Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of preparation method of water-based intelligent anticorrosive coating and the product obtained and application on steel material, belong to the technical field of coating field. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of China's steel technology, its application in shipbuilding, construction, bridge and other aspects is also increasingly widespread. However, steel corrosion can seriously affect its mechanical properties, aesthetics and safety. Therefore, it is of great social and economic benefit to use certain protective measures to enhance the corrosion resistance of steel. Spraying paint on the surface of steel so as to isolate the steel from the environment that can easily cause corrosion, thereby avoiding the reaction between steel and the surrounding medium to cause corrosion is one of the simple and effective protection methods. At present, anti-rust paint is generally divided into two types: oil-based paint and water-based paint. Although oil-based paint is convenient to use and low in price, it contains a large amount of nitrite and other carcinogens, which poses a great threat to the human body and the environment, and its use has been restricted by the state. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly, safe and excellent corrosion-resistant water-based paint has great application prospects. However, spraying paint on steel can only play a passive protection role, and once the coating is damaged, it will fail. In recent years, intelligent anticorrosive coating based on corrosion inhibitor nanocapsules can repair the damage to the coating according to the environment, prolonging the service life of the substrate.

[0032] The present application will be further described below through specific examples, and the following description is only exemplary and does not limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0033] In the following examples, the zirconium n-propoxide solution used is commercially available zirconium n-propoxide n-propanol solution with a content of 70 wt%. The nanoscale TiO2 used has a size of 10-50 nm. The ECO-2300 dispersant used is purchased from Dongguan Aus Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0034] Example 1 1. In a 500 mL beaker, 56 g of nanosilica sol with a mass fraction of 30 wt% was added, 8 g of deionized water was added, and stirring was carried out at 25-30°C and 200-300 r / min for 15 min; 60 g of n-propanol was added, and stirring was continued for 20 min; 78 g of methyltriethoxysilane was added dropwise at a rate of 1-2 drops per second, and stirring was carried out for 1.5 h to obtain 202 g of organosilane sol.

[0036] 3. 202 g of organosilane sol was mixed with 25.25 g of ZrO2 sol; 11.1 g of nanoscale TiO2 with a particle size of 10-50 nm, 2.53 g of carbon black, and 0.136 g of water-based dispersant ECO-2300 were added; ultrasonication was carried out at 200 W and 30 kHz for 10 min, and grinding was carried out at 300 r / min for 24 h to obtain a water-based paint.

[0040] Example 5 1. Preparation of organosilane sol: same as Example 1.

[0041] 2. Preparation of ZrO2 sol: same as Example 1.

[0042] 3. Preparation of corrosion inhibitor composite material: 26.053 g of Ce(NO3)3·6H2O and 300 g of deionized water were weighed into a 500 mL three-necked round-bottom flask (corresponding concentration of 0.2 M), stirred at 400 r / min for 30 min to dissolve completely, to obtain solution A; then 10.809 g of bentonite was weighed into the above solution A (molar ratio of Ce 3+ to bentonite of 20:3) to obtain a suspension; the above suspension was then transferred into an oil bath, and ion exchange was carried out at 80 ℃ for 24 h; after ion exchange, the suspension was naturally cooled, and washed with ethanol by centrifugation for three times; finally, the obtained solid was dried in an oven at 80 ℃ for 24 h, and grinded to obtain the corrosion inhibitor composite material of bentonite encapsulating Ce 3+ .

[0043] 4. 202 g of the organosilane sol prepared in step 1 and 25.25 g of the ZrO2 sol prepared in step 2 were mixed, then 2.02 g of the corrosion inhibitor composite material, 11.1 g of nano-TiO2 and 2.53 g of carbon black were added, and 0.136 g of water-based dispersant (ECO-2300) was further added; the mixed coating was ultrasonically dispersed in an ultrasonic disperser at a power of 200 W and a frequency of 30 kHz for 10 min, and then grinded at a speed of 300 r / min for 24 h to obtain a water-based coating.

[0044] Example 6 The water-based coating was prepared according to the method of Example 5, except that the amount of the corrosion inhibitor composite material was changed from 2.02 g to 1.01 g.

[0045] Example 7 The water-based coating was prepared according to the method of Example 5, except that the amount of the corrosion inhibitor composite material was changed from 2.02 g to 4.04 g.

[0046] Comparative Example 1 The water-based coating was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that step 2 was omitted, and no ZrO2 sol was added in step 3.

[0047] Application Example In order to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the water-based coating prepared in the application to steel, electrochemical impedance test was carried out. The specific experimental steps were as follows: 1. The water-based paints prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1 were respectively roll-coated on 201 stainless steel plates with the size of 12 x 18 x 1.5 mm, the roll-coating mode and the roll-coating amount were kept consistent, the thickness was about 5 μm, and the roll-coated samples were naturally dried for 2 h to obtain the test samples with anticorrosive coatings.

[0048] 2. The test was performed by using the IVIUM electrochemical workstation imported from Holland, the standard three-electrode system was used as the test system, the reference electrode was a mercury-mercury oxide electrode, the auxiliary electrode was a graphite electrode, and the working electrode was the test sample (the exposed test area was 1 cm 2 ). The scanning frequency range of the alternating current impedance spectrum was 100 kHz-10 mHz, and the amplitude was 50 mV.

[0049] 3. Experimental results Figure 1 is the comparison chart of the anticorrosive properties of the test samples coated with the paints of Examples 1-3. The results show that the coating prepared in Example 1 has the best anticorrosive property, indicating that the optimal mass ratio of the organosilane sol and the ZrO2 sol is 8:1.

[0050] Figure 2 is the comparison chart of the anticorrosive properties of the test samples coated with the paints of Examples 1 and 4. The results show that the coating prepared in Example 1 has relatively good anticorrosive property, indicating that too much nano-based TiO2 and carbon black leads to the decrease of the anticorrosive property of the coating.

[0051] Figure 3 is the chart of the anticorrosive properties of the test samples coated with the paints of Examples 1 and 5 after being immersed for different time. The results show that although the coating prepared in Example 1 has good anticorrosive property, its anticorrosive property decreases obviously with the extension of the immersion time in the corrosion medium (5wt% NaCl solution), while the anticorrosive property of the coating prepared in Example 5 has a significant rebound phenomenon after being immersed in the corrosion medium for 12 h, indicating that the coating prepared in Example 5 releases the corrosion inhibitor after being immersed in the corrosion medium for a period of time, thereby improving the anticorrosive ability of the coating.

[0052] Figure 4 is the comparison chart of the anticorrosive properties of the test samples coated with the paints of Examples 5-7. The results show that the coating prepared in Example 5 has the best anticorrosive property, indicating that the optimal ratio of the corrosion inhibitor to the mass of the organosilane sol is 1%.

[0053] Figure 5 is the comparison chart of the anticorrosive properties of the test samples coated with the paints of Examples 1 and Comparative Example 1. The results show that the coating prepared in Example 1 has better anticorrosive property, indicating that the addition of an appropriate amount of ZrO2 sol is beneficial to the anticorrosive property of the paint.
