Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a flame-retardant, waterproof, and UV-resistant finishing emulsion for textiles, belonging to the field of functional polyurethane emulsions for textiles. Background Technology
[0002] While moderate sun exposure is beneficial to health, excessive sun exposure can accelerate skin aging and pose certain health risks. Therefore, the UV resistance of textiles is becoming increasingly important. Most textiles possess a degree of flammability and combustibility, posing varying degrees of fire hazard, making flame-retardant treatment essential. With the continuous advancement of the textile industry, various textile products are emerging and widely used in daily life, industry, agriculture, transportation, and national defense. Textiles are developing towards multi-functional properties such as flame retardancy, waterproofing, moisture permeability, breathability, antibacterial properties, antistatic properties, and UV resistance. The research and development of multi-functional textile fabrics is receiving increasing attention. The functionality of textiles is generally achieved by applying finishing agents with specific functions during the finishing process. Typically, one finishing agent corresponds to one function. To achieve multiple functions in a textile, multiple finishing agents are required through multiple treatments. Therefore, developing finishing agents with multiple functions for textiles is highly necessary. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a flame-retardant, waterproof, and UV-resistant finishing emulsion for textiles. The prepared emulsion is used for functional finishing of textiles, enabling the fabric to have good flame-retardant, waterproof, and UV-resistant properties.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0005] The preparation method of flame-retardant, waterproof, and UV-resistant finishing emulsion for textiles includes the following specific steps:
[0006] 90 parts of isophorone diisocyanate were placed in a reactor, stirred and 300 parts of polyethylene glycol (PEG, molecular weight 1000) were added. The temperature was controlled at 75°C, and 2 parts of dibutyltin dilaurate were added dropwise. The reaction was carried out for 3 hours.
[0007] Add 7 parts of dimethylolpropionic acid and react for 2 hours;
[0008] Add 2 parts of 1,4-butanediol and allow the chain extension reaction to proceed for 2 hours.
[0009] Add 40 parts of dihydroxysiloxane and react for 1 hour;
[0010] Add 25 parts of P-PDMS monomer and 12 parts of Si-P-BP monomer, keep the temperature at 70℃, add 2 parts of water dropwise while stirring, and react for 4 hours; then first distill at 80℃ under normal pressure to distill off most of the solvent, then add an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, and slowly raise the temperature of the system to 130℃ under reduced pressure, and decompression synthesis reaction for 3 hours; then cool to room temperature, add 6 parts of triethylamine to the reactor, neutralize for 30 minutes, and obtain modified polyurethane prepolymer;
[0011] Add 2400 parts water and 30 parts composite emulsifier to an emulsifier and stir to dissolve. Then add modified polyurethane prepolymer and 300 parts silica sol. Stir vigorously with a high-shear emulsifier for 30 minutes to obtain a flame-retardant, waterproof and UV-resistant finishing emulsion for textiles.
[0012] The composite emulsifier is a compound of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and AEO-9.
[0013] The mass ratio of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to AEO-9 is 1:4.
[0014] The silica sol is made from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), phosphorus-containing siloxane, and water. First, 15 parts of tetraethyl orthosilicate, 10 parts of phosphorus-containing siloxane, and 20 parts of ethanol are added to 300 parts of distilled water, and the pH value is adjusted to 5 with hydrochloric acid. After keeping it at 30°C for 20 hours, it is cooled to obtain the silica sol.
[0015] Waterborne polyurethane possesses excellent weather resistance, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and mechanical properties, making it widely used in the textile industry. However, waterborne polyurethane films suffer from drawbacks such as poor water resistance and flammability. Polysiloxanes, on the other hand, offer advantages such as low surface tension, low-temperature flexibility, thermal stability, and water resistance. During emulsion film formation, the side chains of organosiloxanes migrate to the film surface, and modification with polysiloxanes can impart excellent water resistance to polyurethane. Furthermore, modifying the rough surface structure of silica nanoparticles with low-surface-energy organosilicon compounds achieves superior hydrophobic properties in the film.
[0016] Nano-SiO2 molecules have a three-dimensional network structure and are characterized by good chemical stability, low thermal conductivity, and good high-temperature performance. Adding nano-SiO2 to polyurethane can achieve a good flame retardant effect and has a good synergistic flame retardant effect with phosphorus compounds.
[0017] Nanoparticles possess a large surface area and high surface energy, ensuring better affinity and improving the durability of functional finishing on fabrics. Silica nanoparticles can reflect and scatter ultraviolet light, exhibiting UV shielding properties. Benzophenone-based UV absorbers enhance the UV resistance of nano-silica, thereby improving the UV protection performance of textiles.
[0018] The flame-retardant, waterproof, and UV-resistant finishing emulsion for textiles prepared by the method of this invention has good compatibility and coordination among its components, and can impart excellent flame-retardant, waterproof, and UV-resistant properties to textile fabrics.

The mixture was filtered, and the DMF in the filtrate was removed by rotary evaporation. The filtrate was dissolved in ethyl acetate and then washed three times each with dilute hydrochloric acid, 10% NaOH solution, and saturated NaCl solution.
