Chinese patent 201810057030.4 discloses a bromine-antimony flame-retardant polyethylene material, and the invention patent application discloses a flame-retardant low-density polyethylene flame retardant, which comprises the following basic steps: firstly dealkalizing red mud; roasting the dealkalized red mud at 400-800 ℃ and crushing the red mud to 300-500 meshes; modifying the roasted red mud by using a titanate coupling agent to obtain modified red mud; the modified red mud, decabromodiphenyl ethane, antimonous oxide and low-density polyethylene are melt blended, and the mass ratio of each component is as follows: the oxygen index of the low density polyethylene composite material prepared from the low density polyethylene, the modified red mud, the antimony trioxide and the decabromodiphenyl ethane is equal to or more than 30.0 percent, the vertical combustion grade is equal to or more than UL94V-0 grade, and the oxygen index of the low density polyethylene composite material prepared from the modified red mud, the antimony trioxide and the decabromodiphenyl ethane is equal to or more than 75-88 percent, the oxygen index of the low density polyethylene composite material prepared from the modified red mud and the decabromodiphenyl ethane is equal to or more than 1-4 percent, and the oxygen index of the low density polyethylene composite material prepared from the modified red mud is equal to or more than 2.75-5.25 percent.
The special component proportion of the patent enables the flame retardant effect of the polyethylene material to reach UL94V-0 level, is a good flame retardant polyethylene material, but is used for decoration in the room based on the simulation Christmas tree, and if the flame retardant polyethylene material prepared by the patent is used for injection molding of the simulation Christmas tree, the usage amount of substances such as red mud, antimony trioxide and the like has certain pollution, and does not accord with the harsher environmental protection protocol in European and American markets.
The addition of the flame retardant in the general flame-retardant polyethylene material accounts for 10-30%, so that the content of polluting impurities such as lead, arsenic and other elements in the flame-retardant polyethylene material exceeds the content specified by European and American market environmental protection protocols (the content of lead and arsenic is lower than 5 ppm), and the addition of the flame retardant also reduces the performances such as elongation at break, fluidity and the like of the flame-retardant polyethylene material; if the consumption of the flame retardant is reduced, the environment-friendly protocol can be regulated, the performance of the flame-retardant polyethylene can be effectively improved, but after the consumption of the flame retardant is reduced, the flame-retardant performance of the polyethylene material can be reduced, and particularly when the flame-retardant polyethylene material is used for producing indoor decorations such as simulated Christmas trees, the flame-retardant performance is an index of attention of European and American markets.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a flame retardant polyethylene material which has high flame retardant property and is environment-friendly and is used for injection molding of the simulated Christmas tree.

Advantageous effects
Compared with the prior art, the invention has at least the following advantages:
(1) According to the invention, by utilizing the characteristic that polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate can bring out tiny particles to be precipitated on the outer surface of an injection molding product during injection molding, the outer surface of an injection molded simulated Christmas tree is provided with magnesium hydroxide particles with the D90 less than or equal to 1.5 mu m, the magnesium hydroxide is precipitated on the outer surface of the injection molding product, and when the injection molding product burns, the magnesium hydroxide immediately plays the most superficial flame retardant role, so that the flame retardant property is improved;
the flame-retardant mechanism of the magnesium hydroxide is that the magnesium hydroxide is decomposed to absorb heat on the surface of a combustion object to realize flame-retardant effect when heated, and simultaneously releases a large amount of oxygen for diluting the surface of the combustion object, and the active magnesium oxide generated by decomposition is attached to the surface of the combustion object to further prevent the combustion; therefore, the particle distribution of magnesium hydroxide in the injection molding product has an influence on the flame retardant property, and magnesium hydroxide particles with small particle size are brought out by the antioxidant 1010 during precipitation, so that the magnesium hydroxide particles are distributed on the surface layer of the injection molding product, and the optimal flame retardant effect is achieved;
(2) According to the invention, polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate and other specific surfactants are compounded for use, so that the carried magnesium hydroxide particles are more uniformly distributed on the outer surface of an injection molding product, and the phenomenon that the polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate carries other substances to the outer surface of the injection molding product to influence the flame retardant property and mechanical property of the injection molding product is avoided;
