Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to polyurethane composites, more particularly, to the use of size-graded fillers including a fine filler such as fly ash and a coarse filler in polyurethane composites.
- Polymeric composites that contain organic and/or inorganic filler materials have become desirable for a variety of uses because of their excellent mechanical properties and weathering stability.
- the superior properties of the polymeric composites are achieved through use of the polymer as the matrix material that acts as a glue with enhanced flexural properties or as a fibrous component providing reinforcement and improved tensile properties.
- the inorganic material imparts various properties of rigidity, toughness, hardness, optical appearance and interaction with electromagnetic radiation, density, and many other physical and chemical attributes.
- a proper blend of polymeric and inorganic materials provides for a composite with optimal properties at a desirably low cost.
- Polyurethane composites composed of a polyurethane binder and fly ash filler with glass fiber reinforcement have been shown to be very useful. Specific uses of such composites include applications as interior and exterior cladding on buildings.
- one challenge for highly-filled filler-polyurethane composites is that it is very difficult to improve the mechanical performance of such materials without incurring significant costs.
- Another challenge is that there exists a threshold for the total content of the fly ash filler and reinforcement materials that can be incorporated into the composites.
- raising the content of fly ash filler and/or reinforcement materials can greatly increase the viscosity of the polyurethane mixture and eventually make such systems difficult to process and manufacture into gross and net shapes.
- the compositions and methods described herein address these and other needs.
- the polyurethane composites can comprise (a) a polyurethane formed by the reaction of (i) one or more isocyanates selected from the group consisting of diisocyanates, polyisocyanates, and mixtures thereof, and (ii) one or more polyols; (b) fly ash comprising 50% or greater by weight, fly ash particles having a particle size of from 0.2 micron to 100 microns; and (c) a coarse filler material comprising 80% or greater by weight, filler particles having a particle size of from greater than 250 microns to 10 mm.
- the polyurethane can be present in an amount of from 15% to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the composite. In some examples, the polyurethane can be present in an amount of from 15% to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of the composite. In some embodiments, 50% or more of the one or more polyols can have a hydroxyl number of 250 mg KOH/g or greater. In some embodiments, 50% or more of the one or more polyols can include 75% or more primary hydroxyl groups based on the total number of hydroxyl groups in the polyol.
- the one or more polyols can comprise an aromatic polyester polyol, an aromatic polyether polyol, or a combination thereof.
- the coarse filler material can be present in the composite in an amount of from 1% to 40% (for example, 1 to 30%) by weight, based on the total weight of the composite.

- FIG. 1 shows the vibrated density of a blend of fly ash and coarse filler materials (blast sand from Keller Materials, TX and Geotex 30-50, a marble limestone/calcium carbonate filler supplied by Huber Engineered Materials, IL) with various percentages of the coarse filler in the blend.
- the blast sand has an equivalent particle size diameter range from 100 micrometer to 300 micrometer.
- the Geotex 30-50 has an equivalent particle size diameter range from 200 micrometer to 500 micrometer.
- Vibrated (compacted) density is measured by packing filler materials into a graduated cylinder held onto a table vibrated by a Syntron magnetic vibrator for several minutes until the filler materials no longer reduce in volume, then calculating the density.
- the addition of coarse filler materials increases the packing density and reduces the porosity in the composite system, thus requiring less polyurethane to fill the pores and allowing more polyurethane available to wet the particles.

The viscosity of the filler/polyol mixture was then determined.
- CARPOL® MX-425 Mannich base polyether polyol
- CARPOL® GP-725 alkylene oxide-capped glycerine
- FIG. 2 shows the viscosity of the filler-polyurethane system decreases significantly with addition of the filler material(s), even to almost one order of magnitude in some cases.
- the viscosity of a 75% fly ash/25% polyol blend has a viscosity of about 140,000 cP, while that of a 52.5% fly ash/22.5% blast sand/25% polyol has a viscosity of only about 30,000. Therefore, by utilization of a coarse filler material or a mixture of coarse filler materials, the workability of the starting mixture of a highly-filled polyurethane composite material can be dramatically improved, thus making the manufacturing process of such materials much easier.
- Polyurethane composites were prepared using blast sand, obtained from Keller Materials, TX, USA, or Poraver, obtained from North America Inc, Innisfil, Ontario.
