[0009] One aspect of the present disclosure can provide a polyol composition, a polyurethane foam-forming composition, a solid flame retardant composition, and a flame retardant composition that are useful for producing a polyurethane foam having good flame retardancy. Another aspect of the present disclosure can provide a polyurethane foam having good flame retardancy.
[0010] Exemplary embodiments for carrying out each aspect of the present disclosure will be described in further detail. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. In this specification, a numerical range indicated using "to" indicates a range that includes the numerical values before and after "to" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In the numerical ranges described in this specification, the upper or lower limit of the numerical range may be replaced with a value shown in the examples. Furthermore, the upper and lower limits individually described can be combined in any combination.
[0011] [Mechanism of Flame Retardancy Derived from Flame Retardants] Polymeric materials melt, decompose, and volatilize when heated, resulting in flammable gases that ignite in the presence of oxygen, initiating combustion. Flame retardants primarily exhibit flame-retardant effects through flame-retardant mechanisms in the gas or solid phase. The flame-retardant effect in the gas phase tends to be higher the more OH radicals, which have a strong combustion traction force and are generated during organic combustion, are trapped. On the other hand, the flame-retardant effect in the solid phase tends to be higher the more highly flame-retardant graphite-like carbon layers (carbonized layers) are produced. Furthermore, the carbonized layers form a multilayer structure due to the presence of phosphorus, which tends to further improve flame retardancy.
[0012] In each aspect of the present disclosure, the present inventors speculate that the use of two or more of a bromine-containing flame retardant as an OH radical trap, a solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant as a phosphorus source necessary for the formation of a multilayer carbonized layer, and a boron-containing flame retardant as a carbonized layer formation aid will result in a polyurethane foam with superior flame retardancy compared to the use of each agent alone. That is, the present inventors speculate that when two or more of these flame retardants exhibit flame retardancy, they confer flame retardancy to the polyurethane foam through different mechanisms, unlike the use of a single agent alone, resulting in unexpectedly excellent flame retardancy. Furthermore, the combined use of a bromine-containing flame retardant, a solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant, and a boron-containing flame retardant will result in a polyurethane foam with even superior flame retardancy compared to the use of two or more of these flame retardants in combination.
[0013] Furthermore, by using two bromine-containing flame retardants with different decomposition temperatures in combination, it becomes possible to trap OH radicals, which have a large combustion traction force, over a wider temperature range than when a single bromine-containing flame retardant is used, thereby obtaining a polyurethane foam with even better flame retardancy than when a single bromine-containing flame retardant is used.Furthermore, by using three bromine-containing flame retardants with different decomposition temperatures in combination, it becomes possible to trap OH radicals, which have a large combustion traction force, over a wider temperature range than when a two-bromine-containing flame retardant is used in combination, thereby obtaining a polyurethane foam with even better flame retardancy than when a two-bromine-containing flame retardant is used in combination.
[0014] The decomposition temperature of a bromine-containing flame retardant depends on the shape of the carbon atom to which the bromine atom is bonded, and the decomposition temperature is higher for a carbon atom-bromine atom bond derived from an aromatic group than for a carbon atom-bromine atom bond derived from an aliphatic group. Also, the decomposition temperature is higher for a carbon atom-bromine atom bond derived from a polymer compound than for a carbon atom-bromine atom bond derived from a low molecular weight compound. Therefore, the decomposition temperature of a bromine-containing flame retardant depends on the shape of the carbon atom to which the bromine atom is bonded and / or the molecular weight.
[0015] [Polyol Composition] The polyol composition forms a polyurethane foam by mixing with a polyisocyanate composition. The polyol composition contains a polyol compound as an essential component and may contain a solid flame retardant and a liquid flame retardant.

[0016] The polyol composition may further contain one or more selected from the group consisting of a foam stabilizer, a blowing agent, a catalyst, an inorganic filler, an anti-settling agent, a dispersion stabilizer, and other additives.
[0017] The polyol composition is preferably used as the first liquid of the polyurethane foam-forming composition. That is, during distribution, the composition is preferably in the form of a two-component or multi-component type that combines a first liquid containing the polyol composition, a second liquid containing the polyisocyanate composition, and, in the case of a multi-component type, a third liquid (and fourth or more liquids) containing components other than the polyol composition and the polyisocyanate composition, and the first liquid and the second liquid, or, in the case of a multi-component type, the third liquid (and fourth or more liquids), are preferably mixed together during foam formation.

