Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sealing materials, in particular to an asbestos-free sealing plate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a key functional material in the industrial field, sealing plates are widely used for static sealing in pipe flanges, valve connections, and other areas under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions in chemical reactors, power boilers, and metallurgical equipment. Their core function is to prevent media leakage and ensure the safety and economic efficiency of equipment operation. Therefore, they place stringent requirements on the material's high-temperature resistance, sealing properties, mechanical strength, and environmental friendliness.
[0003] Traditional sealing materials often use asbestos as a core reinforcement component. Asbestos was once widely used due to its excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. However, with increasing environmental awareness, the strong carcinogenicity of asbestos fibers has been clearly established. Long-term exposure can lead to serious diseases such as asbestosis and lung cancer. Furthermore, asbestos waste is difficult to degrade, causing persistent pollution to soil and water sources.
[0004] Although the research and development of existing asbestos-free sealing panels has made some progress, there are still many technical bottlenecks: First, the high temperature resistance is insufficient. The long-term operating temperature of most products is limited to below 150°C. In high temperature environments above 200°C, problems such as substrate aging and loss of elasticity are prone to occur, leading to sealing failure. Second, environmental performance varies. Some products use adhesives containing formaldehyde or flame retardants containing heavy metals such as lead and cadmium to improve performance, which poses the risk of volatile harmful substances and does not comply with international environmental standards such as RoHS and REACH. Third, it is difficult to balance performance. A single fiber reinforcement system cannot achieve both mechanical strength and sealing. For example, sealing panels reinforced only with glass fiber are brittle and prone to cracking, while products reinforced only with organic fibers lack heat resistance. Fourth, there are defects in the preparation process. The poor compatibility between the fiber and the matrix material leads to weak interfacial bonding, and pores are easily generated inside the material, affecting the sealing reliability. Fifth, in a humid or corrosive medium environment, existing sealing plates are prone to hygroscopic expansion or corrosion degradation, which greatly shortens their service life and increases equipment maintenance costs.
[0005] Currently, the asbestos-free sealing boards on the market are mainly divided into three categories: rubber-based, resin-based and composite-based. Rubber-based sealing boards have good elasticity but poor heat resistance, and the long-term use temperature usually does not exceed 120°C; resin-based sealing boards have improved heat resistance, but are more brittle, and the sealing surface is prone to cracks due to vibration or temperature difference stress; although composite-based sealing boards have tried to combine fibers and matrices, the fiber type selection is single, the matrix modification is insufficient, and there is a lack of effective interface optimization methods, resulting in the comprehensive performance of the material being difficult to meet the needs of high-end industrial scenarios. In addition, some products use benzene solvents or phosphorus-containing flame retardants in the production process, which not only endangers the health of operators, but also causes secondary pollution during waste disposal. Therefore, an asbestos-free sealing board with excellent high temperature resistance, reliable sealing, mechanical strength and comprehensive environmental protection performance is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing asbestos-free sealing panels, such as insufficient high-temperature resistance, poor environmental performance, poor sealing properties, insufficient mechanical strength, and a short service life. The invention provides an asbestos-free sealing panel and a method for preparing the panel. The panel contains no asbestos, formaldehyde, or heavy metals, exhibits excellent high-temperature resistance, mechanical properties, and sealing performance, and features a stable and controllable preparation process, making it suitable for industrial production.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The technical solution provided by the present invention is: an asbestos-free sealing plate, characterized in that it is made of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 20-30 parts of inorganic composite fiber, 5-10 parts of organic reinforcing fiber, 35-45 parts of modified high-temperature resistant matrix material, 5-10 parts of nitrile rubber, 8-15 parts of environmentally friendly flame retardant, 1-3 parts of lubricant, 1-2 parts of coupling agent, 3-6 parts of organic modified montmorillonite, and 1-3 parts of graphene; The inorganic composite fiber is a mixture of aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber, with a weight ratio of (2-3):1; The organic reinforcing fiber is aramid fiber; the modified high-temperature resistant matrix material is an epoxy resin modified with a silane coupling agent, wherein the silane coupling agent is γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The modification process is as follows: the epoxy resin is heated to 80-90°C, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is added dropwise at a rate of 3-5% by weight of the epoxy resin while stirring, and after the addition is completed, the mixture is stirred and kept warm for 1-2 hours, and then cooled to room temperature; The environmentally friendly flame retardant is magnesium hydroxide, with a particle size of 1-5 μm; The organic modified montmorillonite is sodium montmorillonite modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and its interlayer spacing is 2.5-3.5nm; Graphene is in the form of flakes with a thickness of 0.5-2 nm and a flake diameter of 5-10 μm; And the asbestos-free sealing board does not contain formaldehyde, heavy metals and asbestos components.
