Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material technology, and in particular to a halogen-free, fluorine-free, environmentally friendly, flame-retardant PC composite material with light diffusion effect. [Background Technology]

[0002] With the rapid development of the display industry, LED lighting products have become increasingly mature and stable. Product requirements have shifted from high luminous efficiency and low cost to high light quality and light health. As a companion to LED light sources, the development trend of lampshade materials must keep pace with the rapid improvement of light quality and light health. The most common energy-saving LEDs are point light sources with high light intensity. If ordinary glass or transparent resin is used for the lampshade, prolonged use can cause irreversible damage to the eyes. Therefore, materials with light-diffusing properties have become a hot topic.

[0003] Polycarbonate (PC) has high light transmittance, making it one of the light diffusing agents with inherent advantages and the widest application prospects. However, PC's flame retardancy rating is UL94V-2, and it drips flammable cotton when exposed to fire, posing a safety hazard. A common method to improve the flame retardancy of PC is to use a combination of halogenated flame retardants and anti-dripping agents containing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Although halogenated flame retardants significantly improve flame retardancy, are low in cost, and can improve the material's anti-aging properties, they produce a large amount of toxic gases and harmful substances, which are detrimental to the environment and health.

[0004] PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a class of chemical substances in which hydrogen atoms in a carbon chain are completely or partially replaced by fluorine atoms. Due to their potential harm and impact on health and the environment, a series of control measures for PFAS compounds have been introduced around the world in recent years.

[0005] Materials used for energy-saving lamp shades must possess excellent light refraction, reflection, scattering, and transmission properties. This places stringent requirements on the materials themselves. Currently, the common method on the market is to add inorganic or metal oxide micropowders, microspheres, nanoparticles, etc. However, the addition of these materials can affect the flame retardancy and mechanical properties of PC. In addition, these materials themselves are opaque, which will result in a loss of some lighting performance.

[0006] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a halogen-free, fluorine-free, environmentally friendly flame-retardant PC composite material with light diffusion effect to solve the above problems. [Summary of the Invention]

[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is as follows: Common energy-saving LEDs are point light sources with high light intensity. If the lampshade material is ordinary glass or transparent resin, prolonged use can cause irreversible damage to the eyes. When using high-transmittance PC, its flame retardant performance is low. A common method to improve flame retardancy is to combine halogen-containing flame retardants with polytetrafluoroethylene-containing anti-drip agents. However, while this significantly improves flame retardancy, it produces large amounts of toxic gases and harmful substances, which are detrimental to the environment and health. Furthermore, the conventional method for using materials for energy-saving lampshades involves adding inorganic or metal oxide micropowders, microspheres, and nanoparticles. However, the addition of these materials affects the flame retardant and mechanical properties of PC, and these materials themselves are opaque, resulting in a loss of some lighting performance. Therefore, this invention provides a halogen-free, fluorine-free, environmentally friendly flame-retardant PC composite material with light diffusion effect to solve the above problems.