- the Poraver materials are a family of lightweight expanded glass/clay materials.

- the physical properties of the resultant composites, including flexural strength and density were determined.
- Tables 1 and 2 describe the flexural strength and density of highly filled polyurethane composite materials with different levels of addition of blast sand and Poraver materials, respectively.
- a flexural strength of about 1400 psi was achieved with 20% by weight addition of blast sand at a density of 37.1 pcf, 4% by weight addition of Poraver 0.5-1 mm at a density of 37.2 pcf and 6% by weight addition of Poraver 0.2-0.5 mm at a density of 38 pcf, compared to about 1000 psi at similar density level for the control formulation ( FIG. 3 ).
- FA fly ash
- PUR polyurethane from polyol and methyl diisocyanate
- FG chopped fiber glass.
- the use of coarse filler materials in highly-filled polyurethane composite also improves the mechanical properties such as flexural strength while permitting a reduction in cost of the composite.
- the addition of the coarse filler material also improves the packing of filler particles in the filler-fiber-polyurethane system and makes the structure denser and stronger. Because the total porosity is reduced, less polyurethane is required to form an optimal structure for satisfactory performance and thus reduces the cost of the composite products without compromising the mechanical properties.
- the reduced porosity allows for a greater amount of the polyol and MDI mixture available to coat particles and form the struts of the composite.
- Polyurethane composites were prepared by mixing a polyol blend containing 30% by weight CARPOL® MX-425 (Mannich base polyether polyol), 19.7% by weight CARPOL® GP-725 (alkylene oxide-capped glycerine), 19.3% by weight CARPOL® GSP-355 (sucrose-based polyether polyol), 19% by weight TEROL® 352 (aromatic polyester polyol), and 10% by weight EDAP-800 (ethylene diamine, propylene oxide and ethylene oxide based polyether polyol) to produce a polyol mixture.
- CARPOL® MX-425 Mannich base polyether polyol
- CARPOL® GP-725 alkylene oxide-capped glycerine
- CARPOL® GSP-355 silica polyether polyol
- TEROL® 352 aromatic polyester polyol

- the polyol mixture was then mixed with 1% by weight of an amine catalyst (diethanolamine), and 2% by weight of a silicone surfactant (Tegostab B-8870) in an extruder. Fly ash, a coarse filler, and glass fibers (in the amounts disclosed in Table 3), were added and wetted with the liquid solution. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI; 104 index; 51.5 g) was then added to the extruder, and simultaneously stirring began.
- MDI Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate
- fly ash only (23 wt % polyurethane and 77 wt % of fillers and glass fiber) as provided in the first column of Table 3
- the mixtures were extruded into a belt molding system and allowed to cure.
- the physical properties of the composites, including flexural strength and density were determined.
- Table 3 lists the flexural strength and density of highly-filled polyurethane with various levels of glass fibers. It is shown that, the flexural strength of the composite with either blast sand or Poraver 0.5-1 mm increases to above 1500 psi when fiber glass contents increases, while that of the control formulation levels off at about 880 psi (See FIG. 4 ). The comparison of the control formulation without any coarse fillers and the formulations with secondary coarse fillers demonstrate the advantage of the improvement of the packing of the filler particles.
- the flexural strength of the inorganic-organic material with a composition of 73 wt % fly ash, 23% polyurethane and 4% fiber glass increases from about 800 psi at a density of 35 pcf to about 1250 psi at a density of 40 pcf and about 2000 psi at a density of 45 pcf.
- the mechanical performance can be enhanced by increasing the density, the cost can be higher if the composition of the filler-polyurethane is kept constant.
- improvements in the mechanical performance of highly-filled polyurethane composites can be obtained by increasing the polyurethane content in the material.
- the flexural strength only increases about 15% when the polyurethane content increases from 23% to 41%. There is improved handleability and extension with increases in the polyurethane component of the mixture.
- polyurethane is the most expensive ingredient in the composition, so the method of increasing polyurethane content is not an economical way to improve the mechanical performance of highly-filled polyurethane.
- the partial volumetric replacement of fly ash by a coarse filler material or a combination of coarse filler materials increased the packing density of the filler particles in highly-filled polyurethane system and reduce the viscosity of the material, leading to improvements in the workability and mechanical performance of the polyurethane composites.

Abstract
Polyurethane composites and methods of preparing polyurethane composites are described herein. The polyurethane composite can comprise (a) a polyurethane formed by the reaction of (i) one or more isocyanates selected from the group consisting of diisocyanates, polyisocyanates, and mixtures thereof, and (ii) one or more polyols; (b) fly ash comprising 50% or greater by weight, fly ash particles having a particle size of from 0.2 micron to 100 microns; and (c) a coarse filler material comprising 80% or greater by weight, filler particles having a particle size of from greater than 250 microns to 10 mm. The coarse filler material can be present in the composite in an amount of from 1% to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of the composite. The weight ratio of the fly ash to the coarse filler material can be from 9:1 to 200:1.
Description
- This disclosure relates generally to polyurethane composites, more particularly, to the use of size-graded fillers including a fine filler such as fly ash and a coarse filler in polyurethane composites.
- Polymeric composites that contain organic and/or inorganic filler materials have become desirable for a variety of uses because of their excellent mechanical properties and weathering stability. In general, the superior properties of the polymeric composites are achieved through use of the polymer as the matrix material that acts as a glue with enhanced flexural properties or as a fibrous component providing reinforcement and improved tensile properties. The inorganic material imparts various properties of rigidity, toughness, hardness, optical appearance and interaction with electromagnetic radiation, density, and many other physical and chemical attributes. A proper blend of polymeric and inorganic materials provides for a composite with optimal properties at a desirably low cost.
- Polyurethane composites composed of a polyurethane binder and fly ash filler with glass fiber reinforcement have been shown to be very useful. Specific uses of such composites include applications as interior and exterior cladding on buildings. However, one challenge for highly-filled filler-polyurethane composites is that it is very difficult to improve the mechanical performance of such materials without incurring significant costs. Another challenge is that there exists a threshold for the total content of the fly ash filler and reinforcement materials that can be incorporated into the composites. In particular, raising the content of fly ash filler and/or reinforcement materials can greatly increase the viscosity of the polyurethane mixture and eventually make such systems difficult to process and manufacture into gross and net shapes. There is a need to improve the properties of filled composites. The compositions and methods described herein address these and other needs.
- Polyurethane composites and methods of preparing polyurethane composites are described herein. The polyurethane composites can comprise (a) a polyurethane formed by the reaction of (i) one or more isocyanates selected from the group consisting of diisocyanates, polyisocyanates, and mixtures thereof, and (ii) one or more polyols; (b) fly ash comprising 50% or greater by weight, fly ash particles having a particle size of from 0.2 micron to 100 microns; and (c) a coarse filler material comprising 80% or greater by weight, filler particles having a particle size of from greater than 250 microns to 10 mm.

- In some embodiments, the polyurethane composites can comprise a plurality of glass fibers as the fiber material. Glass fibers can include fibrous glass such as E-glass, C-glass, S-glass, and AR-glass fibers. In some examples, fire resistant or retardant glass fibers can be included to impart fire resistance or retarding properties to the polyurethane composites. The glass fibers can be from 1 mm to 50 mm in average length. In some examples, the glass fibers are from 1.5 mm to 30 mm, from 2 mm to 30 mm, from 3 mm to 30 mm, or from 3 mm to 15 mm in average length. In some examples, the average length of the glass fibers in the polyurethane composites can be 1 mm or greater, 1.5 mm or greater, 2 mm or greater, 3 mm or greater, 4 mm or greater, 5 mm or greater, or 6 mm or greater. In some embodiments, the average length of the glass fibers can be 50 mm or less, 40 mm or less, 30 mm or less, 20 mm or less, 15 mm or less, 12 mm or less, or 10 mm or less.

For example, the average diameter of the glass fibers can be 1.5 μm to 30 μm, 3 μm to 20 μm, 4 μm to 18 μm, or 5 μm to 15 μm in average diameter. The glass fibers can be provided in a random orientation or can be axially oriented.
- In some embodiments, the fibers, coarse filler material, and/or the fly ash can be coated with a composition to modify their reactivity. For example, the fibers, coarse filler material, and/or the fly ash can be coated with a sizing agent. In some embodiments, the fibers, coarse filler material, and/or the fly ash can be coated with a composition for promoting adhesion. U.S. Pat. No. 5,064,876 to Hamada et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 5,082,738 to Swofford, for example, disclose compositions for promoting adhesion. In some embodiments, the fibers, coarse filler material, and/or the fly ash are surface coated with a composition comprising a silane compound such as aminosilane. U.S. Pat. No. 4,062,999 to Kondo et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 6,602,379 to Li et al. describe suitable aminosilane compounds for coating fibers. In some embodiments, the polyurethane composites can include a combination of coated and uncoated fibers, coarse filler material, and/or the fly ash. In some examples, the coarse filler material can be coated with an aminosilane.