(3) According to the invention, by utilizing the characteristic that a large dose of antioxidant 1010 is partially precipitated on the outer surface of an injection molding product during injection molding and the characteristic that tiny particle substances are precipitated on the outer surface of the injection molding product during injection molding by matching with polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate, the antioxidant 1010 and magnesium hydroxide with smaller particle size are preferentially precipitated during injection molding of the polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate, and the reduction of the synergistic flame retardant effect of bromine and antimony caused by the complete precipitation of sodium antimonate with larger particle size on the outer surface of the injection molding product is avoided; meanwhile, the dosage of the antioxidant 1010 is controlled in a proper range, so that the influence on the mechanical properties of the simulated Christmas tree caused by excessive antioxidant 1010 is avoided;
(4) According to the invention, sodium meta-antimonate with the particle size D90 of 2-5 mu m is adopted as a synergistic flame retardant component of the brominated flame retardant, on one hand, because the sodium meta-antimonate with the particle size D90 of less than 5 mu m has better dispersibility, the synergistic flame retardant effect is effectively improved; on the other hand, the particle size is required to be slightly larger than 1.5 mu m, so that partial polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate can be prevented from bringing sodium antimonate particles out of the outer surface of an injection molding product during injection molding, and the synergistic flame retardant effect of sodium antimonate and decabromodiphenylethane is reduced;
(5) According to the invention, a high flame retardant effect can be achieved by only adding a small amount of flame retardant, and the polyethylene material retains high physical properties, so that the injection-molded simulated Christmas tree retains enough toughness, and the market competitiveness is improved.

the performance test results are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1 results of Performance test of examples 1-7 and comparative examples 1-10
According to the results of example 6 and comparative example 1, the replacement of sodium metaantimonate with equal amount of antimony trioxide does not greatly affect the mechanical properties and flame retardant properties of the flame retardant polyethylene material, but the use of antimony trioxide as a synergistic flame retardant easily exceeds the environmental protection protocol of severe Europe and America because the sodium metaantimonate has lower cost and the lead content and the arsenic content in the antimony trioxide are both more than 500ppm, so that the European and America market simulating Christmas trees is hindered, and therefore, the technical scheme of the invention does not consider the use of antimony trioxide as the synergistic flame retardant in the bromine antimony trioxide flame retardant.
According to the results of example 6 and comparative example 2, it is known that the use of magnesium hydroxide having a particle diameter D90 of more than 1.5 μm causes that polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate cannot bring out magnesium hydroxide during the process of separating out the outer surface when injection molding into simulated christmas tree branches, resulting in a great reduction in the flame retardant effect of magnesium hydroxide, thereby reducing the flame retardant property of simulated christmas tree branches.
According to the results of the embodiment 6 and the comparative example 3, the invention can achieve the effect of cooperatively protecting the flame-retardant polyethylene material by adopting the antioxidant 1010 and the antioxidant 168, and maintain the mechanical property of the flame-retardant polyethylene material, and can also partially separate out the characteristic of the outer surface of the simulated Christmas tree branch through a large amount of the antioxidant 1010 to separate out the outer surface of the simulated Christmas tree branch along with the polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate, so as to jointly carry out magnesium hydroxide particles, and simultaneously effectively inhibit the accompanying separation of sodium antimonate with larger particle size as the preferable item accompanying the polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate to avoid the reduction of the flame-retardant effect caused by uneven dispersion of sodium antimonate.
As is clear from the results of example 6 and comparative example 4, the too large particle size of sodium meta-antimonate affects the dispersibility of sodium meta-antimonate particles and also affects the flame retardant property, and the flame retardant properties of the head and the root of the branch of the simulated Christmas tree are obviously different due to the uneven dispersion of sodium meta-antimonate particles.
