Description

A water-based imitation stone emulsion and its preparation method Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of architectural coatings, and specifically relates to a water-based stone-like emulsion and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the arrival of the global low-carbon era, the building materials industry is bound to develop in depth towards low-carbon, energy-saving, environmental protection, and health, in order to realize a better life for mankind. Low-carbon economic and social services have become a social responsibility.

[0003] Water-based stone-like paint emulsion, also known as water-based real stone paint emulsion, is mainly formulated by mixing natural stone powder of various colors with polymer emulsion. When sprayed on the exterior walls of buildings, it closely resembles marble and granite, making it an ideal material to replace natural stone decorative surfaces. However, currently, the preparation of stone-like paint suffers from poor quality sand powder. During high-speed stirring and dispersion, the fluidity deteriorates, and the sand powder agglomerates, resulting in poor emulsion mechanical stability during the paint-making process, ultimately leading to paint failure. This is due to the shearing and damaging effect of sand powder impurities and the dispersion disc on the latex particles, causing emulsion demulsification. The main reason for this is that the surface segments of the synthesized latex microparticles contain a large number of hydrophobic functional groups, resulting in relatively poor latex particle stability. Once subjected to high shear forces, the stable structure of the latex particles is destroyed, causing not only the emulsion to lose its adhesive properties but also rendering other simultaneously produced paint raw materials unusable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an aqueous imitation stone emulsion and its preparation method to solve the technical problem mentioned above: the latex particles have relatively poor stability, and their stable structure is destroyed when subjected to high shear forces, resulting in the emulsion losing its adhesive properties and rendering the paint raw materials unusable.

[0041] The reagents and raw materials used in this invention are all commercially available.

[0042] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows:

[0043] In addition to soft and hard monomers, the emulsion of this invention contains styrene monomers and vinyl silane functional monomers. The addition of styrene monomers helps to improve the hardness and strength of the emulsion, while the vinyl groups introduced in the vinyl silane functional monomers can undergo coupling reactions with polar groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in acrylic acid molecules to form strong covalent bonds, thereby improving water resistance and mechanical stability. Even when subjected to high shear forces, it can still maintain a certain stable structure of latex particles and is not easily dispersed and deactivated.

[0044] In emulsion preparation, the timing of adding vinyl silane functional monomers significantly impacts emulsion properties. This invention involves adding a pre-emulsified monomer containing the functional monomer after the initial reaction, followed by polymerization. A small portion of the pre-emulsified monomer undergoes preliminary polymerization (i.e., seed emulsion polymerization) in the emulsifier via an initiator, forming a sufficiently large number of sufficiently small latex particles in the micelles. Then, the functional monomer and other monomeric raw materials are introduced to continue polymerization, causing the polymer particles to gradually grow and form a uniform polymer dispersion. This method allows for sufficient coupling reactions between the vinyl silane functional monomers and the polar groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the acrylic acid molecule. The vinyl functional groups are effectively grafted onto the long polymer chain, resulting in a stable reaction, moderate particle size, and improved water resistance and mechanical stability.

[0045] The water-based imitation stone emulsion prepared by this invention has an easy-to-control preparation process, a stable synthesis reaction, a moderate apparent particle size, and a low slag output. This synthesis process enhances the mechanical stability of the water-based imitation stone emulsion in the later stages. Attached Figure Description

Under environmental conditions of (23±1℃, humidity 50±2%), the disperser was turned on at 3500 rpm and dispersed at high speed until it was deactivated (the paint showed wavy patterns).
