Description

A corrosion-resistant and heat-insulating powder coating and heat-insulating pipe Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coating technology and relates to an anti-corrosion and heat-insulating powder coating and a heat-insulating pipe. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] In long-distance high-temperature water pipeline systems, steel pipes are commonly used for transporting water with a long-term temperature below 130℃ and a peak temperature not exceeding 140℃. Anti-corrosion and heat-insulating structures are added to the outer wall of the steel pipe. The inner wall of the steel pipe is in direct contact with the high-temperature water, but usually no anti-corrosion coating is applied. This is because the permeability of moisture in the coating increases at high temperatures, making it difficult for ordinary anti-corrosion coatings to prevent moisture penetration and damage. The untreated inner wall of the steel pipe, exposed to high temperature and humidity for extended periods, is more prone to corrosion, leading to leaks in the insulated pipeline.

[0004] Utility model patent CN201028159Y discloses a corrosion-resistant and heat-insulating pipeline. It consists of an epoxy heavy-duty anti-corrosion powder coating on the inner wall of a steel pipe, and an outer protective layer made of plastic, fiberglass, or galvanized iron sheet, applied sequentially to the outer wall. It is used for transporting liquids requiring corrosion resistance and heat retention. However, high temperatures promote moisture penetration into the anti-corrosion powder coating, accelerating coating damage and hindering its long-term service life.

[0005] The invention disclosed in application publication number CN104482328A presents a multi-layer system for corrosion protection and insulation of deep-sea steel pipelines. It consists of at least five layers: a phenolic epoxy powder coating sprayed onto the surface of the steel pipeline; a polyamide insulation layer covering the phenolic epoxy powder coating; a foamed polypropylene layer covering the polyamide insulation layer; a polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) isolation layer covering the foamed polypropylene layer; a rigid polypropylene anti-corrosion layer covering the PVDC isolation layer; and adhesive layers connecting the layers to achieve optimal corrosion protection, insulation, impact and scratch resistance. However, it only considers the outer layer's corrosion protection and insulation performance; the coating does not directly contact the high-temperature water, which differs from the operating conditions of long-distance high-temperature water transportation; furthermore, the need for adhesive layers between the layers makes the process overly complex.

[0006] Patent CN101205425A discloses a foamed powder coating. The raw materials include: resin, curing agent, pigments and fillers, foaming agent, flame retardant, and leveling agent. The coating has heat insulation and heat preservation effects through foaming, but its anti-corrosion performance is relatively weak. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-corrosion and heat-insulating powder coating and heat-insulating pipe to solve the problem of seepage corrosion on the inner wall of steel pipes for long-distance transportation of high-temperature water.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] In a first aspect, an anti-corrosion and heat-insulating powder coating includes a base coat, an intermediate coat, and a top coat;

[0010] The base coating comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 40-60 parts of bisphenol A epoxy resin, 10-15 parts of curing agent, 0.5-2 parts of accelerator, 1-5 parts of thermoplastic elastomer, 5-20 parts of silicone resin, 1-2 parts of coupling agent, 10-20 parts of filler, 0.5-1 part of leveling agent, and 0.5-1 part of defoamer;

[0011] The intermediate coating comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 30-40 parts maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene resin, 30-60 parts aerogel powder, 5-20 parts hollow ceramic microspheres, 1-15 parts foaming agent, 1-5 parts thermoplastic elastomer, 5-10 parts organosilicon resin, and 0.2-1 parts antioxidant.

[0012] The topcoat comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 50-70 parts polyvinylidene chloride resin, 0.5-2 parts heat stabilizer, 20-40 parts maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene resin, 1-10 parts pigments and fillers, and 0.2-1 parts antioxidant.

[0013] Secondly, the preparation method of the above-mentioned anti-corrosion and heat-insulating powder coating includes the following steps:

[0014] S1. Mix the raw materials of the base coating evenly, extrude them using a twin-screw extruder, then crush them into tablets, grind them, and pass them through a 60-180 mesh sieve to obtain the base coating.

