Technical Field
The invention relates to a high polymer material and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an environment-friendly flame-retardant PVC/NBR foam material.
Background
The solubility parameters and polarities of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the nitrile rubber (NBR) are similar, the compatibility of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the nitrile rubber (NBR) is good, the blend of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the nitrile rubber (NBR) is used as a matrix of the foaming material, so that the foaming product has the elasticity of the rubber foaming product and the good stiffness and the small shrinkage rate of the plastic foaming product, and the PVC has good flame retardance and weather resistance and can improve the defects of flammability and poor weather resistance of the NBR. The PVC/NBR blended material has excellent comprehensive performance. PVC/NBR foam materials have been widely used in air conditioning heat insulation pipes, sporting goods, life saving goods, vibration damping, heat insulation, sound insulation, and other applications.
At present, the PVC/NBR foaming material is mainly produced by adopting DOP or chlorinated paraffin as a plasticizer and calcium carbonate as filling.

Therefore, the PVC/NBR foam material can not meet the requirements of engineering fire-proof application in specific occasions.