- Additional components useful with the polyurethane composite can include foaming agents, blowing agents, surfactants, chain-extenders, crosslinkers, coupling agents, UV stabilizers, fire retardants, antimicrobials, anti-oxidants, and pigments. For example, the fibers, coarse filler material, and/or the fly ash can be coated with a surfactant, bonding agent, pigment, or combinations thereof. Though the use of such components is well known to those of skill in the art, some of these additional additives are further described herein.
- Chemical foaming agents include azodicarbonamides (e.g., Celogen manufactured by Lion Copolymer Geismar); and other materials that react at the reaction temperature to form gases such as carbon dioxide. Water is an exemplary foaming agent that reacts with isocyanate to yield carbon dioxide. The presence of water as an added component or in the filler also can result in the formation of polyurea bonds through the reaction of the water and isocyanate. In some embodiments, water may be present in the mixture used to produce the polyurethane composite in an amount of from greater than 0% to 5% by weight or less, based on the weight of the mixture. In some embodiments, water can be present in a range of 0.02% to 4%, 0.05% to 3%, 0.1% to 2%, or 0.2% to 1% by weight, based on the weight of the mixture. In some embodiments, the mixture used to produce the polyurethane composite includes less than 0.5% by weight water.
- Surfactants can be used as wetting agents and to assist in mixing and dispersing the materials in a composite. Surfactants can also stabilize and control the size of bubbles formed during the foaming event and the resultant cell structure. Surfactants can be used, for example, in amounts below about 0.5 wt % based on the total weight of the mixture. Examples of surfactants useful with the polyurethanes described herein include anionic, non-ionic and cationic surfactants. For example, silicone surfactants such as Tegostab B-8870, DC-197 and DC-193 (Air Products; Allentown, Pa.) can be used.
- Low molecular weight reactants such as chain-extenders and/or crosslinkers can be included in the composite described herein. These reactants help the polyurethane system to distribute and contain the fly ash, coarse filler material, and/or fibers within the composite. Chain-extenders are difunctional molecules, such as diols or diamines, that can polymerize to lengthen the urethane polymer chains. Examples of chain-extenders include ethylene glycol; 1,4-butanediol; ethylene diamine, 4,4′-methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) (MBOCA); diethyltoluene diamine (DETDA); and aromatic diamines such as Unilink 4200 (commercially available from UOP). Crosslinkers are tri- or greater functional molecules that can integrate into a polymer chain through two functionalities and provide one or more further functionalities (i.e., linkage sites) to crosslink to additional polymer chains. Examples of crosslinkers include glycerin, trimethylolpropane, sorbitol, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine. In some composites, a crosslinker or chain-extender may be used to replace at least a portion of the one or more polyol in the composite material. For example, the polyurethane can be formed by the reaction of an isocyanate, a polyol, and a crosslinker.
- Coupling agents and other surface treatments such as viscosity reducers, flow control agents, or dispersing agents can be added directly to the filler or fiber, or incorporated prior to, during, and/or after the mixing and reaction of the composite material. Coupling agents can allow higher filler loadings of the particulate filler such as fly ash and/or the coarse filler material and may be used in small quantities. For example, the composite material may comprise about 0.01 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a coupling agent. Examples of coupling agents useful with the composite materials described herein include Ken-React LICA 38 and KEN-React KR 55 (Kenrich Petrochemicals; Bayonne, N.J.). Examples of dispersing agents useful with the composite materials described herein include JEFFSPERSE X3202, JEFFSPERSE X3202RF, and JEFFSPERSE X3204 (Huntsman Polyurethanes; Geismar, La.).
- Ultraviolet light stabilizers, such as UV absorbers, can be added to the composite materials described herein. Examples of UV light stabilizers include hindered amine type stabilizers and opaque pigments like carbon black powder. Fire retardants can be included to increase the flame or fire resistance of the composite material. Antimicrobials can be used to limit the growth of mildew and other organisms on the surface of the composite. Antioxidants, such as phenolic antioxidants, can also be added. Antioxidants provide increased UV protection, as well as thermal oxidation protection.
