Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of casting auxiliary materials, in particular to a chilled phenolic resin and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Binder jetting 3D printing is an industrial-grade additive manufacturing technology that selectively bonds powdered materials by spraying a binder onto a powder bed, creating a three-dimensional object layer by layer. This technology offers advantages such as low equipment cost, fast printing speed, and suitability for large-scale and multi-material printing. Currently, the binders used for sand bonding in casting 3D printing primarily include furan resin, inorganic binders, and phenolic resin. These three types of binders have distinct characteristics and are used in different scenarios.

[0003] Furan resin binders offer advantages such as high strength, rapid room-temperature hardening, and a high sand regeneration rate. However, they produce a strong pungent odor during hardening of the sand mold and have poor high-temperature resistance, making them unsuitable for the production of steel castings. Inorganic silicate binders offer advantages such as a simple production process, no odor, and low VOC emissions, making them particularly advantageous in non-ferrous alloy casting. However, their slow room-temperature hardening, low strength, and poor high-temperature resistance limit their application in the casting field. Phenolic resin binders offer advantages such as good high-temperature resistance, high bond strength, good water solubility, high residual carbon content, low smoke and toxicity, and chemical resistance, and are widely used in numerous industries. However, phenolic resin is brittle and prone to self-polymerization, which increases the resin's viscosity and shortens its shelf life. This can also lead to nozzle clogging and frame dropouts during printing, limiting its application in the 3D casting industry.

[0004] Patent CN104817665A discloses an alkaline phenolic resin for 3D printing and its preparation method. The binder is highly alkaline and will corrode the equipment over a long period of use, reducing the equipment's service life. In addition, the resin easily self-polymerizes during storage, causing the viscosity to increase, thereby clogging the printer nozzle and affecting the use effect. The binder has a short shelf life when stored at room temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, in order to solve the technical problems that alkaline phenolic resins are prone to corroding 3D printing equipment, clogging print heads, and have a short storage period, the present invention provides a cold-hardening phenolic resin for 3D printing that is weakly alkaline, has a long shelf life when stored at room temperature, does not clog print heads, and can be hardened at room temperature.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A cold-hard phenolic resin comprises, by weight percentage, 15% to 25% of a phenolic compound, 20% to 35% of an aldehyde compound, 2.5% to 6% of an alkaline catalyst, 0.5% to 1.5% of a modifier, 0.8% to 2% of an aldehyde scavenger, 20% to 32% of water, 8% to 18% of an alcohol compound, 0.3% to 1% of a pH regulator, 0.5% to 1% of a silane coupling agent, and 0.05% to 0.3% of a surfactant; the phenolic compound comprises at least one of phenol, bisphenol A, and cardanol; and the aldehyde compound is liquid formaldehyde.

[0008] Furthermore, the alkaline catalyst includes at least one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia water, and triethylamine.

[0009] Furthermore, the modifier is a mixture of hexamethylenetetramine, sodium lignin sulfonate and tung oil, wherein the ratio of the added amounts of hexamethylenetetramine, sodium lignin sulfonate and tung oil is preferably 3:2:5.

[0010] Furthermore, the formaldehyde remover includes at least one of urea, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, sodium sulfite, and melamine.

[0011] Furthermore, the alcohol compound includes a high-boiling point alcohol compound and a low-boiling point alcohol compound; the ratio of the added amount of the high-boiling point alcohol compound to the low-boiling point alcohol compound is 1 to 4:1.

[0012] Wherein, the high-boiling-point alcohol compound includes at least one of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol; the low-boiling-point alcohol compound includes at least one of isopropanol, methanol and ethanol.

[0013] Furthermore, the pH adjuster includes at least one of formic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, and salicylic acid.

[0014] Furthermore, the surfactant includes at least one of a phosphate compound, an acetylene glycol compound, a polyether-modified alcohol compound, and an alkyl sulfate compound.

