本研究在探討添加無機層狀矽酸鹽對水性塗料及水性防火塗料之熱安定性與燃燒性質的影響。水性防火塗料的阻燃劑是由聚磷酸銨(Ammonium polyphosphate, APP) 、異戊四醇(Pentaerythritol, PER)及三聚氰胺(Melamine)所組成的膨脹型阻燃劑。本研究也進一步比較添加不同的層狀矽酸鹽如蒙脫土、改質黏土、雲母等,對水性防火塗料之熱安定性與阻燃性的提升效率。首先,在空氣下以熱重分析儀來評估添加不同的層狀矽酸鹽對防火塗膜熱安定性的影響。然後,再以圓錐量熱儀(Cone Calorimeter)對合板試片進行燃燒測試,來進一步探討添加層狀矽酸鹽對防火合板之熱釋放量與發煙量的影響。 在水性塗料中單獨添加層狀矽酸鹽,可提高塗膜之熱安定性並降低其熱重減損量。添加層狀矽酸鹽於水性防火塗料中,也可明顯地提升塗料樹脂之第二段熱裂解的安定性;另一方面,添加層狀矽酸鹽的防火合板試片,在圓錐量熱儀的最大熱釋放率方面也有明顯的降低趨勢。
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of inorganic layered silicate addition on the thermal stability of water-based coating, and also to discusse the influence of layered silicate addition on thermal stability and flame resistant properties of water-based fire-proof coating. The intumescent fire retardant, used to prepare water-based fire-proof coated, contains pentaerythritol, ammonium polyphosphate and malamine. Effect of layered silicate addition on the thermal stability of water base coating and fire-proof coating was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Cone calorimeter was employed to evaluate the efficiency of layered silicate addition on reducing heat release rate and extinction coefficient of water-based fire retardant coatings. Results from TGA analysis pointed out that second segment step degradation temperature of EVA water-based coating was significantly elevated by adding small amount of silicate clay or montmorillonite.Data from cone calorimeter analysis also showed that addition of silicate clay or montmorillonite can reduce maximum heat release rate of water-based fire-proof coating significantly.
