Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flame retardant materials technology, specifically relating to a high-temperature resistant flame retardant material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Heat-shrinkable materials, also known as polymer shape memory materials, are intelligent materials that combine polymer materials with radiation processing technology. Ordinary polymer materials such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride are usually linear structures. After being irradiated by radiation sources such as electron accelerators, they become network structures. These materials then possess a unique "memory effect," meaning that materials that expand when heated and solidify when cooled can shrink back to their original shape upon heating. They can be applied in industries such as electronics, home appliances, communications, power, automobiles, and pipeline corrosion protection.

[0003] Most flame-retardant heat-shrinkable materials use halogenated flame retardants. For example, Chinese patent application CN110144077A discloses a polyolefin heat-shrinkable marking sleeve and its preparation method. The formula uses a compound product of decabromodiphenyl ethane and antimony trioxide as a flame retardant. Although it has a certain flame-retardant effect, bromine-based flame retardants release toxic hydrogen bromide gas when burning and may produce harmful substances that affect human health.

[0004] To avoid the aforementioned problems, researchers have added halogen-free flame retardants, mainly magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, to flame-retardant heat-shrinkable materials. For example, Chinese patent application CN105273296A discloses a polyolefin heat-shrinkable tube for busbar insulation and its preparation method. This technical solution uses magnesium hydroxide and microcapsule red phosphorus as flame retardants. Although it does not contain halogen-containing flame retardants, the amount of magnesium hydroxide in the formula is relatively large. The addition of a large amount of inorganic filler can easily disrupt the continuity of the polyolefin matrix, resulting in a significant increase in material hardness and a decrease in flexibility and elasticity. This affects indicators such as tensile strength and elongation at break, thus impacting the reliability of the product under complex working conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Existing flame retardant materials suffer from the problem of requiring a large amount of halogen-free flame retardant, which affects product performance. To address this issue, this invention provides a high-temperature resistant flame retardant material and its preparation method.

[0006] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0007] This invention provides a high-temperature resistant flame-retardant material, composed of the following components in parts by weight:

[0008] 50-60 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, 10-20 parts of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, 2-5 parts of maleic anhydride-grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate, 20-25 parts of flame retardant, 1-2 parts of graphene, 5-8 parts of citrate ester plasticizer, 0.5-1 part of calcium stearate, 1-2 parts of paraffin wax, 0.5-1 part of antioxidant, and 1-3 parts of sensitizing crosslinking agent;

[0009] The flame retardant is prepared by mixing phosphorus-modified nanocellulose, modified zinc borate, and melamine.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and EPDM rubber complement each other, providing properties such as flexibility and impact resistance. Vinyl acetate groups can form hydrogen bonds with phosphorus-modified nanocellulose, improving interfacial bonding and enhancing the elasticity of the blend system. Phosphorus-modified nanocellulose is compounded with modified zinc borate and melamine, while graphene acts as a nanoframework to enhance the strength of the carbon layer, forming a phosphorus-nitrogen-boron-graphene synergistic flame retardant system. Calcium stearate and paraffin wax form a composite lubricant, which is compounded with maleic anhydride-grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate to maintain good processing fluidity. The synergistic effect of multiple components improves the flame retardant efficiency, mechanical properties, and processing adaptability of the material.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of phosphorus-modified nanocellulose, modified zinc borate, and melamine is (3-5):(1-2):1.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, phosphorus-modified nanocellulose and modified zinc borate form a composite network, with melamine uniformly dispersed within it. At high temperature, phosphide is catalyzed to form carbon, creating a carbon layer framework. B2O3 generated from the decomposition of zinc borate fills the pores of the carbon layer, improving its density. The gas generated from the decomposition of melamine causes the carbon layer to expand, forming a heat-insulating structure. However, excessive use of phosphorus-modified nanocellulose can lead to excessively rigid materials. When the amount of melamine is too low, the carbon layer expansion effect is poor, while excessive use can easily compete with phosphorus-modified nanocellulose for matrix compatibility.

[0013] Preferably, the preparation method of the P-NC includes the following steps:

[0014] (1a) Mix nanocellulose and dimethyl sulfoxide evenly, disperse by ultrasonication, add triethylamine under anaerobic conditions and mix evenly to obtain mixture 1;

[0015] (1b) Add phosphorus oxychloride dropwise to mixture 1 and mix well. After the addition is complete, heat the mixture to react, centrifuge, wash, and dry to obtain phosphorus-modified nanocellulose.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, phosphorus is introduced into nanocellulose. At high temperature, phosphorus can be converted into polyphosphoric acid, which catalyzes the dehydration of matrix resins such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer into carbon, thereby increasing the carbon layer residue. The rigid skeleton of nanocellulose supports the carbon layer structure, inhibits crack propagation, and forms a continuous and dense heat insulation layer. It is halogen-free, releases no toxic gases during combustion, and reduces smoke density.

