Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and more specifically to reinforced rigid polyurethane foam material and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Rigid polyurethane foam plastic, also simply called rigid polyurethane foam, is the second most widely used polyurethane product after flexible polyurethane foam. Rigid polyurethane foam material has an almost closed-cell structure and possesses excellent properties such as good thermal insulation, light weight, high specific strength, and ease of handling. It also has properties such as sound insulation, shock absorption, electrical insulation, heat resistance, cold resistance, and solvent resistance. It is widely used as insulation for refrigerator and freezer boxes, refrigerated warehouses and refrigerated trucks, buildings, storage tanks and pipelines, and, in smaller quantities, for applications other than insulation, such as imitation wood and packaging materials. Generally, low-density rigid polyurethane foam is mainly used as thermal insulation, while high-density rigid polyurethane foam is used as structural material (imitation wood).

[0003] While conventional rigid polyurethane foam materials all have excellent heat retention properties, they suffer from severe shrinkage and cracking in extremely cold environments, resulting in a loss of mechanical strength and heat retention. To solve this problem, rigid polyurethane foam is typically compounded with glass fiber continuous felt to improve its mechanical properties and dimensional stability at low temperatures, and the flame retardancy level of the polyurethane is improved by adding a predetermined flame retardant. For example, in patent 2007101441393 (publication number CN101235128A), a density of 400-800 kg / m³ reinforced with continuous fibers is described. 3 Although a polyurethane foam material is disclosed, this material is suitable for "load-bearing structural materials" and cannot be used for heat retention in cryogenic environments. Patent 200610058849X (Publication No. CN1834130A) describes a material with a density of 115-135 kg / m³. 3The patent application discloses a thermal insulation material with a compressive strength of 1.4 to 1.7 MPa. However, this application does not provide detailed thermal conductivity information regarding the thermal insulation properties of the material, nor does it provide information on the material's mechanical properties at low temperatures.

[0004] Traditionally, continuous fiberglass felt, used to increase the strength of polyurethane foam materials, typically comes in rolls of 100-150 meters in length. Mass production can only be carried out intermittently, resulting in significant scrap at the beginning and end of each batch, reducing production efficiency and causing serious environmental pollution.

[0005] Therefore, the urgent challenge for those skilled in the art is how to provide an environmentally friendly, reinforced rigid polyurethane foam material that can be produced in continuous production. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] In view of the foregoing, the present invention provides a reinforced rigid polyurethane foam material and a method for producing the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solutions.

[0008] The reinforced rigid polyurethane foam material contains 5 to 10 parts by weight of glass fiber yarn, 40 to 60 parts by weight of aromatic polyether polyol, 30 to 50 parts by weight of aromatic polyester polyol, 30 to 50 parts by weight of toluene diisocyanate, 40 to 60 parts by weight of polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate, 5 to 10 parts by weight of flame retardant, 5 to 15 parts by weight of blowing agent, 1 to 5 parts by weight of catalyst, and 1 to 5 parts by weight of surfactant.

[0009] Preferably, the raw materials include 6 parts by weight of glass fiber yarn, 50 parts by weight of aromatic polyether polyol, 40 parts by weight of aromatic polyester polyol, 50 parts by weight of toluene diisocyanate, 60 parts by weight of polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate, 5 parts by weight of flame retardant, 9 parts by weight of blowing agent, 2 parts by weight of catalyst, and 2 parts by weight of surfactant.

[0010] Furthermore, the glass fiber yarn has a single fiber diameter of 5 to 15 μm, preferably 5 to 10 μm, more preferably 9 μm, a yarn density of 10 to 30 tex, preferably 10 to 15 tex, more preferably 15 tex, a water content of less than 0.1%, and a flammable content of 0.5% to 1.5%.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are as follows: In this invention, by using glass fiber yarn instead of the glass fiber continuous felt commonly used in conventional processes, the glass fiber yarn has a larger specific surface area, which increases the effective bonding area between the glass fibers and the resin, thereby further increasing the tensile strength of the material. Furthermore, while glass fiber felt is a roll material with a limited length and can only be produced intermittently, glass fiber yarn can be continuously produced because it can be spliced ​​indefinitely. This not only improves production efficiency but also effectively reduces cutting losses at the beginning and end of batches, resulting in a more environmentally friendly product.

[0012] Furthermore, the aromatic polyether polyol has a molecular weight of 400 to 600, preferably 500 to 600, more preferably 550; a hydroxyl value of 400 to 600 mgKOH / g, preferably 450 to 550 mgKOH / g, more preferably 480 mgKOH / g; a viscosity of 5000 to 9000 mPa·S, preferably 5000 to 7000 mPa·S, more preferably 6000 mPa·S; and a water content of less than 0.15%.

[0013] Furthermore, the aromatic polyether polyol is at least one of toluenediamine polyether, bisphenol A polyether, and aniline formaldehyde polyether.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are as follows: The aromatic polyether polyol of the present invention can introduce an aromatic ring structure into the rigid polyurethane foam skeleton, thereby improving the dimensional stability, heat resistance, and flame retardancy of the rigid polyurethane foam material.

[0015] Furthermore, the aromatic polyester polyol has a molecular weight of 400 to 600, preferably 450 to 550, more preferably 520; a hydroxyl value of 300 to 500 mgKOH / g, preferably 400 to 480, more preferably 430; a viscosity of 4000 to 6000 mPa·S, preferably 4500 to 5500 mPa·S, more preferably 4800 mPa·S; and a water content of less than 0.10%.