[0008] Furthermore, the acrylonitrile content of the nitrile rubber is 25-35%, and the Mooney viscosity (ML1+4, 100°C) is 40-60.
[0009] Furthermore, the length of the aluminum silicate fiber is 0.5-2 mm and the diameter is 3-8 μm; the length of the basalt fiber is 1-3 mm and the diameter is 5-10 μm; and the length of the aramid fiber is 0.3-1 mm and the diameter is 12-18 μm.
[0010] Furthermore, the lubricant is calcium stearate; the coupling agent is a titanate coupling agent, and the titanate coupling agent is isopropyl tris (dioctyl pyrophosphate) titanate.
[0011] Furthermore, the modification method of the organically modified montmorillonite includes: adding sodium montmorillonite to deionized water, stirring to form a suspension with a mass fraction of 5-8%, adding hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide at a weight ratio of 15-20% of the weight of the sodium montmorillonite, stirring and reacting at 80-90°C for 2-3 hours, filtering, washing with deionized water until the filtrate is free of bromide ions, drying at 105-110°C, and grinding through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain the obtained product.
[0012] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the organic modified montmorillonite to the graphene is (2-3):1.
[0013] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the modified high temperature resistant matrix material to the nitrile rubber is (4-6):1.
[0014] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned asbestos-free sealing plate, comprising the following steps: S1. Raw material pretreatment: Dry the aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber in an oven at 100-120°C for 2-3 hours. After drying, the moisture content is ≤0.5%. The aramid fiber was washed with deionized water until the pH value of the washing solution was 7, and dried in an oven at 80-90°C for 1-2 hours; The nitrile rubber is plasticized on an open mill at a plasticizing temperature of 50-60°C, a roller distance of 0.5-1mm, and a plasticizing time of 10-15 minutes; Graphene was added to anhydrous ethanol and ultrasonically dispersed at a power of 300-400 W for 30-40 minutes to prepare a graphene dispersion with a concentration of 0.5-1.5 mg / mL; S2 hybrid fiber preparation: The pretreated aluminum silicate fiber, basalt fiber and aramid fiber were added to a high-speed mixer, a lubricant and a coupling agent were added, and stirred at a speed of 800-1000r / min for 10-15min to obtain a hybrid fiber; S3. Preparation of the matrix mixture: Heat the modified high-temperature-resistant matrix material to 60-70°C, add the plasticized nitrile rubber (chopped into 5-10 mm particles), environmentally friendly flame retardant, organic modified montmorillonite, and graphene dispersion, and stir at 500-600 r / min for 20-30 minutes. During stirring, control the temperature at 65-75°C to completely evaporate the anhydrous ethanol to obtain a matrix mixture. S4 composite material mixing: The mixed fiber obtained in step S2 was added to the matrix mixture obtained in step S3 and stirred at a speed of 700-800r / min for 30-40min to obtain a uniform composite material; S5. Molding and curing: Place the composite material obtained in step S4 in a mold with a 5-10μm polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion release agent applied to the inner wall, cold press mold it at a pressure of 15-25MPa, and hold the pressure for 10-15min to obtain a slab; place the slab in a curing furnace, first heat it to 120-130℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min, keep it warm for 2-3h, then heat it to 180-200℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, keep it warm for 1-2h, and naturally cool it to room temperature to obtain an asbestos-free sealing board.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S1, 0.5-1 parts by weight of a vulcanization accelerator is added to the nitrile rubber during the mastication process. The vulcanization accelerator is tetramethylthiuram disulfide, and the mastication is continued for 5 minutes after the addition.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are: (1) The present invention strictly complies with environmental protection requirements. The raw material system does not contain asbestos, formaldehyde, and heavy metal elements such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. The magnesium hydroxide flame retardant used is inorganic and environmentally friendly, with no halogen release risk. The silane coupling agent and lubricant are both low-volatility environmentally friendly additives, which comply with RoHS2.0 and REACH regulations. The product does not emit toxic and harmful substances during the entire process of production, use, and disposal, avoiding the environmental risks of traditional sealing materials from the source, and can meet the needs of high-end environmental protection scenarios such as food grade and medical grade.