- Pigments or dyes can optionally be added to the composite materials described herein. An example of a pigment is iron oxide, which can be added in amounts ranging from about 2 wt % to about 7 wt %, based on the total weight of the composite material.
- Methods of preparing the polyurethane composites are described herein. The polyurethane composites can be formed by the reaction of one or more isocyanate, selected from the group consisting of diisocyanates, polyisocyanates, and mixtures thereof, and one or more polyol, in the presence of a coarse filler material, fly ash, and optionally, a fiber material and/or a catalyst. In some embodiments, the polyurethane composite can be produced by mixing the one or more isocyanates, the one or more polyols, the coarse filler material, and the fly ash, in a mixing apparatus such as a high speed mixer or an extruder. In some embodiments, mixing can be conducted in an extruder. The materials can be added in any suitable order. For example, in some embodiments, the mixing stage of the method used to prepare the polyurethane composite can include: (1) mixing the polyol, coarse filler material, and fly ash; (2) mixing the isocyanate with the polyol, coarse filler material, and fly ash; and optionally (3) mixing the catalyst with the isocyanate, the polyol, the coarse filler material, and the fly ash. The optional fiber material can be added at the same time as the coarse filler material or fly ash, or can be added prior to, during, or after stage (2) or (3).
- The polyurethane composite mixture can be blended in any suitable manner to obtain a homogeneous or heterogeneous blend of the one or more isocyanate, one or more polyol, fly ash, coarse filler material, optional fiber, and optional catalyst. An ultrasonic device can be used for enhanced mixing and/or wetting of the various components of the composite. The ultrasonic device produces an ultrasound of a certain frequency that can be varied during the mixing and/or extrusion process. The ultrasonic device useful in the preparation of composite materials described herein can be attached to or adjacent to an extruder and/or mixer. For example, the ultrasonic device can be attached to a die or nozzle or to the port of an extruder or mixer. An ultrasonic device may provide de-aeration of undesired gas bubbles and better mixing for the other components, such as blowing agents, surfactants, and catalysts.
- The mixture can then be extruded into a mold cavity of a mold, the mold cavity formed by at least an interior mold surface. The mold can be a continuous forming system such as a belt molding system or can include individual batch molds. The belt molding system can include a mold cavity formed at least in part by opposing surfaces of two opposed belts. A molded article can then be formed followed by removal of the article from the mold.
- Incorporation of the coarse filler material into the filled polyurethane mixture (that is, the polyol, isocyanate, coarse filler material, and fly ash) can decrease the viscosity of the mixture. In some embodiments, it is desirable that the composite mixture has a viscosity below a particular threshold at the desired loadings so it can be effectively processed. In some embodiments, the coarse filler material can be present in the composite mixture in amounts to produce a workable viscosity of from 25 Pa·s to 250 Pa·s. For example, the coarse filler material in the composite mixture can be in amounts to produce a workable viscosity from 30 Pa·s to 250 Pa·s, 65 Pa·s to 250 Pa·s, or 80 Pa·s to 250 Pa·s. In some embodiments, the working viscosity can be less than 250 Pa·s, less than 225 Pa·s, less than 200 Pa·s, less than 175 Pa·s, less than 150 Pa·s, less than 140 Pa·s, less than 130 Pa·s, less than 120 Pa·s, or less than 110 Pa·s. The polyurethane mixture may be processed at an elevated temperature (e.g., 200-500° F.) to form a melt and to allow the mixture to have a workable viscosity. In some embodiments, the fly ash and/or the coarse filler material are heated before mixing with the polyurethane. The viscosity of the composite mixture can be measured using a Thermo Electron Corporation Haake Viscometer.
- In some embodiments, the composite mixture described herein can be foamed. The polyol and the isocyanate can be allowed to produce a foamed composite material after mixing the components according to the methods described herein. The composite materials can be formed while they are actively foaming or after they have foamed. For example, the material can be placed under the pressure of a mold cavity prior to or during the foaming of the composite material.
