Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyurethane materials technology, and in particular to a high flame-retardant polyurethane material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is an excellent polymer that combines the high elasticity of rubber with the plasticity of plastics, possessing mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and excellent resistance to chemical solvents and greases. However, the limiting oxygen index of thermoplastic polyurethane materials ranges from approximately 16-18%, making them highly flammable and exhibiting dripping during combustion, severely limiting their application in high-safety environments. In existing technologies, a common method to improve the flame-retardant properties of polyurethane elastomers is to add flame retardants.

[0003] However, the use of a single flame retardant is often insufficient to meet the requirements for high flame retardancy, and usually requires a high addition amount to achieve the ideal flame retardant effect, which can seriously affect the mechanical and processing properties of polyurethane materials. Conventional flame retardant synergistic compounding schemes include technologies such as "phosphorus-nitrogen synergy (CN105175777A)" and "bromine-antimony synergy (CN101875782A)," but most of the flame retardants used in these schemes have poor compatibility with polyurethane materials, resulting in a serious decline in the mechanical properties of polyurethane materials. Furthermore, the large amounts of bromine compounds, organophosphorus compounds, and heavy metals added will release a variety of harmful substances during combustion. These substances are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic, which will have a significant impact on environmental and safety issues.

[0004] Halogen-free flame retardants are considered an ideal alternative to bromine compounds and organophosphorus compounds in existing flame retardant systems because they do not release harmful gases such as hydrogen halides during use, making them more environmentally friendly and beneficial to human health. However, polyurethane materials using halogen-free flame retardants in existing technologies (CN103588946A) exhibit inferior performance compared to traditional flame retardant systems. Furthermore, the poor structural compatibility between halogen-free flame retardants and polyurethane materials leads to low flame retardant efficiency, requiring large-scale addition. Excessive addition of flame retardants disrupts the hydrogen bonds between polyurethane molecular chains, significantly reducing the mechanical properties of the polyurethane material and increasing production costs.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a novel flame retardant system for use in polyurethane materials that avoids the extensive use of halogenated flame retardants, has excellent structural compatibility with polyurethane, and produces polyurethane materials with both excellent mechanical properties and flame retardancy, while minimizing environmental and safety impacts, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a highly flame-retardant polyurethane material, its preparation method, and its application. By rationally compounding a flame retardant system and designing the component formulation of the raw materials for preparing the polyurethane material, the resulting polyurethane material possesses excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, and flame retardancy.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a highly flame-retardant polyurethane material, wherein the raw materials for preparing the highly flame-retardant polyurethane material include polyols, isocyanates and flame retardants.

[0009] The flame retardants include modified hydroxides, inorganic phosphorus flame retardants, and phosphate ester flame retardants.

[0010] This invention utilizes a rationally formulated flame retardant system. Phosphate ester flame retardants exhibit excellent compatibility with the polyurethane structure. When combined with halogen- and heavy metal-free hydroxides and inorganic phosphorus flame retardants, the amount of flame retardant used is significantly reduced compared to using a single flame retardant, while simultaneously improving the material's flame retardant performance. Furthermore, to further enhance the compatibility between the hydroxide and the polyurethane structure, this invention modifies the hydroxide. The modified hydroxide exhibits excellent compatibility with polyurethane, further improving the mechanical properties, heat resistance, and flame retardant properties of the polyurethane material.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of the isocyanate, polyol and flame retardant is 1:(0.8-1.3):(0.3-0.7).

[0012] Among them, 0.8-1.3 can be, for example, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3; 0.3-0.7 can be, for example, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 or 0.7.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of the modified hydroxide, inorganic phosphorus flame retardant and phosphate ester flame retardant is 1:(0.75-2.5):(0.75-2.5).

[0014] Among them, 0.75-2.5 can be, for example, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2 or 2.5, etc.

[0015] Preferably, the polyol comprises a polyether polyol.

[0016] Preferably, the number average molecular weight of the polyether polyol is 500-20000, for example, it can be 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 15000 or 20000.

[0017] Preferably, the polyether polyol includes any one or a combination of at least two of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, or polytetrahydrofuran polyol, and more preferably a combination of polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol.

[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of polyethylene glycol to polypropylene glycol is (1.2-1.6):1, for example, it can be 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.4:1, 1.5:1 or 1.6:1, etc.