[0017] (2) A breakthrough in high-temperature resistance is achieved through multi-dimensional collaborative design. Aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber form a high-temperature resistant skeleton. The modified epoxy resin has good thermal stability after being treated with a silane coupling agent. Nitrile rubber further enhances heat resistance. The synergistic effect of the three enables the sealing plate to be used stably for a long time in an environment of 200-250℃, and the short-term temperature resistance can reach 300℃, meeting the sealing needs of high-temperature industrial equipment.
[0018] (3) The "inorganic-organic" fiber synergistic reinforcement mechanism is adopted. The inorganic composite fiber provides rigid support, and the aramid fiber improves the toughness of the material. After being treated with a coupling agent, the fiber and the matrix interface are tightly bonded, so that the sealing plate has good tensile strength and compression rebound rate. At the same time, the lamellar structure of the organic modified montmorillonite and the two-dimensional nano effect of graphene form a dense barrier network with excellent gas barrier properties, which can still maintain reliable sealing under high-pressure conditions.
[0019] (4) Through molecular design to optimize interfacial compatibility, the silane coupling agent simultaneously modifies the epoxy resin and the inorganic fiber surface to form a chemical bridging effect. The alkyl chain of the organically modified montmorillonite produces an affinity with the polar group of the nitrile rubber. The graphene is evenly embedded in the matrix after ultrasonic dispersion, effectively suppressing the internal stress concentration of the material. After multiple hot and cold cycle tests, the product has no cracks or stratification, stable performance, and greatly extended service life.
[0020] (5) The parameters of the preparation method of the present invention are clear and easy to control. The fiber moisture content and rubber plasticization degree are precisely controlled in the raw material pretreatment stage to ensure the uniformity of the material. The mixing stage adopts gradient speed stirring to avoid fiber damage while achieving uniform dispersion. The curing stage adopts a step-by-step temperature increase system to reduce the generation of internal stress. The entire process does not require special equipment and can be modified and produced using the existing sealing plate production line. The equipment investment cost is low, suitable for large-scale mass production, and has significant economic benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The internal structure of the material is uniform and dense, the various components work together fully, and the comprehensive performance reaches the optimal level, which can meet the sealing requirements of extreme high temperature and high pressure working conditions.
