Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0036] The first aspect of the present application provides an anti-fouling self-cleaning fluorocarbon finish, which is composed of A component and B component stored separately and used according to the ratio of (80-87):16; The A component includes fluorocarbon resin 560-580 parts, first solvent 30-35 parts, second solvent 20-40 parts, titanium dioxide 180-220 parts, filler 90-110 parts, light stabilizer 11-20 parts, thickening agent 3-5 parts and additive 13-28 parts by weight; The B component comprises 20-22 parts by weight of fluorocarbon resin, 4-5 parts of chain extender, 15-20 parts of diamine curing agent, 15-20 parts of polyamine curing agent and 25-35 parts of second solvent.

[0037] The anti-fouling self-cleaning fluorocarbon finish provided by the application can significantly improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the coating: by virtue of the super-hydrophobic property of the finish, the contact angle of water droplets and dirt on the coating surface is greatly increased, effectively shortening the residence time of water droplets on the surface and accelerating the removal of dirt, which directly prolongs the cleaning cycle of the building surface and reduces the maintenance frequency and cleaning cost. At the same time, the addition of the new super-hydrophobic resin fluorocarbon resin further improves the weather resistance of the coating on the basis of enhancing the self-cleaning ability, and can resist the influence of ultraviolet radiation, acid rain erosion, and drastic changes in temperature and other harsh environments, delaying the aging and damage of the coating, thereby prolonging the service life of the coating and reducing the long-term maintenance requirements. In addition, the reduction in cleaning frequency brought about by the self-cleaning function can also reduce the use of chemical cleaning agents, further reducing the impact on the environment.

[0038] In the above-mentioned anti-fouling self-cleaning fluorocarbon finish, the fluorocarbon resin of the A component forms a coating film with high crosslinking density, excellent physical and mechanical properties and chemical medium resistance; the fluorocarbon resin in the B component and the polyamine curing agent form a pre-reaction body, which can produce more reactive groups.

[0042] Further, the auxiliary agent includes at least one of a leveling agent, an anti-settling agent, a dispersing agent, and a defoaming agent.

[0043] Preferably, the B component further includes a stabilizer 8-12 parts.

[0044] Typically but not exclusively, the stabilizer may be 8 parts, 9 parts, 10 parts, 11 parts, or 12 parts, or any value within the range of 8-12 parts.

[0045] Preferably, the stabilizer includes at least one of benzyl alcohol, ethyl benzyl alcohol, propylene glycol methyl ether. The stabilizer participates in the chain extension reaction, and plays the role of reaction stabilizer. When the concentration of stabilizer in the system is low, the reaction is slow or the reaction is terminated. When the amount of stabilizer is more than 12 parts, the chain extension reaction continues; when the amount of stabilizer is less than 8 parts, the chain extension reaction is terminated.

[0046] Further, the auxiliary agent includes at least one of 6-8 parts of a leveling agent, 1-5 parts of an anti-settling agent, 1-5 parts of a dispersing agent, and 5-10 parts of a defoaming agent.

[0047] Typically but not limitedly, the leveling agent may be, for example, 6 parts, 6.5 parts, 7 parts, 7.5 parts, or 8 parts, or any value within the range of 6-8 parts; the anti-settling agent may be, for example, 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, or any value within the range of 1-5 parts; the dispersing agent may be, for example, 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, or any value within the range of 1-5 parts; the defoaming agent may be, for example, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 9 parts, or 10 parts, or any value within the range of 5-10 parts; the auxiliary agent may use any one of the above leveling agent, anti-settling agent, dispersing agent, and defoaming agent alone, or any combination of two, three, or all four thereof in any proportion.

[0048] Further, the fluorocarbon resin includes at least one of ZU201.

[0049] The ZU201 resin contains C-F bonds with bond energies as high as 486 kJ / mol, so it is difficult for the C-F bonds to break under the action of ultraviolet light, showing super-long weather resistance, durability, and chemical resistance, and being able to resist ultraviolet rays, rain, and other natural environmental erosion for a long time, maintaining the stability and aesthetics of the coating. The ZU201 resin contains a large number of carbon-fluorine bonds in its molecular structure, and this bond is one of the strongest single bonds known. The high bond energy of the carbon-fluorine bond makes the resin extremely difficult to be destroyed in a chemical environment, so it has extremely high resistance to most chemical reagents. In addition, the side chain structure of the ZU201 resin is simple, without functional groups that are easy to attack, further enhancing its chemical stability.