[0015] Furthermore, the silane coupling agent includes at least one of KH-560, KH-602, A-151, and KH-792.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present application further provides a preparation method, which is applied to any of the above-mentioned cold-hard phenolic resins, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0017] S1, adding the phenolic compound into the reactor, stirring and heating, raising the temperature to 40°C to 50°C; adding the alkaline catalyst into the reactor, stirring for 10min to 20min;

[0018] S2. Add the aldehyde compound into the reaction kettle, raise the temperature to 70°C to 80°C, and stir for 90min to 150min;

[0019] S3, adding the alkaline catalyst and the modifier into the reactor, heating to 80°C to 90°C, and stirring for 90min to 150min;

[0020] S4, add the formaldehyde removal agent into the reactor and stir for 20min to 40min;

[0021] S5, cooling to 55°C to 65°C, adding the water and the alcohol compound into the reactor, and stirring for 20min to 40min;

[0023] S7. Cooling to below 40° C., adding the silane coupling agent and the surfactant, and stirring for 20 to 40 minutes.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the method of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The cold-hardening phenolic resin disclosed in the present invention has a low alkali addition amount and a weakly alkaline pH value. It is more friendly to the pipes, nozzles and other parts of the 3D printing equipment that directly contact the resin, has low corrosiveness, and extends the service life of the equipment. The weak alkalinity of the resin can also delay the resin's own polycondensation, reduce the viscosity growth trend of the resin during storage, and increase the storage time of the resin; the alcohol solvent of the bonding system adopts a mixed form of a high-boiling point solvent and a low-boiling point solvent to ensure that the resin has a stable low viscosity and extend the shelf life of the resin at room temperature to 3-6 months. When the cold-hardening phenolic resin of the present invention is stored at 20°C for 30 days, the resin viscosity growth rate is controlled at 3% to 7%.

[0026] The chilled phenolic resin disclosed in the present invention incorporates methenamine, lignin salt, and tung oil as modifiers, effectively increasing the curing speed and toughness of the phenolic resin, improving the surface quality of printed products, and increasing the tensile strength of printed products by 5%-10%. The chilled phenolic resin, when combined with an organic ester curing agent, can be cured at room temperature when used to print sand molds, eliminating the need for heating equipment. This avoids the irritating odor generated by heating phenolic resin sand molds, improves the working environment, reduces energy consumption, and lowers production costs by 10%-20%. The chilled phenolic resin disclosed in the present invention has a simple preparation process, a short production period, and is easy to operate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant examples. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are provided in the examples. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] One of the purposes of the present invention is to disclose a cold-hard phenolic resin, which comprises, by weight percentage, 15% to 25% of a phenolic compound, 20% to 35% of an aldehyde compound, 2.5% to 6% of a basic catalyst, 0.5% to 1.5% of a modifier, 0.8% to 2% of a formaldehyde scavenger, 20% to 32% of water, 8% to 18% of an alcohol compound, 0.3% to 1% of a pH regulator, 0.5% to 1% of a silane coupling agent and 0.05% to 0.3% of a surfactant.

[0030] The phenolic compound may be at least one of phenol, bisphenol A, and cardanol. The aldehyde compound may be liquid formaldehyde. The alkaline catalyst may be at least one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, aqueous ammonia, and triethylamine. The modifier may be a mixture of urotropine, sodium lignin sulfonate, and tung oil, preferably with the ratio of urotropine: sodium lignin sulfonate: tung oil being 3:2:5. The addition of urotropine, lignin salt, and tung oil as modifiers during the synthesis of the phenolic resin product can improve the curing speed and toughness of the phenolic resin, making its sand mold strength comparable to, or even superior to, that of ordinary alkaline phenolic resin.