[0032] Comparative Example 1: See also Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a comparative technical solution: an asbestos-free sealing plate, made of the following raw materials in actual mass: 25 kg of inorganic composite fiber (18 kg of aluminum silicate fiber, 7 kg of basalt fiber), 7 kg of organic reinforcing fiber, 40 kg of unmodified epoxy resin, 12 kg of environmentally friendly flame retardant, 2 kg of lubricant, and 1.5 kg of coupling agent; The preparation method is as follows: S1. Raw material pretreatment: Aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber were dried in an oven at 110°C for 2.5 hours, with a moisture content of 0.3% after drying. Aramid fiber was washed with deionized water to a pH of 7 and then dried in an oven at 85°C for 1.5 hours. S2. Preparation of hybrid fibers: The pretreated aluminum silicate fibers, basalt fibers, and aramid fibers were added to a high-speed mixer, a lubricant and a coupling agent were added, and the mixture was stirred at a speed of 900 r / min for 12 min to obtain a hybrid fiber. S3 matrix mixture preparation: the unmodified epoxy resin was heated to 65 ° C, an environmentally friendly flame retardant was added, and stirred at a speed of 550r / min for 25min to obtain a matrix mixture; S4 composite material mixing: The mixed fiber obtained in step S2 was added to the matrix mixture obtained in step S3 and stirred at a speed of 750r / min for 35min to obtain a uniform composite material; S5. Molding and curing: The composite material obtained in step S4 is placed in a mold with an inner wall coated with an 8μm polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion release agent, and cold-pressed at a pressure of 20MPa for 12min to obtain a slab; the slab is placed in a curing oven, first heated to 125°C at a rate of 5°C / min, kept warm for 2.5h, then heated to 190°C at a rate of 3°C / min, kept warm for 1.5h, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain an asbestos-free sealing plate; This comparative example does not use nitrile rubber, organically modified montmorillonite, or graphene, and uses unmodified epoxy resin as the matrix material. Testing has shown that the sealing plate has low tensile strength, insufficient compression rebound rate, poor thermal stability at 200°C, and exhibits obvious softening. Due to the lack of the toughening effect of nitrile rubber and the enhanced sealing effect of montmorillonite and graphene, the material is relatively brittle, cracks appear after hot and cold cycle testing, and the gas leakage rate is high, making it unable to meet the sealing requirements of high temperature and high pressure working conditions.
[0033] Comparative Example 2: See also Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a comparative technical solution: an asbestos-free sealing plate, made of the following raw materials of actual mass: 25 kg of glass fiber, 7 kg of organic reinforcing fiber, 40 kg of modified high-temperature resistant matrix material, 7 kg of nitrile rubber, 12 kg of environmentally friendly flame retardant, 2 kg of lubricant, and 1.5 kg of coupling agent; The preparation method is as follows: S1. Raw material pretreatment: The glass fiber was dried in an oven at 110°C for 2.5h, and the moisture content after drying was 0.3%; the aramid fiber was washed with deionized water until the pH value of the washing solution was 7, and dried in an oven at 85°C for 1.5h; the nitrile rubber was masticated on an open mill at a mastication temperature of 55°C, a roller pitch of 0.8mm, and a mastication time of 12min. During the mastication process, 0.7kg of tetramethylthiuram disulfide, a vulcanization accelerator, was added and mastication was continued for 5min after addition; S2. Preparation of hybrid fiber: The pretreated glass fiber and aramid fiber were added to a high-speed mixer, a lubricant and a coupling agent were added, and stirred at a speed of 900 r / min for 12 min to obtain a hybrid fiber; S3. Preparation of the matrix mixture: The modified high-temperature resistant matrix material was heated to 65°C, and plasticized nitrile rubber (chopped into 8 mm particles) and an environmentally friendly flame retardant were added. The mixture was stirred at a speed of 550 r / min for 25 minutes to obtain a matrix mixture; S4 composite material mixing: The mixed fiber obtained in step S2 was added to the matrix mixture obtained in step S3 and stirred at a speed of 750r / min for 35min to obtain a uniform composite material; S5. Molding and curing: The composite material obtained in step S4 is placed in a mold with an inner wall coated with an 8μm polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion release agent, and cold-pressed at a pressure of 20MPa for 12min to obtain a slab; the slab is placed in a curing oven, first heated to 125°C at a rate of 5°C / min, kept warm for 2.5h, then heated to 190°C at a rate of 3°C / min, kept warm for 1.5h, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain an asbestos-free sealing plate; In this comparative example, glass fiber replaces the inorganic composite fiber (a mixture of aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber), and no organic modified montmorillonite and graphene are added. After testing, the high-temperature resistance of the sealing plate is significantly reduced, the thermal weight loss rate at 200°C is relatively high, and the tensile strength and compression rebound rate are both lower than those in Example 2. Since the heat resistance of glass fiber is not as good as that of aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber, and it lacks the dense barrier effect of montmorillonite and graphene, the gas leakage rate is significantly increased, and sealing failure is prone to occur when used in a high-temperature environment.
