Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of building materials and more specifically relates to a water-based interface agent and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Water-based interface agents use water as a solvent, replacing traditional organic solvent-based products, significantly reducing VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions and meeting the requirements of green building and sustainable development.

[0003] The permeability of water-based interface agents is one of their core functions, but in actual applications, there may be problems with insufficient permeability, especially in complex substrates or special environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing water-based interface agent is prone to insufficient penetration during actual use. In view of the above problem, the present invention provides a water-based interface agent and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an aqueous interface agent.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an aqueous interface agent.

[0007] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A water-based interface agent comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0009] 80-90 parts of water-based acrylic emulsion, 10-15 parts of alumina-coated nano-silica dispersion, 4-6 parts of ethylene glycol, 2-4 parts of polyether-modified siloxane, 0.8-1.2 parts of defoamer, 1.2-1.5 parts of thickener;

[0010] The nano-silica dispersion is prepared by dispersing alumina-coated nano-silica and water in a mass ratio of 1:8-10.

[0011] The alumina-coated nano-silica comprises nano-silica and an alumina coating layer coated on the surface of the nano-silica;

[0012] The D50 of the nano-silicon dioxide is 20-25 nm, and the average thickness of the aluminum oxide coating layer is 3-5 nm.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0014] During the research and development process, the inventors discovered that nano-silica particles have a relatively small size, and therefore can penetrate and diffuse into the pores on the surface of the substrate. However, if the size is too small, the presence of silanol groups on the surface of the nano-silica will lead to strong hydrogen bonding forces between the particles, causing agglomeration between the particles, thus affecting their penetration and diffusion into the pores.

[0015] Based on this, the present invention coats a certain thickness of alumina coating layer on the surface of nano-silica. On the one hand, the presence of the alumina coating layer can shield a portion of the silanol groups on the surface of the nano-silica, thereby reducing the hydrogen bonding force between the particles, reducing the occurrence of agglomeration, and improving its dispersion in the interface agent, thereby enhancing the penetration depth; on the other hand, the isoelectric point of alumina is higher than that of silica. After coating, the surface charge of the particles can be adjusted to make them more compatible with the concrete substrate, thereby promoting the wetting and capillary penetration of the water-based interface agent; more importantly, the alumina coating layer can form a smoother surface morphology, reducing the flow resistance of the nanoparticles when penetrating into the pores of the substrate;

[0016] However, the inventors found that if the coating layer is too thick, it will completely block the active sites on the surface of the nano-silica, and if it is too thin, the coating will be uneven. Therefore, the thickness needs to be controlled within a reasonable range; and after the coating treatment, it is further matched with polyether-modified silicone for synergistic use. Specifically, polyether-modified silicone model BYK-349 can be used to offset the possible loss of wetting properties after coating.

[0017] Furthermore, the alumina-coated nano-silica further includes a transition layer between the nano-silica and the alumina coating layer, and the transition layer includes amorphous carbon.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0019] The inventors further discovered that due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients between nano-silica and alumina, during processing and use, the alumina coating may partially fall off due to the inconsistent thermal expansion coefficients between the two, thereby affecting the effect after coating. By setting an amorphous carbon coating between the two, it can serve as a buffer layer to reduce interfacial stress cracking caused by temperature changes.

[0020] Furthermore, a silane coupling agent is grafted onto the surface of the alumina coating layer;

[0021] The silane coupling agent is selected from any one of silane coupling agent KH-540, silane coupling agent KH-550, silane coupling agent KH-560, silane coupling agent KH-570, and silane coupling agent KH-580.

[0022] Furthermore, the aqueous acrylic emulsion includes emulsion particles, the D50 of the emulsion particles is 80-90 nm, and the particle size distribution range of the emulsion particles is 1-200 nm.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0024] The inventors further discovered that by selecting emulsion particles with a D50 larger than that of nano-silica, the larger emulsion particles can preferentially enter the macro-pores of the substrate during the penetration process. Through capillary action, they open up a penetration path, creating conditions for the subsequent nano-silica to enter smaller pores, thus forming a dual penetration network of "large particles guiding flow + small particles compacting";

[0025] In addition, large-sized emulsion particles will temporarily deform under the shear force of construction, such as the shear force caused by spraying or brushing, which reduces the viscosity of the system and improves the instantaneous fluidity. Nano-silica maintains a high static viscosity to prevent sagging, making the product have both low construction viscosity (for easy penetration) and high static viscosity (to prevent sedimentation).

[0026] Furthermore, the defoamer is selected from any one of the mineral oil defoamer BYK-024, the mineral oil defoamer TegoFoamex810, and the silicone defoamer BYK-028.

[0027] Furthermore, the thickener is selected from any one of carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl ethyl cellulose.

