Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a urethane resin composition used as a heat insulating material for buildings. [Background technology]

[0002] In reinforced concrete and steel-framed houses, sprayed rigid polyurethane foam insulation is often used to prevent condensation, provide insulation, and save energy. In recent years, there have been rare cases of fires caused by insulation igniting due to improper construction management, etc. In addition, even in the case of general fires, the fire may spread to insulation, causing the fire to spread. In order to prevent such urethane foam from burning, a fire-resistant coating (such as a cement-based inorganic spray material) is sometimes applied, but this has problems such as the time it takes to apply and the fact that the coating does not adhere well to the urethane foam after application, causing it to fall off.

[0003] As a result, the urethane resin compositions disclosed in the following Patent Documents 1 and 2 are known as urethane resin compositions to which flame retardancy has been imparted. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6200435 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6725606 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the heat generation test conforming to ISO-5660 for evaluating the flame retardancy of a urethane resin composition, a testing device called a cone calorimeter is used. The cone calorimeter comprises a cone heater placed above a test specimen cut to a predetermined size, and a spark rod provided between the test specimen and the cone heater. In the heat generation test in accordance with ISO-5660, combustible gas is generated from the test specimen by heating it with a cone heater, and the combustible gas is ignited by a spark from a spark rod, causing combustion. The total heat generated by the combustion is measured using a specified measurement method, and the flame retardancy is evaluated in light of the performance requirements shown in Table 1 below. These performance requirements have been established by the General Building Research Corporation of Japan and the Japan Testing Center for Construction Materials as standards for conforming to the technical standards set out in Article 2, Paragraph 9 of the Building Standards Act, Article 1, Paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Enforcement Order of the Building Standards Act, and Article 108-2 of the Enforcement Order of the Building Standards Act.

[0006] [Table 1] JPEG0007823151000001.jpg38153

[0007] During the heat generation tests, some test specimens swelled when heated by the cone heater, and in some cases the swollen area of ​​the test specimen came into contact with the spark plug, or discharge was confirmed even without the expanded test specimen coming into contact with the plug (these phenomena are hereinafter referred to as "spark contact"). Test specimens in which spark contact has occurred will not produce valid results when conforming to ISO-5660, so it is necessary to check for spark contact each time.

[0008] Furthermore, when the urethane resin composition is used as a heat insulating material, the expansion caused by heating can apply pressure to interior materials (such as gypsum boards) placed around the heat insulating material, causing damage. If the interior materials are damaged, heat from a fire will be more easily transferred to the insulation, increasing the possibility that the heat will have a thermal impact on the exterior materials.

[0009] Therefore, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a urethane resin composition that is less likely to blister when heated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a urethane resin composition for forming a foam that constitutes a thermal insulation material for buildings, which contains at least a polyisocyanate compound, a polyol compound, a trimerization catalyst, a blowing agent, and a flame retardant, but does not contain a foam stabilizer or a surface conditioner. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, a urethane resin composition that is less likely to swell when heated can be obtained. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a urethane resin composition can be obtained that does not cause spark contact even in a heat buildup test in accordance with ISO-5660. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a urethane resin composition can be obtained that, when used as a heat insulating material for buildings, prevents the heat insulating material from expanding beyond the clearance between the heat insulating material and the interior material, and does not push up and damage the interior material. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of raw materials required to form the urethane resin composition can be reduced, thereby contributing to cost reduction. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] <1> Overall structure The urethane resin composition according to the present invention is used to form a foam that constitutes a thermal insulating material for buildings, and contains at least a polyisocyanate compound, a polyol compound, a trimerization catalyst, a blowing agent, and a flame retardant, but does not contain a foam stabilizer or a surface conditioner. The urethane resin composition according to the present invention may also be configured to further contain a material derived from a mineral such as a clay mineral. The above composition can be separated into a polyisocyanate compound (first liquid) and other components (second liquid), and an insulating layer can be formed on a building by a method of mixing the two while spraying them, or by a method of mixing the two and spraying them.

[0013] <2> Various performance features The urethane resin composition according to the present invention can be provided with the following properties by adjusting the blending ratio of each material.

[0014] <2.1> Non-flammable performance The urethane resin composition according to the present invention can be provided with non-flammability as determined by a heat buildup test in accordance with ISO-5660.

[0015] <2.1.1> About ISO-5660 testing In the heat generation test conforming to ISO-5660, a test device called a cone calorimeter is used. The cone calorimeter is equipped with a cone heater placed above a test specimen cut to a specified size, and a spark rod placed between the test specimen and the cone heater. Combustible gas is generated from the test specimen when heated by the cone heater, and the combustible gas is ignited by a spark from the spark rod, causing combustion. The total heat generated by the combustion is measured using a specified measurement method, and the flame retardancy is evaluated in light of the performance requirements shown in Table 2 below.

