(2) background technology
Wood plastic composite (Wood-Plastic Composites, be called for short WPC) be to be main raw material with plant fiber powder and plastics, add a small amount of coupling agent and other additive again, adopt high temperature to extrude a kind of outward appearance of (or injection moulding, compacting etc.) method of forming preparation and the advanced composite material that performance classes is similar to natural timber, its product mainly is used as the substitute of natural timber.
The used plant fiber powder of preparation wood plastic composite is mainly agriculture and forestry organic waste material, as wood powder, bamboo powder, chaff powder, agricultural crop straw powder etc.; Used plastics are mainly waste and old thermoplastics, as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) etc.The exploitation wood plastic composite helps agriculture and forestry organic waste material and comprehensive utilization of waste plastics and curbs environmental pollution; help alleviating the pressure that is becoming tight timber day and reduce Deforestation, this is for current environment protection and build a conservation-minded society and have great importance.Therefore, in recent years, the industrialization of wood plastic composite and application and development have obtained extensive attention and fast development.
An extremely important application of wood plastic composite is that the substitute as timber is widely used as outdoor building materials and outdoor decoration material, as outdoor flooring, fence, balcony, wayside pavilion, trestle, passage waterborne, open-air chair, motorway soundproof wall, floor, seashore, flower case, garden landscape etc.The water-intake rate of these wood plastic composites must be very low, if water-intake rate is higher, produce a series of problems out of doors in the environment: as the back rotten performance of anti-fungi that absorbs water reduces, wood powder in the material is easily mouldy, rotten, the freeze-thawing resistant bad stability, suction back physical strength significantly descends, or the like.
Some early stage researchs are thought, because the vegetable fibre in the wood plastic composite is by plastic overmold, the water-intake rate of wood plastic composite quite low (as<1%), therefore, early stage people declared once that wood plastic composite did not absorb water, not mouldy, without putrefaction, and the result does not cause enough attention to the water-intake rate that how to reduce wood plastic composite.But, after wood plastic composite has passed through a large amount of practical applications in recent years, it is found that: during using out of doors, general wood plastic composite has more mouldy, rotten, suction back intensity reduction, even the suction strain cracking etc.
This is that this moment, the wood plastic composite suction did not reach capacity because the wood plastic composite water-intake rate data of early stage report are to measure down in the short time (as 24h) of absorbent time.Recent research (comprising the research of present inventor to domestic and international various wood plastic composite water-intake rates) shows, the rate of water absorption of wood plastic composite is far below timber, particularly the moisture content of its absorption is very slow to the speed of material internal migration, but its saturated water absorption is in fact not low, and is especially true when the vegetable fibre powder content is higher.If will immerse (as more than two months) in the water for a long time after the polishing of wood plastic composite slice surfaces, total water-intake rate of common wood-plastic composite can reach about 10%, the result cause the surface of wood plastic composite easily mouldy, rot, freeze molten destruction, intensity reduces to making, shorten or the like work-ing life.
Therefore, the water-intake rate that reduces existing wood plastic composite is a very important technical problem, should cause enough attention.Produce the general method of going up reduction wood plastic composite water-intake rate at present and mainly contain two kinds: a kind of method is to reduce the content of plant fiber powder, and another kind of method is to add coupling agent (or compatilizer).But, reduce vegetable fibre content and can increase cost, and make the outward appearance woodiness touch variation of wood plastic composite; Not only can increase cost and add coupling agent, and it is quite limited to reduce water-intake rate.The result makes the vegetable fibre powder content of existing wood plastic composite not high (<60%), and the actual saturated water absorption of wood-plastic products is higher, and (the 24h water-intake rate is not high, but after absorbent time is long, water-intake rate is just bigger), this may be that current wood plastic composite uses easily mouldy, septic major reason after the long period out of doors.
(3) summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to adopt new method significantly to reduce the water-intake rate of existing wood plastic composite product, a kind of polyolefin wood-plastic composite of low water absorption is provided, particularly provide a kind of fibres content higher, the very low polyolefin wood-plastic composite of water-intake rate simultaneously, make that its use properties out of doors is better, the life-span is longer.
