Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical raw material production technology, specifically relating to a phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin and its synthesis method. Background Technology
[0002] Unsaturated polyester resin is a thermosetting resin formed by the condensation polymerization of unsaturated diacids and diols, or saturated diacids and unsaturated diols, through esterification. Unsaturated polyester resin possesses excellent physical and chemical properties, such as abrasion resistance, heat resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, and it does not readily react chemically with other substances. It also exhibits excellent processing performance; by adding different auxiliaries and pigments, it can be produced into products of various shapes and colors. Unsaturated polyester resin is widely used in construction engineering, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, and craft manufacturing, among other fields.
[0003] In existing technologies, the molecular structure and chemical composition of unsaturated polyester resins make them highly flammable, and they also produce a large amount of toxic gases and fumes during combustion. The flammability of unsaturated polyester resins has significantly hindered their further application in daily life. To expand the application range of unsaturated polyester resins, especially to meet the requirements of some special fields, it is usually necessary to perform targeted flame-retardant modification on unsaturated polyester resins while maintaining their overall performance. Existing flame-retardant modification methods for high-molecular-weight materials typically involve physical modification, i.e., mixing halogenated flame retardants into the resin matrix. For example, CN114536892A discloses an ultra-low dielectric loss high-frequency high-speed copper-clad laminate and its preparation method, in which the flame retardants used are halogenated flame retardants such as tetrabromobisphenol A and decabromodiphenyl ether.
[0004] In practice, the inclusion of halogenated flame retardants leads to the production of large amounts of toxic gases and fumes during combustion of polymer materials. With advancements in science and technology and increased environmental awareness, coupled with the enactment of numerous environmental laws and regulations, halogenated flame retardants are now on the verge of being phased out, as they do not align with the scientific principles of green chemistry. Furthermore, the inclusion of halogenated flame retardants in polymer materials can cause filler migration and aggregation during long-term use, leading not only to the inactivation of flame-retardant components and a significant reduction in the flame-retardant properties of the resin, but also to a decrease in the mechanical and curing properties of the resin system. Therefore, the development of new halogen-free flame retardants is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention chemically synthesizes a phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin monomer, which is then further polymerized to obtain a polyester resin. This polyester resin is then reacted with a polyurethane-coated aluminum hydroxide emulsion to obtain a phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin that does not contain halogen groups and possesses excellent flame-retardant and mechanical properties, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art. Specifically, the technical solution of this invention includes the following:
[0006] One objective of this invention is to provide a method for synthesizing a phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin, the method comprising the following steps:
[0007] Hydroxyl monomer, phosphoryl dichloro monomer, organic solvent and triethylamine are mixed in a molar ratio of 1.1~1.5:1.1~1.3:4:0.45 in a low temperature environment, and then heated to 37℃~45℃ and reacted for 2h~5h to obtain phosphoric acid-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin monomer;
[0008] Phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin monomer, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride and neopentyl glycol are mixed in a molar ratio of 4.1~5.5:2.1~2.5:1.2~1.8:2 and heated to 150℃~160℃ for 1h~3h, and then heated to 200℃~250℃ for 2h~5h to obtain polyester resin.
[0009] Polyester resin and polyurethane-coated aluminum hydroxide emulsion are mixed and heated to 100℃~120℃ for 2.5h~3h to obtain phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin.
[0010] Furthermore, the hydroxyl monomer includes bisphenol A, 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, or 5,5'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine.
[0011] Furthermore, the phosphoryl dichloride monomer includes phenyl phosphoryl dichloride, phenyl phosphate dichloride, or methyl phosphate dichloride.
[0012] Furthermore, the organic solvent includes tetrahydrofuran.
[0013] Furthermore, the low-temperature environment is -1℃ to 3℃.
[0014] Furthermore, the preparation method of the polyurethane-coated aluminum hydroxide emulsion includes the following steps:
[0015] Diisocyanate, polypolyol, aluminum hydroxide and dibutyltin dilaurate are mixed in a weight ratio of 13~15:40~44:21~23:0.2~0.3 and heated to 60℃~65℃ for pre-reaction for 1.5h~2h to obtain polyurethane prepolymer;
[0016] Polyurethane prepolymer and dimethylolpropionic acid are heated to 75℃~80℃ for chain extension reaction for 1h~2h, then cooled to 40℃ and triethylamine is added for 30min~40min. After that, deionized water is added and stirred at high speed to obtain polyurethane-coated aluminum hydroxide emulsion.
[0017] Furthermore, the diisocyanate includes toluene diisocyanate.
[0018] Furthermore, the polypolyol includes polypropylene glycol 400, where polypropylene glycol 400 refers to polypropylene glycol with an Mn of 400.
[0019] Furthermore, the particle size of the aluminum hydroxide is 15 μm.
[0020] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the diisocyanate: dimethylolpropionic acid: triethylamine is 1:0.5:0.4.
[0021] Furthermore, the amount of deionized water added is 5 to 6 times the total weight of the polyurethane prepolymer and dimethylolpropionic acid.
[0022] Furthermore, the conditions for high-speed stirring include a stirring speed of 1000 r / min and a stirring time of 30 min.
[0023] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the polyester resin to the polyurethane-coated aluminum hydroxide emulsion is 1:0.2~0.3.
[0024] A second objective of this invention is to provide a phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin prepared by a method for synthesizing phosphate-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0026] This invention utilizes chemical synthesis to first react hydroxyl monomers and phosphoryl dichloride monomers to obtain phosphoric acid-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin monomers. Under the catalysis of triethylamine, triethylamine enhances the nucleophilicity of the hydroxyl monomers through deprotonation, enabling them to attack the phosphorus atoms on the phosphoryl dichloride monomers. Simultaneously, it neutralizes the generated hydrogen chloride, thereby promoting the forward reaction and forming stable phosphoester bonds to obtain phosphoric acid-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin monomers, introducing phosphorus-containing flame-retardant groups. Then, the phosphoric acid-based flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin monomers are polymerized and chain-extended with phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, and neopentyl glycol to prepare a polyester resin containing phosphorus-containing flame-retardant groups. Next, aluminum hydroxide, an inorganic compound with flame-retardant properties, was encapsulated into the polyurethane via in-situ polymerization. Through the condensation reaction between the polyurethane and the polyester resin, the interfacial bonding between aluminum hydroxide and the polyester resin was enhanced, reducing the defect that aluminum hydroxide easily agglomerates, which can lead to a decrease in the mechanical and flame-retardant properties of the resin. The synergistic effect of the phosphoric acid flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin monomer containing phosphorus flame-retardant groups and aluminum hydroxide resulted in a phosphoric acid flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin with good flame-retardant properties. At the same time, the polymerization encapsulation modification of aluminum hydroxide also improved the mechanical properties of the phosphoric acid flame-retardant unsaturated polyester resin.
