Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of fire retardants, and in particular to a nano-silicon glass inorganic fire retardant liquid and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, inorganic fire retardants for glass are mainly prepared through chemical synthesis and are widely used on glass surfaces in construction, transportation, and fire protection to improve the fire resistance of glass in high-temperature environments. Existing inorganic fire retardants are mostly based on silicate systems, such as using sodium silicate or potassium silicate as film-forming substances, combined with water and additives to form a transparent coating. When exposed to fire, this coating forms a dense silicate insulating layer, thus delaying glass breakage and flame spread. However, traditional silicate fire retardants often suffer from problems during preparation, including unstable modulus control, high impurity ion content, and poor product storage stability. This leads to issues in practical applications such as easy moisture absorption, whitening, crystallization, or significant degradation of fire resistance at high temperatures. With increasing industry demands for glass fire safety performance, there is an urgent need to develop a high-purity, highly stable nano-silica glass inorganic fire retardant with excellent fluidity and film-forming properties.
[0003] To address existing needs, current technologies attempt to optimize the performance of fire retardant liquids by introducing silica sol, adjusting the alkaline system, and adding additives. For example, using potassium hydroxide reacted with quartz sand to generate potassium silicate solution as the base film-forming material, and then compounding it with silica sol of different particle sizes, allows for adjustment of the product's molar ratio and solid content. Simultaneously, the introduction of additives such as glycerol improves the coating's flowability and crack resistance. The appropriate addition of defoamers also helps reduce bubble defects and improve coating quality. Nevertheless, existing preparation methods still face numerous technical bottlenecks in practical operation.
[0004] First, the synthesis conditions for potassium silicate solution are demanding, requiring a reaction temperature controlled at around 170℃ and precise pressure control, leading to significant batch-to-batch modulus fluctuations. An excessively high modulus can cause gelation, while a low modulus reduces fire-retardant performance. Second, improper addition of silica sol and temperature control, especially the initial addition of large-particle silica sol, can cause localized gelation or uneven reaction if the rate is too rapid or the temperature deviates from approximately 80℃, affecting the transparency and stability of the final product. Residue can also accelerate coating aging or generate harmful byproducts at high temperatures. These technical issues hinder the performance improvement and large-scale application of existing inorganic glass fire-retardant liquids. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In summary, optimizing the synthesis and subsequent compounding process of potassium silicate solution to obtain a nano-silica glass inorganic fire retardant liquid with suitable modulus, stable solid content, good fluidity, and no gelation during long-term storage, while ensuring high-purity raw materials and strictly controlling reaction conditions, has become a key technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0006] To address the above problems, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0007] The first aspect of this application provides a nano-silica glass inorganic fire retardant liquid, the raw material scheme of which, by weight, includes: 100-130 parts of deionized water, 45-60 parts of potassium hydroxide, 60-75 parts of quartz sand, 130-170 parts of silica sol, 0.6-1.2 parts of defoamer, 6-10 parts of glycerol, 1-2 parts of wetting and dispersing agent, 0.1-0.3 parts of preservative, 3-5 parts of antifreeze, and 9-15 parts of combined functional agent.

[0015] More preferably, the high-purity quartz sand has an average mesh size of 400-600 mesh.
[0016] Preferably, the solid content of the silica sol is 30-40%.
[0017] Preferably, the silica sol is a combination of large-particle-size silica sol and small-particle-size silica sol.
[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of the large-particle-size silica sol to the small-particle-size silica sol is (8.5~10.5):(4.5~6).
[0019] More preferably, the mass ratio of the large-particle-size silica sol to the small-particle-size silica sol is (9~10):(5~5.5).
[0020] Preferably, the average particle size of the large-particle-size silica sol is 50~100nm.
[0021] More preferably, the average particle size of the large-particle-size silica sol is 50~70nm.
[0022] Preferably, the average particle size of the small-particle-size silica sol is 10~30nm.
[0023] More preferably, the average particle size of the small-particle-size silica sol is 10~20nm.

[0025] More preferably, the defoamer is FoamStar SI 2210 or FoamStar ED 2528.

[0027] The combination of large-particle-size silica sol and small-particle-size silica sol with defoamer in this application optimizes particle packing through the synergistic effect of particle size gradient, forming a dense silica-oxygen network and improving fire resistance and stability. The stepwise addition of defoamer, in conjunction with the gradient addition of silica sol, effectively suppresses microbubbles generated by the mixing of high-solids materials, avoids structural defects caused by residual bubbles, ensures product flowability and long-term storage stability, and prevents gelation.
[0028] Preferably, the mass ratio of potassium hydroxide, glycerol and the combined functional agent is (48~55):(8~10):(11~14).
[0029] More preferably, the mass ratio of potassium hydroxide, glycerol and the combined functional agent is (50~53):(8~9):(12~13).

