Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polyurethane foam materials, and in particular to a heat-insulating and high-temperature-resistant polyurethane rigid foam material and a low-temperature preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Polyurethane foam is widely used in construction, energy, transportation, and other fields due to its excellent thermal insulation, lightweight, and designability. In southern regions like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, where heating facilities are not installed during winter, stringent requirements are placed on polyurethane foam: it must be constructed in low-temperature environments while being resistant to high temperatures and maintaining low thermal conductivity and structural stability. However, the main raw materials for polyurethane foam are currently composed of polyol and isocyanate components. At temperatures as low as 10°C, the foaming rate of these two components decreases or even stops foaming.
[0003] The blowing agent currently used is mostly HCFC-141B, which has a boiling point of 32°C. When the ambient temperature and substrate temperature drop, more heat needs to be condensed during the foaming process to ensure that the physical blowing agent can be vaporized to form polyurethane foam. For example, in order to ensure the progress of the foaming process at a lower temperature, it is often necessary to adjust the heat generated during the foaming process to ensure the smooth progress of the foaming process, such as increasing the amount of chemical blowing agent water or increasing the amount of catalyst in the foaming process, so that it can quickly generate a large amount of heat to counteract the drop in ambient temperature. However, this will cause the temperature inside the foam to rise rapidly. If not controlled properly, it will cause spontaneous combustion and harm the foaming process.
[0004] Some researchers have also used the method of mixing low-temperature foaming agents into component B to solve the problem of high viscosity at low temperatures. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the announcement number CN111647190B adopts the method of changing the formula of components A and B and adding low-temperature foaming agents so that component B can be mixed evenly at 0°C, while component A can be mixed evenly at 50°C, thereby achieving the mixing and foaming of the two components at room temperature. This solves the problem that many low-boiling-point environmentally friendly foaming agents have very low boiling points. When used as components of component A, the material temperature must reach an ultra-low temperature state to prevent overflow. At low temperatures, the viscosity of polyether is high and the viscosity is even higher, making production impossible. Summary of the Invention