According to the results of example 6 and comparative example 5, the precipitation of polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate and partial antioxidant 1010 in the injection molding process also brings sodium antimonate with D90 of 1 μm, so that the sodium antimonate and decabromodiphenylethane are unevenly distributed, the synergistic flame retardant effect is reduced, the flame retardant property of the flame retardant polyethylene material is reduced, and the flame retardant properties of the head and the root of the simulated Christmas tree branch are obviously different.
According to the results of example 6 and comparative example 6, although increasing the weight part of the bromine-antimony flame retardant can improve the flame retardant property, the mechanical property of the relative flame retardant polyethylene material is also greatly reduced, and important performance indexes such as toughness of injection molding products are affected, so that the market competitiveness of the manufactured simulated Christmas tree is reduced; meanwhile, compared with the technical scheme of the invention, the technical scheme of the comparative example 6 does not have magnesium hydroxide particles distributed on the outer surface of the branch of the simulated Christmas tree to effectively prevent flame, so that the self-extinguishing time after ignition is prolonged.
From the results of example 6 and comparative example 7, it is understood that the mere use of polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate as a surfactant resulted in the precipitation of a majority of polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate, antioxidant 1010 and magnesium hydroxide particles at the head of the branch of the simulated christmas tree with a smaller diameter during injection molding; the reason may be that during the injection molding process, the simulated Christmas pine branch is used for preferentially completing the injection molding of the head, and the middle part is injected finally, so that the head is cooled preferentially, and the surfactant can form a surface active layer at the head surface position more easily. The polyethylene glycol 600 distearate and the polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate are mixed, so that most of the polyethylene glycol 400 distearate, the antioxidant 1010 and the magnesium hydroxide particles are not separated out to the head of the simulated Christmas pine branch, but are separated out uniformly on the outer surface of the whole simulated Christmas pine branch, and the reason is probably that the polyethylene glycol 600 distearate delays the separation speed of the polyethylene glycol 400 distearate, so that the influence of the cooling path of the simulated Christmas pine branch on the separation of the polyethylene glycol 400 distearate is reduced, and finally the separation position of the polyethylene glycol 400 distearate is more uniform.
According to the results of example 6 and comparative example 8, the polyethylene glycol 600 distearate alone cannot be precipitated on the outer surface of the simulated Christmas tree branch during injection molding, so that the antioxidant 1010 and the magnesium hydroxide particles cannot be carried out, the flame retardant effect of the magnesium hydroxide particles is greatly reduced, and the flame retardant property of the simulated Christmas tree branch is reduced.
From the results of example 6 and comparative example 9, it is apparent that since a small dose of antioxidant 1010 is difficult to precipitate along with polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate to the outer surface of the simulated Christmas tree branch, a part of sodium meta-antimonate particles are taken out of the outer surface of the simulated Christmas tree branch by polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate as a sub-option, so that the distribution of the sodium meta-antimonate particles is uneven, the synergistic flame retardant effect of the bromine-antimony flame retardant is reduced, and the overall flame retardant performance of the simulated Christmas tree branch is affected.
From the results of example 6 and comparative example 10, it is understood that, although a large amount of antioxidant 1010 does not have a great influence on the precipitation effect of polyethylene glycol 400 dilaurate and magnesium hydroxide particles, the mechanical properties of the simulated Christmas tree branches are affected due to the excessive amount of antioxidant 1010.
In summary, the technical scheme of the invention adopts reasonable surfactant matching and antioxidant 1010 selection, so that the flame retardant effect of magnesium hydroxide and bromine-antimony flame retardant is maximized, the flame retardant property of the simulated Christmas tree is effectively enhanced, the consumption of the flame retardant is reduced, and the mechanical property of the simulated Christmas tree is effectively improved; in addition, the invention adopts reasonable dosages and proportions of the antioxidant 1010 and the antioxidant 168, so that the mechanical property of the simulated Christmas tree can be kept in a better range.
