Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polyurethane technology, specifically relating to a waterproof and stain-resistant polyurethane foam and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane foam is the most widely used type of polyurethane product, accounting for nearly half of the total. With its excellent elasticity, flexibility, chemical stability, compressive strength, processability, and thermal insulation, polyurethane foam has become an indispensable material in the automotive, construction, home appliance, and medical fields. As technology advances and demands increase, the functional requirements for materials are also rising. In addition to traditional properties, flame retardancy, environmental friendliness, water resistance, and stain resistance are also hot topics in some application areas. For example, when polyurethane foam is used in automotive interior products, components such as seats and door panels are frequently exposed to human sweat, oil stains, and external pollutants. If the material lacks water and stain resistance, it will not only lead to surface stain penetration and decreased aesthetics, but may also cause odors, mold growth, and bacterial transmission due to liquid residue, seriously affecting service life and user experience. Furthermore, in applications such as cold chain logistics, medical device protection, and precision instrument packaging, the material's resistance to moisture, oil, and microorganisms directly affects the safety and reliability of the product.

[0003] Chinese patent CN105924621A discloses a flame-retardant polyurethane flexible foam and its preparation method. The method involves mixing polyether polyol, a nitrogen-containing flame retardant, and a dispersant to form component A. Water, a catalyst, a foam stabilizer, TDI, and component A are then rapidly mixed and poured into a mold for foaming. The foam prepared by this patent has low production cost, high flame retardancy, low volatility, and produces no smoke or toxicity during combustion, ensuring safety. Chinese patent CN107151302A discloses a vegetable oil-based flexible polyurethane foam and its preparation method. Component A is prepared by mixing low-hydroxyl-value vegetable oil polyol, a foam stabilizer, an amine catalyst, an organotin catalyst, a foaming agent, and water. Component B (isocyanate) is then added and foamed. The foam prepared by this patent is non-toxic, biodegradable, and uses renewable raw materials, meeting green environmental protection requirements. However, while the aforementioned technical solutions have achieved breakthroughs in flame retardancy and environmental friendliness, the waterproof and stain-resistant properties of polyurethane foam still need improvement. Furthermore, existing technologies often rely on post-processing techniques to improve waterproofing and stain resistance, such as coatings or composite fabrics, which generally suffer from high costs, complex processes, and poor durability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a waterproof and stain-resistant polyurethane foam. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for preparing waterproof and stain-resistant polyurethane foam. By using functional modified polyether polyol, NCO-terminated prepolymer and flexible foam polyether polyol in synergy, and adding an appropriate amount of flame retardant, the foam plastic has good waterproof performance, stain resistance, air permeability and flame retardant performance.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] This invention provides a waterproof and stain-resistant polyurethane foam plastic, which is made of component A and component B in a weight ratio of 10:4.5-5.0;

[0007] Preferably, component A comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0008] 40-60 parts flexible foam polyether polyol, 10-20 parts functional modified polyether polyol, 10-30 parts NCO end-capped prepolymer, 10-15 parts flame retardant, 0.2-0.6 parts catalyst, 1-2 parts silicone foam stabilizer, 2-5 parts blowing agent;

[0009] Preferably, component B is toluene diisocyanate.

[0010] When infants and intoxicated individuals travel in vehicles, it is easy for them to spill drinks such as water, milk, and juice (and vomit may also occur). Once these substances seep into car seats, partitions, and other interior materials, they are difficult to clean, and the residue can easily lead to mold growth, strong odors, and negatively impact the hygiene and health of the vehicle interior. Therefore, a polyurethane foam with both waterproof and stain-resistant properties is needed to significantly reduce the risk of these substances seeping into car seats.

[0011] Preferably, the preparation method of the functional modified polyether polyol is as follows:

[0012] Sorbitol and an alkaline catalyst were mixed and heated to react. Epoxy alkane was added to continue the reaction, yielding sorbitol-based polyether polyol. Hexahydroxysorbitol was dehydrated under the catalysis of an alkaline catalyst to form an alkoxide. The alkoxide attacked the epoxy alkane to initiate ring-opening polymerization, yielding sorbitol-based polyether polyol (functionality = 6).

[0013] Glycidyl methacrylate and sorbitol polyether polyol were mixed and heated to react. Hydrogen-containing silicone oil and a metal catalyst were added to initiate an addition reaction. The hydroxyl groups at the end of the polyether nucleophilically attacked the epoxy groups of glycidyl methacrylate to form ether bonds. The acrylic double bonds retained after ring opening under the catalysis of the metal catalyst underwent a hydrosilylation reaction with the hydrogen-containing silicone oil.

[0014] Dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl methacrylate, and an initiator are then added to react with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride and tetrabutylammonium bromide. Free radicals initiate the copolymerization of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and 2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl methacrylate, which is then grafted onto the residual double bonds of the polyether macromolecular chain. The introduction of tertiary amine groups by dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate provides reaction sites for quaternization, while the perfluoroalkyl group further enhances hydrophobicity. The tertiary amine nucleophilically attacks the epoxy groups of glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride, opening the ring and introducing a quaternary ammonium salt structure, thus endowing the material with excellent antibacterial properties.

[0015] Add 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol and stir until homogeneous to obtain the final product. 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol can quench free radicals to terminate the reaction and inhibit oxidation, thereby improving product stability.

[0016] Preferably, the weight ratio of sorbitol to alkylene oxide is 2-3:70-80.

[0017] Preferably, the weight ratio of glycidyl methacrylate, sorbitol polyether polyol, hydrogen-containing silicone oil, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl methacrylate, and glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride is 1-4:40-60:5-8:1-5:1-4:4-6.

[0018] This invention combines the aforementioned functionally modified polyether polyols with ordinary polyether polyols to create a material that exhibits hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, while balancing the uniformity of the foam structure and its mechanical properties. Specifically, the introduced siloxane and perfluoroalkyl structures synergistically reduce surface energy, forming a physical barrier to repel water and oil molecules, while the introduced quaternary ammonium salt structure disrupts microbial cell membranes through electrostatic interactions, achieving chemical antibacterial effects.

[0019] Preferably, the preparation method of the functional modified polyether polyol is as follows:

[0020] By weight, 20-30 parts of sorbitol and 1-2 parts of alkaline catalyst are mixed, heated to 110-120℃ under nitrogen atmosphere and reacted for 1-3 hours. Then, 700-800 parts of epoxy alkane are added and the reaction is continued for 3-5 hours to obtain sorbitol-based polyether polyol.

[0021] Mix 1-4 parts glycidyl methacrylate and 40-60 parts sorbitol-based polyether polyol, heat to 60-80℃ and react for 2-4 hours. Add 5-8 parts hydrogen-containing silicone oil and 0.02-0.05 parts metal catalyst, heat to 70-85℃ and react for 2-4 hours. Then add 1-5 parts dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 1-4 parts 2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl methacrylate and 0.1-0.2 parts initiator and react for 3-5 hours. Then add 4-6 parts glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride and 0.05-0.15 parts tetrabutylammonium bromide and react for 1-3 hours. Finally, add 0.01-0.02 parts 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol and stir until homogeneous to obtain the final product.

[0028] Preferably, the method for preparing the NCO-terminated prepolymer is as follows:
