Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building insulation materials technology, specifically to a flame-retardant graphite polystyrene board and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Flame-retardant graphite polystyrene boards are widely used in building exterior wall insulation systems as a high-efficiency thermal insulation material. They improve both thermal insulation and fire resistance by adding graphite and flame retardants to a polystyrene substrate.
[0003] However, existing flame-retardant graphite polystyrene boards have been found to have insufficient mechanical properties and durability in practical use. These boards have poor impact resistance and are easily damaged during transportation, installation, or use. Furthermore, the added flame retardants can volatilize or migrate over long-term use, causing the flame-retardant performance to decline and affecting long-term safety and reliability. Secondly, there are fire safety concerns at high temperatures; the boards soften and decompose easily when exposed to high temperatures, and will burn upon contact with an open flame, producing molten drips and large amounts of toxic fumes, exacerbating the fire hazard. In addition, construction efficiency needs improvement; existing assembly methods for these boards are generally inefficient, affecting the overall construction progress. Therefore, we propose a flame-retardant graphite polystyrene board and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flame-retardant graphite polystyrene board and its preparation method, which has the advantages of high impact resistance, long-lasting flame retardancy, high fire safety, and convenient construction. It solves the problems found in the actual use of existing flame-retardant graphite polystyrene boards, such as insufficient mechanical properties and durability, poor impact resistance, easy damage during transportation, installation, or use, and the volatilization or migration of added flame retardants during long-term use, which leads to the decay of flame retardant performance over time and affects the long-term safety and reliability. Secondly, there are fire safety hazards at high temperatures. The board is prone to softening and decomposition at high temperatures, and will burn when exposed to open flames, producing molten drips and a large amount of toxic fumes, which exacerbates the fire hazard. In addition, the construction efficiency needs to be improved. The existing assembly and combination methods of the boards are usually inefficient, which affects the overall construction progress.

[0012] A method for preparing a flame-retardant graphite polystyrene board includes the steps of substrate preparation, protective layer preparation, and lamination. The substrate preparation includes the following steps: S1. Premix: High-impact polystyrene, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, nucleating agent talc, lubricant / dispersant, antioxidant, ultraviolet absorber, antistatic agent and polytetrafluoroethylene are added to a high-speed mixer and mixed at 60-75℃ for 5-8 minutes to obtain premix A; S2. Flame retardant system mixing: Expandable graphite, microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate, melamine cyanurate, zinc borate, nano silica, silicon carbide, nano graphene sheets, smoke suppressant ammonium molybdate, and KH-550 silane coupling agent are mixed evenly at low speed at room temperature to obtain flame retardant composite powder B. S3. Final mixing and foaming: Premix A, flame retardant composite powder B and chemical foaming agent azodicarbonamide are added to a twin-screw extruder, and after melt blending, extrusion, water cooling and pelletizing, foaming masterbatch is obtained. The masterbatch is then injected into a mold and foamed at a steam pressure of 0.12-0.15MPa and a temperature of 115-125℃.

P3. Casting and curing: The slurry is cast into the mold in which the substrate has been placed, filling the cavity of the connecting ear. After being compacted by vibration, the surface is smoothed and a sealing groove is opened. The substrate is then cured for 7 days at a temperature of 20±2℃ and a relative humidity of ≥95%. After demolding, the board body is obtained.
[0014] An exterior wall insulation system for buildings uses the aforementioned flame-retardant graphite polystyrene board as the insulation layer. Adjacent boards are connected to each other by fasteners passing through the connecting lugs, and the sealing grooves at the joints between the boards are filled with sealant.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention uses a composite of high-impact polystyrene matrix, toughening copolymer, nano-reinforcing materials, and a rigid protective layer reinforced with micro-macro dual fibers to give the board extremely high impact resistance, bending resistance, and crack resistance. It can withstand harsh working conditions during transportation and installation. Moreover, the protective layer fundamentally isolates the aging effects of ultraviolet rays and moisture on the organic substrate and effectively locks in the flame retardant in the substrate, preventing its migration and volatilization, thus ensuring the long-term stability of flame retardant performance.
[0016] 2. The substrate of the present invention adopts a multi-component synergistic flame retardant and smoke suppression system, including expanded graphite and microencapsulated flame retardant. The protective layer is a non-combustible inorganic material. When exposed to fire, the substrate expands into a dense carbon layer, while the protective layer acts as a robust heat insulation barrier. This dual action effectively inhibits the generation of molten drips, significantly reduces the release of toxic fumes, and greatly improves the fire safety level of buildings.
