Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rock wool board technology, and particularly relates to a fireproof rock wool board and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Rock wool board is a Class A non-combustible thermal insulation material made from natural minerals such as basalt as the main raw material. After being melted at high temperature, centrifuged into fibers, and then cured with an appropriate amount of binder, it has become a high-end building safety standard. With the improvement of building safety standards, the market has put forward higher requirements for the fire resistance limit, smoke toxicity and long-term stability of rock wool board.
[0003] To improve fire resistance, existing technologies typically add aluminum hydroxide as a flame retardant to rock wool fibers. On the one hand, a large amount of aluminum hydroxide powder forms stress defect points in the rock wool fiber network, severely damaging the integrity of the three-dimensional fiber skeleton and causing a significant decrease in the tensile strength of the board perpendicular to the surface, which cannot meet the high requirements for anchor pull-out force of high-rise building exterior wall insulation. On the other hand, the flame retardant mechanism is singular and its protection against sustained high-temperature fires is insufficient. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fireproof rock wool board and its preparation method to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A fireproof rock wool board comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 55-65 parts basalt, 15-25 parts slag, 8-12 parts high silica sand, 8-12 parts bauxite, 3-7 parts dolomite, 3-7 parts boron mud, 30-40 parts flame retardant, 8-12 parts binder, 0.5-1.0 parts silane coupling agent I, and 0.5-1.0 parts water repellent. The flame retardant comprises the following components in parts by weight: 20-28 parts of surface-modified aluminum hydroxide, 4-6 parts of zinc borate, and 6-8 parts of one-stage activated boron mud.
[0006] According to claim 1, the fireproof rock wool board, the adhesive comprises the following components in parts by weight: 5.6-8.4 parts of silica sol and 1.0-1.8 parts of water-based phenolic resin.
[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the solid content of the silica sol is 30%, and the solid content of the waterborne phenolic resin is 50%.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the preparation method of the surface-modified aluminum hydroxide includes the following steps: mixing 0.5%-1.5% by weight of aluminum hydroxide powder with silane coupling agent II and anhydrous ethanol at a mass ratio of 1:10 to aluminum hydroxide powder, stirring until completely dissolved, and preparing a modifier solution. Aluminum hydroxide powder was added to the above-mentioned modifier solution, and stirred and dried under constant temperature of 80℃ and stirring conditions of 400-600r / min.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the preparation method of the first-stage activated boron mud is as follows: calcining the boron mud at 450-500℃ for 1-2 hours, cooling it and then pulverizing it to 100-200 mesh.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the hydrophobic agent is emulsified silicone oil or octyltriethoxysilane emulsion.
[0011] The method for preparing a fire-resistant rock wool board as described above includes the following steps: S1 was used to prepare surface-modified aluminum hydroxide and one-stage activated boron mud, and to prepare flame retardants and binders; S2. Mix basalt, slag, high silica sand, bauxite, dolomite, and boron mud evenly, crush, melt, spin into fibers, add binder, silane coupling agent and water-repellent agent to obtain rock wool fiber; S3. Introduce the flame retardant evenly into the fiber layer of the rock wool fiber, lay it up, and form a slab; S4. Cold press the slab into shape and cure it.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S1, the step of preparing the flame retardant includes: dry mixing surface-modified aluminum hydroxide, zinc borate and first-stage activated boron mud for 10-20 minutes.
[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The flame retardant of this invention comprises surface-modified aluminum hydroxide, zinc borate, and a one-stage activated boron mud, constructing a multi-layered synergistic flame retardant mechanism to form a complementary effect rather than a single mechanism. Among them, surface-modified aluminum hydroxide is used for core heat absorption and flame retardancy, providing initial fire protection; zinc borate is used to release borate esters at high temperatures, covering the fiber surface to form a heat-insulating char layer, while inhibiting smoke generation; the one-stage activated boron mud is used to form a glassy molten layer at high temperatures, encapsulating the fiber and blocking oxygen contact, and coping with prolonged high-temperature fires.
[0014] This invention not only uses boron mud as one of the raw materials for fiber formation in high-temperature melting, allowing its B2O3 to be incorporated into the rock wool fiber body, thus optimizing the fiber's thermal stability and fire resistance; but also uses first-stage activated boron mud as a flame retardant component, compounded with aluminum hydroxide and zinc borate, to supplement flame retardant elements and reduce the amount of expensive flame retardants; thus reducing industrial solid waste emissions and lowering raw material costs.
[0015] This invention employs surface-modified aluminum hydroxide: silane coupling agent I is used to form organic long chains on its surface, which enhances the interfacial bonding force between aluminum hydroxide and rock wool fibers and binders, allowing it to be uniformly dispersed in the fiber network, avoiding local agglomeration that forms stress defects, and reducing damage to the fiber skeleton.

[0042] The results of the above performance tests are shown in Table 1.
[0043] Table 1. Test results of mechanical and fire-resistant properties of rock wool boards Group Fire resistance limit (min) Tensile strength (kPa) Example 1 150 20.5 Example 2 165 23.8 Example 3 125 16.2 Example 4 158 22.3 Comparative Example 1 95 12.8 Comparative Example 2 100 11.5 Comparative Example 3 105 13.5 As shown in Table 1, the fireproof rock wool boards prepared in Examples 1-4 of the present invention have superior mechanical and fire-resistant properties compared with the comparative examples. The tensile strength can reach more than 16.2 kPa, and the preferred embodiment can reach more than 20 kPa.

[0044] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 did not add boron mud and first-stage activated boron mud to the flame retardant when preparing the rock wool board, Comparative Example 2 did not use silica sol in the binder when preparing the rock wool board, and Comparative Example 3 used unmodified aluminum hydroxide when preparing the flame retardant. The mechanical properties and fire resistance of Comparative Examples 1-3 all decreased significantly.
[0045] This invention adds a flame retardant composed of surface-modified aluminum hydroxide, zinc borate, and one-stage activated boron mud to rock wool boards. By utilizing the synergistic relay flame retardant mechanism of surface-modified aluminum hydroxide core heat absorption, zinc borate high-temperature charring and smoke suppression, and one-stage activated boron mud high-temperature glass formation and oxygen inhibition, the fire resistance limit of rock wool boards is effectively improved, overcoming the shortcomings of single flame retardant components with limited mechanism and insufficient protection against sustained high-temperature fires.
[0046] This invention uses silica sol and water-based phenolic resin as binders, and significantly improves the interfacial bonding force between the flame retardant, rock wool fibers, and binder by surface modification of aluminum hydroxide. The introduction of silica sol enhances the inorganic bonding network and works synergistically with the water-based phenolic resin. While reducing the organic content of the product, it effectively alleviates the cutting effect of high-filler flame retardant on the fiber skeleton, thus ensuring and improving the tensile strength of the rock wool board while achieving high flame retardancy.