[0050] The coating skillfully combines the advantages of super-hydrophobic technology and fluorocarbon coating, and has excellent self-cleaning function and weather resistance. Specifically, by introducing a new super-hydrophobic resin ZU201 into the coating, a super-hydrophobic structure can be formed on the surface of the coating, which can effectively resist the adhesion of pollutants such as water and oil stains, thereby realizing high-efficiency self-cleaning effect; at the same time, the addition of fluorocarbon resin not only improves the weather resistance of the coating, so that it can maintain stable performance in various complex environmental conditions, but also enhances the adhesion of the coating, further ensuring the durability of the protection effect. In summary, the anti-fouling and self-cleaning fluorocarbon topcoat coating of the present application can not only improve the aesthetic appearance of buildings, but also significantly reduce maintenance costs, and therefore has a wide application prospect.

[0051] Preferably, the first solvent includes at least one of butyl acetate and dibasic acid ester (DBP).

[0052] Preferably, the second solvent includes at least one of dimethylbenzene, toluene, isobutyl alcohol, and cyclohexanol.

[0053] Preferably, the filler includes at least one of aluminum clay, talcum powder, glass flake, quartz powder, and precipitated barium sulfate.

[0054] Preferably, the light stabilizer includes at least one of TINUVIN 292 and TINUVIN 1130.

[0055] Preferably, the thickening agent includes at least one of polyamide wax, polyethylene wax, fumed silica, and hydrogenated castor oil.

[0059] Polyoxypropylene triamine has an oxidized propane as a basic repeating segment in the main chain structure, and it is a three-amine with polypropylene glycol as the main chain. In the system reaction with fluorocarbon resin, the reaction rate is uniform, the anti-sagging property is good, and the elongation and strength of the anti-fouling and self-cleaning fluorocarbon topcoat can be increased.

[0060] Further, the anti-fouling and self-cleaning fluorocarbon topcoat uses pigments to partially replace titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide has a dual role of pigment and filler in the formula, which can provide sufficient hiding power and adjust the color of the coating. In specific implementation, other pigments can be used to partially replace titanium dioxide according to the required appearance color of the product.

[0061] Preferably, the pigments include at least one of red iron oxide, molybdate red, carbon black, black iron oxide, aniline black, yellow iron oxide, bismuth vanadate, chrome yellow, phthalocyanine blue, cobalt blue, and ultramarine blue.

[0062] The second aspect of the present application provides a preparation method of the anti-fouling self-cleaning fluorocarbon finish, and the preparation method of the A component is as follows: adding fluorocarbon resin, a first solvent, a second solvent and a thickening agent to stir uniformly to obtain a pre-solution; then adding titanium dioxide and a filler in the pre-solution, increasing the rotating speed and increasing the temperature, then decreasing the rotating speed and keeping the temperature to obtain a first semi-finished product, and finally adding an additive and a light stabilizer to mix uniformly to obtain the A component.

[0063] and / or, The preparation method of the B component is as follows: mixing a chain extender, part of the second solvent, a diamine curing agent and an optional stabilizer uniformly, then adding fluorocarbon resin to stir uniformly and stand to obtain a semi-finished product; finally adding a polyamine curing agent and the remaining second solvent in the semi-finished product to mix uniformly to obtain the B component.

[0064] In the preparation method, the A component is prepared by adding raw materials step by step, which not only ensures the sufficient dispersion of solid particles, but also avoids the damage of high temperature to the additive and the light stabilizer, thereby improving the stability of the component; the preparation steps of the B component reduce the early reaction of the curing agent and the resin, thereby ensuring the storage stability. The overall process steps are clear, the components are uniformly mixed by controlling the rotating speed and the temperature, the performance stability of the paint is ensured, the operation is simple, and the method is suitable for industrial production.

[0065] In the preparation method of the B component, the chain extender and the diamine curing agent are first subjected to chain extension reaction, then the fluorocarbon resin is added for pre-reaction, so as to promote the intermediate chain addition of the amine group of the fluorocarbon resin; the intermediate chain can continue to undergo curing reaction during construction, thereby ensuring the continuity and integrity of the curing process. At the same time, by adding the polyamine curing agent, the number of amine groups in the curing agent is increased, which can further promote the curing reaction, improve the reaction activity of the paint film, and finally enhance the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0066] Further, in the preparation method of the A component, the stirring rotating speed for obtaining the pre-solution is 400-700 rpm.

[0067] Preferably, the rotating speed is increased to 800-1500 rpm and the temperature is increased to 60-65 ℃. Increasing the rotating speed temporarily reduces the viscosity of the system, and high temperature intensifies the molecular thermal motion, so that the thickening agent is completely dissolved in the system.

[0068] Typically but not exclusively, the increased rotational speed can be, for example, 800 rpm, 900 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1100 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1300 rpm, 1400 rpm or 1500 rpm, or any value within the range of 800-1500 rpm; the increased temperature can be, for example, 70℃, 72℃, 75℃, 78℃, 80℃, 82℃, 84℃ or 85℃, or any value within the range of 70-85℃. Preferably, the rotational speed is decreased to 400-700 rpm. Typically but not exclusively, the decreased rotational speed can be, for example, 400 rpm, 450 rpm, 500 rpm, 550 rpm, 600 rpm, 650 rpm or 700 rpm, or any value within the range of 400-700 rpm.