[0016] [Table 2] JPEG0007823151000002.jpg38153

[0017] <2.2> Swelling during heating (maximum expansion length) The urethane resin composition according to the present invention can achieve a swelling amount that does not cause spark contact when the ISO-5660 test is carried out. The guideline for preventing spark contact is that the maximum expansion length in the height direction of the test specimen is less than 8 mm, more preferably 2 mm or less. The above configuration prevents spark contact and allows for obtaining valid results for ISO-5660 testing.

[0018] <2.2.1> Measurement method for swelling amount The method for measuring the swelling amount in the height direction of the test specimen is as follows. (1) Before the heat generation test, mark the height position of the top surface of the test specimen on the windshield frame attached to the front of the cone calorimeter. (2) After the heat generation test, visually measure the height from the marking on the windshield frame to the highest point on the top surface of the expanded test specimen.

[0019] <2.3> Density The urethane resin composition according to the present invention can provide a foam having a density of 30 kg / m 3 or more. By making the density of the foam 30 kg / m3 or more, it is possible to obtain a sufficient effect of suppressing deformation when subjected to external impacts when used as a heat insulating material for buildings.

[0020] <3> Polyisocyanate Compounds The polyisocyanate compound is a material used as a main component in the urethane resin composition according to the present invention. Examples of the polyisocyanate compound include aromatic polyisocyanates, alicyclic polyisocyanates, aliphatic polyisocyanates, and modified polyisocyanates. Examples of the aromatic polyisocyanate include phenylene diisocyanate, tolylene diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, dimethyldiphenylmethane diisocyanate, triphenylmethane triisocyanate, naphthalene diisocyanate, and polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate. Examples of the alicyclic polyisocyanate include cyclohexylene diisocyanate, methylcyclohexylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, and dimethyldicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate. Examples of the aliphatic polyisocyanate include methylene diisocyanate, ethylene diisocyanate, propylene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate. The modified polyisocyanate is an isocyanate group-terminated prepolymer obtained by reacting a polyol component with a polyisocyanate compound, and examples thereof include urethane-modified products, carbodiimide-modified products, urea-modified products, biuret-modified products, and allophanate-modified products. The polyisocyanate compounds may be used singly or in combination of two or more. In particular, polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate (polymeric MDI, crude MDI) is preferred because it is liquid at room temperature and is easily available. Examples of the polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate include Millionate MR-200, MR-100, and MR-400 manufactured by Tosoh Corporation, Sumidur 44V20L and Dismodur 44V20L manufactured by Covestro Corporation, PM-200 and PM-400 manufactured by Wanka Chemical Co., Ltd., and PAPI27 and PAPI135 manufactured by DOW Corporation.

[0021] The amount of polyisocyanate contained in the urethane resin composition is preferably set so that the isocyanate index is 150 to 1000. If it is 150 or more, the flame retardancy is further improved, and if it is 1000 or less, the adhesion to the frame or the like is good. In particular, in the present invention, the isocyanate index is most preferably in the range of 400 to 600. The isocyanate index is calculated as the equivalent ratio of the isocyanate group contained in the isocyanate component to the active hydrogen contained in the polyol component and water or the like of the blowing agent. [Isocyanate group] / [OH group] (molar ratio) x 100

[0022] <4> Polyol Compounds The polyol compound is a material used as a curing agent in the urethane resin composition according to the present invention. The polyol compound comprises an ester-based polyol compound, an ether-based polyol compound, or a combination thereof.

[0023] <4.1> Ester-based polyol compounds Examples of the ester-based polyol compound include polymers obtained by dehydration condensation of polybasic acids and polyhydric alcohols, polymers obtained by ring-opening polymerization of lactones such as ε-caprolactone and α-methyl-ε-caprolactone, and condensates of hydroxycarboxylic acids and the above-mentioned polyhydric alcohols. Specific examples of the polybasic acid include adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, succinic acid, etc. In terms of flame retardancy, terephthalic acid-modified polybasic acids are preferred.

[0024] <4.2> Other polyol compounds Examples of other polyol compounds include polylactone polyols, polycarbonate polyols, aromatic polyols, alicyclic polyols, aliphatic polyols, polymer polyols, and polyether polyols. Examples of the polylactone polyol include polypropiolactone glycol, polycaprolactone glycol, and polyvalerolactone glycol. Examples of the polycarbonate polyol include polyols obtained by dealcoholization reaction of a hydroxyl group-containing compound such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol, pentanediol, hexanediol, octanediol, or nonanediol with diethylene carbonate or dipropylene carbonate.