The term "two-component type" refers to a configuration in which a first component containing a polyol composition and a second component containing a polyisocyanate composition are stored separately and mixed when foam is formed. The term "multi-component type" refers to a configuration in which, for example, a first component containing a polyol composition, a second component containing a polyisocyanate composition, and a third component (and a fourth component or more) containing components other than the polyol composition and the polyisocyanate composition are stored separately and mixed when foam is formed. The polyol composition contains a polyol compound, and the polyisocyanate composition contains a polyisocyanate compound.

Preferably, only the polyol composition contains a solid flame retardant. The solid flame retardant contains two or more selected from the group consisting of a solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant, a bromine-containing flame retardant, and a boron-containing flame retardant. That is, the solid flame retardant may contain two types of flame retardants: a solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant and a bromine-containing flame retardant; a solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant and a boron-containing flame retardant; or a solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant, a bromine-containing flame retardant, and a boron-containing flame retardant.

The upper limit of the content of the solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant, relative to the mass of the polyurethane foam constituents of the polyurethane foam-forming composition, may be, for example, 12.0% by mass or less, 11.5% by mass or less, 11.0% by mass or less, 10.5% by mass or less, 10.0% by mass or less, 9.5% by mass or less, 9.0% by mass or less, 8.5% by mass or less, 8.0% by mass or less, 7.5% by mass or less, 7.0% by mass or less, 6.5% by mass or less, 6.0% by mass or less, 5.5% by mass or less, 5.0% by mass or less, 4.5% by mass or less, 4.0% by mass or less, 3.5% by mass or less, 3.0% by mass or less, 2.5% by mass or less, 2.0% by mass or less, 1.5% by mass or less, or 1.0% by mass or less. The content of the solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant, relative to the mass of the polyurethane foam components of the polyurethane foam-forming composition, may be, for example, 0.5% by mass to 12.0% by mass, 1.0% by mass to 11.5% by mass, 1.5% by mass to 11.0% by mass, 2.0% by mass to 10.5% by mass, 2.5% by mass to 10.0% by mass, 3.0% by mass to 9.5% by mass, 3.5% by mass to 9.0% by mass, 4.0% by mass to 8.5% by mass, 4.5% by mass to 8.0% by mass, 5.0% by mass to 7.5% by mass, 5.5% by mass to 7.0% by mass, or 6.0% by mass to 6.5% by mass. When the content of the solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant is within the above range, a polyurethane foam having excellent flame retardancy tends to be obtained. When the content of the solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant is equal to or less than the upper limit, the rate of conversion of unreacted isocyanate groups to isocyanurate groups increases, and a polyurethane foam having particularly excellent flame retardancy tends to be obtained.When the content of the solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant is at least as high as the lower limit, the flame retardant effect derived from the solid phosphorus-containing flame retardant is easily exhibited, and a polyurethane foam having particularly excellent flame retardancy tends to be easily obtained.
[0049] In yet another embodiment of the polyurethane foam of the present disclosure, for example, the polyurethane foam is produced under conditions in which isocyanate groups are in large excess relative to the active hydrogen-containing component (polyol compound, water). When producing the polyurethane foam under these conditions, a portion of the isocyanate groups react with the active hydrogen-containing component to form urethane or urea groups, while the remaining unreacted isocyanate groups are converted to isocyanurate groups. Because isocyanurate groups have a much higher decomposition temperature than urethane or urea groups, the more isocyanurate groups present, the better the flame retardancy of the resulting polyurethane foam. Meanwhile, unreacted isocyanate groups react with moisture in the air to form amino groups, which then react with carbonyl bonds in the polyurethane foam, resulting in decomposition of the polyurethane resin. Generally, the higher the molecular weight of the polyurethane resin, the better the flame retardancy. Therefore, the higher the rate of isocyanurate groups produced from unreacted isocyanate groups, the better the flame retardancy of the resulting polyurethane foam.
[0050] In this specification, "polyurethane foam constituents of a polyurethane foam-forming composition" refers to components that constitute a polyurethane foam. For example, the components that constitute a polyurethane foam, among liquid flame retardants, solid flame retardants, polyol compounds, polyisocyanate compounds, foam stabilizers, blowing agents, catalysts, and other additives, are "polyurethane foam constituents of a polyurethane foam-forming composition." Note that all or most of the blowing agent is discharged to the outside of the system as bubbles and does not constitute a polyurethane foam. For example, in the case of water used as a blowing agent, hydrogen atoms constitute part of the urea bonds in the polyurethane foam, but oxygen atoms form CO 2 Therefore, in this specification, the blowing agent is not included in the "polyurethane foam constituent component of the polyurethane foam-forming composition."
