Preparation method of hard foam flame-retardant polyether polyol for all-water foaming
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polyurethane synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of hard foam flame-retardant polyether polyol for full water foaming.
Background
In the prior art, various foaming agents are used for foaming hard polyether polyol, and at present, CFC systems are mostly used as the foaming agents, wherein HCFC-141B is mainly used, and some foaming agents even use national banned Freon-11 and the like, but the foaming agents are not environment-friendly and bring certain environmental hazards. In recent years, a plurality of units or individuals develop some all-water rigid polyether polyols, water is used for replacing a foaming agent, and the all-water foaming rigid foam polyether polyol technology is environment-friendly because carbon dioxide generated by the reaction of water and isocyanate is used as a foaming gas, ODP (ozone depletion potential) is zero, and GWP (greenhouse gas effect value) is 1, so that the all-water foaming rigid foam polyether polyol technology has a wide application prospect.
In the prior art, the synthesis process of the all-water foaming hard foam polyether polyol is mainly as follows: the catalyst is prepared by reacting sucrose, sorbitol, pentaerythritol, low molecular weight polyol or mixture thereof as initiator with propylene oxide by KOH catalysis or dimethylamine catalysis. However, the prior art rigid foam polyether polyol synthesis processes have the following disadvantages: (1) the all-water foaming hard foam polyether polyol product prepared by the process has high viscosity and high hydroxyl value, and in the all-water foaming polyether composite material, as no CFC, HCFC and other physical foaming agents which can be used as diluents exist, the viscosity of the compound composite material is high, and the mold filling property is poor when a foam product is processed; (2) when the hard foam polyether polyol in the prior art is subjected to full-water foaming, the speed of diffusing carbon dioxide in a foaming gas from a foam hole to the outside is 1.0 time faster than the speed of entering air into the foam hole, so that foam is induced to shrink and is easy to collapse; (3) when the rigid foam polyether polyol in the prior art is subjected to full-water foaming, as the using amount of water is larger, the rigid foam polyether polyol reacts with isocyanate to form more urea bonds, so that a foam body is brittle, and the bonding force with a heat insulation system is weak; (4) the hard polyether polyol for full water foaming in the prior art has the defect of poor flame retardant effect, and the flame retardant performance of the material is improved mainly by adding a non-reactive micromolecular flame retardant containing halogen, phosphorus and inorganic salts, however, the external addition type non-reactive flame retardant has the defects of poor storage stability in a combined material, influence on the strength of a product, easy migration out of the product and the like; (5) the rigid polyether polyol for full water foaming in the prior art has a complex preparation process and higher cost, so that the market share is very low, and the rigid polyether polyol meets great resistance in the actual popularization and application process.

As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the foamed article prepared from the rigid foam flame-retardant polyether polyol for full-water foaming prepared in example 2 of the present invention has moderate density and low thermal conductivity, and has reduced compressive strength and good toughness due to the removal of the phenolic resin from the initiator.
As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the foamed article prepared from the rigid foam flame-retardant polyether polyol for full-water foaming prepared in example 3 of the present invention has moderate density, low thermal conductivity, high compressive strength, reduced bonding strength due to the absence of ethylene oxide in the polymeric epoxy compound, and good toughness.
As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the foamed products foamed by the hard foam flame-retardant polyether polyol for full water foaming prepared by the examples 1, 2 and 3 of the invention have improved oxygen index due to the introduction of the halohydrin into the initiator, which indicates that the foamed products foamed by the polyether polyol prepared by the invention have certain flame-retardant effect.
As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the foam product foamed by the hard foam flame-retardant polyether polyol for full water foaming prepared by the comparative example has moderate density and higher heat conductivity coefficient, and because the initiator does not contain phenolic resin and grease, the compressive strength of the product is reduced, and the toughness is poor; the bond strength is reduced due to the absence of ethylene oxide in the polymeric epoxy.