Examples of the polyhydric polyether polyols include ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, 1,9-nonanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 3,3-dimethylolheptane, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, and cyclohexane-1,4-diol. Examples of suitable polyether polyols include polyether polyols obtained by addition polymerization of alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and butylene oxide using as an initiator a compound having two or more, preferably 3 to 8, active hydrogen groups, such as low-molecular-weight polyols such as ethanol, cyclohexane-1,4-dimethanol, diol dimer, bisphenol A, bis(β-hydroxyethyl)benzene, xylylene glycol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and sucrose; and aromatic and aliphatic polyamines such as ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, toluenediamine, metaphenylenediamine, diphenylmethanediamine, xylylenediamine, and triethanolamine; and polyether polyols obtained by ring-opening polymerization of cyclic ether monomers such as alkyl glycidyl ethers such as methyl glycidyl ether, aryl glycidyl ethers such as phenyl glycidyl ether, and tetrahydrofuran. In addition, polyether polyols containing bromine, phosphorus, etc. may also be used.

[0025] <5> Mineral-derived materials Mineral-based materials are materials that aim to improve fire resistance and density. As the mineral-derived material, silicate compounds are preferred, and examples of the mineral-derived material that can be used include montmorillonite, saponite, hectorite, vermiculite, kaolinite, mica, and talc. An example of the material containing kaolinite as a main component is kaolin. The kaolin also includes calcined kaolin obtained by treating kaolin at high temperatures. Calcined kaolin is preferred because it has a small moisture content and a small particle size distribution.

[0026] The content of the mineral-derived material is not particularly limited, but is preferably 15 to 85 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyol compound.

[0027] <6> trimerization catalyst The trimerization catalyst is a material that promotes the reaction of isocyanate groups contained in a polyisocyanate compound to cause trimerization and the formation of isocyanurate rings. Examples of trimerization catalysts that can be used include nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds such as tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, 2,4-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, and 2,4,6-tris(dialkylaminoalkyl)hexahydro-S-triazine; alkali metal carboxylates such as potassium acetate, potassium 2-ethylhexanoate, and potassium octoate; and quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium salts, tetraethylammonium salts, and tetraphenylammonium salts. In terms of low temperature adhesion and flame retardancy, a combination of an alkyl metal carboxylate and a quaternary ammonium salt is desirable. Examples of trimerization catalysts include Toyocat-TRX, Toyocat-TRV, and Toyocat-TR20 manufactured by Tosoh; DABCO TMR, DABCO TMR-2, DABCO TMR-7, DABCO K-15, UCAT 18X, and Polycat 46 manufactured by Evonik; and KAOLIZER NO. 410 and KAOLIZER NO. 420 manufactured by Kao.

[0028] The content of the trimerization catalyst is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyol compound. When the content is 1 part by weight or more, the flame retardancy is further improved, and when the content is 20 parts by weight or less, problems such as clogging of the mixing section of the spray gun due to an excessively fast reaction can be prevented.

[0029] <7> foaming agent The foaming agent is a material that promotes a decrease in the density of the molded product by generating gas inside the resin when the polyisocyanate compound (first liquid) is mixed with other components (second liquid). An example of a blowing agent is water. Carbon dioxide is generated by the reaction of isocyanate with water, and the carbon dioxide is trapped inside the foam, promoting a decrease in the density of the molded product.

[0030] Other examples of foaming agents include the so-called physical foaming agents listed below. Although they are liquid at room temperature, they gasify inside the resin due to the exothermic reaction between isocyanate and polyol, promoting a decrease in the density of the molded product.

[0031] [1] Hydrocarbon compounds Propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methyl formate, and the like.

[0032] [2] Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds Dichloroethane, propyl chloride, isopropyl chloride, butyl chloride, isobutyl chloride, pentyl chloride, isopentyl chloride, and the like.

[0033] [3] Fluorine compounds CHF3, CH2F2, CH3F etc.

[0034] [4] Hydrochlorofluorocarbon compounds Trichloromonofluoromethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane, dichloromonofluoroethane (for example, HCFC141b (1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane), HCFC22 (chlorodifluoromethane), HCFC142b (1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane)), and the like.

[0035] [5] Hydrofluorocarbon HFC-245fa (1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane) manufactured by Central Glass, HFC-365mfc (1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane) manufactured by Honeywell, etc.

[0037] [7]Organic compounds Methyl formate, diisopropyl ether, and the like.

[0038] Other examples of the foaming agent that can be used include nitrogen gas, oxygen gas, argon gas, and carbon dioxide gas, which can be dispersed or dissolved in the polyol component or isocyanate component.

[0039] The content of the blowing agent is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyol. The more parts by weight of the blowing agent, the lower the foam density, but at the same time, the lower the dimensional stability and compressive strength. Therefore, the number of parts by weight of the blowing agent should be set in accordance with the density design.

[0040] In the present invention, one or more of the above-mentioned foaming agents may be used.