[0051] (Bromine-containing flame retardant) The bromine-containing flame retardant may contain only one kind or two kinds, but it is preferable that the bromine-containing flame retardant contains at least two kinds consisting of a first bromine-containing flame retardant and a second bromine-containing flame retardant.
[0052] The bromine-containing flame retardant is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound containing a bromine atom in its molecular structure, and examples thereof include compounds containing an aliphatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond (aliphatic bromine-containing compound), compounds which do not contain an aliphatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond but contain an aromatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond and have three or less aromatic rings (aromatic bromine-containing low-molecular-weight compound), and compounds which contain an aromatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond and have an average of more than three aromatic rings in the molecule (aromatic bromine-containing high-molecular-weight compound).
[0053] Here, it is preferred that the first bromine-containing flame retardant is one selected from the following three (a) to (c): (a) an aliphatic bromine-containing compound, (b) an aromatic bromine-containing low molecular weight compound, or (c) an aromatic bromine-containing high molecular weight compound; and the second bromine-containing flame retardant is one selected from two other than the one selected from the three (a) to (c).
[0054] The use of two bromine-containing flame retardants, each differing in the form of the carbon atom to which the bromine atom is bonded and / or in molecular weight, tends to produce polyurethane foams with even better flame retardancy than when a single bromine-containing flame retardant is used. Furthermore, the use of three bromine-containing flame retardants, each differing in the form of the carbon atom to which the bromine atom is bonded and / or in molecular weight, tends to produce polyurethane foams with even better flame retardancy than when a single bromine-containing flame retardant is used. In particular, the use of two or more bromine-containing flame retardants selected from (a) aliphatic bromine-containing compounds, (b) aromatic bromine-containing low-molecular-weight compounds, and (c) aromatic bromine-containing high-molecular-weight compounds tends to produce polyurethane foams with especially excellent flame retardancy.
[0055] Examples of compounds containing an aliphatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond (aliphatic bromine-containing compounds) include low-molecular-weight organic bromine compounds such as 2,4,6-tris(2,4-dibromopropyl)-1,3,5-triazine (Pyroguard SR-750), 4,4'-dimethylmethylenebis[2,6-dibromo-1-(2,3-dibromopropyloxy)benzene] (Pyroguard SR-720), and 4,4'-dimethylmethylenebis[2,6-dibromo-1-(2-methyl-2,3-dibromopropyloxy)benzene] (Pyroguard SR-130). Among these, aliphatic bromine-containing compounds containing an aliphatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond and an aromatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond are preferred, with 4,4'-dimethylmethylenebis[2,6-dibromo-1-(2,3-dibromopropyloxy)benzene] being particularly preferred.
[0056] Specific examples of compounds (aromatic bromine-containing low molecular weight compounds) that do not contain an aliphatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond but contain an aromatic carbon atom-bromine atom bond and have three or less aromatic rings include low molecular weight organic bromine compounds such as hexabromobenzene, 2,4,6-tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (Pyroguard SR-245), pentabromotoluene, hexabromobiphenyl, decabromobiphenyl, hexabromocyclodecane, decabromodiphenyl ether, octabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromodiphenyl ether, bis(pentabromophenoxy)ethane, ethylenebis(pentabromophenyl), ethylenebis(tetrabromophthalimide), and tetrabromobisphenol A. Of these, 2,4,6-tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine and ethylenebis(pentabromophenyl) are preferred.
[0057] Specific examples of compounds containing aromatic carbon atom-bromine atom bonds and having an average of more than three aromatic rings in the molecule (aromatic bromine-containing polymer compounds) include homopolymers derived from 2,6-dibromophenol or 2,4-dibromophenol (Pyroguard SR-460B), polycarbonate oligomers produced using brominated bisphenol A as a raw material, brominated polycarbonates such as copolymers of the polycarbonate oligomers and bisphenol A (FG-8500, FG-7500, FG-7000), and brominated polymers produced by reacting brominated bisphenol A with 1,2-dichloroethane. brominated epoxy compounds such as diepoxy compounds produced by the reaction of brominated bisphenol A with epichlorohydrin and monoepoxy compounds obtained by the reaction of brominated phenols with epichlorohydrin, poly(brominated benzyl acrylate), brominated polyphenylene ether, condensates of cyanuric chloride and brominated phenol, brominated (polystyrene), poly(brominated styrene), brominated polystyrenes such as crosslinked brominated polystyrene, halogenated bromine compound polymers such as crosslinked or non-crosslinked brominated poly(α-methylstyrene), and combinations of any two or more of these. Among these, brominated polycarbonates such as homopolymers derived from 2,6-dibromophenol or 2,4-dibromophenol, polycarbonate oligomers produced using brominated bisphenol A as a raw material, and copolymers of the polycarbonate oligomers with bisphenol A are preferred.

