Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polyurethane technology, specifically relating to low-density, buoyancy-resistant polyurethane runway materials and their preparation methods. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane running track materials have been widely used due to their excellent wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and controllable mechanical properties. However, traditional polyurethane running track materials suffer from problems such as high density and high viscosity. Currently, there are two main methods to reduce the density of polyurethane: one is the chemical foaming method, which involves introducing a foaming agent to form a closed-cell or open-cell structure, but this method suffers from uneven cell distribution and a significant decrease in mechanical strength; the other is the physical filling method, which involves adding lightweight fillers such as hollow polymer microspheres and expanded perlite, but these fillers are prone to cracking during high-speed mixing and have poor interfacial bonding with the polyurethane matrix, easily leading to floating and a decrease in the toughness of the composite material. Currently, physically filled hollow glass microspheres (density 0.2~0.6 g / cm³) are being developed. 3 While theoretically effective in reducing system density, this method still faces technical challenges in practical applications. One issue is dispersion: the smooth surface of glass microspheres leads to poor compatibility with liquid polyurethane materials, and conventional high-speed stirring easily damages the microsphere structure, limiting the density reduction effect. Another issue is buoyancy: a significant density difference exists between glass microspheres and liquid polyurethane materials, causing them to float due to gravity during static storage, affecting the uniformity of the final product. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a two-component, low-density, buoyancy-resistant polyurethane running track material to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a low-density, float-resistant polyurethane running track material. By introducing modified hollow glass microspheres and combining them with a low-damage mechanism, the density of the polyurethane running track material is significantly reduced, the overall weight is lightened, and the material cost is reduced by leveraging the volume effect, while ensuring the basic performance and stability of the material. By constructing a five-fold anti-buoyancy system, the floating problem of hollow glass microspheres in liquid materials and during the curing process is effectively solved, thereby improving product uniformity. Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a low-density, buoyancy-resistant polyurethane runway material. By rationally combining materials and controlling reactivity, the method balances the workability and post-curing performance of the material while ensuring system dispersibility and low damage.

Hollow glass microspheres were sprayed with the silane coupling agent alcohol solution and then dried and cured at 60~80℃ to obtain modified hollow glass microspheres.

[0019] The preparation method of the low-density, buoyancy-resistant polyurethane runway material includes the following steps: (1) Add polyether polyol 1, polymer polyol, first part defoamer and dispersant into the reactor, heat to 55~65℃, add filler, ultraviolet absorber, antioxidant and pigment, disperse evenly and then add coupling agent and first part polyurea thickener, keep warm and stir at 55~65℃ for 60~90min, then evacuate to pressure ≤-0.07MPa, add modified hollow glass microspheres and remaining defoamer at stirring speed ≤500rpm, then add remaining polyurea thickener, cool to below 60℃, add catalyst, stir for 40~60min to obtain component A; (2) Isocyanate, polyether polyol 2 and polyether polyol 3 are added to the reaction vessel, heated to 80~85℃, and kept at the temperature for 1.5~2h to obtain component B; (3) When using, mix component A and component B evenly according to the mass ratio, spread them out, and cure at room temperature to obtain low-density buoyancy-resistant polyurethane runway material.

