Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional filler technology, specifically relating to a flame-retardant functional filler and its preparation method, and flame-retardant composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] Mineral-derived magnesium hydroxide, as an environmentally friendly inorganic flame retardant, possesses advantages such as halogen-free, low-smoke, non-toxic, and smoke-suppressing properties, making it widely used in the field of flame retardant polymer materials. However, mineral-derived magnesium hydroxide itself has characteristics such as high specific surface area and strong surface polarity. When directly added to polymer substrates, it is prone to agglomeration, resulting in poor dispersibility. This not only affects the flame retardant efficiency but also severely damages the mechanical properties of the substrate (such as reduced tensile strength and elongation at break). At the same time, existing mineral-derived magnesium hydroxide filler masterbatches generally suffer from poor color (such as bluish or reddish hues), resulting in insufficient compatibility with polymer substrates and limiting its application in products with high requirements for appearance and performance (such as wire and cable sheathing materials).

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies often employ single coupling agent modification or simple compounding of flame retardants, but the effects are limited, failing to achieve synergistic optimization of flame retardant performance, mechanical properties, and color. For example, while using silane coupling agents to modify mineral-derived magnesium hydroxide can improve dispersibility, its effect on improving mechanical properties is not significant; combining it with aluminum hydroxide as a synergist offers limited improvement in flame retardant efficiency and cannot resolve color defects. Therefore, developing a composite flame-retardant functional filler masterbatch for mineral-derived magnesium hydroxide that combines excellent flame retardant performance, good mechanical compatibility, and optimized color has become an urgent need in the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flame-retardant functional filler, its preparation method, and a flame-retardant composite material. The flame-retardant functional filler provided by this invention can improve the dispersion uniformity in a polymer matrix, prevent agglomeration, and achieve a synergistic improvement in flame-retardant performance and mechanical properties.

[0010] Preferably, the hue modifier includes nano-titanium dioxide and fluorescent whitening agent OB-1; The mass ratio of the nano-titanium dioxide to the fluorescent whitening agent OB-1 is 5~8:1.

[0011] Preferably, the antioxidant includes antioxidant 1010 and antioxidant 168; the mass ratio of antioxidant 1010 to antioxidant 168 is 1:1.

[0012] This invention also provides a method for preparing the flame-retardant functional filler described in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps: Magnesium hydroxide obtained from mining is mixed with a coupling agent and then modified to obtain modified magnesium hydroxide obtained from mining. The modified mineral-derived magnesium hydroxide and the remaining components are mixed and then extruded to obtain the flame-retardant functional filler.

[0013] Preferably, the modification treatment is carried out under stirring conditions, wherein the stirring temperature is 80~100℃, the stirring time is 15~30min, and the stirring speed is 800~1200rpm; The modified mineral magnesium hydroxide and the remaining components are mixed under stirring conditions, wherein the stirring temperature is 60~80℃, the stirring speed is 600~1000rpm, and the stirring time is 10~20min; The extrusion is carried out in a twin-screw extruder, which includes four temperature zones: the temperature of the first temperature zone is 140~150℃, the temperature of the second temperature zone is 150~160℃, the temperature of the third temperature zone is 160~170℃, and the temperature of the fourth temperature zone is 170~180℃. The screw speed of the twin-screw extruder is 200~300 rpm.

[0014] The present invention also provides a flame-retardant composite material, comprising a polymer matrix and additives; The additive is the flame-retardant functional filler described in the above technical solution or the flame-retardant functional filler prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution; The polymer matrix material includes at least one of polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, and polyurethane; the polyolefin includes polyethylene and / or polypropylene; The additive has a mass percentage content of 20-50% in the flame-retardant composite material.

The oxygen index of the polyethylene composite material with the filler of this invention can be increased to more than 32%, reaching the UL94V-0 flame retardant standard, and the smoke release is low. (2) Synergistic improvement of mechanical properties: Through the synergistic effect of SEBS-POE composite toughening agent and coupling agent, the problem of the decline in mechanical properties of the substrate caused by the traditional mineral method magnesium hydroxide filling is solved.

(3) Significant color optimization: By combining nano titanium dioxide with fluorescent whitening agent, the color of the filler is close to pure white, avoiding the blue and red defects of traditional mineral magnesium hydroxide masterbatch, and meeting the application requirements of products such as wires and cables that have high requirements for appearance.

The filler is evenly dispersed in the substrate and the preparation process is simple. It can be industrialized using conventional twin-screw extrusion equipment, with low production cost and wide applicability. Attached Figure Description