[0019] In this invention, the preferred polyol is a combination of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG). PEG provides strength and modulus to the resulting polyurethane material, while PPG provides elasticity and toughness. By adjusting the ratio of the two, the mechanical strength and toughness of the polyurethane material can be balanced. Excessive PPG leads to insufficient strength and hardness, lack of support, and deteriorated mechanical properties; furthermore, the soft segments of the polyurethane material lack a fixed crystalline network, making the material prone to deformation. Insufficient PPG results in poor low-temperature flexibility, decreased hydrolysis resistance, and reduced elasticity. Furthermore, the addition of PEG and PPG also provides the polyurethane material with certain water absorption, antistatic properties, and hydrolysis resistance; within the aforementioned ratio range, the water absorption, antistatic, and hydrolysis resistance properties are also relatively excellent.

[0020] Preferably, the isocyanate includes any one or a combination of at least two of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) or isoflurone diisocyanate (IPDI), and is more preferably diphenylmethane diisocyanate.

[0021] The preferred isocyanate in this invention is diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). The symmetrical molecular structure of MDI allows the hard segments formed from it to arrange and stack more regularly in the polyurethane material, resulting in a dense and ordered microphase separation structure. Furthermore, its moderate reactivity ensures a moderate reaction rate during polyurethane formation, facilitating production and processing, and exhibits low toxicity during production.

[0022] Preferably, the modified hydroxide is prepared by the following preparation method, the preparation method comprising:

[0023] The modified hydroxide is obtained by mixing the hydroxide, modifier, silane coupling agent and solvent and reacting them.

[0024] Preferably, the mass ratio of the hydroxide, modifier and solvent is 1:(0.01-0.05):(0.5-15).

[0025] Among them, 0.01-0.05 can be, for example, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 or 0.05; 0.5-1.5 can be, for example, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5.

[0026] Preferably, the hydroxide includes aluminum hydroxide and / or magnesium hydroxide.

[0027] Preferably, the modifier includes a silane coupling agent.

[0028] Preferably, the solvent includes ethanol.

[0029] Preferably, the reaction is carried out under alkaline conditions.

[0030] Preferably, the pH value of the alkaline condition is 5.5-7, for example, it can be pH=5.5, pH=5.6, pH=5.8, pH=6, pH=6.2, pH=6.4, pH=6.5, pH=6.6, pH=6.8 or pH=7, etc.

[0031] Preferably, an alkaline substance is used to adjust the pH value of the reaction.

[0032] Preferably, the alkaline substance includes ammonia.

[0033] Preferably, the reaction is carried out under stirring.

[0034] Preferably, the stirring speed is 400-700 rpm, for example, 400 rpm, 500 rpm, 600 rpm or 700 rpm.

[0035] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 50-60℃, for example, 50℃, 52℃, 54℃, 55℃, 56℃, 58℃ or 60℃, and the reaction time is 1-4 h, for example, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h or 4 h.

[0036] Preferably, the modified hydroxide includes coupling agent modified aluminum hydroxide and / or coupling agent modified magnesium hydroxide.

[0037] Preferably, the inorganic phosphorus flame retardant includes any one or a combination of at least two of ammonium polyphosphate, ammonium phosphate salt, calcium phosphate, or magnesium phosphate, and more preferably ammonium polyphosphate.

[0038] Preferably, the phosphorus content of the phosphate ester flame retardant is 12-14%, for example, it can be 12%, 12.5%, 13%, 1.35% or 14%, etc.

[0039] Preferably, the phosphate ester flame retardant includes diphosphite flame retardants and / or phenyl phosphate flame retardants, and more preferably diphosphite flame retardants.

[0040] Preferably, the diphosphite flame retardant includes any one or a combination of at least two of tris(2-chloropropyl) phosphate, dipentaerythritol diphosphite, tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate, or tris(2,3-dichloropropyl) phosphate, and more preferably tris(2-chloropropyl) phosphate.

[0041] Preferably, the flame retardant comprises a combination of coupling agent-modified aluminum hydroxide, ammonium polyphosphate, and tris(2-chloropropyl) phosphate.

[0042] This invention preferably employs a combined flame retardant system of coupling agent-modified aluminum hydroxide, ammonium polyphosphate, and tris(2-chloropropyl) phosphate. This compounding method overcomes the various shortcomings of single flame retardants. The modified aluminum hydroxide, upon thermal decomposition, releases water vapor and absorbs a large amount of heat, delaying the decomposition of internal materials. Furthermore, the alumina produced during decomposition can coat the material surface, isolating oxygen from combustibles and reducing smoke generation. The tris(2-chloropropyl) phosphate, although containing chlorine, exhibits significant flame retardant effects, high thermal stability, and is less prone to producing harmful gases during combustion. Compared to other environmentally friendly flame retardants, it possesses stronger flame retardant performance, and compared to other phosphate ester flame retardants, it is more environmentally friendly. Moreover, phosphate ester flame retardants have excellent compatibility with the polyurethane structure. The synergistic use of these three components reduces the amount of flame retardant required and improves the flame retardant performance of the material.