[0034] Comparative Example 3: See also Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a comparative technical solution: an asbestos-free sealing plate, made of the following raw materials in actual mass: 25 kg of inorganic composite fiber (18 kg of aluminum silicate fiber, 7 kg of basalt fiber), 7 kg of organic reinforcing fiber, 40 kg of modified high-temperature resistant matrix material, 7 kg of nitrile rubber, 12 kg of environmentally friendly flame retardant, 2 kg of lubricant, and 1.5 kg of coupling agent; The preparation method is as follows: S1. Raw material pretreatment: Aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber were used directly (without drying); aramid fiber was used directly (without washing and drying); nitrile rubber was used directly without plasticizing; S2. Preparation of hybrid fibers: Aluminum silicate fibers, basalt fibers, and aramid fibers were added to a high-speed mixer, a lubricant and a coupling agent were added, and the mixture was stirred at a speed of 900 r / min for 12 min to obtain a hybrid fiber. S3. Preparation of the matrix mixture: The modified high-temperature resistant matrix material was heated to 65°C, nitrile rubber (unshredded) and an environmentally friendly flame retardant were added, and the mixture was stirred at a speed of 550 r / min for 25 minutes to obtain a matrix mixture; S4 composite material mixing: the mixed fiber obtained in step S2 was added to the matrix mixture obtained in step S3, and stirred at a speed of 750r / min for 35min to obtain a composite material (there was obvious agglomeration); S5 molding and curing: The composite material obtained in step S4 is placed in a mold (without a release agent), cold-pressed at a pressure of 20 MPa, and the holding time is 12 min to obtain a slab (partially adhered to the mold); the slab is placed in a curing oven, directly heated to 190 ° C, kept warm for 3.5 h, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain an asbestos-free sealing plate; In this comparative example, no raw material pretreatment was performed (the fibers were not dried and cleaned, and the rubber was not plasticized). The nitrile rubber was not chopped during the preparation of the matrix mixture, and no release agent was applied during molding and curing, and a direct heating method was used. Upon testing, it was found that since the raw materials were not pretreated, there was a lot of moisture and impurities in the fibers, resulting in a high internal porosity of the material, and a significant reduction in tensile strength and compression rebound rate. The nitrile rubber was not plasticized and chopped, resulting in uneven dispersion and agglomeration, which further affected the performance. Direct heating during the curing process generated large internal stress, cracks appeared in the slab, and the mold was stuck because no release agent was applied, resulting in poor product appearance and dimensional accuracy. The comprehensive performance was far lower than that of Example 2, and could not meet actual use requirements.
