Description

Durable aqueous nanocomposite flame retardant and its manufacturing method {THE AQUEOUS NANOCOMPOSITE FLAME RETARDANT HAVING DURABILITY AND ITS PREPARATION METHOD}

The present invention relates to an aqueous nanocomposite flame retardant having a durability and a method of manufacturing the same, which is a nanocomposite aqueous flame retardant of nitrogen-containing phosphate esters and nanoclays, which is surface-treated on materials such as fiber, paper, film, wood, etc. It relates to a composition to be exerted.

Flame retardant agents used in flame retardant processing methods for imparting flame retardancy to fibers and maintaining laundry fastness (durability for wet cleaning and dry cleaning), such as hexabromocyclododecane and halogenated cycloalkane compounds such as Powdering is generally used. In addition, a mixture of phosphonate compounds may also be used. However, in recent years, interest in the protection of the global environment and living environment is increasing, and thus, flame retardant processing agents for non-halogen compounds are desired.

On the other hand, salts of phosphinic acid are known to be effective flame retardants for films such as OPP and PET, and some are known about the synergistic effect of phosphinates and certain kinds of nitrogen-containing compounds on various polymers.

However, sufficient flame retardancy is not imparted to such fibers, films, paper, etc., which are such adherends as such conventional flame retardant, and thus do not have sufficient durability. Combinations that show synergistic effects with some compounds are not known enough to be flame retardant so far, and are used in large quantities to meet flame retardancy specifications. In addition, when the conventional nitrogen-containing compound is used, compatibility and affinity with fibers and resins are insufficient, resulting in poor surface or poor physical properties at high temperature, resulting in insufficient durability.

Korean Patent No. 337485 shows a nanoclay-containing flame retardant composition and a method of preparing the same, but the manufacturing process of functional clay through the organic phase of clay is complicated and cumbersome, and furthermore, because the gap between the layered structures of clay is not large, binder or flame retardant The insertion efficiency is very low and the insertion conditions are difficult. In addition, the nanoclay and the flame retardant is a mixture of a solid state (liquid) rather than a liquid, and for this reason, its use is very limited and, in other words, there is a problem of very poor compatibility. Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2004-22984 also has the same problems as the above-mentioned patent registration and lacks compatibility due to the limitation of the application field.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-80968 also discloses a flame retardant that imparts flame retardancy, but has a problem in that it has a separate process when applied as well as lacking application field and compatibility.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, by providing a composition in which the synergistic effect is maximized by mixing a nitrogen-containing phosphate-based compound and a functionalized inorganic nanoclay compound to provide sufficient flame retardancy and durability It aims to do it.

In addition, the composition according to the present invention is prepared in an aqueous solution to increase the compatibility with various fibers, paper, film, etc., and does not use a conventional method for producing nanocomposites (Solution, Melt, In-situ polmerization, etc.) I want to show the attempt.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises 60 to 250 parts by weight of nano-particulated functional clay peeled by the solution compounding process (SCP method) based on 100 parts by weight of nitrogen-containing phosphate ester compound In addition, the nitrogen-containing phosphate ester compound is characterized in that the durable aqueous nanocomposite flame retardant is inserted in the card collection structure of the functional clay. More specifically, the nitrogen-containing phosphate ester compound,

Phosphoric acid amide ester-based compounds, the preparation of which comprises: iii) exfoliation and peptizer of clay through hydration of water-swellable clay and cation exchange; An annealing step of forming a house of cards structure by clay; Ii) stirring and mixing the additive with the binder and the nitrogen-containing phosphate ester compound; And iii) intercalating the stirring mixture of step ii) into clay in which the card house structure of step iii) is formed. In the following description, in order not to obscure the subject matter of the present invention, a description of well-known functions and configurations will be omitted.