[0020] The amount of the first part of the defoamer is 40-60 wt.% of the total amount of defoamer; the amount of the first part of the polyurea thickener is 40-60 wt.% of the total amount of polyurea thickener.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The low-density, buoyancy-resistant polyurethane runway material of the present invention reduces the overall weight of the runway material by introducing modified hollow glass microspheres, and reduces the material cost through volume effect; at the same time, by controlling the amount of modified hollow glass microspheres added, a balance between material performance and stability is achieved while ensuring the low density of the material. (2) The present invention constructs a five-fold buoyancy suppression system to reduce the buoyancy rate of hollow glass microspheres. First, after modification with an aminosilane coupling agent, hollow glass microspheres form a Si-O-Si covalent bond structure on their surface, balancing their buoyancy in component A through chemical bonding forces. Second, heavy calcium carbonate is selected, and a portion of polyurea thickener is added beforehand to increase the thixotropy of the liquid material and inhibit the floating of microspheres. Third, using an aminosilane coupling agent, the amino groups attached to the outer side of the Si-O-Si covalent bonds can react with -NCO groups during the curing stage, introducing the Si-O-Si covalent bonds and hollow glass microspheres into the polymer backbone, reducing the floating rate of hollow glass microspheres during the mixing stage of components A and B. Fourth, a small amount of coupling agent is added to component A to ensure the pretreatment effect of hollow glass microspheres while allowing them to participate in the reaction with -NCO groups during the curing stage, initially increasing the mixing viscosity of components A and B, and avoiding the floating of hollow glass microspheres due to the decrease in viscosity after mixing. Fifth, by introducing a small amount of terminal amino polyether, the A / B... After mixing, the components rapidly thicken and significantly increase low-shear viscosity, forming a three-dimensional network structure that locks the hollow glass microspheres within, effectively preventing them from floating and separating. Through this five-fold anti-buoyancy system, the floating rate of hollow glass microspheres in liquid materials and during the solidification process is significantly reduced. (3) This invention constructs a low-damage mechanism for hollow glass microspheres through material matching and process control. First, a low-unsaturation, high-molecular-weight polyether polyol 1 is selected. Its low viscosity is beneficial for the initial dispersion of fillers and reduces the stirring shear force, avoiding the risk of hollow glass microsphere breakage due to the use of high-viscosity polyether. Second, an appropriate amount of styrene-acrylonitrile grafted polyether polyol (SAN) is selected. While improving the cohesion of the system, the viscosity is avoided from increasing excessively. The SAN particles adsorb onto the surface of the hollow glass microspheres to form a buffer layer, further reducing the shear force. Third, a small amount of terminal amino polyether is added stepwise to avoid the problem of instantaneous high viscosity extrusion of hollow glass microspheres caused by the traditional one-time addition of thickener. At the same time, a liquid environment with high thixotropy and medium viscosity is formed, reducing the dependence on high stirring intensity and reducing the breakage of hollow glass microspheres. Fourth, a vacuum low-speed stirring addition process is adopted. Through the synergistic effect of eliminating bubble disturbance and controlling shear force, the breakage rate of hollow glass microspheres is reduced. (4) When introducing polymer polyols, amino-terminated polyether thickeners and silane coupling agents, the reactivity of the system increases and the operability decreases. To this end, by using a reasonable ratio of isocyanate to polyether polyol in component B, and by combining low oil absorption filler and nonionic polymeric dispersant, the viscosity of the system is reduced to improve operability; at the same time, a delayed-thermal environmentally friendly organic bismuth / zinc composite catalyst is used to slow down the viscosity increase in the initial stage of material mixing, thus balancing the operability and post-curing time of the material. (5) The preparation method of the low-density buoyancy-resistant polyurethane runway material of the present invention is scientific, reasonable, simple and easy to implement, and suitable for industrial production.

[0049] The polyurethane running track materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were subjected to performance tests, and the test methods are as follows: Density: Tested according to GB / T 1033.1-2008; Tensile strength: Tested in accordance with GB / T 528-2009; Slurry stability: Component A was allowed to stand at 45°C, and the changes in the material were observed.

[0050] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0051] Table 1 Performance Test Results

[0052] As shown in Table 1, the densities of Examples 1-3 range from 1.03 to 1.08 g / cm³. 3 The concentration is significantly lower than that of traditional polyurethane running track materials (typically 1.3~1.5 g / cm³). 3By introducing modified hollow glass microspheres, the material density was effectively reduced while maintaining excellent mechanical properties and stability. The densities of Comparative Examples 1-7 ranged from 1.35 to 1.48 g / cm³. 3 The density of these materials is close to or higher than that of traditional materials, highlighting the importance of formulation optimization in this invention.

[0053] According to the viscosity data in Table 1, the viscosity of component A in Examples 1-3 is between 2800 and 3500 cP, which is within the ideal process range and beneficial for application and curing. The viscosity of Comparative Examples 1-7 is generally too high. Excessively high viscosity may lead to difficulties in application and prolonged curing time. This indicates that the present invention has successfully reduced viscosity and improved operability through process control and formulation optimization.

[0054] According to the tensile strength data in Table 1, the tensile strengths of Examples 1-3 are between 2.7 and 2.9 MPa, meeting the requirements for high-standard runway materials. The tensile strengths of Comparative Examples 1-7 are between 1.8 and 2.2 MPa, significantly lower than those of the Examples. This indicates that unmodified materials or process defects can lead to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the material. The present invention, by introducing components such as polymeric polyols, amino-terminated polyether thickeners, and silane coupling agents, significantly improves the tensile strength of the material.

[0055] According to the slurry stability data in Table 1, component A of Examples 1-3 showed no stratification after standing at 45°C for 48 days, indicating good system stability. However, Comparative Examples 1-7 generally exhibited stratification issues, with stratification becoming more severe the shorter the standing time. This demonstrates that the five-fold buoyancy suppression system constructed in this invention effectively solves the problem of glass microsphere flotation, improving the uniformity and stability of the material.

[0056] In summary, the performance data from Examples 1-3 demonstrate that this invention, through optimized formulation and process, effectively reduces the density of polyurethane running track materials while significantly improving mechanical properties and stability. Comparative Examples 1-7, due to the lack of key components or insufficient process control, exhibit higher density, higher viscosity, decreased mechanical properties, and poor stability. This highlights the importance of each step and component in the technical solution of this invention, proving that it can significantly improve overall performance while reducing material density, demonstrating promising application prospects.
