Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of paints, and in particular to a two-component polyurethane varnish, its preparation method, paint layer, and paint layer products. Background Technology

[0002] The improvement of the scratch resistance of two-component polyurethane (2K-PUR) varnish mainly involves the following technical routes: (1) using polyisocyanate crosslinking agents modified with silane groups to improve the scratch resistance of polyurethane coatings; (2) using inorganic nano-silica particles and other additives to improve the scratch resistance of polyurethane coatings, but over time, the additives gradually wear away from the coating surface, resulting in a loss of scratch resistance; or grafting scratch-resistant additives onto the polymer skeleton to make them evenly distributed in the coating, minimizing the loss, but significantly increasing the cost of raw materials and limiting its application range; (3) using hyperbranched polyester resins, introducing functional monomers to synthesize resins, etc. to improve the scratch resistance of polyurethane coatings. However, traditional two-component polyurethane varnishes cannot simultaneously possess high appearance, high hardness, and high scratch resistance.

[0003] With the formal implementation of GB 24409-2020, the limit of hazardous substances in automotive coatings, the mandatory VOC standard for coatings has become more stringent. According to GB / T 38597-2020, the technical requirements for coating products with low volatile organic compound content, the VOC of automotive original two-component clear coats should be ≤420g / L, which most traditional two-component coatings cannot meet.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve traditional technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0288]

[0289] As shown in Table 2, compared with the comparative examples, the polyurethane varnishes provided in each embodiment have better overall performance in terms of appearance, hardness, and scratch resistance, with Example 1 showing relatively better overall performance. However, compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 did not add low molecular weight acrylic resin C2, and the mass of acrylic resin C1 was 60 kg. The large amount of C1 resin introduced caused difficulties in horizontal flow, leading to a deterioration in the horizontal appearance (long-wavelength L value). Comparative Example 2 did not add amino resin, and the mass of acrylic resin C1 and acrylic resin C2 increased by 5 kg each, resulting in a significant decrease in pencil hardness. Comparative Example 3 replaced acrylic resin C1 and acrylic resin C2 with 60 kg of low molecular weight acrylic resin C7 without hydroxyethylcaprolactone acrylate monomer, resulting in a significant decrease in scratch resistance and anti-sagging properties. Comparative Example 4 did not add high molecular weight acrylic resin C1, and the mass of acrylic resin C2 containing only hydroxyethylcaprolactone (meth)acrylate monomer was 60 kg. Kg, resulting in a significant decrease in its anti-sagging performance; Comparative Example 5 replaced acrylic resin C1 in Example 1 with an equal mass of acrylic resin C6. Due to the decrease in molecular weight, its anti-sagging performance was significantly lower than that of Example 1; Comparative Example 6 added 50 kg of acrylic resin C1 and 10 kg of acrylic resin C2. Due to the large amount of C1 resin introduced, the sagging performance was greatly improved, but it brought difficulties in horizontal flow, and the long wavelength L value of the horizontal plate was too high, resulting in the deterioration of the coating appearance; Comparative Example 7 removed the B component containing the crosslinking group isocyanate group compared to Example 1 and used amino resin as the crosslinking agent, resulting in insufficient crosslinking reaction and a decrease in coating hardness. At the same time, due to the lack of urethane bonds, the chain elasticity in the coating molecules was insufficient, resulting in a decrease in scratch resistance.