The upper limit of the content ratio of the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 450°C or higher may be, for example, 95% by mass or less, 90% by mass or less, 80% by mass or less, 70% by mass or less, 60% by mass or less, 52% by mass or less, 48% by mass or less, 44% by mass or less, 40% by mass or less, 36% by mass or less, 30% by mass or less, 25% by mass or less, 20% by mass or less, 15% by mass or less, 10% by mass or less, or 5% by mass or less, relative to the sum of the content of the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of less than 370°C, the content of the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 370°C or more but less than 450°C, and the content of the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 450°C or more.

When the content ratio of the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 450°C or higher is within the above range, a polyurethane foam with excellent flame retardancy tends to be obtained more easily due to the synergistic effect of the flame retardant effects derived from the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 450°C or higher and the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of less than 370°C and / or the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 370°C or higher but less than 450°C.When the content ratio of the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 450° C. or higher is equal to or lower than the upper limit, the flame retardant effect derived from the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of less than 370° C. and / or the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 370° C. or higher but lower than 450° C. is more likely to be exhibited, and a polyurethane foam having particularly excellent flame retardancy is more likely to be obtained. When the content ratio of the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 450° C. or higher is equal to or higher than the lower limit, the flame retardant effect derived from the bromine-containing flame retardant having a decomposition temperature of 450° C. or higher is more likely to be exhibited, and a polyurethane foam having particularly excellent flame retardancy is more likely to be obtained.

[0103] From the viewpoint of enhancing the flame retardancy of polyurethane foams, the polyether polyol is preferably an aromatic polyether polyol having an aromatic ring in the molecule, and among these, amine-based polyether polyols such as tolylenediamine-based polyether polyols and Mannich-based polyether polyols are preferred, with Mannich-based polyether polyols being more preferred. The tolylenediamine-based polyether polyol is a polyether polyol obtained using tolylenediamine as an initiator. The Mannich-based polyether polyol is a polyether polyol produced by utilizing the Mannich reaction of phenols, primary or secondary amines, and aldehydes, such as a polyether polyol obtained using a Mannich condensate as an initiator.
[0104] The hydroxyl value of the polyether polyol is preferably 200 to 1000 mgKOH / g, more preferably 300 to 600 mgKOH / g, as measured in accordance with JIS K1557-1:2007.
[0105] (Polyester Polyol) Examples of polyester polyols include aromatic polyester polyols and aliphatic polyester polyols. However, considering the flame retardancy of the resulting polyurethane foam, aromatic polyester polyols are preferred. The aromatic polyester polyol is preferably a condensate of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, such as o-phthalic acid (phthalic acid), m-phthalic acid (isophthalic acid), p-phthalic acid (terephthalic acid), or naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, with a glycol. Among these, from the viewpoint of enhancing the flame retardancy of the polyurethane foam, phthalic acid-based polyester polyols, which are condensates of at least one of o-phthalic acid, m-phthalic acid, and p-phthalic acid with a glycol, are preferred, and p-phthalic acid-based polyester polyols, which are condensates of p-phthalic acid with a glycol, are more preferred. The glycol is not particularly limited, but it is preferred to use low-molecular-weight aliphatic glycols known as constituent components of polyester polyols, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol.
[0106] Among the above-mentioned polyol compounds, from the viewpoint of enhancing the flame retardancy of the polyurethane foam, it is preferable to contain an aromatic polyester polyol, and it is more preferable that the aromatic polyester polyol contains at least one of a terephthalic acid-based polyester polyol and an amine-based polyether polyol.
[0107] The hydroxyl value of the polyester polyol is preferably from 100 to 400 mgKOH / g, and more preferably from 150 to 350 mgKOH / g.
[0108] The lower limit of the aromatic polyester polyol content may be, for example, 50% by mass or more, 55% by mass or more, 60% by mass or more, 65% by mass or more, 70% by mass or more, 75% by mass or more, 80% by mass or more, or 85% by mass or more, relative to the content of the polyol compound.

