Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials, and in particular to an outdoor polyurethane wood composite board with a long service life and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for the aesthetics, practicality, and durability of outdoor buildings continue to increase, the performance and quality of outdoor building materials have become crucial. Traditional outdoor building materials, such as ordinary wood, while possessing a natural texture, are easily affected by environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and ultraviolet radiation, leading to problems such as rot, deformation, and cracking, resulting in a relatively short service life. Common wood-plastic composite boards, on the other hand, are insufficient in terms of strength, toughness, and weather resistance, making them unsuitable for long-term outdoor use. The demand for building materials in outdoor construction projects is constantly increasing. Traditional outdoor composite wood-based panels, such as OSB and particleboard, are often prepared using urea-formaldehyde and phenolic resins. These resins require high-temperature reactions, limiting the thickness of the boards and resulting in poor water resistance, making them prone to swelling and cracking outdoors. Simultaneously, wood itself is susceptible to strong ultraviolet radiation and moisture erosion outdoors, leading to degradation, powdering, mold, and fading, and may also be affected by termites and other insect infestations, further impacting its lifespan.

[0003] Polyurethane-wood composites combine the environmentally friendly and renewable properties of wood with the high adhesion and foaming properties of polyurethane resin, making them widely used in construction and decoration. However, traditional polyurethane / wood composites suffer from two major bottlenecks: firstly, wood itself is prone to decay and mold, significantly shortening its lifespan in humid environments; secondly, the overall mechanical properties, especially bending and impact resistance, of pure resin-wood composites sometimes fail to meet the requirements of load-bearing or long-term dynamic loads. Existing technologies include single-treatment of wood with preservatives or simple addition of reinforcing fibers, but these often suffer from insufficient durability of preservatives, weak interfacial bonding, or complex processes. Currently, while some polyurethane-wood composite boards exist on the market, there is still room for improvement in addressing these issues. For example, some existing patents improve performance by adding specific additives or changing the preparation process, but these still struggle to achieve a comprehensive improvement in overall performance and a significant extension of lifespan. Therefore, developing a long-life, high-performance outdoor polyurethane-wood composite board and its preparation method is of significant practical importance.

[0004] Limitations and Improvement Needs of Existing Technologies: While polyurethane materials offer numerous advantages, conventional polyurethane composite panels still face challenges such as poor weather resistance and susceptibility to aging when used outdoors. Some polyurethane composite panels using fiberglass or similar reinforcing fibers also suffer from high density and high energy consumption during production. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new type of outdoor panel that leverages the advantages of both polyurethane and wood while overcoming the shortcomings of existing materials, thereby improving the panel's service life and mechanical properties outdoors.

[0005] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide a formula for an outdoor polyurethane wood composite board with a long service life; another purpose of this invention is to provide an outdoor polyurethane wood composite board with a long service life and its preparation method.

[0075] After depressurization, cooling, trimming, and sanding, polyurethane fiberglass cloth reinforced polyurethane wood composite board 2 is obtained.

[0076] Comparative Example 3:

[0077] Weigh 20 kg of nano-silica (average particle size 70 nm), 10.0 kg of silane coupling agent KH550, and 12 kg of hexaethyl pyrosilicate and disperse them in 350 L of 90% ethanol aqueous solution, and stir until uniformly dispersed.

[0082] After depressurization, cooling, trimming, and sanding, polyurethane fiberglass cloth reinforced polyurethane wood composite board 3 is obtained.

[0083] Performance testing:

[0084] Performance tests were conducted on each embodiment and comparative example: flexural strength was tested according to GB / T1449; compressive strength was tested according to GJB1585A; mildew resistance (28 days) was tested according to GB / T18261; and corrosion resistance (28-day decay fungus test weight loss %) was tested according to GB / T 13942.1. After boiling in water for 6 hours, the strength retention rate of each sample was tested. The results are shown in the table below.

[0085]

[0086] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that without the addition of silane coupling agent, the flexural strength of polyurethane wood composite board decreases by 12.6%. Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that without the addition of nano-silica, the flexural strength of polyurethane wood composite board decreases by 37%, and the strength retention rate decreases by 47.1% after accelerated aging (boiling in water for 6 hours). This indicates that silane coupling agent and nano-silica can significantly improve the strength of polyurethane wood composite board, and nano-silica can also greatly improve the moisture-proof performance of the reinforcing agent. Silane coupling agent, acting as a "molecular bridge," can improve the interfacial compatibility and bonding strength between organic (wood, resin) and inorganic (nano-SiO2) materials, thereby achieving the above-mentioned effects.

[0087] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 3, the addition of copper azole preservatives resulted in polyurethane wood composite boards with a mildew resistance rating of 0 and a weight loss rate as low as 1.1% in the 28-day decay fungus test. This indicates that copper azole preservatives can provide highly efficient and environmentally friendly anti-corrosion and anti-mildew properties in polyurethane wood composite boards.

[0088] By employing the synergistic effect of nano-silica, silane coupling agent, and copper azole preservative, a polyurethane wood composite board with a long service life and suitable for outdoor use is prepared.

[0089] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
