Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of road engineering materials, and in particular to a method for evaluating the storage stability of a polyurethane cold patch material based on the correlation between NCO change and strength. Background Art
[0002] Polyurethane cold patch material is a new type of road repair material that has seen significant progress in research and application in recent years. Due to its excellent adhesion, elasticity, wear resistance, and outstanding weather resistance, this material is widely used in road pothole repair projects, particularly in high-standard repairs and harsh environments. A key advantage of this material is its effective application and rapid curing even in low-temperature environments. Compared to traditional asphalt cold patch material, polyurethane cold patch material not only maintains excellent workability in low-temperature conditions, but also has a shorter curing time and exceptionally long durability, leading to its increasing application in the road repair field.
[0003] Polyurethane cold patch material is primarily composed of a binder consisting of polyurethane (isocyanate and polyol), a diluent, a catalyst, a plasticizer, and appropriately graded aggregate and mineral powder. This material has excellent workability, early strength, and durability, making it widely used for rapid repairs of potholes in roads.
[0004] However, polyurethane cold patch material is extremely sensitive to moisture, which can react with the isocyanate (NCO) groups in polyurethane. During storage, if the ambient humidity is high, the NCO group will react with moisture, resulting in increased consumption of the NCO group, thereby affecting the construction performance of the polyurethane cold patch material. In addition, the performance of polyurethane cold patch material is significantly affected by multiple factors such as temperature, humidity, storage time and packaging conditions. At present, the specific influence of these factors on the performance of the material has not been fully clarified, and whether premature reaction, failure or performance degradation will occur during storage is still undetermined. Existing evaluation methods mostly rely on the observation of the degree of agglomeration after long-term field storage, or the evaluation of the effect after field pothole repair, which takes a long time (usually not less than 3 months), and the results are greatly affected by subjective factors.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct a rapid evaluation system that can quantitatively characterize the correlation between chemical group changes during storage and key properties (such as early strength). Summary of the Invention

[0102] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mathematical expression of the correlation model is y = 28.62x 0.48 The model's goodness of fit was 90.37%. The correlation model did not consider the effects of factors such as storage time, formulation composition, and packaging method. It only established the relationship between NCO consumption and strength changes before and after storage, thus using 1-hour strength to predict storage effects.

[0106] S62. Use the Marshall stability of the cold patch material after storage as an evaluation index to evaluate the storage stability of the polyurethane cold patch material.
[0107] Specifically, the storage stability of the cold patch material is determined by M 1h Different ranges of intensity values are divided into the following four levels: 1h When ≥5kN, the cold patch material has basically no change and the storage stability is excellent; when 3kN<M 1h When ≤5kN, the cold patch material is slightly ineffective and the storage stability is good; when 0.6kN<M 1h When ≤3kN, the cold patch material is partially invalid (about 40%), and the storage stability is general; when M 1h When the force is ≤0.6kN, the cold patch material is basically ineffective and has poor storage stability.
[0108] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0109] Polyurethane cold patch materials are widely used in road pothole repair. However, the impact of factors such as temperature, humidity, and storage conditions on their storage stability remains unclear, and effective quantitative evaluation methods are lacking. This application proposes a storage stability assessment method for polyurethane cold patch materials based on the correlation between NCO changes and strength.
[0110] The specific implementation includes the following steps:
[0111] (1) Preparation process of finished polyurethane cold patch material: By precisely controlling the ratio of isocyanate (such as MDI, TDI) and polyol in the formula, a polyurethane prepolymer with an NCO content of 12.5% is prepared. The polyurethane prepolymer, xylene solvent, quartz sand and silane coupling agent are fully stirred at room temperature in the required proportions to prepare a mother liquor. According to the AC-10C grading requirements, limestone with a particle size of 0-3mm and granite aggregates with particle sizes of 3-5mm and 5-10mm are prepared. At room temperature, 6% of the mother liquor is used to fully mix with the above aggregates to obtain the finished polyurethane cold patch material.
[0112] (2) Test steps for finished polyurethane cold patch material: Use tweezers to evenly scrape 3-5g of binder from the surface of the finished polyurethane cold patch material as a sample; and place the sample in a container containing 20ml of anhydrous toluene and 10ml of di-n-butylamine-toluene mixed solution, and shake it thoroughly to ensure uniform mixing. Then, let it stand at room temperature for 30-60min until the sample is completely dissolved. Add 50ml of isopropanol to the above solution and add 5-10 drops of bromocresol green indicator until the solution turns blue. Then, use 0.5mol / L hydrochloric acid standard solution for titration. When the color of the solution changes from blue to yellow, record the volume of hydrochloric acid standard solution consumed. At the same time, perform a blank test. According to the volume of hydrochloric acid standard titration solution consumed in the above test, determine the specific NCO content of the finished polyurethane cold patch material according to the NCO content calculation formula. At the same time, use Fourier transform infrared spectrometer to measure the infrared absorption peak of the sample.

[0131] In summary, by means of the above technical solution of the present invention, by constructing the NCO consumption rate before and after storage (Δ NCO% ) and the NCO characteristic infrared peak area change rate (Δ A% ) Same as Marshall stability after 1 hour storage (M 1h) to predict the degree of chemical group attenuation based on the early strength test results of cold patch materials, and further scientifically evaluate their storage stability; it has the following significant advantages: 1. High efficiency: the evaluation cycle is greatly shortened from 3 to 6 months to 1 hour; 2. Quantification: with the help of Δ NCO% , Δ A% and M 1h 1. The three key indicators are linked to achieve accurate quantification of the material stability level; 2. Predictability: through the strength data 1 hour after storage, the risk of early strength loss after construction can be effectively predicted; 3. Universality: Applicable to MDI / TDI-based and other types of polyurethane cold patch material systems; This invention not only provides a reliable quantitative basis for the systematic analysis of the impact of different factors on the storage performance of materials, but also provides scientific support for optimizing the formula design and storage management strategy of polyurethane cold patch materials.