The content of the aromatic polyester polyol, relative to the content of the polyol compound, may be, for example, 50% by mass to 100% by mass, 55% by mass to 99% by mass, 60% by mass to 98% by mass, 65% by mass to 96% by mass, 70% by mass to 94% by mass, 75% by mass to 92% by mass, 80% by mass to 90% by mass, or 85% by mass to 88% by mass. When the content of the aromatic polyester polyol is within the above range, a polyurethane foam-forming composition with excellent handleability due to reduced viscosity and a polyurethane foam with excellent flame retardancy tend to be readily obtained. When the content of the aromatic polyester polyol is equal to or less than the above upper limit, a polyurethane foam-forming composition with excellent handleability due to reduced viscosity tends to be readily obtained. Furthermore, when the content of the aromatic polyester polyol is equal to or greater than the above lower limit, a polyurethane foam with excellent flame retardancy tends to be readily obtained.

When the amount of the terephthalic acid-based polyester polyol is within the above range, a polyurethane foam-forming composition with excellent handleability and a polyurethane foam with excellent flame retardancy tend to be obtained due to a decrease in viscosity. When the amount of the terephthalic acid-based polyester polyol is equal to or less than the above upper limit, a polyurethane foam-forming composition with excellent handleability tend to be obtained due to a decrease in viscosity. Furthermore, when the amount of the terephthalic acid-based polyester polyol is equal to or greater than the above lower limit, a polyurethane foam with excellent flame retardancy tends to be obtained.

The polyisocyanate composition may consist solely of a polyisocyanate compound. As the polyisocyanate compound, various polyisocyanate compounds having two or more isocyanate groups, such as aromatic, alicyclic, and aliphatic polyisocyanate compounds, can be used. Liquid diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) is preferably used because of its ease of handling, rapid reaction, excellent physical properties of the resulting polyurethane foam, and low cost. Examples of liquid MDI include crude MDI (also known as polymeric MDI). Specific commercially available liquid MDI products include "44V-10" and "44V-20" (manufactured by Sumika Covestro Urethane Co., Ltd.), and "Millionate MR200" (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation).

When the isocyanate index is within the above range, a polyurethane foam with excellent flame retardancy tends to be easily obtained. When the isocyanate index is equal to or greater than the above lower limit, the amount of isocyanate nurate groups produced increases, and a polyurethane foam with particularly excellent flame retardancy tends to be easily obtained. On the other hand, when the isocyanate index is equal to or less than the above upper limit, the rate of conversion of unreacted isocyanate groups to isocyanurate groups increases, and a polyurethane foam with particularly excellent flame retardancy tends to be easily obtained.

Because the physical blowing agent contains chlorine in its molecule, it also exhibits flame retardancy. When the content of the physical blowing agent is within the above range, polyurethane foams tend to be obtained that are excellent in mechanical properties such as compressive strength, dimensional stability, and adhesiveness, as well as in flame retardancy. When the content of the physical blowing agent is equal to or less than the above upper limit, polyurethane foams tend to be obtained that are excellent in mechanical properties, particularly compressive strength, dimensional stability, and adhesiveness. Furthermore, when the content of the physical blowing agent is equal to or greater than the lower limit, a polyurethane foam having particularly excellent flame retardancy tends to be easily obtained.
[0125] When the blowing agent contains water and a physical blowing agent, the lower limit of the content of the physical blowing agent may be 40 mol% or more, 50 mol% or more, 55 mol% or more, 60 mol% or more, 65 mol% or more, 70 mol% or more, 75 mol% or more, 80 mol% or more, 83 mol% or more, 85 mol% or more, 87 mol% or more, 89 mol% or more, 91 mol% or more, 93 mol% or more, 95 mol% or more, 97 mol% or more, or 99 mol% or more, based on the total content of the water and the physical blowing agent.

When the content of the physical blowing agent is equal to or less than the upper limit, a polyurethane foam having excellent mechanical properties, particularly compressive strength, tends to be obtained.
[0126] <Catalyst> The polyol composition and the polyurethane foam-forming composition may contain a catalyst. Either the polyisocyanate composition or the polyol composition may contain a catalyst, or both may contain a catalyst. It is preferred that only the polyol composition contains a catalyst. The catalyst may contain, for example, one or both of a urethane / urea formation catalyst and a trimerization catalyst, and it is preferred that both are contained.