[0043] Preferably, the raw materials for preparing the high flame-retardant polyurethane material also include additives.

[0044] Preferably, the mass ratio of the isocyanate to the additive is 1:(0.03-0.06), for example, it can be 1:0.03, 1:0.04, 1:0.05 or 1:0.06, etc.

[0045] Preferably, the additives include mold release agents and / or chain extenders.

[0046] Preferably, the additives include a release agent and a chain extender in a mass ratio of (6-8):1, for example, 6:1, 6.5:1, 7:1, 7.5:1, 8:1, etc.

[0047] Preferably, the release agent comprises fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and / or ethyl lactate.

[0048] Preferably, the weight-average molecular weight of the fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is 300-600, for example, it can be 300, 400, 500 or 600.

[0049] Preferably, the chain extender comprises any one or a combination of at least two of dimethylthiotoluenediamine, diethanolamine, diethyltoluenediamine, or ethylene glycol.

[0050] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a highly flame-retardant polyurethane material as described in the first aspect, the method comprising the following steps:

[0051] (1) Mix the polyol with optional additives to obtain premix A;

[0052] Isocyanate was mixed with flame retardant to obtain premix B;

[0053] (2) Mix premix A and premix B and react to obtain the high flame retardant polyurethane material.

[0054] Preferably, the reaction temperature in step (2) is 160-180℃, for example, 160℃, 165℃, 170℃, 175℃ or 180℃, and the reaction time is 0.5-2 h, for example, 0.5 h, 1 h, 1.5 h or 2 h.

[0055] Preferably, the reaction in step (2) further includes vacuum degassing.

[0056] Preferably, the temperature of the vacuum degassing is 50-70°C, for example, it can be 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C or 70°C.

[0057] Preferably, the vacuum degassing temperature is 20-40 min, for example, 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 35 min or 40 min.

[0058] Preferably, the vacuum degree of the vacuum degassing is -82 to -89 kPa, for example, it can be -82 kPa, -83 kPa, -84 kPa, -85 kPa, -86 kPa, -87 kPa, -88 kPa or -89 kPa, etc.

[0059] Thirdly, the present invention provides an application of the high flame-retardant polyurethane material as described in the first aspect in building materials.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0061] (1) By rationally compounding the flame retardant system and designing the formulation of the raw material components for preparing polyurethane materials, the present invention can achieve excellent flame retardant performance while reducing the total amount of flame retardant used. Furthermore, reducing the amount of flame retardant added to the resin matrix can avoid the problem of decreased mechanical properties of the resin matrix due to the large amount of flame retardant added, so that the polyurethane material obtained has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and flame retardancy.

[0121] The test results are shown in Table 2 below:

[0122] Table 2

[0123]

[0124] The test results show that:

[0125] (1) As can be seen from Examples 1 to 14, the present invention provides a high flame retardant polyurethane material with an oxygen index of 24.7-28.6% and a V-0 rating of UL-94 standard by reasonably compounding the flame retardant system and designing the formulation of the raw material components for the preparation of polyurethane material.

[0126] (2) As can be seen from Examples 1 and 4-6, the present invention further optimizes the polyol to be a combination of polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol.

If too much polypropylene glycol is added, the strength and hardness of the polyurethane material will be insufficient, lacking support and resulting in poor mechanical properties; moreover, the soft segments of the polyurethane material lack the fixation of the crystalline network, making the material prone to deformation. If too little polypropylene glycol is added, the low-temperature flexibility of the polyurethane material will deteriorate, the hydrolysis resistance will decrease, and the elasticity will decrease.

[0127] (3) As can be seen from Examples 1 and 7-10, the present invention, by further modifying the combined flame retardant system of aluminum hydroxide, ammonium polyphosphate and tri(2-chloropropyl) phosphate with coupling agent, can achieve excellent flame retardant performance while reducing the total amount of flame retardant. Furthermore, reducing the amount of flame retardant added to the resin matrix can avoid the problem of decreased mechanical properties of the resin matrix due to the large amount of flame retardant added.

[0128] (4) As can be seen from Examples 1 and 11-14 and Comparative Examples 1-6, the present invention can achieve better synergistic flame retardant effect by further limiting the mass ratio of the components in the combined flame retardant system of modified aluminum hydroxide, ammonium polyphosphate and tri(2-chloropropyl) phosphate.