[0039] More preferably, the mass ratio of boric acid, aluminum dihydrogen phosphate and calcium formate is (3~4):(5~6):(2.3~2.6).
[0040] In existing technologies, fire retardant liquids rely solely on the potassium silicate-silica sol system, which lacks sufficient water resistance and high-temperature strength. However, the functional composition of boric acid, aluminum dihydrogen phosphate, and calcium formate added in this application forms a boron-phosphorus-silica hybrid structure with the silicon-oxygen network at high temperatures, significantly reducing the moisture absorption of the coating. Furthermore, the high-temperature products of calcium formate react with the silica sol to form a gel, filling micropores and improving adhesion strength. The combined effect of these three components significantly enhances the fire resistance limit of the fire retardant liquid while maintaining superior storage stability.
[0041] The second aspect of this application provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned nano-silicon glass inorganic fire retardant liquid, specifically including the following steps:
[0042] S1: Add deionized water, potassium hydroxide and quartz sand to the reactor according to the ratio, start stirring to gradually raise the temperature to 80°C, keep it at the temperature and continue to raise the temperature to 170~175°C while introducing nitrogen into the reactor to stabilize the pressure, and filter the reaction liquid to obtain potassium silicate solution.
[0043] S2: Transfer the potassium silicate solution to a mixing vessel equipped with heating and stirring. Heat and maintain the temperature of the solution in the vessel at 78~82℃. Add large-particle silica sol at a rate of 8~10 parts / min while stirring, and add some defoamer at the same time. After the addition is complete, continue stirring. Then add small-particle silica sol and the remaining defoamer at the same rate. After that, add glycerol and wetting and dispersing agent and stir evenly.
[0044] S3: Add the combined functional agent, preservative and antifreeze in sequence, stirring until completely mixed after each addition. Then let it cool naturally and stand to defoam. The finished product is ready.
[0045] Preferably, the preparation method of the nano-silica glass inorganic fire retardant liquid specifically includes the following steps:
[0046] S1: Add deionized water, potassium hydroxide and quartz sand to a stainless steel reactor according to the specified ratio, start stirring at 250~350 rpm, heat to 80℃ at a rate of 1.5~2℃ / min, hold for 30~35 min, then continue heating to 170~175℃ while introducing nitrogen into the reactor to stabilize the pressure at 0.5MPa, and react at constant temperature and pressure for 6~8 h. After the reaction is completed, allow it to cool naturally to below 60℃, and send the reaction solution to a plate and frame filter press for filtration to obtain potassium silicate solution.
[0047] S2: Transfer the potassium silicate solution to a mixing vessel equipped with heating and stirring. Heat and maintain the temperature of the solution in the vessel at 78~82℃. Add large-particle silica sol at a rate of 8~10 parts / min under stirring at 150~200 rpm, and simultaneously add 60~70wt% of defoamer. After the addition is complete, continue stirring for 20~30 min. Then add small-particle silica sol and the remaining defoamer at the same rate, and continue stirring for 15~20 min. After that, add glycerol and wetting and dispersing agent and stir for 10~15 min until homogeneous.
[0048] S3: Control the temperature at 50~55℃ and add the combined functional agent, preservative and antifreeze in sequence. After each addition, stir at 100~150rpm for 15~20min until completely mixed. Then let it cool naturally and stand for 30~40min to defoam. The result is then ready.
[0049] Preferably, the modulus of the potassium silicate solution is 3.5 to 4.
[0050] More preferably, the modulus of the potassium silicate solution is 3.6 to 3.8.
[0051] In the above preparation method, compared with the traditional method of directly heating to 170℃ for reaction, which is prone to local overheating and modulus fluctuation, this application adds an 80℃ heat preservation pre-reaction step before heating to 170℃, so that potassium hydroxide and quartz sand first form low modulus potassium silicate and fix the modulus selection scheme, and then further polymerize by heating and pressurizing, which greatly improves the batch stability of the modulus of the final potassium silicate liquid, solves the technical problems of easy gelation when the modulus is too high and poor performance when the modulus is too low, and provides a foundation for improving the comprehensive performance of fire retardant liquid.
[0052] The beneficial effects and application advantages of this application are as follows:
[0053] 1. The nano-silica glass inorganic fire retardant liquid prepared in this application solves the technical problems of large batch-to-batch modulus fluctuations, which easily cause gelation and reduce fire retardant performance. It has a suitable modulus, stable solid content, good fluidity, high fire retardant efficiency, and excellent stability without gelation during long-term storage. It solves the technical problems in the field and provides a new idea to improve the comprehensive performance of fire retardant liquid.
[0054] 2. The functional composition of boric acid, aluminum dihydrogen phosphate and calcium formate added in this application forms a boron-phosphorus-silicon hybrid structure with the silicon-oxygen network at high temperature, which significantly reduces the moisture absorption of the coating. In addition, the high-temperature product of calcium formate reacts with silica sol to generate a gel material, which fills the micropores and improves the bonding strength. The combined effect of the three significantly improves the fire resistance limit of the fire retardant liquid while maintaining better storage stability.
[0055] 3. This application adds an 80°C heat preservation pre-reaction step before heating to 170°C, so that potassium hydroxide and quartz sand first form low-modulus potassium silicate and fix the selection scheme of modulus. Then, the temperature is raised and pressure is increased for further polymerization, which greatly improves the batch stability of the final potassium silicate liquid modulus and solves the technical problems of easy gelation when the modulus is too high and poor performance when the modulus is too low, thus providing a basis for improving the comprehensive performance of fire retardant liquid.

A method for preparing the nano-silicon glass inorganic fire retardant liquid according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: Specifically, the following steps are included: S1: Add deionized water, potassium hydroxide and quartz sand to the reactor according to the ratio, start stirring to gradually raise the temperature to 80°C, keep it at the temperature and continue to raise the temperature to 170~175°C while introducing nitrogen into the reactor to stabilize the pressure, and filter the reaction liquid to obtain potassium silicate solution. S2: Transfer the potassium silicate solution to a mixing vessel equipped with heating and stirring. Heat and maintain the temperature of the solution in the vessel at 78~82℃. Add large-particle silica sol at a rate of 8~10 parts / min while stirring, and add some defoamer at the same time. After the addition is complete, continue stirring. Then add small-particle silica sol and the remaining defoamer at the same rate. After that, add glycerol and wetting and dispersing agent and stir evenly. S3: Add the combined functional agent, preservative and antifreeze in sequence, stirring until completely mixed after each addition. Then let it cool naturally and stand to defoam. The finished product is ready.