[0031] The formaldehyde scavenger can be at least one of urea, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, sodium sulfite, and melamine. Adding the formaldehyde scavenger reduces the free formaldehyde content to below 0.1%, significantly reducing the pungent odor of the phenolic resin and improving the 3D printing working environment. Alcohol compounds include high-boiling point alcohol compounds and low-boiling point alcohol compounds, with the ratio of the two added being 1 to 4:1, preferably 1 to 2.5:1. A mixture of high-boiling point and low-boiling point solvents ensures that the phenolic resin has a usable and stable low viscosity, good storage stability, and a shelf life of 3-6 months at room temperature. The high-boiling point alcohol compound can be at least one of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol; the low-boiling point alcohol compound can be at least one of isopropyl alcohol, methanol, and ethanol. The pH adjuster can be at least one of formic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, and salicylic acid.

[0032] The present invention requires only 2.5% to 6% of the alkaline catalyst, and a pH adjuster is added to adjust the pH to 8 to 9. The weakly alkaline environment slows down the self-polymerization of the phenolic resin, making the resin more stable. It is also more friendly to the nozzle and equipment, extending the equipment lifecycle. The surfactant can be at least one of a phosphate ester compound, an acetylenic diol compound, a polyether-modified alcohol compound, and an alkyl sulfate compound. The silane coupling agent can be at least one of KH-560, KH-602, A-151, and KH-792.

[0033] A second object of the present invention is to disclose a method for preparing any of the above-mentioned cold-hard phenolic resins, which may include the following steps:

[0034] S1. Add 15% to 25% of phenolic compound into a reactor, start stirring and heating, and raise the temperature to 40°C to 50°C; add 1% to 3% of alkaline catalyst into the reactor and stir for 10min to 20min;

[0035] S2. Add 20% to 35% of aldehyde compound into the reactor, heat to 70°C to 80°C, and stir for 90min to 150min;

[0036] S3. Add 1.5% to 3% of alkaline catalyst and 0.5% to 1.5% of modifier into the reactor, heat to 80°C to 90°C, and stir for 90min to 150min;

[0037] S4. Add 0.8% to 2% formaldehyde remover into the reactor and stir for 20 to 40 minutes;

[0038] S5. Cool down to 55-65°C, add 20%-32% water and 8%-18% alcohol compound into the reactor, and stir for 20-40 minutes;

[0039] S6. Add 0.3% to 1% pH regulator to the reactor, adjust the pH to 8 to 9, and stir for 20 to 40 minutes;

[0040] S7. Cooling to below 40° C., adding 0.5% to 1% of a silane coupling agent and 0.05% to 0.3% of a surfactant, and stirring for 20 to 40 minutes to obtain the cold-hard phenolic resin of the present invention.

[0041] In the embodiments disclosed in the present invention, the cold-hard phenolic resin may further include 0.5% to 1% of a polymerization inhibitor, which may be hydroquinone. Adding hydroquinone as a polymerization inhibitor can consume free radicals in the system, slowing down the polymerization rate of the resin. In combination with the weak alkalinity of the resin, it can also slow down the condensation of the resin itself. The two together effectively reduce the viscosity growth trend of the resin during storage, further extending the shelf life of the resin. Hydroquinone contains two phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can combine with active free radicals in the resin bonding system to form a quinone structure, terminate the free radical chain reaction, and slow down the polymerization rate. Hydroquinone can remove oxygen from the system, preventing cross-linking reactions initiated by oxygen, making the phenolic resin reaction more controllable. Hydroquinone can also regulate reaction activity. During the condensation reaction, hydroquinone can consume a portion of formaldehyde or intermediate free radicals to control the reaction rate. In addition, hydroquinone has good thermal stability and can maintain the stability of the bonding system under high temperature conditions.

[0042] It should be noted that, during the preparation of the cold-hard phenolic resin, hydroquinone should be added to the reactor together with the phenolic compound in step S1.

[0043] The cold-hardening phenolic resin of the present invention is used in combination with an organic ester curing agent for binder jetting 3D printing casting sand molds. The cold-hardening phenolic resin can self-harden at room temperature without the need for heating equipment, thereby reducing production costs by 10% to 20%. In addition, the phenolic resin product has a long storage period and is free of print head corrosion and clogging.
