made to the original formula process, and existing multi-color coating production enterprises can produce the product without greatly changing the production line, thereby ensuring the continuity of production and the benefits of producing different grades on the same production line.
