The invention provides a hydrophobic
flame retardant and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
flame retardant modification. The hydrophobic
flame retardant contains 70-95% by
mass of a flame retardant and 5-30% by
mass of a modifier; the flame retardant is one or more of an inorganic flame retardant, a component of a compound
intumescent flame retardant and a simplesubstance type
intumescent flame retardant; the modifier is one or more of tetraethyl
silicate, vinyl trimethoxy
silane, vinyl triethoxy
silane, vinyl tri(2-methoxyethoxy)
silane, polyoxyethylene octyl
phenol ether-10, dodecyl trimethoxy silane, dodecyl triethoxy silane, hexadecyl trimethoxy silane, hexadecyl triethoxy silane, octadecyl trimethoxy silane and octadecyl triethoxy silane. The hydrophobic flame retardant is prepared through multiple
surface modification, the flame retardant is endowed with high hydrophobicity, meanwhile, the flame retardant performance of the flame retardant is improved, the compatibility between the flame retardant and a
polymer matrix is good, the preparation method is simple, and the cost is low.
