Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flame-retardant polymer materials, and in particular to a method for preparing a green bio-based composite flame retardant coating and application of the coating in polyurethane foam. Background Art

[0002] Polyurethane foam (PUF) is widely used in electronics, transportation, building materials, and household products, and has become an indispensable part of modern life. However, PU foam is flammable, releasing large amounts of heat, toxic gases, and smoke. This poses a significant threat to human life and property, and can also lead to serious problems such as environmental pollution. Therefore, flame-retardant treatment of PU foam is crucial to reducing its fire safety risks.

[0003] Additive flame retardants come in both liquid and solid forms. Solid flame retardants are difficult to disperse, and when added in large quantities, the system viscosity increases, making processing difficult and leading to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the substrate material. Liquid flame retardants are also less stable and can migrate during use, causing flame retardancy to decrease over time. Reactive flame retardants effectively address the issues of migration and precipitation of additive flame retardants while having minimal impact on the performance of the substrate itself. However, these reactive flame retardants require a high degree of reactivity in the foaming substrate and still suffer from complex molecular design, cumbersome preparation processes, and high application costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this application provides a green, bio-based composite flame-retardant coating. This coating utilizes the cross-linking and intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the abundant amino groups in modified chitosan, the abundant amino groups in gelatin, and the phosphate groups and ammonium ions in ammonium polyphosphate, along with physically exfoliated sodium montmorillonite, to form a uniform and stable sol-gel solution (DCS / DEL / APP / MMT) in water and ethanol solvents. This multi-component flame retardant enhances the flame retardancy of polyurethane foam through synergistic action, addressing existing flame-retardant coating issues such as uneven distribution of the multi-phase flame retardant system, poor adhesion between the coating and the substrate, and the need for repeated deposition of the coating.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present application provides a method for preparing a green bio-based composite flame retardant coating, comprising the following steps: S1. Dissolve p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in tetrahydrofuran, then add triethylamine, transfer the mixture into a reactor, and then dropwise add diphenyldichlorosilane into the reactor, stir, filter, and rotary evaporate to obtain 4,4'-(diphenylsilanediyl)bis(oxy)dibenzaldehyde; the reaction formula is as follows:

[0006] S2. Add chitosan to methanol and stir, then add 4,4'-(diphenylsilanediyl)bis(oxy)benzaldehyde, heat and stir, then cool, filter, wash and dry to obtain modified chitosan; the chemical formula is:

[0007] S3, adding the modified chitosan to deionized water, adjusting the pH, stirring, heating, and then adding gelatin and stirring to obtain a modified chitosan / gelatin mixed solution; S4, adding ammonium polyphosphate to anhydrous ethanol, ultrasonicating, stirring, and then adding to the modified chitosan / gelatin mixture, heating and stirring to obtain a mixture A; S5. Dispersing sodium montmorillonite in deionized water, ultrasonicating and stirring to obtain dispersion B; S6. Add the dispersion B to the mixed solution A, heat, stir, and allow to stand to obtain a green bio-based composite flame retardant coating.

[0008] In the above process, chitosan is one of the most commonly used carbon-forming agents in intumescent flame retardants, and has the characteristics of biodegradability, high thermal stability and antibacterial properties; ammonium polyphosphate absorbs a large amount of heat when thermally decomposed, reducing the temperature of the substrate, and at the same time releases non-combustible gases to dilute the oxygen concentration and delay the combustion process; gelatin exhibits rich reactive groups and high nitrogen content, and can be used as a carbonizing agent; sodium montmorillonite, as a natural inorganic material, has a unique two-dimensional layered structure that can effectively suppress the smoke produced during combustion.

[0009] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the added amounts of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and triethylamine in step S1 is 1:1-2.

[0010] Furthermore, the temperature of the rotary evaporation is 45-55°C.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S2, the molar ratio of the chitosan to 4,4'-(diphenylsilanediyl)bis(oxy)benzaldehyde is 1:1-2.

[0012] Furthermore, the pH is adjusted to 5-6.

[0013] Furthermore, the temperature is raised to 40-80° C. in step S3.

[0014] Furthermore, the total mass of the modified chitosan and ammonium polyphosphate accounts for 7-9% of the green bio-based composite flame retardant coating in terms of mass ratio, wherein the mass ratio of the modified chitosan and ammonium polyphosphate is 1:1 or 1:2 or 1:3 or 1:4.

[0015] The present application also provides a method for preparing a green bio-based composite flame retardant coating and its application in polyurethane foam.

[0016] The present application also provides a method for preparing a green bio-based composite flame retardant coating and the use of the green bio-based composite flame retardant coating in polyurethane foam.

[0017] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: The present application provides a method for preparing a green bio-based composite flame retardant coating. Ammonium polyphosphate serves as an acid source and a gas source, and decomposes at high temperature to generate polyphosphoric acid and ammonia. Polyphosphoric acid serves as a strong dehydrating agent to promote the dehydration and carbonization of a carbonizing agent to form an expanded carbon layer. Ammonia dilutes the oxygen concentration and inhibits the combustion chain reaction, thus serving as a gas-phase flame retardant. The amino and hydroxyl groups of modified chitosan form an expanded carbon layer during combustion, which blocks the transfer of heat and oxygen. The amino groups can react with APP decomposition products (such as polyphosphoric acid) to form a cross-linked network, thereby enhancing the density of the carbon layer and serving as a solid-phase flame retardant. The gas phase and solid phase work synergistically to enhance the flame retardant effect.