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0055] The polyurethane foam provided by the present invention, which is suitable for preparation in low-temperature environments and has both thermal insulation and high-temperature resistance, achieves performance breakthroughs through multi-dimensional technological innovation, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
[0056] (1) Optimized preparation of low-temperature dispersibility and application of high-temperature resistance
[0057] The high-temperature-resistant powder used in this invention is bismaleimide. In the prior art, this is often introduced into the polyurethane foam preparation process as a solid powder. However, as the temperature decreases, the medium viscosity increases, particle mobility and dispersion efficiency decrease, and the particle surface charge or dispersant adsorption decreases, resulting in poor powder dispersibility and increased agglomeration. In this invention, by utilizing bismaleimide to undergo a DA reaction with furan rings, gradually liquefying and dissolving it in a polyol (castor oil or epoxy castor oil), the risks of uneven dispersion of the powder material during the polyurethane foaming process, leading to uneven high-temperature resistance, and reduced foam performance due to powder agglomeration, are avoided. This establishes a foundation for uniform foam performance from the raw material dispersion stage.
[0058] (2) High-efficiency liquefaction reaction process
[0059] This invention uses castor oil as the reaction medium and a Lewis acid (such as stannous chloride or stannous octoate) as a catalyst to accelerate the DA reaction, achieving liquefaction of the bismaleimide powder. Therefore, this process can be achieved without requiring the DA reaction to complete. At 70-80°C, adding 1% catalyst can liquefy the bismaleimide powder through the DA reaction with a furan ring compound within 3 hours. Once the reaction reaches approximately 50% completion, the powder can be used for subsequent polyurethane formulation. This process overcomes the traditional limitation of requiring the DA reaction to complete, allowing subsequent formulation to begin during a partial reaction phase (approximately 50% completion), significantly shortening the production cycle and improving industrial production efficiency.
[0060] (3) Catalyst function reuse and process simplification
[0061] The Lewis acid used in this invention (such as stannous chloride or stannous octoate) exhibits dual catalytic activity. First, it accelerates the bismaleimide (DA) reaction during the DA reaction, achieving liquefaction. Second, it acts as a post-catalyst during the polyurethane foaming stage, reducing the amount of foaming catalysts such as pentamethyldiethylenetriamine. This dual-purpose design simplifies the formulation, reduces raw material costs, and avoids the process complexity associated with the synergistic use of multiple catalysts.
[0062] (4) Co-design of polyol base material performance
[0063] In the present invention, castor oil or epoxy castor oil is selected as the DA reaction medium and as the main polyol of the polyurethane foam. The reason is that the polyol (castor oil or epoxy castor oil) has excellent high-temperature and low-temperature resistance. Its good high-temperature resistance cooperates with bismaleimide to ultimately achieve the high-temperature resistance of the polyurethane foam. In addition, its fluidity and low viscosity under low-temperature conditions ensure the smooth progress of the spraying process of polyurethane foam molding, achieving dual compatibility between material properties and processing technology.
[0064] (5) Intelligent regulation of thermoreversible cross-linking structures
[0065] Bismaleimide and furan compounds undergo a DA reaction in a polyol, introducing a thermally reversible DA adduct into the polyurethane system. During the foaming process, the DA adduct's thermal reversible properties enable the dual advantages of "heat absorption and temperature control—low-temperature reconstruction." On the one hand, when foaming releases instantaneous high heat, causing the system temperature to rise sharply, the DA adduct undergoes a reverse reaction to absorb some of the heat, effectively suppressing the temperature peak, avoiding the risk of spontaneous combustion due to local overheating, and ensuring the safety of the foaming process. On the other hand, after the foam is prepared, as the temperature drops, the reactants generated by the reverse reaction regenerate the DA adduct through a forward DA reaction, supplementing the polyurethane network to form a rigid cross-linked structure. The furan and maleimide rings enhance the high-temperature resistance and mechanical stability of the polyurethane foam, achieving synergistic optimization of thermal runaway prevention and control during processing and maintaining high performance of the final material.
[0066] (6) Synergistic effect of composite foaming agent system
[0067] A unique foaming system is created by combining a low-boiling-point primary blowing agent (1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane / chlorotrifluoropropylene) with methyl formate (optimally in the mass ratio range of 7-9:1). The primary blowing agent reduces the total heat required for vaporization, while methyl formate, with its excellent solvent properties, reduces system viscosity, addressing fluidity issues associated with low-temperature processing. This combination precisely controls foam dimensional stability, avoiding density variations and performance degradation caused by mismatched ratios.
[0068] (7) Preparation process window for precise temperature control
[0069] The optimal preparation temperature of material A (polyurethane composite material) and material B (polyisocyanate) provided by the present invention is not higher than 15°C to prevent serious volatilization of the foaming agent, which causes loss of the foaming agent before foaming, resulting in increased foam density and affecting the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the polyurethane foam.

[0151] Comparative Example
[0152] In this comparative example, the reaction time in the preparation method of furan / maleimide DA adduct was regulated, and it was found that:
[0153] The preparation steps are consistent with step S1 in Example 1, except for the reaction time.
[0154] When the reaction time is 1.5 h, no light yellow transparent liquid is obtained, and after stopping the reaction, powders are continuously precipitated, resulting in stratification.
[0155] A reaction time of 3 hours can avoid the problem of stratification caused by precipitation of the prepared DA adduct during storage. This problem can also be achieved when the time is further extended, but it does not significantly improve the performance. Instead, it increases the time and energy consumption of the entire reaction process.
[0156] Test analysis:
[0157] The polyurethane foam prepared in the above example was subjected to performance tests, including foam density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, foam size change rate after insulation at 250°C for 5 minutes, and thermogravimetric analysis test of foam mass loss rate at 250°C. The results are shown in Table 1:

[0160] In summary, this invention utilizes a DA reaction to liquefy and disperse bismaleimide powder in a polyol (such as castor oil or epoxy castor oil). Lewis acid catalysis shortens the reaction time and is reused as a foaming catalyst. Combined with the excellent high- and low-temperature performance of the polyol, a thermoreversible DA adduct is introduced to achieve endothermic temperature control during the foaming process and reconstruct a rigid cross-linked structure at low temperatures. A low-boiling point primary blowing agent is combined with methyl formate to reduce the heat of vaporization and system viscosity, and the A / B material preparation temperature is controlled to ≤15°C to avoid blowing agent loss. This solution addresses the challenges of powder dispersion, viscosity control, and foaming stability at low temperatures, resulting in foams with excellent thermal insulation and high-temperature resistance.
[0161] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art may make various variations or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention.