[0017] 3. This invention adopts a standardized, one-piece molded connecting ear, which enables rapid and accurate positioning and mechanized installation of the panels, eliminating the need for secondary on-site processing. Combined with the sealing groove design, it simplifies the joint sealing construction and makes the quality controllable, greatly improving the construction efficiency and overall airtightness, watertightness and fire resistance of the external wall insulation system.

Protective layer maintenance CNC laser cutting machine GWE-1530 model, accuracy ±0.05mm Connecting ear connecting hole processing (II) Substrate preparation steps (taking Example 2 as an example, the other examples only adjust the amount of raw materials, the process is the same) Premixing (step S1): Equipment debugging: Preheat the high-speed mixer to 68℃ and set the speed to 800r / min; Feeding sequence: First add 80 parts of high-impact polystyrene and 20 parts of SMA, and stir for 2 minutes to initially mix the resin particles; Then add 2.5 parts nucleating agent talc, 1.5 parts EBS, 0.3 parts antioxidant, 0.2 parts UV-531, 0.5 parts antistatic agent, and 1 part PTFE micro powder in sequence, and stir continuously for 6 minutes; Output standard: The material is in uniform granular form, without lumps or obvious dust, and the temperature is stable at around 70℃, thus obtaining premix A.
[0027] Flame retardant system mixing (step S2): Equipment debugging: Cool the high-speed mixer to room temperature and adjust the speed to 300r / min (low speed to avoid fiber breakage); Feeding sequence: First add 12 parts expandable graphite, 10 parts MCAPP, 6 parts MCA, and 2 parts zinc borate, and stir for 3 minutes; Add 2 parts of nano-silica, 1.5 parts of SiC nanowires, 1.5 parts of hydroxylated graphene, and 1 part of ammonium molybdate. Finally, spray with 0.8 parts of KH-550 silane coupling agent diluted 5 times and continue stirring for 8 minutes. Output standard: The powder is free from agglomeration, has no grainy feel when rubbed between the fingers, and the coupling agent is uniformly coated on the surface of the filler to obtain flame-retardant composite powder B.
[0028] Final mixing and foaming (step S3): Twin-screw extruder parameter settings: Section Feeding section (zone 1) Melting section (zone two) Blending section (zone three) Nose (Zone 4) temperature 148℃ 172℃ 180℃ 170℃ Screw speed 280r / min 300r / min 300r / min 290r / min Feeding and Granulation: Using a loss-in-weight weigher, 5 parts of premix A, flame-retardant composite powder B, and AC foaming agent are fed into an extruder in proportion. After the materials are melt-sheared and blended, they are extruded into strips through a Φ3mm die. The strips are cooled with 25℃ cooling water until there is no sticking on the surface. They are then cut into 3mm×3mm foaming masterbatches by a pelletizer. The moisture content of the masterbatches is controlled to be ≤0.3%. Steam foaming molding: The masterbatch is placed into a steam foaming mold preheated to 60°C, with a mold filling rate of 70%; saturated steam at 0.13MPa is introduced, the temperature is raised to 120°C, and the pressure is maintained for 4 minutes (to ensure that AC is fully decomposed and the cells grow uniformly); then the pressure is slowly released (pressure release rate 0.02MPa / s), and the mold is demolded after cooling to below 50°C to obtain a substrate 102 with dimensions of 3000mm×600mm×50mm; Post-treatment of substrate: After demolding, the substrate is placed in a curing chamber at 25°C and 60% humidity for 24 hours to eliminate internal stress and ensure dimensional stability.
[0029] (III) Protective layer preparation and composite steps (taking Example 2 as an example) Mold preparation (step P1): Mold cleaning: Apply a release agent (water-based silicone oil, coating thickness 0.05mm) to the inner wall of the composite molding mold to ensure that there are no foreign objects on the molding surface of the connecting ear cavity and the sealing groove; Substrate positioning: Place the cured substrate 102 into the center of the mold and fix it with the mold positioning pin. The gap between the substrate and the inner wall of the mold is uniform (2-3mm) to ensure that the protective layer thickness is consistent.