[0035] See also Figure 1-3 : Examples 1-8 all employ a composite system comprising inorganic composite fibers (aluminum silicate fibers and basalt fibers in a ratio of 2-3:1), organic reinforcing fibers (aramid fibers), a modified high-temperature-resistant matrix material (epoxy resin modified with a silane coupling agent), nitrile rubber, an environmentally friendly flame retardant (magnesium hydroxide), a lubricant, a coupling agent, organically modified montmorillonite, and graphene. The raw materials complement and synergize in performance. The aluminum silicate fibers and basalt fibers form a high-temperature-resistant skeleton, the aramid fibers provide toughness support, the modified epoxy resin and nitrile rubber form a composite matrix that combines heat resistance and elasticity, the organically modified montmorillonite and graphene create a dense barrier network, and the coupling agent effectively improves the interfacial bonding between the fibers and the matrix. This multi-component synergistic effect enables the products of the examples to maintain stable mechanical and sealing properties at high temperatures of 200-250°C. For example, after long-term use at 250°C, the tensile strength and compression rebound rate of Example 4 show no significant decrease, and the gas leakage rate remains at an extremely low level. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 lacks nitrile rubber, organically modified montmorillonite and graphene, and uses unmodified epoxy resin, resulting in high brittleness and insufficient heat resistance of the material; its tensile strength is only about 60% of that of Example 2, and its thermal weight loss rate at 200°C is more than 3 times that of Example 2. After the hot and cold cycle test, obvious cracks appear, and the sealing performance drops sharply; Comparative Example 2 uses glass fiber instead of inorganic composite fiber, and does not contain montmorillonite and graphene. The heat resistance of glass fiber is lower than that of aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber. It is easy to undergo crystal phase transformation at high temperature, resulting in a decrease in strength. The thermal weight loss rate at 200°C is 50% higher than that of Example 2, and the gas leakage rate is 4 times that of Example 2, which cannot meet the high-temperature sealing requirements; this fully proves that the raw material system of the present invention is not a simple superposition, but through the precise selection and ratio of each component, the synergistic optimization of heat resistance, mechanical properties and sealing is achieved, overcoming the defect that a single raw material or a simple combination in the prior art cannot take into account multiple performances; In the embodiment, the two are added at a weight ratio of 2-3:1. The lamellar structure of montmorillonite can extend the gas permeation path, and the two-dimensional nano-effect of graphene can fill the pores of the material. The two synergistically form a highly efficient barrier. The gas leakage rate of Example 2 is only 1 / 3 of that of Comparative Example 1 and 1 / 4 of that of Comparative Example 2, fully demonstrating the advantages of this composite system. At the same time, the ratio of nitrile rubber to modified epoxy resin (4-6:1) has been optimized. The addition of nitrile rubber effectively improves the brittleness of the epoxy resin, while the modification treatment ensures the heat resistance of the composite matrix. The compression rebound rate of the products in the embodiment is generally more than 30% higher than that of the pure epoxy resin system (Comparative Example 1), resolving the contradiction between traditional resin-based sealing plates: "heat resistance leads to high brittleness, and good elasticity leads to poor heat resistance." The preparation process of the present invention ensures the stability and uniformity of material properties by precisely controlling the steps of raw material pretreatment, mixing and dispersion, molding and curing, which is in sharp contrast to the performance defects caused by the simplified process in the comparative example. Examples 1-8 strictly implement the raw material pretreatment steps: aluminum silicate fiber and basalt fiber are dried at 100-120°C for 2-3h to a moisture content of ≤0.5%, aramid fiber is washed to neutral and then dried, nitrile rubber is plasticized at 50-60°C (roller spacing 0.5-1mm) for 10-15min and a vulcanization accelerator is added, and graphene is ultrasonically dispersed to form a stable dispersion. These pretreatment measures effectively remove moisture and impurities in the raw materials, improve the compatibility of the fiber and the matrix, and ensure the uniformity of subsequent mixing. For example, the composite material of Example 2 has no obvious agglomeration phenomenon and the cross-sectional structure is uniform and dense. However, in Comparative Example 3, due to the lack of pretreatment, the fiber is water-carrying and the rubber is not plasticized, resulting in a high internal porosity of the material, severe agglomeration, and a tensile strength of only 50% of that of Example 2. In the mixing and molding process, the embodiment adopts a gradient speed