First, the nanoparticulated functional clay which is one of the main components of the present invention will be described. The raw material of the clay used in the present invention used in the present invention is clay having excellent water swellability such as natural bentonite, hectorite, etc., which is pulverized using an acid and base pretreatment process and a ball mill after drying, and has an average particle diameter of 2.5 μm. It is used as a thing of the degree. The same is true for clay materials of the prior art, but differs in the way in which they are processed and in the grain structure. In the conventional nano clay formation method, the clay having an interlayer spacing of about 1 nm is added to water and purified by hydration and cation exchange, and an organic solvent is added under an organic solvent to have hydrophilicity and hydrophobic properties, and an organic solvent. The process after hydration is complicated by blowing the clay to form a layered structure of clay so as to have a clay array having a solid 5 to 10 nm intervals. On the other hand, in the case of such nanoclays, the interlayer spacing between layers due to hydrophobicity and hydrophilic organic agents in the layered structure is not so large, and intercalation is difficult, and there is a problem that a careful control of vacuum or temperature is required depending on the material. As it is a solid phase, there is a significant limitation in the way it is applied or in the way it is applied. However, in the method of the present invention, after the hydration of the clay, rather than peeling of the layered structure through the organic agent, a peptizer is used to form a house of cards structure of clay (nanoparticles of the present invention). The clay that has been made is called functional clay). In this case, the spacing between particles can reach hundreds of nanometers, have thixotropy that can be changed into sol and gel according to shear rate, and the range of insertable materials can be widened. Not only the storage stability is very good, but also the process is reduced and it is present in the aqueous phase.

In the present invention, the flame retardant material inserted into the card collection structure of the functional clay is a nitrogen-containing phosphate ester compound. As mentioned above, phosphoric acid compounds containing human and nitrogen atoms were used as flame retardant materials. However, when used on its own, it is necessary to use only a very selective processing method because it imposes limitations on the conditions for exhibiting flame retardancy, lacks compatibility with various materials, and lacks water dispersibility for fibers or paper. did. However, in the present invention, these problems can be solved through mixing with functional clay. Especially in the case of the following nitrogen-containing phosphate ester type compounds, the synergy is sufficiently superior. Formula (I) represented by the following formula

(Wherein x is an integer of 1 to 5, and R ₁ and R ₂ are the same or different groups, each being a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or an alcohol of -CH ₂ CH (OH) CH ₂ CH ₃ ) Is a derivative, R ₃ is a nitrogen-containing group functional group selected from the group consisting of urea, melamine, amines, imines and amine alcohols, and the nitrogen atom of the nitrogen-containing functional group is directly chemically bonded to the person;

Formula (II) represented by the following formula

(Wherein R ₁ is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an alcohol derivative of -CH ₂ CH (OH) CH ₂ CH ₃ and R ₂ , R ₃ are the same or different groups, such as an amide group, a melamine group, Phosphoric acid amide ester-based compound); and an amine amide group or an alkylene amine amide. Since the compounds are described in detail in Korean Patent No. 293246 and 2002-66055, their preparation is omitted.

Next, the manufacturing method of the aqueous nanocomposite flame retardant having durability of the present invention will be described. Water swellable clays, such as montrylillonite, hectorite, saponite, bentonite, etc., are hydrated and purified in water and subjected to cation exchange for basic separation of the clay. Later, the loosening agent is used to form a card house structure of clay. The state of the substance in this state is made of an aqueous solution, unlike the prior art, it is possible to switch between the sol state and gel state. This suggests that the clay is not a simple layered structure, but a card house structure through atomic force micrographs. Nitrogen-containing phosphate ester-based compounds are prepared as additives, binders, and flame retardants to be placed in the arrangement of the functional clay, and mixed in a stirrer. The nitrogen-containing phosphate ester compound itself exhibits flame retardancy, but its compatibility and flame retardancy can be maximized through mixing with the functional clay in the present invention. When the nitrogen-containing phosphate ester compound to be inserted is 20 parts by weight or less, the expectation of the synergistic effect of flame retardancy is insufficient, and when it is 80 parts by weight or more, it reaches the limit of insertion into functional clay. Meanwhile, the water-swellable clay is preferably 20 to 80 parts by weight, and the binder is preferably 40 to 180 parts by weight. Considering the inherent flame retardancy of the water-swellable clay, in the case of the binder is too small the problem of adhesion when applying the flame retardant to the adherend, in too many cases the synergistic effect of the present invention due to the relative decrease in the amount of clay It can be inhibited and there is a problem with the addition of other functional materials. In order to facilitate the insertion and insertion stability of the phosphate ester compound into the functional clay, it may be preferable to add a surfactant, a dispersant, an antifoaming agent, a thickener, and a metal soap-based desiccant. Next, both materials are stirred and mixed by inserting the stirred and mixed material into the card collection structure of the functional clay.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments and the results are shown. However, the present invention is not limited by the following examples, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Will be obvious.