- Incorporation of the coarse filler material in the polyurethane composite can increase the flexural strength of a composite, compared to a composite without the coarse filler material. In some embodiments, the flexural strength of the polyurethane composites can be increased by at least 10%, for example, 15% or greater, 20% or greater, 25% or greater, 30% or greater, 35% or greater, 50% or greater, 75% or greater, or even 100% or greater, compared to a composite without coarse filler materials.
- The flexural strength of the polyurethane composites described herein can be 300 psi or greater. For example, the flexural strength of the polyurethane composites can be 500 psi or greater, 700 psi or greater, 900 psi or greater, 1000 psi or greater, 1100 psi or greater, 1200 psi or greater, 1300 psi or greater, 1400 psi or greater, 1500 psi or greater, or 1600 psi or greater. The flexural strength can be determined by the load required to fracture a rectangular prism loaded in the three point bend test as described in ASTM C1185-08 (2012).
- Incorporation of the coarse filler material in the polyurethane composite can increase the packing density of the fillers in the composite, compared to a composite without the coarse filler material. In some embodiments, the packing density of the fillers in the polyurethane composites can be increased by at least 0.5%, for example, 0.7% or greater, 1% or greater, 1.5% or greater, 2% or greater, 3% or greater, 5% or greater, or 8% or greater, compared to the packing density of fillers in a composite without coarse filler materials. The packing density of the fillers in the polyurethane composites described herein can be 1.1 g/ml or greater. For example, the packing density of the polyurethane composites can be 1.2 g/ml or greater, or 1.3 g/ml or greater. The packing density can be determined by packing the composite materials into a graduated cylinder held onto a table vibrated by a Syntron magnetic vibrator for several minutes until the material no longer reduces in volume, then calculating the density. The method is modified based on tapped density obtained using ASTM D7481-09.
- The granulometry of the coarse filler material and/or fly ash can be determined by a variety of techniques. For example, analysis of the particle size distribution of the fly ash or coarse filler material can be conducted using a Horiba LA-300 laser interferometer with isopropanol dispersion media. The multimodal distribution can be analyzed into its component parts by mathematical deconvolution using a computer program such as MATLAB® from Mathworks.
- The optimization of various properties, such as density and flexural strength, of the composite allows their use in building materials and other structural applications. For example, the polyurethane composites can be formed into shaped articles and used in building materials include siding materials, roofing materials such as roof coatings and roof tiles, architectural moldings, sheets, decking materials, synthetic lumber, sound barrier/insulation, thermal barriers, carpet backing, fencing materials, marine lumber, flexible or rigid foams such as automotive foams (e.g., for dashboard, seats or roofing), component coatings, and other shaped articles. Examples of shaped articles made using composite materials described herein include roof tile shingles, trim boards, building panels, scaffolding, cast molded products, doors, door parts, moldings, sills, stone, masonry, brick products, posts, signs, guard rails, retaining walls, park benches, tables, slats, corner arches, columns, wall boards, ceiling tiles, ceiling boards, soffits, and railroad ties. The polyurethane composites described herein further can be used as reinforcement of composite structural members including building materials such as doors, windows, furniture, and cabinets and for well and concrete repair. The polyurethane composites described herein also can be used to fill gaps, particularly to increase the strength of solid surface articles and/or structural components. The polyurethane composites can be flexible, semi-rigid or rigid foams. In some embodiments, the flexible foam is reversibly deformable (i.e. resilient) and can include open cells. An 8″×1″×1″ piece of a flexible foam can generally wrap around a 1″ diameter mandrel at room temperature without rupture or fracture. Flexible foams also generally have a density of less than 5 lb/ft3 (e.g. 1 to 5 lb/ft3). In some embodiments, the rigid foam is irreversibly deformable and can be highly crosslinked and/or can include closed cells. Rigid foams generally have a density of 5 lb/ft3 or greater.
- In some embodiments, the overall density of the polyurethane composites and/or the molded articles described herein can be 2 lb/ft3 or greater. For example, the overall density can be 5 lb/ft3 to 75 lb/ft3, 10 lb/ft3 to 70 lb/ft3, 15 lb/ft3 to 65 lb/ft3, 20 lb/ft3 to 60 lb/ft3, 25 lb/ft3 to 55 lb/ft3, or 10 lb/ft3 to 35 lb/ft3.
- The following examples are put forth so as to provide those of ordinary skill in the art with a complete disclosure and description of how the compounds, compositions, articles, devices and/or methods claimed herein are made and evaluated, and are intended to be purely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Unless indicated otherwise, parts are parts by weight, temperature is in ° C. or is at ambient temperature, and pressure is at or near atmospheric.