[0016] Furthermore, the aromatic polyester polyol is at least one of phthalic anhydride polyester polyol, trimellitic anhydride polyester polyol, and aromatic-aliphatic copolyester.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are as follows: The aromatic polyester polyol of the present invention has improved compatibility with the polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate component, which can increase the fineness of the rigid polyurethane foam material, thereby improving its heat retention properties. Furthermore, by introducing more aromatic ring structures into the rigid polyurethane foam skeleton, the dimensional stability, heat resistance, and flame retardancy of the rigid polyurethane foam material can also be improved.

[0018] Furthermore, the polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate has an isocyanate content of 25 to 35 wt%, preferably 25 to 30 wt%, more preferably 29 wt%, a viscosity of 100 to 300 mPa·S, preferably 150 to 250 mPa·S, more preferably 200 mPa·S, and a functionality of 2.5 to 3.5, preferably 2.0 to 2.5, more preferably 2.4.

[0019] Furthermore, the flame retardant has a phosphorus content of 5 to 15%, preferably 5 to 10%, more preferably 9%, a viscosity of 50 to 200 mPa·S, preferably 50 to 90 mPa·S, more preferably 60 mPa·S, and a water content of less than 0.10%.

[0020] In addition, the flame retardant is any one or a mixture of two of tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate, tris(2-chloropropyl phosphate), and tris(dichloropropyl) phosphate. <​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[0025] Furthermore, the catalyst is a mixture of a small molecule amine-based catalyst and an organotin-based catalyst, and further, the small molecule amine-based catalyst is any one or a mixture of two of triethylenediamine, tetramethylhexanediamine, and triethylamine, and the organotin-based catalyst is any one or a mixture of two of stannous octoate and dibutyltin diacetate.

[0026] Furthermore, the surfactant is a polysiloxane-based polymer having a viscosity of 200 to 600 mPa·S and a water content of less than 0.05%.

[0027] Also, further, the surfactant is any one or a mixture of two of a polysiloxane-ethylene oxide AB-type linear block polymer and a polysiloxane-propylene oxide ABA-type linear block polymer.

[0028] The beneficial effects obtained by adopting the above further technical solutions are as follows. The flame retardant, foaming agent, catalyst, and surfactant of the present invention can effectively improve the flame retardancy, heat insulation properties, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability of the rigid polyurethane foam material.

[0029] The present invention randomly laminates glass fiber yarns on a conveyor belt by a throwing mechanism to form a glass fiber yarn random web, and then step (1) of weighing each raw material in the above parts by weight, step (2) of mixing aromatic polyether polyol, aromatic polyester polyol, toluene diisocyanate, polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate, flame retardant, foaming agent, catalyst, and surfactant to obtain a mixture, pouring the mixture onto a random web structure formed by randomly laminating flatly spread glass fiber yarns, and then foaming by a foaming machine to obtain a semi-finished product, step (3), The present invention further provides a method for producing the above-described reinforced rigid polyurethane foam material, which includes the step (4) of allowing a semi-finished product to naturally harden, cutting it into multiple parts, and hardening it again to obtain a reinforced rigid polyurethane foam material.

[0030] Furthermore, in step (1), the thread throwing mechanism has a width of 0.8 to 2.4 m, preferably 1.2 to 2.0 m, a travel speed of 1 to 2 m / s, preferably 1.4 to 1.8 m / s, the glass fiber random web has a thickness of 40 to 180 mm, preferably 80 to 120 mm, and the glass fiber random web has a density of 0.5 to 5 kg / m³. 2 Preferably 2-3 kg / m 2 That was the case.

[0031] Furthermore, in step (2), a high-pressure mixing head is used for mixing, with a mixing pressure of 40-100 bar, preferably 80 bar, a mixing temperature of 20-30°C, preferably 23°C, and a discharge rate of 50-100 kg / min, preferably 70 kg / min.

[0032] The advantageous effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are as follows: The high-pressure mixing head of the present invention, due to its high mixing pressure, improves the mixing effect of the hydroxyl component and the isocyanate component, making the foam of the rigid polyurethane foam material finer and improving its heat retention properties.

[0033] Furthermore, in step (3), the glass fiber continuous felt is separated from the chain plate using kraft paper, and the apparent density of the kraft paper is 80-150 g / m². 2 That is the case.

[0034] Furthermore, in step (3), the discharge rate of the mixture is 30-120 kg / min, preferably 50-70 kg / min, the discharge temperature is 15-35°C, preferably 20-30°C, and the chain plate temperature is 15-35°C, preferably 20-30°C.

[0035] Furthermore, in step (4), the natural hardening time is 40-80 minutes, and the re-hardening time is 72 hours.

[0036] Furthermore, steps (2) to (4) are carried out in a constant temperature and humidity environment with a temperature of 10 to 40°C and a humidity of 70% or less.

[0037] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are as follows: The polyurethane foam foaming process of the present invention is carried out in a controlled temperature and humidity environment, the material is uniformly dispersed, the foaming process rate is uniform, and the density distribution of the polyurethane foam is more uniform. [Effects of the Invention]

[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this invention, glass fiber yarn is used instead of continuous glass fiber felt in conventional processes. Because glass fiber yarn has a larger specific surface area, it increases the effective bonding area between glass fibers and resin, and can increase the tensile strength of the material by more than 20%. Glass fiber felt is a roll material with a limited length and can only be produced intermittently, but glass fiber yarn can be spliced ​​indefinitely, making continuous production possible. This not only improves production efficiency but also effectively reduces cutting losses at the beginning and end of batches, resulting in a more environmentally friendly product. Furthermore, it can improve the utilization rate of glass fibers by more than 5% while ensuring the mechanical strength and heat retention properties of the material at low temperatures, making it widely applicable in extremely low heat retention fields.
