Abstract

In this study, we compared and analyzed the flame retardancy and mechanical properties of three different rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) containing noble non-halogen phosphorus flame retardant (BHP-RPUF) or halogen-phosphorus flame retardant (TCPP-RPUF) or no flame retardant material (Pure-RPUF). The noble phosphorus-based flame retardant, bis(3-(3-hydroxypropoxy)propyl) phenyl phosphate (BHP), was synthesized by the reaction between disodium phenyl phosphate and 3-chloro-1-propanol. Through universal testing machine (UTM) experiments, the compressive strength of BHP-RPUF was similar to that of TCPP-RPUF. From the result of foam morphology analysis, it was confirmed that BHP-RPUF has the lowest thermal conductivity of $0.023W/m{\cdot}K$. We also measured the size of air bubbles using reaction velocity and SEM, and analyzed how they affect the thermal conductivity. In addition, the heat-resisting property was investigated through TGA analysis. The limited oxygen index (LOI) test confirmed that BHP had the ability to increase the flame retardancy of RPUF.

본 연구에서는 새로운 비할로겐-인계 난연제를 포함하는 경질 폴리우레탄 폼[BHP-RPUF]과 할로겐-인계 난연제를 포함하는 경질 폴리우레탄 폼[TCPP-RPUF] 그리고 난연제를 포함하고 있지 않은 폴리우레탄 폼[Pure-RPUF]의 기계적 물성 및 난연 특성에 대해 비교 분석하였다. 새로운 비할로겐-인계 난연제인 bis(3-(3-hydroxypropoxy)propyl) phenyl phosphate [BHP]는 disodium phenyl phosphate와 3-chloro-1-propanol의 반응을 통해 합성하였다. BHP-RPUF, TCPP-RPUF, 그리고 Pure-RPUF의 압축강도는 BHP-RPUF와 TCPP-RPUF가 비슷한 압축강도를 나타내었고, 열전도도에서는 BHP-RPUF가 TCPP-RPUF보다 낮은 값인 $0.023W/m{\cdot}K$를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 반응속도와 SEM을 통해 기공의 크기를 측정하여 열전도도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였고, TGA 분석을 통해 내열성을 확인하였다. 난연성은 한계산소지수(Limited Oxygen Index) 측정 실험을 통하여, Pure-RPUF보다 BHP-RPUF에서 난연성이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
