STUDY ON THE MOST EFFECTIVE COMBINATION OF FLAME RETARDANT AND ANTI-AGING AGENT FOR BAMBOO MODIFICATION

In order to promote the universal application of bamboo materials as well as to provide reference for the study of the performance of bamboo, four kinds of flame retardants (boric acid (BA), borax (BX), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT)), two kinds of ultraviolet light absorbers (UV-531, nano TiO2) were added into waterborne polyurethane (WPU) to synthesize 5 kinds of modified coatings and coated on the surface of bamboo to make test materials. The flame-retardant analysis of the coated samples comprehensively explored the changes in flame retardancy of the test material after treatment. And the anti-aging test was carried out to investigate the color difference and adhesion change of the coating sample. The results show that the optimum flame retardant and anti-aging coating composition was obtained as 20% solid content of WPU, 8g coating amount of modifier, with the mass ratio of BA/BX/APP /DOT/water being 75:75:7:42:600, and the amount of UV-531 added being 1%

PREPARATION AND PERFORMANCE OF ANTI MILDEW GLUED LAMINATED BAMBOO

In order to strengthen the anti-mildew and anti-aging properties of bamboo when exposed outdoors, the glued laminated bamboo was impregnated with four different kinds of anti-mildew agents: tebuconazole, 3-Iodo-2-propargyl butyl carbamate (IPBC), NaBF4/didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC), boric acid/borax, and waterborne polyurethane coatings modified with boric acid/borax and triazole (UV1130), nano-TiO2 and nano-SiO2 were coated respectively. The modified coated glued laminated bamboo was characterized and analyzed through the experiments of wear resistance, three-point bending resistance and mildew resistance. The results showed that the glued laminated bamboo impregnated with 0.5% NaBF4/DDAC, and then coated with the waterborne polyurethane modified with boric acid/borax and nano TiO2 (the mass ratio:7.5/7.5/1.0) possessed the best mildew resistance, mechanical properties and weather resistance