[0028] A method for preparing a water-based interface agent, the specific preparation steps comprising:

[0031] After mixing nano-silicon dioxide and anhydrous ethanol, ultrasonically disperse them to obtain nano-silicon dioxide dispersion;

[0032] Adding silane coupling agent KH-550 to the nano-silica dispersion, heating under reflux at 70-75°C for 2-4 hours to obtain an activated nano-silica dispersion;

[0033] Aluminum isopropoxide and isopropanol are mixed and stirred evenly, and the pH is adjusted to 3.8-4.0. The mixture is heated and stirred at a temperature of 60-62°C and a stirring speed of 200-300 r / min for reaction for 2-3 hours, and then allowed to stand at a temperature of 40°C for 12-14 hours to obtain a transparent aluminum hydroxide sol;

[0034] The activated nano-silica dispersion is slowly added dropwise to the transparent aluminum hydroxide sol at a rate of 4-6 g / min. After the addition is completed, the mixture is stirred at a temperature of 60-65°C and a stirring speed of 300-400 r / min for 4-5 hours. During the reaction, the pH is maintained at 4.2-4.5.

[0036] The alumina-coated nano-silica and water are dispersed in a mass ratio of 1:8-10 to obtain the product.

[0037] Furthermore, the preparation of the alumina-coated nano-silica dispersion further comprises:

[0038] The nano-silica and glucose are mixed and dispersed in water in a mass ratio of 10:1-1.5, stirred and dispersed uniformly at 60-70°C, concentrated and dried to remove moisture, and then carbonized at 300-320°C in a nitrogen atmosphere for 2-3 hours, and then kept at 190-200°C in an air atmosphere for 10-12 minutes to obtain pretreated nano-silica;

[0039] By treating it in an air atmosphere at a certain temperature, the amorphous carbon is partially oxidized and -COOH functional groups are formed on the surface, thereby improving the bonding strength between the surface aluminum oxide coating layer and the transition layer, and also facilitating the formation of a more uniform coating layer;

[0040] The pretreated nano-silica and anhydrous ethanol are mixed and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain a nano-silica dispersion;

[0041] Add silane coupling agent KH-550 to the nano-silicon dioxide dispersion, heat and reflux at 70-75°C for 2-4 hours to obtain the activated nano-silicon dioxide dispersion.

[0042] Furthermore, the preparation of the alumina-coated nano-silica dispersion further comprises:

[0043] The alumina-coated nano-silica and 80-90% ethanol solution are mixed and dispersed in a mass ratio of 1:10-12 to obtain a dispersion A;

[0044] The silane coupling agent and 80-90% ethanol solution are stirred and evenly mixed in a mass ratio of 1:20-25, and then acetic acid is added dropwise to adjust the pH to 4.5-5.0, followed by stirring and reacting for 30-40 minutes to obtain a hydrolyzed solution;

[0045] The hydrolyzate is added dropwise to the dispersion A. After the addition is complete, the mixture is stirred at 70-75°C for 4-6 hours, and then centrifuged, washed and dried. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0120] The rest of the conditions remain unchanged.

[0121] The performance of the products obtained in the above examples and comparative examples was tested, and the specific test methods and test results are as follows:

[0122] Dye-profile method for assessing penetration depth:

[0123] A C30 concrete test block with a porosity of 18% was used as a substrate. The product obtained in the above examples or comparative examples was sprayed onto the substrate surface using a spraying process. The sprayed wet film thickness was controlled to be 20 μm. The substrate was then dried and cured at room temperature for 24 hours. Rhodamine B fluorescent dye was then sprayed. The sprayed wet film thickness was controlled to be 8 μm. After standing for 10 minutes, the surface was rinsed with clean water. The substrate was then cut and the staining depth of the cross section was observed using a digital microscope. The detailed test results are shown in Table 1.

[0124] Water absorption test:

[0125] A C30 concrete specimen with a porosity of 18% was used as the substrate. The water absorption of the substrate was tested before spraying the water-based interface agent. The coating was then sprayed onto the substrate surface using a spraying process. The sprayed wet film thickness was controlled to be 20 μm. The specimen was then dried and cured at room temperature for 24 hours. The water absorption of the substrate after spraying was tested again, and the difference in water absorption was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0126] When testing the water absorption rate, first immerse the substrate completely in deionized water at room temperature for 30 minutes, then take it out and drain the water. The water absorption rate is calculated by dividing the difference in mass before and after immersion by the mass of the substrate itself.

[0129] It can be seen from the test results in Table 1 that the product obtained by the present invention has a good penetration effect, can penetrate to a deeper depth, and has a more excellent interface treatment effect on the substrate surface.

[0130] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments.