[0030] Slurry preparation (step P2): Dry mixing stage a: Add 50 parts of ordinary Portland cement, 22 parts of fly ash, 23 parts of slag powder and 5 parts of talc powder to a planetary mixer, rotate at 300 r / min and dry mix for 1.5 min to obtain uniform powder. Dry mixing stage b: Add 3.5 parts VAE latex powder, 3.5 parts acrylic latex powder, 4 parts KH-5500, 0.7 parts ceramic fiber, 0.4 parts polypropylene fiber, and 0.1 parts sodium gluconate. Adjust the speed to 500 r / min and continue dry mixing for 2.5 min to ensure that the fibers are dispersed and free of clumps. Wet mixing stage c: Take 35 parts of clean tap water, add 0.8 parts of polycarboxylate superplasticizer and 0.2 parts of silicone defoamer to 31.5 parts of water (accounting for 90% of the total water volume), and stir until completely dissolved; pour the aqueous solution into a mixer, and stir at 800 r / min for 4 min; then add the remaining 3.5 parts of water, adjust the speed to 1000 r / min, and stir for 1 min; Slurry testing: The slurry fluidity is controlled at 190mm (tested according to GB / T8077-2012), with no obvious bubbles or stratification, and the fluidity loss is ≤5mm after standing for 5 minutes.
[0031] Pouring and curing (step P3): Casting process: Slowly inject the slurry along the edge of the mold to avoid direct impact on the substrate surface, and completely fill the cavity of the connecting ear; Vibration compaction: Place the mold on a vibration table with an amplitude of 0.5 mm and a frequency of 50 Hz for 25 seconds to remove air bubbles from the slurry. Stop when no obvious air bubbles are observed overflowing from the surface of the slurry. Sealing groove forming: Before the slurry initially sets (30 minutes after pouring, when there is no obvious indentation when pressed with a finger), use a custom arc-shaped tool (2mm radius, 4mm width) to press a sealing groove 104 at the upper edge of the plate. The groove is 2mm deep and 4mm wide, ensuring continuity without any breaks. Standard curing: Move the mold into the standard curing room and cure it for 7 days at 20℃ and 96% relative humidity; during the curing period, check the humidity regularly every day to prevent condensation from forming on the mold surface and dripping onto the slurry surface; Demolding and post-processing: After curing, demold slowly (to avoid breakage of the connecting ear under stress); use a CNC laser cutting machine to process a Φ6mm countersunk hole (countersunk depth 3mm) on the inner surface of the connecting ear to obtain a complete plate 1.

Comparison of Examples and Process Adaptation Explanation Formula compatibility: Example 1: The cost is 12% lower than Example 2, and the long-term retention rate of impact strength and flame retardant performance is slightly lower (0.32MPa and 88%, respectively), but it meets the basic requirements for thermal insulation of ordinary buildings; Example 3: Impact strength reaches 0.45MPa, flame retardant performance retention rate is 95% over a long period of time, and thermal conductivity is as low as 0.029W / (m・K), making it suitable for scenarios with extremely high performance requirements. The cost is 18% higher than that of Example 2.
[0033] Key process control points: Substrate foaming: When the steam pressure is below 0.12MPa, AC decomposition is insufficient and the cell density is ≤450 cells / cm³; when it is above 0.15MPa, the cells are prone to rupture and the closed-cell rate drops to below 90%, so 0.13MPa is preferred. The fluidity of the protective layer slurry is as follows: when it is less than 180mm, the slurry cannot completely fill the cavity of the connecting ear; when it is greater than 200mm, the slurry is prone to flow, resulting in uneven thickness of the protective layer. Therefore, it is controlled at 185-195mm. Curing time: If the curing time is less than 6 days, the compressive strength of the protective layer will be ≤28MPa and the interlayer adhesion will be ≤0.25MPa; if the curing time is more than 8 days, the efficiency will decrease and the performance will not be significantly improved, so the curing time is determined to be 7 days.
[0034] Construction compatibility verification: Connecting lugs: Using M5 stainless steel fasteners 2 (compatible with connecting holes), the positioning time for splicing adjacent panels is ≤90s, which is 40% more efficient than traditional splicing methods; Sealing groove: Filled with silicone sealant (modulus 2.0MPa), the sealant layer adheres tightly to the groove, and after 72 hours of water immersion test, there is no water leakage, and the water tightness meets the standard.
[0035] VI. Precautions The nano-graphene sheets in the substrate material need to be stored in a sealed container to avoid moisture absorption and agglomeration. They need to be dried in an 80°C oven for 2 hours before use. After each use, the barrel of the twin-screw extruder must be cleaned with pure HIPS resin to avoid residual flame retardant affecting the next production. During the curing period of the protective layer, violent vibration of the mold is prohibited to prevent micro-cracks from forming at the junction of the connecting lug and the protective layer. Finished boards should be stacked to a height of ≤10 layers when stored, with foam boards placed between each layer to protect the connecting ears from compression and deformation.
[0036] This embodiment verifies the feasibility of the formula and process of the present invention by precisely controlling the specifications of raw materials and process parameters. The prepared flame-retardant graphite polystyrene board meets the design requirements in terms of mechanical properties, flame-retardant safety and construction convenience, and can be industrialized and mass-produced.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
