Description

  The present invention relates to a polyol composition for rigid polyurethane foam using water as a foaming agent, and a method for producing a rigid polyurethane foam using the polyol composition. In particular, the polyol composition of the present invention is suitably used as a raw material for a spray foam type rigid polyurethane foam using a spray device.

  Rigid polyurethane foam is a well-known material as a heat insulating material, a lightweight structural material, and the like. Such a rigid polyurethane foam is formed by mixing a polyol composition containing a polyol compound and a foaming agent as essential components and a polyisocyanate component, and foaming and curing. In the past, chlorofluorocarbon compounds such as CFC-11 were used as foaming agents, but they were prohibited because CFC compounds caused destruction of the ozone layer, and switched to HCFC-141b. Although switching to an HFC compound having a coefficient of zero has been performed, the HFC compound has a problem that it has a large GWP (global warming potential) and is currently expensive.

  Although a technique using pentane such as n-pentane, iso-pentane, cyclopentane or the like as a low-cost blowing agent instead of halogenated hydrocarbon compounds such as HFC compounds is known, pentanes are highly flammable. In addition, there is a problem that a large amount of cost is required for the equipment for fire prevention.

  There is no problem in both the work environment and the global environment, and water is known as a low-cost foaming agent. Hard polyurethane foams using water as a foaming agent are known, but the polyester polyol as a raw material is a foaming agent. Reacts with water to cause hydrolysis, resulting in reaction delay. In addition, since carbon dioxide is used as the foaming gas, the diffusion of the carbon dioxide gas is fast, and the foam after foaming is in a reduced pressure state, which causes a problem of shrinkage of the foam. As a technique for solving such a problem, a technique (Patent Document 1) that limits the cream time of a rigid polyurethane foam foam concentrate solution and the closed cell ratio of the obtained rigid polyurethane foam is known.

  Further, a rigid urethane foam using water and an HFC compound in combination as a foaming agent is disclosed (Patent Documents 2 and 3).

  However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 uses a polyether polyol compound having piperazine or aminoalkylpiperazine as an initiator as a raw material, and does not have sufficient combustion resistance. It is conceivable to use aromatic ester-based polyols for improving the combustion resistance. However, when a known ester polyol of ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol and phthalic acid is used, hydrolysis occurs due to the presence of water as a blowing agent, and the resulting acid However, the formation of a rigid polyurethane foam by the spray method becomes difficult with the passage of storage time of the polyol composition due to the formation of a salt with the catalyst amine.

  In addition, with respect to the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3, as described above, the HFC compound is expensive, and the reactivity can be adjusted mildly as compared with the conventional formulation using HCFC-141b. It is difficult, and there is a problem in that workability is poor, for example, in a refrigerated warehouse where thick spraying of rigid polyurethane foam is required by the spray method, such as being unable to blow smoothly.

On the other hand, flame retardance is mentioned as a characteristic requested | required of a rigid polyurethane foam. Conventionally, flame retardants have been used to increase the flame retardancy of rigid polyurethane foams, but it is difficult to obtain sufficient flame retardancy only by using flame retardants.
In Patent Documents 4 to 8, in order to obtain good flame retardancy or to increase the storage stability of the polyol premix by blending flame retardant, use triisobutyl phosphate as a flame retardant, immediately after blending the blended liquid It has been proposed to adjust the pH of the catalyst to 9 or less and to use a bismuth compound or a formic acid block catalyst as a catalyst.

  Further, the low-density water-foamed rigid polyurethane foam has a problem that the dimensional change is large and the strength is insufficient.

  Patent Document 9 describes that an ester polyol obtained from a specific polyoxyethylene glycol and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid is used as a polyol compound for the purpose of producing a rigid polyurethane foam having excellent combustion resistance. .

  Patent Document 10 includes an ester polyol obtained from a specific polyoxyethylene glycol and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and resin fine particles for the purpose of producing a rigid polyurethane foam that is small in shrinkage with time and excellent in combustion resistance. The use of polyether polyols is described.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-40054 JP 2004-51693 A JP 2004-59900 A JP 2005-307143 A JP 2005-307144 A JP 2005-307145 A JP 2005-307146 A JP 2005-307147 A JP 2008-138042 A JP 2008-138137 A

  An object of this invention is to provide the polyol composition for rigid polyurethane foams in order to obtain the rigid polyurethane foam excellent in dimensional stability in view of the problem of the said well-known technique. Moreover, it aims at providing the manufacturing method of the rigid polyurethane foam which uses this polyol composition.