[0127] The urethane / urea catalyst is a catalyst that promotes the reaction between a polyol component and a polyisocyanate. Specific examples include amino compounds, tin compounds, bismuth compounds, and metal acetylacetone salts. Examples of amino compounds include pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether, bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether, N,N,N',N",N"-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, N,N,N'-trimethylaminoethyl-ethanolamine, bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether, N-methyl-N',N'-dimethylaminoethylpiperazine, imidazole compounds in which the secondary amine functional group in the imidazole ring is substituted with a cyanoethyl group, N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, diazabicycloundecene, triethylenediamine, tetramethylethylenediamine, tetramethylhexamethylenediamine, 1-methylimidazole, trimethylaminoethylpiperazine, and tripropylamine. Examples of tin compounds include stannous octoate, dibutyltin diacetate, and dibutyltin dilaurate. Examples of bismuth compounds include bismuth neodecanoate and bismuth octoate. Examples of acetylacetone metal salts include aluminum acetylacetone, iron acetylacetone, copper acetylacetone, zinc acetylacetone, beryllium acetylacetone, chromium acetylacetone, indium acetylacetone, manganese acetylacetone, molybdenum acetylacetone, titanium acetylacetone, cobalt acetylacetone, vanadium acetylacetone, and zirconium acetylacetone. These urethane / urea catalysts may be used alone or in any combination of two or more.
[0128] The amount of the urethane / urea catalyst is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.01 to 3.0 mass %, more preferably 0.03 to 2.0 mass %, even more preferably 0.05 to 1.5 mass %, particularly preferably 0.07 to 1.0 mass %, and most preferably 0.1 to 0.8 mass %, based on the mass of the polyurethane foam constituents of the polyurethane foam-forming composition. By ensuring that the amount is within the above range, the reaction between the polyol component and the polyisocyanate component can be promoted at an appropriate reaction rate.
[0129] The trimerization catalyst is a catalyst that promotes the formation of isocyanurate bonds. By promoting trimerization in the polyurethane foam-forming composition, the flame retardancy of the resulting polyurethane foam is improved. Examples of trimerization catalysts include aromatic compounds such as tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, 2,4-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, and 2,4,6-tris(dialkylaminoalkyl)hexahydro-S-triazine; aziridines such as potassium acetate, sodium acetate, potassium 2-ethylhexanoate, sodium 2-ethylhexanoate, potassium octoate, sodium octoate, and 2-ethylaziridine; lead compounds such as lead naphthenate and lead octoate; metal salts such as sodium methoxide and potassium phenoxide; tertiary or quaternary ammonium salts such as trimethylammonium salt, triethylammonium salt, triphenylammonium salt, tetramethylammonium salt, tetraethylammonium, and tetraphenylammonium salt; and combinations of any two or more thereof.
[0130] The content of the trimerization catalyst is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of improving the curing rate of the polyurethane foam-forming composition and the flame retardancy of the polyurethane foam, it is preferably 0.5 to 6.0 mass %, more preferably 0.8 to 4.0 mass %, even more preferably 1.1 to 3.0 mass %, particularly preferably 1.3 to 2.5 mass %, and most preferably 1.5 to 2.0 mass %, relative to the mass of the polyurethane foam constituents of the polyurethane foam-forming composition. By keeping the content of the trimerization catalyst within the above range, an appropriate amount of isocyanurate bonds are formed, improving flame retardancy.
[0131] The trimerization catalyst tends to provide a polyurethane foam that is excellent in reactivity during foaming and in flame retardancy by using a metal salt in combination with a tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt.
[0132] The lower limit of the content of the tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt may be, for example, 5.0 mass% or more, 15.0 mass% or more, 25.0 mass% or more, 35.0 mass% or more, 45.0 mass% or more, 55.0 mass% or more, or 65.0 mass% or more, relative to the content of the trimerization catalyst. The upper limit of the content of the tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt may be, for example, 100 mass% or less, 95.0 mass% or less, 90.0 mass% or less, 85.0 mass% or less, 80.0 mass% or less, 75.0 mass% or less, or 70.0 mass% or less, relative to the content of the trimerization catalyst. The content of the tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt, relative to the content of the trimerization catalyst, may be, for example, 5.0% by mass to 100% by mass, 15.0% by mass to 95.0% by mass, 25.0% by mass to 90.0% by mass, 35.0% by mass to 85.0% by mass, 45.0% by mass to 80.0% by mass, 55.0% by mass to 75.0% by mass, or 65.0% by mass to 70.0% by mass. When the content of the tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt is within the above range, a polyurethane foam having excellent reactivity during foaming and excellent flame retardancy tends to be obtained. When the content of the tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt is equal to or greater than the above lower limit, a polyurethane foam having particularly high reactivity tends to be obtained, which is particularly effective for spray foaming applications. Furthermore, when the content of the tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt is equal to or less than the above upper limit, a polyurethane foam having particularly excellent flame retardancy tends to be obtained.
[0133] (Other Additives) The polyol composition and polyurethane foam-forming composition may further contain additives other than the solid flame retardant, liquid flame retardant, polyol compound, polyisocyanate compound, foam stabilizer, blowing agent, catalyst, and inorganic filler. Examples of other additives include phenolic, amine, and sulfur-based antioxidants, heat stabilizers, metal inhibitors, antistatic agents, stabilizers, crosslinking agents, lubricants, softeners, pigments, tackifying resins, and tackifiers (polybutene, petroleum resins, etc.).
