The invention discloses a tung oil-based
polyol synthesis method, which comprises: mixing tung oil and a hydroxylating
reagent according to a certain ratio, and heating to a temperature of 35-45 DEG C; mixing a
hydrogen peroxide solution accounting for 40-60% of the total adding amount,
carboxylic acid and an inorganic acid catalyst under vigorous stirring, adding the obtained mixture to the
reaction system in a dropwise manner, slowly adding the remaining
hydrogen peroxide solution in a dropwise manner after completing the adding of the mixture, maintaining the
reaction temperature at 40-65 DEG C by controlling the adding rate, and maintaining the
reaction temperature for 3-5 h after completing the adding; and carrying out standing layering after completing the reaction, separating to obtain a water phase, neutralizing, carrying out
water washing, and carrying out pressure reducing
distillation to obtain the tung oil-based
polyol. According to the present invention, the conjugated
double bond of tung
oil can improve the reactivity of the
epoxy group, such that the hydroxylating
reagent is added while the epoxidation is performed so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of the cross-linking
side reaction and efficiently synthesize the tung oil-based
polyol product; and the prepared tung oil-based polyol has the
hydroxyl value of 120-270 mgKOH / g, the
acid value of less than 1.0 mgKOH / g, the
moisture content of less than 0.1 wt% and the yield of more than 92%, and can be used for the preparation of
polyurethane materials.
