The invention provides a preparation method of a cross-linking agent, the cross-linking agent and application of the cross-linking agent, a precursor HAPCP is prepared from phosphonitrilic
chloride trimer and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, then chain extension is performed on the precursor HAPCP and aminoethyl
acrylate hydrochloride to obtain a
solid substance D, and finally, the target cross-linking agent is prepared from the
solid substance D and DOPO. The molecular formula of the target cross-linking agent is C150H138N9O24P9, the cross-linking agent prepared by the process contains two
flame-retardant groups, namely cyclotriphosphazene and DOPO, and also contains a large amount of
acrylate groups, and in the production process of the
flame-retardant
unsaturated polyester resin, the
flame-retardant
unsaturated polyester resin has excellent flame-retardant property and flame-retardant property. Two non-
halogen flame-retardant groups, namely cyclotriphosphazene and DOPO, can be simultaneously introduced into an
unsaturated polyester resin matrix through the cross-linking agent, the flame retardance of the flame-retardant unsaturated
polyester resin can be remarkably improved under the synergism of the two flame-retardant groups, the cross-linking requirement of unsaturated
polyester can be met, the flame-retardant property requirement can also be met, and the cross-linking agent has the advantages of being high in applicability, low in cost and the like. The method conforms to the
green chemistry concept and is convenient to popularize and implement.