[0015] S2. Mix the raw materials included in the intermediate layer coating evenly, melt-extrude them using a twin-screw extruder, and granulate them to obtain granules. Grind the granules and pass them through a 40-100 mesh sieve to obtain the intermediate layer coating.

[0016] S3. Mix the raw materials included in the topcoat evenly, melt-extrude using a twin-screw extruder, granulate to obtain granules, grind the granules and pass them through a 40-100 mesh sieve to obtain the topcoat.

[0017] Thirdly, an insulated pipe with the above-mentioned anti-corrosion and heat-insulating powder coating as raw material, wherein a base layer coating is attached to the inner wall of the pipe, an intermediate layer coating is attached to the base layer coating, and a top layer coating is attached to the intermediate layer coating.

[0018] The bottom layer coating is prepared from the bottom coating material, the intermediate layer coating is prepared from the intermediate layer coating material, and the top layer coating is prepared from the top layer coating material.

[0019] Optionally, the pipeline is a steel pipe.

[0020] Fourthly, the preparation method of the above-mentioned insulated pipe includes the following steps:

[0021] S4. After preheating and derusting the pipeline, heat it and then spray the base coat and intermediate coat onto the inner wall of the steel pipe in sequence.

[0022] S5. Keep the pipe rotating and send it into the heating furnace to heat it, so that the bottom layer coating can be cured and the middle layer coating can be foamed.

[0023] S6. After removing the pipe from the heating furnace, spray the topcoat coating on the inner wall.

[0024] S7. Keep the pipe rotating and send it into the heating furnace to heat it, so that the surface coating melts and flows smoothly, completing the inner wall treatment.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0026] 1. In this invention, the bottom powder coating uses epoxy resin as the main film-forming material, which has the advantages of high adhesion to the inner wall of the steel pipe and high corrosion resistance; the middle foam layer uses maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene as the skeleton structure and aerogel powder and hollow ceramic microspheres as the heat insulation medium, which has the advantage of heat insulation; the top layer uses polyvinylidene chloride with excellent barrier properties as the main film-forming material, which has good temperature resistance, can withstand high temperatures of 150°C, and can block high-temperature media to prevent media penetration under high-temperature conditions. The three-layer structure solves the problem of accelerated corrosion of the inner wall of the insulated pipe when transporting high-temperature water.

[0027] 2. The bottom coating of this invention uses epoxy resin and other materials as the main film-forming materials, which can form chemical bonds with the steel pipe substrate, giving it good adhesion. Adding a coupling agent to the bottom coating increases the compatibility between the epoxy resin and the silicone resin, while adding a thermoplastic elastomer reduces coating cracking caused by increased cohesion due to the increased coating temperature when the steel pipe is transporting high-temperature media. Adding a thermoplastic elastomer to the intermediate layer improves the toughness of the maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene resin, further reducing the risk of skeleton breakage during foaming. The maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene resin not only serves as the skeleton material for the intermediate layer, but the anhydride can also react with the epoxy resin in the bottom layer, improving the adhesion between the intermediate and bottom layers. The maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene resin added to the top coating is a similar substance to the maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene resin in the intermediate layer coating, allowing for good fusion at the contact surface and improving the adhesion between the intermediate and top layers. Therefore, no separate adhesive layer is needed between the three layers to obtain a coating structure with high interlayer bonding and no cracking, simplifying the process.

[0028] 3. The intermediate coating of this invention contains a foaming agent. After the intermediate coating is applied, it foams in a heating furnace to form a foamed layer with maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene as the skeleton structure and aerogel powder and hollow ceramic microspheres as the insulation medium. The addition of organosilicon resin further improves the temperature resistance of the foamed layer. This foamed layer has an extremely low thermal conductivity, which can reduce heat transfer during the transportation of high-temperature media, keeping the bottom coating, which is in direct contact with the inner wall of the steel pipe, at a low temperature range. This solves the problem of poor temperature resistance of the bottom coating and also slows down the aging rate of the bottom coating and other insulation structures on the outer layer of the pipe.