- The packing density of mixtures of fly ash and blast sand of Geotex filler was determined by fly ash and filler material (in amounts disclosed in
FIG. 1 ) into a graduated cylinder held onto a table vibrated by a Syntron magnetic vibrator for several minutes until the material no longer reduces in volume, then the density was calculated. - Results:
-
FIG. 1 shows the vibrated density of a blend of fly ash and coarse filler materials (blast sand from Keller Materials, TX and Geotex 30-50, a marble limestone/calcium carbonate filler supplied by Huber Engineered Materials, IL) with various percentages of the coarse filler in the blend. The blast sand has an equivalent particle size diameter range from 100 micrometer to 300 micrometer. The Geotex 30-50 has an equivalent particle size diameter range from 200 micrometer to 500 micrometer. Vibrated (compacted) density is measured by packing filler materials into a graduated cylinder held onto a table vibrated by a Syntron magnetic vibrator for several minutes until the filler materials no longer reduce in volume, then calculating the density. As demonstrated, the addition of coarse filler materials increases the packing density and reduces the porosity in the composite system, thus requiring less polyurethane to fill the pores and allowing more polyurethane available to wet the particles. - Method:
- Polyol compositions used to simulate highly filled polyurethane systems were prepared by mixing a polyol blend containing 30% by weight CARPOL® MX-425 (Mannich base polyether polyol), 19.7% by weight CARPOL® GP-725 (alkylene oxide-capped glycerine), 19.3% by weight CARPOL® GSP-355 (sucrose-based polyether polyol), 19% by weight TEROL® 352 (aromatic polyester polyol), and 10% by weight EDAP-800 (ethylene diamine, propylene oxide and ethylene oxide based polyether polyol) to produce a polyol mixture. Fly ash and blast sand or Geotex filler materials (in the amounts disclosed in
FIG. 2 ), were added and wetted with the liquid solution. The viscosity of the filler/polyol mixture was then determined. - Results:
-
FIG. 2 shows the viscosity of the filler-polyurethane system decreases significantly with addition of the filler material(s), even to almost one order of magnitude in some cases. For example, the viscosity of a 75% fly ash/25% polyol blend has a viscosity of about 140,000 cP, while that of a 52.5% fly ash/22.5% blast sand/25% polyol has a viscosity of only about 30,000. Therefore, by utilization of a coarse filler material or a mixture of coarse filler materials, the workability of the starting mixture of a highly-filled polyurethane composite material can be dramatically improved, thus making the manufacturing process of such materials much easier. - Methods:
- Polyurethane composites were prepared using blast sand, obtained from Keller Materials, TX, USA, or Poraver, obtained from North America Inc, Innisfil, Ontario. The Poraver materials are a family of lightweight expanded glass/clay materials. The composites were prepared by mixing a polyol blend containing 30% by weight CARPOL® MX-425 (Mannich base polyether polyol), 19.7% by weight CARPOL® GP-725 (alkylene oxide-capped glycerine), 19.3% by weight CARPOL® GSP-355 (sucrose-based polyether polyol), 19% by weight TEROL® 352 (aromatic polyester polyol), and 10% by weight EDAP-800 (ethylene diamine, propylene oxide and ethylene oxide based polyether polyol) to produce a polyol mixture. The polyol mixture was then mixed with 1% by weight of an amine catalyst (diethanolamine), and 2% by weight of a silicone surfactant (Tegostab B-8870) in an extruder. Fly ash, glass fiber, and blast sand or Poraver were added and wetted with the liquid solution. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI; 104 index; 51.5 g) was then added to the extruder, and simultaneously stirring began. The mixture was extruded into a belt molding system and allowed to cure. The resultant composites included 23 parts by weight polyurethane, 70 parts by weight fly ash, 7 parts by weight glass fiber, and the weight percentage of blast sand or Poraver provided in Tables 1 and 2. The physical properties of the resultant composites, including flexural strength and density were determined.

