Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyurethane material preparation technology, specifically to a water-foamed polyurethane self-skinning motor cover material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane self-skinning foam, with its advantage of being able to form both the outer skin and core material in a single step, is widely used in automotive steering wheels, engine hoods, bicycle saddles, shoe materials, sporting goods, home armrests, and seats. Current all-water-foamed polyurethane self-skinning motor hood materials utilize all-water foaming technology, where water reacts with isocyanate to produce carbon dioxide gas as the blowing agent. This eliminates the need for physical blowing agents, resulting in a zero ODP value and the absence of volatile organic compounds, significantly improving the material's environmental performance. However, it has certain shortcomings in terms of density, thermal insulation, and self-cleaning properties.

[0003] For electric motors, since the temperature they generate during operation can reach over 100°C, when the aforementioned all-water polyurethane self-skinning foam material is applied to the traditional motor housing, this material is extremely inadequate in achieving long-term aging resistance in high-temperature environments above 150°C.

[0024] The present invention also provides a water-foamed polyurethane self-skinning motor cover material, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0025] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention provides a method for preparing a fully water-foamed polyurethane self-skinning motor cover material. Through screening 2-4 functional polyethers and polymeric polyols with hydroxyl values ​​of 18-32 mgKOH / g, and in combination with chain extenders and catalysts, different reaction processes are designed. Combined with a low mold temperature (25-75℃), a high temperature difference (100-120℃) is achieved at the internal reaction center. This results in different reaction rates on the contact mold surface and the formation of specific cell stability imbalances on the surface. After water foaming, the surface layer foaming diffusion rate is greater than the surface film formation rate, causing the foam cell walls to collapse due to their inability to resist gas escape. The process involves fusion to form a dense, non-porous layer with a thickness of 0.3-1.0 mm. Simultaneously, the three-component processing method significantly avoids compatibility issues with solid flame retardants and the resulting production and processing defects. The addition of liquid flame retardants to the isocyanate flame retardant prevents its inactivation in the polyether component. This effectively achieves a three-component system: A (polyether / polyester), B (isocyanate + liquid flame retardant), and C (solid flame retardant), with synergistic liquid-solid flame retardancy, resulting in higher flame retardant performance and an oxygen index >30%. Therefore, through the synergistic combination of structure and components, the final product achieves long-term high-temperature aging resistance. Specifically, this invention achieves surface urea bond stacking through the combination of solid and liquid flame retardants and surface self-skinning, enabling the material to achieve long-term aging resistance and high-efficiency V0-level flame retardancy in high-temperature environments >150℃, combining high heat aging resistance and flame retardant performance.

[0026] 2. This invention uses only water as a foaming agent for the foaming reaction, without using any physical foaming agent in combination. Water has a zero ODP value and is non-toxic and odorless, and does not produce volatile organic compounds, greatly improving the environmental performance of the material and being highly beneficial to industrial production safety. The special foam structure formed by all-water foaming gives the material a low molding filler density, effectively reducing the weight of the motor cover and achieving overall vehicle lightweighting. In addition, all-water foaming replaces physical foaming agents, reducing the use of physical foaming agents and reducing the need for additional physical foaming agent addition steps and equipment investment in the foaming machine, thus achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the process.

[0054] Example 11 The preparation method of the all-water-foamed polyurethane self-skinning motor cover material differs from that in Example 1 in that the raw material ratio is different, as detailed below: The composition of this embodiment is as follows: 79 parts polyether polyol 1, 15 parts grafted polyether polyol 1, 8 parts chain extender, 0.5 parts foam stabilizer, 0.3 parts catalyst A1, 0.5 parts ZR40, 0.2 parts ZR50, 0.3 parts DPA, 1.4 parts foaming agent water, 3 parts color paste, 50.2 parts polymerized diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 34.8 parts urethane-modified isocyanate, 10 parts liquid flame retardant, and 10.3 parts solid flame retardant. Other parameters and conditions in this embodiment are the same as in Example 1.

[0055] Comparative Example 1 The preparation method of the polyurethane motor cover material differs from that of Example 10 in that water is replaced with 6 parts by mass of physical foaming agent HFC-245fa, and the mold temperature is not controlled. Other parameters and conditions are the same as those in Example 10.

[0056] Comparative Example 2 The preparation method of the polyurethane motor cover material differs from that of Example 11 in that water is replaced with 6 parts by mass of physical foaming agent HFC-245fa, and the mold temperature is not controlled. Other parameters and conditions are the same as in Example 11.

[0059] The test results are shown in Tables 2 and 3 below.

[0062] The products obtained in Examples 1-11 of the present invention have excellent resistance to dry and humid heat aging under low product density conditions, good dimensional stability under high and low temperature and humid heat aging, and high flame retardancy and low odor characteristics of V0 level.

[0063] A comparison of Examples 1-11 with Comparative Examples 1-3 shows that the low-density conditions of the Examples exhibit superior physical properties compared to the high-density conditions of the Comparative Examples, while maintaining consistent appearance. This demonstrates that all-water foaming significantly reduces product density, thereby reducing casting volume, resulting in a 25-30% weight reduction, meeting the current market demands for lightweight and low-cost passenger vehicles. Furthermore, under the same catalyst content, the Examples demonstrate a lower odor level compared to the Comparative Examples, indicating that the novel formulation proposed in this invention exhibits better environmental friendliness than physically foaming agents. Moreover, under high-temperature dry heat aging and high-temperature high-humidity aging conditions, the attenuation rates of tensile strength, elongation at break, compressive strength, and dimensional shrinkage are significantly reduced. The products prepared using all-water foaming exhibit high heat resistance after both dry heat and wet heat aging, enabling them to withstand various environmental changes and demonstrating excellent weather resistance.

[0064] The synergistic flame retardancy of the solid and liquid flame retardants of this invention can significantly improve the flame retardant performance of the product, enabling the prepared polyurethane self-skinning foam to achieve V0 level flame retardancy and increase the oxygen index to over 30%.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
