Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sealant, in particular to a polyurethane grouting material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyurethane grouting material is widely used in highway crack repair, foundation reinforcement and waterproof plugging engineering due to its excellent permeability and construction convenience. Polyurethane grouting material is mainly divided into two categories: hydrophilic type and hydrophobic type, their preparation principles and formulations are different, but the core chemical basis is the polymerization reaction of isocyanate and polyol, the main raw materials include: isocyanate, oligomer polyol, additives (catalyst, plasticizer, flame retardant, etc.), isocyanate and oligomer polyol react to form a prepolymer agent with isocyanate groups (-NCO) at the end, during construction, the prepolymer reacts with moisture (or additional catalyst, hydroxyl-containing compounds), the foaming rate of the hydrophobic type is relatively low, and the foam structure is relatively dense. It is mainly used for structural reinforcement, foundation lifting and void filling.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN103173006A discloses a preparation method of a hydrophobic polyurethane grouting material, (1) mixing polyether polyol and chain extender uniformly, dehydrating and degassing to a water content of less than 0.05%, cooling to 30-50℃, then adding isocyanate, and reacting at a temperature of 78-85℃ for 2-3 hours to obtain a polyurethane prepolymer, the reaction endpoint is determined by the -NCO wt% content of the polyurethane prepolymer being 10-20%; wherein the weight ratio of polyether polyol: chain extender: isocyanate in the raw materials of the polyurethane prepolymer is (15-30): (0.75-3): (67-84.25);

[0004] (2) After cooling the above polyurethane prepolymer to 45℃-70℃, adding 7-10% of a solvent, 0.001-0.004% of a retarder, 1-5% of a surfactant, 0.1-2% of a catalyst and 10-30% of a plasticizer, and mixing uniformly, it is ready; wherein the percentages are weight percentages of the polyurethane prepolymer;

[0005] The polyether polyol includes polyoxypropylene polyol; the chain extender includes ethylene glycol and / or butanediol, the isocyanate includes diisocyanate and / or polyisocyanate; wherein the diisocyanate is diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate, and the polyisocyanate is polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate; the catalyst is a tertiary amine catalyst; the plasticizer is one or more of diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate and dioctyl phthalate; and the solvent is an organic ketone solvent. The compressive strength is 15-17kPa, and it will further decrease in a humid environment.

[0006] For example, Chinese patent document CN102341421A discloses a polyurethane foam comprising a lipid-based polyol, the isocyanate-modified polyol being used in a production process for the production of a polyurethane foam (preferably flexible) by reacting at least one polyol with at least one polyfunctional isocyanate, wherein the proportion of isocyanate is from 0.01% (preferably 0.05%, most preferably 0.1%) to 70%, preferably 60%, preferably 50%, preferably 33%, most preferably 30%, of the weight of isocyanate theoretically required for the reaction with all the available hydroxyl groups of the polyol, wherein the isocyanate-modified polyol has available hydroxyl groups for reaction with further isocyanate, the at least one polyol used to produce the isocyanate-modified polyol comprising a lipid-based polyol which preferably reacts with isocyanate in the presence of a polyurethane gel catalyst.

[0007] The conventional foaming type polyurethane material has a significant shortcoming in practical application: the density of the polyurethane grouting material decreases sharply in a humid environment, which seriously weakens the mechanical strength, resulting in insufficient adhesion to the concrete cracks and reduced reinforcement effect. Not only does it affect the penetration and filling capacity in the water-containing cracks, but also it increases the cost of the material and process. The existing grouting material is difficult to balance between application effect and economic benefit, which greatly limits its application scenarios. SUMMARY

[0008] The present application provides a polyurethane grouting material to solve the technical problem of low mechanical strength of polyurethane grouting material in a humid environment, comprising component A and component B, characterized in that component A uses long-chain fatty acid modified polyether polyol as the matrix; component B uses bio-based epoxy resin modified polyurethane prepolymer complex as the matrix.

[0009] Preferably, the bio-based epoxy resin is at least one of epoxy soybean oil, epoxy castor oil, and epoxy palm oil.

[0010] Preferably, the long-chain fatty acid is at least one of lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid.

[0011] Preferably, the weight ratio of components A and B is 100:100-120.

[0012] A preparation method of a polyurethane grouting material, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Step 1, preparation of component A: weigh 60-80 parts of long-chain fatty acid modified polyether polyol, 10-20 parts of toughening agent, 3-5 parts of foaming agent, 1-3 parts of adhesion promoter, 0.5-1 part of antioxidant, and 0.5-1 part of catalyst, continuously stir at room temperature for 1 h, to obtain long-chain fatty acid modified polyether polyol, which is component A.

[0014] Step 2, preparation of component B: 50-60 parts of bio-based epoxy resin is dehydrated, and 120-140 parts of isocyanate trimer is added dropwise under the protection of nitrogen to obtain a bio-based epoxy resin modified polyurethane prepolymer; secondly, 20-30 parts of a toughening agent and 10-15 parts of a diluent are added, and stirring is carried out at room temperature for 0.5 h to obtain a bio-based epoxy resin modified polyurethane prepolymer compound, which is component B;

[0015] Step 3: uniformly mixing components A and B at room temperature at a weight ratio of 100:100~120 to obtain a low water sensitivity high strength polyurethane grouting material.

[0016] Preferably, the preparation of long-chain fatty acid modified polyether polyol: 100-120 parts of polyether polyol and 50-60 parts of long-chain fatty acid are added, and 1-3 parts of a titanate catalyst is added, and heating and stirring are carried out to obtain a long-chain fatty acid modified polyether polyol.

[0017] Preferably, the preparation of isocyanate trimer: 40-60 parts of polyisocyanate is weighed; then 0.1-0.3 parts of a catalyst is dissolved in 20-30 parts of an aprotic solvent to prepare a solution, and the solution is slowly added dropwise under a nitrogen atmosphere, continuous stirring is carried out, 0.1 parts of phosphoric acid is added, continuous stirring is carried out, and finally excessive aprotic solvent and polyisocyanate are removed by distillation.

[0018] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The present application proposes a multiple synergistic hydrophobic modification scheme aiming at the technical defects of high water sensitivity and easy excessive foaming of existing polyurethane grouting materials when encountering water, which leads to a decrease in strength. First, the end group of polyether polyol is modified by long-chain acid to significantly enhance the hydrophobic properties of the molecular chain; then bio-based epoxy resin is introduced into the system to further strengthen the water resistance of the material body; at the same time, a special hydrophobic catalyst is compounded to ensure that a low water sensitivity environment can be maintained during the curing reaction stage. The above three ways synergistically act on the three levels of molecular design, component compounding and reaction catalysis, and together build an efficient and stable multiple hydrophobic protection system, thereby significantly reducing the sensitivity of the material to water in a fundamental way, realizing the unity of low water absorption, high stability and good mechanical properties, and effectively overcoming the common problem of foaming out of control and insufficient strength of traditional materials in a humid environment.

[0020] 2、The present application is aimed at the problem of low strength of existing foaming polyurethane grouting materials, and innovatively constructs a cross-linking structure with multiple enhancement synergies. By introducing a bio-based epoxy resin with high-rigidity molecular chains, the mechanical strength and overall cross-linking density of the material body are effectively improved; meanwhile, the trimerization reaction of isocyanate groups is utilized to form a stable isocyanurate ring network, further strengthening the cross-linking degree of the system. These two enhancement mechanisms synergize with each other to construct a stereo network with rigidity and flexibility and high-density cross-linking inside the material, thereby realizing controllable foaming while significantly guaranteeing and improving the mechanical properties of the material in a high-foaming state.