- Tables 1 and 2 describe the flexural strength and density of highly filled polyurethane composite materials with different levels of addition of blast sand and Poraver materials, respectively. A flexural strength of about 1400 psi was achieved with 20% by weight addition of blast sand at a density of 37.1 pcf, 4% by weight addition of Poraver 0.5-1 mm at a density of 37.2 pcf and 6% by weight addition of Poraver 0.2-0.5 mm at a density of 38 pcf, compared to about 1000 psi at similar density level for the control formulation (
FIG. 3 ). InFIG. 3 , FA is fly ash; PUR is polyurethane from polyol and methyl diisocyanate; and FG is chopped fiber glass. - Summary:
- In addition to the advantage in processing of the starting mixture of the final composite, the use of coarse filler materials in highly-filled polyurethane composite also improves the mechanical properties such as flexural strength while permitting a reduction in cost of the composite. The addition of the coarse filler material also improves the packing of filler particles in the filler-fiber-polyurethane system and makes the structure denser and stronger. Because the total porosity is reduced, less polyurethane is required to form an optimal structure for satisfactory performance and thus reduces the cost of the composite products without compromising the mechanical properties. The reduced porosity allows for a greater amount of the polyol and MDI mixture available to coat particles and form the struts of the composite.
- Effect of Glass Fibers on Blast Sand or Poraver Filled Polyurethane Composite
- Methods:
- Polyurethane composites were prepared by mixing a polyol blend containing 30% by weight CARPOL® MX-425 (Mannich base polyether polyol), 19.7% by weight CARPOL® GP-725 (alkylene oxide-capped glycerine), 19.3% by weight CARPOL® GSP-355 (sucrose-based polyether polyol), 19% by weight TEROL® 352 (aromatic polyester polyol), and 10% by weight EDAP-800 (ethylene diamine, propylene oxide and ethylene oxide based polyether polyol) to produce a polyol mixture. The polyol mixture was then mixed with 1% by weight of an amine catalyst (diethanolamine), and 2% by weight of a silicone surfactant (Tegostab B-8870) in an extruder. Fly ash, a coarse filler, and glass fibers (in the amounts disclosed in Table 3), were added and wetted with the liquid solution. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI; 104 index; 51.5 g) was then added to the extruder, and simultaneously stirring began. The following mixtures were prepared: (1) fly ash only (23 wt % polyurethane and 77 wt % of fillers and glass fiber) as provided in the first column of Table 3; (2) a blend of fly ash and blast sand with a weight ratio of 5:1 (20 wt % polyurethane and 80 wt % of fillers and glass fiber) as provided in the second column of Table 3; and (3) a blend of fly ash and Poraver 0.5-1 mm with a weight ratio of 25:1 (22.4% polyurethane and 77.6% wt % of fillers and glass fiber) as provided in the third column of Table 3.
- The mixtures were extruded into a belt molding system and allowed to cure. The physical properties of the composites, including flexural strength and density were determined.

- Table 3 lists the flexural strength and density of highly-filled polyurethane with various levels of glass fibers. It is shown that, the flexural strength of the composite with either blast sand or Poraver 0.5-1 mm increases to above 1500 psi when fiber glass contents increases, while that of the control formulation levels off at about 880 psi (See
FIG. 4 ). The comparison of the control formulation without any coarse fillers and the formulations with secondary coarse fillers demonstrate the advantage of the improvement of the packing of the filler particles. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the flexural strength of the inorganic-organic material with a composition of 73 wt % fly ash, 23% polyurethane and 4% fiber glass increases from about 800 psi at a density of 35 pcf to about 1250 psi at a density of 40 pcf and about 2000 psi at a density of 45 pcf. Although the mechanical performance can be enhanced by increasing the density, the cost can be higher if the composition of the filler-polyurethane is kept constant. Similarly, improvements in the mechanical performance of highly-filled polyurethane composites can be obtained by increasing the polyurethane content in the material. However, there is only a limited enhancement in flexural strength with this method. As shown in Table 4, the flexural strength only increases about 15% when the polyurethane content increases from 23% to 41%. There is improved handleability and extension with increases in the polyurethane component of the mixture. However, polyurethane is the most expensive ingredient in the composition, so the method of increasing polyurethane content is not an economical way to improve the mechanical performance of highly-filled polyurethane. -

- The partial volumetric replacement of fly ash by a coarse filler material or a combination of coarse filler materials increased the packing density of the filler particles in highly-filled polyurethane system and reduce the viscosity of the material, leading to improvements in the workability and mechanical performance of the polyurethane composites.