[0134] (Production Method) The method for producing a polyurethane foam is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method in which a polyol composition and a polyisocyanate composition are previously prepared by kneading and then kneading the two, and a method in which the components constituting the polyurethane foam are kneaded together. However, the polyurethane foam is usually produced by kneading a polyol composition and a polyisocyanate composition. The kneading can be carried out by a known method, and the polyurethane foam can be obtained by kneading using a known device such as a single-screw extruder, a twin-screw extruder, a Banbury mixer, a kneader mixer, a kneading roll, a Raikai mixer, or a planetary mixer.
[0135] (Total heat generation) The polyurethane foam, which is a foam of the polyurethane foam-forming composition (a reaction product of a polyisocyanate composition and a polyol composition), is a cone calorimeter test sample prepared under the following preparation conditions from a polyurethane foam-forming composition containing a polyol compound, a liquid flame retardant, a solid flame retardant, a polyisocyanate compound, a foam stabilizer, a blowing agent, and a catalyst, and has a radiant heat intensity of 50 kW / m2 or more, as measured in accordance with the test method of ISO-5660. 2 When heated at 10 minutes, the total heat generated is 10 MJ / m 2 The total calorific value is preferably 10 MJ / m or less. 2 In order to further improve the flame retardancy of the polyurethane foam, the total calorific value is 9 MJ / m or less. 2 Preferably, it is 8 MJ / m or less. 2 More preferably, it is 7 MJ / m or less. 2 More preferably, it is 6.5 MJ / m or less. 2 It is particularly preferable that the concentration is 6 MJ / m or less. 2It is most preferable that the gross calorific value is equal to or less than 1000 kJ / min. The gross calorific value can be obtained by a cone calorimeter test, and in detail, can be measured by the method described in the Examples. In the cone calorimeter test, it is preferable that the polyurethane foam used in the test has sufficient shape stability to avoid contact with the spark igniter of the cone calorimeter. [Conditions for preparing a sample for cone calorimeter test] (1): The polyurethane foam-forming composition is stirred for 5 seconds with a laboratory spar. (2): Immediately after (1), the composition is spread into a mold having dimensions of 150 mm height x 150 mm depth x 150 mm width to obtain a polyurethane foam. (3): The polyurethane foam is cut into a length of 10 cm, width of 10 cm, and thickness of 2.5 cm to obtain a sample for cone calorimeter test.
[0136] (Applications) The applications of the polyurethane foam, which is a foam of the polyurethane foam-forming composition (a reaction product of a polyisocyanate composition and a polyol composition), are not particularly limited, and the polyurethane foam can be used to fill cavities in structures such as buildings, furniture, automobiles, trains, and ships, or to be sprayed onto such structures. Among these, it is preferable to use the polyurethane foam-forming composition for spraying onto structures, i.e., for spraying. The structure is, for example, an object to which flame retardancy is to be imparted.
[0137] The solid flame retardant composition can be used for polyurethane foam. The solid flame retardant composition can also be used for spraying. In other words, the solid flame retardant composition can be used for spraying, in which the solid flame retardant composition is sprayed onto an object to adhere the solid flame retardant composition to the object.
[0138] Spraying can be carried out using a spraying device (e.g., A-25 manufactured by GRACO) and a spray gun (e.g., D-gun manufactured by Gasmar). Spraying can be carried out by adjusting the temperature of the polyol composition and the polyisocyanate composition contained in separate containers in the spraying device, causing them to collide and mix at the tip of the spray gun, and turning the mixed liquid into a mist using air pressure. Commercially available spraying devices and spray guns can be used.
[0139] The density of the polyurethane foam is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 to 200 kg / m 3 It is preferable that the density is in the range of 200 kg / m 3 By setting the density to 20 kg / m or less, the polyurethane foam becomes lightweight and the workability to structures is improved. 3 From these viewpoints, the density of the polyurethane foam is set to 25 to 100 kg / m or more, which makes it easier to exhibit the desired flame retardancy. 3 More preferably, it is in the range of 25 to 80 kg / m 3 More preferably, it is in the range of 30 to 60 kg / m 3 More preferably, it is in the range of 35 to 50 kg / m 3 The density of the polyurethane foam can be measured in accordance with JIS K7222.

[0192] The methods for evaluating the appearance and measuring the various physical properties and characteristics are as follows.