[0071] The third aspect of the present application provides the application of the anti-fouling self-cleaning fluorocarbon finish in the industrial protection field.

[0072] The application of the anti-fouling self-cleaning fluorocarbon finish in the industrial protection field provided by the present application, due to the advantages of the anti-fouling self-cleaning fluorocarbon finish, makes it possible to effectively protect equipment, storage tanks and the like from corrosion caused by industrial waste gas and seawater splashing, reduce corrosion damage, reduce the use of cleaning agents, meet environmental protection requirements, achieve the dual benefits of long-term protection and reduced maintenance costs.

[0073] Further, the industrial protection field includes coastal bridges, port machinery, offshore wind power piles, ships and offshore oil platforms.

[0114] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0115] Table 1 Performance Data of Antifouling and Self-Cleaning Fluorocarbon Topcoat

[0116] As shown in Table 1, in terms of basic performance indicators, the solid content of all examples and comparative examples is concentrated in the range of 54% to 70%, which is in line with the conventional solid content range in the coating industry. Furthermore, the solid content of Examples 1-14 is mostly between 54% and 59%, indicating good overall stability. Only Comparative Example 7 (component B does not contain fluorocarbon resin) has a solid content that rises to 70% due to missing components, deviating from the normal range. Regarding anti-sagging performance, the anti-sagging thickness of Examples 1-14 is mostly between 255μm and 285μm, meeting the anti-sagging requirements of industrial protective coatings. The amount of thickener has a significant impact on this performance—the anti-sagging thickness of Comparative Example 1 (1 part polyamide wax) and Comparative Example 3 (no polyamide wax) is 240μm and 210μm respectively, significantly lower than that of Example 1 (3 parts polyamide wax, 275μm), confirming the key role of the thickener in improving the anti-sagging ability of the coating. While Comparative Example 2 (7 parts polyamide wax) has an anti-sagging thickness of 310μm, exhibiting excessive anti-sagging properties, it did not affect other core performance characteristics.

[0117] In terms of functional performance indicators, salt water resistance and salt spray resistance showed extremely strong consistency. Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-3 and 8-9 all achieved 4200h of salt water resistance and salt spray resistance. Only Comparative Example 7 (without component B fluorocarbon resin) saw a sharp drop in both indicators to 2000h due to the lack of fluorocarbon resin, while Comparative Example 8 (without TINUVIN light stabilizer) dropped to 3000h. This fully demonstrates that the weather resistance advantage of fluorocarbon resin and the anti-aging effect of light stabilizer are the core components ensuring the long-term corrosion resistance of the coating. Regarding abrasion resistance, the abrasion amount in Examples 1-14 was mostly between 43mg and 56mg. Comparative Example 7, due to the lack of fluorocarbon resin, had an abrasion amount of 70mg, resulting in a significant decrease in abrasion resistance. Examples 4 (270 parts titanium dioxide) and 5 (ZB-F500 replacing ZU201) showed slightly higher abrasion amounts than Example 1, reflecting the slight influence of excessive titanium dioxide or differences in fluorocarbon resin grade on abrasion resistance, but overall, the results remained excellent.

[0118] The water contact angle is a key indicator for measuring self-cleaning performance. Examples 1-2 and 8-9 have water contact angles of 150°, demonstrating outstanding superhydrophobicity. Examples 3 (90 parts titanium dioxide) and 6 (A / B ratio 87:16) have water contact angles of 140°, Examples 4 and 10-14 have water contact angles of 120°~125°, Example 5 (ZB-F500 resin) has a water contact angle of 100°, and Comparative Examples 1 and 4 (without chain extender) have a water contact angle of 105°. It can be seen that ZU201 fluorocarbon resin, reasonable titanium dioxide dosage, and A / B component ratio are key to ensuring superhydrophobic performance. Replacing the resin grade, excessive titanium dioxide, or missing components will lead to a decrease in self-cleaning performance. Regarding adhesion, Examples 1-9, 12-14 and Comparative Examples 1-3, 9 all reached level 0 (optimal), while Comparative Examples 4 (without chain extender) and 5-6 (single curing agent) dropped to level 1, and Comparative Example 7 dropped to level 2. This indicates that the synergistic effect of chain extender and composite curing agent (diamine + polyamine) is the core to ensure a strong bond between the coating and the substrate. The absence or simplification of components will significantly weaken the adhesion.

[0119] Furthermore, the performance of Comparative Example 9 (commercially available CT-H type coating) is basically the same as that of Example 1. However, the water contact angle is 130° and the abrasion resistance is 51mg, which is slightly lower than that of Example 1 (150° and 43mg). This indicates that the coating of the present invention is superior to commercially available similar products in terms of self-cleaning and abrasion resistance, and its overall performance reaches the advanced level in the industry.
