Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a waterborne polyurethane metallic iridescent paint, its preparation method, and its application, and relates to C09D, specifically to the field of coating compositions. Background Technology

[0002] Water-based polyurethane metallic paint can improve the fullness, color, and aesthetics of topcoats, thus enjoying widespread use in practical applications. However, the dispersion of metallic particles in the paint can affect the finish. Existing metallic paints are expensive to produce due to the high cost of particle agglomeration. Furthermore, existing metallic paints are slow to dry after application, and large particles can cause a rough surface. Therefore, developing a metallic paint that improves application efficiency, enhances finish, and reduces costs is crucial.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN201510610300.6 discloses a method for preparing a water-based metallic glitter base coat. First, a water-based aluminum powder slurry is prepared, and then added to a resin liquid under low-speed stirring. During the preparation process, the base coat is free of lumps and mechanical impurities, and the paint film has a shiny silver appearance. After preparation, the paint film does not change color, but it does not contain iridescent powder and cannot achieve an iridescent effect. Chinese invention patent CN201210197381.8 discloses a negative ion eco-friendly iridescent paint and its preparation method. It uses a combination of nano-acrylic emulsion and pearl powder, which can reduce VOC and heavy metal content, resulting in rich colors and being environmentally friendly with a low pollution index. However, its application in indoor architecture results in higher costs. Summary of the Invention

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the paint additives include, by weight, 0.2-0.4 parts of defoamer, 0.2-0.4 parts of wetting agent, 4-7 parts of orienting agent, 0.2-0.4 parts of thickener, and 0.1-0.2 parts of acid-base neutralizer.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the defoamer includes, but is not limited to, alcohols, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, phosphate esters, mineral oils, amides, polyether-type, and silicone-type defoamers.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the wetting agent includes, but is not limited to, fatty alcohol sulfate wetting agents, sulfonate wetting agents, carboxylic acid soap wetting agents, phosphate ester wetting agents, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate wetting agents, polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ether wetting agents, and polyoxyethylene fatty secondary alcohol ether wetting agents.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the orientation agent is a silver powder orientation agent, and the active ingredient content in the silver powder orientation agent is 15-30 wt%.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the active ingredient of the silver powder orientation agent is a modified EVA wax emulsion, and the content of the active ingredient in the silver powder orientation agent is 20wt%.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the film-forming aid includes at least one of dipropylene glycol butyl ether (DPNB), propylene glycol methyl ether (PM), and dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPM).

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the film-forming aid comprises dipropylene glycol butyl ether and propylene glycol methyl ether, wherein the weight ratio of dipropylene glycol butyl ether to propylene glycol methyl ether is (1-5):(5-8).

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of dipropylene glycol butyl ether to propylene glycol methyl ether is 3:6.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the iridescent powder is 100-200 μm.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the iridescent powder is 150 μm.

[0026] During the experiment, the applicant discovered that a combination of acrylic emulsion and acrylic dispersion, with the addition of iridescent powder and directional silver powder, resulted in a metallic iridescent paint that could be sprayed in a directional manner. This metallic iridescent paint exhibited rapid drying, fine particle size of the iridescent powder, and excellent application results. The likely reason is that the acrylic dispersion used in the metallic iridescent paint has a hydroxyl content of 2-3 wt% and a viscosity of 20-500 mPa·s, which allows it to interact with the directional silver powder. This results in a metallic iridescent paint that can be sprayed in a directional manner. The surface hydroxyl groups of the iridescent powder and directional silver powder interact with the 2-3 wt% hydroxyl content of the acrylic dispersion, forming a directional metallic iridescent paint spray. The powder particles are oriented within the paint, resulting in a smooth and even paint film. Furthermore, the added silver powder, with a particle size of 150 μm, contributes to the fine and smooth texture of the paint surface.

[0027] Furthermore, using an acrylic emulsion and acrylic dispersion in a weight ratio of (30-40):(25-35) allows the iridescent powder and silver powder to be evenly dispersed in the resin. The iridescent powder and silver powder are oriented, with inconspicuous surface particles and a smooth paint film surface. This may be because the acrylic emulsion with an acid value of 3.5-5.2 is used in combination with the acrylic dispersion, which promotes the uniform arrangement of powder, reduces iridescent particles on the surface, improves color, and ensures that the composite coating passes the pull-out test.

[0028] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a waterborne polyurethane metallic iridescent paint, comprising the following steps:

[0029] S1 acrylic dispersion and acrylic emulsion are mixed and stirred;

[0030] Add film-forming aid, color powder, and dispersant to S2 at a speed of 200-500 r / min, and stir for 15-20 min;

[0031] S3 is then added to the orientation agent and dispersed for 3-8 minutes, followed by the slow addition of the thickener to obtain the mixture;

[0032] After mixing S4 acid-base neutralizing agent and deionized water, slowly add it to the mixture and stir for 13-18 minutes;

[0033] Add defoamer and wetting agent to S5 and stir at 200-500 rpm for 15-30 minutes to obtain the final product.

[0034] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for applying a waterborne polyurethane metallic iridescent paint, wherein the prepared waterborne polyurethane metallic iridescent paint is mixed with a curing composition and then used.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the waterborne polyurethane metallic iridescent paint to the curing composition is (8-12):1.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the waterborne polyurethane metallic iridescent paint to the curing composition is 10:1.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the curing composition comprises an isocyanate curing agent, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and propylene glycol diacetate. The weight ratio of the isocyanate curing agent, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and propylene glycol diacetate is (60-80):(10-20):(10-20).

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the isocyanate curing agent, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and propylene glycol diacetate is 70:15:15.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the curing composition is prepared by adding an isocyanate curing agent, adding propylene glycol methyl ether acetate and propylene glycol diacetate at a stirring speed of 200-500 r / min, and continuing to stir for 3-5 min to obtain the curing composition.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] (1) The water-based polyurethane metallic iridescent paint of the present invention uses a combination of acrylic emulsion and acrylic dispersion, and adds iridescent powder and directional silver powder. The resulting metallic iridescent paint can be sprayed in a directional manner. The resulting metallic iridescent paint has a fast spray drying speed, fine iridescent powder particle size, and excellent construction effect.
