The present application relates to the field of expandable
polystyrene, and specifically discloses a
polystyrene cleaning material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the
polystyrene cleaning material comprises the following steps: S1, crushing, melting, extruding and granulating the recycled foamed polystyrene after cleaning to obtain polystyrene particles; S2, mixing the polystyrene particles with
styrene, a dispersant, an emulsifier, a filler, and a
flame retardant, stirring evenly, and preparing a blend; S3, mixing the blend with
toluene,
phosphate, and water, polymerizing for 4-5 hours, adding a
foaming agent and water, and keeping the
temperature and pressure for 4-5 hours after immersion and foaming, cooling, discharging, washing, centrifuging,
drying, and mixing with a
coating agent. The polystyrene cleaning material of the present application has the advantages of less residual
styrene monomer, high
mechanical strength, and not easy to generate friction
noise; in addition, the preparation method of the present application has the advantages of no need to crack the recycled polystyrene into
styrene monomer for reuse, simple preparation method, and low
energy consumption.