The present invention is a polyol composition comprising a polyol compound, water as a foaming agent, a foam stabilizer and a catalyst, mixed with a polyisocyanate component by a urethane foaming device and reacted to form a rigid polyurethane foam,
The polyol compound includes 30 to 100% by weight of resin polyol-containing polyether polyol,
The foam stabilizer is a silicone foam stabilizer including a graft copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane and polyethylene glycol. The graft copolymer has a number average molecular weight of 1250 to 1350 and a polydimethylsiloxane content of 25 to 35. A polyol composition for rigid polyurethane foam, characterized in that it has a hydroxyl group at the terminal of the grafted polyethylene glycol and the silicone foam stabilizer is contained in the polyol composition in an amount of 0.8% by weight or less. Things.

  The polyol composition having the above structure can form a rigid polyurethane foam having excellent dimensional stability using water as a foaming agent.

  When the content of the resin fine particle-containing polyether polyol in the polyol compound is less than 30% by weight, a rigid polyurethane foam excellent in dimensional stability cannot be obtained.

  The foam stabilizer is a silicone foam stabilizer containing a graft copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane and polyethylene glycol, the graft copolymer having a number average molecular weight of 1250 to 1350 and a polydimethylsiloxane content of 25 to 25. 35% by weight and a grafted polyethylene glycol having a hydroxyl group at the terminal is used. By using the silicone foam stabilizer, the dimensional stability of the rigid polyurethane foam is further improved. The silicone foam stabilizer needs to be blended in an amount of 0.8% by weight or less in the polyol composition. When the blending amount of the silicone foam stabilizer is 0.8% by weight or less, it becomes easy to form pseudo-cells, so that the dimensional stability of the rigid polyurethane foam is improved.

  The resin fine particle-containing polyether polyol is preferably a resin fine particle-containing Mannich polyether polyol. By using the polyol, it is possible to obtain a rigid polyurethane foam having very excellent dimensional stability.

  As the catalyst, it is preferable to use a trimerization catalyst (a catalyst that promotes isocyanurate bond formation). In particular, a quaternary ammonium salt is preferably used as the trimerization catalyst. By using a quaternary ammonium salt, the dimensional stability of the rigid polyurethane foam is further improved.

  The reason why the dimensional stability of the foam is improved by the above composition is not clear, but the use of the resin polyol-containing polyether polyol or the quaternary ammonium salt causes volume expansion in the later stage of the reaction, thereby expanding the cell membrane. It is presumed that very fine pores are formed in the polyurethane bubbles forming the foam, and the shrinkage due to the pressure drop in the bubbles is prevented by the diffusion of carbon dioxide in the bubbles.

  Moreover, this invention relates to the manufacturing method of the rigid polyurethane foam which mixes the said polyol composition and a polyisocyanate component with a urethane foaming apparatus, and is made to react and obtains a rigid polyurethane foam.

  As a foaming method of the rigid polyurethane foam, a foaming method known in the technical field of polyurethane can be used without limitation. For example, a continuous production method, a discontinuous production method, a spray method, an injection method, or the like can be used. In particular, the spray method is a method in which a two-component undiluted solution is mixed and sprayed onto a construction object with a spray device, and when reaching the object, it is foamed and cured, and is an effective method because construction is easy. In addition, the continuous production method is a method in which a mixed stock solution is flowed on the lower surface material on the continuous conveyor, and the upper surface material is supplied and continuously foamed, and a sandwich panel can be produced by cutting to a predetermined length. it can.

Specifically, use of alkylene diamine having 2 to 8 carbon atoms such as ethylene diamine, propylene diamine, butylene diamine, hexamethylene diamine, and neopentyl diamine is preferable. Among these, the use of alkylenediamine having a small number of carbon atoms is more preferable, and the use of a polyol compound having ethylenediamine or propylenediamine as an initiator is particularly preferable. In the alkylene diamine-based polyol, the alkylene diamine as the initiator may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