[0193] [Decomposition temperature of bromine-containing flame retardant] The decomposition temperature of the bromine-containing flame retardant was calculated by TG-DTA. The bromine-containing flame retardant was heated to 700°C at 5°C / min using TG-DTA, and the temperature at which the weight loss rate reached 50% was taken as the decomposition temperature. The weight loss rate was calculated as sample mass during measurement (mg) / sample mass before measurement (mg) × 100. The weight loss rate was measured under the following conditions.
[0194] [Conditions] The following steps [1] to [3] were carried out using a Hitachi High-Tech Science STA7200RV. [1] 8.5±0.5 mg of bromine-containing flame retardant was placed in the measuring device. [2] The air flow rate was set to 200 mL / min. [3] The temperature was increased from 25°C to 700°C at a rate of 5°C / min.
[0195] [Total Heat Release, Maximum Heat Release Rate, Weight Retention Rate] The total heat release rate of the polyurethane foams produced in each of the Examples and Comparative Examples was evaluated by the following method. A polyurethane foam-forming composition was obtained by mixing a polyol composition and a polyisocyanate compound in the formulations shown in Tables 1-1 to 20-1 in a polypropylene beaker, and the mixture was stirred for 5 seconds with a laboratory spar. The composition was then immediately sprayed into a mold measuring 150 mm high x 150 mm deep x 150 mm wide to obtain a polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam was cut into a length of 10 cm, width of 10 cm, and thickness of 2.5 cm to prepare a sample for cone calorimeter testing. Using the cone calorimeter test sample, a test was conducted in accordance with the ISO-5660 test method, with a radiant heat intensity of 50 kW / m 2 The total heat release rate and maximum heat release rate after 10 minutes were measured by a cone calorimeter test when the sample was heated at 400°C for 10 minutes. The weight retention rate was calculated from the difference between the sample mass before the cone calorimeter test and the sample mass after the cone calorimeter test. The cone calorimeter test was performed using a CONE-III (manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho, Ltd.).
[0196] [Appearance of Polyurethane Foam] The appearance of the obtained polyurethane foam was evaluated visually. The degree of coloration of the polyurethane foam was evaluated as A, B, C, or D (A: no coloration, B: very slight coloration, C: slight coloration, D: coloration). The evaluation results are shown in Tables 1-2 to 20-2.
[0197] [Gel Time] The gel times (seconds) of the polyol and polyisocyanate compositions prepared in each Example and Comparative Example immediately after preparation (initial) and two weeks after preparation at 25°C were measured by measuring the time from the start of mixing the polyol and polyisocyanate compositions, which had been cooled to 0°C, to the start of stringing of the foaming liquid concentrate composition when a thin glass or metal rod was lightly inserted into the top of the foaming foaming liquid concentrate composition and then quickly pulled out, as gelation progressed, in an atmosphere at 23°C. The reaction delay time was calculated by subtracting the gel time immediately after preparation of the polyol and polyisocyanate compositions from the gel time two weeks after preparation at 25°C. The results of various evaluations are shown in Tables 1-2, 2-2, 4-2 to 7-2, and 17-2 to 20-2.
[0198] Example 1 First, a polyol compound, a blowing agent, a catalyst, a solid flame retardant, a liquid flame retardant, and a foam stabilizer were weighed into a 500 mL polypropylene beaker in the proportions shown in Table 1-1 and stirred with a hand mixer at 20°C for 10 minutes to obtain a polyol composition. A polyisocyanate compound was also weighed into a 500 mL polypropylene beaker to obtain an isocyanate composition. Subsequently, a polyurethane foam-forming composition was prepared by adding a polyisocyanate composition, also cooled to 10°C, to the polyol composition. The composition was then stirred for 5 seconds with a laboratory spar to produce a polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam was then evaluated for appearance, total heat release, maximum heat release rate, and weight retention. The results of the various evaluations are shown in Table 1-2.
[0199] Examples 2 to 121, Comparative Examples 1 to 11 Polyurethane foams were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the formulations were changed as shown in Tables 1-1 to 20-1. Using the polyurethane foams, the appearance, total heat generation, maximum heat generation rate, and weight retention of the polyurethane foams were evaluated according to the procedures described above. The results of the various evaluations are shown in Tables 1-2 to 20-2. In addition, the gel time (seconds) and reaction delay time were determined according to the procedures described above immediately after preparation of the polyol composition and polyisocyanate composition (initial period) and two weeks after preparation of the polyol composition and polyisocyanate composition at 25°C. The results of the various evaluations are shown in Tables 1-2, 2-2, 4-2 to 7-2, and 17-2 to 20-2.