[0018] Through physical and chemical effects such as cross-linking reactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, a stable multi-component sol-gel liquid was successfully constructed. The sol-gel liquid has green, environmentally friendly and non-toxic characteristics, and can achieve uniform coating of polyurethane foam by direct brushing or dipping process, which significantly simplifies the tedious process of traditional step-by-step coating. By regulating the ratio of each flame retardant component, the flame retardant properties of the sol-gel liquid can be accurately adjusted. The polyurethane foam treated with the sol-gel liquid shows significantly improved flame retardant properties during the combustion process, including key parameters such as heat release rate, smoke release rate, total heat release and total smoke release. All are effectively controlled, and the amount of residual carbon is significantly increased. The green bio-based composite flame retardant coating provided in this application has a simple preparation process and is environmentally friendly, and has broad application prospects in the field of flame retardant polymer materials.

[0029] Performance Testing Functionality tests were performed on the green bio-based composite flame retardant coatings prepared in Examples 1-4 and Control Examples 1-2. The prepared green bio-based composite flame retardant coatings were brush-coated on the FPUF surface at a rate of 1 g per square centimeter.

[0030] The flame retardant properties of the green bio-based composite flame retardant coatings prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested for limiting oxygen index and vertical combustion. The results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1

[0031] In Table 1 above, LOI is the limiting oxygen index value; UL-94 represents the vertical burning rating Analysis of the data in Table 1 shows that the green bio-based composite flame retardant coatings prepared in Examples 1-4 have a limiting oxygen index greater than 30, and the vertical combustion ratings all reach V0. By comparing Examples 1-4, the ratio of modified chitosan to ammonium polyphosphate of 1:3 has the best flame retardant effect. While the limiting oxygen index of Control Examples 1 and 2, which lack flame retardant ingredients, is less than 30, the vertical rating is V1. Therefore, it can be seen that the green bio-based composite flame retardant coatings prepared in Examples 1-4 of the present application have good flame retardant effects, especially Example 3 has the best effect.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a stability diagram of the DCS / DEL / 3APP / MMT green bio-based composite flame retardant coating prepared in Example 3 when stored at room temperature. It can be seen from the figure that the flame retardant sol-gel solution is still in a stable state after long-term storage for thirty days.

[0033] Figure 2The thermogravimetric curves of the blank polyurethane foam (FPUF) of the present invention, the dried sample of the green bio-based composite flame retardant coating prepared in Example 3 (DCS / DEL / 3APP / MMT), and the flame retardant foam (FPUF / DCS / DEL / 3APP / MMT) thereof are shown in Table 2 below. Table 2

[0034] From Table 2 we can see that T 5% T is the temperature at which the sample mass loss reaches 5%; max1 and T max2 are the maximum decomposition temperatures of the sample in the first and second stages, respectively; the residual carbon content is the mass percentage of residual carbon in the sample at 800°C.

[0035] From the above data analysis, it can be seen that at 800°C, the residual carbon rate of pure polyurethane foam is 9.3%, the residual carbon rate of DCS / DEL / 3APP / MMT powder after drying is 56.7%, and the residual carbon rate of the sample coated with flame retardant coating FPUF / DCS / DEL / 3APP / MMT is 60.7%. It can be seen that the green bio-based composite flame retardant coating prepared in Example 3 of this application has a good flame retardant effect.

[0036] In order to determine the bonding strength between the green bio-based composite flame retardant coating prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 and the substrate, a thermal shock test was performed. The prepared green bio-based composite flame retardant coating was brush-coated on the FPUF surface at a rate of 1 g per square centimeter. The sample was placed in a 140°C oven for 5 minutes, then taken out and placed in a refrigerator at approximately -20°C for 5 minutes. The above steps were repeated 5 times, and then the flame retardant performance was tested using a limiting oxygen index vertical combustion method. The results are shown in Table 3 below. Table 3

[0037] In Table 3 above, LOI is the limiting oxygen index value; UL-94 represents the vertical burning rating Analysis of the data in Table 3 shows that after the thermal shock test, the limiting oxygen index of the green bio-based composite flame retardant coatings prepared in Example 3 and Control Examples 1-2 decreased, but the decrease was controlled within 10%, indicating that the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate was relatively high.

Test conditions: sample size (100×100×25) mm. 3 , the radiation intensity is 35kJ / m 2 The figure shows that the polyurethane foam coated with DCS / DEL / 3APP / MMT performs better than blank polyurethane foam in terms of heat release rate, total heat release, smoke release rate, and total smoke release. Cone calorimetry results demonstrate that the green bio-based composite flame retardant coating effectively suppresses the combustion of polyurethane foam, demonstrating its potential for application in flame retardancy.

[0039] In summary, the green bio-based composite flame retardant coatings prepared in Examples 1-4 of the present application have excellent flame retardant effects, especially the green bio-based composite flame retardant coating prepared in Example 3 of the present application has the best effect.
