Abstract:

In order to develop high-added value and environment-friendly flocking adhesives, a flocking adhesive featured low-temperature curing, no formaldehyde releasing, alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO) and flame-retardancy was synthesized by blending an organic and inorganic compound retardant in semi-continuous emulsion polymerization using ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and acrylic acid as polymer monomers. The influence of different retardants, mass ratio of retardants, retardant amount, synergist amount on the flocking were investigated. The result show that flocking adhesive (FR) with 30% retardant (mass ratio of ammonium polyphosphate and FR-5 is 3：1) and 10% organic montmorillonite has properties with flocking fastness, hand feeling and flame-retardancy.
