AI Technical Summary
Existing polymer cement waterproof coatings have insufficient anti-seepage reliability during long-term service. The weak bonding force between organic polymers and inorganic mineral powders in the microstructure leads to microcracks and micropores, resulting in strong water permeability and affecting the safety and service life of building structures.

While maintaining excellent mechanical properties, the coating's density and impermeability have been significantly improved, with the impermeability pressure increased from 0.68MPa to 0.81MPa. This solves the problem of weak interfacial bonding and achieves long-term protection for the coating.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coating technology, and in particular to a super-strong impermeable polymer cement waterproof coating and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In modern construction engineering, the quality of waterproofing directly affects the structural safety and service life of buildings. Polymer cement waterproofing coatings, with their excellent physical and mechanical properties, good substrate adaptability, and environmentally friendly construction characteristics, have become a core material for key waterproofing areas such as basements, roofs, kitchens, and bathrooms. Major infrastructure projects and underground spaces place even more stringent demands on the superior impermeability of waterproofing coatings.
[0003] However, existing polymer cement waterproof coatings still exhibit significant shortcomings in their anti-seepage reliability during long-term service. Microstructural analysis reveals that waterproof coatings consist of interwoven organic emulsion film-forming substances and inorganic hydration products. Due to the substantial surface energy difference between organic polymers and inorganic mineral powders, the interface between the two phases often suffers from weak bonding and poor compatibility. During the coating curing and drying process, these interface defects easily evolve into penetrating microcracks or capillary channels. Under sustained high water pressure, moisture physically penetrates along these weak interfaces and micropores, causing the coating to swell, delaminate, or even fail, ultimately leading to steel corrosion and deterioration of the concrete structure.
[0004] To improve this situation, the industry has generally tried to introduce active mineral fillers for reinforcement. Sepiolite, as a natural fibrous hydrous magnesium silicate mineral, has an extremely high specific surface area and a unique layered chain nanoporous structure, making it theoretically an ideal material for improving the density of coatings. However, due to the large number of acidic hydroxyl groups on the surface of natural sepiolite and its strong hydrophilicity, direct addition of it easily leads to agglomeration, making it difficult to form a uniform barrier network in the polymer matrix.
[0005] Therefore, how to precisely modify and activate the surface of sepiolite through chemical means, and construct a "bridging" system that can both deeply integrate with cement hydration products and form strong chemical bonds with polymer molecular chains, so as to completely block microscopic water seepage channels, has become a key research direction in the field of high-performance waterproof materials to break through the anti-seepage bottleneck and achieve long-term protection. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a super-strong impermeable polymer cement waterproof coating and its preparation method.
[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A super-strong impermeable polymer cement waterproof coating is made by mixing liquid and powder in a mass ratio of 1:1. The liquid includes the following components in parts by weight: 4 parts distilled water, 0.1 parts defoamer XHD103, 0.8 parts film-forming aid alcohol ester-12, 0.4 parts dispersant DS-172, and 50 parts acrylic emulsion. The powder includes the following components in parts by weight: 20 parts calcium carbonate 350 mesh, 0.8 parts bentonite, 20 parts silica 100 mesh, 35 parts cement, and 1-10 parts functionalized sepiolite.
[0008] Furthermore, the functionalized sepiolite is (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane-functionalized acidified sepiolite.
[0009] Furthermore, the powder contains 8 parts by weight of (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane-functionalized acidified sepiolite.
[0010] Further, the preparation method of the (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane-functionalized acidified sepiolite includes the following steps: 1) Add 10g of natural sepiolite to 100mL of 4MHCl, stir at room temperature for 10h, filter, wash the precipitate with deionized water until chloride ions are undetectable, and dry to obtain acid-activated sepiolite; 2) Add 6g of acid-activated sepiolite to 150mL of toluene, and stir for 30min under a nitrogen atmosphere; 3) Add 6mL of (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane dropwise to the system in step 2), and reflux for 24h; 4) After filtering the precipitate, wash with ethanol and dry under nitrogen to obtain the final product.
[0011] Furthermore, the functionalized sepiolite is (2-mercaptoethyl)trimethoxysilane-functionalized acidified sepiolite.
[0012] Further, the preparation method of the (2-mercaptoethyl)trimethoxysilane-functionalized acidified sepiolite includes the following steps: 1) Add 10g of natural sepiolite to 100mL of 4MHCl, stir at room temperature for 10h, filter, wash the precipitate with deionized water until no chloride ions are detected, and dry to obtain acid-activated sepiolite; 2) Add 6g of acid-activated sepiolite to 150mL of toluene, and stir for 30min under a nitrogen atmosphere; 3) Add 6mL of (2-mercaptoethyl)trimethoxysilane dropwise to the system in step 2), and reflux for 24h; 4) After filtering the precipitate, wash with ethanol and dry under nitrogen to obtain the final product.
[0013] This invention also provides a method for preparing a super-strong impermeable polymer cement waterproof coating, comprising the following steps: 1) Preparing the liquid: adding acrylic emulsion to water, then adding film-forming aid, dispersant and defoamer, stirring for 30 minutes to obtain the liquid; 2) Preparing the powder: mixing cement, calcium carbonate, bentonite, silica and functionalized sepiolite in proportion, stirring for 30 minutes to obtain the powder; 3) Mixing: adding the liquid and powder in a 1:1 mass ratio to a mixer, stirring for 30 minutes to obtain the final product.
[0014] Furthermore, its elongation at break is 90%, its tensile strength is 1.84 MPa, and its impermeability is 0.70-0.81 MPa.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: This invention introduces a specific proportion of (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane to functionalize acidified sepiolite, significantly enhancing the system's density while maintaining excellent mechanical properties such as 90% elongation at break and 1.84 MPa tensile strength. This increases the impermeability pressure from 0.68 MPa in the base group to a maximum of 0.81 MPa. Through acid activation and silane functionalization modification, this method effectively improves the interfacial compatibility between inorganic fillers and organic emulsions, solving the problem of easy agglomeration of natural sepiolite. Without increasing the complexity of construction, it achieves a leapfrog improvement in the impermeability of the coating. Detailed Implementation

[0032] Test case The mechanical properties and impermeability of the coatings were tested in accordance with standards GB / T23445-2009 and GB / T16777-2008.
[0033] Table 1 Performance Tests
[0034] As can be seen from the performance test data in Table 1, in all 10 experimental samples, the two mechanical indicators, elongation at break and tensile strength, showed extremely high numerical stability, with the measured values remaining constant at 90% and 1.84 MPa, respectively, without fluctuations due to formula adjustments. However, the impermeability index showed a significant numerical gradient due to the differences in the composition and content of each component. Specifically, in Examples 1 to 5, with the increase of the amount of (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane-functionalized acidified sepiolite added, the impermeability pressure steadily increased from 0.70 MPa to a peak of 0.81 MPa. This value was significantly better than the data of each group that only changed the type of silane coupling agent, omitted the acid activation step, used natural sepiolite, or used only acidified sepiolite. Moreover, it was significantly improved compared to Comparative Example 5, which did not add any sepiolite component. This fully demonstrates the decisive influence of specific functionalized modified components on the impermeability numerical dimension of the coating.
