Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wood-plastic composite materials, and particularly relates to a flame-retardant wood-plastic composite material. Background Art

[0002] Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC), an environmentally friendly building material composed of wood fibers (such as wood flour and bamboo powder) and thermoplastics (such as polyethylene and polypropylene), combines the processability of wood with the corrosion resistance of plastic. It is widely used in outdoor flooring, guardrails, decorative panels, and other applications. Compared to pure wood, WPC offers advantages such as moisture resistance, insect resistance, and recyclability, making it particularly well-suited to the trend of green building. However, both the wood fibers and the plastic matrix in traditional WPC are combustible materials, with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) generally below 22%. When exposed to open flames, they easily burn and release large amounts of smoke, posing a high risk of fire spread. This limitation severely limits its application in applications such as building formwork and high-rise building exterior walls, which require strict fire resistance ratings (such as Class B1 and above in GB 8624-2012, "Classification of Combustion Performance of Building Materials and Products"), and has become a key technical bottleneck hindering its market expansion.

[0003] To improve the flame retardancy of WPC, existing technologies primarily employ the addition of inorganic flame retardants (such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide) or intumescent flame retardants (such as ammonium polyphosphate and pentaerythritol). For example, Chinese patent application CN102731935A discloses a WPC with 30% aluminum hydroxide added, but its flexural strength decreases by over 40% compared to the unadded WPC, and the high loading leads to poor processing fluidity. Chinese patent application CN103709623A attempts to improve flame retardancy by compounding magnesium hydroxide with zinc borate, but the flame retardant exhibits poor interfacial adhesion with the substrate and easily agglomerates during extrusion, resulting in surface defects and uneven mechanical properties. Furthermore, some studies have employed coating with red phosphorus or nano-montmorillonite for modification. While these methods can reduce the amount of flame retardant required, red phosphorus readily absorbs moisture and releases toxic phosphine gas, making dispersion of nanomaterials difficult and limiting their practical application. All of the above solutions face the contradiction of "flame retardancy-mechanics-cost" being difficult to optimize in a coordinated manner: improving flame retardancy efficiency often comes at the expense of material strength or increasing production costs, while low-cost flame retardant systems are difficult to meet the dual requirements of building formwork for bearing capacity and durability.

[0004] As the construction industry's requirements for construction safety and formwork turnover efficiency become increasingly stringent, the heavy weight of traditional steel formwork and the susceptibility to deformation and mildew of bamboo and wood formwork have become increasingly prominent, creating an urgent need for lightweight, high-strength, and flame-retardant alternatives. However, existing WPC building formwork, due to its insufficient flame retardancy, is easily ignited by common fire sources on construction sites, such as high-temperature welding and electric welding sparks. Burning also produces molten droplets, posing a risk of secondary ignition. Furthermore, building formwork must withstand the lateral pressure of concrete pouring and the impact of repeated assembly and disassembly, placing stringent demands on the material's flexural strength (≥25MPa), water absorption (<3%), and weather resistance. Therefore, developing a wood-plastic composite material with efficient flame retardant dispersion, stable mechanical properties, and environmental friendliness, and achieving its large-scale application in building formwork, has become a pressing need for technological advancement in this field.

[0074] Performance testing: Oxygen index 34.0%, UL-94 V-0 grade, flexural strength 27.5MPa, water absorption 2.0%, turnover number 15 times.

[0075] Comparative Example 1: Formula: Same as Example 1, but aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide is not surface treated.

[0076] Performance testing: Oxygen index 28.5%, UL-94 V-2 grade (molten droplets ignite absorbent cotton); Flexural strength 21.4MPa, tensile strength 14.2MPa; The flame retardant agglomerates obviously and the extruded surface is rough.

Necessity of modified flame retardants and synergistic systems: 1) Comparative Examples 1 / 2 show that when the flame retardant is not modified or the synergist is missing, the oxygen index decreases by 5-7% and the mechanical properties decrease by 20%-30%; 2) Synergists (zinc borate + red phosphorus) achieve gas-phase-condensed phase synergistic flame retardancy through catalytic carbonization and free radical capture.

[0086] ,Key functions of surface coating: 1) Example 5 shows that the water absorption rate exceeds the standard (>4%) when the coating is not applied, and the number of turnovers is less than 10 times; 2) Polyurethane-ammonium polyphosphate coating can seal surface pores and inhibit burning droplets.
