Properties of Inorganic Adhesives according to Phosphate Type and Borax Ratio

인산염 종류와 붕사 첨가율에 따른 무기접착재의 특성

Abstract

Epoxy resin adhesives are currently used as adhesives in buildings. Epoxy resin adhesives, which are organic materials, generate harmful substances when producing adhesives, and toxic substances are high in the residential space after installation. In addition, a large amount of carbon monoxide generated from organic materials in the case of a building fire leads to personal injury. This study evaluates the feasibility of inorganic adhesives using pure inorganic materials such as magnesia, phosphate, and borax as inorganic adhesives to replace existing organic adhesives. As a result of the experiment on the selection of adequate phosphate and the characteristics of the addition rate of borax used as a retarder, the potassium phosphate monobasic was obtained as a suitable phosphate and the characteristics according to the borax addition rate were compared with the quality standard of KS F 4923 The hardening shrinkage and heat change rate satisfied the quality standards. The tensile strength was satisfactory when the borax addition rate was 4% or more, but the adhesive strength did not meet the quality standards. Further studies are needed to improve adhesion strength.

현재 건축물에 사용되는 접착제는 주로 유기질 재료인 에폭시 수지 접착제가 사용되고 있다. 유기질 재료인 에폭시 수지 접착제는 유기성 물질로 접착제 생산 시 유해물질이 발생하며, 시공 후에도 유해물질이 실내거주공간에서 높게 나타난다. 또한 건축물 화재 시 유기 재료에서 발생되는 다량의 일산화탄소가 인명피해로 이어진다. 본 연구는 순수무기계 재료인 산화마그네시아, 인산염, 붕사를 사용한 무기 접착재에 대해 기존 유기 접착제를 대체 할 무기 접착재로의 활용가능성을 평가한 연구이다. 적정 인산염 선정에 관한 실험과 지연제로서 활용한 붕사의 첨가율에 대한 특성을 실험한 결과 적정 인산염으로 제1인산칼륨이 도출되었으며, 붕사 첨가율에 따른 특성을 측정한 결과 KS F 4923의 품질기준과 비교하여 경화수축률과 가열변화율은 품질기준을 만족하였으며, 인장강도는 붕사 첨가율 4% 이상에서 만족하는 결과가 나왔지만 접착강도의 경우 품질 기준을 충족하지 못하였다. 향후 접착강도 증진을 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
