Background
Polyurethane (PU) materials have been widely used as coating materials since the 80 s of the 20 th century, and are particularly important for building applications. The polyurethane material has good physical mechanical property, excellent acid and alkali resistance, good comprehensive performance, high strength, large elongation, good elasticity and bonding sealing performance, simple construction process and less restriction on construction and curing environment, and is suitable for various parts of buildings. Polyurethanes are classified into aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic PU's according to the kind of isocyanate. Wherein, the aromatic polyurethane structure contains-NHCOO-and aromatic ring conjugated structural unit, which has strong adhesive force, good wear resistance, chemical resistance and other excellent performances, and the lower price has obvious competitive advantage and can be widely applied. However, the molecular chain structure stability of the aromatic PU under the conditions of ultraviolet radiation and the like is poor, and under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, aromatic rings and carbamate functional groups in the polyurethane are easy to oxidize or break bonds, so that the obvious aging phenomenon occurs, and the irreversible changes such as degradation and discoloration of the polyurethane material, great reduction of mechanical strength and the like are caused; and the polyurethane has low density, the limited oxygen index is only 16-18%, the polyurethane belongs to a flammable material, and simultaneously, the polyurethane can generate a large amount of toxic gases such as CO, HCN and the like during combustion, so that the popularization and the use of the polyurethane material are greatly limited.
At present, a direct and effective way to improve the UV aging resistance of aromatic PU is to add UV absorbers to the PU substrate. The ultraviolet absorbent added in the material is required to be safe and nontoxic, has good ultraviolet absorption effect, is stable to heat, light and chemicals, and has good performances of acid and alkali resistance, solvent resistance and the like. Currently, common ultraviolet absorbers include light-shielding agents such as ZnO; and organic ultraviolet absorbers such as benzotriazoles. The nano ZnO has high chemical stability, thermal stability, non-migration, tastelessness, no toxicity, no irritation, high refractive index, strong ultraviolet scattering capability, capability of providing broad-spectrum ultraviolet protection (UVA and UVB), low price and is the most inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent used at present. The benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbent has a wide range of absorption wavelength, has a higher light absorption index within 300-385nm, is close to the requirement of an ideal absorbent, has the advantages of oil resistance, discoloration resistance, low volatility, low toxicity and good compatibility with polymers, is suitable for various light-colored products, is the ultraviolet absorbent with the maximum yield at present, and is widely used in various high-molecular synthetic materials and products.
However, the high photocatalytic activity of the nano ZnO can accelerate the breaking of carbon-carbon bonds of organic matters in the surrounding environment, accelerate the aging and oxidative degradation of the matters and shorten the service life of the material; in the application of the benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbent, the benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbent is relatively small in molecular weight and is easy to migrate and diffuse in a high polymer material to cause loss, so that the ultraviolet absorption efficiency is reduced, and the use of the benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbent is limited.
The polyurethane materials in the market all need to be added with flame retardant to achieve the purpose of flame retardance. Common flame retardants are mainly classified into reactive type and additive type. The additive flame retardant is physically dispersed in the polyurethane matrix, does not react with the polyurethane matrix and reaction raw materials thereof, does not need to change greatly in the manufacturing process, has obvious flame retardant effect, is most widely applied in the current industry and accounts for about 90 percent of the total yield. The additive flame retardant is selected from halogen series, phosphorus series, nitrogen series, silicon series, antimony series, aluminum series, magnesium series, etc. The phosphorus flame retardant is mainly divided into an inorganic phosphorus flame retardant and an organic phosphorus flame retardant, and ammonium phosphate, ammonium polyphosphate and corresponding products are the more active research fields of the current phosphorus flame retardants and have very wide prospects as non-halogen flame retardants. However, these flame retardants have a problem of insufficient thermal stability, water resistance, blooming properties, processability, and the like.
With the development of industry, it is an urgent need to solve the problem of providing a polyurethane material with good light resistance, yellowing resistance and flame retardant property, which does not contain an additional flame retardant.