stirring and step-by-step temperature increase curing process to further ensure performance stability. In the mixing stage, the fiber and the additive are premixed at 800-1000 r / min and then fully mixed with the matrix mixture at 700-800 r / min, which not only avoids fiber damage but also achieves uniform dispersion. During molding and curing, cold pressing is first performed (15-25 MPa, 10-15 min), and then the temperature is increased in steps (5°C / min to 120-130°C for insulation, and then 3°C / min to 180-200°C for insulation), which effectively reduces the generation of internal stress. The product of the embodiment has high dimensional accuracy, no cracks, and no deformation. However, in Comparative Example 3, the nitrile rubber is not shredded and the mixing speed is single, resulting in uneven dispersion. In addition, direct heating during curing generates huge internal stress, resulting in obvious cracks in the slab and dimensional deviation exceeding the allowable range. In Example 3, a 5-10 μm polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion release agent was applied to the inner wall of the mold before molding to ensure smooth demolding of the slab and an intact appearance. In Comparative Example 3, no release agent was applied, resulting in adhesion of the slab to the mold, which not only damaged the appearance but also affected the dimensional accuracy. Refined control of process parameters (such as the plasticating roll distance, ultrasonic power, and heating rate) minimized the performance fluctuation range of the example product, with the tensile strength deviation between different batches being ≤5%. However, due to missing or arbitrary parameters in the comparative example, the performance fluctuation exceeded 20%, and product consistency could not be guaranteed. Example 4, which uses the highest raw material dosage and optimized process parameters (120°C drying, 400W ultrasonic dispersion, 25MPa cold pressing, and step-by-step temperature curing), achieves better performance than Example 1 (lower parameters), indicating that increasing the raw material dosage and optimizing the process parameters within a reasonable range can further improve performance. Furthermore, Examples 5-8 all achieved coordinated performance improvements by adjusting the raw material ratio and process parameter combinations, demonstrating that the process of the present invention has good controllability and adaptability, and can meet the performance requirements of different scenarios through parameter adjustment. In terms of environmental performance, the raw material systems of Examples 1-8 are completely free of asbestos, formaldehyde, and heavy metals. The magnesium hydroxide flame retardant and silane coupling agent used are all environmentally friendly additives and comply with RoHS 2.0 and REACH regulations. No toxic or hazardous substances are emitted during the production process. However, some existing technologies (not reflected in the comparative examples, but a common problem in the industry) use formaldehyde-containing adhesives or heavy metal flame retardants, which pose environmental risks. The present invention solves this problem from the source and can meet the needs of high-end environmental protection fields such as food and medicine. The product of the embodiment can be used stably for a long time at 200-250°C and can withstand temperatures of up to 300°C in the short term. However, Comparative Example 1, due to the absence of nitrile rubber and unmodified epoxy resin, shows obvious softening at 200°C. Comparative Example 2 uses glass fiber instead of high-temperature resistant inorganic composite fiber, and the thermal weight loss rate at 200°C is significantly increased. The high-temperature performance of the embodiment is due to the synergistic effect of aluminum silicate fiber, basalt fiber and the modified matrix. After 1000 hot and cold cycle tests (-40°C to 200°C), Example 2 has no cracks or delamination, and the performance retention rate is high. However, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 show a significant performance degradation or even structural damage after the same test, demonstrating that the material of the present invention has excellent thermal stability and thermal shock resistance. The tensile strength of the product in the embodiment is generally ≥15MPa, the compression rebound rate is ≥45%, and the gas leakage rate is ≤1×10⁻ 3 Pa·m 3 / s, while the tensile strength of comparative example 1 is only 9MPa, the compression rebound rate is 30%, and the gas leakage rate is 9×10⁻ 3 Pa·m 3 / s; Due to process defects, the tensile strength of Comparative Example 3 is less than 8MPa, and the compression rebound rate is 25%, which is completely unable to meet the sealing requirements; this performance advantage is derived from the synergistic reinforcement of "inorganic-organic" fibers, the modification and optimization of the matrix, and the barrier effect of montmorillonite-graphene, which achieves a balance between strength and elasticity, and improves density and sealing, solving the problem of traditional asbestos-free sealing panels that "high strength means poor elasticity, and good elasticity means insufficient sealing".