[0029] 4. The anti-corrosion and heat-insulating powder coating prepared by this invention can complete the bottom layer curing, intermediate layer foaming and surface layer melting and leveling processes in the heating furnace during the anti-corrosion processing of the inner wall of the heat-insulating pipe. The heating process route is simple, the production efficiency is high, and it is easy to promote. Detailed Implementation

[0127] Performance testing includes:

[0128] 1. Adhesion test: The pull-out method in GB / T 5210-2006 was used to test the adhesion between the base powder and the steel pipe, the adhesion between the base powder and the intermediate powder, the adhesion between the intermediate powder and the flour, the adhesion between the intermediate powder and the steel pipe, and the adhesion between the flour and the steel pipe.

[0129] 2. Distilled water absorption rate test: The test method in GB / T1034-2008 was adopted to test the water absorption rate of the coating after soaking in distilled water at 90℃ for 15 days.

[0130] 3. High temperature and high pressure test: Using the test method in SY / T0442-2010, the coated insulation pipe is immersed in a high pressure vessel with water at 14MPa and 150℃. After 168h of immersion test, the adhesion between the coatings is tested according to the adhesion test method.

[0131] The test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0132] Table 1

[0133]

[0134] Table 2

[0135]

[0136] Table 1 shows a performance comparison between Example 1 and the Comparative Example. It can be seen that: Compared to Comparative Example 1, Example 1 uses only a base powder to coat the steel pipe, and the adhesion between the base powder and the steel pipe mainly depends on the performance of the base powder. Therefore, the adhesion between the base powder and the steel pipe in Comparative Example 1 is consistent with that in Example 1, but after high-temperature and high-pressure testing, the adhesion decreases significantly. Comparative Example 2 uses only an intermediate powder for coating. Since the intermediate powder is a foamed layer, its contact area with the steel pipe is small, resulting in lower adhesion. Comparative Example 3 uses only flour for coating. Because the flour contains maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene material, it also has a certain adhesion to the steel pipe, and polyvinylidene chloride resin has a strong barrier effect. Therefore, compared to the intermediate powder, the adhesion is relatively larger and shows some temperature resistance, but the overall adhesion is much worse than that of Example 1. Comparative Example 4 uses a steel pipe coated with base powder and flour. The adhesion between the base layer and the steel pipe is similar to that in Example 1. Since the flour also contains maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene, it can react with the epoxy resin in the base powder, resulting in strong adhesion between the base powder and the flour. However, due to the lack of an intermediate layer, the heat insulation effect is poor, and the adhesion deteriorates after high-temperature and high-pressure testing. Comparative Example 5 removes the thermoplastic elastomer from the base powder, resulting in a significant decrease in the adhesion between the base powder and the metal after high-temperature and high-pressure testing due to the high cohesiveness of the base powder. Comparative Example 6 removes aerogel powder from the intermediate powder. After high-temperature and high-pressure testing, the overall coating adhesion decreases due to the lack of heat insulation from the aerogel. Comparative Example 7 removes maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene resin from the flour, resulting in a near loss of adhesion between the surface layer and the intermediate layer.

[0137] Table 2 shows the performance comparison between the various embodiments. It can be seen that: in Example 2, increasing the content of silicone resin in the base powder improved the temperature resistance of the base powder. After high temperature and high pressure test, the adhesion between the bottom layer and the steel pipe remained basically unchanged; in Example 3, reducing the content of aerogel powder reduced the heat insulation effect of the intermediate layer. After high temperature and high pressure test, the adhesion between the bottom layer and the metal decreased; in Example 4, reducing the content of polyvinylidene chloride weakened the barrier effect of the coating and increased the distilled water absorption rate of the coating. After high temperature and high pressure test, the adhesion between the bottom layer and the steel pipe decreased, and the adhesion between the bottom layer and the intermediate layer, and between the intermediate layer and the top layer also decreased.

[0138] As can be seen from the data in the embodiments, the anti-corrosion and heat-insulating powder material of the present invention has excellent water resistance and high temperature resistance. During the transportation of high temperature water, it can prevent water from penetrating the coating, increase the anti-corrosion ability of the steel pipe, and further extend the service life of the heat-insulating pipe.

[0139] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