[0017] Preferably, the mass ratio of nanocellulose to phosphorus oxychloride is 1:(2-3); and the mass ratio of triethylamine to phosphorus oxychloride is (1.8-2.2):1.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, excessive phosphorus oxychloride can easily lead to a loose char layer structure, while insufficient phosphorus oxychloride cannot form a continuous char layer and is prone to melting and dripping during combustion. Excessive triethylamine is difficult to completely remove by washing and is prone to residue. When triethylamine is insufficient, phosphorus oxychloride is prone to hydrolysis, consuming the effective phosphorus source and reducing the phosphorus loading rate.

[0019] Preferably, in step (1b), the temperature of the droplet is 0-5℃; the reaction temperature is 60-70℃; and the reaction time is 12-20h.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, adding phosphorus oxychloride dropwise at a lower temperature can reduce the hydrolysis rate of POCl3 and avoid violent reactions.

[0021] Preferably, the preparation method of modified zinc borate includes the following steps:

[0022] (2a) Mix zinc borate, anhydrous ethanol and water evenly to obtain mixture 2;

[0023] (2b) Mix the aluminate coupling agent with anhydrous ethanol to obtain mixture 3;

[0024] (2c) Mix mixture 2 and mixture 3 evenly, heat to react, filter, wash, and dry to obtain modified zinc borate.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the aluminate coupling agent can bond to the surface of zinc borate, reducing the agglomeration of zinc borate, while the long carbon chain group can entangle or crosslink with the resin, reducing the interfacial tension between the resin and other components such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

[0026] Preferably, the amount of aluminate coupling agent used is 1%-3% of the mass of zinc borate.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, insufficient use of aluminate coupling agent and insufficient surface hydroxyl coverage can easily lead to zinc borate agglomeration; excessive use of aluminate coupling agent will form multilayer physical adsorption and weaken the interfacial bonding force.

[0028] Preferably, in step (2c), the reaction temperature is 45-55℃ and the reaction time is 2-4h.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the coupling agent and zinc borate can be efficiently bonded at the specified reaction temperature and time.

[0030] Preferably, the citrate plasticizer is selected from either tributyl citrate or acetylated tributyl citrate.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the ester groups of citrate plasticizers can form hydrogen bonds with the vinyl acetate groups in ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and the hydroxyl groups in phosphorus-modified nanocellulose, etc., and are uniformly dispersed in the matrix, which can avoid flame retardant agglomeration caused by plasticizer migration.

[0032] Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned high-temperature resistant flame-retardant material, comprising the following steps:

[0033] (S1) Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, maleic anhydride-grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate, flame retardant, graphene, citrate plasticizer, calcium stearate, paraffin wax, antioxidant and sensitizing crosslinking agent are mixed and then mixed evenly in an internal mixer at 110-120℃ to obtain a compound.

[0034] (S2) The compound is extruded and granulated in a single screw extruder at 120-140℃ to obtain granules;

[0035] (S3) The granules are extruded in a screw extruder at 120-140℃ to obtain pipes;

[0036] (S4) Irradiate the pipe to crosslink it. The irradiation dose is 6-10 Mrad. The crosslinked pipe expands 1-4 times at a temperature of 120-150℃ to obtain a high-temperature flame-retardant material.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solutions, the mixing and extrusion processes ensure component dispersion and structural uniformity, with a wide extrusion temperature range and high process stability. Irradiation can cause cross-linking reactions in polymer chains to form a three-dimensional network structure, which can inhibit the thermal decomposition of the polymer matrix and the release of flammable gases, and slow down the combustion rate. At the same time, the cross-linking process enhances the intermolecular forces, thereby improving tensile strength and impact resistance.

[0038] In summary, the beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0039] (1) This invention uses ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber as base materials, combined with maleic anhydride grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate compatibilizer, and forms a flame retardant by compounding phosphorus-modified nanocellulose and modified zinc borate and adding melamine, and adds antioxidants, composite lubricants and other related additives to make a high temperature resistant flame retardant material, which has good flame retardant effect and processing fluidity and other properties;

[0040] (2) The phosphorus-modified nanocellulose prepared in this invention forms a three-dimensional network skeleton in the matrix, supports the carbon layer structure, forms a continuous and dense heat insulation layer, improves the tensile strength of the material, and can also form hydrogen bonds with the vinyl acetate unit of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer to improve interfacial compatibility.

[0041] (3) In this invention, the surface of zinc borate is modified by an aluminate coupling agent. The aluminate groups on the modified zinc borate surface can form hydrogen bonds with the amino groups of melamine, promoting the uniform distribution of melamine on the surface of zinc borate. At high temperature, the gas generated by the decomposition of melamine is wrapped by zinc borate to form an expanded foam carbon layer, which enhances the heat insulation effect.
