Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically to a polycarbonate composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance engineering plastic with excellent overall properties, including high mechanical strength, good impact toughness, dimensional stability, good heat resistance, and good electrical insulation. It has wide applications in home appliances, digital products, IT products, and other fields. Due to these superior properties, PC is widely used in electronics, home appliances, office automation systems, power tools, batteries, charging stations, laptops, and other industries and products. The application of PC in these products also places certain demands on its flame-retardant properties.

[0003] For products in industries such as audio and communications, the mandatory national standard GB4943.1-2022 "Audio-visual, information technology and communication technology equipment, Part 1: Safety requirements" was officially promulgated on July 19, 2022, fully replacing the requirements of GB4943.1-2011 and GB 8898-2011. Among the changes regarding material flame retardancy, the addition of stringent needle flame test requirements is a significant improvement. Currently available halogen-free flame-retardant PC materials cannot meet both the 1.5mm V-0 flame retardant safety requirements and the needle flame test requirements. This failure is mainly manifested by dripping during vertical burning tests or perforation during needle flame burning. Existing halogen-free flame-retardant PC materials typically exhibit one of these two failure modes. Furthermore, achieving V-0 flame retardancy with a thickness below 1.5mm currently requires the use of an anti-dripping agent, PTFE, to prevent dripping and ignition failure during combustion. However, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) severely affects the material's transparency and cannot meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations regarding low-fluorine and fluorine-free content.

[0004] Therefore, this application is submitted. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a polycarbonate composition, its preparation method and application. The polycarbonate composition achieves a V-0 vertical burning rating at 1.5mm, meets the needle flame test, and has excellent transparency. It also has high toughness and is very suitable for manufacturing electronic and electrical products, especially for manufacturing speakers and communication equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A polycarbonate composition comprising the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts polycarbonate, 4-42 parts first siloxane copolymer polycarbonate, 2-21 parts second siloxane copolymer polycarbonate, 0.08-1.1 parts sulfonate flame retardant, 3.5-11 parts first montmorillonite, and 1.8-9 parts second montmorillonite;

[0008] The mass percentage of siloxane in the first siloxane copolymer polycarbonate is ≤6%;

[0009] The second siloxane copolymer polycarbonate contains ≥9% siloxane by mass;

[0010] The average particle size of the first montmorillonite is 8–15 μm;

[0011] The average particle size of the second montmorillonite is 0.5–5 μm.

[0012] This invention creatively combines the above-mentioned raw materials, using polycarbonate as the matrix. Through the combined action of the first siloxane copolymer polycarbonate, the second siloxane copolymer polycarbonate, the first montmorillonite, the second montmorillonite, and the sulfonate flame retardant, the flame retardant properties of polycarbonate are effectively improved. The vertical burning rating of 1.5mm reaches V-0, while also meeting the needle flame test requirements. It also has excellent transparency and high toughness, making it very suitable for manufacturing electronic and electrical products, especially for manufacturing speakers and communication equipment.

[0013] In the polycarbonate matrix system of this invention, the first siloxane copolymer polycarbonate component with low siloxane content can migrate to the carbon layer surface to form a dense isolation layer, while the second siloxane copolymer polycarbonate component with high siloxane content mainly plays a reinforcing role during the char formation process, forming a robust support layer and isolation layer within the carbon layer. Furthermore, the high siloxane content results in poor dispersion, affecting the material's transparency. The first and second montmorillonite components can form a physical barrier at high temperatures, preventing flame spread and oxygen entry. The carbon layer formed by the siloxane copolymer polycarbonate component complements the physical barrier formed by the montmorillonite, while the organosilicon polymer network formed by the siloxanes... The intertwined physical barriers formed by the network structure and montmorillonite enhance the flame retardant and mechanical properties of PC. The migration and enrichment of siloxane copolymer polycarbonate further promotes the dispersion and flame retardant effect of montmorillonite in PC. Different particle sizes of first and second montmorillonite, combined with siloxane copolymer polycarbonate and second siloxane copolymer polycarbonate with different siloxane contents, allow silicon to participate in the formation of a carbon layer structure during combustion. This results in a higher strength carbon layer, which better insulates against heat and oxygen, achieving rapid flame retardancy. Simultaneously, it improves the dispersibility of sulfonate flame retardants in the system, effectively enhancing flame retardancy and transparency.

[0038] Preferably, the weight ratio of the sum of the first siloxane copolymer polycarbonate and the second siloxane copolymer polycarbonate to the sulfonate flame retardant is (18-300):1.
