The invention relates to the technical field of coatings, and discloses a
quaternary ammonium salt-attapulgite modified
epoxy acrylic resin and a quaternized imidazoline type
corrosion inhibitor which can show good
corrosion inhibition performance when
metal is eroded. When the
corrosion inhibitor is used, carbon-
nitrogen double bonds on an imidazoline ring and
lone pair electrons on
nitrogen atoms generate corresponding covalent adsorption with a
metal surface, after the
corrosion inhibitor is grafted with the attapulgite, agglomeration is avoided, fine particles of the nano attapulgite are filled into matrix network gaps, so that the
viscosity of a
system is increased, the compatibility between the
corrosion inhibitor and a matrix is enhanced, and the
corrosion inhibitor has good corrosion resistance. When the corrosion inhibitor is applied to
metal, a layer of protective film is formed on the surface of the metal to improve the
mechanical property, a long-chain
alkane chain in the corrosion inhibitor has hydrophobicity, a hydrophobic layer is formed on the surface of the metal to hinder migration of corrosion reactants, the corrosion resistance of compounds is promoted, and the modified
coating has excellent corrosion resistance and
mechanical property.