[0041] <8> flame retardants The flame retardant is a material for imparting flame retardancy to the urethane resin composition according to the present invention. In the present invention, the flame retardant is not particularly limited, but is preferably one containing at least one selected from the group consisting of red phosphorus, ammonium polyphosphate, and phosphate ester, in order to obtain high flame retardancy. In particular, a combination of two or more components, such as ammonium polyphosphate and phosphate ester, in addition to red phosphorus, is preferred in that even higher flame retardancy can be obtained.

[0042] <8.1> Red phosphorus Red phosphorus is a material that suppresses the total heat generated during combustion. There is no limitation on the red phosphorus used in the present invention, and commercially available products can be appropriately selected and used.

[0043] The content of the red phosphorus is not particularly limited, but it is desirable that the content of the red phosphorus is 15 to 35 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyol compound.

[0044] <8.2> Phosphate-containing flame retardants Like red phosphorus, phosphate-containing flame retardants are materials that suppress the total heat generated during combustion. The phosphate-containing flame retardant used in the present invention contains phosphoric acid.

[0045] Examples of the phosphate-containing flame retardant include phosphates formed from salts of the various phosphoric acids and at least one metal or compound selected from metals of Groups IA to IVB of the periodic table, ammonia, aliphatic amines, and aromatic amines.

Examples of the aliphatic amine include methylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethylenediamine, and piperazine. Examples of the aromatic amine include pyridine, triazine, melamine, and ammonium. The phosphate-containing flame retardant may be subjected to a known treatment for improving water resistance, such as treatment with a silane coupling agent or coating with a melamine resin, and may also contain a known foaming aid such as melamine or pentaerythritol.

[0046] Specific examples of the phosphate-containing flame retardant include monophosphates, pyrophosphates, and polyphosphates. Examples of the monophosphate salts include ammonium salts such as ammonium phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and diammonium hydrogen phosphate; sodium salts such as monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, trisodium phosphate, monosodium phosphite, disodium phosphite, and sodium hypophosphite; potassium salts such as monopotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, tripotassium phosphate, monopotassium phosphite, dipotassium phosphite, and potassium hypophosphite; lithium salts such as monolithium phosphate, dilithium phosphate, trilithium phosphate, monolithium phosphite, dilithium phosphite, and lithium hypophosphite; barium salts such as barium dihydrogen phosphate, barium hydrogen phosphate, tribarium phosphate, and barium hypophosphite; magnesium salts such as magnesium monohydrogen phosphate, magnesium hydrogen phosphate, trimagnesium phosphate, and magnesium hypophosphite; calcium salts such as calcium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, and calcium hypophosphite; and zinc salts such as zinc phosphate, zinc phosphite, and zinc hypophosphite. Examples of the polyphosphate salt include ammonium polyphosphate, piperazine polyphosphate, melamine polyphosphate, ammonium amide polyphosphate, and aluminum polyphosphate.

[0047] Among these, it is preferable to use polyphosphates because they improve the self-extinguishing properties of the phosphate-containing flame retardant, and it is more preferable to use ammonium polyphosphate or aluminum phosphite, which forms a foam layer when heated.

[0048] The phosphate-containing flame retardants may be used singly or in combination.

[0049] The content of the phosphate-containing flame retardant is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyol compound.

[0050] <8.3> Chlorine-containing flame retardants The chlorine-containing flame retardant is an element that suppresses the maximum heat release rate in the early stage of combustion. The following five types of flame retardants are commonly used as chlorine-containing flame retardants. (a) Tris(chloroethyl)phosphate (TCEP) (b) Tris(β-chloropropyl)phosphate (TCPP) (c) Tris(dichloropropyl)phosphate (TDCP) (d) Tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)dichloroisopentyl diphosphate (V6) (e) Polyoxyalkylene bis(dichloroalkyl) phosphate (CR-504L)

[0051] The content of the chlorine-containing flame retardant is not particularly limited, but is preferably 60 to 120 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyol compound.

[0069] <2> Test specimen preparation method According to the formulations in the tables of each figure, the polyol, catalyst, trimerization catalyst, flame retardant, blowing agent, surface conditioner, and foam stabilizer components were weighed into a 1000 mL polypropylene beaker and stirred. Hereinafter, this mixture will be referred to as a polyol premix. The polyol premix and isocyanate were kept at a temperature of 5°C. The isocyanate component was added to the temperature-adjusted polyol premix component according to the formula in the table of each figure. After stirring for about 3 seconds with a hand mixer, the mixture was quickly poured into a 200 x 200 x 200 mm wooden box that had been adjusted to 20°C, and a foam was obtained. (Because the polyol premix component contains powder, the isocyanate component was stirred and dispersed in advance just before mixing.) After foaming, the foam was cured for 24 hours and then cut into a size of 99mm x 99mm x 50mm. The mass was measured (the foam density was calculated from the mass and size), and then a cone calorie test specimen was prepared (the test specimen was cut to a height of 50mm in the foaming direction).
