Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a phenolic resin form, and more particularly, to a phenol resin foam, which is used as a foaming agent.
The present invention relates to a process for producing a phenolic resin foam having excellent uniformity in filling, compressive strength and heat insulation, and having a very uniform and fine cell structure using dioxolan. 2. Description of the Related Art Generally, phenol resin foams are used as foaming agents for trichlorofluoromethane (commonly known as CFC-11) and trichlorotrifluoroethane (commonly known as Freon 113) which are extremely excellent in heat insulating properties and flame retardancy. ) Is used,
The phenolic resin foam obtained thereby has high heat resistance, and is excellent in fire resistance, smoke resistance, and heat insulation. Therefore, its development is being promoted for various heat insulation materials including building materials. Also, phenolic resin foams are similar to polyurethane resin foams in terms of price, thermal stability, fire resistance, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, smoke generation, electrical properties and compatibility with in-situ foaming. It would be advantageous to produce phenolic resin forms that are more advantageous than other foamed resins and for various applications. However, despite the many performance advantages and economic benefits, phenolic resin foam has not penetrated the insulating market. This is because today's phenolic resin forms have broken cell walls and central cracks and / or voids in the foam mass and are susceptible to cavitation caused by blowholes or channels. This is a result of the problem with the phenolic resin form. [0003] Recently, chlorofluorocarbons have been regulated to protect the earth's ozone layer. This regulation covers CFC-11 and CFC-1 which have been used as foaming agents for phenol resin foams.
13 is also included. Therefore CFC-11, CFC-1
The development of a foaming agent for phenol resin foam replacing 13 is obligatory. Currently, hydrocarbon compounds such as cyclopentane have been proposed as halogen-free blowing agents replacing CFC-11 and -113. However, these compounds have extremely low flash points and poor compatibility with existing phenolic resins, so that phenolic resin foams are used.
In order to obtain such a system, it is necessary to devise equipment and the like, and it is difficult to obtain a uniform cell structure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have made intensive efforts to overcome the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, have found that 1,3-dioxolan is used as a foaming agent for phenol resin foam. The present invention has been found to produce a phenolic foam having excellent form filling, compressive strength and heat insulating properties, and having a uniform and fine cell structure with almost no cracks or voids. . Therefore, the resole type phenol resin used in the present invention is generally obtained by reacting phenol with an excess of formaldehyde in an alkaline manner. The phenol-formaldehyde molar ratio of
1-1: 2.0, preferably 1: 1.3-1:
1.6. Usually, the cured products of these phenolic resins are hard and brittle, but in order to remedy this drawback, for example, grafting the phenolic resin with a polymer having high viscoelasticity, A phenol resin modified with a polyol di- or triglycidyl ether compound or the like can also be used. 1,3- as foaming agent
Dioxolane is used in an appropriate amount, preferably 5 to 20%.
It is. The acidic catalyst used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and organic sulfonic acids such as paratoluenesulfonic acid, phenolsulfonic acid, xylenesulfonic acid, resolesulfonic acid, metaxylenesulfonic acid, and benzenesulfonic acid. , Phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, carboxylic acid and the like are used. The amount used is not particularly limited, but is normally 10 to 20%. The foam stabilizer is a conventionally known organosilicon compound, and its use amount is not particularly limited, but 0.1 to 10% is suitable. Other surfactants, auxiliaries, stabilizers, coloring agents, and the like can be added as necessary. EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the examples. EXAMPLES Example 1 A viscosity at 25 ° C. of 5,000 cps
A phenolic phenol having a solid content of 32%
Silicone surfactant as a foam stabilizer in 100 parts of resin
About 2 parts and 10 parts of 1,3-dioxolane as a foaming agent were added and stirred and mixed to form a stable emulsion. Then, 10 parts of a 65% solution of phenolsulfonic acid was sufficiently mixed with 100 parts of the obtained emulsion by stirring and foaming to form a foam. The cure time of the form is 5.5 minutes and the density of the finished product is 0.038.
And the compressive strength was 1.11 kg / cm 2 . Examples 2 and 3 The results obtained by performing the same operation as in Example 1 by changing the amount of 1,3-dioxolane as a foaming agent are shown in the following table. Comparative Example An example using conventional Freon 11 as a foaming agent is shown in the table below together with an example as a comparative example. [0007] * 1: Freon 11 instead of 1,3 DOL as a foaming agent
According to the present invention, as is apparent from the above description,
By using 1,3-dioxolane as a foaming agent, it became possible to produce a phenol form having excellent compressive strength and heat insulating properties, and particularly having a fine cell structure. In particular, extremely useful foaming means for protecting the global environment without using CFCs that cause ozone depletion can be recommended.
