A kind of halogen-free flameproof ternary ethlene propyene rubbercompound material and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to the fire retardant material technical field, be specifically related to halogen-free flameproof ternary ethlene propyene rubbercompound material and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Electric wire is widely used in life and the industrial every field, because it is in the importance of aspects such as energy transmission and information transmission, the fire-retardant and fire prevention of electric wire is the important research field that people pay close attention to always.Terpolymer EP rubber is at present at the bigger cable material raw material of China's usage quantity.But, similar to other hydrocarbon rubbers, it belongs to inflammable material, and oxygen index is lower, and heat release rate is higher, and living cigarette amount is bigger in combustion processes, and neat coal amout is very low.Therefore, terpolymer EP rubber is carried out fire-retardant being necessary.
Existing widely used halogen containing flame-retardant, generate when burn because of it cigarette is arranged in a large number, poisonous and have corrosive gas, can cause merely the corrosion of the Circuits System switch that can not cause and other metal objects to reach pollution to environment by fire institute; Easily human respiratory tract and other organs are caused damage, even can be because of the threat to life safety of suffocating.In recent years, the U.S., Britain, Norway and Australia formulate or enact a law, and some fire retardant material is carried out combustion toxicity test or regulation combustion acid gas release amount, and the exploitation halogen-free flame retardants replaces the trend that halogen containing flame-retardant has become world's flame retardant area.
Metal hydroxides (magnesium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide etc.) source is abundant, cheap, its as fire retardant be applied to fire retardant polyolefin have nontoxic, press down advantage such as cigarette, flame retarding efficiency is low but required addition is big, can have a strong impact on the mechanical property of material, thereby limit its range of application.
" macromolecular material and engineering " (Macromolecular materialsand engineering, 2001 of John Wei Li (John Wiley) company; 286:377) point out in magazine " aluminium hydroxide is filled the fire-retardant and mechanical property of the ternary ethlene propyene rubbercompound material " literary composition, when with carbon black and aluminium hydroxide when composite, can under less aluminium hydroxide addition, can reach vertical combustion test UL-94V0 level, keep good mechanics and ageing-resistant performance again.Mention among the Chinese patent application publication number CN 1903895A " a kind of preparation method of Halogen Free Flame Retardant EPDM ", with unsaturated acid and the composite limiting oxygen index(LOI) that can improve the mechanical property of material and improve material of metal hydroxides; But,, make it on using, be subjected to certain limitation because the price of carbon black and unsaturated acid is relative higher.
China has very abundant rare earth Mineral resources, and rare-earth oxide has been applied to fire-retardant aspect now.Therefore, if rare-earth oxide cheap and easy to get can be incorporated into metal hydroxides fire retardant material system, will have stronger practical significance.
