Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of permeable concrete technology, and in particular to a colored permeable concrete using polyurethane as a binder and protective agent, and its preparation and application. Background Technology

[0002] Colored permeable concrete, as a core paving material in sponge city construction, is widely used in urban roads, squares, and landscaped gardens due to its excellent permeability, decorative properties, and ecological characteristics. However, existing colored permeable concrete generally suffers from the following technical defects during long-term outdoor use, severely limiting its application scope and service life: 1. Insufficient bonding performance: Traditional permeable concrete often uses cement as a single binder. The bond strength between cement and aggregate is low, resulting in poor overall mechanical properties of the concrete. It is prone to problems such as aggregate detachment and surface sanding, and cannot meet the requirements of high-load outdoor use. 2. Weak aging resistance: Permeable concrete has a high porosity (usually 15%-25%), and its internal structure is easily eroded by natural environmental factors such as sunlight, oxygen, and rainwater, resulting in surface peeling, cracking, accelerated aging, and shortened service life. 3. Poor color stability: Most of the protective agents used in existing permeable concrete are ordinary organic coatings, which have poor weather resistance. When exposed to the outdoors for a long time, the color is prone to fading and lightening, affecting the decorative effect. In addition, the protective agent has insufficient bonding with the concrete base block and is easy to fall off. 4. Poor performance balance: In existing technologies, improving permeability will sacrifice mechanical properties such as compressive strength and adhesion, while strengthening mechanical properties will reduce the permeability coefficient. It is difficult to achieve synergistic optimization of permeability and mechanical properties. At the same time, the fluidity and construction adaptability of cement paste are not good, which increases the construction difficulty.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, those skilled in the art have attempted to improve performance by optimizing the formulation of binders or protective agents. However, existing solutions often employ a "separate binder and protective agent" design, where the binder is responsible for bonding the aggregates, while the protective agent is only used for surface protection. The two have no synergistic effect and cannot fundamentally solve the aforementioned multiple defects. For example, some solutions use epoxy resin as a binder, which can improve bond strength, but it has poor weather resistance and is prone to yellowing. Other solutions use acrylic protective agents, which can temporarily improve surface finish, but their adhesion to the concrete substrate is weak, leading to peeling and flaking, and they cannot simultaneously achieve both mechanical and permeability properties.

[0004] Therefore, developing a colored permeable concrete that can simultaneously solve technical problems such as insufficient bonding strength, poor aging resistance, unstable color, and uneven performance, achieving integrated bonding and protection, and being environmentally friendly and easy to construct, has become an urgent technical challenge in this field and is also the core research and development goal of this invention.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a polyurethane-bonded and protected integrated colored permeable concrete, its preparation, and its application. This invention, through innovative formula design and preparation process, achieves integrated bonding and protection, simultaneously improving the concrete's bond strength, mechanical properties, permeability, weather resistance, and color stability. This addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies and meets the long-term usage requirements of outdoor paving in sponge cities.

[0006] A polyurethane-bonded and protected integrated colored permeable concrete, wherein the permeable concrete, by weight, comprises 1000-2000 parts of aggregate, 300-500 parts of cement, 50-150 parts of water, 10-15 parts of admixture, and 15-25 parts of polyurethane binder; and the surface of the permeable concrete is sprayed with a polyurethane colored protective agent.

[0007] Preferably, the aforementioned polyurethane-bonded and protected integrated colored permeable concrete comprises, by weight, 1500 parts aggregate, 400 parts cement, 100 parts water, 13.5 parts admixture, and 20 parts polyurethane binder.

[0008] Preferably, in the aforementioned polyurethane-bonded and protected integrated colored permeable concrete, the aggregate is crushed stone with a particle size of 5mm-8mm, and the cement is P.O42.5 ordinary Portland cement.

[0009] Preferably, in the aforementioned polyurethane-bonded and protected integrated colored permeable concrete, the polyurethane binder, by weight, comprises 30-50 parts water-reducing agent, 800-1000 parts silica powder, 80-120 parts calcium powder, 1-10 parts cellulose, 30-70 parts adhesive powder, and 10-30 parts polyurethane.

