Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyurethane technology, specifically to a flame-retardant polyurethane foam material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Polyurethane foam (PUF) is a polymer material containing repeating urethane segments in its molecular chain. It is formed through addition polymerization of molecules with two or more isocyanate functional groups and polyols containing two or more reactive hydroxyl groups in a suitable catalyst and appropriate proportions. Polyurethane can be divided into two main categories: rigid and flexible. Due to its excellent flexibility, mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and weather resistance, it occupies a very important position in the new materials industry. Flexible polyurethane mainly has a thermoplastic linear structure, possessing excellent properties such as light weight, good elasticity, and low price, and is widely used in furniture, sound insulation, shock absorption, and filtration materials. Rigid polyurethane foam has intramolecular cross-linking, high strength, and is insoluble, mainly used in structural materials for construction, home appliances, automobiles, aerospace, and thermal insulation.

[0004] Currently, there are two main methods for synthesizing polyurethane foam: a one-step method, which directly prepares polyols, polyisocyanates, catalysts, and blowing agents in one step; and a prepolymer method, which first reacts polyisocyanates with polyols to obtain a prepolymer with isocyanate-terminated groups, and then mixes the prepolymer with blowing agents and other additives to prepare polyurethane foam. However, the aforementioned methods for synthesizing polyurethane foam have the following problems: due to the involvement of isocyanate groups in the reaction, it is extremely sensitive to environmental humidity and other factors during storage, affecting foam stability; at the same time, if chemical blowing agents such as water are used, the reaction rate of isocyanate groups with water is relatively fast, resulting in difficult construction; if physical blowing agents are used, such as fluorinated blowing agents, it will cause environmental pollution, and hydrocarbon blowing agents have high storage requirements and are prone to hazards.

[0005] Furthermore, polyurethane foam, as a foam material, contains flammable hydrogen bonds and possesses characteristics such as low density and large specific surface area. Polyurethane itself is a flammable organic polymer material; untreated polyurethane is extremely flammable when exposed to fire, with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) typically around 18%. When burning, its cellular structure has a large contact area with oxygen, producing a large amount of toxic fumes. Therefore, improving the flame retardancy of polyurethane foam is essential.

Furthermore, the addition of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (tris)-modified ammonium polyphosphate flame retardant, along with tannic acid coated on the outer surface of the polyurethane foam material, synergistically enhances the flame-retardant effect. Specifically, the flame-retardant polyurethane foam material provided by this invention has a compressive strength of up to 8 MPa, higher than the compressive strength (2-5 MPa) of polyurethane foam materials of the same density prepared by conventional methods.

[0030] Waterborne polyurethane contains a large number of carboxyl groups (-COOH), which are converted into carboxylates (-COO) after treatment with the neutralizing agent triethylamine (TEA).- This not only enables polyurethane to be stably dispersed in water (forming an aqueous emulsion), but also, when a zinc salt ethanol solution of a curing agent is added, Zn... 2+ It will interact with the -COO on the polyurethane chain - Coordination occurs (Zn) 2+ With multiple COOs - (Forming coordination bonds) and forming a three-dimensional cross-linked network can significantly enhance the intermolecular interaction, thereby resulting in better mechanical properties of polyurethane foam.

[0031] The added tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (tris) modified ammonium polyphosphate flame retardant contains a large number of hydroxyl groups (OH), which will form an intumescent flame retardant system when it synergistically flame retards with tannic acid (TA), thereby improving the char-forming ability of the flame retardant system and thus enhancing the flame retardant performance of flame retardant polyurethane foam materials.

Figure 1 As can be seen from the example, the flame-retardant polyurethane foam material prepared in Example 3 has a uniform and continuous microstructure, which is an important reason for its good compressive strength and flame-retardant properties.

[0052] The flame-retardant polyurethane foam material prepared in Example 3 and the polyurethane foam materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested for mechanical properties and density according to the national standard GB / T 8813-2020. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0053] The mechanical property testing method is as follows: compression tests are performed on different samples with a diameter of 20 mm and a height of 10 mm using the compression mode of a universal testing machine with a sensor of 2000 N.

[0054] The density test method is as follows: pour an appropriate amount of water into a graduated cylinder and read the volume as V1. Immerse the product in the graduated cylinder and read the volume as V2. The density calculation expression is: ρ=m / (V2-V1).

[0055] Table 1. Results of Mechanical Properties and Density Tests

[0056] As shown in Table 1, the compressive strength of the flame-retardant polyurethane foam material prepared in Example 3 can reach 8 MPa, which is higher than the compressive strength (2~5 MPa) of polyurethane foam material of the same density prepared by conventional methods; and the subsequent flame-retardant modification of the flame-retardant polyurethane foam material did not significantly affect the compressive strength of the foam material.

[0057] The thermal stability of the flame-retardant polyurethane foam material prepared in Example 3 and the polyurethane foam materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 was studied using thermogravimetric analysis. The tests were conducted under a nitrogen atmosphere with a heating rate of 10 °C / min from 30 °C to 800 °C. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0058] Table 2 Thermal stability results

[0059] The results in Table 2 show that the maximum thermal decomposition temperature and char rate at 800°C of the flame-retardant polyurethane foam material prepared in Example 3 were significantly improved compared with those of the unmodified polyurethane foam material in Comparative Example 1. This indicates that the synergistic effect of the ammonium polyphosphate flame-retardant filler and the tannic acid flame-retardant coating successfully enhanced the thermal stability of the polyurethane foam, which is beneficial to improving the flame-retardant performance of the material.
