Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of functional coatings, and more specifically to an anti-condensation coating based on nano-aerogel and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as construction, warehousing, cold chain transportation, and marine engineering, the phenomenon of water vapor condensing into dew on object surfaces is extremely common when the ambient temperature is below the air dew point temperature. Condensation not only breeds mold, pollutes the environment, and harms health, but also leads to structural corrosion, paint peeling, and even electrical short circuits, seriously affecting the service life and safety of related facilities.
[0003] Traditionally, methods to address condensation problems include enhanced ventilation, the use of insulation materials, and the application of anti-condensation coatings. While enhanced ventilation can reduce air humidity, its effectiveness is limited in enclosed spaces or under specific climatic conditions, and it is also energy-intensive. Using insulation materials such as polystyrene boards and polyurethane foam for wall insulation presents challenges due to complex construction, high costs, and space requirements, making it particularly unsuitable for retrofitting existing buildings. Currently, the most common anti-condensation coatings on the market are porous hygroscopic types, relying on the hygroscopic properties of porous fillers such as diatomaceous earth and perlite to temporarily delay condensation. However, these coatings have inherent drawbacks: their moisture absorption capacity is limited, and once saturated, they lose their anti-condensation ability, becoming a source of moisture and pollution instead; their thermal conductivity is not low enough to effectively block thermal bridges, resulting in a short-lived anti-condensation effect; and the extensive use of porous fillers leads to poor mechanical strength of the paint film, making it prone to powdering and peeling after repeated moisture absorption and desiccation cycles, resulting in insufficient durability.
[0004] In summary, existing anti-condensation solutions generally have their own limitations, such as water absorption failure, limited functionality, excessive thickness and weight, or insufficient durability and environmental adaptability. They are unable to provide long-lasting, stable, and efficient anti-condensation protection under complex and harsh environments such as prolonged high humidity, salt spray, and ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a high-efficiency anti-condensation coating that combines low thermal conductivity, low water absorption, high moisture resistance factor, and excellent mechanical strength. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an anti-condensation coating based on nano-aerogel and its preparation method.

[0022] This application utilizes a composite combination of waterborne polyurethane-urea dispersion emulsion, nano-SiO2 aerogel, and composite functional particles to significantly improve the overall performance of the anti-condensation coating while maintaining excellent low thermal conductivity, low water absorption, moisture resistance, and mechanical strength. The aerogel-functional particle-gradient polymer shell structure significantly reduces the coating's water absorption rate and weakens the rate of change in thermal coefficient after water absorption, ensuring performance stability under long-term high humidity environments. Furthermore, by employing a specific type of aerogel raw material to weaken the hydroxyl effect on its surface, water molecule adsorption is blocked. The elastic polyurethane-urea shell buffers external impacts, ensuring the stability of the internal aerogel-functional particle skeleton and avoiding brittleness and hydrophilic defects. The flake-like boron nitride and ATO@TiO2 work together to shield against heat radiation and conduction. The coating simultaneously possesses moisture and water resistance, heat insulation, and salt spray resistance, ensuring its effectiveness in complex environments such as high salt spray in the ocean, ultraviolet radiation, and large diurnal temperature variations.

[0039] Preferably, the fluorinated polyether acrylate oligomer is AD1700, manufactured by Solvay, USA.
[0040] The addition of auxiliary reinforcing agents actively interacts with the active functional groups in the resin system through efficient cross-linking, constructing a high-density covalent cross-linked network within the coating. This skeletal structure strengthens the coating's mechanical strength, adhesion, and hydrolysis resistance, making it more resistant to physical damage and penetrating corrosion. Simultaneously, thanks to fluorinated segments, these segments migrate to the coating surface and anchor during curing, forming a dense protective layer that imparts excellent and durable hydrophobic and oleophobic properties and stain resistance. The combined effect of these two factors effectively limits the movement and migration rate of water vapor and solves the coating's brittleness problem. Furthermore, it achieves multiple performance improvements, including salt spray resistance, weather resistance, low water absorption, and enhanced mechanical strength, ensuring the long-term effectiveness and lifespan of the nano-aerogel anti-condensation coating in harsh environments.

[0050] Preferably, the preparation method of the anti-condensation coating based on nano-aerogel specifically includes the following steps: S1: 300~400 Add all water, wetting and dispersing agent, and defoamer to the main mixing tank under rpm stirring. Then slowly add the composite functional particles, increase the speed to 600-800 rpm and continue stirring for 20-30 minutes to obtain a dispersion slurry. S2: In a high-speed mixer, add resin base material, stir at 200-300 rpm and slowly add nano-aerogel in three equal portions.

After discharge, filter through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain the final product.
[0051] The beneficial effects of this application are: 1. The nano-aerogel anti-condensation coating prepared in this application, by constructing a gradient porous structure and using specific raw materials, fundamentally blocks thermal bridges and significantly increases the surface temperature of the substrate, thereby effectively preventing condensation over a wide temperature and humidity range. Simultaneously, a unique synergistic reinforcement system forms a dense cross-linked network and a superhydrophobic protective layer within the coating, endowing it with extremely high mechanical strength, excellent waterproof and moisture resistance, and superior durability against long-term salt spray and UV aging. Ultimately, the ultra-thin coating achieves a long-term, efficient, and stable anti-condensation effect that significantly surpasses traditional thick insulation materials, while also possessing multiple protective functions such as self-cleaning, greatly improving the application quality of the anti-condensation coating.