[0010] Preferably, in the aforementioned polyurethane-bonded and protected integrated colored permeable concrete, the polyurethane is one of polyester polyol polyurethane, polyether polyol polyurethane, aliphatic polyurethane, or aromatic polyurethane.

[0011] Preferably, in the aforementioned polyurethane-bonded and protected integrated colored permeable concrete, the polyurethane color protective agent, by weight, comprises 80-120 parts of polyester polyol polyurethane, 30-50 parts of diluent, 3-5 parts of brightening agent, 0.3-0.8 parts of retarder, and 2-6 parts of colored pigment.

[0012] A method for preparing the aforementioned colored permeable concrete includes the following steps: S1. Take water-reducing agent, silica powder, calcium powder, cellulose, adhesive powder and polyurethane, mix them evenly in proportion to obtain polyurethane binder; S2. Take aggregates, cement, water and admixtures, mix them in proportion to obtain basic mixture; S3. Add the polyurethane binder to the base mixture in proportion, stir evenly, and obtain the permeable concrete mixture; S4. Pour the permeable concrete mixture into shape, cure it according to standard, and obtain concrete blocks; S5. Take polyester polyol polyurethane, diluent, brightening agent, retarder and colored pigment, stir evenly to obtain polyurethane color protectant; S6. Apply polyurethane color protective agent to the surface of the concrete base block and allow it to cure naturally to obtain the finished colored permeable concrete.

[0013] Preferably, in the aforementioned method for preparing colored permeable concrete, the standard curing environment described in S4 has a humidity of ≥90% and a temperature controlled at 20±2℃.

[0014] Preferably, in the aforementioned method for preparing colored permeable concrete, the spraying thickness of the polyurethane colored protective agent in S6 is 0.2-0.3 mm, and the natural curing time is ≥24 h.

[0015] An application of the aforementioned colored permeable concrete in permeable pavement for sponge cities. Using the colored permeable concrete in permeable roads, plazas, landscape paving, parking lots, and other scenarios within sponge cities allows for rapid rainwater infiltration and groundwater replenishment. It also possesses excellent decorative properties and durability, making it suitable for long-term outdoor exposure scenarios and solving the problems of easy aging, fading, and poor mechanical properties of existing permeable pavement materials.

[0016] 1. This invention uses polyurethane as the core component of both the binder and the protective agent. The polyurethane in the binder and the polyester polyol polyurethane in the protective agent have good compatibility. The protective agent can penetrate into the pores on the surface of the concrete block and form an overall protective system with the internal binder. This solves the problem of insufficient bonding strength of traditional binders and the defects of traditional protective agents that are not tightly bonded to concrete and are easy to fall off, achieving the dual effect of "strong internal bonding and excellent surface protection". 2. This invention optimizes the formulation of polyurethane binder by compounding water-reducing agents, silica fume, cellulose, and other components, and by selecting aggregates of specific particle sizes. This achieves synergistic optimization of cement paste fluidity, bond strength, compressive strength, and permeability coefficient. The cement paste fluidity reaches 190mm, meeting construction requirements; the bond strength reaches 31MPa, significantly higher than the strength of ≤25MPa typically found in existing technologies; and the permeability coefficient reaches 5.9mm / s. While ensuring mechanical properties, the permeability is superior to similar commercially available products, solving the technical problem of "difficulty in balancing permeability and mechanical properties" in existing technologies. 3. This invention selects polyester polyol polyurethane as the core component of the protective agent, combined with colored pigments and a specific component ratio, so that the concrete surface does not peel and the color remains unchanged after 120 days of open-air aging. The weather resistance and color stability are significantly better than the existing technology that usually peels and fades after 60 days. At the same time, the polyurethane in the binder further improves the uniformity and stability of the color, avoiding the problems of uneven color and easy fading of traditional permeable concrete. 4. This invention adopts a room temperature curing process, which eliminates the need for high-temperature curing, making construction convenient and reducing construction costs; all raw materials used are environmentally friendly, with no release of toxic or harmful substances, meeting the environmental protection requirements for sponge city construction; at the same time, the formula is rationally designed and the raw material dosage is precise, avoiding raw material waste and improving the cost-effectiveness of the materials.
