Low-smoke halide-free fireproof composite polyolefine material and its production and application
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of low-smoke halide-free fireproof composite polyolefine material and its production and application.
Background technology
What European Union in 2002 worked out is " the electronic waste facture " of content with two instructions, one of them instruction for " about in electronic and electrical equipment, banning use of some objectionable impurities instruction " (ROHS).The ROHS command request, the Electrical and Electronic product that on July 1st, 2006 was thrown in European Union market later on must not contain 6 kinds of objectionable impuritiess such as lead, mercury, cadmium, sexavalent chrome, Polybrominated biphenyl and Poly Brominated Diphenyl Ethers.2004 beginning of the years, the Ministry of Information industry is according to relevant rules such as " promotion law on cleaner production ", " prevention and control of environmental pollution by solid wastes methods ", work out " electronics and IT products prevention and cure of pollution management method " (being called for short " way "), " way " regulation, on July 1st, 2006 must not be contained 6 kinds of objectionable impuritiess such as lead, mercury, cadmium, sexavalent chrome, Polybrominated biphenyl and Poly Brominated Diphenyl Ethers in the electronics and IT products, stipulated that simultaneously the electric equipment products that enters China must not contain above 6 kinds of objectionable impuritiess.Therefore development is present focus both domestic and external with the low-smoke halide-free fireproof composite polyolefine material that exploitation does not contain 6 kinds of objectionable impuritiess stipulating in the instruction.
The low-smoke halide-free fireproof composite polyolefine material of present domestic development adopts the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA-g-MAH) of commercially available or fusion-grafting maleic anhydride as compatilizer mostly, this compatilizer percentage of grafting low (≤1%), the graft materials prescription is complicated, the difficult control of graft reaction and quality in the production process, byproduct is many, the materials purification complexity (Yin Jun etc. the grafting modification of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Chinese plastics, 2001,15 (5): 23-29).Addition is big in the halogen-free low-smoke flame retardant material prescription, the comprehensive cost height.For example the patent No. is 03116976.7 the disclosed a kind of low-smoke halide-free fireproof composite polyolefine material that is used to prepare cable of Chinese patent, and application number is 02111063.8 the disclosed a kind of low smoke halogen-free fire retardant polyolefin cable material of Chinese patent application.
On the other hand, because heat-shrinkable tube is almost blank pipe test during the performance test of VW-1 vertical combustion in carrying out the UL224 standard, and be that metallic conductor coats non-halogen flame-retardant cable outward during the performance test of electric wire vertical combustion, so the heat-shrinkable tube flame retardant properties requires than high many of electric wire flame retardant properties.In other words, will be for the fire-retardant performance requriements that waits of the polyolefine material that is used to prepare heat-shrinkable tube far above the polyolefine material that is used to prepare electric wire.For making the polyolefine collapsible tube by VW-1 vertical combustion performance test in the UL224 standard, existing low-smoke halide-free fireproof composite polyolefine material adopts the inorganic phosphorus of flame retardant effect excellence usually---and red phosphorus (MRP) is as main fire retardant (being disclosed a kind of radiation-crosslinked low smoke no halide flame retaining low temperature shrinkage polyolefine material contracting with heat that is suitable for preparing collapsible tube in 00115353.6 the Chinese patent as the applicant's the patent No.), yet this fire retardant amount of being fuming is big, reach low cigarette and must add a large amount of smoke suppressors, and can only produce black and red two kinds of bittern-free flame-proof materials, limited the use range of material.The same with electric wire, for ease of distinguishing and identification, the collapsible tube of different occasions and purposes needs different colours to come mark.Yet in the market still by VW-1 vertical combustion performance test in the UL224 standard, except the low smoke halogen-free flame-retardant polyolefin collapsible tube of black and red other color.Trace it to its cause and to be: if do not use coloured flame-retardant agent red phosphorus, the white fire retardant effect that has other now is well below red phosphorus (MRP), so for reaching above-mentioned flame-retardant standard, then need add a large amount of white fire retardants, yet existing EVA-g-MAH as compatilizer, its performance fails to make polyolefin substrate and fire retardant fully compatible, and the various performances of the polyolefine material that makes are more impossible to meet above-mentioned standard.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention promptly addresses the above problem, and provides a kind of performance better low-smoke halogen-free polyolefin material.
For addressing the above problem, the present invention is mainly by preparing new EVA-g-MAH as compatilizer, the percentage of grafting height of this EVA-g-MAH, controlled, and side reaction such as crosslinked is little, can improve the consistency between base material and the fire retardant thus greatly, thereby improves the performance of polyolefine material.
Low-smoke halide-free fireproof composite polyolefine material of the present invention, it comprises the polyolefin substrate that contains ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) at least, halogen-free flame retardants, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and additive as the grafted maleic anhydride of compatilizer, it is characterized in that this ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as the grafted maleic anhydride of compatilizer is the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of radiation grafting maleic anhydride, it can be made by following method: 1~5 part maleic anhydride is dissolved in the acetone, after 100 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers mix, Deng acetone volatilization back granulation in twin screw extruder, carry out radiation at rumbatron electron rays or gamma-rays again, radiation dose is 5~30KGy.
In fact, low-smoke halogen-free polyolefin material of the present invention is except replacing above-mentioned compatilizer the compatilizer in the existing polyolefine material, and all the other components can same prior art, as disclosed product in the above-mentioned document.
Wherein, said polyolefin substrate can be any existing polyolefin substrate that contains EVA at least, as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, or one or more blended mixtures in ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and other polyolefine, for example polyethylene, terpolymer EP rubber and the ethylene-octene copolymer (POE); Melting index MI=2~the 6g/min of preferred ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), wherein vinyl acetate content=14~40%.
And halogen-free flame retardants can be organophosphorus, as ammonium polyphosphate (APP), organophosphorus-nitrogen series, as trimeric cyanamide, and organic fire-retardant such as tetramethylolmethane; Also can be inorganic combustion inhibitor, as borates such as metal hydroxidess such as aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and zinc borates; Be generally the increase flame retardant effect, and reduce untoward reaction and select above-mentioned more than one compound flame retardant for use.
Certainly, the present invention also can select additive commonly used in the polyolefine material for use, as oxidation inhibitor, lubricant, crosslinking coagent and Halogen Masterbatch etc.
Source of radiation of the present invention is rumbatron electron rays or gamma-rays, and preferred radiation dose is 15~25KGy.
The radiation graft process for preparing compatilizer EVA-g-MAH of the present invention is the solid phase method for radio-grafting that the present invention initiates, be convenient to suitability for industrialized production, it is processed in forcing machine just grafted monomer and mixed with polymers, do not produce graft reaction, so prescription is simple, complete processing is also simple, percentage of grafting factor affecting of raying source dosage (radiation dose is more accurate unit).Therefore the percentage of grafting of the EVA-g-MAH that makes is controlled, side reaction is little (used radiation dose can not cause side reactions such as crosslinked usually because of the present invention), its percentage of grafting higher (〉=1%).Certainly, select for use low dose of maleic anhydride and little radiation dose also can prepare percentage of grafting less than 1% product, but compare with the existing identical EVA-g-MAH of percentage of grafting, its side reaction is little, so graft product purity height.The percentage of grafting of the above-mentioned EVA-g-MAH that the present invention selects for use generally between 0.4~2%, preferably 1~1.5%.
